"Card quality was excellent, print quality was good, and service was exceptional. Paper had a slight texture to it so we were concerned about print quality of the photograph we were inserting. I was surprised to see the photo came out real nice. It is however, NOT photo paper so don't expect it to be ultra-crisp!"
"Thank You for helping to make this Christmas one of our best in years! We had almost decided against any Christmas Card - let along a personalized one - but then we came across your on-line site and took the opportunity! You delivered a beautiful card (almost prettier than the sample) and it was delivered to our mail box - quickly, safely and in perfect condition. Our friends and family responded with much warmth and happiness ! Again, Thank You!"
"I thought the design and pictures turned out great and although I was expecting the card to be on photo paper, not on cardboard like material, it was still very nice and held up better than if it were on the photo paper! Everyone that received a card complimented on how nice they were!"
"I arranged for a special photo shoot last summer to be done in an old abandoned factory in my hometown and our photographer took a dramatic long shot of my husband and I in each other's arms. I really wanted to use it for our holiday greetings but couldn't imagine how to pull it off and this card layout was the perfect frame, with just the right touch of whimsy and cheekiness! It was on great card stock and the printing was flawless, AND it arrived early. Perfection!"
"I am a graphic designer so i am very particular about paper, printing & design. The gold foil swayed me to take a chance this year by ordering holiday cards and not making my own as i have for the past 15 years. I was so pleasantly surprised that the cards were even nicer than i imagined. The shiny foil, heavy paper, rich colors and interesting type made me proud to send these out. I know how expensive it is to print with foil, and am impressed that tiny prints have figured out a way to offer this in small quantities. To make me even more pleased, i got my cards a week earlier than estimated."

UNK wins at Chadron
CHADRON Jon Henderson scored 30 points and three other Lopers joined him in double figures as the University of Nebraska-Kearney turned back Chadron State 96-75 in the Eagles' home opener Monday evening at Armstrong Gymnasium.
While Henderson stole the show he scored 18 in the first half and finished 12 of 18 from the field in the game he received plenty of help from his teammates. Mike Dentlinger scored 24 points and had a game-high 10 rebounds, Pierre Newton had 14 points and Drew Sankey added 10 points and seven boards.
Although the Eagles weren't able to make the plays down the stretch UNK went on a 13-4 scoring run in the second half once CSC cut the Lopers' lead to 72-65 with nine minutes to play there were plenty of positives. Five players scored in double figures and five others found the scoring column.
Zac Bargen finished with a team-high 15 points, Grant Stone scored 14 off the bench, including four 3-pointers, Justyn Anderson had 11 points, and Chris Taylor and Kendrick Holliman each scored 10. Holliman also had a game-high five assists.
Both teams shot over 50 percent from the field but the Lopers made eight more free throws than the Eagles and they also outscored them on second chance points, 10-0.
Chadron State will play at Division I Colorado State University Thursday. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

Scanning, fixing, and reporting security issues with Security Blanket
Trusted's Security Blanket lets you analyze security compliance in a few easy steps.
I don't know about you, but I spend entirely more time locking down my servers and making sure they stay locked down than I would like. At least once in the past (that I know of), one of my servers has been compromised. I failed to a) upgrade WordPress and b) ensure that my server was locked down so local access didn't allow an attacker to escalate privileges easily. The problem was not that I didn't know how to lock down my servers or have the time to do so; I just had other things to do, and trying to keep up with everything you need to do to secure a server and keep it secured is not my idea of fun.

A Sanctuary for the Soul: Honoring a Cancer Victim
Fighting to Live
In one of Bridget Lamont's favorite photos, her son Jeff -- sporting a crown that sits low over his ears and wearing a tuxedo that doesn't quite fit -- presides over the 2005 homecoming festivities at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, in Springfield, Illinois. The 19-year-old and his queen, radiant in white satin, look like the quintessential high school homecoming couple.
But maternal pride isn't the only reason Bridget cherishes this photo. For her it's an emblem of her son's courage and stoicism. Beneath the tuxedo Jeff weighs just 90 pounds, and under the crown all that's left is just a wisp or two of his flaming red hair. Three years earlier doctors had diagnosed alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that almost exclusively strikes children and adolescents. They gave Jeff only months to live. Yet after his initial treatment he was in remission for more than two years. Then in late 2004 the cancer came back. Still, Jeff is smiling.
"If I had to describe him in one word, it would be fearless," says Bridget. Wiry and athletic, Jeff loved the outdoors -- nowhere more than in the unspoiled wilderness of Christmas Cove, on the northern tip of Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula. From the time he was a child, Jeff's family -- which also includes his father, Tom, and his older brother Mike, now 28 -- vacationed there, often joined by Jeff's uncle, Jeff Later, who co-owned their beach cottage.
As Jeff's illness progressed, Christmas Cove provided a tranquil place to recuperate from the ravages of aggressive radiation and chemotherapy as well as a much-needed sanctuary from the constant focus on his illness. Here, where few people knew about his condition, Jeff was able to forget about doctors and needles and blood counts. Hiding his thin frame and hair loss with loose clothes and a hat, he could simply be himself.
By the summer of 2007 Jeff was down to 76 pounds. Between ever more frequent hospitalizations, he insisted on staying active, sometimes using a walker when he went out with friends. His doctors had exhausted their treatment options, and the family recognized that Jeff was dying. "It was always in the back of my mind that when the time came we needed to do something to remember him by," says Later.

