The treetops are traditionally the playground of winged beasts and tiny, furry climbers. So it's not unnatural to do a double take upon seeing humans flying from tree to tree?at heights of up to 50 feet?with all the grace of a forest native. Today, 15 treehouses peek through the leaves of the sprawling wooded area, serving as resting points and educational outposts for visitors soaring on ziplines. The Beanstalk Journey at Catawba Meadows came to fruition to fulfill its builders? goal of providing fun and physical activities for families to enjoy. Now the park is open year-round, supplying adrenaline-pumping recreation to all who seek it.
Like veins coursing through the forest, swinging rope bridges and covered rope tunnels run through the foliage alongside ziplines of varying difficulty levels, enabling visitors to soar from tree to tree and finally assuage any regrets about not being born with hollow bird bones. For an extra challenge, the 32-foot beanstalk climbing tower and a massive multidirectional climbing web put upper- and lower-body strength to the test, and educational stations at each treehouse challenge minds with lessons on nature and local history. In addition to the standard attractions, outings can also be catered to visitors with special needs.
Combining the park's adventure opportunities with educational pursuits, the staff occasionally runs an adventure-photography workshop, nighttime zipline tours, and Birds of Prey Journeys. Continuing the mission to foster outdoor education and physical activity, the beanstalk's building team continuously erects new courses at other locales, ensuring that all are family friendly and none require hand braking.
Like green spokes, the fairways of Mimosa Hills Golf and Country Club spread radially from a gleaming white clubhouse?the course's stately and welcoming hub. The layout is the work of the famous Donald Ross, one of the few course architects to achieve something approaching household-name status. His magnum opus, Pinehurst No. 2, had already been around for a good 30 years before he started in on Mimosa Hills in 1929. The architect was drawn to the site's natural layout as well as the Blue Ridge Mountains skyline that rises up dramatically above the treetops. Much like Pinehurst, the course has survived the test of time: the North Carolina Golf Panel?an association of industry professionals and critics?placed the course 69th on its 2009 list of the top 100 courses in the state.
Horses may spend most of their day standing, but at Mimosa Hills Farm, they rarely just stand around. Crosby, the farm's owner, keeps the steeds constantly occupied, making them available casual trail rides across the farm as well as regular riding and driving lessons. But just as with a ten-gallon hat with a built-in spigot never loses its usefulness, the mounts' duties extend beyond the saddle. They also help teach husbandry lessons during educational farm days and provide the natural materials for making horsehair jewelry—a popular activity at Mimosa Hills. Perhaps most importantly, the animals serve as vital companions during the regional shows in which Crosby regularly participates.
At the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park surrounds a 5-acre lake with a constellation of camping stations and activity centers. The Garcia family graciously plays host to guests who careen down the twists and turns of the park's 300-foot waterslide, play mini golf, or cast lines into the lake to catch waiting fish. Along with opportunities to connect with nature and name every tree after their fathers, the Garcias furnish visitors with space to set up tents, pop-ups, and RVs, or stay in the ground's own rough-hewn cabins. They also provide showers and laundry facilities to help campers maintain ties with civilization. The family becomes especially excited when pointing guests in the direction of North Carolina's Chimney Rock or Grandfather Mountain for hikes and breathless sightseeing adventures.
Each of YMCA of Western North Carolina's five branches and 19 childcare sites remains true to its lasting mission of physical and social enrichment for men, women, and kids of all ages. Staff members uphold the YMCA's core values of honesty, caring, responsibility, and respect as they invest in their community's children and strengthen family bonds critically weakened by overzealous games of Monopoly. They pump up adult fitness regimens with aquatic fitness and boot-camp classes, basketball courts, and personal-training sessions. They've also filled their fitness centers with free weights, cardio equipment, and weight machines. When they're not helping adults trim down waistlines during cardio-dance and aerobics classes, staff members are getting back in touch with their inner children. They stimulate imagination, mental development, and growth as they lead more than 200 programs, including children's day camps, after-school programs, and dance classes.
Marion Lake Club's parcel of fertile land borders the mighty Lake James to the north and Pisgah National Forest to the east, forming a scenic cradle for the 18-hole golf course. In fact, part of the course fills a peninsula jutting out into the lake itself, creating the potential for a water-logged round if golfers spray their golf shots off the tee or find themselves at the helm a feral golf cart. Meanwhile, Linville Gorge and Shortoff Mountain hover on the horizon, giving players better aiming points as they corral their golf balls over the Bermuda fairways and bent grass greens that line the rolling terrain.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Total length of 6,174 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 70.4 from the back tees * Course slope of 126 from the back tees * Five sets of tees per hole * View the scorecard

