About Thompson Square
Thompson Square Testing New Waters (11/21/14)
It seems like 2014 has been a year of transition for Thompson Square. The duo released the singles "Testing the Water" and "I Can't Outrun You" to lukewarm response, with both songs failing to dent the US Hot Country Songs chart, and peaking at numbers 55 and 52, respectively, on the Country Airplay Chart.
Since then, the husband-wife duo has been busy changing its game plan while working on their already-in-progress third studio album. It marks the first time they've been able to shut down completely to work on a record, and Keifer Thompson recently said he and wife Shawna are "changing everything up and growing and writing." He noted that their next project is likely to be a big change from anything fans have already heard from Thompson Square.
"Thank goodness we've had two albums and several hits under our belt now," Thompson said in a recent interview. He noted that as artists Thompson Square loves to push boundaries and realizes they can't keep doing the same thing in order to have continued success. That said, they are aware of the risks of venturing into new musical territory, and have enlisted the help of noted Nashville producer (and mega-hitmaker) Dan Huff to guide them.
Along with other big names such as Lady Antebellum, Kacey Musgraves, and Hunter Hayes, Thompson Square recently contributed a track to the Nicolas Sparks penned film "The Best Of Me." The soundtrack was released on October 7th.
Husband-wife duo among country's hot young talent (Updated January 30, 2013)
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?" is normally a question reserved for boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives or significant others. For the duo known as Thompson Square, it happened to be the song title to their very first Number One hit, and first for Stoney Creek Records in the summer of 2010. It's been uphill ever since for the husband-wife combo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson, who are blazing a trail among the hot young talent in country music.
The initial meeting of Keifer and Shawna even sounds like a country song. They both relocated to Nashville the same week, met at a singing competition at the Nashville Nightlife and nearly fell in love at first sight. Both briefly pursued solo careers before joining forces as a duo, creating a buzz for more than their music. Shawna's ever-changing hairstyles (Updo? Sideswept? Top Knot?) and Keifer's newsboy cap complimented their 'unconventional' image – something that was left untouched by the label as they worked radio tours and industry circles.
Though Thompson Square's debut single was "Let's Fight," (off the eponymous album released in Feb. 2011) it was the 180° reverse with "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not?" that suddenly had them sitting at the top of the charts. They captured the Academy of Country Music award for top Vocal Duo in the spring of 2012, toured with superstar Jason Aldean and were hard at work in the studio making new music the rest of the year.
"Just Feels Good," their sophomore album, is due on March 26, 2013. The lead single, "If I Didn't Have You," is the fastest-rising single of the duo's career, and tells the story of two people who rely on each other to get through the daily trials and tribulations of life. They filmed the music video on January 16, and began the "Dirt Road Diaries Tour" with Luke Bryan the very next day.

Final: Pirates 9, Mariners 2 (box)
WP: Jeff Locke (7-1, 2.06 ERA)
LP: Joe Saunders (5-8, 4.98 ERA)
Jeff Locke was excellent once again as he gave up just two runs over seven innings. His 2.06 ERA is now tied with Clayton Kershaw for second best in the National League behind only Matt Harvey (2.05).
Starling Marte had himself a game. After leading off with his seventh triple, he added his seventh and eighth home runs in what was his first career multi-HR game.
Brandon Inge hit a three-run homer and Russell Martin and Gaby Sanchez each added solo home runs of their own. The five homers hit by Pittsburgh were the most in one game since July 22, 2009.
Pedro Alvarez saw his four game home run streak end, but was able to hit his ninth double of the year to extend his hitting streak to nine games. He has reached base safely in 15 straight.
Jeanmar Gomez starts tomorrow for the Pirates in his first start since June 2nd. He will face Felix Hernandez. Game time is 3:40 ET.

Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Problem Reports
Most Reported 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Problem Reports
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
Bad spark plug wires can cause misfires; the Check Engine Light may illuminate.
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor may fail, resulting in drivability issues and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light.

