Mukilteo students craft special pillows for hospice patients
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Danielle Benedikt (left), a junior at Kamiak High School, dodges pillows added to the pile at Providence Hospice & Homecare's offices in Everett, Jan. 22. Members of the HOPE Club, a service organization at Olympic View Middle School in Mukilteo, donated 193 pillows made by its members. The Providence agency hands out between 60 to 100 pillows a month to clients.
The 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds have lent their helping hands to provide comfort to hospice patients, just one of the community service projects they've undertaken this school year.
Members of the HOPE Club decided to make "butterfly pillows," dozens and dozens of them.
The pillows are shaped in a way that they can support the neck, back, arms and legs of hospice patients.
Amanda Cook, 14, said that some members of the club were drawn to the project because they know hospice patients.
"For me personally ... it was the idea of being able to help somebody who wasn't as well off as I was health-wise," she said.
Cook helped cut the material for the pillows and assisted with hand-sewing along the pillow's finishing edges.
She said she also helped teach some of the seventh-graders how to do the hand-sewing.
The students recently delivered large bags filled with 193 pillows to the Everett offices of Providence Hospice and Home Care of Snohomish County.
"They were really surprised by all our pillows," said Emma Harrison, 12, who is in seventh grade. Her tasks on the project including sewing and stuffing the pillows.
The class started on the project in September, she said.
"It's a good way to give back and not just think about yourself," said 13-year-old Laura Campbell, who is in eighth grade.
Providence Hospice and Home Care distributes 60 to 100 of these pillows a month, made by volunteers throughout the county.
"Those pillows are loved, well used," said Joanie Hemm, a volunteer support specialist with the nonprofit organization. "We're just really happy that they've taken on work for our organization for their project."
The HOPE Club has undertaken sewing projects for hospice for three years, but this year's delivery was the largest ever, said Cheryl Phillip, the club's adviser.
The hospice pillow project is just one of several projects the group is taking on this school year. It also organized a giving tree that helped provide food baskets at Thanksgiving and food and gifts for 15 families at Christmas, she said.
Christmas stockings were delivered to the Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County, and the YWCA's program, Pathways for Woman.
The latest project involves making blankets for Seattle Children's Hospital.
"Every child that spends the night at Children's gets a homemade blanket," Phillip said. "It gives them that extra love."
The club members are intent on giving without seeking recognition, she said. "They just want to give, and that's what makes their lives worth living."
Student Emma Harrison said she would like to keep on helping people. "When you do, and see the expression on their face, when you're doing it or it's done, it's priceless," she said. "It's just a great feeling to know that you've made someone's life so much better."

Andrew Garfield Is a Beautiful Brit – The Daily Swoon
Andrew Garfield plays Spider-Man on the big screen, but he's also a hero in the looks department. And if he's good enough to steal Emma Stone's heart, you know he's good enough for us.
British actor Andrew Garfield already has an impressive resume for a … 29-year-old? What? Look at that face! There's no way this fool is 29. But he is, and back to what we were saying — Garfield has starred in some great films, like 'The Social Network' with Justin Timberlake, 'Never Let Me Go' with Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley fighting for his love (!!!), and last summer's 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' where he swung from building to building and then right into our hearts.
He met current girlfriend Emma Stone while filming 'Spider-Man,' and you know she's got good taste. We've always admired her smarts and humor in interviews and at awards shows, and she seems like she has it pretty much together, which means any dude she picks must be amazing. Also, she's been in two movies where she gets in bed with Ryan Gosling, so, standards.
Garfield is a busy guy, and he's currently gearing up for the 'Amazing Spider-Man' sequel, which means we get to see more of him saving the day — something all pretty guys should be doing on the regular.

ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone's favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.
Appearing at the air festival is a welcome return for Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall.
Graeme, who is Red 10, is the team's commentator and on the ground safety supervisor.
He was educated at nearby St Bee's School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: "We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It's a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can't wait to meet the crowd when I'm on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays."
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It's such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.
The Windermere Air Festival 2011 takes place on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. The Air Base is located on the Glebe in Bowness-on-Windermere. For further information, click on the website below.
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.

Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
Unfortunately this is the first review I have to give 1-star too. This product is so "watered-down" (chemically they use ether, not water, to dilute it), that you have to use two or three times the amount as other lubes to get adequate coverage that lasts. Believe me, when you apply this lube, all you will smell is a strong pungent odor of ether used to dilute it.
This lube bills itself as a semi-dry lube, meaning it doesn't contain wax or fluoropolymers like conventional dry lubes. Unfortunately it doesn't fair well for long-term use. I have to reapply after just a few rides (maybe 100 miles or so), wiping down the chain in between applications with a rag. If you apply too little lube to your chain, you will know instantly - your drivetrain will squeak like it's missing adequate lubricate while riding and there will ample 'feedback' of the drivetrain resistance while pedaling.
As for the "all conditions" claim? I have to say you're better off buying a wet lube and a dry lube and applying them appropriately. In the dry conditions you can get away with this lube, but in the wet, it simply washes away too quickly.
About the only good thing I can say about this lube is it's good for beginners who tend to apply way too much chain lube. I can't even say the cheap price is a positive, because you'll run through it faster than a quality lube because of it being so diluted.
About me: I am a former professional MTB and collegiate XC racer, now turned avid cyclist for recreational fitness and enjoyment. I have over 15 years of cycling experience on all levels.

Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
As far as chain lube goes, this stuff is pretty bottom of the barrel. Seeking something that lasted longer than White Lightnings Clean Ride, I tried a bottle. I followed the directions and applied it to both my mountain and road bike chains and had some mixed results. On my mountain bike, which has Shimano components, it caused a good bit of drivetrain noise and was not smooth at all. I had better results using it on my road bike that is Sram equipped but the performance was still nothing to write home about. It keeps squeaks at bay for a long time but it caused all sort of clunks when shifting and you could feel much more chain/gear feedback in the pedals. Because it is a wet lube it does attract a fair amount of dirt. If you ride in dusty conditions, I'd look for something else.
I stripped it all off and went back to the original Clean ride and despite having to apply it more frequently, I'm much happier with it's performance. It does however work surprisingly well for cable lube or for deraileur pivot points.
Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
Surprised at all the neg. reviews. I would not have purchased this product had I read them first. Fortunately, I didn't bother... I ride in Hawaii where the West side is desert-dusty and the rest of the island can be a muddy slimefest. Lots of rain. So I use this stuff in all conditions and am pleased. My method is pretty simple: After I've ridden maybe 40 miles or so, sometime before the next ride I'll flip my bike upside-down and run a stiff brush over the chainrings, cassette and chain. This takes maybe a minute. Then I apply a generous amount of WL Epic to the chain *rollers only*. That's it! My drive chain stays shiny clean and quiet. If I ride in the mud, I'll do the exact same method, it just takes an extra minute to knock all the dried mud off the chain.
Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
Awful... save your time, frustration, and money. I bought it when lived back east when it was a bit more muggy/wet, but even still... terrible gunk build up. This stuff should be banned from dry climate riding. Go with Pedros Ice Wax. That stuff is perfect. Pedros Dry Lube is good for Moab/Desert riding.
Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
After years of using White Lightning I decided to try Epic. This lube tends to last longer than the original WL but unfortunately also tends to attract more gunk and does not ball up and fall off like the original WL. I had to brush the chain and gears more when using Epic. Overall, a good general purpose bike lube but would not use it on the chain under dusty conditions.
Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
Don't buy! I seriously don't know how anyone reviewed this stuff good. Go look at www.mtbr.com and you will see tons of people saying the same thing. It have nothing to do with other lubes or how I am putting it on either. Everyone I ride with has the same problems with this garbage, even with a solvent cleaned new chain. Just buy normal White Lightning or Rock N' Roll and you will be 10x happier.
Comments about White Lightning Epic Chain Lube:
i used to ride reg white lightning but ran out of botlles too quick.. now i ride epic most of the time the original is still great for very dry dusty trails but in heavy mud doesn't work nearly as well as the epic... the chain and cogs now stay clean... not just the chain

