But where did the couple, who often engaged in public PDA, go wrong?
Was it the Scientology? Careers? Their contract was up?

The Kings stand at 15 win with only 5 games left that they have a reasonable (still underdogs) chance of winning,Grizzlies, @Warriors,Warriors,@Clippers and @ T-wolves..The Wizards.unless Arenas gives them a serious boost, are at 16 wins with the Bobcats,@Grizzlies @Raptors and Raptors. The 17 win Grizzlies have only 3 chances, at Kings @Warriors and @Wizards while the 17 win Clippers also only have 3 T-wolves Kings and Thunder all at home. That leaves all 4 teams capable of reaching 20 wins maximum barring any upset wins.
The worst team gets 250 out of a 1000 ping pong ball combinations, the 2nd worse team gets 199. In case 2 teams tie for worse they would each get 224 combinations with a coin flip for the 1 combination left over.
To my way of thinking if the Kings lose to either the Grizzlies or Clippers then there is probably no chance that they would catch them in wins. If they lose to both, only the Wizards would be competition for worse record (Go Agent Zero).
The only real thing finishing last guarantees is picking no worse than 4th...I would like that guarantee going into the lottery...things have been known to go haywire.
Griffin would make up for Hawes and Thompson only being slightly above average rebounders, and I believe it would be an effective , cheap playoff combination of 3 bigs for the near future. Then throw all our available cash into a top 10 point guard.
If we get #2, Rubio is the guy and we throw all the spare cash for a quality big..not as good a plan but acceptable.
We know things will be going well next year if our first 4 players off the bench are Garcia Nocioni Griffin and Udrih (may he never start again).

Previously, "if the portion removed during the first surgery came back positive for cancer, a second surgery was needed to remove the rest of the thyroid.

Middle Eastern carrier Oman Air is increasing its authorised share capital by RO200 million ($520 million), and spin off several businesses, after turning in higher losses of RO113 million last year.
The hike will bring its authorised capital to RO700 million. Muscat-based Oman Air says the overall share capital will equate to 700 million shares.
It adds that some of its businesses – which include aviation services, ground-handling and cargo – could be "managed better independently", while remaining in the group.
"The aim is to transform these activities into separate legal entities, which will enhance their efficiency and effectiveness," says chairman Darwish bin Ismail Al-Balushi.
Ground services and air freight will be the first to undergo separation. Each company, Al-Balushi says, will be able to "focus on its strategic objectives".
Oman Air claims that, although its losses increased by 16% for the full year 2013, its overall contribution to the sultanate's economy was around RO400 million.
This contribution "exceeds" the financial burden of the carrier's losses, it states.
Oman Air's passenger numbers were up some 13% to nearly 5 million, and revenues increased by 10% to RO381.7 million.
It says the expansion of its fleet with a further 20 aircraft – including its first Boeing 787s, due to arrive from 2015 – will enable the airline to start to "move towards profitability".

EAST TEXAS (KLTV) - November is national adoption month. It's a month set aside to raise awareness about the adoption of children and youth from foster care.
This year's theme is "You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent."
All month long we will share with you stories of adoption and those who support the adoption process.
In East Texas, there are currently 71 children who are African-American or Hispanic waiting to be adopted.
Children like Romelo who you've seen featured before in our Gift of Love segments. They make up 40 percent of those looking for a forever family right here in East Texas.
It's called disproportionality, which is the over representation of a particular race or cultural group in a particular program or system.
"In this case, Texas Child Welfare has disproportionality for African-American children in every region in Texas," said Shelia Craig, the State Disproportionality Manager.
There was a town hall recently held in Tyler to talk about this issue with the community. Those in the faith based community, the school district, NAACP, civil rights, juvenile probation and concerned citizens. Also in attendance was Maud Wright, a foster parent for 33 years and is working to help get more children out of foster care and into an adopted family.
"Fids need stability, they need a good environment, they need to know that they are loved, [and] they need to know that they have a warm bed to go to at night," said Wright. "They need to know that in case something happened at school they can call their granny or mom to come see about me. They need to feel that they are wanted and important."
And, children like 15-year-old Chris face bigger obstacles. In Texas, African-American children are:
1. More likely to be removed from their homes compared to anglo children.2. Fewer are successfully reunited with their families3. Tend to wait longer for adoption and are more likely to age out of the foster care system at age 18.
They are all children who want and need to find their forever family that can show them the gift of love.
The Department of Family and Protective Services is working to raise awareness and sensitivity to this issue by creating community advisory committees in the East Texas area.
Individuals interested in working within the community to help can contact Roxane May, disproportionality specialist, at (409) 963-4722.
If you'd like more information about East Texas children available for adoption call our Gift of Love hotline, toll-free, 1-888-kids-275.