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Medical marijuana is now legal in 20 states, including Michigan, but not Ohio.
A woman known as the 'Martha Stewart of marijuana' thinks everybody should have access to pot for therapeutic reasons.
"I absolutely believe that I have been healed by the power of this plant," said Cheryl Shuman of Beverly Hills, CA, a cancer survivor.
At one point, Shuman was close to death. Doctors even told her to write up a living will for her children. Shuman turned to medical marijuana and today the businesswoman uses it on a daily basis.
"I was planning on using it as a better quality of life and within 30 days I was off 27 pharmaceuticals, after 60 days I was off an intravenous morphine pump and able to shower by myself."
Shuman is now a leading advocate for the medical marijuana reform movement. An Ohio native, she helped launch Kush in 2010, a monthly cannabis lifestyle magazine.
She's appearing in Toledo this weekend on behalf of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
"We're looking out for patients' rights as well as industrial hemp," Shuman explained. "And we're looking at it to help patients and allow them to have legal access to their medicine."
She's also a proponent of legalized marijuana. Pot has been decriminalized in Washington state and Colorado. Shuman says legalizing it across the country will create jobs and help the economy.
"I think when we can go out and show as role models and examples of people who are using it responsibly and having a better quality of life, I think that's what's going to help change people's minds," she said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Chris Sale won again, pitching seven easy innings with support from a three-run homer by Adam Dunn, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 12-5 Wednesday.
The American League's leader in earned run average, Sale (9-2) struck out five and walked one with six hits and two runs allowed.
Dunn had three hits and four RBIs along with his 24th home run of the season, and newly-acquired Kevin Youkilis went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs. Alex Rios also had three hits and a homer, and the White Sox collected a season-high 21 hits.
Nick Blackburn (4-5) watched his ERA balloon to 7.74 after five rough innings for the Twins. He gave up nine hits and six runs.
Dunn ended a 0 for 24 skid with his homer, and the White Sox posted a double-digit score for the first time in 16 games.

Connor Mitch, one of the top quarterback recruits in the country, has committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Out of Raleigh, N.C.. Wakefield High School, Mitch claims offers from Alabama, Auburn, N.C. State, Rutgers, South Florida, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and West Virginia. Mitch is rated a three-star recruit by some services and a four-star by others.
Mitch is a prototypical pocket passer at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. He isn't immobile, but his legs won't be the focus of any offensive attack in the SEC. Mitch is very polished, which could help him earn early playing time at the next level. He has a very good arm and a clean, quick release. I don't know how Mitch reads and analyzes coverage because I have only seen highlights and not game tape, and the highlights don't contain many deep and intermediate throws from which I can form an opinion.

How next-generation capabilities are delivering winning results in the world of personalization
Today's customers are dissatisfied with the relevance of communications, while retailers are still struggling to show demonstrably improved campaign performance. Is Big Data to blame? Sure, the increased information flow can improve marketing ROI, but it also presents the rather significant challenge of how to build the capabilities to make sense of all that data.
Fortunately, with the power of emerging technologies, neither customers nor marketers have to feel helplessly resigned to the current situation. Today, better analytical approaches and improved technologies are easing the strategic journey toward true one-to-one personalization, helping marketers move past obstacles and seize opportunities for generating sustainable growth and earning customer loyalty.
Download this whitepaper to learn more about an approach that's more profitable than traditional campaign-based marketing.

It may be hard to put a price on unwavering loyalty, but when that loyalty translates to sales, we marketers have gotten pretty good at it.
Smart marketers know, for instance, that quantifying the value of loyalty requires a balance of art and science. We have warehouses of highly detailed data that provide hard evidence of consumer behavior and preferences. Yet we need to rely on nuanced, human interpretations to conclude what that data might indicate when combined with outside variables.
The results can be brilliant. Some major brands have evolved their loyalty programs into sophisticated platforms from which they can manage a variety of simultaneous promotions and events. When done well, these efforts translate to emotional loyalty – when the consumer commits to one brand over all others regardless of price or convenience.
It is a topic I look forward to hashing out with my loyalty peers in September at the 12th Annual COLLOQUY Loyalty Summit. I plan to discuss not only the tactical strategies behind the art and science of loyalty marketing, but also a preview of work we're doing to quantify the impact of the drivers of customer value and the factors that influence customer experience.
And I won't be alone. This year, COLLOQUY has lined up a cross-section of industry heavy hitters seldom seen under one roof, from Kellogg's to MasterCard to JCPenny. To be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Summit is an exclusive event with limited attendance so guests can freely share ideas with others from across industries. I hope you are among them.
Among the featured sessions this year:
• Keynote presentations by retail expert Kevin Graff, who explores today's most promising retail trends and how to use them to grow share of wallet and encourage repeat customers; and Mike Walsh, a consumer futurist and author of the book "Futuretainment" who will discuss the mindset change required in organizations today on how to use data across the enterprise.
• Award-winning marketing expert Joseph Pine, author of the books "The Experience Economy"and" Infinite Possibility," will talk about today's "experience economy" and how to generate demand with an experience so engaging & authentic that customers can't help but pay attention.
• Sessions with key marketing executives from IKEA, Caesars, MasterCard, Orbitz.com, Sephora, Kellogg's, Sears, JCPenney, and others, who will provide an insider's view of their own challenges and achievements in loyalty and customer experience.
• A "Gamification of Loyalty" workshop headed by leading gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, author of "The Gamification Revolution", and COLLOQUY research editor Jeff Berry.
And, there is also some fun to be had! A kick-off golf scramble on opening day, Sept. 29. (Count me in!), receptions, entertainment and more.