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New registration data for the clean diesel and hybrid automobile and pickup trucks including breakdowns of the Top 10 states for total registrations and fastest growth trends will be the focus of a Wednesday online press conference by the Diesel Technology Forum.
Time: Wednesday, June 4th, 2 pm-2:45 pm Eastern Daylight Time/11 am-11:45 am Pacific
Registration: https://dieselforumevents.webex.com/dieselforumevents/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=669828103
(This event is open to the media and public but it is recommended you register early for your reservation.)
The press conference will highlight the national registration information compiled by R.L. Polk and Company and for all types of clean diesel and hybrid passenger vehicles – cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and vans – in all 50 states and the District of Columbia from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013. The Forum will also provide other insights and commentary on growing interest in clean diesel technology in the marketplace and as a key technology for the future.
"Clean diesels and hybrids are clearly the two highest-mileage vehicles on the market and they are both showing impressive growth in the U.S. as consumers seek more fuel efficient vehicles," said Allen Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Diesel Technology Forum.
"And while both clean diesels and hybrids comprise smaller percentages of the overall U.S. vehicle market compared to many other nations, their national registrations are growing in virtually every state in the nation.
"While we were most interested in the clean diesel data, the new R.L. Polk and Company data also shows some interesting trends in which states are having the most overall diesel and hybrid growth, and which states have the highest number of these high-mileage vehicles."
Topics that will be covered in the press conference include:
The Diesel Technology Forum is a non-profit national organization dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of diesel engines, fuel and technology. Forum members are leaders in clean diesel technology and represent the three key elements of the modern clean-diesel system: advanced engines, vehicles and equipment, cleaner diesel fuel and emissions-control systems.

CATEGORIES Drama, Thrillers, Universal, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips, Movies, CinematicalCurious to see if Ryan Phillippe can hold his own against old-school pros like Laura Linney and Chris Cooper? Well, I don't seem to detest Phillippe as much as most movie fans do, and based on the new trailer for an upcoming espionage thriller called Breach, I'm beginning to think that Mr. Reese Witherspoon could soon be coming into his own, respect-wise.
Or maybe he's awful. I've no idea.
I do know that Breach is the first film from Billy Ray since he directed 2003's Shattered Glass, although he did (co-)write the screenplays for Suspect Zero and Flightplan in the interim. Based on true events, Breach tells the story of, no not a Caesarian section, but of the biggest security breach in United States history. Phillippe is the young agent tasked with spying on the treasonous Chris Cooper; Ms. Linney plays a high-level security chief of some sort. Also on board are Gary Cole, Dennis Haysbert, Bruce Davison and Kathleen Quinlan. The cast alone feels worthy of eight bucks.
Universal has Breach scheduled for a February 16 release date.

By Barry Wilner, AP Football Writer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Big brother Peyton showed little bro' Eli who rules America's first family of quarterbacks.
Manning Matchup II was no contest.
Four-time league MVP Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a surprisingly easy 38-14 victory over his kid brother and the New York Giants. He didn't need to do all that much Sunday night thanks to the way Indy's running backs, offensive line and defense gouged the Giants (1-1).
One week after a distressingly lopsided loss at Houston, the Colts (1-1) looked like defending AFC champions. They made Eli Manning and his team resemble amateurs, forcing two quarterback fumbles that gave Indianapolis 14 points.
Four years ago, in the first meeting of sibling NFL quarterbacks, Peyton's Colts won 26-21 at the Meadowlands. Five months later, he guided Indy to the Super Bowl title.
A year later, it was Eli matching that championship, leading the Giants to one of the NFL's biggest upsets over undefeated New England.
The brothers even have grabbed the spotlight away from the field with a series of commercials, including one in which Eli locks Peyton in a closet before heading to the stadium. Maybe he should have used that strategy Sunday night.
The Mannings chatted during pregame warmups and met at midfield for the coin toss, twice shaking hands, but otherwise they could have been total strangers. There were no signs of Peyton wincing on the sideline - or father Archie cringing in the stands - while Eli was being pummeled.
Peyton declined to be interviewed by national TV after the game. Eli was hugged by both parents after the loss.
Indy was unrelenting on the pass rush, unnerving the younger Manning and forcing a fumble on Robert Mathis' sack late in the second quarter. That's not the kind of break you give the Colts, and big brother threw for 43 yards on a TD drive that ended with Austin Collie's 3-yard reception with 9 seconds left in the half. That made it 24-0.
Eli nearly was sacked on the first play of the second half, but then showed some resilience by taking New York 87 yards for its first score. He hit Mario Manningham for a 54-yard touchdown against a blitz.
But Dwight Freeney sacked the New York QB on the next series, and Fili Moala rolled into the end zone with the loose ball. Giants coach Tom Coughlin just shook his head in frustration while Eli Manning dejectedly trudged to the sideline.
Freeney and Mathis each had two sacks.
''We go into every game thinking this is what it is going to be,'' Freeney said. ''I think as a player you have to think that way, that we are going to shut these guys down. It doesn't happen every week, obviously ... it's not surprising.''
It clearly wasn't just Peyton over Eli that decided this ballyhooed Week 2 game, however. Indy's ability to run over the Giants was just as crucial.
Joseph Addai, who gained 44 yards at Houston, nearly doubled that in the first half with 80 yards rushing. Donald Brown added 44, and by game's end they accumulated 156.
They keyed an 80-yard drive to open things, getting 33 yards on seven carries, with Brown surging through a huge hole on the left side for his 7-yard TD.
Indianapolis never backed off as Addai and Brown alternated dominating New York's defense, particularly on a 98-yard march capped by Peyton Manning's perfect lob throw to Dallas Clark. It was their 43rd TD connection, tying for second all time with Sonny Jurgensen and Jerry Smith for quarterback to tight end scores.
The Colts were weak against the run last week, surrendering 257 yards overall, 231 to Houston's Arian Foster. The Giants have a far more vaunted ground game than the Texans, yet managed only 120, much of it in garbage time.
''Whenever we can have the game go our way, when we score a lot of points, the way our defense is designed, when we get those leads, we make them one dimensional, and it is playing into our hands,'' Freeney said. ''That's playing into my game and I can kind of make some things happen.''
All the while, Eli Manning was looking like a lost younger brother, and he wasn't going to get bailed out by Peyton. He went 3 for 8 for 17 yards in the first half, which included a deep pass into triple coverage that was intercepted by Jerraud Powers. Although he hit the long pass to Manningham in the third quarter and a 31-yard TD to Hakeem Nicks with 1:46 to go, Eli wound up 13 for 24 for 161 yards.
Peyton finished his winning night with a 10-yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne with 9:11 remaining. He was 20 for 26 for 255 yards, making him 2-0 in showdowns with Eli.