IRS pays whistleblower $104 million
Tuesday - 9/11/2012, 5:55pm EDT
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - First, the government threw Bradley Birkenfeld in prison for helping a former client at UBS AG hide his wealth from the Internal Revenue Service. Now, as part of the same case, the IRS has awarded the former banker $104 million _ yes, million _ for helping expose the widespread tax evasion scheme by the Swiss banking behemoth.
The dizzyingly abrupt turnabout in Birkenfeld's life leaves him with the largest government whistleblower award ever to an individual, said Stephen M. Kohn, one of Birkenfeld's attorneys and executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center. The center is a nonpartisan group that defends employees' disclosures of wrongdoing and waste.
The size of the award, announced Tuesday by Birkenfeld's lawyers and confirmed by the IRS, reflects an investigation that resulted in UBS being fined $780 million. It also led to an unprecedented agreement requiring UBS to give the U.S. government the names of 4,700 Americans who held secret overseas accounts and the recovery by the IRS of $5 billion in back taxes and penalties from other taxpayers with overseas accounts under agency amnesty programs, Kohn said.
More broadly, the award is a resounding signal to other financiers with information about tax wrongdoing that the IRS' program will treat them properly, said Kohn, who in an interview called Birkenfeld "the Babe Ruth of whistleblowers."
"It's not about Brad," Kohn said. "It's about how other sources of information, other bankers view the U.S. whistleblower program."
Birkenfeld has become something of a cause celebre among whistleblowers because of the magnitude of his case and the fact that he was jailed after cooperating with authorities. His lawyers say he discovered UBS' illegal activities in 2005, and after the company failed to change them he went to U.S. authorities with the information in 2007.
Birkenfeld, 47, served 31 months of a 40 month prison sentence after pleading guilty in 2008 to a count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. related to his work for UBS. The Justice Department said Birkenfeld did not reveal his own misconduct in helping a client, a charge his attorneys say is not true.
As Birkenfeld entered prison in 2010, he called his treatment an injustice, saying, "I'm a proud American who did the best I could for my country and this is how they reward me."
His time was cut short for good behavior in prison and "they did not take one minute off his sentence" for his cooperation with the IRS on the UBS case, Kohn said.
Kohn said Birkenfeld left prison in August and is now confined to a house in a New Hampshire conference center _ he did not say where _ and works as a groundskeeper to satisfy his release requirement for a job. He said his home confinement ends in November, when he will begin three years on parole.
"This is the day I thought would never come," said a statement issued by Douglas Birkenfeld on his brother's behalf. "This is a monumental day not only for me, but for every whistleblower worldwide."
Bradley Birkenfeld did not appear at a Washington news conference held by his lawyers, who said their client did not have government permission to talk to reporters.
Kohn said Birkenfeld has already received his check _ from which the IRS has already withheld taxes. He would not how much was withheld.
Gordon Schnell, a New York lawyer who has handled whistleblower work and is not involved in Birkenfeld's case, said the huge award signaled a possible turnabout by the IRS whistleblower office, which he said has had a reputation for doing very little. The agency's latest annual report said that in 2011, its whistleblower office received nearly 7,500 cases and had a staff of 18 people.
"It's sending out a message to whistleblowers, `Don't stop coming. Our doors are now open for real and we will listen to you,'" said Schnell.
Still, Schnell said he wondered why the IRS said so little about the award and failed to publicize it energetically to attract more whistleblowers. The agency acknowledged Birkenfeld's award in terse written remarks by a spokeswoman, Michelle Eldridge.
She said privacy laws bar the agency from saying much about the case. She said Birkenfeld signed a disclosure waiver allowing them to confirm his award.
"The IRS believes that the whistleblower statute provides a valuable tool to combat tax non-compliance, and this award reflects our commitment to the law," Eldridge said.
The Justice Department said it would let the IRS comment on the Birkenfeld case.

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!Learn more about our free engraving

OXFORD, Ohio -- Sophomore Brian Thene allowed just one hit over four innings, striking out three, and junior Dan Walsh went 2-for-3 to lift the Red Team to a 2-1 victory Friday afternoon at McKie Field. With the win, Coach Jeremy Ison's team clinched the annual Red and White Series over Coach John Lackoff's squad.

Charlie Suich worked out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth, getting John Crummy to hit into a double play.
White team starter Brooks Fiala allowed just one run in five innings and also escaped a bases-loaded situation, stranding all three runners in the fifth.