NOTE: this post was previously titled, "Why Aren't the Laws of Science Evolving?" I changed the title after I realized that the previous title implies the very assumption being challenged :)
Rupert Sheldrake recently asked this question in his banned TED talk. I think it's an excellent question that deserves serious inquiry. All observations I'm aware of converge: everything is evolving, except the laws that dictate the evolving! This ties right into the classic Aristotleian delineation: that which moves do so at the behest of something which does not move. Interesting, isn't it?
May 6, 2013
Isn't it weird that so many self-proclaimed "skeptics" and "freethinkers" seem so self-assured of everything they believe in, just like the "ignorant Christians" they spend so much time attacking? "Question authority," they proclaim out one side of their mouth, while vomiting rigid and sometimes archaic scientific formulae out the other. "Think freely" they bark, only to chastise those who don't live up to their (often contradictory) standards. In practical experience, very few atheists actually seem willing to question or think freely, when it really gets down to it. Just like true believers, atheists hold to plot points on a narrative–only their's is backed up by evidence and reality (at least in their own minds). We've heard it all before, right?
Rather than rehash the obvious, let's take a different approach.
April 6, 2013
I recently found an old printout of Theodore Drange's 1996 critique of the so-called "Argument From The Bible." Drange was an early contributor to Internet Infidels, and to this day I still hear atheists occasionally praise him as some sort of competent critic. When I stumbled across the printout, I asked myself why I'd saved it. After reading a few snippets, it all came back to me: I saved it because it's another shining example of the illogic that passes for rational criticism in atheist circles. So, from time to time I'll be addressing certain points in this article. First let's take a look at Drange's summation of the Argument From the Bible.
"Materialistic science, in its effort to gain knowledge of the world of matter and to control it, has engendered a monster that threatens the very survival of life on our planet. The human role has changed from that of creator to that of victim."
—Stanislav Grof, HR Giger (Taschen Icon Series)

Nee on direct vs. sought revelation:
"The revelation of God in our spirit is of two kinds: the direct and the sought. By direct revelation we mean that God, having a particular wish for the believer to do, draws nigh and reveals it to the latter's spirit. Upon receiving such a revelation in his intuition the believer acts accordingly. By sought revelation we mean that a believer, having a special need, approaches God with that need and seeks and waits for an answer through God's movement in his spirit." —Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man V.2, p80
March 31, 2013
In normal thinking we arrive at conclusions via reasoning, deduction, inference, analysis, etc. This is the sensing of the mind (which Nee would call "soul" or "soulical" sensing). This differs from spiritual sensing, which can be described as response or knowledge acquired without mental processing (revelation). Nee writes:
"The spiritual sensing is called 'intuition,' for it impinges directly without reason or cause. Without passing through any procedure, it comes forth in a straight manner. Man's ordinary sensing is caused or brought out by people or things or events. We rejoice when there is reason to rejoice, grieve if there is justification to grieve and so forth. Each of these senses has its respective antecedent; hence we cannot conclude them to be expressions of intuition or direct sense. Spiritual sense, on the other hand, does not require any outside cause but emerges directly from within man." —Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man V.2, section 5
March 28, 2013
(A)theists often argue over dualism. For the record, I'm not a dualist. I concur with the Bible's depiction of a human being as a tripartite (three-part) entity. Most Christians follow in Descartes' footsteps by defining a human being as a soul with a body. However, this position is not biblically grounded. Several verses point to either a clear or implied distinction between body, soul and spirit (cf. Hebrews 4:12, Luke 1:46-47, 1 Thess. 5:23, etc.). Watchman Nee explains the respective functions of each entity, with his usual clarity and eloquence:

If you commented or read at CSA much, you might remember a commenter that went by the name of Martin. Well, Martin recently informed me about his new book titled Evidence for the Existence of God, written under the pen name James Kelly and available in Kindle edition for $1 on Amazon. The book is available for free Sunday March 10th and Monday March 11th. I especially liked how he addresses various objections to each of the arguments he presents, which are essentially just recaps on the classic Thomist arguments. For example, in reference to a common atheist retort against Aristotle's argument from kinesis:
Objection: What about virtual particles? Virtual particles pop into existence without a cause. Or beta decay, where atoms decay without any cause.
It's far from clear that there is no cause. There are at least a dozen different interpretations of quantum mechanics, and about half of them theorize that there is a cause and half do not. This objection relies upon a simplistic understanding of causation. If all causation is "billiard ball" causation, like little balls or particles bumping into each other, then perhaps quantum mechanics might provide some evidence against it. But causation is not like that. The sun causes plants to grow, magnets cause metal to move, volitions of agents, water freezing or melting, and so on are all examples of causative relations that are not simplistic billiard balls knocking into other billiard balls. So the observation that there is no particle bumping into an atom causing it to decay is not evidence that there is no cause at all.
I sent Martin a few questions, which turned into a mini-interview of sorts. Enjoy, and download the book!

From Twitter:
You don't need to be a scientist to know Earth's age or that life evolved. You just need be one who embraces objective truths.
When I read stuff like this, my heart sinks, especially when it comes from a scientist. Isn't it sad? Despite the fact that the official age of the Earth and practically every scientific "fact" has bowed to new discoveries, here we have a scientist implying that *NOW* we can be sure. The problem is, Neil's comment suggests he is unaware of the most elementary observation a scientific-minded critical thinker can make: How many "objective" truths of the past are in the scientific dustbin of the present?
I'm with Neil, in a sense: I embrace objective truths. I just think it's unscientific and irresponsible to imply that today's "age of the Earth" is among them. Haven't we learned from the past?
Think critically, people. Question all self-proclaimed experts.
February 20, 2013
May we all take this to heart:
"A serious trouble with many who are engaged in Christian work is their lack of love for man, their lack of esteem for man, their failure to realize the value of man in God's sight… God is the Creator of all men, and no person is fit to be His servant who dislikes or despises any one of them."
—Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Worker, pp. 33-34

The UL Lafayette Office of Distance Learning has launched a new online program for certified teachers with an interest in mentoring their peers.
The Graduate Certificate in Instructional Coaching is a 12-hour, non-degree program approved by the state that will begin March 10.
The deadline to apply for the program is Feb. 10.
Instructional coaches, or instruction specialists, are trained to assist other educators, with the ultimate goal of improving teacher and student performance.
"The Graduate Certificate in Instructional Coaching program is designed to give certified teachers knowledge and skills to lead circular innovation and mentor their peers," said Dr. Luke Dowden, director of Distance Learning.
The University is the first school in the state to offer such a program online, Dowden said.
The Graduate Certificate in Instructional Coaching, which can be completed in about 10 months, is structured to accommodate working teachers.
Four, seven-week online courses are "sequenced" over three semesters, Dowden said, with a smaller course load during the academic year and more courses in the summer months.
One course will be offered this semester, another during the Summer 2014 semester and two more during the Fall 2014 semester.
The courses are:
· EDCI 531: Advanced Professional Strategies;
· EDCI 574: Leading Teacher Learning;
· EDCI 576: Supporting Instruction in the Classroom;
· EDCI 599: Capstone in Curriculum and Instruction
The credit hours accrued also can be put toward graduate school for student's who wish to pursue a master's of education degree in curriculum and instruction, Dowden said.
Completion of the program can be beneficial in obtaining a Louisiana Department of Education Instructional Coach Endorsement, he added.
"If mentoring is something that you really enjoy doing this is an opportunity for you to do it and have a formal credential attached to it," he said.