New album: Awake
Artist: Tycho
Label: Ghostly International
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Tycho is the stage name of multi-instrumentalist Scott Hansen. He creates driving synth-based music that owes a mild debt to Michael Rothers' work in the band Neu!
Like a less-frenetic version of Signal Path, through Tycho Hansen crafts cinematic instrumental music laced with pinches of obscure vocal samples. There are dozens of acts operating under this business model, but few if any of the current groups do it with as much style and purpose as Tycho.
"Montana" opens with a bright guitar line that could be the distant third cousin of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and coupled with a motorik drum beat it's quite catchy. The icy, disjointed keyboards of "L" are reminiscent of the soundtrack to an old middle school educational film that is shakier than window washer during earthquake season.
Both Broadcast and The Focus group have touched on these found sounds of the past in recent years, but their efforts sound more archaeological whereas Hansen's Tycho work is more musical. The shimmering delayed guitar on "See" recalls David Gilmour's similar experiments on "The Wall" and "The Division Bell," but Hansen has found a way to channel this (and other) old tricks into an interesting new sound.
Along with Moon Duo, Tycho are making some of the most interesting electronic pop music of the moment. Hansen seems to be in it for the long haul, so hopefully we'll be getting inventive new works for him for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars out of 5
The new archival release "Play All Night" is a brilliant snapshot of America's greatest live band regaining their crown.
The Allman Brothers will never outrun the legend of their "Live At The Fillmore East" album, even though 2003's "One Way Out" with Warren Haynes/Derek Trucks lineup is just as strong. What's more, The Brothers have released ever show they've done over the last decade on CD via the Instant Live service. With all of this live material available, is there any reason for the "Play All Night" album to exist? Absolutely.
When "Play All Night" was recorded in 1992, the ABB were at the pinnacle of their comeback that started with a 20th anniversary tour in 1989. Two great studio albums ("Seven Turns" in 1990; "Shades Of Two Worlds" in 1991) followed, and the band's blistering live shows were so strong it finally seemed the band would be judged on what they were doing instead of what they'd achieved in the past.
The Allman Brothers' live prowess allowed them to play multiple nights at the legendary Beacon Theater in New York, a tradition that is still going on with a 10-night stand in 2014. "Play All Night" documents the Allman Brothers first extended Beacon Theater residency, and it also serves as a fitting tribute to firey playing late bassist Allen Woody – most notably on "Low Down Dirty Mean" and "Whipping Post."
Kicking off with the one-two punch of "Statesboro Blues" and "You Don't Love Me," the band breathes new life into these tried and true concert staples. The first new song of the night is "End Of The Line," with a growling vocal by Gregg Allman and menacing guitar interplay between Dickey Betts and Haynes. Allman was reportedly suffering lapses in sobriety around this time, but you wouldn't know it by listening to him sing or tickle that Hammond B-3 organ.
Have recently worked up an acoustic set for MTV's Unplugged series, the Brothers included a well-timed three song acoustic set of "Midnight Rider," "Come On In My Kitchen" and "Seven Turns" in the show. Most people go to an ABB show expecting incendiary electric rock music, but these acoustic versions are expertly executed and kick up plenty of dust in their own right.
Things get intense when Warren Haynes lets rip with a slide guitar intro for "Hoochie Coochie Man" that sounds as if the instrument is begging for mercy. Although he was yet to handle half of the lead vocals as he would after the departure of Betts, Haynes gut-bucket singing on this Willie Dixon classic was just a hint of what he was capable of.
Betts and Haynes achieve one of the greatest duel guitar-lead moments of all time during a revamped arrangement of the classic instrumental "Jessica." Drummers Butch Trucks, Jaimoe and Marc Quinones lay down rock, jazz and Latin drumming during "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed," and they perform a drum trio in the middle of the song that people who don't like drum solos will have to admit is stunning.
The diamond of the set is "Dreams," a hypnotic take on psychedelic jazz that features sublime solos from Betts and Haynes as well as a sterling vocal from Allman. Honestly, if the band came out and played "Dreams" for two hours it's doubtful anyone would have complained.
Hopefully a live album from the 1990 tour is in the works also, but until then lovers of improvisational jazz/blues-infused rock have plenty to be thankful for on "Play All Night."