See you in Scottsdale!
Role models are tricky things. Pick the right one, and you have a way to benchmark progress and set goals. Pick the wrong one, and you set yourself up for disappointment and failure.
In the world of loyalty, we often look to the travel industry as the gold standard for program design because that's where loyalty programs originated, and the programs are so ingrained into the workings of their respective companies. But retailers, in particular, are setting themselves up for failure by looking in this direction for inspiration. There are just too many differences between industries.
Travel and retail face different market forces. There has been increasing consolidation within the travel industry, with many small players being acquired. In contrast, the retail environment is becoming increasingly competitive as local retailers combat online shopping and an environment in which consumers can easily price compare and essentially buy anything from anywhere at any time. With differing market forces in play, the approach to how the industries treat their customers shouldn't be the same, nor will consumer expectations be the same.
Travel value propositions are decreasing, while retailers' are strengthening. In the travel industry, for instance, Marriott rearranged its reward portfolio and moved 36% of its hotels into a higher point category while making only 1% less expensive. Program changes to the Hilton HHonors program mean that it will take nearly twice as many points to earn a free night at some of the chain's top-tier hotels. Both Delta Airlines and United Airlines are now rewarding for how much customers spend rather than how far they fly, and both programs have new higher mileage requirements for premium reward travel. In the retail industry, on the other hand, Nordstrom has reduced the number of points needed to be promoted to the next tier by half, while Sephora re-launched its Beauty Insider program and added a reward level for customers who spend $1,000 a year, offering free shipping, early access to new products, and VIP event invites. This difference between making rewards harder to get in travel and easier to access in retail are being driven by extremely different overall trends.
Aspirational customers have different motivations. Travel industry customers who are looking to move up to a higher tier tend to be more motivated by soft benefits than those in other industries. The 2014 COLLOQUY Research Study on Consumer Attitudes Toward Membership Status in Loyalty Programs found that upgrades to products and services (77%), higher level of service (72%) and sharing perks with friends (65%) were the most important soft rewards in the travel industry. Retail customers looking to advance a tier were less hungry for those benefits (each registered about 10% lower), and instead were more heavily drawn to monetary or cash rewards (84%).
In sum, retailers need to consider what their customers find motivating rather than following the lead of another industry. Looking outside of an immediate competitor set for inspiration can help keep a program fresh and differentiated, but retailers have to make sure that their customers really will be motivated by what's being offered. The best way to understand that is data — from your customers, not an entirely different industry.
More on motivators that change customer behavior can be found here.

Kinsley's Krew March for babies 2013 by Kinsley's Krew - over 1 year ago
"We were just about to start our 3 mile walk when this picture was taken. Our shirts were designed to support my daughter who was born at 29weeks weighing only 2lbs 9ozs. The march for babies walk took place at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania on may 5th 2013(where she was born). We ended up raising 2,470.00$$. Can't wait to do it again next year!! My experience with custom ink was nothing less then outstanding and I will continue to due business in the upcoming years."

Gov. Robert Bentley announced last month that U.S. Housing and Urban Development has allocated an additional $120 million in disaster recovery funding.
More than half will go directly to the cities of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham as well as Jefferson County.
The rest — $49,157,000 — will be distributed by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs in the form of Community Development Block Grants.
In December, $1.4 million of a $15.7 million allocation from HUD was awarded to Cordova to rebuild a grocery store.
The neighboring communities of Hackleburg and Phil Campbell received $4.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Mayor Drew Gilbert told members of the city's Long Term Recovery Committee last week that Cordova wants a larger piece of the current funding pie.
"Last time, we asked for exactly what we needed and when we go to the bid award, they were getting a lot more than us. We're going to be a little greedier this time," Gilbert said.
The CDBG grants will help with housing, business and infrastructure needs that have not been met through other forms of private or public assistance.
Gilbert told LTRC that the city will likely be pursuing assistance with a new City Hall, fire department and police station.
Construction of a library and realigning Main Street are also possibilities for projects.
Gilbert said he expects Cordova to have an advantage over some other communities in upcoming discussions with ADECA because plans exist for most of the projects officials will be bringing to the table.
The Cordova City Council approved an 80-page Long Term Community Recovery Plan more than a year ago.
The city has also received extensive assistance from Auburn University and some professional design firms on a range of conceptual drawings.
"We're not starting from scratch. We've got all of this to put in front of them, and we can show the results in two years," Gilbert said.

