There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people in the Raleigh area who have a Casper Holroyd story of kindness and friendship to share. Many of them gathered Thursday at Holroyd's beloved church to tell their stories and say goodbye to a remarkable man.
Holroyd died last week at 86, shortly after being diagnosed with lymphoma. He lived a jam-packed life and was energetic until the end.
Holroyd was active in the public arena and served as chairman of the old Raleigh school board in the 1960s and '70s. He supported school integration when many whites in Raleigh were reluctant.
As his long-time friend Burley Mitchell, former chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court, noted in our news obituary, Holroyd's friendliness and good listening skills helped smooth the path to integration and eventually toward a merger with Wake County schools. That merger led to the development of a strong public school system, which helped attract newcomers from across the country, prevented flight to the suburbs and kept the city's core strong.
So Holroyd, who also served four terms in the state House, had an enduring impact on this community's public life. But he also helped change Raleigh on a more personal level, one person at a time.
It was those joyous one-on-one interactions that the Rev. Rick Clayton, his pastor at Hayes Barton United Methodist Church, described to a knowing audience of about 700 people gathered Thursday afternoon for Holroyd's memorial service. Clayton described Holroyd, a strong extrovert, as "a man with a plan to pull people together." Holroyd's happiness was contagious.
Clayton told about the time he went to a Duke men's basketball game in Cameron Indoor Stadium with Holroyd, a 1948 Duke graduate, former head manager of the football team and avid Blue Devil fan. Holroyd introduced Clayton to a who's who of Duke people, including the university president. Holroyd, who seemed to always have his camera with him, took photographs of Clayton with many of them, including the Blue Devil mascot.
After the game, as they were driving away from Cameron, Holroyd spotted a Duke cheerleader walking. Holroyd pulled over, explained that he had his pastor with him and asked whether he could take a photo with her. Of course she said yes – no one ever said no to Casper.
"He was a best friend to every single one of us," Clayton said. "Your great moments were his great moments."
Clayton remembered Holroyd's amazing energy level, even into his 80s. Holroyd and his second wife, Mary, ran 19 marathons together. (They married in 1982, about 10 years after Holroyd's first wife, Betty Ann, died. Mary is a former member of the Wake school board.)
The JOY Class
While Holroyd, an insurance agent, was a runner and Duke loyalist with many interests, his strongest passion was the JOY Class, the youth Sunday school class he started at Hayes Barton Methodist 50 years ago. JOY stands for Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last. He remained the driving force behind the class, which now has about 200 members, up until a few weeks ago.
Holroyd phoned each student on his or her birthday. He inquired about their friends and families. He attended students' ball games, swim meets, chorus concerts and dance recitals with his faithful camera; a week later, photos of the student would arrive in the mail at his or her home.
Holroyd encouraged the adult leaders of the class to befriend the students, who are in sixth through 12th grades, especially students who might have appeared lonely, troubled or shy. Several of today's adult leaders were JOY students decades ago and have known Holroyd for most of their lives.
When Holroyd was hospitalized 10 days ago and it became clear the end was near, former students and Holroyd's JOY Class friends began emailing each other with memories of him.
Bo Walker, a Raleigh lawyer and JOY Class leader, relayed his conversations with Holroyd about how to maintain and build a strong youth program. Most important, Holroyd said, are the relationships between the students and the adults. In the JOY Class, all boundaries are knocked down, including age. "I think we are only successful because of the relationships that are formed," Holroyd told Walker.
Welcome home
I first met Holroyd 30 years ago when he was running for the state legislature and I was a young reporter. In the last 10 years, when my family returned to Raleigh, Holroyd welcomed us to Hayes Barton Methodist, which my wife had attended years ago.
When Holroyd pulled me aside five years ago and asked me to teach Sunday school, I didn't want to say no to this amazing man who had been so good to my family. But I also thought he needed to know I was Catholic.
"We've had people do a lot worse things than that," he responded. Then he laughed that hearty Casper laugh; that wasn't quite what he meant to say. "You know what I mean!" he said. With that, I became possibly the only Catholic teaching Methodist Sunday school in Raleigh.
Those of us befriended by Holroyd feel richer to have been his friend and to have seen his daily example of selflessness. Francis of Assisi, the 13th century Italian who gave up his wealth to serve others, has been paraphrased as saying: Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.
Casper Holroyd didn't need words.

