View our video at YouTube --- VRBO #56877 Lawton Oaks, Sea Pines
Our 3000 square foot, 4 BR, 3 BA house was built in 2000. The house is close to the horse stables and in the center of the plantation. It is located on a quiet residential street with the most beautiful live oak trees in Sea Pines. Our home has a gold designation as an upscale, well-appointed house with a designer touch that includes excellent furnishings, special features and top quality amenities.
It is an easy bike ride to the beach and is 5 minutes by car to the Sea Pines Beach Club. The house is centrally located as it is equally close to the Sea Pines Gate, Harbor Town and the Sea Pines Beach Club. The Sea Pines Beach Club has a life guard on duty. It also has an ocean front bar, snack bar/restaurant serving lunches and dinners. The bathrooms and showers are kept very clean.
The house is on a large beautiful landscaped lot situated on a tidal creek affording the opportunity to fish and crab from our own private dock. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed from the screened in porch that overlooks the tidal creek. Relax in the private swimming pool or better yet rent a kayak and paddle from your own dock through the marsh to the inter coastal. This is a leisurely 30 minute paddle (one way) depending on how much wild life you see.
The house has a very open spacious feeling to it. The great room/ kitchen area is very large. The dining room table can easily seat 12 people. There are also two baby high chairs for your use. The kitchen is very ample and four people can easily prepare food at the same time without feeling cramped. The kitchen has beautiful granite countertops including a granite island that seats four people. The great room is equipped with a nice size television along with a DVD.
Each of our four bedrooms has a television and telephone. The master bedroom suite has a king-size bed with a TV. On the same side of the house is a bathroom and very large bonus room that sleeps four. It has 2 queens beds and a baby crib. The other two bedrooms are on the other side of the house and share one bathroom. One room has a queen. The other bedroom has the two twin beds and a baby crib. Each bedroom is very comfortable in size.
Our house also has a pool and tennis facilities nearby. The gas grill purchased in 2014, in the pool area. We also have high speed wireless internet for your computer needs.

We have vacationed in Hilton Head and always in Sea Pines for 38 years.
We were most impressed with your delightful home. It accomodated our family of 8 with ease. The house is both functional and beautiful. We hope to return some day. We noticed your Pittsburgh connection.
"It is the perfect place for a vacation alone or with family groups. There are activities for everyone without going out of Sea Pines."

"We love spending time on the dock. We fish, crab and kayak from it. All meals are on the screened in porch when the weather is agreeable. It is a wonderful house for a group of people to share. It is open yet has space to spread out. The pool is safe for children and perfect to cool off on the hot summer days. We are in the center of Sea Pines. Therefore it is easy to go anywhere in the community quickly. In 5 minutes you are at the shopping area, and buying the quart of milk that you need. Or you can walk to the horse stables to visit the horses or farm animals. Also it is a quick walk to Harbor Town."