What you ask is based on a misconception of what can be accomplished in a forum such as this. You can't simply throw down the gantlet like this and expect others to enlighten you on such a complex issue. Rather, it is incumbant upon you to make an effort to research the relevant literature on the subject and pose meaningful questions. As I indicated previously, this forum could do with a little more rigour, not meaning mathematical rigour, precisely, but intellectual rigour. Each of us has a duty to do the hard work of intellectual research and then ask probing questions in an attempt to ferret out, as it were, the nature of the mind and consciousness.
Having said that, I would like to point out that many competent and thoughtful researchers in several areas are trying to answer the question of what consciousness is. I would strongly recommend you start by looking at Daniel Dennett's excellent study called "Consciouness Explained". A caution. Dennett goes a long way to explicate the major issues and point the direction to further important questions, but does not, in my opinion, truly 'explain' consciousness. Still the point is to ask the questions.
More recent investigations are available. But I think Dennett is a good starting place.
PS. I don't think you meant "verify its existence" literally. Surely you suppose yourself to be conscious.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Sporting/Gun dog
Males weigh in the 25-34 kg (55-75 lbs) range and females weigh in the 20-30 kg (44-55 lbs) range.
Male Pointers usually stand 60-70 cm (25-28 inches) and females stand 58-66 cm (23-26 inches).
Pointers tend to have standard colors of liver, lemon, orange, or black and might be solid in color or speckled.
Their coat is smooth, short, and usually coarse.
Pointers are happy dogs who like to live indoors with their family. They are calm and well mannered and rarely show signs of aggression. Also, they are natural hunters and were used to find and point out hunted birds. They can be loving and affectionate pets and tend to be loyal.
Country of Origin:
Originally bred to work with hunters, they are especially skilled at finding birds under heavy cover. They have also been used as falconer's dogs and in the 17th century were used to locate rabbits or hares by hunters.
Their ancestry is unclear although it appears they were first identified in the 16th or 17th century. Four breeds have been identified as ancestors of the Pointer (greyhounds, foxhounds, bloodhounds, and bull terriers). The cross breeding of these dogs was specifically chosen in order to create a dog with the unique talents of a pointer.
As they are used to find and point out hunted birds, they were named Pointers.
These are calm, even-tempered dogs that might show a bit of anxiety around strange dogs. Nonetheless, they make excellent pets and usually socialize well with other dogs. They are gentle with children and make good family pets.
Pointers are an intelligent, obedient breed making them easily trained through standard training methods.
Being a hunting dog, regular exercise is very important. They tend to be very active and outgoing and are a galloping breed. As such, they make excellent running dogs. Ideally, they should have a medium to large sized yard to explore and play and thus maintain fitness. They can become destructive or frustrated when they are not exercised regularly.
As they are friendly, obedient, and affectionate dogs, they make an excellent pet even for first time dog owners. Grooming is not challenging as they have a short coat so need only to be brushed once a week.