I Used To Love Star Wars
Heres My Story.
Ahem, grab popcorn folks!
Ok. So, I loved Star Wars, i went to every movie at the theatre. I didn't really care for Trek, asmany. But, my dad forced me to watch it. I sighed, not realizing what i was in for. By the end of the movie, i was upstairs playing Star Trek: Leagacy ( I watched STII) I never watched Star Wars Again. All Star Trek! One night, my dad brought home the Clone Wars. I just went to bed.And Now, i'll get to See Trek In The Theatre For The FIRST TIME EVER!! What does this have to do with the movie?? Before i watched Trek, I Thought It was Geeky Trash! But, After Watching It At Its Best, I Love It (Why Would I be on here if i didn't?)So, if kids would summon up some courage to go see it, every id will adore Trek! It won't be geeky anymore, and i'll be the coolest kid at school. ( at least thats the bright future) The dark future is that everyone will hate me and call me geeky and i'll be thrown into the trash cans. Even my best friend has almost punched me for getting excited about Trek. GO ABRAMS! SAVE ME!
hahahahaha....woooo......you know what I did when people dissed me for liking Trek? It simply confirmed my suspicion that I understood something they did not. I know, I know..its's the typical elitist Trekfan attitude right, but man if people pick on you because you are a fan of something, they obviously have some issues with their own lives, and you don't need JJ or anyone else pandering to those people.
Original assault on the Death Star, with all its faux WWII dam-busting attitude, is still more enthralling than any space battle Trek has put onscreen.
That said, Star Trek is about Kirk/Spock/McCoy more than anything else. Lifelong friendship, the human spirit, teamwork, sacrifice...real values.
They both have their appeal.
I love both Trek and Wars. Both of them are excellent entertainment. Star Wars is an old movie serial (Think Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and the like) with a new look, and stretched out to feature length. Those old B&W sci-fi serials kept you on the edge of your seat, and always kept you wanting more. And i always leave the theater after a Star Wars movie feeling that way. I also leave the theater after a Star Trek film wanting more, but for a completely different reason. Because when I'm watching Star Wars, I'm watching an adventure. When I'm watching Star Trek, I feel like I'm part of the adventure. I always say Trek is more meaningful because if we survive long enough, there's going to be a ship like the Enterprise one of these days, and people like Kirk, Scott, McCoy, Uhura etc., people like us, flying it. Maybe we won't be there, but if we manage to keep this planet in one piece long enough, then it will happen, at least partially, because of us. I like that feeling better than trying to flip on a light switch using the force, because I'm too lazy to get up and turn it on. Bottom line: Star Wars is about somebody else's past (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), Star Trek is about OUR future (to boldly go where no man has gone before). It's as simple as that.
agreed with monsier
I walked out Star Wars back in '76.
it did?
Why can't you like both?
The "war" is ridiculous.
Umm didn't it come out in 77?

Brandi Travers - A saver
"I am doing this through student loans and savings. I worked for four years after highschool. I am doing this on my own. Don't waste your money! I worked at a bank and learned great ways of saving money. I put money away every cheque no matter what. Do your homework! Get a really good bank account with good interest - it is all the little stuff like that!"
Brittany Edwards - Waitressing with a bonus
" I found a waitressing job that gives you $50 a week to go towards tuition. You can save your tips and get a $400 bursary at the end of 8 weeks. It is a win-win situation!"
Liam Geehan-Hearn - Paying as he goes
"I tried to figure out as many ways to help myself as possible. During my second semester, I decided to pick up a job as a sales associate. Basically all the payments for University come from my paycheck and commissions, Try your hardest, do your best and working along with school forces you to study in the time you have. I now have better time management skills too!"
Jennifer Sullivan - The little things
"I got rid of my car to take the bus. I work part-time and have a student line of credit. I pay what I can out of my cheque and use my student line of credit for the rest and pay it back. I try to pack my lunch as much as possible to save on the expense of buying them from the food court. Every little bit counts!"