DOWNLOAD: Gorgeous New Neon Indian Track
SPIN picked Austin, TX, electronic mastermind Neon Indian, aka Alan Palomo, as an Artist to Watch in 2010 for his colorful debut Psychic Chasms. He'll return with his second album, Era Extraña, on September 13. Good news: The first album track just dropped online. Download "Fallout" here. So what do we learn? That "chillwave" really is the best name for Palomo's music. With glistening new wave synths and '80s-style dream-pop melodies (think Cocteau Twins), "Fallout" is more "chill" than Spicoli with a buzz. Its watery computer effects and digital loops roll in like a "wave," too, as Palomo sings something that sounds romantic and poignant, but is buried beneath an ocean of Enya-esque fizzling, rendering his words mysterious, too.
WATCH: Cameron Crowe's Pearl Jam Doc Clip
Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical classic Almost Famous recreates his time as a teenage rock journalist for Rolling Stone magazine. The director's latest film venture in the music world is the documentary Pearl Jam Twenty, whose trailer hit the web today. Premiering October 21 on PBS, Pearl Jam Twenty collects rare and unseen footage of the Seattle alt-rock band as part of their 20th anniversary celebration, which also includes a star-studded festival in September. Good news: Crowe manages in just a two-and-a-half-minute trailer to make the quintet's career seem vital - even to the guy who asks, "'Jeremy,' who?" The trailer opens with filmmaker David Lynch asking frontman Eddie Vedder when "music first started to become a thing for you." Cut to footage of the band shredding in concert, stage diving, talking to the press, and bro-ing down backstage and on the tour bus.
EXCLUSIVE: Hear Wolf Parade Frontman's Solo LP
Canadian indie-rockers Wolf Parade played their last show on May 30 in their hometown of Vancouver, BC, bringing an eight-year career to a close. Now frontman Spencer Krug's solo LP as Moonface, Organ Music not Vibraphone like I'd Hoped, drops August 2 via Jagjagwar. But you can hear it right now, exclusively at SPIN. Krug says the 37-minute effort is "dense, but in a satisfying way... like eating a small, heavy piece of cheesecake. It's music played with an organ, organ beats, organ beeps and bloops, and some digital drums. Music based on layers and loops, the hypnotizing sound of a Leslie speaker, and the onslaught of melody." Krug has a few other projects in the works, too: "Later this year I will be recording with a Helsinki-based band called Siinai," he says.
DOWNLOAD: First New St. Vincent Song!
St. Vincent's divine third album Strange Mercy, out September 13 via 4AD, has been in regular rotation over here at SPIN HQ, and now the rest of the world can know why: "Surgeon," the LP's strikingly elegant first leak, has finally dropped online. Download it below. Over washes of orchestral synths, cascading digital effects, and warbling guitar riffs, the 28-year-old Brooklynite born Annie Clark coos, "Best find a surgeon, Come cut me open / Dressing, undressing for a while." That oddly steamy invitation -- and palatial musical backdrop -- is enough to have us studying up for the MCATs. St. Vincent tells SPIN that she holed up in Seattle last fall to write the material for Strange Mercy. "[Death Cab for Cutie drummer] Jason McGerr had an office that was closing. He offered me the space for a month, for all of October. I was alone.
PREVIEW: The Return of 'Beavis and Butt-Head'!
It's been 13 years, 7 months, and 24 days since Beavis and Butt-Head last aired on MTV (not that we're counting). But this October the dynamic duo will return once again -- and now we have the proof: MTV just posted a teaser of an upcoming episode, called "Holy Cornholio." Watch below. What do we learn here? Well, after an accident involving a G.I. Joe figure, Beavis' hands, and an electric drill ("Hehehe, Beavis screwed his hand, hehehe," jokes Butt-Head), Beavis -- now with the stigmata on his two hands -- assumes his rightful place as the spiritual leader of a cult. Naturally, he demands all his disciples bring him rolls of toilet paper, aka tee-pee. "You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole!!!" So, not much has changed since 1997. Thank god... er, "The Great Holy Cornholio." WATCH: Beavis and Butt-Head teaser
DOWNLOAD: First New Girls Song
Any day that starts with a new Girls track is a good day. Especially when it's a heartbreaking love song with the decidedly unromantic title "Vomit." The six-and-a-half minute track is the first leak from the San Francisco band's second LP, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, out September 13. (Read more about the LP here). "Vomit" comes loaded with sunburst psych-rock guitars, church organs, and a female gospel choir. And singer-guitarist Christopher Owens pours his heart out: "Nights I spend alone / Looking for you baby / Lookin' for love!" "I wrote 'Vomit' before Girls was even a band or an idea," Owens told Matablog. "This is one of the first songs I ever wrote.
Gym Class Heroes Return to Roots On New LP
Gym Class Heroes are going back to their musical beginnings for their fourth studio LP, due in September. "We have high standards that we have to live up to," frontman Travie McCoy tells SPIN, "especially because we're naming it The Papercut Chronicles II." The new album is the sequel to The Papercut Chronicles, the band's 2005 debut, which produced the hit song "Cupid's Chokehold" (featuring vocals from Patrick Stump), led to a high profile Warped Tour slot, and became a touchstone in the budding indie hip-hop and emo-pop scene. The band drifted into mainstream pop territory with their two following records, 2006's As Cruel as School Children and 2008's The Quilt.
LISTEN: TVOTR Remixed by Das Racist, Mylo
Joke-dropping hip-hop duo Das Racist have remixed "Caffeinated Consciousness," the closing track from fellow Brooklynites TV on the Radio's latest album Nine Types of Light. The pair's rap compares endorphins to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, among other things. Meanwhile, Scottish DJ-producer Mylo puts his spin on Light track "Will Do," cranking the BPM, pumping the seductive track into electro house territory. Listen to both remixes below or at TVOTR's MySpace. Das Racist Remix "Caffeinated Consciousness" Mylo Remixes "Will Do" TV On the Radio, "Caffeinated Consciousness"
Q&A: Reggie Watts Talks August Tour
Brooklyn-based comic Reggie Watts toured the country opening for Conan O'Brien and has appeared at summer festivals like Sasquatch. But in August he'll embark on his first headlining trek, bringing his improvisational comedic and musical style to theatres nationwide. We chatted with Watts about what fans can expect from his tour. (We heard about his favorite things, too). If your shows are all improvisational, do you ever rehearse?Well... [laughs]... I'm a little lazy when it comes to rehearsing. I don't really like rehearsing. So, I guess I improvise because I hate rehearsing so much [laughs]. I try to stay away from it. It's a bad habit. You perform on Conan often and your appearance in Central Park in June was filmed for an upcoming Comedy Central special. Do you get nervous still? Absolutely.
Paramore Premiere 'Transformers' Video
Paramore just released the video for "Monster," their first track since the departure of founding members Josh and Zac Farro last December, and it appears the split has only fueled Hayley Williams' fire. The song, which dropped in June on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack, is a blistering attack seemingly aimed at the Farros; it's hard to interpret verses like "Now that you're gone the world is ours" any other way. And the video is just as intense. Williams and the two other remaining original members, guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis, frantically run through an abandoned hospital, past electric beds, IV bags, EKG machines, and linoleum-floored waiting rooms scattered with medical records.

Social Security Cuts
Obama's State of the Corporate Union
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama's State of the Union address makes it official: the 2012 election has brought us back to 2011, when the outlines of his grand bargain with the Republicans became clear. In his vision for future, "austerity in people's programs is traded for tax breaks for corporations that will, in totally discredited theory, bring back the jobs they had outsourced overseas."
BA Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of January 28, 2013
Housing is for people, not banks
Obama's inagural speech shows him to be...
aiming to raise retirement age, according to Kevin Alexander Gray;
the drone war president, accordong to David Swanson;
double-talker on climate change, according to Marsha Coleman-Abedayo;
the same old neoliberal Obama, according to Paul Street.

Obama's Second Term: Four More Years of Groundhog Days
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama has nearly consummated his long courtship with the GOP, yet Black and labor leaders continue to pretend that he is a bulwark against austerity. In an even more nightmarish version of Groundhog Day, "the behavior of the Black and labor leadership actors remains the same, as the economic and political landscape crumbles around them."
Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of April 23, 2012
"Backdoor" threat to Social Security
Democratic Senator Kent Conrad, of North Dakota, head of the Senate Budget Committee, would raise full retirement eligibility for Social Security to age 69, under legislation based on the Simpson/Bowles Deficit Reduction Commission report. "It's a backdoor attempt to reduce Social Security benefits," said Don Owens, of Social Security Works, in Washington. "Not too many businesses are hiring 68 and 69 year old workers."
Obama Fails to Spend Funds on Hardest Hit Homeowners
More than $7 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Fund money set aside for hardest hit homeowners, disproportionately Blacks and Latinos, was allow to sit in President Obama's Treasury Department, unspent, for two years. The administration managed to spend only 3 percent of the $7.6 billion allocated. However, South Carolina writer and activist Kevin Alexander Gray doesn't think the malfeasance will hurt Obama with Blacks at the polls. "As long as they have someone that cosmetically looks like them in the White House," and "as long as Black people are not organized to make coherent demands of the system, he doesn't have to worry," said Gray.
African Americans Have Right to Self-Determination
Based on Article One of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the U.S. is a party, "African Americans have the right to determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development," said Dr. Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Boyle spoke on the subject to a Chicago meeting of the International Human Rights Association of American Minorities.
U.S. "On the Defensive" in Africa
The rise of China, India, Brazil and other countries has made the U.S. desperate to maintain its domination of Africa, said Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations. Because "Africans are capable of playing the China card," they don't necessarily have to buckle under to "the U.S., France or the other imperialist countries."
Chicago March Against NATO Wins Endorsements
May 20 demonstrations against the summit meeting of NATO heads of state, in Chicago, has been endorsed by Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rainbow-Push, three major service employees international unions, the Chicago teachers, and a nurses union, said Chris Gavreau, spokesperson for the United National Anti-War Coalition. "This march is going to be the major Spring action against war and austerity," she said.