Western Alamance is 4-0, making the Warriors the only undefeated football team in Alamance County.
"We're going to have to push harder," defensive end T.J. Harris said. "We can't get complacent."
The next game comes Friday night at Williams High School. The Warriors go back to Burlington Memorial Stadium for the second year in a row for the matchup with their neighbors, a byproduct of the latest round of realignment and therefore some tweaking of schedules.
"We're 4-0 and they're going to be after us," Western Alamance receiver / defensive back Britton Smith said.
■ PRACTICE FOR A REASON: Western Alamance used a wrinkle for its offense on possessions early in each half in its trouncing of Eden Morehead.
Sophomore Trevion McCollum was the starter and he took most of the snaps. Senior Brock Deatherage handled a couple of series.
Coach Jeff Snuffer said McCollum had been nursing some injuries so his workload was lighter in practice last week. For the game, Snuffer said he decided the Warriors might as well go with the alignments and personnel that they used in some practice situations so those workouts didn't go for naught.
At times, the offensive line made it convenient for the Warriors to pick up yards regardless of who was in the backfield.
"We created good running lanes for our backs," Snuffer said.
■ A YEAR'S DIFFERENCE: Southern Alamance's victory against East Chapel Hill last week marked its third victory of the season, matching its total from last year. While that makes for a nice novelty note, it doesn't resonate much with the Patriots.
"Not really," said receiver Tylin McAdams when asked if he had given extra thought to having matched last season's win total. "I'm just out here playing, we're all playing hard."
But there was one noteworthy takeaway from last week's victory.
By scoring 23 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, Southern Alamance erased the six-point. Behind a defense that didn't allow a first down in the final quarter and scored twice — on an interception return and a safety — the Patriots put up a resounding finishing touch.
"Last year we might not have done that," senior quarterback Johnathan Lloyd said. "It's a different mindset, these guys are a lot more mentally tough. We worked hard. I'm just proud of them and the way they fought back. Nobody dipped their head."
■ LEARNING ALONG THE WAY:In the aftermath of his team's victory, Southern Alamance coach Andrew Carrouth balanced his excitement for a comeback victory with disappointment as to why the Patriots trailed in the first place.
"We have to figure out a way to stop being in that situation," Carrouth said. "I couldn't be more proud of our kids for fighting through that and getting there, but … we shouldn't have been in that position.
"I know I'm kind of splitting hairs here a little bit because you've got to win and that's the most important thing, but man, we have a chance to be a good football team."
Carrouth didn't shy away from noting that part of the reason for his team's inconsistent play in the first half was because his team was still living in the moment of the previous week's victory against Eastern Alamance.
"I definitely think (an emotional hangover) is part of it," Carrouth said. "Our guys kind of thought … that we're on top of the world and I hope (Friday) night proves that we're not."
■ PUTTING IN SOME REPS: Because Friday's victory against McMichael was a blowout by the end of the first quarter, Eastern Alamance had a chance to get some younger guys and backups valuable game experience.
Junior running back Josh Lynch had 90 rushing yards and two scores and junior Brandon Bryner had 36 yards and a score on the ground. There was a heavy infusion of backups throughout the second half on both sides of the ball.
"I think that's the key to your success down the line is trying to get as many kids in the game and get some kids some playing experience," said Eastern Alamance coach John Kirby. "Next year those are going to be the kids that are playing."
■ HITTING THE GROUND HARD: Kirby said his team likes to go 50-50 in passing and running the ball, but with the big early lead against McMichael he said there was no need to throw.
"We feel like our receiving corps is quick and they catch the ball really well. But they complement our running game because they block really well," he said. "There's no real need to throw it. We try to throw it as much as we run it, but (this game), when we kind of jumped out, there was no need to throw it."
The Eagles finished with 408 rushing yards on 36 carries as opposed to 27 passing yards on one completion from Joey Lanier to Malik Wilson.
"I love our offense," said Eagles cornerback Ryan Woods. "They put up more scores than any team I've ever been with. I love it."
■ STRONG BOUNCE BACK: One way to rebound from a disappointing loss to a cross-county rival: Crush your next opponent by 68 points.
Kirby said he and his staff saw some weaknesses exposed in the previous week's loss to Southern Alamance.
"I think (that) game exposed us in some areas that made us go back and realize maybe we weren't as good as we thought we were," he said. "It was good that they responded well and the key is to see how we respond next week."
Woods said: "We were out to prove to people. We were getting a lot of doubt, and we were just out to be as good as we could be and I think that's where we took a step forward."
■ HOLDING PATTERN: Williams played its second straight game without the services of standout running back / linebacker Jaylin Jefferies last week. The Old Dominion commit was injured in the first quarter of the second game of the season and has not played since.
Williams coach David Green said Jefferies is still in the process of collecting opinions from several doctors.
"If he's able to come back, that'll just be great," Green said, before adding that more information should be available next week. "We don't know if he'll be able to (play), when that might be or if he comes back, how long he'll be able to play."
■ AWAITING WORD: Cummings High School senior Will Richardson is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his left knee, and now the Virginia commit is waiting for word from his future medical staff.
Cummings coach Steve Johnson said Virginia requested an MRI to be sent to its medical staff before any further action is taken.
"If their doctor can give that much needed advice or whatever they decide, I think that's a good thing," Johnson said.
■ REF TAKES A HIT: Curtis Wrenn, the referee at the start of the McMichael / Eastern Alamance game, sustained a broken collarbone as he collided with a player and fell to the turf.
Wrenn is a long-time official in the area.
Wrenn was run into by Eastern Alamance's Malcolm Summers, who was making the first of his two punt returns for touchdowns in the first quarter. The collision occurred near the 10-yard line. Wrenn was checked out as he was on the turf, then walked off the field but didn't return to call the rest of the game.

|Women's Tennis Continues Roll
|Friday, 23 February 2007
|The Pfeiffer University women's tennis team extended their winning streak to 5-0 with a solid 7-2 victory over Fayetteville State University on Thursday afternoon. This was a first ever meeting between the perennial CIAA powerhouse and the Falcons. Pfeiffer started strong with wins at the number 2 and 3 doubles matches. The #1 team of Stroup and Dominguez came from behind to force a tiebreaker but were unable to pull it out.
Despite windy conditions, the Falcons stayed focused and won 5 of the 6 singles. Patti Dominguez, Mia Bobrowski, Juliana Reyes and Samantha Thomas all won in straight sets. Heather Smith won it in 3 sets and although Andrea Stroup came back to split sets at number one, she lost in a tiebreaker.
Coach Mary Ann Sunbury said, "We're real pleased to get the win against Fayetteville State. They are a quality team that usually wins or finishes at the top of the CIAA conference. I was proud of our team in how they handled playing in 30 mile an hour winds that created havoc for both teams!"
The Falcons' next home match will be Livingstone on Thursday, March 1 at 2 pm followed by Anderson University on Friday at 2:30.