This is the 28th in a series of scouting reports on key players who are expected to become free agents March 13, unless they are re-signed or franchised before then.
News: Of all the Rams' 20 unrestricted free agents, WR Brandon Lloyd, the team's leading receiver in 2011 despite playing in only 11 games, would appear to be the most desirable keeper. But the big question is just how great Lloyd's desire is to possibly follow in the footsteps of the departed Josh McDaniels. Despite doing a very suspect job in his one season as the Rams' offensive coordinator, McDaniels has managed to land in the same capacity with the Patriots — a team he previously had coordinated to record-breaking heights. One good thing McDaniels succeeded in doing the past couple seasons is to bring out the best in the 31-year-old Lloyd, who had a breakout season in Denver under McDaniels' direction in 2010, when he led the NFL with 1,448 receiving yards. The Patriots could have a real interest in reuniting McDaniels and Lloyd, since both of their top two wideouts (Wes Welker and Deion Branch) are free agents. A deal could be complicated, however, by the prickly relationship that Lloyd's agent (Tom Condon of CAA) has with the Pats. The Rams' previous regime had seen enough of Lloyd to probably make a concerted effort to re-sign him. It remains to be seen, however, just how highly new head coach Jeff Fisher and new GM Les Snead think of the nine-year veteran.
Notes: After being obtained from the Broncos on Oct. 17 for what turned out to be a fifth-round draft pick, Lloyd went on to lead the Rams with 51 receptions and 683 receiving yards and tie RB Steve Jackson for the team lead in touchdowns with five. For the entire 2011 season, he had 70 catches for 966 yards (13.8 yards per catch) and five TDs. In his Rams debut vs. Dallas, Lloyd made an immediate impact, catching six passes for 74 yards. When playing in McDaniels' offense in 2010, the nine-year veteran posted career highs in catches (77), receiving yards (1,448) and TD catches (11) and was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. He ranks third in the NFL among active players with 1,938 receiving yards since the start of the 2010 season, and his 84.3 yards per game during that span also ranks third in the league.
Positives: Lloyd's best qualities are his tremendous body control, which enables him to often make circus catches, and his sure hands. Lloyd credits McDaniels for enabling him to branch out as a receiver, and he's now capable of filling multiple every-down roles instead of just running deep routes. He has become a much more confident, polished receiver who runs crisp, precise routes and has all the makings of a quality No. 2 wideout in some team's offense.
Negatives: Longtime observers of Lloyd claim the reason he makes so many highlight-reel catches, often in heavy traffic, is that he does not have enough speed to gain separation on a regular basis. In addition, before hooking up with McDaniels, Lloyd never was considered anything more than a journeyman receiver who displayed occasional glittering flashes in his stints with three different teams (San Francisco, Washington and Chicago).
Risk factor: Although it's unknown whether Lloyd ever will be anything other than very ordinary without McDaniels pulling his strings, the Rams could do worse than to re-sign Lloyd with the intention of teaming him up with a couple of quality wideout additions via the draft and free agency, as well as solid slot receiver Danny Amendola, who will be back after missing practically the entire 2011 season with a dislocated elbow. Pretty quickly, the Rams could have the makings of a vastly improved WR corps — provided that Lloyd would be willing to stay put.

Good one though. Made me laugh.
is the lens cap off?LOL! Really! The poor guy is having a bad day. Don't pick on him.
1) Confirmation tone focus in manual or auto mode. When a signal is try to open the aperture and maximum use sunlight outdoors or infrared light external flash. 2) Clean the contact lens with the body, flip through the manual-auto switch on the lens a few times, rotate the dial aperture in manual mode a few times, may have dust on any contacts. 3) Turn off the camera, remove the battery, hold the body without the adapter, and then insert the battery, turn the camera (reboot). 4) Try a different lens.(Google english)OKO-SAN has a point. If it is electrical contact related...
It's an interesting problem. I'd recommend simply sending it to Canon for repair.
During a location shoot about a week and a half ago, my 50/1.8 started malfunctioning... again, it was a focus issue. It was 'missing' focus on every shot. Luckily my client (and subject) is a photography teacher and knew that gear sometimes failed. I changed to my 24-70mm/2.8 and got the shots I needed, in perfect focus, so everything was fine in that regard.
I won't be repairing the 50mm. I bought it during a trip to the US in 2004 (from B&H), and it has served me well. Now, if only Sigma would release a new 50mm Art Series lens, I'd be a happy chappy.

Update: Apparently it's tough not being allowed to run for President. Wyclef Jean was admitted to the hospital "suffering from stress and fatigue based on the grueling eight weeks he's had." Of course, eight weeks is a long time; but not nearly as long as the 260 weeks that comprise a 5-year Presidential term in Haiti or the 520 weeks he would serve if re-elected; or is it comparable to the stress precipitated by the grueling task of rebuilding a country where thousands lack basic shelter. Rest up Wyclef, you'll need it for your next self-promoting gimmick.