Our Declaration of Independence clearly states that our rights come from God and that government gets its powers from us the people.
I have a very simple agenda. On day one of the next legislature a new day will dawn.
The 'People' Will Govern, the Government Will Serve.
Efficiency Audits of State Agencies Will Be Conducted By Independent Sources
On My Honor, I Will Vote "NO" On Any Budget That Includes Taxpayer Funds For Abortion
I Will Sponsor Legislation Requiring Government To Pay Property Owners For Any Loss In Property Value Caused by Regulations/Restrictions
A More Secure Southern United States Border
Gun Owners Will Not Become Targets If I Have Any Say About It
Strong Defense for Defense of Marriage Act
I Will Raise A Stink About State Programs That Dispense Contraceptives To Minor Children Without Parents Knowing About It Which Usurps Parents' Authority
While the two big political parties fight over their turf in government the citizens are left holding the bag. This election you have an opportunity to send a message and change the course of events.
Will you?

Never eat less than 1,200 calories a day. To figure out how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, go to caloriecontrol.org/calcalcs.html.

Overall Experience
Beautiful room, great kitchen, comfortable bed and great service.

The staff was wonderful, the room was beautiful, great kitchen, good food, comfortable bed.
Great Surprise
ByStever 70
March 02, 2015
This was my first stay at a Staybridge. I am a platium and stay at many different IHG hotels (maybe about 75 per year). As this was my first stay at Staybridge, I didn't know what I was getting. (I want to stay at all IHG brands this year).
The people were great, the room was great, and dinner was very good. But the people hosting the dinner were even better. I was well taken care of. And, breakfast was the same, great food and great people.
I will be staying at Staybridges in the future. Thanks
Comfortable bed and quiet

Republican Seeks Megna's Seat

A genuine two-party state legislative race may be shaping up on New Haven's east side, as Republican John Cirello announced that he will seek his party's nomination to run for state representative from the 97th Assembly District.
Cirello (pictured) made the announcement Thursday morning on the 10th floor of 900 Chapel St. at the close of a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce's Government Affairs Committee, on which he sits.
Click on the video to watch his announcement.
A Democrat, Robert Megna, has held the 97th District seat since 2000. Just as Democrats have held every New Haven state legislative seat since then, with nary a serious challenge, if any, from a Republican. The 97th District roughly covers the portion of the city east of the Quinnipiac River up to the North Haven and East Haven town lines.
It was unclear Thursday afternoon if Megna will seek reelection. He ducked calls from the Independent seeking an answer.
Cirello, a 44-year-old criminal defense attorney and civil litigator with a private practice on Temple Street, challenged Megna in 2006. Since then he has dived into civic commitments. Wednesday evening found him at a city schools' science fair awards presentation; he's active in the PTO of his two kids' school, Nathan Hale. Thursday morning found him at the Chamber committee, of which he's a member. This weekend he'll again help organize an annual kids' soapbox derby in Morris Cove. He has served on New Haven's Civil Service Commission and moderated numerous elections. (He's pictured overseeing a March 2012 recount.)
Cirello grew up in New Jersey, and came of age as a Reagan Republican. He said he has been "frustrated" with the national GOP's "crazy" rightward turn. He identified himself as a "very moderate Republican." He's pro-choice, pro-gay marriage. He voted for Barack Obama for president; he was always a John McCain fan, he said, before McCain "started running for president and got crazy and appointed Sarah Palin" as his running mate. He said he would seek to serve as a fiscal watchdog in Hartford, looking out for irresponsible spending. He plans to seek public financing for his campaign.
He said he's running on his bio as an active, engaged citizen: "I have kids in the school system. I have a business in the city. I'm on the Chamber of Commerce. My wife works at Yale." He's also running because he believes New Haven needs representatives from two parties, he said. "What's democracy without a choice for everybody?"
Republican Town Chairman Richter Elser backs Cirello's candidacy. "Hopefully he can use some of the experience form the campaign he ran eight years ago to have a successful campaign this time around," Elser said of Cirello. "He's involved locally in the community. He's interested in what's going on. I think he'd be a good representative."
The 97th District was New Haven Republicans' last redoubt: Republican Chris DePino held the seat until Megna knocked him out of it in the 2000 election, when Al Gore and Joe Lieberman topped the Democratic ticket. Megna (pictured at the Capitol) works as an insurance adjuster in his day job.
In response to superstorms that battered the east side of town, Megna backed legislation to help homeowners get flood insurance and to hold down the cost. He co-chairs the legislature's Insurance and Real Estate Committee. Read about some of his other legislation here and here.
Megna was reached by phone around 11:30 a.m. Thursday and asked if he will seek reelection. He said he was "busy" and would be available to chat after noon. He then failed to return phone calls throughout the afternoon.
"I anticipate Bob running," New Haven Democratic Town Chairman Vincent Mauro Jr. said.

The article forgets to mention that John is one of the lead organizers of the annual Halloween Parade in Morris Cove. Without his service to our community we would have struggled mightily in the last years running the parade as successful as we did. A true East Shore resident ready to help and be active whenever needed.

Here is the problem. the republicans missed a great opportunity when they didn't run a candidate for mayor. now they want to help this guy. elsner needs to go. there is no leadership. the guy does it probably to make himself feel important. but the failure of his ineptness rest squarely on his shoulders..maybe this new guy can lead them out of the wilderness they are in… elsner cannot. he has completely failed….

You are too kind. The Halloween Parade is a collaborative effort. Thanks for the kind words.