Description[from Freebase]
To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1962 American drama film adaptation of Harper Lee's novel of the same name directed by Robert Mulligan. It stars Mary Badham in the role of Scout and Gregory Peck in the role of Atticus Finch. In 1995, the film was listed in the National Film Registry. It also ranks twenty-fifth on the American Film Institute's 10th anniversary list of the greatest American movies of all time. In 2003, AFI named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the 20th century. To Kill a Mockingbird marks the film debuts of Robert Duvall, William Windom, and Alice Ghostley. The film's young protagonists, Jean Louise "Scout" Finch (Mary Badham) and her brother Jem (Phillip Alford), live in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the 1930s. The story covers three years, during which Scout and Jem undergo changes in their lives. They begin as innocent children, who spend their days happily playing games with each other and spying on Arthur "Boo" Radley (Robert Duvall), who has not been seen for many years by anybody as a result of never leaving his house and about whom many wicked rumours circulate.

Released smack-dab in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, focuses on Atticus Finch's (Gregory Peck) struggle for justice in a small, racist community, as he defends an obviously innocent African-American charged with raping a young white girl. Finch, as depicted in both the film and the novel, is one of our great American touchstones. He congenially balances widowed fatherhood with his quest for what's right. He takes the impossible case with quiet fervor so as not to lose self-respect, risking the admiration of his neighbors and peers, and the safety of his children in the process.
Mockingbird cultivates a well-rounded story by following the events from his children's perspective. They play, go to school, get into fights, and dare each other through the notoriously spooky Radley gates. These routines help to give a glimpse into the innocence Atticus attempts to protect. His daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), is still a joy to watch on screen. Between her tomboyish ways (in a film that takes place in 1932, no less) and her bold questions, she ably guides us through the claustrophobic atmosphere. She and Atticus get the beautifully rare opportunity to appreciate new spins on the humane rules that the father continually upholds while raising his children.
Atticus's impassioned closing statement to the trial of Tom Robinson understandably won Peck an Oscar. His powerful call for fair treatment still rings true, as does the shame provoked by Scout's friendliness to the townspeople who storm the jail in the hopes of getting to Robinson on the eve of the trial. To Kill a Mockingbird is an oldie but goody that can still entertain as it preaches.

MADISON (WAOW) – A 58-year-old Friendship man walked into an Adams County bank with a pistol, pointed it at the tellers and announced "this is a robbery," according to a federal criminal complaint filed Friday.
Randy Glenn Paulson was charged with bank robbery in the July 3 theft of an undisclosed amount of money from the Grand Marsh State Bank in Grand Marsh, U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil said.
Paulson was arrested Thursday in Illinois, the prosecutor said in a statement.
At the time of the robbery, the Adams County Sheriff's Department said the masked gunman fled from the bank about seven miles southeast of Adams-Friendship in a car owned by a teller.
According to Vaudreuil, the robber obtained cash from the teller drawers and demanded car keys from a customer in the bank."The customer did not respond and a teller volunteered her car keys which Paulson took and left the bank," Vaudreuil said.
The maximum punishment for the federal bank robbery charge is 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, the prosecutor said.

Holiday decorations often include flowers and shrubs. Unfortunately, while these items are pretty, many of the most popular are toxic to humans or pets. Here is a list of popular holiday plants and their toxic effects:
Amaryllis hippeastrum Eating the bulb can cause abdominal pain.
Christmas Trees Cedar Ingesting the bark can cause abdominal pain. The sap may cause an itchy skin rash. Christmas trees are a bigger fire danger than poison danger.
Holly Berries ilex Eating 1 or 2 berries should be OK. More than 2 berries can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Minnesota Poison Control says 20 berries can kill a child.
Jerusalem Cherry solanum pseudocapsicum Ingestion can cause vomiting, skin redness, drowsiness or restlessness, and hallucinations. Seizures are possible, but rare.
Mistletoe phoradendron All parts of mistletoe contain toxins. If ingested, mistletoe can cause vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. According to California Poison Control, one to two berries or leaves eaten by a child will NOT result in serious harm. If you hang mistletoe in your home during the holidays, place it in a piece of netting or a plastic sandwich bag to prevent leaves and berries from dropping to the ground where kids and pets can eat them.
Poinsettia euphorbia Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias have been considered safe for the holiday home since the 1970's. Eating several leaves can give you a stomach ache, and the sap can cause skin rash. Wash away sap with soap and water.
Pyracantha You can eat a large number of berries before getting a stomach ache. Like the poinsettia, this plant is considered safe by experts.
Rosary Pea or Jequirity Bean abrus precatorius These berries are very dangerous. They can be swallowed whole, but can be life-threatening if they are chewed prior to swallowing. Vomiting and abdominal pain occurs within a few hours after swallowing, followed by bloody diarrhea.

