Samsung Debuts Q530, Q430 And Q330 Multi-Media Notebooks
The notebooks cover a variety of sizes; the Q530 has a 15.6" display, while the Q430 has a 14" display and the Q330 has a 13.3" one. The Q330 even has a hybrid graphics system that switches between internal Intel graphics and NVIDIA's GeForce 310M, giving the 5-cell battery up to 7 hours of battery life. We certainly wish the larger two had similar systems, but alas, it doesn't look as if that's the case.
All of the new models have Core i3 or Core i5 processors, with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M powering the Q430 and Q530 on the graphics front. Other specs include USB and HDMI ports, a 3-in-1 card reader, a built-in optical drive and a weight between 1.97kg and 2.39kg. The new lineup will be available worldwide starting later this month, but no prices are mentioned yet.
Samsung announces the Q-Series range of notebooks, the ultimate blend of style, power and mobility
Seoul (Korea Newswire) July 5, 2010 -- Samsung Electronics, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, today announced the release of its Q-Series range of notebooks, the Q530, Q430 and Q330.
"We've designed the Q Series to offer the most exciting, powerful and stylish mobile computing experience on the market. Each model in the range will maximize mobile productivity through a combination of state-of-the-art features and ergonomic design," said Yonghwan Park, senior vice president, IT Solutions Business, Samsung Electronics. "The Q series line-up realizes the perfect IT experience, delivering both portability and performance without compromise."
The Q-Series offer the ultimate in mobility, style and power and the range is designed to meet the needs of consumers who demand the highest levels of productivity while on the go and those who want an outstanding multimedia experience. The Q Series range will be available globally from July, 2010.
The Q Series line up:
·Q530 – The flagship product of the Q Series range that strikes a perfect balance between performance, mobility and style. It has been designed to meet the demands of heavy mobile users – particularly business travelers and consumers who rely on a high performance PC while on the go.
The Q530 also boasts an exceptionally bright 15.6" HD LED display, producing the sharpest images and boldest colors. Its 16:9 aspect ratio also ensures the most accurate representation of HD movies and games, while its efficient LED technology is less demanding on the battery.
·Q430 – Comes packed with all of the features of the Q530, so it will appeal to users who value mobility. With a 14" HD LED display and weighing an incredible 2.09 kg and with a stylish finish, it offers the best mobile power user experience on the market.
The Q430 offers the sharpest images and boldest colors and its proper 16:9 aspect ratio also ensures the most accurate representation of HD movies and games, making it ideal for mobile or home use.
·Q330 – A notebook for users who want mobility and power, combined with the added value and convenience offered. At a featherweight 1.97kg and incorporating 13.3" HD LED display, it is the lightest notebook in the Q Series range, yet it too is packed with impressive features.
The Q330 is equipped with a hybrid graphic feature, automatically alternating graphic modes between the Intel HD Graphic card and the nVidia GeForce 310M, saving power consumption and adding to the up to 7 hours of battery life (Shared GFX with 5cell 5,900mah).
Performance and Mobility without compromise
All models in the Q Series range offer outstanding computing power through state of the art Intel® Core™ i3 or Intel® Core™ i5 processors. The Intel® Core™ i5 processor is exceptionally fast and accelerates in response to demanding tasks. It automatically allocates processing power where it's needed most, making it ideal for creating HD video, composing digital music, editing photos, or playing PC games.
The Q530 and Q430 are also capable of powerful graphics performance and feature the latest NVIDIA
GeForce GT 330M graphics card for an exceptional video and gaming experience. Its advanced 3D graphics processing power and dedicated 1GB gDDR3 memory provide outstanding graphic performance, so you can enjoy state-of-the-art 3D computer games and High Definition (HD) movies with incredible performance and fidelity.
This impressive performance is all contained in notebooks that are as portable as they are powerful. All the Q Series notebooks are incredibly slim, for example the Q530, at just 27mm thick, is thinner than the average smartphone or digital camera, delivering slick and comfortable design with functions like USB and HDMI ports, a 3-in-1 card reader and even a built-in Optical Disk Drive (ODD). Weighing between 1.97 and 2.39 kilograms, the ultra-portable Q Series notebooks are also easy for anyone to carry, even for extended periods of time.
Battery life has a great impact on mobility so the Q Series features the latest technology for enhanced battery life. In fact, Q Series notebooks can be used for up to 6 hours (Shared GFX with 5,200mAh battery) or 7 hours (Shared GFX with 5,900mAh battery). Battery life can also be further boosted with Samsung's Extended Battery Life (EBL) solution.
Unmatched Connectivity
In line with increasing needs for seamless connectivity, the Q series laptops boast Samsung AllShare™, allowing users to control, search, swap and play videos, photos, and music across a full range of DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified Samsung devices, including cameras and mobile handsets. The technology makes it easy to stream HD content from your notebook to your TV or seamlessly share videos and photos with a phone, without the hassle of connecting cables.
With an ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection, the Q series can quickly copy files, images, music or share information with any other PC – an easy file sharing solution that will save time, whilst Bluetooth 3.0 High Speed ensures quick connectivity at 24 times the speed of Bluetooth 1.2.
Convenient Features
With all the Q Series notebooks, typing is made easy thanks to a new ergonomically-designed island keyboard that is as luxurious as it is comfortable, speeding up typing and preventing mistakes.
Samsung understands that a mobile lifestyle frequently involves the use of multiple devices. With the Q Series you have the ability to easily charge all your devices via USB. All the models in the Q Series offer Samsung's USB Sleep and Charge solution, which has the ability to charge devices such as mobile phones and MP3 players, even when the notebook is in sleep mode.
The Samsung Q530, Q430 and Q330 notebooks are expected to be available in the UK this month. Samsung also confirmed that the notebooks are heading to international markets as well. "samsung q530" Of the three models, the Samsung Q530 has got the best specs. It has a 15.6 inch LED backlit display with an aspect ratio of 16:9. It can be configured with Intel's Core i3 and i5 processors. You also get the GeForce GT330M discrete graphics with 1GB of dedicated DDR3 video memory. Other features include WiFi, DLNA, Bluetooth 3.0, built-in webcam, USB ports, memory card reader, optical drive and HDMI ports. The notebook also features Samsung's Extended Battery Life mechanism which will reportedly prolong the battery life to 7 hours. Not bad for a 15.6 inch desktop replacement laptop. The Samsung Q430 has more or less the specs as the Q530, but it features a smaller 14 inch display and weighs only 2.09kg. This machine is aimed at mobile professionals whose main concern is portability. The Samsung Q330 has a 13.3 inch display. It weighs 1.97kg. It is also powered by Intel's Core Series processors and NVIDIA GeForce 310M discrete graphics. The notebook features the NVIDIA Optimus technology for automatically switching between the integrated and discrete graphics options. All models in the new Samsung Q series are DLNA certified which means that they can seamlessly connect with other DLNA certified cameras or smartphones. No word on pricing at the moment.