Men's golf finishes 11th at the Linger Longer Invitational
Related Links
Bobby Fredeking carded a three-under par 69 in the final round as the JU men's golf team finished in 11th at the Linger Longer Invitational on the par-72 Great Waters Course at Reynolds Plantation.
The Dolphins shot a 14-over par, 302, in the last round to slip into 11th place at 39-over par for the event.
No. 4 Alabama won the 13-team event at 18-under par, carding a four-under par 284 in the final round. Cory Whitsett, ranked 17th nationally, won the individual competition by one at 13-under par over teammate Bud Cauley.
"This is another great tournament for us to participate in this spring and we continue to get closer to putting up some really good scores," said JU head coach Mike Blackburn. "We're going to look at how we finish rounds this week because we have lost a lot of shots in the last few holes this week."
Fredeking's round of 69 is his best this season and his most consistent. The junior made three birdies on the day and had 15 pars, moving up from a tie for 46th to a tie for 24th at five-over par.
Gavin Frost had the next best round for JU, carding a three-over par 75, putting up three birdies on the back nine to shoot one-under par for his final nine holes. The senior finished the event tied for 40th at 10-over par.
Jamey Salmon shot a six-over par 78 to finish in a tie for 58th at 14-over par. Trey Douglas had his best round of the event, carding an eight-over par 80 to finish in 72nd place. Dillon Batsel struggled in his final round, shooting an 82 to fall into a tie for 48th at 12-over par.
The Dolphins are off until they participate in the River Landing Intercollegiate on April 8.

A planning agreement was signed today between the Defense Ministry, Finance Ministry, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Israel Land Authority, under which the Defense Ministry will be responsible for planning the evacuation of five IDF bases in central Israel.
The bases will be moved to the Negev, Galilee, and Lod. More than 25,000 apartments and hundreds of thousands of square meters of office space will be built on the vacated land. As "Globes" reported on February 5, the five IDF bases to be vacated are the Adjunct General HQ in Ramat Gan, the Tel Hashomer base near Ramat Gan, the Sirkin base outside Petah Tikva, the Zerifin base outside Rishon LeZion, and the Horodsky base in Givatayim.
The agreement was signed after five months of negotiations. Under the agreement, the Defense Ministry will obtain planning permission in advance of the sale of the vacated land. Last week, the Defense Ministry's head of logistics operations and properties Brig.-Gen. (res.) Betzalel Trayber told the Knesset State Control Committee that it would be possible to begin selling some IDF bases within two years.
The civilian planning and the evacuation of the bases will be carried out in stages, as follows: the Adjunct General HQ in Ramat Gan, the Horodsky base in Givatayim, and Tel Hashomer will be vacated in 3-5 years; Zerifin in 5-6 years; and Sirkin in seven years.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the decision a "historic departure of the IDF from central Israel" and said it would "bring rapid growth to the Negev, contribute to the economy, create thousands of jobs, and ease the housing crisis in central Israel."

By Nathan Brown The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Shenandoah football coach Scot Widner said he and his players were just happy to be in the regional round of the 2012 IHSAA Class 2A state tournament.
No matter that they lost by 42 points to Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter, the eventual runner-up in the state title game. Taking down perennial powerhouse Heritage Christian in the sectional championship, 41-35, alone made last season a success.
"It was a great win for our program," Widner said. "We felt like that senior class last year set the bar for the program for future classes.
"I hope they enjoyed the experience more than anything, just the opportunity to advance in the tournament and play the extra week and see what it's like to play the caliber of team we played in Indianapolis Ritter in the regional."
But now that his boys have tasted it once, Widner said he doesn't want to settle for just enjoying the experience of a regional game anymore. He thinks his squad learned a lot from the big loss and will come back stronger this season.
Widner wants to compete.
"I think that was great for those kids to see where we need to get to if we want to get to be a championship football team and program," Widner said. "That's the biggest thing, I think, that's going to help us from last year is that we got to that point. We made some mistakes, some coaching mistakes and playing mistakes. We'll do our best to fix those and hopefully narrow that gap a little bit, a 40-point gap last season. We've got a lot of work to do obviously to make that a respectable game."
This summer Widner said he's been a bit disappointed at the number of kids he saw during offseason workouts, but the ones who showed up put in quality work. He added that after looking at tape from the postseason games, his returning players have been very receptive to tips that Widner and his staff have tried to instill.
Although the numbers for the Raiders have been down, Widner insisted the experience returning to this fall's team is what will make it special.
Shenandoah's core will include two running backs who each gained 1,000 yards last season. The men blocking for them will also be a strong force, with both offensive guards, the center and an offensive tackle returning to the offensive line.
On the other side of the ball, Widner will have eight experienced players returning.
As in the past, Widner hopes to be able to rely on the Raiders' running game to carry the team deep into the postseason, but the key to a successful season, he said, will be developing a defense that can defend exactly what his offense is good at.
"Something we've worked on in the offseason, all winter with the coaches and in the spring and summer with the kids, is our run defense," Widner said. "We've really spent a lot of time and energy to that. I hope that improves as well. I think our key at our level is being able to run the ball and being able to stop the run."
Widner wasn't quite ready to put a win total out there before the season started, but he added that now that his team knows what it takes to make it to the regional round and taste defeat, he hopes they work even harder to make it back and beyond.
"It's hard to tell what people have until we get going, and it's hard to tell what team we have until we get going," he said. "We've got an idea of what we'll be like, but you really just aren't sure.
"We're just going to pound it out one at a time and try to improve each time we get on the field, and hopefully if we do that, everything else will take care of itself."