Tree Based Syntax
Groovy has special syntax support for List and Maps. This is great because it gives a concise representation of the actual object being defined, so its easier to keep track of what a program or script is doing. But what about programs which contain arbitrary nested tree structures. Surely, they are the hardest ones to keep track of what is going on. Isn't that an area where syntactic help will be most beneficial?
The answer is definitely yes and Groovy comes to the party with its builder concept. You can use it for DOM-like APIs or Ant tasks or Jelly tags or Swing widgets or whatever. Each may have their own particular factory mechanism to create the tree of objects - however they can share the same builder syntax to define them - in a concise alternative to XML or lengthy programming code. See How Builders Work
[Note: the syntax in some of these examples is slightly out-dated. See chapter 8 of GINA in the mean-time until these examples are updated.]
Here's an example:
The above invokes a number of methods on the owner class using named-parameter passing syntax. Then the button method would create JButton etc. The { } is used to define a closure which adds its content to the newly created node. Also notice that the action parameter is passed as a closure - which is ideal for working with UI centric listeners etc.
Note that within the 'markup' you can embed normal expressions - i.e. this markup syntax is a normal part of the Groovy language. e.g.
Using this simple mechanism we can easily create any structured tree of data - or provide an event based model too. Note in Groovy you can just overload the invokeMethodname, arguments to have a simple polymorphic tree creation - such as for DOM is structures or Ant tasks or Jelly tags etc.
Here's an example of some HTML using some mixed content which is typically hard to do neatly in some markup languages
Finally here's an example of creating some name-spaced XML structure XSD...
There's a converter
org.codehaus.groovy.tools.xml.DomToGroovy from XML to groovy markup so you can try out this new markup language on any XML documents you have already.
Special cases
To output elements or attributes with a '-' in their name, you need to quote the names. For example, to generate a web-app descriptor for a Servlet app:
Read from external variable
Most builder examples are inline usage. To use a builder to build for an external variable, you may use:

Beautiful invites and programs
I loved my invitations. Only negative is that some of the black ink rubs off on the white ( not always) as well when I received the package, the box was broken apart, some minor damage to invites but barely noticeable.
Absolutely loved them
Not only did they arrive quickly, there were just what we were looking for. We received so many compliments on them! Thank you Magnet Street!
Simple yet Elegant
Invites came with no errors or marks, etc. They were just as we ordered them. Extra envelopes were included. Came packaged in a beautiful box with magnet closure. Nice cardstock quality. The only change I would like to see is more choices in the script print styles offered.
I am so happy with the way our invites turned out! With the Just One, it was easy to order one to see it in person then go back and make changes before we committed to ordering all of them. They look beautiful!
Quick delivery!!
Very nice quality and arrived very quickly. I don't like to wait and I was not disappointed. They turned out beautiful and exactly what I wanted.

I need help setting up my old Dell dimension 4300's sound card. The card is in known working condition. My first of 3 installs was Linux Mint: Ubuntu GNOME "IMO the best so far" and I had problems with the audio cutting out "Sucked into The Matrix style" whenever the song changed or I adjusted the volume even slightly. If I fiddled with the volume a bit it would play music for another song or so.
Next, after totally diggin my newly "clean themed machine" and digging at Google search for a few hrs I formatted and installed a fresh copy of Fedora core 17.
Same problem with that distribution.. So, fdisk awaayyyaAhHhwtf.
Decided to take some pretty good advice and go with Linux Mint: Debian XFCE this time once and for all. So here I am in the forums and I am almost positive that this is a driver/compatibility issue. I will attempt to attach a pic of Mixer. It displays "Mixer - Playback: Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer)" as the sound card and this time there is no sound at all.
Not even Matrix noises.
The first distro definitely auto-detected the card but was using what it's default "compatible" driver is for that sound card, which I have read online does not work well with the TB Santa Cruz although it is made for it.
I am hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction. Possibly a few command lines to download/install the proper driver or a link to a compatible Mint Debian XFCE driver packckage ".PAK" file for Turtle Beach Santa Cruz N270?
Any help from you gurus and code jedi would be greatly appreciated. I am only an amateur Linux user with a few college courses under my white belt lol. Basic knowledge of the Linux interface just isn't enough if I cannot locate the correct driver. Thank you for your time reading my hardware issue. I hope that I have posted this in the right section and someone may shed some sound on my situation.