After seven long, lonely years the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath have returned! They played their first show to a packed crowd at the 02 Academy, Birmingham, England on May 19. They played in preparation for their first festival appearance at the Download Festival in Donington Park.
Blabbermouth reported that the setlist was:
01. Into The Void
02. Under The Sun
03. Snowblind
04. War Pigs
05. Wheels Of Confusion
06. Electric Funeral
07. Black Sabbath
08. The Wizard
09. Behind The Wall Of Sleep
11. Fairies Wear Boots
12. Tomorrow's Dream
13. Sweet Leaf
14. Symptom Of The Universe (intro only)
15. Drum Solo
16. Iron Man
17. Dirty Women
18. Children Of The Grave
19. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (intro only)
20. Paranoid
However, all is not good in the world of Black Sabbath! Their drummer Bill Ward will not be playing with them throughout their shows this summer. In a statement that was published on Black-Sabbath.com he said: "I can't prioritize the Sabbath fans, making one show more important than the other. I can't do that. All of you are important. It's all the gigs or none at all. I can't come to Birmingham and "see what happens" knowing there is a risk of not being able to play Download or Lollapalooza. Again, for me, it's all or nothing. I had to say "no" to Birmingham on the principle of wanting to play all the shows."
Bill Ward won't be playing until a contract can be reached that is suitable for him. In reply to Bill's statement, Geezer Butler said: "Apparently, this wasn't acceptable to Bill's representatives; they wanted an amount that was so unrealistic that it seemed to have been a joke. So we resigned ourselves to doing Download without Bill, hoping he'd change his mind and at least make a guest appearance."
In his place stands Tommy Clufetos, who is part of lead singer Ozzy Osbourne's solo band.
However, without the original drummer Bill Ward, this will not be the Black Sabbath reunion that we were promised last November. After Download Festival, they will be playing next at the legendary Lollapalooza Festival from 3rd to 5th August.

I try to be as eco-friendly as possible in most areas of my life, but sometimes my penchant for procrastination overpowers my desire to be green. Example: pretty much every Christmas eve, when I realize I forgot to get any kind of gift-wrapping materials and end up buying a pile of made-in-China plastic gift bags at the dollar store and feeling terrible. This year I'm taking a different route and crafting some of these recycled newspaper gift bags. They're funky, colorful, earth-friendly, and almost free: what's better than that? [Yours Truly, G]

They're willing to sell anything to get these dumbasses into their graves…
Burger King made waves last week when it revealed a big slate of new menu items, which some said brought the chain's menu a lot closer to rival McDonald's. But now it looks like that was just the beginning of the changes afoot at the number three burger chain. A tipster wrote into GrubGrade to say that one Burger King in Nashville, Tenn., recently unveiled a whole host of menu items that have never before been spotted at the chain — including a new bacon sundae.
That's right: ice cream topped with bacon, the ultimate in low-brow culinary indulgence, is coming to Burger King. Or at least it's coming to one Burger King. Source
Honestly, how delicious can these really be?

More than 1,000 esteemed CitiBike members had their personal data, including credit card number and addresses, exposed due to a security breach. Gothamist obtained a letter issued to a biker named Cody from the program's owner NYC Bike Share LLC, which operates under the bank's name, that several users' information was exposed because of an URL error.
The letter was so slapdash and poorly crafted that it left him wondering whether it might all be a scam.
First off, the breach occurred on April 15 — and users were finally alerted of it more than three months later last Friday. He told Gothamist that the letter misidentified the last four digits of his credit card number and if his credit card information was stolen, he would've liked to known about it sooner.
Another letter also piqued Cody's interest since it was from CEO Michael Jones, somebody he's never heard of, and the makings were equally vague. "It doesn't say what company, and there was no letterhead, no address, no logo," he told Gothamist.
Donning his Nev Schulman suit, Cody searched online for his name and discovered that Mr. Jones is the president of Alta Bicycle Share, the owner of NYC Bike Share LLC.
Alta Bicycle Share told the Wall Street Journal that yep, the letter and the breach are both real but didn't disclose why it took so long to tell users. Those who signed up for the $95 annual membership (hello @Dens!) were affected:
"While there is no evidence that any personal information was maliciously accessed or misused, NYC Bike Share engaged a security firm to investigate and recommend appropriate steps to make notifications and safeguard its customers, including to provide identity and credit monitoring free of charge," a spokesman said.
Now Cody is starting to doubt the CitiBike program. "This is kind of starting to change my mind," he said to Gothamist. "I'm definitely skeptical of them as a company at this point."
Aren't we all?

During the final days of Arnold Schwarzenegger's term as governor of California, as he packed up the personal mementos decorating his Sacramento offices such as the Conan the Barbarian sword he kept in a case in his conference room and would occasionally brandish during budget negotiations one big question hung in the air, besides how to fix the state's $25 billion deficit. What would he do next? There were plenty of rumors. One claimed that Schwarzenegger might be appointed senior energy and climate adviser to President Obama, or maybe even energy secretary. Another asserted that he was being considered for Jack Valenti's old job as chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America. And, of course, yet another speculated that the guy who once made $30 million a picture might return to acting in more substantial roles than his cameo last summer in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables. Before he left office in January, the governor himself was sounding about as unsure of the future as his old Terminator pal Sarah Connor. ''Will I still have the patience to sit on a set and do a movie for three or six months, all of those things?'' Schwarzenegger, 63, said in a tweetcast back in October. ''I don't know.''
Today, EW can exclusively report that Arnold Schwarzenegger has finally figured out what's next for Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man who was recently in charge of the world's eighth-largest economy will be turning himself into a cartoon character. And not just any cartoon character, but the Governator, a sunglasses-wearing superhero with an Austrian accent who'll be at the center of an ambitious, kid-friendly multimedia comic-book and animated TV series codeveloped by no less a hero maker than Stan Lee. ''The Governator is going to be a great superhero, but he'll also be Arnold Schwarzenegger,'' the 88-year-old co-creator of Spider-Man explains. ''We're using all the personal elements of Arnold's life. We're using his wife [Maria Shriver]. We're using his kids. We're using the fact that he used to be governor. Only after he leaves the governor's office, Arnold decides to become a crime fighter and builds a secret high-tech crime-fighting control center under his house in Brentwood.''
The cartoon won't be arriving on TV until the end of 2012 (channel to be determined), and the comic book, which will be published by Archie in that brand's first attempt in decades to get in on the superhero game, is also months away (although a prototype will likely be ready to distribute at Comic-Con in San Diego this summer, and a separate online edition is also in the works). EW, however, got an early look at The Governator's ''bible,'' a 46-page illustrated prospectus more of a manifesto, really outlining virtually every aspect of the new endeavor, with details on everything from the Governator's weapons to his sidekicks. We also got to sit down with the guy who'll be lending his voice to the series, the actual, un-animated Arnold Schwarzenegger, for his first interview since leaving office.
''When I ran for governor back in 2003 and I started hearing people talking about 'the Governator,' I thought the word was so cool,'' Schwarzenegger says, leisurely lighting a cigar in his private-citizen offices in Santa Monica on a sunny March afternoon. The space isn't quite as historic as his old digs in the California State Capitol, but it does have a certain House of Wax-like charm. There's a life-size replica of Mr. Freeze from Batman & Robin, as well as a copy of Arnold's killer cyborg from the Terminator movies (also, oddly, especially for a Republican, an enormous stone bust of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, but more on that in the Q&A). ''The word Governator combined two worlds: the world of politics and the movie world,'' Schwarzenegger goes on between puffs. ''And [the cartoon] brings everything together. It combines the governor, the Terminator, the bodybuilding world, the True Lies.... Also, I love the idea of a control center below my house with a path so that boats and submarines can go right into the ocean. In the cartoon, my house is much closer to the beach than where we live, but, you know, it's a cartoon.''