I disagree utterly with your opinion of RTC chair Richter Elser. He has been one of New Haven's most passionate and active citizens for decades.
His energetic and inspiring stewardship of the town committee resulted in a (sadly) remarkable four candidates running for the board of alderman in 2013, including me. The absence of a republican candidate for mayor was the result of thoughtful assessment of the best use of resources in a city where registration is 20 to 1 against republicans. I am certain that republicans will reemerge over the next election cycles as constructive participants in a deparately-needed dialogue about taxation, employment, safety, and education. We will have Richter Elser to thank in great part for that.

PINEHURST - The Pinehurst Police Department is searching for a man who used a gun to rob a worker at a Dollar General store
The man walked into Dollar General at 2500 MLK Drive in Pinehurst at about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Employees say he bought something and pulled out a black, semi-automatic pistol when the worker opened the cash register to make change.
The man threatened the employee and removed cash before running away.
Witnesses say the man, possibly in his late 30's, is white, about 5'9", 175 pounds, with short gray hair, gray stubby facial hair and a reddish complexion.
He was wearing a black toboggan hat, a red long sleeve sweatshirt and light colored blue jeans.
He left in what witnesses describe as a late model silver Chevrolet Impala with damage on the rear passenger side area.
The time stamp in the surveillance is one hour off due to the recent time change.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Pinehurst Police Department at 409-886-2221.

Two forms of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) ensure the selective silencing of female sex chromosomes during mouse embryogenesis. Imprinted XCI begins with the detection of Xist RNA expression on the paternal X chromosome (Xp) at about the four-cell stage of embryonic development. In the embryonic tissues of the inner cell mass, a random form of XCI occurs in blastocysts that inactivates either Xp or the maternal X chromosome (Xm). Both forms of XCI require the non-coding Xist RNA that coats the inactive X chromosome from which it is expressed. Xist has crucial functions in the silencing of X-linked genes, including Rnf12 (refs 3, 4) encoding the ubiquitin ligase RLIM (RING finger LIM-domain-interacting protein). Here we show, by targeting a conditional knockout of Rnf12 to oocytes where RLIM accumulates to high levels, that the maternal transmission of the mutant X chromosome (Δm) leads to lethality in female embryos as a result of defective imprinted XCI. We provide evidence that in Δm female embryos the initial formation of Xist clouds and Xp silencing are inhibited. In contrast, embryonic stem cells lacking RLIM are able to form Xist clouds and silence at least some X-linked genes during random XCI. These results assign crucial functions to the maternal deposit of Rnf12/RLIM for the initiation of imprinted XCI.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS SUPERINTENDENT'S Down East Credit Union, Baileyville, Maine, has requested permission to amend its bylaws to expand its field of membership, in accordance with Title 9-B M.R.S.A. § 848. The request was filed in conjunction with an application filed by Down East Credit Union to merge with Bowdoinham Federal Credit Union. Presently, Down East Credit Union is a community-chartered credit union whose field of membership consists of persons who live, work, worship, or attend school in Hancock, Kennebec, Lincoln, Penobscot, Waldo and Washington Counties. To facilitate the merger with Bowdoinham Federal Credit Union, Down East Credit Union requested approval to expand its field of membership to add persons who live, work, worship or attend school in Sagadahoc County and the municipalities of Brunswick, Freeport or Harpswell, which is, along with Lincoln County, the field of membership of Bowdoinham Federal Credit Union. DECU has also requested to add persons who live, work, worship or attend school in Knox County. The Bureau approved the merger between Down East Federal Credit Union and Bowdoinham Federal Credit Union pursuant to the authority granted in M.R.S.A. § 872. After a review and analysis of the extensive documentation submitted by Down East Credit Union in support of its request, the Bureau is also conditionally approving a change to Down East Credit Union's bylaws to expand its field of membership in order to facilitate the merger. However, the request to include Freeport is not approved. Therefore, as amended upon consummation of the merger, the field of membership for Down East Credit Union will consist of any person who lives, works, worships or attends school in Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Penobscot, Sagadahoc, Waldo or Washington Counties or the municipalities of Brunswick or Harpswell. Further, the bylaw amendment will not be effective until consummation of the merger between Down East Credit Union and Bowdoinham Federal Credit Union. Any person aggrieved by this final agency action shall be entitled to judicial review, pursuant to the provisions the Maine Administrative Procedures Act, Title V, Chapter 375, Subchapter VII (5 M.R.S.A. § 11001, et seq.).

No player in the Socceroos squad needs to be told how vital next week's World Cup qualifier against Oman is.
Captain Mark Schwarzer says that's because it's as plain as day.
The veteran goalkeeper says anything but a win in the crucial clash at Sydney's ANZ Stadium would spell disaster for the national side.
"I don't think you really need to tell anyone individually how important this game is because everybody sees it," he said on Wednesday.
"It's a pivotal part in our campaign.
"Anything less than three points will be a disaster for us."
The Socceroos squad has arrived in Sydney to start their week-long training camp ahead of their must-win home clash with Oman on Tuesday.
The side go into the game in second position in Group B in the final round of the Asian qualifying tournament, leading Oman and Iraq on goal difference.
In their last meeting with Oman, the Socceroos took home one point with a 0-0 draw in what Schwarzer describes as horrendous conditions in Muscat.
Schwarzer, who boasts a 99-game career with the national side, says conditions at home will be more favourable for the Socceroos but he won't discount the emerging Oman side.
"Even though our record, I think, is pretty good against them, you still can't take it for granted because they're a team, or a country, that are emerging," he said.
"They're going to do whatever they possibly can to try and be one of the teams that qualifies for Brazil 2014."
But he says the Socceroos won't be focusing too much on how to undo Oman.
Instead, he said they will focus on creating problems for them rather than preventing them causing issues for Australia.
In their last World Cup qualifier, Australia defeated Iraq 2-1 and Melbourne Victory's Mark Milligan said that had helped boost morale.
"Every time we come into camp, especially after a good result last game against Iraq, the feeling's positive," he said.
"It's a good atmosphere at the moment."
The Socceroos will play three of their remaining four qualifying matches at home, after drawing a tough run of away games to start the tournament.
"We're at home now so I think that carries a little bit of extra confidence for everyone," Milligan said.
Schwarzer said the side will be out to show Oman what it's like to play on Australian turf.
"You always expect to perform differently at home - to really put the opposition under a lot more pressure and let them feel what it's like to come to our home ground and play."
The Socceroos will be without skipper Lucas Neill on Tuesday, with the centre-back suspended for exceeding his yellow-card limit.
Carl Valeri will also sit the game out on a one-match suspension while key centre-back option Matthew Spiranovic is out due to injury.
A-League players Michael Thwaite, Jade North and Milligan, along with international players Rhys Williams and Ryan McGowan, are all in the hunt to replace Neill at centre-back.
Australia, Oman, Iraq and Jordan are locked in a tight contest for the second automatic qualification spot behind runaway leaders Japan.
Schwarzer will lead the side in the clash with Oman in Neill's absence.