No barbecue is complete without hotdogs and hamburgers. Well hi everybody, I'm Forbes Riley in the kitchen with Family Fun. Now these guys, well they may look like the real thing but the secret is no grilling necessary.
For the hotdog you'll need one circus peanut, one caramel square, yellow icing, a cut up green gum drop, baked cupcake, and white icing and nonpareils. For the hamburger you'll need two vanilla wafer cookies, one small chocolate covered cookie, yellow and red icing in tubes, green tinted coconut, slices of green gum drop, orange Juice or lemonade concentrate, some sesame seeds, one baked cupcake, white icing, and multicolored nonpareils. For the hot dog bun, cut a wedge in the circus peanut then roll the caramel into a hot dog shape. Place the hot dog in the bun and squirt on a squiggly line of yellow icing, then garnish with green gum drop relish. Frost the cupcake with white icing, sprinkle on nonpareils, and place your hot dog on top. To build the hamburger, start with an upside down vanilla wafer, add a dab of icing to attach the chocolate covered cookie, then add a squirt of yellow icing and a squirt of red icing, a sprinkle of tinted coconut, and two thin slices of green gum drops, if you like pickles. Brush the second vanilla wafer cookie with juice concentrate and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then place it on top of your hamburger. Frost the cupcake with white icing, sprinkle on the nonpareils, and place the burger on top. These tasty treats will be top picks at your next picnic.

4.4/5 rDev +5.8%
Pours a really attractive peach tinged, golden color. Very radiant with some cloudiness in the liquid. About half an inch worth of white foam, that disspates to a ring not long after pouring. Quite a few fine streams of bubbles can be seen trailing the sides of the glass.
This beer smells straight up fruity. Extremely aromatic with sweet notes of grapefruit and a smorgasbord of tropical flavors.
The first taste was fairly suspenseful. As it washed over my palate, it led into a sweetness which made me think it would be malty, but no, it just explodes into juicy, fruity flavors of pungent grapefruit, mango, and passion fruit. All of this is followed up by a really pleasant, mellow bitterness. Absolutely phenomenal.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, and the carbonation is a bit on the higher side which really complements the flavor profile of this beer well, in my opinion. Finishes somewhat dry and leaves me wanting more.
This is a really big beer, yet it's extremely drinkable. I've had no problem quaffing this bomber over the course of an hour. I'm glad I picked up another bottle for a later time, because this is an extremely good beer that will leave any hop head wanting more.

Always on the lookout for new DIPA's,I grabbed this.Poured into a small tulip glass a clear rich bronze, with a great one finger sticky white head that left multiple broken rings of lace behind as it settled into a creamy mass.Aromas were suprisingly muted,the hop profile of pine resin and citrus showed thru but really were light.Big resiny hop flavors with a bit of caramel/biscuit dominate the flavor profile,I wouldnt say its brutally bitter like the label says but it is quite bitter.This is good but not great,to me it doesnt quite pack enough punch.

Appearance - This is a thick, rich, beautiful brownish-orangish in color with an easy, staying head that left pits and lacing galore. I can see little floaties in the beer as well. It may seem strange to call something a "perfect brown-orange" but the color of this beer is striking.
Smell - This is more of a classic PacNW-style nose full of big hop aromas that drown out whatever malt base may be in there. The pine especially is stiff but not so much that it runs roughshod over the wonderful, deep orange notes. The resin and citrus smells are in perfect harmony here.
Taste - Ah, the malt does come out significantly at the taste and actually manages to hold its own. The pine steps back a bit as pine is prone to do and the citrus loses any sense of sweetness and brings on a wonderful balance to the malt. The malt itself is not overly sweet like some efforts at the style but does have some nice caramel character to it.
Mouthfeel - This is almost full-bodied in the mouth with some nice, sharp bitterness that's not overdone and some decent carbonation for the style. It is very slick and mouth-watering.
Drinkability - This is one of the better DIPAs that I've had and that is saying a lot. Avery can be known for overdoing a style but here they did this just right.

Chilled 220z. bomber poured into a snifter
Two fingered egg shell foam atop a hazy burnt orange color. The head recedes to a
thin white cap with a spotty lace left behind.
Sweet citrus hop nose that is subtle and not a nose tingler; the alcohol is dominated by thehops though the 8.5%abv is definately there. The 93 IBUs are nice, leaving my mouth wateringafter the first few sips but my taste buds remained intact.Rich and creamy; full bodied goodness; the consistency reminiscent of a soda with cream added; smooth and thickish with the carbonation providing contrast. Even hop flavor throughout leaving the pallet wanting more not tapping out in submission.The finish is dry and more sweet than bitter, all in all pleasant. The refill from the bottom half pours slightly darker, a bit auburn with the same beautiful head and nearly no transluscence.
Great Drink

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #34 (Nov 2009):
Pale orangey color with a mild haze, solid crowning of head from a stiff pour. The aroma is so hoppy that citric and mint hold the nose hard. Smooth medium body drops a deep smoothness, malt stays strong with bready and biscuit flavor to start ... then the hops come. Bitterness rides that fine line between aggressive and simply being on top as it lets the malt flavors through yet slowly pummels the palate with a carefully gauged bitterness of citric peel and wildflowers. Sure, there is a touch of heat in the throat from the alcohol, even some ripe tropical fruit, but it does not rise above the hops. Orange peel, peaches and passion fruit on the palate. Finishes bitter with a breath of alcohol and mint from the hops.
My oh my, Avery has found the true path of hop brilliance.

From a bomber, poured into a snifter. Amber color with a thick, off-white head. Citrus and floral aroma. Very strong grapefruit taste, a little bit of pine resin. The taste really lingered. A nice, in your face, IPA. Very well done, didn't notice the alcohol.