I think if pau is having a bad game like tonight then MWP should play the 4, Kobe the 3, and Meeks the 2. I thought tonight since Jamison didnt get a minutes of playing time when he should then thats the unit with Dwight that should have been out there. Either that unit OR Hill subbing in for Pau.
It should depend on how players are playing and earning their minutes. tonight i thought Meeks and especially Hill earned their minutes and one of them should have finished the game. imo it should have been nash/kobe/mwp/hill/dwight.
dwight and pau both were bad but were trying to get dwight to resign with us...you play him and hill instead of pau
Yeah, guys like Jarrett Jack and Nick Young got about 40 minutes when they were torching us. But last night, Nick Young was cold, so he only played 14.
Smart to go with the hot hand. Can't just play a guy on a roll for only 20 minutes because that's his season average. Hill should have had 40 minutes.

Martinez's Five-Point Day Keys Women's Soccer's 6-0 Win at St. Andrews; Host Limestone in Tournament Opener Monday
October 30, 2010
Story Courtesy of St. Andrews Sports Information
LAURINBURG, N.C. - Freshman Mariah Martinez (League City, Texas) had a five-point performance to lead No. 8 Southeast Region ranked Pfeiffer University to an impressive 6-0 Conference Carolinas womens soccer victory at St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Falcons (11-5-1 Overall, 8-2-0 Conf.) concluded the regular season with five consecutive shutouts to finish with an imposing 7-1-1 record in the month of October. The Lady Knights (3-15-0, 3-7-0) were held scoreless for the fifth straight match heading into postseason play.
St. Andrews will return to the Conference Carolinas Tournament after a one year hiatus in 2009. The Knights, who were picked 10th in the preseason coaches poll, earned the eighth and final bid and will play at top-seeded Belmont Abbey College. Pfeiffer finished in a three-way tie for second place in the league standings and was awarded the No. 3 seed. The Falcons will host No. 6 Limestone College with both showdowns scheduled for 2 PM kickoffs of Monday.
Other quarterfinal pairings include No. 2 Queens University of Charlotte hosting No. 7 Erskine College and No. 4 Lees-McRae College entertaining No. 5 Mount Olive College. Those two tilts are slated for 7 PM starts.
Junior goalie Amanda Wemple (Hayden Lake, Idaho) only needed to make one save on a 20-yard strike by SAPC senior Becky Brandenburg (Swansboro, N.C.) in the 51st minute to preserve the Falcons sixth shutout. Pfeiffer has not allowed a goal for the last 527 minutes (almost nine hours) of game action, which is just four minutes off the Pfeiffer school record.
Martinez and senior Lindsey Godwin (Raleigh, N.C.) each scored two goals. Godwin put the Falcons ahead on the games first shot just 65 seconds into play off a series of passes from senior Megan Reaves (Mims, Fla.) and junior Megan Weston (Olathe, Kan.). Martinez netted both of her goals in the final eight minutes of the first half to extend the Falcon advantage to three goals at halftime. The sophomore duo of Kaylie Lawing (Weston, Fla.) and Rachael Shapelow (Swan Point, Md.) provided the helpers on the two Martinez goals.
The Falcons added three more goals in the second half as Pfeiffer has outscored its opponents 24-0 in the squads last five trips to the pitch. Goodwin found the back twine for a second time in the 47th minute before senior Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, Md.) and freshman Joi Chrishon (Fayetteville, N.C.) scored the Falcons final goals.
Junior Alyssa Wombwell added an assist as nine different Pfeiffer players notched points. Pfeiffer finished with a dominating 36-2 shot advantage and a 9-0 corner kick surplus.
Senior Becca Knott (Jacksonville, N.C.) had a busy day between the pipes for the Royal Blue and White, making 13 saves on 19 shots on goal.