The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center celebrates its grand opening on August 23, unveiling exhibits and experiences designed to inspire the hero in visitors. The Freedom Center is housed in a new three-story building on the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati. The building was designed by Blackburn Architects of Indianapolis in cooperation with BOORA Architects of Portland, Oregon.
Jack Rouse Associates (JRA) designed and produced the guest experience for the institution, which is dedicated to fostering safe, open and honest dialogue on issues of freedom both locally and internationally. JRA's scope included story line development, exhibits, interactives, and multimedia pieces such as an environmental theater and an opening film that communicates the Center's themes using animation by international artists.
There are interactive displays throughout the Freedom Center
The Center chronicles one of the most painful episodes in the United States' history while celebrating the courage and perseverance of those who aided escaping slaves by creating the network of "conductors" known as the Underground Railroad. But the Freedom Center is not simply a museum or a history lesson. It is an experience that challenges visitors of all races, ages, and backgrounds to think about what freedom means in their lives today, to discuss those concepts with others, and to take action if they feel so moved.
The Freedom Center's exhibits and programs are like no other. With a focus on experiential learning over artifacts, the Center is on the leading edge of a new generation of cultural centers. The Center's approach arose from a recognition that presenting sensitive and polarizing subjects to diverse audiences would require a fresh strategy. To retain relevance and audience appeal, its story needed to have meaning today, and tomorrow.
"We saw an opportunity for the Freedom Center to suggest that there are current issues of freedom and unfreedom that involve you and are worth your stepping forward and doing something, like the people on the Underground Railroad did," says Bob Harness, JRA's Vice President for Creative. "By and large, conductors on the Underground Railroad were average people, just like you and me."
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center's story is based on the perpetual struggle between those who would enslave or repress and those who would be free. As visitors make their way through the Freedom Center, they encounter exhibits, media pieces and thought-provoking activities that position stories about the Underground Railroad as examples of courage, perseverance and interracial cooperation in support of freedom.
For example, the Brothers of the Borderland exhibit is an environmental theatre experience that gives visitors a visceral appreciation of the courage and cooperation exhibited by those who helped escaping slaves. Through the magic of technology and high definition film; visitors are literally there during a heart-pounding escape from slavery.
The Brothers of the Borderland Theatre experience
In the months leading to its opening, the Freedom Center has attracted a great deal of attention from scholars, museum professionals and the local and national community. A number of events and programs are planned for the Center's grand opening and beyond. For more information, please visit www.freedomcenter.org/press.

TC block rebuild
I started rebuilding the touch control block(early style) on my dads cub. When I took back cover off things went sorts haywire and parts were falling out on to bench. Is there a diagram of in what order the parts go back in? He bought a parts manual a long time ago but it's not printed clearly enough for me to tell what order parts go into the block.

There are 2 different ones, and you need to order the kit by the number cast into the side. Or on some it us under the overhang on the front of the block.