For the first time, pharmacy sales topped 40% of the quarterly revenue mix at Fred's Inc.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For the first time, pharmacy sales topped 40% of the quarterly revenue mix at Fred's Inc.
The discount general merchandise chain said Tuesday that total revenue rose 2% to $460.5 million for the third quarter ended Nov. 2, with pharmacy sales climbing by more than 8%.
Net income came in at $7.3 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, up 11% from $6.6 million or 18 cents per diluted share, a year earlier.
"Our pharmacy department continues to grow and outperform our expectations," chief executive officer Bruce Efird said in a conference call with financial analysts. "Our team drove traffic in the pharmacy department, with a total script increase of 4.4% and sales increase of over 8.2% during the quarter, while maintaining our track record of positive script comps."
The combination of script and new pharmacy acquisitions growth has helped improve overall pharmacy gross profit, according to Efird. "The gross margin improvement in the pharmacy department has continued despite significant third-party reimbursement pressures," he noted.
In additon, increased generic penetration and purchasing productivity has bolstered margins in pharmacy, according to Efird.
"The pharmacy sales mix increased to over 40% of our total sales mix during the quarter. This is the first time in the history of the company that pharmacy sales have exceeded the 40% mark. This has been accomplished despite the top-line pressures from ongoing brand-to-generic conversions," he said.
Fred's also is seeing strong growth in immunizations. "So far this year, we have expanded immunizations given by over 78% during a delayed flu season, on top of a 43% increase during third quarter of last year," Efird said. "Our pharmacy team has done an excellent job of communicating with customers regarding the immunizations available beyond the typical flu shots. We anticipate strong immunizations growth to continue."
During the third quarter, Fred's opened eight new locations and closed four locations. In the year to date, Fred's opened 17 new locations, including seven new stores and 10 new Xpress pharmacies. The retailer also closed 21 stores and seven Xpress locations.
Overall, Fred's operates 701 discount general merchandise stores, including 21 franchised Fred's stores, in the Southeast. About half of the chain's stores have pharmacies.
In the analyst call, Efird also pointed to pharmacy acquisition opportunities and growth in new pharmacy departments.
"The team has completed 19 acquisitions through the third quarter, consisting of 12 new locations and seven incremental acquisitions. We've also opened four cold-start pharmacies through the third quarter. The pharmacy acquisition opportunities continue to look favorable for the foreseeable future, and we remain committed to allocate capital to leverage these growth opportunities," he said, noting that stores with pharmacy departments perform higher than the retailer's 4% operating margin goal.
During the third quarter, Fred's opened EIRIS Health Services, a specialty pharmacy division, which Efird said complements the company's relationship with Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy that began in the first quarter. He reported that with its entry into the specialty pharmacy market this year, Fred's has seen an 8% rise in specialty drug prescriptions and a 13% gain in sales related to those scripts.
"Specialty scripts are the fastest-growing segment within the pharmacy industry, with specialty drug spend anticipated to increase by almost 20% in both 2014 and 2015," Efird said. "Specialty scripts are projected to quadruple and exceed $400 billion by 2020."

To help readers get started on this important project and also to ferret out fakers, The Bitch has helpfully provided, below, four of Napoleon's best lines, and one ringer:
Sorry I'm late. I just got done taming a wild honeymoon stallion for you guys.
Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
Don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
You are a great star. Everybody knows you. Everybody loves you, but you are sitting in my seat.
Too bad, she said she doesn't want you here when she gets back because you've been ruining everybody's lives and eating all our steak.
E-mail New Times (which of course officially has nothing to do with this contest or this column) correctly identifying the line that is not from Napoleon Dynamite and win a prize: an empty Tylenol 3 prescription bottle autographed by The Bitch!
Big Editor on Campus
The Bitch was highly skeptical of the rumors she's heard all week about the possibility of Miami Herald executive editor Tom Fiedler departing the Aqua Lady for that esteemed institution of higher learning the University of Miami.
After all, why would Fiedler split? Doesn't he already have one of the best jobs in the world, or at least in journalism? "Yes," Fiedler told the astonished canine when he phoned her Tuesday. "I've been at the Herald 32 years this year. I think there comes a point where I question: Should there be a second chapter in my career? I don't know if the answer to that question is yes, but I ought to at least be open to that."
Fiedler said he was approached by an executive search firm working for the university and asked if they could include him their list of candidates for dean of UM's School of Communication. He hadn't considered such a thing before, but believes UM is a respected institution and an exciting place to be.
"I told them sure, go ahead," Fiedler said, with the caution: "The operative word is candidate, and I'm one of several. I'm open to this but certainly not presuming that it's going to be mine."
Fiedler added that his understanding is that the university plans to have a new dean in place before Edward Pfister steps down at the end of this academic year.
Sarah Artecona, assistant vice president of media and community relations, said it is UM policy not to comment on job candidates.
In his three decades at the Herald, Fiedler worked on the investigative team that broke the Gary Hart/Donna Rice affair, became the paper's top political reporter, and served as editor of the editorial page. He was named executive editor in 2001, after Marty Baron was offered the top job at the Boston Globe.
The Bitch's Herald homies say Liza Gross may be a likely candidate to fill Fiedler's post. Gross is the managing editor of presentations and operations, which includes the newspaper's design, daily production, and weekend news sections. Gross was brought to the Herald by publisher Alberto Ibargüen from Puerto Rico's El Nuevo Dia, where she was executive managing editor from 2001 to 2003.
DanceStar: Too Classy for Us
Over the weekend, cooljunkie.com's chat boards were ablaze with the rumor that DanceStar USA might be moving its American Dance Music Awards to Las Vegas. As with most such tidbits read on the Internet, the truth is a little more complicated. Fact is, though, DanceStar won't be coming back to Miami during Winter Music Conference this spring. According to DanceStar creative director Ben Turner, it hasn't settled on a new city for its fourth annual show, which is tentatively scheduled for sometime in June, but is currently dickering among Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City.
Turner says DanceStar wants to attract more A-list celebrities to the ADMA ceremony. They weren't satisfied with Carmen Electra and Juliette Lewis (The Bitch's least favorite actress of all time), to name two former hosts of the event. "We absolutely need more and more credible celebrities to attend the show," says Turner. "It's not just 30,000 people at a party on the beach. It's a worldwide TV event. In order for it to work on the level we're ambitiously going for, we need very, very big celebrities and music artists." DanceStar's offices, however, will remain in Miami, and it plans to announce this year's ADMA nominees at a party during WMC week.
For those who have the attention span and determination (which The Bitch lacks) to sit through an awards show, there's always Winter Music Conference's annual International Dance Music Awards. Club Systems International magazine also plans to present its third annual Club World Awards during the conference. Unlike DanceStar's ADMAs, and WMC's IDMAs, both of which honor outstanding performers, the Club World Awards aims at technical categories such as "Best Lighting System" and "Best Lounge."