Miami Hockey Postgame Quotes
Miami vs. Ohio State
Saturday, March 2, 2013
Steve Cady Arena - Oxford, Ohio
Head Coach Enrico
On winning the CCHA regular-season championship:
"I've said it before that the regular-season championship is a difficult one to win because you have to be good consistently for six months and you have to win in different buildings and play on the road, long road trips, and sometimes through some sickness and injuries. If you're fortunate enough to be in a position to win one, it's pretty amazing. As far as this team is concerned, I don't think anyone would have picked them to do anything. For them to set themselves up at the beginning of the year to just go out and play and have fun for each other, I'm so proud in the way they've conducted themselves."
On the night as a
"Like I said, you want to put all the drama in one evening: the last CCHA regular-season game against your rival for a CCHA championship and it's Senior Night. And you had guys dropping the puck that started the program. Why not, right? It's a good feeling right now, and we'll enjoy it for the night, and tomorrow we'll start putting a plan together for whoever we play next."
On winning the final
CCHA championship:
"I don't want to be sentimental at this point in the season because there's still so much hockey to be played, but it's a big deal. We can say that we won the last one. I'm sad that the CCHA's going away, but everyone had to make a decision for the best interest of their programs, including Ohio State and Miami. It just so happens that we have to put an end to it."
Senior forward Curtis
On winning the final CCHA regular-season championship:
"That trophy's forever ours now."
On the team as a
"This team's unbelievable, the amount of trust we have in each other. I haven't been on this fun of a team, and how hard everyone works for each other night in and night out, practice in and practice out. It's been a blast with 26 great guys on our team who are all leaders. It's a special, special win."
Senior captain and
defenseman Steven Spinell
On what defined this team:
"We call it "The Brotherhood," but this year more than any other we really lived it."
On winning the CCHA
regular-season title:
"Of course it's a huge honor to win the league championship, but we have bigger aspirations to come here."
Freshman forward Riley
On the team's chemistry:
"That's why we play so hard for each other, because we love each other so much. And it's kind of cliché to say that you love your brother, but it really is true."
On leading the team in
scoring as a freshman:
"It's something you don't think about a lot. Whenever I can put the team in a good spot to win games I'm happy. To be able to be a key contributor to a great team like this is something pretty awesome and I'm glad I could do it with these guys."

A Bear Creek native will soon open the doors to a new local restaurant that will serve dishes made with local catch.
She'Lia Brinson is set to open Capt. V.P's on the bridges between Swansboro and Cedar Point on July 10. The restaurant will offer seafood purchased from local fisherman and takes its name after Brinson's father who lives in the Outer Banks and is a boat captain of many years.
"He did not know about the restaurant until Father's Day when I surprised him with the news," Brinson said. "He's been very humble throughout everything and it's taken me a while to break him to this idea, but we've been fishing this entire coast for a long time and are excited to finally get started."
Brinson has previously worked as a paramedic and as flight attendant for Midway Airline and, most recently, for Jet Blue where she was based in
"I've been so blessed to have met all of these wonderful people who will be staff here. These guys have really worked day and night putting in hard work to get these doors open so we can give back to the community and the local fisherman," Brinson said.
Capt. V.P's hopes to have a positive impact on the local economy by purchasing fish and crustaceans gathered by local fisherman. The food will be cleaned, prepared, cooked and served by more than 30 full and part employees. James Farrell, head chef of Capt. V.P.'s, has many years of experience working in the kitchen at many local establishments in the area.
"I feel like it was fate that brought us together," Farrell said. "It's taken us a full month of non-stop work, but it's been wonderful. As far as food, the pork tenderloin has to be one of my favorite things we are doing here. We try to put little twists on our dishes and keep them as close to a southern style as possible."
Farrell says the menu will also offer items like apple coleslaw, seafood stuffed chicken, pork belly appetizers, grouper, swordfish, spot and any other kind of fresh fish that can be caught locally. There will be an after-hours menu, as well as healthy choices on the children's menu.
The restaurant will be open from until on the weekdays and until on Fridays and Saturdays. The bar will stay open until the last person leaves, according to Bar Manager Mickie Locklear
"Our signature drink will be served in a mason jar called 'Sound water' and is made out of melon, iced tea and wheat grass. On Fridays and Saturdays we also have liquor infused cupcakes for adults," Locklear said.
The building has been through numerous owners over the past six decades, and longtime Swansboro residents still reminisce about Bull's Restaurant, which became Laurie Anne's Kitchen and later Nicky's over the course of the last decade. New additions for Capt. V.P.'s include a live music station, free wifi and a new interior.
What has stayed the same, however, is the stunning view out onto the waters of the
"I want to thank all the businesses around me for welcoming me so warmly," said Brinson with a laugh. "I've eaten at their restaurants more than I have at home since all of this has began."