(RNN) - The experts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration took a break from their usual hurricane-season duties to provide you with this timely tidbit - there is no such thing as a mermaid.
NOAA, which provides valuable information and warnings regarding hurricanes and tropical storms, posted a statement on its website proclaiming to the world that "no evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found."
But there are plenty of colorful legends floating around the world.
"In the ancient Far East, mermaids were the wives of powerful sea-dragons, and served as trusted messengers between their spouses and the emperors on land," according to NOAA.
Tsunami sirens have taken over these duties in the modern world.
Speaking of another sort of siren, Homer's classic epic poem The Odyssey did almost as good a job of glorifying nonexistent sea creatures as Fifty Shades of Grey did of glorifying, well, you know.
Thanks to the Discovery Channel, too, for doing an (almost) thoroughly convincing job of proving the existence of these mythical creatures in its TV film Mermaids: The Body Found.
So, who do we believe?
Discovery claims the "mockumentary" was intended purely for entertainment purposes. But undoubtedly, the point was to get people thinking.
"As with all good science fiction, there's a grain of science and truth to it," said Discovery contributor Benjamin Radford. "The so-called 'aquatic ape' idea it touted (suggesting our evolutionary ancestors may have lived in marine environments) is a real hypothesis, but has nothing to do with mermaids."
Radford went on to acknowledge that NOAA has a duty to report on anything marine-related that garners large public interest, whether real or fictional.
Interestingly, no one talks nearly as much about mermen, the male counterparts of mermaids. For a myriad reasons, mermaids rule the sea and the fantasies of people everywhere.
That just figures. The ocean is the one place female creatures unequivocally get more attention than males - and no one wants to acknowledge they exist.

A great route if you can get by the first 3 bolts "all of which need to be replaced" then you can protect the rest of the route. I placed 2 med. nuts and had doubles of mid-size Camalots to #2. Save a #2 for the final move to the anchor. This route may seem harder for it's rating while on lead. Have a good time face climbing and doing liebacks on smeary footholds. The anchor has 1 good bolt and 2 (replacable) old bolts. Rappel with 2 ropes or 1 70m.
i agree the bolts need to be replaced, the first 3 are star drives and at the anchor you have 2 star drives and a SMC hanger on a 3/8 if i remember correctly. You can make it down with a single 60m rope just watch the ends. Great route in a great location.
Bolts are pretty bad - Old, 1/4 inch, rusty, Star Drive. Too bad - good line in nice area
Replaced all lead bolts with new SS 3/8 hardware. Top anchor has one Star Dryvin left for historical fun, the rest is as modern and safe as you could ever wish for. This is still a technical, heady lead-the corner is thin and takes effort to protect well, but the route's safe to fall off now.
Definitely a heady lead. The gear at the beginning of the corner is a little finicky. 60m rope puts you down easily. Thanks for the bolts Killis.

NEW ORLEANS — Missouri's focus isn't on the SEC right now.
Nor should it be, not with the possibility of winning the Big 12 tournament and greater glory within grasp right now.
But if it was keeping its eye on Thursday's SEC tournament first round, the Tigers were likely smiling.
Of the eight teams that plied their trade on the opening day, Missouri would defeat each one of them. And they'd likely do it without dropping a game.
Please. Between poor shooting and a lack of inside defense, they'd barely keep up with the Tigers of a different stripe.
Come on. Between hitting photographers with errant passes and running up and down the floor like a dog chasing a ball, there was nothing Georgia showed that would lead one to believe it would have a chance against Missouri on a regular basis.
Ditto for Ole Miss and South Carolina.
Trent Johnson's team might be somewhat scrappy, but they don't have the depth and athleticism to keep up with Missouri nightly.
Alabama and Mississippi State certainly didn't look like they could keep up for more than a half, either.
The Crimson Tide, as of now, can't shoot from outside of five feet and Mississippi State doesn't have the discipline to stay patient against far inferior teams let alone superior opponents.
Missouri will be a good addition to the SEC for basketball depth.
It'll give the league two legitimate teams, including Kentucky, and two nearly legitimate ones in Vanderbilt and Florida.
But more than anything, Thursday showed just how far past the glory days of SEC basketball we are.
There was a time where you could bank on more than three teams making into the NCAA tournament and you could certainly expect at least three to make it into the Sweet 16.
You can't count on that anymore and definitely not this year.
The SEC is a football conference. That we all know.
But basketball also used to be good.
Hopefully Missouri can bring that back.
If not, what we all witnessed Thursday will only get worse and that's something nobody wants.

As part of a series of Twitter messages imploring people to support gun control, Yoko Ono has posted a photograph of what appears to be the blood-stained glasses her late husband, John Lennon , was wearing when he was shot to death. The image, which may be the same one that comprises the cover of Ono's 1981 album, Season of Glass , shows the glasses resting on a windowsill in the apartment John and Yoko shared in the Dakota building in New York City.
Attached to the pic is a message that reads, "Over 1,057,000 people have been shot and killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980." The note was one of several Ono tweeted on Wednesday, which marked her and Lennon's 44th wedding anniversary.
Among the other messages Ono tweeted were ones that say, "The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him," and "31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone."
Ono also posted a link to an audio interview with Lennon and her that was taped in Amsterdam on their wedding day, March 20, 1969. During the conversation, the couple discusses their support of world peace and anti-violence.