So what must be done? At the very least, the U.S. needs to engage in protectionism in order to shield itself from unfair trade measures and currency manipulation from China. But this will never happen so long as the U.S. is controlled by a fascist regime. Instead, corporate profits will be placed ahead of domestic jobs. Accordingly, as long as the U.S. continues to embrace its fascist trade policy, there will no real recovery from the current depression for the vast majority of Americans."
Finally, reckless consumerism in the U.S. has fueled the demand required to keep much of the Chinese export engine running. This latter dynamic has also contributed to the loss of millions of American jobs. Wall Street analysts and economists working at the "most prestigious" universities have labeled the trend of millions lost jobs in the U.S. as "creative destruction" in order to mask the malignant nature of U.S. trade policy.
What's the relevance of this? I've already mentioned how these misconceptions have been plastered throughout the media by gold and foreign currency charlatans. But others are involved in this game of deception. For instance, talking heads posing as critics of America's fascist economy state that the U.S. cannot go up against the illegal practices being used by China to gain economic advantages over U.S. firms because China has too much leverage over the U.S. economy.
In reality, many of the same elements responsible for America's first Great Depression also led to the current Great Depression. In brief, both depressions resulted from the culmination of Wall Street fraud, lack of regulatory controls, and the knowledge held by the criminals that they would not be held accountable.

Pellet grills are a great compromise between a smoker and a gas grill. Pellet grills give food that smoky flavor but are as easy-to-use as a gas grill. These cookers feed small food-grade wood-pellets into a small burner via a turning auger. The heat cooks the food while the smoke from the pellets gives the food a fantastic BBQ flavor. Just load the hopper with pellets, turn on the grill, and walk away! Different types of pellets give the food different flavors. We carry a full-line of wood pellets for your pellet grill.

Thoughts that Occurred to Me While Watching 'Teen Wolf'
So I watched both hours of MTV's new Teen Wolf series which premiered last night. The show itself is not bad, if you're into the whole supernatural genre, and if you're into lacrosse, well, it's just about the laxiest thing I've ever seen on television, barring an actual game. The action isn't perfect, but one thing that is kind of cool is that the lacrosse is pretty integral to the plot. Here's what I thought while watching the show.