Jingle Dancer
Jingle Dancer (Hardcover)
Related Editions
Jenna, a contemporary Muscogee (Creek) girl in Oklahoma, wants to honor a family tradition by jingle dancing at the next powwow. But where will she find enough jingles for her dress? An unusual, warm family story, beautifully evoked in Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu's watercolor art.
Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies 2001, National Council for SS & Child. Book Council
About the Author
Like Rain, author Cynthia Leitich Smith was raised, at least in part, in northeastern Kansas. Smith attended college in Douglas County, the home of fictional Hannesburg, and completed a journalism degree at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. During college, she worked at a few small-town newspapers as a reporter. Then she earned a law degree at the University of Michigan. Today she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and two gray tabby cats. She's a mixed blood, enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Cynthia Smith is also the author of the picture book Jingle Dancer, which Publishers Weekly called a "heartening portrait of a harmonious meshing of old and new"In Her Own Words
I'm a mid-to-southwestern kind of gal. Growing up, I lived in the Kansas City area, on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line, and as I grew older, I lived in Oklahoma, Michigan, and Illinois. Today Austin, Texas, is my home.
I was an only child, whose constant companions were a dog named Sir Gahald XIII (but called "Tramp") and an array of library books.
I developed an interest in reading at an early age, and won my local public library reading contest in Grandview, Missouri, when I was in the third grade. Some of my favorite books were Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume; and Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Through reading I cultivated a desire to write, and published my first piece in the "Dear Gaby" column in the sixth-grade paper.
My interest in writing continued through high school, during which I edited the newspaper and pursued both dancing and cheerleading. After finishing high school in 1986, I went on to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. There I spent much of my time writing as a minority issues reporter for the campus newspaper and eventually completed my undergraduate studies in 1991 with a degree in journalism.
I never thought of writing and reading fiction as a viable career option, and so I finished law school in 1994, where I had been president of the Native American Law Student's Association. For a while I worked in a federal law job in Chicago, but I was bored. I decided that in order to be happy I needed to turn to something that not only mattered to me, but also affected others in a positive way. So I quit my job and embarked on a new career as a children's author
What I enjoy most about writing are the challenges. I like writing for different genres, and have so far written a picture book, a chapter book, and a middle-grade novel. Truthfully, I just want to continue improving. Once I create my characters, they begin to fashion the setting and plot around themselves. I assume very little at the beginning, and am always surprised by what I find.
I know that people often characterize my stories as "Native American" or of some similar nature and that's fine for reference purposes, but I intend for my books to go deeper than that. I try to weave real life into the stories naturally, helping me to attain my goal of offering a unique cultural and literary world through characters that laugh, cry, breathe, and, most importantly, live.

ONE of the most important collections of watercolour paintings in the world is heading our way.
More than 40 works from the exquisite holdings of Sir Hickman Beckett Bacon (1855-1945), an avid collector of English watercolours between 1895 and the First World War, will be on show at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, from January 12 until April 14.
Now owned by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the precious paintings will be loaned to the Kendal gallery for its next exhibition - Turner and his Contemporaries: The Hickman Bacon Watercolour Collection.
Abbot Hall chief executive Gordon Watson was thrilled at the prospect of the eminent display, which should have the eyes of the nation's arts world focused on the important regional gallery.
In fact, a fitting time to stage such a grand show as Abbot Hall celebrates a half century since its opened its celebrated doors.
Gordon added: "Fifty years ago on September 28, 1962, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret officially opened the gallery and since then Abbot Hall has established itself as one of the most significant and ambitious galleries in the north of England."
Rarely aired in public, the collection will be shown alongside highlights from Abbot Hall's own permanent collection of watercolours.
Sir Nicholas said that he was delighted to be able to lend the paintings to Abbot Hall.
He continued: "My great uncle Sir Hickman Bacon (Hicky) had unusual tastes for his time and thus the collection is very strong in the type of late, ethereal Turner watercolours that only became widely popular with the advent of abstract painting in the 1940s and 50s. Equally, John Sell Cotman, an artist who had only just emerged from total obscurity, was of particular interest.
"Hicky's collection represents English watercolour painting at its greatest; like so many collectors he was not interested by the fashion of the day, but he was committed to collecting those objects which fulfilled his heartfelt love of beauty."
Born in 1855 into a family of landed gentry, Sir Hickman was educated at Eton. He joined the army, later returning to his old-fashioned family mansion. He suffered from ill health early in his life, and remained a bachelor until he died in 1945. He also collected fabrics, wall hangings, ceramics and Japanese prints – a collection he gave to the Japanese Government.
Abbot Hall collections manager Nick Rogers said that an exhibition of watercolours from the 'remarkable' Hickman Bacon collection was a cause for celebration wherever it was held. He added: "That it is taking place in Kendal, Cumbria, is particularly appropriate, as this is an area that played a significant role in the development of watercolour as the medium of choice for the itinerant artist in the late 18th and early 19th Century."
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.