BATESVILLE — Three Batesville residents have been arrested, one for armed robbery and two others for theft, according to police Chief Stan Holt.
On Oct. 10, Batesville police officers arrested Dewell Zach Kirby, 27, for allegedly robbing Save On Tobacco.
About 12:40 p.m. Feb. 10, 2009, police received a 911 call from the store clerk reporting that the suspect ordered him to the ground while holding a sharp object and stole money.
"Recent developments in the case led investigators to focus in on Kirby," the chief said.
Ripley County Prosecutor Ric Hertel filed armed robbery, a Class B felony, and theft, a Class D felony, charges against Kirby. He is being held at the Ripley County Jail.
On Aug. 16, the Batesville Police Department received a report of a car stolen from a residence on West Pearl Street. It was recovered Aug. 21 in Cincinnati, where it was found abandoned along the road.
After an investigation, the case was submitted to Hertel, who filed charges against Quincy Collier, 18, and Miranda Foley, 22. Collier was charged with auto theft, a Class D felony, and Foley is charged with conspiracy to commit theft, a Class D felony.
Both were arrested Oct. 10 and are being held in the Ripley County Jail.

State Sen. Tony Avella, D-Bayside, says he is renewing his push for the state legislature to pass a bill that would require the city to change its method for taxing gasoline and diesel.
Earlier this year, the senator introduced legislation that would require the city to compute its sales and compensating use tax for gas and diesel fuels at a flat Qucents-per-gallon rate rather than at the existing percentage-per-gallon rate.
New Yorkers are currently taxed eight cents per gallon for retail gas sales. Avella says this flat rate remains constant, despite fluctuations in gas prices.
"With gas prices constantly fluctuating, it is important that motorists have protections in place at the pump," the senator said. "The city needs to institute a flat gas tax because not only are consumers being gouged by the base prices of oil, but they are also being gouged by the city of New York in its percentage rate collection."
He said the city is receiving "undeserved windfall tax revenue" from commuters.
The city charges consumers a percentage of the price per gallon of gas on top of the state's sales tax.
Avella has also introduced a bill that would require gas stations to advertise the cost differential for people who pay with credit and debit cards on all billboards and signs, rather than just at the pump.
State law prohibits gas station owners from charging consumers a surcharge for using a credit card, but they are not forbidden from providing a discount to drivers paying in cash.
"Even while gas prices continue to rise, gas stations are engaging in deceptive advertising by listing the lower cash prices on their street-view signage without disclosing that the price was only for cash transactions, resulting in motorists being lured to the pumps only to find out that if they choose to use a credit card, they will be charged a higher price," Avella said.
Do you think the city overcharges in gas taxes? Let us know in the comments.

Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Fantastic light quality through the white diffused glass.

the 8 3/4 pendant was too small for even a small room. also, the connection between globe and cieling mount were wires that were unsightly. i never mounted it and send it back.

We totally love how the Lumi-Mochi look in our dining room. Dealing with Y Lighting was painless, even pleasant! The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the assembly/installation instructions from the [Italian] manufacturer are pretty close to useless [at best].
Overall, would do business with Y Lighting again.

Very nice glasswork. Just the right size for me to set as a pair over our kitchen island. Feels more expensive than the price.

I love the shape of this lamp; not round but more like a symmetrical dumpling. It's very ephemeral, floating in the air without clear definition, especially if it's against a white wall. I think it's best in a tall, contemporary space, in multiples.
By:Joy O. , Homeowner (Oakland, CA)
This fixture is all I hoped for. It's simple organic shape maintains visual interest without interfering with other elements in the room. Provided enough light to illuminate the space in which it was hung. Service was very prompt.

Missing boy sparks huge search effort
6:00am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News
ABOUT 200 people searched for an eight-year-old boy missing boy in Brightlingsea The community rallied round after the news spread on social networking sites on Saturday at about 7.30pm.
Dozens of volunteers met at Brightlingsea fire station where they were given maps of areas to search.
The boy was found safe and well within a couple of hours.
The incident has prompted one of the volunteers involved in the search to set up a new system if anyone goes missing.
A man, who runs a Facebook page called Brightlingsea Watch, who didn't want to be named, said: "It was overwhelming to see howmany people came out.
"When we got out the front and saw so many people were there it was breathtaking.
"Brightlingsea is known for its community spirit. We want to keep that as strong as it has been in the past.
"People didn't want to sit at home and hear all this going on, they wanted to get out and help."
The man has set up a list of 40 people who are happy to be contacted if there is an emergency.
He has also set up an online texting system to allow him to contact people immediately in future.
Residents have suggested keeping torches and high-visibility jackets at the fire station.
People have come forward offering money to provide equipment.
The Brightlingsea Watch founder was inspired to set up a group after pensioner George Kuti went missing in the town last June.
He added: "It is all about mobilising people as quickly as possible.
"We were lucky on Saturday because people were on their computers. What if it is on a Tuesday night at 2am?"
"We were held up on Saturday because the police needed everyone's details before we went on the search.
"If we have details on a database, we can just tick people off a list and hand it to police, which will enable us to get out there quicker."