Cougars fall in battle of the unbeatens
PLATTSBURGH — In a game filled with physical play for undefeated teams, Section II champion Ichabod Crane gritted out a 3-0 win against Section VII champion Northeastern Clinton in Class B boys' regional championship soccer play at Plattsburgh High School Saturday.
Two minutes into the game, an Ichabod Crane attacker was pushed from behind in the box and the Riders were awarded a penalty kick. Seth Scarano lined up for the kick and converted on his chance with a low strike to the left side of the net to give the Riders an early 1-0 lead.
With the tally, Scarano now has 40 goals on the year. While a good scoreboard result, the goal actually hampered the team, Ichabod Crane coach Mattias Norgen said.
"It was early in the game and we score on a penalty kick," Norgen said. "We then had the lead and our guys kind of laid back for a bit. I really thought NCCS had the better first half."
Trailing by a goal, the Cougars applied offensive pressure deep in Ichabod Crane zone. Less than 10 minutes after the first goal, Northeastern Clinton fired a shot off the crossbar. The Cougars then had near scores off corner kicks and scrambles in the box. Known for its speed and physical play, Northeastern Clinton had to battle an Ichabod Crane offense that used one-touch passes and crafty footwork on the sidelines to move upfield.
"The physical play was a shock for some of our guys," Norgen said. "We don't see a lot of teams that play that way, so it was important that we matched the intensity."
Both teams battled throughout the game with the biggest play resulting in a yellow and subsequent red card for Northeastern Clinton standout Kyle McCarthy. The Riders then had a would-be goal after a bicycle kick waved off for offside. With the call, the game entered halftime with a 1-0 score.
Like the first half, Ichabod Crane wasted no time scoring in the second half. Diego Lezama picked up the loose ball and swiped a shot into the net just 35 seconds in for the 2-0 lead. That lead extended when Jaesues Gomez lined a shot to the lower right corner.
The Cougars had their share of scoring opportunities, but could not find the back of the net. While a power team throughout the regular season, Northeastern Clinton struggled to put all the pieces together in Saturday's game.
"The more you go into the postseason, the harder games get," Northeastern Clinton coach Dale Hawksby said. "I couldn't be happier for our guys for this whole season. We were always aggressive and hustled."
Rider keeper Pierce Reilly had a four-save shutout while Josh Rabideau made seven saves for the Cougars.
Ichabod Crane continues its unbeaten season at 20-0-1 while Northeastern Clinton ends its season at 16-1 after claiming another sectional championship.
Ichabod Crane 3, Northeastern Clinton 0
Ichabod Crane 1 2 — 3
Northeastern Clinton 0 0 — 0
First half – 1, IC, Scarano (PK), 2:54
Second half – 2, IC, Lezama, 0:35. 3, IC, J. Gomez (E. Gomez), 6:30.
Shots: Ichabod Crane 10, Northeasten Clinton 4.
Saves: Reilly, IC, 4. Rabideau, NCCS, 7.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- Medical marijuana is one of more than 200 new state laws to take effect new year's day.
Some of them change how you drive.
Starting January 1st no talking on cell phones while behind the wheel.
Folks need a hands-free device or face a first-time 75 dollar fine.
Flicking your cigarette butt out of the car window will also be illegal.
Getting caught could cost you up to 15-hundred dollars.
And you can speed up in 2014, but don't get your hopes up too fast.
Though the law takes effect tomorrow, drivers will have to wait until signs are posted to go 70 miles per hour.

(CNN) -- A landing gear part that fell from the sky into a suburban Seattle neighborhood came from a ABX Air jet, the cargo airline formerly known as Airborne Express, the company said on Monday.
The part, about the size of a refrigerator door panel, narrowly missed a parked car in Friday's incident. No one on the ground was hurt and the plane landed safely.
ABX Air spokesman Paul Cunningham confirmed reports that the object was a landing gear panel from one of its Boeing 767s, which was arriving in Seattle from Cincinnati.
The plane was manufactured in 1985, records showed.
"We are very concerned about this sort of thing," Cunningham told CNN. "We have programs and procedures that we use to try and ensure the safety and reliability of our operations. This is quite an unusual thing."
The Federal Aviation Administration, which declined to identify the owner of the plane, recovered the part, Cunningham and witnesses said.
The FAA said it was investigating and Cunningham said ABX was cooperating.
"We have no information yet to determine what the causes were related to this. It could have been any number of things," he said.
Resident Leah Dermody told CNN affiliate that neighbors claimed to have heard a plane pass very low over the Seattle-area neighborhood just before the part fell.