Bomber poured into my 21st Amendment chalice.
Nice body small bubbles nice effervescence. Nice lightly golden one inch head retains well.
The aroma is very pronounced from the get-go filling the nose with pine.
Taste is a bitter, piny hop bomb that doesn't come up short on flavor.
DuganA fills its niche beautifully. Not flowery like some not balanced like some. The focus is clearly hops.
Great job Avery - looking forward to your next offering.
On the neck of the bottle:
Whatever that means. I can guess that it was bottled on the 34th day of 2011 which makes it pretty fresh.

22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a huge creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet melon and peppery hops with some caramel malts and resin in the background.
The flavor is some sweet fruit that is quickly dominated by a huge resiny almost tarry hop bitterness that lasts in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with good carbonation - slightly spritzy.
Overall, a monster one-dimensional hop bomb. I prefer a little more balance in the hop flavors (more fruits or pine), and don't care for the tarry dominating bitterness as much. The bitterness just sits on the tongue - I feel like the Keystone commercial guy.

Very clear amber and golden nice head that. Laces well
Very nice pine and citrus hop aroma slight malt very nice
The taste is bitter upfront and throughout the carbonation starts upfront and dissipates I would like this more if it wasn't just bitter hop flavor there isn't a full hop profile i've come to like in my ipas.

on tap a few weeks ago at the Ginger Man in NYC and reviewed from notes. Poured darker almond amber, the head was on the minor side from the pour I was delivered. A thin film was quikly formed, that left ample fine and sticky lace. Herbal hoppy nose. I found this one to be a quite pleasant and easy dringing DIPA, but on the balanced/tame side of the road for my tastes. A bit of a suprise from usually quite agressive Avery. Lacked the true hop crunch that I loook for in a DIPA.

4.25/5 rDev +2.2%
I think this is the best new DIPA to come out this year. Now that I got that out of the way, I will tell you why I think so.
Pour was a nice light orange color and the head was substantial enough to hang around for a while. Aroma is intriguing mix of resinous pine and more pineapple that grapefruit citrus. There is some alchohol in the nose as well. Taste is well balanced, but not too sweet like many DIPA's that try to overcompensate for the high hop flavor with too much malt sweetness. Finish is quite dry and enjoyable, not at all cloying or muddled. There is some alchohol in the aftertaste, but it is not overwhelming or off-putting. Drinkability is great. I polished off a growler without a wing man and I am feeling no ill effects. Avery says they will brew this beer whenever they feel the need and I hope that is more fequently than once or twice a year because I think it is a great DIPA at a very fair price. Highly reccomended!

Pours golden orange with a white head. Ton of hops in the aroma, lots of resiny pine. The flavor is more hops, with piney resin as well as a good amount of bitterness. Not a ton of malt flavor. You also get some citrus and grapefruit but the pine is the main hop flavor. Very drinkable for a hoppy DIPA.

Tap @ Pizza Port C-bad. Poured hazy orange-gold with a short white head. Good lacing. Heavy pine and herb in the nose with lesser white grapefruit. Nice carbonation with a crisp feel. Sharper, bitter flavor with sour grapefruit and sticky resin. Kind of veggie, but in a good way. More of the English IPA bitterness, almost as if Avery was going to do a Majaraja with English leanings. Well balanced with a long finish. I hope this one finds a permanent place in the Avery lineup.

Yoga for Skiers
Few sports marry the elements of speed and grace better than skiing. Combine the adrenaline rush of hurtling down a slope with the agility of a beautifully carved turn and the sport's broad appeal is evident. Far removed from the brisk, high-energy land of skiing lies its perfect foil�yoga. Where skiing is fast and risky, yoga is slow and thoughtful. The two sports' philosophies diverge, yet the physical demands of skiing call out for the counter movements of yoga.
Perhaps the biggest benefit yoga can bring to your skiing is injury prevention. Skiing asks a lot from the body�cold muscles are called upon to perform a variety of functions, while dexterity, balance, and high levels of concentration are also a must. For those skiers who hit the slopes sporadically, these athletic requisites are often too tough, and they can end up injured and disillusioned with the sport. By observing your body's imbalances, brought on by the particular movements of skiing, and employing a yoga program to bring your body into a state of equilibrium, you can avert injury and participate in the sport for years to come.
Downhill Racer
In any sport, and skiing is no exception, if you overcompensate in one area, you weaken another, thus preventing yourself from being able to perform at your peak. Since skiing is a lower-body intensive sport, imbalance most obviously occurs in an overdeveloped lower body and a comparatively weaker upper body, according to Prisca Boris, Yoga for Athletes instructor in Vail, Colorado, and former pro-mogul competitor. In her work with skiers, Boris uses yoga poses and variations on the push-up to build upper body strength.
It's those lower body imbalances, however, that directly affect a skier's performance, and sometimes lead to injury. For example, strong quadriceps and opposing tighter, weaker hamstrings can place too many demands on the knee joint. Knee joints (and the lower half of the body in general) take a lot of abuse as they actively absorb terrain on a downhill run. In a skiing stance, though the bent-knee position with the hips forward helps cushion the shock of impact, the actual power comes from the gluteus, quadriceps, and back muscles. If these muscles are weak, the knees end up taking the pressure that the legs and glutes aren't bearing. Eventually, the joint fatigues. Shortened inner thigh muscles can also strain the knee joint by limiting the leg's range of motion. To avoid knee injury a skier should strive to keep the musculature around the knees and calf muscles supple and stretched so there's less pull on the joint, and yoga can help here. Boris instructs her yogi skiers to work to lengthen all four sides of their upper legs�inner and outer thigh, hamstring, and quadriceps�to ensure minimal strain on surrounding joints.
Together, the hips and knees create the driving force behind skiing, or more precisely, the steering mechanism. "Use of these joints, with some help from the ankle, is always directed toward the goal of trying to put pressure on the inside edge of the downhill ski in order to effect a turn," Boris says. It's technically referred to as angulation�the creation of angles with your body using feet, ankles, knees, hips, spine, or a combination of these in order to push and move the ski.