The Sumner County man accused of shooting his wife to death earlier this year appeared in court Friday, and the victim's family spoke out for the first time.
Joseph Cundiff faces a first-degree murder charge after he was accused of shooting his wife, Ashlee Witham Cundiff, at their Hendersonville home the night of Feb. 13.
Officers found Ashlee Cundiff with a single gunshot wound, and she died six days later.
Friday, Joseph Cundiff's attorney argued to move the trial. He also tried to convince the judge to throw out key statements his client told investigators.
In the hours after the shooting, Joseph Cundiff gave inconsistent versions of what happened, though he maintains it was all an accident.
Hearing the details, Ashlee Cundiff's family sat in court and cried.
"Still having a hard time," said the woman's aunt, Missy Whitley. "Holidays are coming up, so it's really difficult for us right now."
Since the shooting, they launched a foundation in the woman's memory. Money raised supports the couple's two children and survivors of domestic violence.
"It's a huge problem. We had talked to her about leaving, and she just wanted her family, you know, that's the most important thing to her was having the family together," Whitley said.
Ultimately, a jury will likely decide whether it was a crime or an accident. Either way, as tough as it may be, Ashlee Cundiff's family promises to watch it unfold.
"I have to be here for her. I just have to be here for her," Whitely said.
Joseph Cundiff remains in the Sumner County Jail. He returns to court next month. If ultimately convicted, he faces the possibility of life in prison without parole.

Wichita City Council member O'Donnell to face state ethics charge over e-mails
Wichita City Council member Michael O'Donnell will appear March 21 before the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission to face a charge that he misused his city computer to raise money for a longtime friend in the Kansas Legislature.
O'Donnell called it "a silly mistake" and said he expects to be fined by the commission for using his city computer to solicit financial sponsorship for an Oct. 30, 2011, meet-and-greet for Sen. Garrett Love, R-Montezuma.
State law prohibits any officer or employee of a state or municipality from using public equipment to advocate for a candidate for state or local office, said Carol Williams, the executive director of the state ethics panel.
"We've had cases where candidates have used a fax machine or a computer to develop their brochures, a fax to fax their ads to a newspaper, forwarding e-mails advocating for a candidate," she said. "It doesn't happen often, to be sure, and it doesn't happen in a non-election year."
The incident is potentially a violation of the Kansas Campaign Finance Act, punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for the first violation.
The notice of hearing and O'Donnell agree that 39 e-mails, most sent on Oct. 4, 2011, are the crux of the issue.
O'Donnell said he was first contacted by the ethics panel in November about the allegation, and told "I'd hear back from them."
But no further notification occurred until last week, when O'Donnell said ethics officials told him they had received the issue again. Earlier this month, council members confirmed to The Eagle that a state probe of O'Donnell's e-mail account was under way.
O'Donnell calls the issue a "political hit job" and blames his colleagues on the council bench, claiming it has been revived in retaliation for his opposition to the Ambassador Hotel guest tax vote on Feb. 28.
But Williams said the investigation has remained active since November and has been drawn out because of holiday meeting schedules.
O'Donnell said the complaint is the result of a political vendetta against the conservative positions he has taken from the council bench. He specifically blamed Mayor Carl Brewer.
"This is just Carl trying to minimize a conservative voice," O'Donnell said. "His liberal agenda is not going forward unanimously."
Brewer declined to elaborate on the investigation, at the request of City Attorney Gary Rebensdorf.
"The entire thing doesn't make any sense," Brewer said. "Why would he actually point the finger at me? It's way out of line.
"I don't think that much about Michael. He does bring some good things to the table."
O'Donnell said he doesn't expect a large fine, perhaps as small as $100. Williams said fines have ranged from nothing to $400 for about a dozen similar incidents in the commission's history. But she said fines are at the discretion of commission members, and could be affected by the four new members added in late 2011.
"The commission makes this determination and members of that body change routinely," Williams said. "Technically, you can be fined up to $5,000 for the first violation. When you have new members, their ideas could certainly be different."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Voters in 41 New Jersey school districts will go to the polls Tuesday to set budgets and choose school board members in an election day that's quickly becoming a relic of the past.
Until last year, school elections were held in most of the state's school districts on the second Tuesday in April.
But most have switched to November votes under a new state law. Districts with November elections do not give voters a direct say on the budgets so long as property tax hikes do not exceed 2%.
Thirty-nine districts are voting on base budgets, including four with second questions seeking permission to exceed the tax-hike cap.
Two districts are considering building upgrades.
Poll opening times vary, but they close at 9 p.m.