Chita Rivera is back once again on Broadway, this time with her own show titled, aptly enough, Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life. It's a celebration of the life and career of a singer, dancer, actress, and one of America's most beloved stage performers. For this project, sound designer Scott Lehrer has put together a FOH sound system that stretches the use of digital audio and audio control for a Broadway production.
The core of Lehrer's FOH system consists of a Yamaha PM5D as the main FOH console, with an Aviom YGDAI card for band monitoring, a Yamaha DME64N as FOH matrix/drive cascaded from the PM5D, and a Yamaha DM1000 with two AD8HR mic preamps for drum and percussion submixes. For the touring production of Chicago, he has assembled a similar, though not identical, FOH setup using a Yamaha PM5D as the main FOH console, a Yamaha DME32 as FOH matrix/drive, and a Yamaha DM1000 sidecar. But The Dancer's Life is the first time he's brought this core setup to Broadway.
Loudspeaker systems include: a D-VDOSC center cluster, supported by d&b audiotechnik Q1s for left/right systems; d&bs on stage for the band; and a combination of d&b E3s and E0s for fills and delay, plus EAW JF80s and 100s. The systems are powered by a combination of Camco, d&b, and Yamaha amplifiers.
Pre-production began in February, when Lehrer began working with the show's musical director Mark Hummel, lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, and set designer Loy Arcenas, to understand the setup of the stage and band. In what's becoming more and more common on Broadway these days, the 12 musicians in the band are on stage — there is no pit orchestra — on a platform with eight different levels.
"The staging presented its own issues for communications that we had to work out," says Lehrer, "mainly video and audio monitoring for all the musicians and the conductor. We use an Aviom personal mix system for audio monitoring, which is great because it interfaces beautifully with the Yamaha PM5D and really simplifies setup.
"The conductor is the keyboard player, so we put two video cameras on him, one for when he's sitting and playing and one for when he's standing and conducting, so we could get good shots of his hands in two different positions," he continues. "We created a little foot pedal video switcher that allows him to switch cameras. He finds it annoying, but it really works pretty well."
The original plan for the show was to send it out on tour. But instead, producers opted to open the show at the Old Globe in San Diego for a pre-Broadway tryout, which necessitated Lehrer rethinking the sound system. August was spent building the system in the shop in NYC; the show moved to San Diego in September. Lehrer's design associate for the show, Leon Rothenberg, supervised the build and load-in. The last weeks of October were spent in the shop in NYC. FOH engineer for the Broadway show, Chris Sloan, spent ten days in October at the Globe learning the show from house FOH engineer Eric Carstenson.
Using the delay matrix in the DME64N, Lehrer's able to set levels on the matrix from anywhere in the house. "I can go upstairs to the balcony with my laptop and, via a wireless LAN, control the DME64N in front of an audience. This is a really different way of working. In the past, I'd be running up and down the aisles, using a walkie-talkie checking levels.
"The DME is a really great way to get sound designers to work on shows and look at controlling their front-of-house in a new way," he continues. "It's a much more comprehensive, all-in-one box solution." Even with other digital consoles, he notes, you still need an external drive rack. "We have a rack that contains the two DME64's, a switch-over box, a computer for programming, and a computer that runs the software for the DM1000 and PM5D. That's our drive rack."
And, as with all digital desks, the producers are in love with its footprint. "A typical analog desk," says Lehrer, "can take up as many as 16 seats. At $100 a seat, that's a lot of box office to give up every week. For every pair of seats you can give back to the producers, you're giving them close to a couple thousand dollars a week in income. Every seat counts in a Broadway theatre."

He has 168 receptions for 2,628 yards and 19 touchdowns. He made the 2012 Pro Bowl and is considered one of the league's best slot receivers.

A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent shot and killed a suspected illegal immigrant on Sunday.
It happened Sunday morning not far from Kitt Peak in the Baboquivari Mountains southwest of Tucson.
The agency did not release a statement until Tucson News Now's Dan Marries contacted them asking for confirmation following an anonymous tip two days later.
"At 12:25 p.m. MST Sunday, a Border Patrol agent on patrol approximately 12 miles northwest of the Sasabe, Ariz., port of entry encountered an unknown number of individuals who had crossed the border illegally. During the encounter, the agent discharged his service issued weapon, resulting in the death of one of the individuals. Agents apprehended six other individuals. CBP is fully cooperating with tribal and FBI investigators."
The statement went on to read, "preliminary information indicates that a physical altercation ensued between the agent and one of the suspected illegal aliens. During the altercation the agent discharged his service issued weapon, resulting in the death of the individual."

Unlike Light I want to go to heaven :P So I wouldn't use it.
I would use it to kill someone extreamly wealthy and make them write a will leaving me everything would move to an island with a couple of servants and wouldnt work another day in my life.
I'd probably use it like Light...
I would use it towards my goal of world domination (jk). No but seriously if I was offered the death note, I would run in the opposite direction as fast as possible.

Do the same as Light. There are a lot of people out there being put on blast on the social media that either don't get punished enough for what they do or don't get punished at all. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and much more freely walk our streets due to a lack of justice. Granted, i'm nowhere near as bright as Light or L and would probably be caught quickly, i would no doubt follow his footsteps...just without, y'know, the selfish intentions of making myself a god of a new world