South Hutchinson Island looks much as it did in the 1800's when pioneers first discovered the island. Near perfect weather conditions have made it a Mecca for serious golfers, tennis buffs and fishermen. Boating is popular, and you can travel up and down the Intra coastal Waterway and visit the town of Stuart, known as the Sailfish Capital of the World. Or, you might want to consider taking the delightful 135-mile trip down the South Fork of the St. Lucie River to the St. Lucie Canal, on to Lake Okeechobee and then on to Ft. Myers. Bathtub Beach, located on South Hutchinson Island has calm waters protected by coral reefs, and visitors can explore the region on dune and river trails. For snorkeling, there are three popular artificial reefs off Hutchinson Island that provide excellent scenery for both novice and experienced divers. Accommodations, shopping and restaurants are plentiful here, yet South Hutchinson Island remains one of the last places in Florida where nature prevails.

GREENBACK (WATE) – The Blount County Sheriff's Office arrested five people for meth-related charges in two separate cases Tuesday night.
Investigators found six separate "one pot" method meth labs at a residence on Gregory Road in Greenback Tuesday afternoon.
Deanna Brunetta Evans, 32; Christine Erin Whitehead, 28; and Joseph McCall Kemp, 36, were taken into custody. The Department of Children's Services took custody of a 4-month-old baby who was inside the home.
The suspects were decontaminated at the scene, and the house was quarantined.
In a separate case, investigators arrested two people Monday evening in the parking lot of a local business. The pair told officials they were purchasing pseudoephedrine to resell for the purpose of manufacturing methamphetamine.

ECAC Names Steve Bamford Interim Commissioner and Ben Layton Assistant Commissioner
CENTERVILLE, Mass. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference Administrative Committee announced today that former Interim Commissioner Steve Bamford will once again assume that role, and Ben Layton has been promoted to Assistant Commissioner for Programs and Services.
Bamford has been working as an administrative overseer at the ECAC since October, 2012. He started at the ECAC in 2000 as an Assistant Commissioner and held that post until 2006. After the departure of then Commissioner Phil Buttafuoco, Bamford was named Interim Commissioner. In 2007 Rudy Keeling was hired as Commissioner, and Bamford was named Senior Associate Commissioner. He held that position on a full-time basis through 2009 and as a part-time employee until his retirement in 2011.
Layton, previously the ECAC Director of Sport Administration, is in his fifth year with the Conference. In his Director role he oversaw the operational logistics and event management of more than 65 championships in 17 men's and women's sports for the organization's Division I, II and III member institutions. In his new position, Layton will assume responsibility for the ECAC Division I and Division II Lacrosse Leagues, the ECAC Division III Ice Hockey Leagues, the Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League, and ECAC men's and women's rowing initiatives. His new responsibilities will begin immediately.
The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) is the nation's largest athletic conference and only multidivisional conference, with approximately 300 Division I, II and III colleges and universities from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Colorado. Established in 1938 with 58 charter members, the ECAC has since emerged as the nationwide leader in service. The Asa S. Bushnell Center, named after inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell, serves as the main office for the ECAC. It is located in Centerville, Mass., on Cape Cod.

In an era when publics are seeking to understand how immigration is reshaping populations and local communities, and the effect that newcomers are having on economic, educational, and labor systems, it is imperative to have access to credible and authoritative data. The U.S. and international data-rich research offered here, and data resources offered through our Data Hub, empower users to learn more about the role of immigration in today's world. Browse by region, by type of research, and more. And visit MPI's Data Hub for data tools, maps, and more.
Interested in information on annual naturalization trends, illegal immigration, the geographical distribution of immigrants in the United States, current and historical shares, and a host of other topics? MPI's Jeanne Batalova and Alicia Lee have assembled the latest, most interesting data on immigrants and immigration into one easy-to-use resource.
Once known for large-scale emigration, Greece has become the main point of entry for unauthorized migrants heading toward Europe. The country must now — amid economic turmoil — grapple with issues related to its highly porous borders, mounting asylum applications, and inadequate immigrant-detention system.
There were more than 46 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2010, the highest number in nearly three decades. MPI's Alicia Lee and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations.
Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
In a highly selective way, flows of internal migrants within Taiwan have responded quickly to political, economic, and social changes throughout the nation's history, and have spurred development of the country's industrial, services, and technological industries. In the past 20 years, however, international migration has reemerged in relevance and now includes the immigration of foreign workers and wives and the emigration of some of Taiwan's best and brightest.
This panel discussion provided a brief overview of Mexican immigrants in the U.S., the role and function of Mexican consular officials in aiding this population, and reviewed the structure and foci of the Mexican government's Institute of Mexicans Abroad.
The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
Mexico's efforts to help its migrants succeed in the U.S. offer a new example of an immigrant-sending country looking to improve its emigrants' lives and connect with its diaspora. This report examines Mexico's approach to its migrants and details the activities of the government's attempt to map the expanding range of its educational, health care, financial, and civic programs.
The size and characteristics of immigration to the UK have changed significantly. Immigrants are more numerous, more mobile, and more diverse than ever before. This report looks at the differing immigration patterns.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
The discussion guide offers a brief demographic and statistical profile of the immigrant student population in the United States, with comparison points drawn to Germany, sketches the broad policy implications of the demographic data, and provides a set of policy and practice issues in immigrant education and integration to facilitate a Roundtable inquiry in two areas: early childhood care and education, and secondary education.
This report explores the fundamental question of how successful integration and immigrant social mobility is in Europe and North America. The authors examine the economic performance and rate of labor market assimilation for first and second generation immigrants, and outline what policymakers can do to promote the social mobility and integration of immigrants and their children.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.