We plan to keep Donald's designs traditional "Donald" as the crew spent many years perfecting the shapes/designs with him on a daily basis. Tommy Maus and Charles Kirkley continue to handle the shapes — both were trained and mentored by Donald for many years — while his long time trusted laminator Wayne Hoshizaki continues to do the finest layups found in the entire surfboard industry. Each of Donald's trained craftsmen are "sensei" artisans in their own right and 100% committed to the HPD brand.
In short, you can expect to get the same high quality surfboards you've come to expect from Donald throughout the years.
In addition, as a family, we all want to encourage and applaude each other for the endeavors; each of us takes part in as individuals as well as family. However, because we are finding some confusion in the marketplace with family and surfboards, we feel that we must address a growing concern. Guy Takayama is a nephew of Donald. He is marketing his own line of products under his own name and is not affiliated with Surfboards by Donald Takayama or Hawaiian Pro Designs. Please note that we are working on a solution to help make both brands more differentiated and apologize in advance for any confusion.
We hope to keep Donald's spirit alive with his never-ending enthusiasm for the sport we all love so much. He will forever be in our hearts and thoughts.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) said Aug. 14 that the American Psychological Association (APA) did not go far enough in its vote on a resolution regarding "reparative" or "conversion" therapy, a practice designed to alter the sexual orientation of a non-heterosexual person. The APA Council of Representatives meeting this week in Chicago voted overwhelmingly to pass a "resolution on appropriate therapeutic responses to sexual orientation."
The resolution affirmed that homosexuality is not a mental disorder and that the APA opposes all portrayals of lesbian, gay and bisexual people as mentally ill and in need of treatment due to their sexual orientation. However, it stopped short of calling for an end to conversion treatments. Task Force executive director Kerry Lobel, in a letter to APA, had urged the organization to condemn the practice.
"Attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation through conversion therapies are morally and ethically wrong," said Lobel. "Such practices are a therapeutic perpetuation of the homophobia that exists in society today. Equally repugnant are the coercive tactics employed by some psychologists who attempt to lure clients into treatment in the name of pseudo-science."
"The real victims of those misguided therapies are clients attempting to bear the weight of homophobia in society and within their own families," she argued. "As they seek counseling, they should experience self-validation and support for living a healthy and full life regardless of their sexual orientation. While some adults may give their consent to conversion therapy, many are coerced into doing so. The most vulnerable are young people at the mercy of confused parents or adult guardians seeking to erase their own shame or guilt about their child's sexual orientation. Allowing conversion treatments to remain a viable option assures that many will endure potentially costly, painful, and traumatic procedures that could increase rather than relieve suffering."
The APA declassified homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973. Recently, there has been an increase in publicity around the use of conversion therapies to alter homosexuality. For example, a June conference held at Georgetown University provided a forum for such ideologues as Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, head of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, who believes that homosexuality cannot lead to a happy and productive life. Lobel argued that, without a strong APA statement to counter their basic assumptions, their claims gain undeserved weight.
While she commended the APA's reiteration of its 1973 policy change as well as efforts to ensure a fair and open therapeutic environment, Lobel argued that "anything short of full condemnation for this repugnant practice leaves the door open for reparative therapy's further escalation."

Saint Mary's students are hoping for a surge of supporters - and $20,000 - to help bring solar panels to the Winona campus. According to student organizer Conner Ellinghuysen, the addition of a 16.4-kilowatt system will reduce the university's carbon footprint, save the university money, and provide educational experiences for students.