|UNICEF worked with a team of international artists to create the e-greetings.
El contenido de esta página estará disponible en español próximamente
By Raquel Wilson
NEW YORK, USA, 20 December 2006 ─ After a successful first year, UNICEF's electronic greetings service, available online at www.unicef-shop.com, has undergone several improvements for this holiday season.
Originally launched in December 2005, the service allows individuals and businesses in nine countries around the globe to send virtual cards to friends, family members, clients and customers, while making a donation to support UNICEF's programmes for children.
And because the e-greetings are sent instantly, they are ideal for last-minute holiday wishes.
'Flexible and easier to use'
Currently available to UNICEF supporters Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden the newly redesigned site offers a fresh look with a simpler process for choosing and sending cards. (In industrialized countries not participating in the project, some of UNICEF's national committees offer their own e-card services.)
Also implemented with the redesign were several new options for payment. Purchases can now be made using direct debit, credit cards, online bank transfers or integrated payment gateways in specified countries.
"We wanted to make the site more flexible and easier to use," says UNICEF e-greetings project leader Roger Keczkes.
Humanitarian appeal
Available in a wide variety of interactive designs, the e-greetings feature music and animations appropriate for many different occasions including Christmas, Hanukkah and birthdays. After personalizing their card, users pay a low minimum fee per recipient with the option to specify a larger amount for donation to UNICEF.
Through another new feature entitled 'What the money buys', users of the service are also able to see real examples of how UNICEF puts their money to work in two vital areas: emergency situations, where help is immediately needed, and ongoing programmes, which focus on child survival, child protection, education for all and support for children affected by HIV/AIDS.
While the project has already been a rewarding endeavour for UNICEF, further improvements are in the works with FullSIX London, the agency responsible for developing the e-greetings site. "Our future plans will further enhance the service and make it more enjoyable for everyone," says Mr. Keczkes.

PEORIA, Ill -- The Smo-King Pit at Northwoods Mall in Peoria is the perfect place to start our rib tour.
Owner, Michael Citchens has been perfecting his technique over eight years and teaches us the basics to basting the best barbecue.
"The number one thing is the meat," said Citchens. "You've got to start with a good foundation. When we're talking about ribs, it has to be a nice, thick consistency."
He says the second most important aspect is the smoker.
"I use racks in my smoker, and it's a gravity-fed rack, so the heat starts from the bottom and works its way up to the top." Citchens said ribs are best when, "...cooked low and slow"
And as for the sauce?
"It's sweet and tangy, and when I bring the sauce in, I do mix other things to it," Citchens said modestly. "I make it hot or make it sweet."
The sauce is what makes a rib Kansas City style.
However, the Smo-King Pit signature sauce is such a specialty, Citchens prefers to call it Peoria style.
"It just gets in your mouth and the taste buds just come alive," long-time customer Alger Johnson told us. "It's a little tangy, a little sweet and like I said, finger lickin' good."
"We've tried a lot of barbecue places all around the area, and this is one of the best," said Jim Shaver.
Photographer Larry Foulk and I agree.
Larry ordered a full rack, and as he put it, "The meat literally fell right off the bone."
These ribs are as tender as they get with three sauces to choose from: signature, honey barbecue and habanero hot sauce.
Citchens even brought us a side of dry rub to sample, which I think is the best way to do Memphis Style.
We'll save that for one of the coming rib specials.
I had the choose your own dinner with ribs and Smo-King Pit's other favorite item, pulled pork, a pile of white meat you can pick apart easily with a simple slice of bread if you're craving a small sandwich.
Our bill with sides was $31.93 plus tip.
After eating here, you can tell Citchens meansit when he says he grew up on barbecue before opening the restaurant with his wife.
"I work here with my family, so it's kind of the same thing when I was a kid, And I just love it. It's not work to me. It's something I love doing, and I love it."
The Smo-King Pit is in the Northwoods Mall.
They are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans! Leakypedia Page of the Day.Books
Happy Friday everyone!
Happy Friday everyone!
Cool! I wont be able to do these till the end of the year since I'm out of town :(
haha! I need some of those.
My favorite food is cinnamon buns! I'm sure I'd like cinnamon in bean shape!
I got some from hot topic but my mom said i cant have them till christmas so she wrapped them up :D
i want to buy some, but i havent found any yet :(
How do we edit pages on Leakypedia?
I love Bertie Botts! They are so much fun to eat with friends! I got a pepper flavoured one which made my mouth burn for sooo long! And two of my friends got a worm flavoured one (they spit it out right away!)
oh man, I hate berti botts, the first one I ate was a vomit flavored one, after that none of them tasted good. I think I will stick to the chocolate frogs and blood pops
I edited!
I hope they have these at the Harry Potter theme park! I am going there in 2 weeks!
OMG, I remember the first time I had these…. my sister and I were in her room with a bag of 'em and just trying all the flavors…. I'm pretty sure we both got stomach aches….
i'll add more
Just one question: How do you get onto a Leakypedia page?
The beans aren't particularly tasty, but it's all about the experience of trying them.
I love bertie botts every flavour beans! Earwax is one of my favourites as well but I can never seem to find them anywhere now that the books have all been published…It's sad.
I like this video!
I wish to be able to get my hands on some beans :→