NEW ORLEANS — Tom Benson can buy many things for the Hornets in their quest for improvement, but he can't purchase the few things they needed Wednesday night against the Lakers.
Energy and execution in the third quarter.
Once again, New Orleans' professional basketball team failed to convert on its first-half success with the owner sitting courtside.
The Hornets led a less-than-perfect Lakers team at halftime and appeared ready to capitalize on a positive step forward they took with a Monday night win.
Instead, they played the first eight or so minute of the third quarter like a team ready to go home. In the end, they did, 103-87 losers.
This one isn't on the age of the team.
It's on the players and it's on the coaches.
At least they know it.
"Just because we're up at halftime doesn't mean the game is already won," forward Lance Thomas said. "We came out loose and they ran it right up our throats. They killed us in the beginning part of the third quarter. The beginning of the third quarter is one of the most important parts of the game, the tone setter."
New Orleans played this game early in the season, taking leads or at least being within striking distance at halftime only to fall apart as the third quarter gets going.
Within the locker room, there's an acknowledgement that they're coming out without energy and without fire.
That's on the players.
"It's just something we've got to consciously make an effort at," Hornets forward Jason Smith said. "We've got to bring the effort for four quarters. We can't have it for the first two, then have a lax quarter, then try to make up the difference. That's all on us."
But it's more than just the players. Coach Monty Williams is a well-respected young leader, one who many believe has great upside.
Yet, these mounting losses are as much on him as they are on the players.
Whether he's making halftime adjustments that his players aren't understanding or not making any tweaks at all, he has to figure out how to motivate his players to put forth the needed fire and the expected energy.
That's what a coach does and it's what Williams is failing to do.
"When you haven't been together a long time, it's hard to know what you're supposed to do together outside of just trying to run the system we have in place," Williams said.
Certainly there's truth to the fact that this team hasn't been together a long time. When you watch the Spurs play, it's obvious the main players know what the others are thinking.
Then again, a coach should know when – and how – to make adjustments to the system so that the players won't have to go outside of it.
Then again, the players aren't blaming Williams.
"We're making adjustments, but we as players have to go out there and do it," Thomas said. "We have to have some gamesmanship and know that we can't come out soft, we can't turn the ball over, we can't give them easy buckets, we can't give them transition dunks uncontested."
There are 65 games left. This lesson, and recognition, has come early enough to make a difference.
The only question that remains is has it been learned.

Chael Sonnen doesn't want to fight Lyoto Machida based on boring style
By Brendhan Conlan on February 24, 2013
UFC light heavyweight Lyoto Machida did what Mauricio Rua and Fedor Emelianenko could not in recent attempts by beating Dan Henderson last night at UFC 157. Of course, he barely scraped by and did so by playing it safe throughout the bulk of the bout, picking his strikes and then backing away. Though Machida's victory came in a fair fashion, it drew a lot of criticism from fans expecting to see an entertaining effort and certainly hurt his hold on his status as the division's top contender.
If Machida does indeed get a shot at the strap, as he's been promised, he'll face one of two men – champion Jon Jones or UFC 159 challenger Chael Sonnen. Jones has spoken out against Machida as an opponent before based on the Brazilian's occasionally boring approach to action and now Sonnen is doing the same, ranting about the matter on Fuel TV's post-event coverage of Saturday night's show.
"I'm in on the business. I'm in on the pay-per-view business, and so is Jon Jones. Neither of us want to fight Machida because he can't draw flies and that's the bottom line," said Sonnen, directing the rest of his response towards the former title-holder. "You got booed (at UFC 157). You got booed in your last fight. I can't sell out an arena with you. I can't sell pay-per-views with you. I'm not giving you the shot."
Jones' most recent comments on Machida came to ESPN last year before a proposed pairing, telling the outlet, "He was my lowest pay-per-view draw of last year. No one wants to see me fight Lyoto Machida. I don't want to fight Lyoto again. Lyoto is a high risk low reward. He's a tough fighter, but no one wants to buy that fight."
Style aside, Machida's success is hard to argue against. He holds an overall record of 19-3 with wins over Ryan Bader, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, and Rashad Evans.
Mad_Hatter_XX says:
Have to agree. Who really wants to see Lyoto try to avoid contact while throwing 2 punches per minute?
His style is not fan friendly even if it is effective to garner boring UD wins.
When his opponents go out of the way to chase him down and engage he loses more than he wins. Trying to play his game causes boring fights.
Agree or Disagree: 3 6
AlphaOmega says:
He got booed KOing Bader? Strange I would of remembered that..then again I'm biased, Machida is my favorite fighter. However, Chael's feelings are pointless, Machida just beat the #1 contender, if the UFC wants to salvage any legitimacy with their rankings, they have to honor that if you beat #1 contender, you are now the #1 contender and therefore fight for the title next. And as I said in the Aldo article, it's not up to the champ to choose who they fight.
Agree or Disagree: 4 1
hindsightufuk says:
if fans were expecting anything other than what they got i guess they dont watch too many Machida/Hendo fights. Dancing vs Plodding, thats what was expected and thats what we got.
utmost respect for both those guys and Hendo is one of my all time hero's from any sport, but that was a god awful match up that was only gonna end one way.
I dont buy Machida being the no 1 contender either. Henderson was no 1 well over a year ago, and Machida barely scraped by him. Bader isnt even top 10. That doesnt make a no 1 contender for me.
Winner of Gus vs Moussassi should fight him, then we'd have a decent number one.
Agree or Disagree: 6 0
Richard Stabone says:
More of Chael just liking to hear himself talk. Once he loses to Jones he'll be on a 2-fight losing streak (that could easily be 3 going back to the Bisping fight). And so as an unranked LHW on a losing streak, no one will be asking for a Chael-Machida fight. So I guess Chael can rest easy there.
As for the fight this past weekend, as hindsight mentioned it played out pretty much as expected. I figured it would be a fight that could use 5 rounds, but unfortunately the women's fight (which no one would have predicted would need 5 rounds) got the main card billing instead. Gotta milk Ronda and make that money. As a tradeoff, the #1 contender fight in the LHW division was cut short and the majority of fans came away disappointed with the outcome. There's no guarantee the championship rounds would have done much to change the course of the fight, but I would have liked to see it play out.
I won't be surprised at all if Dana goes back on his word (again) and gives the next title shot to the Gustafsson-Mousasi winner. I think the UFC will wait it out before making any official announcements, to see how that fight goes. Dana might even tease the possibility of the winner getting the next shot, to help hype the fight. As Fitch recently pointed out, these days the UFC just waits to see how things are shaping up and whichever option is going to make the most money, that's gonna be the play. Lyoto is currently the leader in the clubhouse for the next shot at Jones, but an impressive/exciting victory from Alex or Gegard could vault them to the top.