Couch to 5K – The popular Couch To 5 K (C25K) Program was originally designed at CoolRunning.com to help new runners ease into the sport, allowing thousands of runners to participate and enjoy one of the most basic human activities without injury or pain. This is one of the more well designed C25K apps in the App Store, having been designed by Felt Tip, Inc. (experienced Mac and iPhone developers). Use this app to train yourself across 9 weeks, starting with very short activities and getting to 5K. You can use it with your own music playlists and it even integrates with Nike+. Voice prompts for starting and stopping can be made with a male or female voice, and includes a built-in music control tab for controlling your iPod functions while on the go. Share your runs with Facebook and Twitter friends, as well. It's like having a trainer run along with you.
Released: 2009-05-27 :: Category: Healthcare & Fitness
Running Log – Some of us just want to track our data and don't really want fancy GPS mapping or a trainer to tell us what to do. For those folks, Running Log may be the ticket, an app that simply lets you record your runs and make notes about them as to effort, duration, intensity, etc. See your stats in a handy report screen, or flip your iPhone sideways to landscape mode and see a visualisation graph of your entered data. Simple and effective for runners who already have their plans and runs in place.
Released: 2009-09-09 :: Category: Healthcare & Fitness
RunKeeper Pro – The granddaddy of running apps, this one tracks how far you went, how long it took, what your pace/speed was, how many calories you burned, and the path you traveled on a map. You can then upload each event to the runkeeper website, for archiving, sharing, and comparing your runs with yourself and others. Runkeeper Pro also includes interval training systems with voice prompts, iPod and playlist integration (start specific playlists when you start running), geo-tagged photo capabilities, time splits, and more. If you want it all in one package, this is the way to go.
Released: 2009-01-14 :: Category: Healthcare & Fitness
Motion Traxx – Far more than some electronica playlists, Motion Traxx is an app that streams the podcast of the same name, allowing listeners to run, walk or work out to music specifically crafted around workouts and BPM (beats per minute) to help motivate, maintain, and cool down a run or workout. In addition to being able to stream the podcasts (no iPhone space taken up by downloaded podcasts), users can bookmark favorite episodes, resume where they left of playback. Bonus content includes an advanced Run / Walk interval routine coached by Jeff Galloway, a respected runner, coach, and marathon enthusiast, and a boot camp style 'indoor' workout coached by celebrity trainer Kim Lyons, who starred on the hit reality TV show The Biggest Loser.

Glue Tests Video
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tests the latest in craft- and super-glues
Have some household items that need fixing, but stuck deciding which glue to get?
If anything wooden needs to be glued like a wooden picture frame, or a chair leg, or a wrung out of a piece of wooden furniture. You should use a wood glue or carpenter's glue. Now, today's formulas are water based, so clean up is very easy. Once you make your repair to your wooden item, it's a good idea to clamp it for about 30 minutes. That'll keep it in place, and make sure that the bond is really secure.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute recommends Elmer's and Titebond Wood Glues. An instant adhesive or super glue does a bang up job fixing a ceramic mug or a loose stone from costume jewelry. Good Housekeeping says try Loctite Super Glue or Elmer's Instant Krazy Glue Pen. But keep a bottle of acetone base nail polish remover or cooking oil on hand, in case you accidentally glue your fingers too.
Another great glue to have at home is a craft glue. What it's great for is repairing fabric trims, trims on lampshades-- the thing you wanna keep in mind though, is that these glues can become loose if they are in contact with water. So, you don't wanna use them on anything that might get wet.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute suggests Aleene's craft glues. And Good Housekeeping says, before you use any glue, do a dry run by piecing everything together so you know where each part goes. I'm Elizabeth McGuire for Good Housekeeping reports.

In-Win BUC PC Gaming Case Review
Fri, May 27, 2011 - 12:00 AM
Jump To:
Installing Parts in the BUC
Now for the moment of truth: getting down to actually installing a system!
For wire routing, the bottom right corner is set up very well, as most headers, SATA connections and front panel connections are in that area which is surrounded by cable pathways.
With the CPU Heatsink and graphics card (ECS GTX 460 1GB, ~9.5″) installed, the case started getting a little cramped (mostly north of the CPU socket), but since I haven't planned any tear downs in my immediate future, I'll take the slightly limited space to work as a great reason to keep the BUC below $150.
Not much to see new in the front or rear of the BUC but here they are for those more curious about the final appearance. One big thing that I had to get used to was the fact that the BUC does not have a front door to hide optical drives, but doors are a nuisance whenever you need to use optical drives or card readers so take that for what you will. Also notice I am using the USB 3.0 tray with a motherboard that only supports USB 2.0, so it is a free front panel USB port because no one wants to reach behind their computer to plug in an mp3 player or other USB device if they can plug it in the front.
This is not the prettiest sight for a system builder; the BUC provides plenty of places to route cables that are being used, but very little room for all the unused cables that non-modular power supplies come with. Nothing to worry about… once the side panel gets on.
The lower side fan has a good stance to feed air to any expansion cards, but there is little room for the second fan with the height of my current HS/F.
The included blue LED front intake fan is quite bright, with the calm amber red In-Win logo. Most people are particular toward LEDs because it really depends on a given room's ambient lighting, but in this case I disconnected the blue LEDs on the fan and the left the logo illuminate as intended because my computer is always on but not always with any additional room light.

Another aspect that makes Emergency Lights Co. different from the rest is our commitment to selling only American-made fixtures. Not only does it help the economy by keeping jobs in the USA; it spares you from buying un-satisfactory lights or exit signs that could fail during an actual emergency.
Why Do I Need Emergency Lights?
All public or private buildings are required by OSHA as well as city, state and federal law to have sufficient lighting and exit signs installed. Since any number of natural or man-made disasters can cause building blackouts, emergency lights will provide a safe path of egress for all building occupants.
Not having these fixtures, or not having sufficient illumination, will lead to heavy fines from multiple safety agencies. You will not be able to allow any personnel to re-enter the facility until it is brought up to code.
24-hour emergency support when you need it
Unlike other fly-by-night lighting websites, we are dedicated to streamlining your buying and installing process with free 24-hour support. We realize a good percentage of our customer's concerns and questions arise after the work day has ended.
Where can you turn to track an order or need help mounting an exit sign? We have actual employees manning the phones every hour of the day.

With a top-notch pornstar for an older sister, Brittany Preston could've taken her adult life in almost any direction and she wouldn't disappoint her parents as much as big sis, Tiffany. Strange, then, that Brittany decided to follow in her elder sibling's footsteps and make the leap into adult entertainment on her very own website Tiffany Preston's My Kinky Sister. It's not just the site that Brittany owes to Tiffany, either, but her entire success. God knows she didn't earn it through My Kinky Sister, which is not only hugely underdeveloped and mismanaged, but not really all that kinky, either. Siblings don't always make the best co-workers, true, but maybe there's more to Tiffany's influence on her lil' sister than first meets the eye. So come along as, in true Mr. Pink's fashion, we dive headfirst into Brittany's online home to find out once and for all what the fuck is up with My Kinky Sister!