A package of bologna, two boxes of margarine, and one can of cinnamon rolls. That's all that was left in the cooler at Family Dollar in Fayetteville Wednesday.
After 5 years in business, the store at 207 W. Maple Avenue is closing.
"I hate it," says Assistant Manager Allison Hamm. "Everyone here is really nice to work for. We finally got a good crew, and I hate it really bad."
A fire sale has been going on at the store for weeks, with goods now marked down to between 30 and 50 percent of their full prices.
Ever since they announced the sale, the store has been very busy, according to employees.
The store's five-person staff heard the news about a month ago, but Hamm says they weren't given any detailed explanation as to why the store is closing, aside from the obvious fact that it wasn't making enough profit.
"People keep asking me, but I don't know," she says.
The doors will shut for good sometime before the end of the year, according to employees.
They will be able to transfer to other Family Dollar stores if there are openings, but so far there aren't any available.
Family Dollar also has locations in Montgomery, Gauley Bridge, Summersville, Oak Hill, Rainelle, Mt. Hope, and the Beckley area, where there are four stores.
A real estate agent's sign in the front yard of the building indicates that it is for sale or lease.
The property last sold in 2007 to Ang Real Estate Holdings of Murrysville, Pa., according to Fayette County tax records.
Family Dollar isn't the only Fayette County retail business that has faced financial trouble in recent months. In downtown Oak Hill, the Value Plus grocery store is also going out of business.
Its owner, David Stephens, has told media outlets that remaining viable is difficult with competition from a nearby Wal-mart and Kroger.
K-Mart has also confirmed that it will close the doors of its location on Route 19 in Oak Hill on January 27. Fifty-nine workers will be affected.

HUNTERSVILLE – Eddy Leidenheimer's love of horses will live on thanks to his family and a few four-legged friends. And his dream of sharing that love with children will continue at DreamView Stables, a new Huntersville farm at 10310 Hambright Road.
Eddy Leidenheimer first thought up DreamView Stables at an early age. He loved everything equine and couldn't imagine a life away from horses. By the time he was 12 years old he had made up in his mind that he wanted to be a horse trainer.
For high school, Eddy Leidenheimer attended Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, a secondary boarding school well known for its equestrian programs. He worked as an assistant trainer at stables in Asheboro and Winston-Salem. After graduating from Morehead State University, he opened in his own barn.
"This was his dream and view for people to live their dreams," Bobbi Leidenheimer, his mother, said.
Unfortunately, Eddy Leidenheimer didn't have the chance to see his dream fulfilled in its entirety. While living in Kentucky, he was diagnosed with Leukemia and subsequently passed away in June 2007. His sister Stephanie, 12 years his junior but equally matched in her love for horses, quickly took the reins. In 2011, when she and husband Matt Milloux learned a property in Huntersville was up for sale, they jumped at the opportunity to return to the area.
"Stephanie has been around horses since she was born," Bobbi Leidenheimer said. "She was born into my and her brother's love for horses."
And if her week is any indication, that passion is as strong as ever.
Stephanie gives riding lessons for four hours every Monday through Friday afternoon at DreamView. Every one of the horses is fed in the early morning and evening. The Milloux's work and ride every horse in the barn. The stalls are cleaned and the horse bedding is refreshed every day except Sunday.
Of course, with a stud and 10 mares on hand, someone also has to name the colts when they're born – a job Stephanie takes pride in. There's Candy, Versace, Turbo, Legend; the list goes on, with every name as unique as the one before.
Yet even with investment horses that are bred, trained and later sold, the stable isn't all about the business aspect.
"We focus on being a friendly, fun, safety-first barn where everyone loves the horses," Bobbi Leidenheimer said.
They even give others a chance to develop a fondness for horses at a young age.
"We have a youth club that meets monthly," Bobbi Leidenheimer said. "It is all about horses and horsemanship, based in a fun, family atmosphere. The club also participates in a community service project and fundraiser for a charity of the club's choice."