hindsightufuk says:
if ever a fight was screaming for 5 rounds it was Hendo vs Machida.
All number one contender fights should be 5 rounds.
its even getting to the stage where any fight involving title implications with top 5 fighters need to be 5 rounds

Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Fully agree with Hindsight in that Machida is in no way the #1 contender. Now that Hendo is technically out, Gustafsson is the only guy in the division with any claim to the title. At this point, even Lil Nog is closer than Machida. (That's not a bad fight rankings wise if they'd ever do it.) I used to be a big fan of Machida (back when everyone hated him) but ever since he got KO'd by Shogun, he's seems more "evasive" and less "tactical", if that makes any sense. Like Rashad, he's gotten gun shy.
As for Chael, he's saying Machida doesn't get to fight him cause he's saying he's gonna beat Jones. If he loses to Jones, he won't have to worry about Machida.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Richard Stabone says:
FWIW, prior to the Hendo fight Lyoto's previous 3 fights hadn't gone to the judges' scorecards. And if this past weekend's fight had been a 5-round affair, as it should have been, maybe it wouldn't have reached the judges either. Yes he uses a very methodical approach, often reluctant to engage while he picks his spots, but it's not like he's Fitch or Guida out there. It's been over 5 years since Machida had consecutive fights go to the judges.
Back to Chael, I get that he's implying he'll be holding the belt when he's brushing away Lyoto… but in reality, Chael is soon to be on a losing streak (and still without a UFC LHW victory in his career), while Lyoto remains a legitimate top contender in the division. Anyway, not a big deal, but just more of Chael's yammering where the words will ultimately ring hollow.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
AlphaOmega says:
So MCM you think it shouldn't be that if you beat the #1 contender you are then the #1 contender? Because if not that screws the rankings up even more
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
AlphaOmega says:
Ignoring who was fighting, that's how it should work. Machida was ranked #2 by UFC's rankings, Hendo was #1…#2 beats #1 #2 then becomes #1 right?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
No, I don't think that should be how it works. I didn't have Machida as #2 based on the fact that, until Saturday night, he hadn't beaten a real top 10er since losing the belt. He's clearly top 10 and arguably top 5 but not #2. Hendo reached his #1 contender spot by being on a 4 fight win streak over good competition (albeit only one top 10er in his weight class) and frankly because there was no one else. Machida is only on a 2 fight win streak and just lost to the current champ. I think you have to take in several factors when determining top rankings and single wins are only a portion of it.
Answer this question….Was an unranked Matt Serra rightly or wrongly ranked as the #1 WW in the world after a single win over GSP?
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
I get what your saying, and in truth, I don't consider going the distance to mean a fighter isn't trying to finish. The Rampage fight is a perfect example. I thought Machida won the fight, but if you look at the first two rounds, he wasn't engaging Rampage like he did in the third and appeared to be a avoiding confrontation as opposed to being elusive in confrontation. If you can, look at the difference between Lyoto's fights with Rampage and Tito. Tito may have accused Lyoto or running but it was more baiting and forcing Tito to expose himself first. In the Rampage fight, he actually looks to be running for large parts of it.
Machida and Rashad are both winners. But every fighter adjusts after their first loss. It just so happened that each of these two had their first losses after long runs on the world stage, so we as fans, get notice their changes and adjustments more.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Angry Mike says:
Let's take a step back and consider what Chael said. He doesn't want to fight Machida because Chael (and Jones) get a piece of the ppv's, and Machida isn't exciting. I'm sure there are other fighters who get a per centage of the buys as an incentive. But I can remember some of the discussion about fighter compensation and fairness on this site years ago when that didn't happen, or at least it wasn't common knowledge. So now UFC gives incentives based upon actual performances–if you have an exciting style, you sell more ppv's and make more money. And that makes fighters more competitive and the sport more exciting. That's a good business model, imo.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Richard Stabone says:
Regarding the #1 contender debate, it's a little tricky.
First of all, it should have been Hendo. Dan should have gotten the next crack at Jones, period. Yeah he got injured, and should have informed the UFC sooner than he did (playing a role in the UFC 151 fiasco), but the UFC didn't need to go so far as to "punish" Dan and Lyoto while using it as an excuse to slip this TUF ratings grab maneuver by us. That whole thing was and continues to be complete horse crap, with ongoing (negative) implications on the sport.
I'm sure some people will say, "Well Dan lost to Machida so I guess he wasn't such a slam dunk #1 contender after all." But that's not the way it works. At the top of the divisions, things are generally pretty bunched up where any of the top guys can beat each other. So when a guy earns his title shot, give him his damn shot. It will always be somewhat subjective, but lately the UFC doesn't even attempt to have any type of consistency or fairness with how it puts together title fights. They dick around with money-grab fights like Jones vs. Chael and GSP vs. Diaz, and in the meantime guys like Hendo and Hendricks get screwed.
And if Hendricks loses a tough fight with Condit, then what? Who fights GSP next? A rematch with Condit? Do we get to hear Anderson Silva and Dana White talk out of their assholes about a GSP-Silva superfight all over again? These shortsighted sell out maneuvers are already starting to come back to bite the UFC in the ass.
Back on topic… Lyoto or Gustafsson? If a guy is on his way up the rankings, and beats the #1 contender (particularly in a match labeled as a #1 contender fight by the UFC president) then it's pretty cut & dried — winner should get the next shot. But the rankings get tricky when we're talking about a guy who's already gotten his title shot. Losing to the champ shouldn't cause a fighter to tumble too far in the rankings, but at the same time he should have to work his way back up, while giving the other contenders their opportunities… keeping the line moving.
So here's what I'd propose…
If Gustafsson wins, he gets the next shot. Lyoto faces Glover Teixeira (after he beats Bader in May) for the #1 contender spot.
If Mousasis wins, Lyoto gets the next shot. Mousasi faces Glover Teixeira for the #1 contender spot.