Early Settlements In Lawrence County
These came from the 1968 Lawrence County Sesquicentennial book .
It states information compiled with the assistance of
Philip Berkshire, Ernie Helms, Turk Waggoner, Warren Creech, Martin Mieure and others.
The county seat is a part of the old French claim of Toussaint Dubois, was platted by JohnDunlap the County Surveyor June 27 and 28, 1821 and was named after Captain James Lawrence. Lawrenceville was incorporated as a town on February 12, 1835, was organized as a village March 12, 1879 and incorporated as a city in 1895.
The first house within .the confines of Lawrenceville was built in 1816 by John Brigman. The Dubois brothers, Toussaint Jr. and Loire, sold the first merchandise in the city. At that time Lawrenceville was really a sugar camp with a few houses clustered beneath the sugar maples.
Early businesses included a distillery, a carding and fulling mill, a flour mill, slaughter house and a cabinet factory.
In addition to the Dubois brothers, early prominent men included Daniel Payne, Cyranus Cole, W. C. Price, Henry H. Shepherd, J. C. Reilly; the town trustees C. Cole, Clinton Abernathy, Silas Hale, Robert W. Musgrave, T. A. Curry, John Roberts; the village clerk Daniel L. Gold and the magistrate Wm. Robinson.
The first jail was built in 1821 ' and the first courthouse was erected in 1824.
Bridgeport was platted by David D. Lanterman and Aaron Shaw in the summer of 1854. It was incorporated as a town in 1865.
Samuel Thorn was the first merchant and George W. Cooper erected the first store after the town was platted. Other buildings were put up by Philip Gwines, Harry Gwines, James Lanterman and John and Henry Hill. The first hotel was erected in 1858 by Jackson Lamott.
Others associated with the early history of Bridgeport include Samuel H. and Rezin Clubb, Robert Drennen, William Martin, Thomas Fish, Samuel Newell, James Stewart, Dr. Samuel Hayes and Samuel L. Spencer.
A destructive fire in 1861 almost wiped out the business section of Bridgeport.
This village was the original site of an Indian town called Little Village. A number of Indian burial mounds existed in the area.
The town was laid out by David Price and surveyed and platted by S. Dunlap, the county surveyor, October 26, 27, 28, 1835. It was named in honor of August, Andrew and Clement Russell, three brothers from Kentucky who built a sawmill and manufactured the lumber for the first buildings in the town. The town was first incorporated in 1872.
Other early business included grist mills, a flouring mill, blacksmith shop and merchandising stores. Business men included George W. Toroman, Ferdinand Vanderburg, A. R. Slosson and David Price.
The first frame schoolhouse was built shortly after the town was laid out and was used until a two room building was built in 1861.
A frame church was built by the Christian denomination about 1845.
The first white child of American parents born in Lawrence County was E. P. Fyffe, born in Russellville, July 17, 1812. He died March 12, 1878.
Town of Chauncey
The town of Chauncey, situated in Petty Township, and located about a mile south of the Crawford County line was surveyed under the direction of William H. Brown, William Munn and Christian Loos proprietors, in December, 1854, and a plat map was made by Peter Smith, county surveyor.
The first house in Chauncey was built by John Bach who had a blacksmith shop. Luther Watts was the first merchant, moving there in 1860. Later Daniels and Waggoner opened a grocery store. A wagon shop was built around 1867, and wagons were manufactured for two years by William S. and Samuel Lyttle. Drug stores were owned by Daniel Patton and Dr. H. P. Smith. H. A. Murphy was one of the early doctors. In 1873 the post office was established with George D. Barnes as the first postmaster. Also around this time there were harness, saddle maker and shoemaker businesses. In addition during the years of Chauncey's existence there has been a scale yard, furniture store, coffin factory, undertaking parlor, apple butter and cider factory, general repair shops, doctor's offices, lodges, creamery, gas stations, restaurants and fertilizer plant.
The first school was a log building erected about 1/2 mile east of the town on the Munn property, with John Wilgus as teacher. It was later replaced in 1872 by a two story brick building within the town. The present building was built in 1912.
The Methodist Episcopal Church built a church in 1858 at a cost of $850.00. Trustees were William Munn, M. L. Watts, Henry Berkshire and Gilmore Flower.
The Methodist Protestant Chauncey Circuit, organized by William James in 1853, built a church in 1861 at a cost of $1,000. Early members in the church were J. B. Stout, Eliza Stout, Andrew Mushrush, Christina Mushrush, Christian Loos, Isabel Loos, Jacob Waggoner, Maria Waggoner and Richard Bach.
The town situated on the Embarrass River was laid out by Asahel Heath, March 22, 1837.
At one time it contained two dry goods and two grocery stores, a blacksmith and wagon shop, and a grist mill.
It is no longer in existence.
Birds Station
Birds Station was surveyed and platted by J. B. Benefiel, county surveyor and was filed for record September 10,1878.
In this year, Isaac Baldridge built the first frame house at which he kept the post office.
Other merchants were W. N. Cochrane (dry goods) and Lindsay and Bristow (drug store).
Pinkstaff Station
Pinkstaff Station was surveyed and platted by J. B. Benefiel in February 23, 1877.
An early merchant was T. J. Pinkstaff. Alonzo Eaton was the first postmaster.
Olean, in Bond Township, was laid out by George W. White in the spring of 1882. The only business was a grocery store.
This village is extinct.
The town of Billett was laid out by Jake Castle, but was named Billett some 'time after when John Billett started a store in a building which had been built by the railroad company. Billett also built the first dwelling house.
Lumbering was the major occupation in the beginning, however when the land was cleared, people began to farm.
Thomas Bussee built a grist mill northeast of Billett. in 1860. This remained in existence until 1880. The burrs from this mill were later moved in 1935 to the campus of L.T.H.S. where they were placed in the form of a love seat. They are still there.
Early merchants in Billett included John Billett, Red Pinkstaff, John Ratcliff, Patrick Murphy, Walter Seed, Mack Crounh and Luther Shorts. Later merchants were John Meyers, J. T. Williams, Thomas B. England, George Wiseman, Samuel and Alexander Biehl, Samuel Robbins, Harrison Belt and others.
The first school, a one room school with log seats and taught by Delia Hill, was opened in 1882. It was in existence only 4 years. The next school built in 1886 was known as the red school house. It was built of tin and was painted a bright red. This was sold in 1910 to be used as a barn. A new school building was started in 1910.
The first church in the Billett area was one built northwest of Billett and was named after Frank M. Ackman who gave a large sum of money toward its construction. It was of the United Brethren denomination.
In 1890 the Billett Methodist Church was dedicated. Individuals involved in the building of this church included George W. Mills and his wife Lucy, Gardner Barnhart, Thomas England, Senior, George Leighty, Solomon Laurence, Albert Tougaw, Clay Emory, James Laurence, Albert Rhine and others. Miss Annie Akin was the first organist.
St. Francisville
Joseph Tugaw, a pioneer Frenchman, moved from Vincennes, Indiana in 1804 to the site where St. Francisville now stands. He was followed in 1809 or 1810 by his brother, Francis Tugaw.
The village, situated on the Wabash river, was laid out in 1835 or 1836 by Frances Tugaw, the widow of Joseph Tugaw. The plot file was recorded in 1837. St. Francisville was first incorporated as a town in 1869, and the first election of officers was held February 27th of that year. In January, 1873 the town was incorporated as a village.
Mason Jones built the first blacksmith shop shortly after 1836, while Jackman's saw and grist mill was built about 1837. The post office was in this building about 1840
The first known school was operated by Decudra, a Catholic priest, in a frame building built by him. School was taught by two nuns. This school was in existence until about 1873.
A Catholic church house was built about 1835.
George Rogers Clark crossed the Wabash River near St. Francisville in February 1779 in his march from Kaskaskia to Vincennes to capture Fort Sackville from the British.
The original settlement of the people of Sumner was two miles west of the present town. This village was laid out in 1853 and was known as Fertile City. On the site stood a horse-mill and a general store. The village became extinct after the building of the 0 & M Railroad.
The City of Sumner was organized in 1854 and was named after the first permanent settler in Christy Township, Benjamin Sumner.
The first building in the town was a small one-story frame house. In 1855 Jacob May placed a stock of goods in it and thus became the first village merchant.
At one time Sumner was quite flourishing. Early businesses including a carding mill, two hotels, a livery barn where driving and riding horses could be rented by the public, a drayage business, produce stores, three mills, a harness shop, two blacksmith shops which also did horse-shoeing, a wood carving shop and a photographic studio.
Merchants included Jacob May, McKelfresh and Martin, Willard Morgan, Thomas Harper, Arch Bolding, Dr. William Friend, B. L. Cunningham, and John S. Barekman among others. James Wagner was an early editor of the Sumner Press.
The first church building was the Christian Church and was built about 1864.