DreamView Stables is at 10310 Hambright Road in Huntersville. To learn more about the facility, call 704-286-6755.

A troubled free school facing closure could be handed a lifeline thanks to the intervention of an MP.
Henry Smith has called on the Department For Education to give the new management team at the Discovery New School in Crawley more time to turn the primary school around.
The department announced last month that the free school would close in April, claiming it had "weak leadership" and "unqualified teaching".
The Crawley MP raised the future of the school with education secretary Michael Gove in Parliament on Monday and has secured a meeting between himself, the school's chair of governors Chris Cook and schools minister Lord Nash on January 14.
The school had been one of the first to open in September 2011 under the Government's controversial free schools programme but was the subject of a devastating Ofsted report in May last year when it was rated "inadequate" and put into special measures.
Mr Smith said he felt that the funding had been pulled "prematurely", with a new management team having been in place for just a matter of weeks.
He said that even if the school was to close, the Government should be prepared to do more to provide moral and logistical support to help relocate the school's 65 pupils.
The MP said that support could even extend to providing temporary classrooms for the displaced pupils.
He added: "We are hoping that the school can remain open.
"Allowing the new management team the rest of this term and the summer term to turn the school round, to me that would be a fair chance.
"If the school is still unsuccessful then September would be a more suitable time for the children to start at a new school.
"I have been disappointed by the way the Department For Education has handled this."
The news comes as The Guardian announced this week that Mr Cook had launched a fierce attack on the Government, branding free schools policy "rushed and ill-considered" in a letter to Lord Nash.
In the letter, Mr Cook alleged that the Department For Education tipped off the media about its closure before the school found out, and gave the school "no detailed advice" on how it should go about closing itself down.

Motorcycle Shed
Motorcycles can be kept in your living room or hallway but the neighbors might not be happy and your significant other might have a problem with you parking your bike next to the sofa. Some people park their motorcycles outside and chain them up and put a tarp over them. This is inexpensive and for the most part works quite well. Some after market parts suppliers provide custom fitted covers for your bike. The drawback is you can scratch your paint when you pull the tarp or cover off the bike. If you spent a couple of thousand dollars on the paint job you won't be happy with either of these solutions.
I read an article about building a semi portable Motorcycle Shed out of PVC Pipe and a polypropylene tarp. I don't remember exactly how it goes but it was something like this: Put some four foot long 1/2 inch diameter rebar in the ground. Take some ten or twelve foot long PVC pipe and bend it over the rebar. Run another piece of PVC Pipe under the hoops you have formed and zip tie this pipe at the highest point of your arch. This becomes the ridge pole and supposedly adds strength to the structure. Cover the hoops with the tarp and secure the tarp to the ground with stakes or put a piece of treated wood down around the perimeter and staple or tack the tarp to the wood. I think you should still anchor the tent down with stakes or screw in anchors you can get at the hardware store. Most commonly they are used to anchor dog chains in the back yard but they will work to hold down your tent just as well. The problem I see with this is that while it will meet the basic needs and it is cheap to make, polypropylene tarps will break down under the sun's bright glare. You will have to change the tarp every two or three years. They also don't offer much protection in a hail storm or from falling branches. The next few options are more permanent and offer security as well as protection from the elements.
Double Wall Plastic Resin Sheds: These sheds come in many different sizes and styles. All you would need to store your motorcycle is a six foot by five foot shed. Many of these sheds have a lifetime warranty and are easy to assemble and maintain. Some have double doors so you can store his and hers motorcycles in the same shed. Most have decent locking systems and most homeowner's insurance policies will cover theft from these sheds as long as you have a lock on the door. I would check with your agent to be sure before going down this route. Plastic Resin Sheds require a wood or concrete floor to which they are anchored. Check your local building code because sheds over a certain size require permits. Most big box stores can tell you what type of foundation you need in your area. These sheds run about $800.00 and do not include the cement or wood foundation.
Metal Sheds: These sheds also come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. The most common ones are eight feet deep and ten feet wide with a gentle pitched roof and made of steel. These types of sheds require a wood or concrete foundation and are much less expensive than the Plastic Sheds. Typically these sheds run between $200 and $400 without the wood or concrete foundation and have the same building code limitations and requirements. While steel sheds are usually stronger than plastic sheds, they will rust out if you don't maintain them.
Wood Sheds: These are my personal favorites. A wood motorcycle shed can be custom built to meet your personal requirements. I mean really, who would put a Harley Fat Boy in a plastic or metal shed. Wood sheds can be covered with vinyl siding if you don't want to paint it every three years and you can put windows, doors, skylights, porches, railings, ramps or anything else you desire on a wood shed. There are plans you can buy or you can draw up your own prints or build like I do…from my memory (the memory plans don't meet code requirements). Built correctly, a wood shed will out last both the metal and plastic sheds. They are impossible to price because you can collect scrap or used wood or buy brand new sticks. If you are on a limited budget then make a materials list and do some shopping.