By the time Christmas Eve rolled around, Linwood Murell had only purchased two or three Christmas gifts — on purpose.
"I do all my shopping after Christmas," he said Monday while strolling through downtown Kinston with Alma Washington, 6, his girlfriend's child. "That's when you can catch some really good deals."
Murell, 57, remembered coming downtown when he was little Alma's age, well before Kinston's retail sector went west along Vernon Avenue with Vernon Park Mall, and later Walmart.
"It was full of people, just walking back and forth, shopping," he said of Queen Street.
Downtown retailers have seen shopping traffic pick up during the 2012 holiday season, compared to recent years, and they are hoping post-Christmas deals available today will help the trend continue.
"We've had one of the best weeks before Christmas that we've had in recent years." Alan Stadiem, manager of the century-old H. Stadiem clothing store, said Monday as last-minute Christmas Eve shoppers made their way through the store. "It almost feels like the economy's going to turn around a little bit."
Stadiem quickly found some wood to knock on.
J.C. Carlisle of Tarboro drove about an hour to Kinston to shop at H. Stadiem Monday, after seeing advertisements for the store.
"It's real nice," said Carlisle, who came with his wife Anne and 11-year-old grandson Andrew, and purchased a sports coat. "It's the first time we've ever been."
Stadiem said store operators are "expecting a pretty good rush after Christmas."
The day after Christmas is a busy one for retailers as shoppers return or exchange gifts, or put their gift cards to work.
Many shoppers also take advantage of deals offered by the stores — Kinston's Walmart Supercenter is scheduled to open to customers at 5 a.m. today.
H. Stadiem will hold, beginning today, "one of the largest shoe sales in the history of our company," Alan Stadiem said.
Shoes such as Sperry Top-Siders will sell for $49.90.
The Super 10 variety store downtown will also have half-price deals on Christmas items such as decorations and lights, allowing shoppers to get a jump on buying next-year's Christmas cheer.
Manager Kristy Jones made her way through last-minute shoppers Monday.
"We usually do well after Christmas, so I'm expecting it to be probably as good as today," she said of post-holiday shoppers.
David Anderson can be reached at 252-559-1077 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at DavidFreePress.
Post-holiday shopping tips:
- Seek out things for next Christmas — ornaments, lights, cards, etc.
- Look for things you'll need during the year — candles, wrapping paper, birthday and baby gifts, crafts, etc.
- Shop at off-the-beaten-path places such as drug store, thrift stores and supermarkets

A:The massage bars are designed to melt at body temperature, so there shouldn't be any problems with them melting at room temperature. If your house is particularly warm, you can store it in the fridge to keep it from melting. It is a combination of all of the ingredients that hold the bar together and keep it solid until it warms up- kind of like a chocolate bar! We use organic ingredients wherever possible, which we include on the ingredient listing on the product, and on our website.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Q:So I'm very interested in purchasing this massage bar, but I'm slightly concerned about the summer temperatures here. Midwest summers can be ridiculously hot and humid and I have two questions: one, is this massage bar likely to melt in homes that can be around 90 degrees inside? And two, if the bar WOULD be likely to melt in these temperatures, would it be safe to store it in the refrigerator to keep it from melting or would that somehow ruin the composition of the bar?Asked on 5/25/2014 by Auguste from Iowa