The day is finally here. Dwight Howard makes his return to Orlando after getting traded to the Los Angeles Lakers during the offseason. Were the Magic right to send him to the Lakers? Should Magic fans boo or cheer him? Which team is headed for a brighter future?
Our 3-on-3 panel breaks it all down ahead of Tuesday night's highly anticipated showdown.
1. Fact or Fiction: Trading Howard was the right move.
Nate Drexler, Magic Basketball: Fact. It just wasn't working out and everyone with a pulse knew it. It's not going to help you in the long run to hang on to an asset who doesn't want to be there in the first place. Good riddance.
Danny Nowell, Portland Roundball Society: Fact. In a perfect world, many things go differently, and the Magic ride a truly remarkable coaching and talent tandem to a long and fruitful period of contention. But this ain't that world and the way things soured, moving on was best for everybody.
Noam Schiller, Magic Basketball: Fact. Assuming the alternative was Dwight leaving in free agency. With no apparent chance at keeping him by the time the deal went down, the Magic were facing rebuilding regardless. Jumpstarting the process by one year and some decent assets was the right move.
2. Boo or cheer: What should Magic fans do?
Drexler: I'm not the type of guy who boos. Clever cheer? Sure! Silent treatment? Even better. But booing is a little passe for my taste. It's the cliche thing to do. That being said, I fully expect Magic fans to boo.
Nowell: Boo. I don't, to be honest, have much opinion here. Eventually fans ought to cheer Dwight, but booing is within their rights and what I'll imagine they do so soon after the departure debacle, so let 'em fly, Orlando.
Schiller: This is a cop out, but I don't think there's a right answer. Does an acrimonious exit and a 12 month Dwightmare overshadow a magnificent tenure that included the franchise's first Finals win? I don't know. Every fan in Amway Center will have to calculate that for him or herself.
3. Magic or Lakers: Better in three years?
Drexler: Lakers. I'm going to go ahead and assume L.A. will have an easier time acquiring good players in the next three years, and because the draft class next year is so weak at the top, I'm giving the edge to the Lakers.
Nowell: Lakers. Honestly, the Magic are probably better positioned roster-wise right now. But in the history of the league, betting against the Lakers is a sucker's bet, and with massive money coming off the books in a few years and an extremely lucrative TV deal, I doubt the Lakers fear the tax man as much as we'd assume.
Schiller: Lakers. Barring Dwight becoming the first top NBA player to unprecedentedly leave Los Angeles, and/or the Magic striking gold in the draft, I don't see how the Magic can build anything to trump the league's top center and a market to draw any available free agent within three years.

Two Con-way Inc. subsidiaries are launching a new intermodal service focused on U.S.-Mexico trade.
"With changing global trade patterns and the rise in near-sourcing, Mexico is increasingly a location of choice for manufacturing and distribution," said Saul Gonzalez, president of Con-way Truckload, in a written statement. The Con-way unit already operates in Mexico through its CFI Logistica subsidiary; it has 10 offices and an extensive drayage network in the country.
Con-way Multimodal is the other partner in the offering, which the company says will work with all major Class I railroads and provide nationwide intermodal service.

|What are your thoughts on serving alcohol at a church event off-site? Or thoughts on a church getting a liquor license? Evening would consist of social hour (6-7), dinner (7-8) and then a comedy program by a church member's relative. Only beer and wine served (requiring liquor license). Alcohol serving would stop around 9pm. Would you as a member or would your church, members or locale go along with it? Seeking biblical perspective, social reasons, balancing respect of disapproving founding church members w/ attempt to attract younger crowd, health & safety perspective, etc.

|"members w/ attempt to attract younger crowd"
When you say younger crowd, I'm assuming you mean the 20 & 30 somethings right?
I'm not a religious person so my .02 cents probably won't mean much, but I think there should be a better way to attract people in general to your event. I just think if someone wants to be there, they will be there regardless of their age demographic and the reason shouldn't be because alcohol will be served; it should be because that's where they want to be, period. IMO, by trying to entice attendance with alcohol, you're sending the wrong message.
Another thought is, a church is supposed to set an example and is often a refuge of support for people with drinking and drug problems. Again, in that regard, I think it would be sending the wrong message if a Church held a liquor license and sold liquor.
|I have no problem with a church offering beer and wine at certain events.
The beer booth at the Catholic School Carnivals (Church property) that we have helped with have always been big money making concessions (specially when the beer is donated).
Wine is often available at the church spaghetti dinners, usually with no set price..a sign asking for a donation is set on the bar.
I don't think restaurants even need a license to sell beer or wine here in Florida.

|I think if you want to look at it biblicaly, at least how I would see it, the things that attract people (all ages) are when God shows up and does amazing things. So as a church, I think the perspective is to seek God in such a way that He does do something phenomenal. But that's boring to most.
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Fri, Mar 16, 12 at 13:30
|We are Unitarian so my opinion is skewed by that. There are a number of times a year that wine/beer is served in our main bldg and also at events that are representing our fellowship that are held off site. We never charge or except donations so no license needed.
My only comment on the event your church is planning is the part about attracting a younger crowd with alcohol. I think that is a very very poor idea. Alcohol is already a huge problem in this country and especially with young people. Living in a college town for over 30 years and having 3 children has given me a very conservative outlook concerning alcohol consumption. If that is being used as a primary motivation for having alcohol then I would vote a resounding NO to it. c
|Your question made me think. Do the KC's need a liquor license for their beer tent or selling canned beer at a festival? We served champagne at our wedding reception held in the church gathering space. I don't have an issue with a casual use of liquor at church..but a license just sounds wrong to me. There is a fine line between personal choices i.e. having a wedding toast and institutional approval. A license and weekly/monthly event, I would vote no.
|How is serving alcohol an attempt to attract a younger crowd? As a member of a church you're either inclined to attend something like that or not. If drinking is your main incentive there are much easier ways to accomplish that.
And there's always going to be a group against it ... founding members or not.
|It would never come up at my church - it's just not something that is going to happen. I agree with what Lukki said about a church setting an example. I think it would shed a negative light on the church. Granted, I would hope someone is not going to have too much to drink at a church function, but who knows? I'm assuming there will be children there. It needs to be thought about what kind of message this is sending them. Also, the liability if someone did drink (too much) and drive. . .
Just my thoughts.
|OK, I'll expand a little.
This is the first time the liquor topic has even been approached by our church. We invited in 10 couples to give ideas and plan a spring event ( mostly couples who don't usually get asked). Only 3 of the couples consented to help. We're a dying rural church & town. The "community" idea is gone. This event is an idea they came up with. It's definitely stretching the limits for our Lutheran church. Since money is exchanging hands, we've been told we need a liquor license in our state. We need to cover for the meal & comedian costs.
The Catholic church in our town has held similar events in the past but skirted the liquor license by just charging for the meal, inviting people to bring in their own bottle & "magically" having a glass of wine show up with each person's dinner. We're too by-the-rule to do that.
This committee's thought was that a social hour prior to the meal and comedian (from NY) would provide mingling and fellowship. It seems like alcohol is served at most evening events that are held around here, and many people leave the Saturday night service to go down to the bar for a burger and beer, but this is a first for our church. Nearest nice restaurant is 45min away.
A few years ago we had an auction to raise money (all items donated) and although we made money, many items brought far below what they were worth because everyone is so practical and serious. It was fine, but businesslike, limited laughter and fun even though we tried.
On the one hand we have the older, matriarchs & patriarchs of the church (70-80's range) who always do everything but are getting tired of doing it. So, we brought in a different younger group (35-50 range) for ideas. Our 20-30 church crowd is really limited. We don't have many "young" people in our very rural area so when I say young it's all relative.
I've heard the older crowd is absolutely against it; but the next generation group that's planning it is like "you asked us for ideas, if you don't like it then don't ask us again and you can continue to have coffee and cookies and pie socials."
I'm fine with a glass of wine and don't think it will get carried away. But it's obviously a divisive topic.