Ron Hadorn is the president of the Massachusetts Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs and Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester. For more than a century, Clubs have helped put young people on the path to great futures. Nearly 4,000 Clubs serve some 4.1 million young people through membership and community outreach.
What is the Boys and Girls Club and its mission?
Boys & Girls Clubs provides a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. Clubs throughout the country offer ongoing relationships with caring, adult professions, life-enhancing programs and character development experiences. Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Why is volunteerism important and how does it help your organization reach its goals?
Boys & Girls Club were built on the mission that any youth should be able to attend our programs and membership costs are kept low or non-existent. Clubs often need the in-kind support of volunteers to ensure are doors open each and every day for kids who need us most.
What makes a successful volunteer?
Because of the different needs of a Boys & Girls Club, a successful volunteer only needs to believe in our mission and want to help in some way. We can find a use for any skill set.
How can volunteers get involved?
There are numerous ways to get involved. Volunteers can help through programming (e.g. tutoring and/or mentoring), fundraising (e.g. helping with events) or administratively (e.g. technology infrastructure, etc). Here in New England, one of our favorite initiatives is the Science of Sports where Raytheon employees act as science fair mentors to middle school students to instill a passion for math and science through the lens of sports in partnership with the New England Patriots.

Big City Lager
Appearance: Pours a clear deep golden body beneath a thin finger of creamy white froth that holds surprisingly well. Better than average head retention and lacing.
Smell: Sweet, sugary malt base. Adjunct-loaded... very little actual malt is found. Sweetish and mildly corn-like. Some fruitiness, mainly apple.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a median carbonation.
Taste: Sweetish, sugary, and alcohol-infused malt base. Some very muddled hops underneath don't really display any character... kind of like a buttery finger smeared on toast, there's some butter there, yes, the tongue finds it, but mainly it's toast. Very mild bitterness. Still, it doesn't go too far out of balance, it's just on the sweet side.
Overall: It's not a very good beer, but as a very low-priced beer ($10 something / 24 cans) it's not a drain-pour. I'd suggest that this is a great beer straight from the ice during a long deep-sea fishing charter during August off the coast of Florida.

Hundreds of people are braving the cold to get the chance to meet former Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin tonight.
Palin will sign 1,000 copies of her book "Going Rogue" between 5:30- 8:30pm at the Reno Costco at Harvard and Plumb.
It's open only to Costco members. "I am just excited that we have someone to represent us, the average, the average person, the person that loves our country. We love our country," says Jerida Vochatzer of South Lake Tahoe.
'Going Rogue' has sold more than 1 million copies. It has topped the New York Times' best-seller list for two weeks.
The book follows Sarah Palin from childhood to her departure last summer as Alaska governor. Its title refers to reports that she defied presidential candidate John McCain's staff during the campaign and had gone "rogue."
The three-week tour is expected to largely mirror the 2008 race.
Michael Gabor drove more than two hours from Sacramento to be among the first in line at 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Gabor says the GOP's 2008 vice presidential candidate has a lot of drive and dedication and is sincere in her fight for freedom from terrorism and big government.