A:Our massage bars do melt when shipped to warm locations, sometimes during transit, as they are full of cocoa and shea butters. However if you do receive a massage bar in tact and are worried about it melting you can definitely keep it in the fridge.Answered on 9/1/2014 by Anonymous
A:You can totally keep it in the fridge. My Husband prefers it that way because he loves the cool feeling on his skin. Store it in some sort of container though, ours melted before we even got it home with our summer temps but I put it in a small ramekin melted it all outside in the sun then resolidified it in the fridge. The beans sunk to the bottom so it still work amazingly and it's a thicker rounder bar now.Answered on 8/16/2014 by ksills from Kansas
A:I live in Colorado. It can be very cold or very hot here. But in both seasons, I always keep my products in one of the lush containers (or zip lock baggie) under my sink because the steam from the shower can melt the products. For bath melts, I always refrigerate. But once you get your product, if it seems like it's melting (which really is a waste), there should be no issues with refrigerating. At least not that I've ever experienced.Answered on 6/8/2014 by Cassie from Denver, CO
Q:What is the shelf life of this massage bar?Asked on 10/27/2013 by spicy beautiful from markham, Il
1 answer
A:Our massage bars have a shelf life of 14 months from the day they are made! Because our massage bars melt at body temperature, be sure to keep yours somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight. Hope this helps! Have a lushious day!Answered on 11/15/2013 by Anonymous

It wasn't clear whether anyone attending a fundraiser for House Speaker John Boehner Thursday night at a gated Irvine community, including Boehner himself, saw the couple hundred protesters outside who held signs that said "Honor Newtown, pass gun laws now," or "Assault guns are not pro-life."
Sure, organizers hoped they did, but whether Boehner saw them or not didn't matter much.
"We are convinced that the folks who go through that gate aren't going to be moved," said Charles Blek, co-president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, based in Laguna Hills.
The crowd was gathered to gain attention so photos could be taken and sent to elected officials, and a community could gather, "behind the Orange Curtain," Blek noted.
Drivers to the fundraiser would have seen several signs bearing the name of a location and the number of people killed there: Sandy Hook, 26 dead. Aurora, 12 dead. VA Tech, 32 dead. Columbine, 13 dead. The last sign: "Next?"
Gun-law reforms have moved slowly through the Senate, and any legislation would face Boehner and Republican opposition in the House.
Admission to the Boehner fundraiser began at $1,000 and reached $32,400.
The protest wrapped up just before 6:30 p.m. with a bell ringing ceremony, each ringing in memory of a victim of gun violence.
It was the first time Rita Lee and Alex Lin of Newport Beach felt strong enough about an issue to join a protest. Lee, a Republican small business owner, and Lin, an emergency-room doctor and Democrat, brought their 10-month old daughter. The couple's 3-year-old son Ethan at one point held a sign that said, "We are Republicans and Democrats".
"We really believe in this," Lin said. "As parents we think it's very important."
"I think people think Orange County is this conservative place you couldn't possibly see people protesting," said the Rev. Sarah Halverson of Fairview Community Church in Costa Mesa. As a person of faith, she said it was important to say she doesn't stand for gun violence.
"Enough is enough," she said.
Daria Shkel, 12, of Vista Verde Elementary, drew two small signs on 8-by-11 sheets of paper, one asking drivers to honk for gun control and one with a gun crossed out. The young can have a good deal of sway over older people, she said.
Teresa Watters of Long Beach, Blek's sister, sat in a median with a sign and said there was a good probability the fundraiser's attendees would notice the protest outside.
"If they don't, their windows are tinted too darkly and they're breaking the law," she said smiling.

Paarl Boys' suffered a shock 24-19 loss at the hands of Boland Landbou on Friday, while Selborne staged a dramatic second-half comeback to beat arch-rivals St Andrew's 28-25 in East London on Saturday.
It was only Paarl Boys' third loss of the season, coming after defeats to Grey College and Affies.
As anticipated, it was a kicking dual that decided the outcome. Boland Landbou flyhalf Tiaan Radyn was his side's hero, scoring 23 points via a try, five penalties and a drop goal. Radyn outshone opposite number Gavin Haupfleisch with superb tactical kicking that kept Paarl Boys' in their own half for much of the game. However, Haupfleisch did score 14 points with the boot, while a penalty try was awarded to his side by Test referee Jonathan Kaplan.
Paarl Boys' lock Johan van der Sluys was the stand-out forward.
Paarl Boys' coach Elmo Wolfaard was disappointed with the result as it is their first loss of season to Cape opposition, although his progress was hampered by lack of preparation due to a number of his players being involved in the Craven Week set-up.
Also in the Western Cape, Wynberg hammered Strand 39-5 on Friday and Bishops annihilated Brackenfell 58-7 on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Selborne trailed 20-0 at the break against St Andrew's, but a colossal team effort saw them claim a dramatic three-point victory.