|Hilltop, I'm not a church goer so I can't really give any valid perspective.
But I want to say I admire very much how your congregation is trying to think outside the normal boundaries, and trying to work together to figure out ways to stay true to your ideals while increasing your numbers.
|Instead of saying attracting a younger crowd, I maybe should have phrased it that we're just trying to have a little fun and do something different to show we're not a bunch of stodgy old folk. Personally I think the whole thing is rather ironic. I'd bet 90% of the group might have a beer or glass of wine now and then. We have other meetings/gatherings with wine & beer at our Pastor's home and other church leader homes. Seems hypocritical to make others think our entire church is a bunch of tea-teetotalers.
Yes, runninginplace we're trying. We have a Saturday night service & Sunday AM service, both of which attract a unique group, even in our small town. We were trying to come up with an event that all might enjoy attending, but seem to have opened up a different can of worms.
|If I were you, I would try it at least once. But then, I'm not a church-goer. But then again, maybe I'm who you are looking to attract.
|I'm a First Christian and I attend the Catholic Church at times. Long story.
My town is divided between Lutherans and Catholics. The Catholics constantly have liquor on the premises, whether it's a wedding reception on the Church grounds, or the KoC summer carnival, where beer can be bought. The Lutherans don't.
Now I'm no prude..maybe I am as I've gotten older, but it kind of bothers me that alcohol is used on Church grounds.
Know what I would do? I's call the State liquor license place and simply ask them. You don't have to say who you are, just ask how Catholics can sell beer on their grounds, and if they get liquor licenses.
But for any Church to get a liquor license just doesn't seem right. It's a place where we should be able to go and feel safe instead of being around a bunch of drunks which always happens.
May Peace be with you. :)
|I don't have an opinion either way but think you should make sure what the liability of the church would be if someone got a DUI etc. on the way home.
My SIL is CEO of a business and the company hires Taxis for their employees at company parties if alcohol is going to be present.
|Seems like some of you are hung up by the church "getting a liquor license". They are not getting a license allowing them to serve liquor like a bar or restaurant. It is probably like an "event license" that allows them to serve liquor at functions and yes, they should have the liab insurance that you get for those events also. My church serves wine at dinners and I have never seen anyone overindulge. Well, maybe at the annual auction, but that is adults only, no kids in attendance. I see the point to not having alcohol part of every church social, but aren't they talking about one event? I bet it would be well attended and folks would have fun!
|It's a single event ... I say go for it. What have you got to lose?
I was raised Lutheran. When my mom passed away a few years ago we could have opted to have a funeral reception at the church, but opted for a private room at one of her favorite local restaurants where liquor was served. It made for a more relaxed setting. And sounds like that's what you're shooting for.
|Not sure why this would be an issue, unless the particular sect doesn't allow consumption of alcohol.
|Jesus' first miracle was to transform water into wine....to me that is the ultimate seal of Christian approval. I am Episcopalian and we have wine at our dinners, sherry at teas and other drinks at other events. We've never had to obtain a license, it is just part of the meal--- it isn't sold. Good luck with your venture!

|"It would never come up at my church - it's just not something that is going to happen. I agree with what Lukki said about a church setting an example. I think it would shed a negative light on the church. Granted, I would hope someone is not going to have too much to drink at a church function, but who knows? I'm assuming there will be children there. It needs to be thought about what kind of message this is sending them. Also, the liability if someone did drink (too much) and drive. . ."
|But if the church doesn't believe drinking alcohol is a sin, or wrong, there is no bad example being set, is there? I'm not trying to be contentious, just curious as to why alcohol at a church function would set a bad example .
|Since this is not a religion that forbids the consumption of alcohol the arguments, against it, that some express here are a non-issue.

|The OP original question was,"What are your thoughts on serving alcohol at a church event off-site? Or thoughts on a church getting a liquor license?" "Would you as a member or would your church, members or locale go along with it?"
- Posted by sheesharee (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 22:13
|wasn't done posting...
I'm rather confused then why the OP would ask the question about alcohol. If it's a non issue then it should be fine.
|I'm the OP. More update. Committee met to discuss and plan the event. During the meeting discussion of liquor license, I called the Council Chair to inform him of the possible event. I'm Vice-Chair. Due to the timeline, the committee got town board approval to apply for liquor license BEFORE the church council met; they meet this next week. So, town board gets approval and small town newspaper puts it on front page that church is applying for liquor license. Remember it's a small town and this gets people talking. Council meets this next week and needs to give approval. Apparently some older (lifelong, contributing) members are threatening to leave if it moves forward. They've nothing more to talk about. I don't really care one way or another. I think it might help to make the event more successful. I didn't realize it would be that big of a deal, but apparently to the older crowd (and I'm 55 and a younger member) it represents a shift in the principles or direction of our local church group.
So, there's no written reason why alcohol can't be served, just small town politics and concern over public impression.
|Another thought...if you have a liquor license, you would have to have some type of liability insurance, too, wouldn't you? Liability insurance for anyone serving liquor is very expensive.
|Marigene, haven't seen you in forever! Are you still blogging?
|Down here, folks get drunk after church...

|Ha! That's how it was when we lived in the south! LMAO Thanks for the laugh Sweeby!!
|A few years back I went to a church fair and the most popular priest at that church was walking around with a beer and cigarette. That really turned me off. I just don't think it's appropriate for a priest to be smoking and drinking in public. What he does in private is between him and his boss. He's suppose to be setting an example and I found that in very poor taste.