Homosexual-themed drama "Duoc La Chinh Minh," which hit Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City's stages from May to September, will be brought back to HCMC and Dak Lak for free on the occasion of Christmas and the coming New Year.
For the third time, the play, which is named "Stereo Women" in English, is sponsored by the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives under the Canadian Embassy in collaboration with iSEE, the Hanoi-based non-profit Institute of Social, Economic and Environment.
Under the plan, in HCMC the drama will be performed at FPT University, the city's College of Stage and Cinema, Hong Bang University, HCMC University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology, HCMC University of Pedagogy and HCMC University of Transport from December 24 to 31.
In Dak Lak, the show will take place at the College of Culture and Arts and the Central Highlands Ethnic Youth Vocational College on January 2 and 3, respectively.
"Duoc La Chinh Minh" is organized by ICS center, an organization supporting local lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people (LGBT) in Vietnam.
Directed by Bui Nhu Lai, the drama is a mix of body installation art, contemporary dancing, and acting. Inspired by the Hanoi-based non-profit Institute of Social, Economic and Environment's study called "Cau Chuyen Cua 40 Nguoi Nu Yeu Nu" (Stories of 40 Women Loving Women), "Duoc La Chinh Minh" presents a mosaic of the rich and colorful lives of the LGBT community, which has been looked down upon by society for years.

John Boozman on Immigration
Republican Representative (AR-3)
Proponents support voting YES because:
It is obvious there is no more defining issue in our Nation today than stopping illegal immigration. The most basic obligation of any government is to secure the Nation's borders. One issue in which there appears to be a consensus between the Senate and the House is on the issue of building a secure fence. So rather than wait until comprehensive legislation is enacted, we should move forward on targeted legislation which is effective and meaningful. The legislation today provides over 700 miles of two-layered reinforced fencing, and for the rest of the border provides a virtual fence, via integrated surveillance technology.
Opponents support voting NO because:
Just to build the fence is going to cost us at least $7 billion. Where is the money coming from to pay for it? How much is it going to cost to maintain this 700-mile fence? Who is going to do it? This bill contains no funding.
This bill also ignores real enforcement measures, like hiring more Border Patrol personnel, and instead builds a Berlin Wall on our southern border. So long as employers need workers in this country, and while our immigration systems impede rather than facilitate timely access of willing workers to those opportunities, undocumented immigration will never be controlled.
Walls, barriers, and military patrols will only force those immigrants to utilize ever more dangerous routes and increase the number of people who die in search of an opportunity to feed and clothe their families.
None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to provide a foreign government information relating to the activities of an organized volunteer civilian action group, operating in the State of California, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona, unless required by international treaty.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national, non-profit, public interest membership organization of concerned citizens united by their belief in the need for immigration reform. Founded in 1979, FAIR believes that the U.S. can and must have an immigration policy that is non-discriminatory and designed to serve the environmental, economic, and social needs of our country.
FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.
With more than 70,000 members nationwide, FAIR is a non-partisan group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative.
The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
U.S. Border Control, founded in 1988, is a non-profit, tax-exempt, citizen's lobby. USBC is dedicated to ending illegal immigration by securing our nation's borders and reforming our immigration policies. USBC [works with] Congressmen to stop amnesty; seal our borders against terrorism and illegal immigration; and, preserve our nation's language, culture and American way of life for future generations.
Our organization accepts no financial support from any branch of government. All our support comes from concerned citizens who appreciate the work we are doing to seal our borders against drugs, disease, illegal migration and terrorism and wish to preserve our nation's language, culture and heritage for the next generations.
A bill to provide that Executive Order 13166 shall have no force or effect, and to prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes.
Be it enacted that Executive Order 13166, 'Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency' (August 16, 2000), is null and void and shall have no force or effect.
On August 11, 2000, the President signed Executive Order 13166. The Executive Order requires Federal agencies to examine the services they provide, identify any need for services to those with limited English proficiency (LEP), and develop and implement a system to provide those services so LEP persons can have meaningful access to them.
The amendment made by subsection (a)(3) shall not be construed to affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the date of the enactment of this Act.
[OnTheIssues note: This bill would change the existing interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which currently defines as a US citizen any person born within US territory. This bill intends to remove the right of illegal aliens to gain US citizenship by bearing children while in the country illegally; the issue is known by bill supporters as "anchor babies"]
ALIPAC supporters have a diverse range of opinions, yet we are united in the belief that more should be done to reduce illegal immigration. ALIPAC supports those that legally immigrate, but we DO NOT support any amnesty, visa expansion, or "Guest Worker" program designed to reward illegal aliens or legalize their presence in the US. We support a peaceful, non racist, rule of law approach to resolving illegal immigration. America is a land of generous and caring people, but our hospitality and values are being strained and abused by those who are willing to break the law and take our jobs and our tax dollars. America's illegal alien population will begin to shrink instead of grow if we support candidates that will reflect the will of the vast majority of American citizens.
This bill declares English as the official language of the United States, establishes a uniform English language rule for naturalization.