The Falcons are far from satisfied with their overall defensive performance. They have given up 28 points or more three times already this season after having allowed 28 or more only twice during their run to an NFC South title last season. Yet, one encouraging sign for the team has been the play of Sean Weatherspoon. The Falcons drafted him 19th overall in 2010, and he started from Day One. But injuries knocked his rookie season off course, and we saw only flashes of his potential to be a high-energy disrupter at outside linebacker. He is showing better awareness and looks more comfortable this season. He has also been highly productive. Weatherspoon is among the league leaders in tackles with 53 — already 11 more than he had in his 11 games last season. He's one behind MLB Curtis Lofton for the team lead in tackles. He has recorded only one sack but can bring heat off the edge as a blitzer.

Lets face it: The Nobel Prizes arent for everyone. Thats why we celebrate the annual Ig Nobel Prizes, which were handed out recently at Harvards Sanders Theater.
Among this years winners were scientists who discovered that alcohol makes people think theyre attractive and that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely she is to stand up.
These awards are handed out by the folks who publish the Annals of Improbable Research. Though the discoveries they recognize can seem obvious, inconsequential or just plain goofy, the awards do have a purpose: To honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think.
Among the achievements that earned the 2013 Ig Nobels:
The Medicine Prize was awarded to a group of Japanese researchers who determined that mice who got heart transplants survived longer if opera music or Mozart was playing in the background during their surgeries, compared with mice who went under the knife to Enya or to a single-frequency tone. The beneficial music seemed to stimulate production of helpful immune system cells. Their results were published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
The Psychology Prize went to European researchers who figured out that beer goggles can be trained on oneself. This team conducted two experiments that found that the more alcohol a person consumed, the more highly they rated themselves for attractiveness, intelligence and cleverness. Their study appeared in the British Journal of Psychology.
The unusual Joint Prize in Biology and Astronomy recognized vision scientists who tested the ability of dung beetles to roll their balls of manure under clear and cloudy nighttime skies. Their findings, published in the journal Current Biology, demonstrated that the insects use the Milky Way to navigate.
The Physics Prize was handed out to a European team that wondered whether it would be possible for people to walk on water actually, to run across the surface of a hypothetical pond under the low-gravity conditions that exist on the moon. Their calculations revealed that the answer is yes. You can read the report from PLOS ONE.
On the mathematics front, the Probability Prize went to researchers at the Scottish Agricultural College in Edinburgh who wanted to get a better understanding of what made cows decide when to lie down and when to stand up. The question isnt entirely trivial: A cows posture can indicate whether she is in heat or has a health problem. After observing nearly 11,000 lying episodes, they determined that the longer a cow has been lying down, the sooner she will stand up. However, they were surprised to discover that the reverse was not true. Their report was published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science.

Jasper Police Officer Dave Drew has quit the force.
In February, we reported that Drew's job was in jeopardy.
A meeting on his future was scheduled on Friday, but officials tell 14 News that Officer Drew has now submitted his letter of resignation.
Drew has been the subject of investigations by both the Jasper Police Department and Indiana State Police, dating back to February, Jasper Police Chief Michael Bennett recommended that the Jasper Board of Public Works should fire Drew following an internal investigation conducted by Jasper Police.
So far, neither Jasper Police, State Police, nor the city of Jasper have disclosed the allegations against Drew.
However, Chief Bennett has confirmed to 14 News that Drew is the subject of a criminal investigation.
ISP tells us Martin County Prosecutor Mike Steiner is handling that case.
Jasper Mayor Terry Seitz released an official statement on Friday saying 'On Thursday, March 14, 2013, Officer Drew tendered resignation of his position as a patrolman for the Jasper Police Department. Any information request seeking more specific information regarding the investigation and/or allegations leading to the chief's recommendation need not be disclosed.'
Steiner's office says more information may be released about this matter on Monday.

A Pitt County couple is behind bars after a 3 month investigation into the sale of prescription drugs.
49-year-old Walter Bullock and 47-year-old Joann Bullock are in the Pitt County Detention Center. Their arrests come after the Pitt County Sheriff's Office, assisted by the Martin County Sheriff's Office and Williamston Police Dept., searched their home on Highway 30 in Stokes.
During the search, deputies found more than 600 oxycodon pills, approximately 12 ounces of marijuana and around $20,000 in cash.
Because Water Bullock is a convicted felon, approximately 30 firearms were seized from the residence.
Both Walter and Joann Bullock were arrested for trafficking opiates by possession, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, and maintaining a residence for the storage and use of controlled substances. Their bonds were set at $250,000 each.
Deputies say this investigation is ongoing and other charges are pending.

The Saints agreed to a one-year deal with backup QB Chaes Daniel, the team confirmed Monday.
The contract is a one-year, $1 million deal with a $300,000 signing bonus, according to Adam Caplan of The Sideline View.
Daniel was scheduled to become a restricted free agent on Tuesday. Daniel, 25, has attempted eight regular-season passes in his career. He will be entering his fourth NFL season.
"Ever since Chase joined our team in 2009, he's continued to work hard and progress on the practice field, in the meeting room and in the weight room," said GM Mickey Loomis on the team's website. "His work ethic has served him well as he's continued his development for us at the quarterback position."