|It really is a complicated issue! Jesus certainly did turn water into wine and Timothy is told to take a little wine for his stomach but drunkenness is clearly labeled a sin.
We all know the devastating effects of alcoholism which effects so many people.
Personally, I think taking the higher road, and setting an example and also, not being a hindrance is the better way to do things. It's not because I'm a traditionalist but because I have an alcoholic in my life.
I have seen and experienced the results of my having a glass of wine in front of them. But for that person, it is interpreted as "Well, if they're going to have a drink, so will I!" and of course, it doesn't stop with one or two drinks.
Perhaps it is easy to say, why should their problems hinder me? But as Christians we are to walk in love at all times, do unto others, etc. and if I can prevent a Christian who is having a difficult time managing, not slip further, than I have a responsibility to do so.
And, I think church activities should be a safe haven for all those who need to live a clean life.
|Hilltop, so did it make headlines yet? What a shame it has to become a control issue by some. Reminds me of the current crop of GOP candidates waging their war on women.
|I think Bumblebeez pretty much says it all. Thanks
|First off, I'll say that we're Catholic, so there's never been a problem having beer/wine at events. It's just THERE. No big deal--even at school-related functions. Generally our Knights of Columbus run the beer tent or bar or whatever.
In Indiana we are required to get a temporary permit to sell alcohol AND ALSO the servers are required to be licensed bartenders. Many of the Knights are, so it's pretty much a non-issue. My husband is. It's not a big deal to get one.
My sister is also minister at a Disciples of Christ church and they have no issue regarding alcohol at church events. You want to, you do. If you don't, you don't. No big deal.
I think that it depends on the church community's general philosophy as a whole. There will probably be dissenters--vocal dissenters, so I would be prepared for some backlash.
I personally do not see it as a problem, though. Being religious and drinking alcohol are not mutually exclusive.
|Follow-up: The committee and the council mutually agreed that having a social hour with alcohol was creating too much controversy and so we dropped the idea. We'll have a meal and comedy show.
Personally I felt it could be done tastefully and responsibly so that we could have one drink and set an example that people can have fellowship with a drink without getting drunk, but it will have to be a different time and different place, not at our church event.
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 23:07
|Technically, alcohol is a part of the Roman Catholic service, even if you believe is transubstantiation.
|I have to say, I am not Christian nor a church-goer (I would go, but my whole time is spent trying to keep my kids busy but quiet, so no . . .), but the idea of a comedy show is GREAT. I am tired of people needing/wanting alcohol to "relax" and "have fun." Laughter is a much better way!
Side note-- according to a doctor I know, fetal alcohol syndrome is worse than any other kind of drug addiction that a baby could have. Interesting, huh?

Women of Color Task Force
Mae Jemison, WCTF keynote speaker, March 7, 2014
Thank you for making the 2014 WCTF Annual Career Conference a wonderful day and a great success. Click here for historical information on the 2014 WCTF Conference
WCTF Events
The Women of Color Task Force is a staff organization, founded in 1979 at the University of Michigan, that provides professional development opportunities for employees, with a special focus on women of color staff. For more than 35 years, the Task Force has served as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of women of color staff at the University of Michigan and as a focal point for action necessary for the resolution of their concerns.
Any University of Michigan employee is eligible for membership in the Task Force if she or he is an active, regular staff, faculty, research fellow, or retiree. The Task Force encourages the participation of individuals from all University of Michigan departments and units who wish to promote the professional and personal development of women of color staff. 2014-2015 WCTF members
The 2013-2014 Executive Team is Charlotte Young Bowens, Gwen Brown, Marlanna Landeros, Latreece Taylor, and Janice Reuben, WCTF Program Coordinator.
General Membership Meetings
Women of Color Task Force meetings are held monthly on Thursdays, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm at two locations: Palmer Commons, 6th Floor Boardroom 5; and DAAS-Haven Hall Room 4701. Please contact WCTF Coordinator Janice Reuben at 734.764..6005 about membership or email Janice at firstname.lastname@example.com. A schedule of meetings for the 20-14 -2015 academic year is provided on this webpage.
Career & Personal Development Workshops
The Task Force offers career development workshops for its members throughout the year. These sessions cover topics in the following areas: career development, project management, leadership development, health & wellness, and work-life balance. WCTF alos conducts an annual retreat that features interactive trainings and conference planning sessions. For more information about these workshops, please see the meeting schedule.
Staff Mentoring
The Task Force believes that creating opportunities to share experiences and exchange knowledge fosters professional success and personal excellence. In order to produce those opportunities and conduits for sharing, the Task Force provides mentoring to its members.
The goals of the program are to:
Promote leadership development and increase professional skills & specific competencies, provide information and direction to identify and achieve career goals; and establish a network of support services for staff.
Woman of the Year Awards Program
The Task Force implemented a second major program initiative in 1986 - the Woman of the Year Awards Program. This program is designed to honor women of color staff and faculty who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of leadership (outstanding service as a project leader, administrator, or peer leader), human relations (improved group dynamics within the University community, at the unit level or beyond) and community relations.
In 2011, the awards were renamed in honor of the two founders of the Task Force: the Beulah Sanders Stafford Leadership Award and the Jennie Partee Human Relations Award.
A Task Force selection committee reviews the nominations submitted by the deans, department chairs, and directors of academic and research units to determine the winners of the leadership and human relations awards. The Rebecca A. Vaughn Distinguished Service Award is bestowed upon a Task Force member for exemplary service and dedication. Nominations for each award category are accepted from October to February each year, and the winners are announced during the opening session of the annual career conference. Download the award criteria and nomination form. (PDF and MSWord files)

Cliff (December 24, 1988)
For the first two years of Choose Life Ministries existence I was the youth speaker/tech guy. I really enjoyed the traveling and the sharing of the truth. In May of 2006 I felt God's call to attend Clear Creek Baptist Bible College the following year. I graduated from home schooling in March of 2007 and started my freshmen year at Clear Creek the following August. I feel that God wants me to attend the school for four years to get my Bachelor's degree. Then, I'm not sure where God would have me go. As I am writing this I have finished my first year at Clear Creek and I am traveling with CLM for the summer. I plan on continuing the summer traveling for the remainder of the time I am in school. I am excited to get to travel and speak to youth again. I have really missed it; it is so exciting to see the excitement of some youth groups and the fire they have for the truth. I hope that in my future ministry opportunities, God will have me work with youth. But for now I know this is where God wants me to be.
My favorite scripture is Romans 5:6-9: For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly. For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.
2011 Update- Cliff has completed his degree in Missions. June 20,2010 he married his sweetheart Marjorie, who will complete her degree in Missions at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in 2012. They have answered God's call to go to the nation of Turkey.
2014 Update – Cliff and Marjorie are currently living in Pasadena, CA as Cliff is working on his Master's degree in missions at Fuller Theological Seminary.

I have shot federal .410 loads for years. The high brass loads have had no problems ejecting with all shotguns that I own. It has been a great load for grouse and quail. Being 2 1/2 inch shell all .410 shotguns are ready for this great load.Shot size #6 had been the best choice of shot for these birds. I highly recommend this product.Agnew Jr of Layton, UT - April, 21 2011:
I bought this to shoot grouse and quail. I own two .410 shotguns. It worked great out of both guns. The shot size #6 worked great on grouse and very well on quail. I highly recommend this product.