It's moot anyway. Sonnen's not getting past Jones, so who gives a crap what he thinks?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Richard Stabone says:
I'm all for post-fight bonuses, to motivate & reward guys who deliver in terms of an exciting KO, submission or overall fight. But to use the *excitement* factor or who's best at being loud & obnoxious to help sell fights as some sort of significant criteria in determining title fights… that's completely different. That's where the UFC starts to sacrifice legitimacy for (short-term) revenue.
And allow me to rant about Chael Sonnen just a bit more, the guy prompting this discussion by calling out Machida for not being an exciting fighter. The only reason Chael is "exciting" is that he latched onto Anderson Silva's teet and hasn't shut up since. Chael's 2nd UFC run started in 2009, and he earned his initial shot at Silva with a submission loss to Maia followed by 3 decision victories where he utilized his grind it out style of wrestling. I was in attendance when he beat Nate, and there was no buzz in the arena for Chael Sonnen in the arena that night. But so began his obsession with Silva and the antics that would follow, and to his credit he backed it up with a very good performance in their first fight (albeit under dubious circumstances)… and the man hasn't let up with the nasally verbal tirades ever since.
Chael Sonnen – Mr. Excitement. God bless him.

AlphaOmega says:
Teixeira trains at Blackhouse as well as other camps, him and Machida won't fight. And this is where rankings get confusing, because every person has their own ranking system, most likely biased partly too, but also every media outlet has their own, and now the UFC has their own, so who's is trust worthy?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Angry Mike says:
Is Sonnen an exciting fighter? Look at his ppv buys. If people think he's entertaining, his fights will sell. If people get tired of his schtick, his fights won't sell. The answer is in the numbers. Apparently the answer is yes, at least for now.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Chael didn't say anything about being an "exciting" fighter. He said Machida doesn't put butts in seats. And for all the negative things that can be said about Chael, you can't say he doesn't put butts in seats. Do I think that quality should have anything to do with getting a title shot? Not really, but I understand it.
As for Chaels initial run at the UFC title he came into the UFC after beating the #1 or #2 ranked MW on the planet. He started calling out Silva then. Just nobody paid him much attention.
He then lost to a top 10 fighter that fought for the MW title just two fights later.
After that, he fought a man that had just cracked the top 10 and after beating him he started calling out Silva again. This time some people started paying attention.
So he was matched up with a top 3-5 fighter that alot of fans were saying should have been fighting for the title. After beating him, he called out Silva again, now people started to paying real attention.
He then fought a top 3 fighter who's only reason for not fighting for the title was that Silva refused to fight him again. After that fight, he went full on on Silva, and rightfully so. He had just gone 4-1 over the best competition the MW division had.
To cap it off, he goes on to beat the greatest fighter alive for 23 minutes like he stole something only to lose it all at the last second. You can't script excitement like that.
Chaels initial run through the MW division was THE most exciting thing to happen in the history of the UFC's 185lb weight class. So yeah, he gets to say a few things about excitement in the sport.
Besides, even if by some miracle he beats Jones, Gustafsson is next inline and Chael has already verbally accepted a fight with Belfort.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I understand that Teixeria trains at Blackhouse too, but I thought his main training camp is under Hackleman in San Louis Obispo. Kinda like GSP at Jacksons or Tristar.
And yes, all rankings are subjective. That's why I don't believe in the 2>1=1 theory. I think the only thing we can all agree on is that if you're coming off a loss, you shouldn't get a title fight.
Chael, Diaz, Edgar, Randy, Hendo, B.J., Eilers, etc, etc, etc,

No coming off a loss shouldn't get you a title shot, I'm all for the whole min of 2 fight win streak before you're even mentioned as a possible choice for a title shot

Lyoto went up aginst Jones on short notice. I will give the guy a chance the 2nd time around with a full camp in a 5 round fight. As for his style and being boring it takes 2 in a fight. He is following his gameplan do something about it. He dosent want to get hit and is picking his shots who blames him. I say let him have his shot and give Gustafsson at least one more fight before you send him in too Jones. Im sold on Gustafsson but I think he just needs to polish up everything for the big fight.

They gave these Artifacts, Weapons, Armor, and even Allies (in the form of magical animal statues that come to life) to the Heroes of the land. Now the Relics of Legend are scattered, but great power will come to those who gather them.
The Relics of Legend expansion pack adds new Market cards - both items and allies - to the Runebound basic game. There are no new rules to learn, simply shuffle the cards into the market deck and begin playing.
This expansion includes 30 new market cards.

The circle is the heart of magic. A circle binds and controls magic energies. It creates a loop of power and brings a spell to eternity. It divides the inside and the outside, creates a unity and a barrier. Circles call, circles bind, circles ward, circles face inward and outward and symbolize the fundamental truth of magic: magic goes in cycles. What one sends out loops back and what harm one wreaks is returned threefold.
- Symbols and Heart, Daniella Dun
In the fight for glory and power, only one type of magic is more powerful than the legendary Runestones, and that is ritual magic. This expansion introduces a powerful new type of Item, rituals, which require you to roll and expend certain terrain symbols before they can be used. The trade-off: they are far more powerful and versatile than other Items of the same cost.
This expansion includes 30 new market deck cards.

"What are those wild men doing here, Captain?" The Mayor mops his brow with an expensive silk handkerchief and casts his coldest glare down at the men in the square - hard men, dirty men, men with feathers in their hair and hides on their backs.
"They just ... showed up, sir. Said that we needed them."
"Preposterous," barks the Mayor, sweeping down the stairs.
"That's what I said, sir, but then I saw the monster that the tall one killed..."
The Walkers of the Wild expansion pack introduces a collection of allies that dwell in the secret and quiet places of the world, as well as many tricks of their trade. These cards can be seamlessly added to any Runebound game or adventure, giving the players more options and more adventure!
This expansion includes 30 new market deck cards.