Several Meat and Livestock Groups Urge Inclusion of FAAIR in Farm Bill
Nearly 50 meat and livestock groups signed onto a letter to the leaders of both Agriculture Committees to express support for inclusion of the Farm Animal Agriculture Integrated Research Initiative in the farm bill. FAAIR is part of the Senate-passed Farm Bill - and according to its supporters - represents an important opportunity to advance critical priorities in the area of animal science. According to the letter - current USDA funding to support the animal sciences is not proportionate with the economic contributions of animal agriculture. The letter also states the investment in the animal sciences has been declining for many years. FAAIR would help address this shortfall in federal investment by supporting high-priority research in the areas of food security, One Health and stewardship. The research priorities in FAAIR build on the Farm Animal Integrated Research 2012 priority setting process - which brought together leaders from industry, academia and government to identify critical priorities for the animal sciences.
The National Pork Producers Council, American Meat Institute, National Farmers Union and National Milk Producers Federation were among the groups signing the letter.

February 11, 2013
Today marks 35 years with the Victoria Advocate. It's been an interesting venture punctuated with the earmarks of technology, like the pencil marks on the doorway recording various heights through one's youth.
Black and white film was the standard before that pesky McPaper USA Today, introduced the practice of publishing color on every section front. The term "cut and paste" came from the practice of editing stories on the composing room tables into the final form. If the srory ran long, an editor and composing room veteran with a box cutter in one hand and a cigarette in the other, literally cut and pasted sentences and paragraphs from the story until it fit the allotted space and still made sense.
In the darkroom, photographers used a variety of homemade tools used to darken or lighten areas of the print, often 3 or 4 times till the right combination of blending produced a good print. Shooting in low light was nearly impossible without flash, there wasn't any auto white balance and certainly no auto focus. In fact there weren't any computers yet at the end of the '70s.
Each decade brought greater strides in productivity, but armed with all the new bells and whistles brought a dynamic shift in the news gathering and reporting. CNN and the advent of news brought to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week had an effect on the way we digested news, thought about it and processed it.
Just as we had no idea what the impact of almost instantaneously receiving breaking news would be, as we watched as O.J. Simpson ride for hours on California Highways with a fleet of police officers following in a slow procession.
Social media has made its mark as well, substituting a real one-on-one conversations once delivered face to face, one person at a time. Now it's more convenient to email rather than have a short conversation and in the process we have distanced ourselves from human contact.
Photojournalism continues to play an important role but I'm afraid the message is somehow becoming increasingly difficult to exist in a sea of images, videos and text messages. Images that tell a story need to be absorbed slowly and allowed to work itself into the fabric of our soul, something quite counter-intuitive to the process of rapidly pounding the simulated tabs of a smartphone keyboard.
Sadly, Marshall McLuhan had it right so many years ago, ..."the medium is the message."

The Chicago White Sox lost to the Boston Red Sox 10-3 on Friday night at U.S. Cellular Field. The loss is their fourth in a row and leaves Chicago at 10-10 on the season, temporarily out of first place in the A.L. Central division.
John Danks lost his command in the sixth inning when he walked Adrian Gonzalez and then unleashed a wild pitch allowing Gonzalez to advance to second base. Danks went on to allow three singles, two walks and a double on the inning before being pulled for reliever Nate Jones. His final line was seven earned runs on 5.2 innings pitched.
A.J. Pierzynski had a strong game with a RBI double in the first and then he later scored in the third after an Alex Rios single. A Paul Konerko homerun to the bullpen in leftfield capped the scoring for the White Sox.
The White Sox continue with game three of their four game series against Boston on Saturday night.

Criticized by Alito, federal judge sees a lack of 'understanding or interest' in bias issues
Posted Dec 9, 2013 12:53 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A federal judge in Manhattan says he is undeterred by criticism by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
In an interview with Reuters last week, U.S. District Judge Harold Baer defended his practice of encouraging law firms to staff some class actions with minority and women lawyers. And Baer told the wire service that Alito lacked "either understanding or interest" in the discrimination faced by blacks, Latinos and women.
Alito had criticized Baer in a statement issued last month when the court denied cert in a case involving Sirius XM Radio. Alito questioned the constitutionality of what he said was apparently a "standard practice" by Baer—imposing race- and sex-based staffing requirements on law firms in class-certification orders.
Baer told Reuters he notes the value of such staffing but he doesn't make it a requirement, and he only does so in cases where the plaintiffs are mainly minorities and women.
Baer, 80, said he wasn't surprised by Alito's statement. "I think the tongue-in-cheek answer would be that I was surprised because of how much he's done in the way of supporting anti-discrimination laws over the years," Baer said. "But that would be just a facetious comment."