My Kinky Sister review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 02/25/2012
If you thought Tiffany Preston was a sexually insatiable nymphomaniac, just wait until you meet her sister, Brittany. Born in Quebec and still holding onto the last vestiges of her Francophone accent, Brittany Preston is a hot young slut who's not only genetically predisposed to rampant, out-of-control sexuality, but guided towards a career in porn by her beloved older sister, Tiffany. Brittany's website, My Kinky Sister, might not feature its star's name in the title, but it certainly pimps her out on the tour pages. Brittany is a younger, more eager, and more subtly virginal version of Tiffany, but that hardly covers the breadth of her individuality and bristling sexuality. She's a roustabout looking to get down in a super-serious yet totally frivolous fashion and you, dear reader, could be the vicarious recipient of all this unbridled affection. You just have to lay down $24.95 for My Kinky Sister access. Sure, it's kind of sad to see a younger sister riding the coattails of success laid by her elder, but that's life, right? Why not face facts? Brittany appears to be both younger and more energetic than her older sis, Tiffany, and that surely has to count for something. Will it count for your twenty-five smackaroos? Only Mr. Pink and you know for sure.
Younger sister of Tiffany "Don't Let The Braces Fool You" Preston, Brittany of My Kinky Sister is a pretty interesting girl in her own right. Dressing up in cheerleader outfits, nurses uniforms, and other assorted and slutty ensembles, Brittany shows off her body and her (admittedly not overly) kinky sexuality on this, her official website.
On its tour pages, My Kinky Sister boasted of hosting High Definition videos and inside that's exactly what you'll find. Each scene comes with three viewing options: a 1280x720 pixel WMV that can be streamed or downloaded and a 640x480 pixel WMV that can only be downloaded. The HD videos present some very nice views of Brittany's sweet face and killer body and they download fairy quickly, too!
Also looking pretty damn sweet is My Kinky Sister's photo content. Available for viewing either in your browser window at a standard and fairly low resolution or via downloadable zip archives that come in both 1024px and 2560px options, the photos, especially those above 1600px, present ample detail and give you many great views of Brittany's hot teen physique, no matter what she's wearing and doing at the time.
Your monthly membership here doesn't just get you all the My Kinky Sister content you can stand, it also gets you inside five other websites: My Best Fetish, Nasty Naughty Bitches, Naughty Sarah at Home, Tiffany Preston's site, and Russians Like it Big. That's a huge amount of additional porn at no extra cost!
While Brittany certainly is sexy, I don't know if I'd go so far as to label her "kinky." My Kinky Sister doesn't really contain much fetish material, not unless you count partially-nude photos of Brittany trying on different outfits, winning a burping competition, straddling some guy's face, or displaying the unremarkable ability to smoke a cigarette while wearing a nurses uniform and ashing in an ashtray that sits on the naked back of a man on his hands and knees. Strange, sure, but not really all that kinky.
The collection of content available on My Kinky Sister might be exclusive, but it has some major problems. First of all, there are twice as many video updates as there are image galleries (45 to a paltry 19); secondly, what little information is provided about the scenes and galleries, the few that are actually online, is often inaccurate, unintelligible, or just plain gibberish.
There hasn't been any new content, photo or video, added to My Kinky Sister in at least four months. The most recent video update landed in late October of 2011, the most recent photos arrived in the early days of 2010. Whatever might be going on with Brittany nowadays will remain a mystery to you, dear reader, should you join her site looking for insights and answers.
Strangely, a good chunk of My Kinky Sister's content doesn't actually feature Brittany, the sister of the title. Instead, some broad named Sabryna/Sabrina stars in quite a few scenes, with Brittany nowhere to be seen. Curiously, Sabryna/Sabrina doesn't appear to be anyones sister, let alone Tiffany Preston's, which makes you wonder what the fuck she's even doing on this site.
Whoever is steering this ship must've been drinking. My Kinky Sister is, at this point, kind of like your slightly older, slightly haggard cousin who's "always up for a good time," but usually needs help urinating and getting out of her vomit-stained clothes before the night is over, putting a dampener on everyone else's good time. Brittany Preston might have a more famous and more explicitly kinky older sister to look up to and learn from, but if her website is any indication, Brittany hasn't been learning much of late. No new videos have been added to My Kinky Sister in four months and no new photo galleries in around two years, so it's hard to convince oneself that there's anything more to come. Of the 45 videos that are online, many are presented with a 1280x720 pixel HD viewing option, which looks quite good. The photos reach a peak of 2560px and also look good, bringing plenty of detail to each shot of Brittany's smoking hot body. It's rather unfortunate, then, that Brittany's site is as frustrating an experience as it currently is - the repeat appearance of the seemingly random visitor, Sabryna/Sabrina, in scenes all her own certainly doesn't help there - and, ultimately, if you're considering joining this site regardless of Mr. Pink's expert guidance and advice, well, let's hope you at least end up appreciating the bonus sites.

Survey ranks Raising Cane's #2 in customer service for a quick-service restaurant
POSTED: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 3:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 3:04am
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — For the fifth consecutive year, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers is honored as one of the top quick-service restaurant chains in the country for customer satisfaction according to Sandelman & Associates' Quick-Track study. The Baton Rouge, La.-based Raising Cane's was rated "excellent" overall by 60 percent of recent customers, ranking it in the top two of 150 restaurant companies studied.
Raising Cane's was the highest-rated restaurant company for temperature of food, accuracy in filling orders, and cleanliness of restaurants.
"At Raising Cane's, this is one of the highest honors we can receive," said Todd Graves, founder and CEO of Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. "Serving our customers high-quality meals at a fast pace from immaculately clean restaurants is what we do every day. Having our customers recognize it is the ultimate reward."
"To rank in the top five chains five years in a row is a tremendous accomplishment," says Paul Clarke, VP at Sandelman & Assoc. "Our Quick-Track Awards of Excellence recognizes the best of 150 chains that qualify across 85 U.S. markets. For a quick-service restaurant chain to be considered excellent overall by over 60 percent of its customers is quite a feat. To do it several years in a row is remarkable."
The awards are based on the quarterly-syndicated Quick-Track research program, which tracks attitudes, awareness and usage for the restaurant industry, including all major fast food and pizza chains.