- " The Harmony Hostel was a great price for an amazing location. Centrally located within a few minute walking distance to numerous cultural sites. I spent 4 nights here and met some amazing people within the common space on the rooftop. Free breakfast and some amazing dinners at night made this an awesome experience. The staff are so friendly and made the time spent there a lot of fun. Definitely would stay here again. "

- " HAM,USA:if you choose this hostel,you will be in the Historical place of Istanbul-no need transportation,the hostel is close to Ayasofia(is seen from the top roof of the hostel,next to it is the Blue masjid,also is close to the grand bazaar,and close to grand canal where Bosphorus the famous bridge is connecting the European and Asian sides(is seen from the top roof).the top roof is a nice place to pass the night if you like to smoke some hookah.the stuffs are so helpful and kind.free breackfest "

- " Istanbul Harmony Hostel is a great place to stay and an excellent value. The location couldn't be better: close to all the main tourist attractions in the old city, cool neighborhood and close to public transport for other areas. The breakfast is delicious and the rooftop terrace is such a fun place to relax and has excellent wifi. Ihab and Shaki do a great job of making you feel welcome and fostering a fun environment. "

- " was the best hostel I've ever stayed, cleaning, security, unbeatable location, the Staff makes you feel at home, rather than facilitators has come to be friends. common areas may not have the best view, and are conducive to interact with the other guests. Point to improve internet connection does not reach the rooms but is negligible compared to the experience in Harmony. Shaker and Martyna are the best ;) "
- 03 Aug 2014 Roberto Panama
- " Not a good place to stay. Under average. Dirty, nothing really works, old and not taken care of. Thin old building, 4 stores with nice terrace, no development of service, just a bunk were to sleep, few AC work. Good big bathrooms but very slippery. Excellent location, on the tramway literally, near everything. Would NOT recomend. Owner in the shadows, drinking beer. A door to a corridor, between two shops, stairs...not like it. Directions to get to the Hostel not at all clear. "

They know much about the area and always give useful information. The terrace is awesome with great view and great atmosphere. I strongly recommend this hostel to everyone!! "

- " Spent 4 nights at his hostel and it is really located on the best place, literally close to the most important attractions, such as Topkapi Palace, Ayasofya and Blue Mosque. The price is great considering the above mentioned and also includes breakfast. The staff is great and friendly, so I'd recommend everyone else who needs a cheap accommodation in the old town of Istanbul. "

It's been another busy week of sports in Oldham County with more youth sports getting started and high school teams looking to the post-season.
Catch another edition of this week's Sports Primer again in podcast format.
Each week, you can find an updated podcast with a rundown on the content in The Oldham Era's sports section, plus any other updates.
Thousands of people from across the country flock to Akron, Ohio, each July to participate in the All-American Soap Box Derby race.
The race is the Super Bowl of a sport in which children race unpowered fiberglass cars down hills in less than 30 seconds.
Even in Bowling Green, the event covers two days because of the hundreds of youth participants. There are nine races in Kentucky.
LEXINGTON — Sitting in my car outside Keeneland race course in Lexington late Saturday morning, I worried the day would be a disaster.
Rain poured and I didn't bring a rain coat.
By the end of the day, I experienced one of the most exciting days of my life. I took in a day of luxury and a chance meeting with the owners of one of the favorites to win the Kentucky Derby.
But judging by the dark, overcast sky that morning, it seemed a long shot.
LEXINGTON — Sitting in a corporate box April 14 at Keeneland race course, Jerry Crawford kept smiling and shaking his head remembering the day he bought the thoroughbred, Dullahan, at the same place a year and a half earlier.
Crawford paid $250,000 for Dullahan at the September 2010 Keeneland sale and said many around him thought he'd just bought a Kentucky Derby winner.
Crawford is one step closer to that victory.
BUCKNER — For five innings, Oldham County High School junior pitcher Jessica Leanhart cruised through the South Oldham High School softball team's lineup.
The Lady Dragons mustered a late run, but posed little threat in a 9-1 win for the Lady Colonels Thursday night.
Leanhart pitched five innings, striking out 10 and allowing just one hit.
Guys and gals, welcome to our 19th Grand Stamm — LIVE! chat, set for 12 p.m. Friday, April 20.
With baseball and softball getting underway all around the country, this week's chat fits right in.
We'll be having a roundtable discussion with members of the North Oldham Little League, coming off their World Series appearance and with the grand opening and parade at 8:45 a.m. I've invited president Brad Clifford and any board member or coach to chat with us, so feel free to ask any questions or post your thoughts!
It's been another busy week of sports in Oldham County as schools are back from spring break and the Kentucky Derby nears next month.
Whitfield named all-state
South Oldham High School senior guard Jasmine Whitfield has been named first-team all-state selection by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches.
Whitfield, who has signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Cincinnati, averaged 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.4 steals and 2.5 assists per game this season.
She set the school record for points in a season, with 720 and steals, with 173.
Basketball is more than just a game.
For each of the Oldham County High School basketball team's home games the past two seasons, one voice has helped energize those involved in the game and those watching it.
OCHS junior Tyler Anderson is the team's public address announcer, creator of highlight tapes and host of the school's student-produced television newscast.
An aspiring broadcaster, Anderson said he volunteered to take the public address duties as a way to stay connected to sports and gain experience in his career pursuit.
For the past 13 years, two La Grange women have walked the same route.
As long as they deem the weather to be favorable, no snow, rain or cold air, Kentrena Story and Vivian Jones-Wright, employees at the Oldham County Sheriff's Office make the same walk twice a day, five days a week from the office to La Grange Elementary School and back.

2012 Audi TT RS Test Drive
Audi hasnt sold a car badged with its high-performance RS label in the U.S. since 2008. But now the 2012 TT RS is coming to America. Does the more muscular TT have the power to rival a Porsche?
By Ben Stewart
Tech Tidbit : Audis 2.5-liter TFSI engine is incredibly compact and relatively light at 403 pounds. The water-cooled turbocharger uses a separate oil supply and develops 17.4 psi. That helps it to produce a rather heady 145 hp per liter of engine displacement. And because the turbo is directly flanged to the engine, Audi says (and we can confirm) there is almost no lag.

The Making of…
Sorry it's been a while but I was busy receiving gifts in between shoving delicious little cookies in my eager little face. Now I feel ill so I thought this might distract me from all of that mirth. Since I have been a little wrapped up in myself and my baby twin sisters (a.k.a. the "Twinkies") I thought I might take this time to post some of the drawings that went into the making of Full Moon Forest. I have been assured that this will be interesting to others. I am not so sure. Anywhoo, here they are. From drawing to cotton there isn't a whole lot that changes. I take the drawings, scan them and drop them into Illustrator where I redraw them digitally so I can play with the line weights, change out colors and adjust the sizing. That's about it. So, enjoy the drawings maybe next time I will make them more colorful or jazz them up a bit, decoupage on them or something.