DARKE COUNTY - Two key Darke County organizations are moving front and center in downtown Greenville soon.
Both the Darke County Visitor's Bureau and Main Street Greenville are planning to relocate to the center of South Broadway, right next to the KitchenAid Experience, in a move that increases their visibility and potential outreach.
"There's so many opportunities in that space, and that's what's so great about it," said Deanna York, Executive Director at Darke County Visitors Bureau. "The ideas we have now, we can bring to fruition."
The Darke County Visitor's Bureau and Main Street Greenville (formerly Downtown Greenville Inc.) organizations are currently located in joint second floor offices in the Greenville Palace, where they've shared the space for seven years.
"There's always been a great relationship, because the visitor's bureau sees Main Street Greenville as a destination, and we promote it as such," said York. "We believe in the mission of the organization and the way it's headed."
Now for the second time, the visitor's bureau has asked Main Street Greenville to share the building with their strong partners.
"We're thrilled for the opportunity," said Amber Garrett, executive director of Main Street Greenville. "Having a partnership with the Visitor's Bureau has been a blessing for Downtown Greenville and Main Street Greenville."
The new location is in The Ohio Block Building at 421 South Broadway, and was built way back in 1883. Many different shops have been housed in over the past 131 years, including hardware stores, drug stores, dress shops and appliance stores.
The Darke County Visitor's Bureau Board of Directors originally looked at the space in November, where they were immediately impressed with the historic location and ground floor accessibility.
"It offered so many opportunities for us as the visitor's bureau to get information out to tourists, but also to educate local people," said York. "Because it's part of our mission to educate about the importance of tourism."
Local businessman, Ted Abney, purchased The Ohio Block Building in 2013, and is excited to work with the two forward-thinking organizations.
"The buildings downtown were made for investments into organizations like Main Street Greenville and the Darke County Visitor's Bureau," he said.
The Main Street Greenville Board of Directors approved the move with the visitor's bureau on Thursday. Both organizations have previously hoped for more downtown visibility, and are now entertaining plans to host events and showcase local talent at the extra space.
"We have a lot of very talented people in our community, including artists, painters, crafters, potters and jewelry makers," said York. "The idea of being able to feature some of the artists in our community, that's something we could do in this space."
While there is no move-in date currently planned, the visitor's bureau is committed to fulfilling their current lease in The Palace until July 31.
Currently the organizations have no set plans for an open house, but they hope to celebrate the opening with a large event coinciding with a future First Friday event.

Alissa loves to trick the untrickable. Ally took some convincing but after a little small talk it was on! Ally has a tight pussy with an abundance of juices, moist and tender to say the least! Come savour this rare delicacy sooner than later!
These black bad girls are desperate for pleasure! They begin the scene with one girl bent over the edge of the couch while the other girl fingers her holes from the back. She almost fists the girl, stretching her tight pink pussy right out with her hands. Then the girls get out a pair of dildos, taking turns to plug each others' moist, shaved holes. They are moaning like crazy while they fuck each other, desperate to cum. Then they pull out a new toy, a massive, purple, double ended dildo. They go ass to ass, slapping their firm buttocks together while they pleasure each other with the double ended dong. What filthy lesbian sluts!
Christ on a bike, Alyssa is one unforgettably hot lesbian gem! She knows exactly what parts of her body to accentuate when her straight girlfriends come around. Today, she's sporting an ultra-short sequin miniskirt that would drive any goddamn person insane with lust, male or female. She compliments on Julie's tight denim jeans, and even going as far as to grab her butt and press against her pussy through the material! Julie is a very cute, very petite brunette with full, natural tits. She quickly succumbs to Alyssa's smoldering charms and expert tongue... So many hot, impressionable girls and so little time.
A cute little blonde in pigtails was sitting on a chair, rubbing her titties and had her hand down the front of her panties when her girlfriend from school approached her. The girl started to lick and spread her girlfriend's pussy as she buried her face in between her legs and started eating her out. The blonde rubbed her friend as she bent over and then stuffed her fingers inside of her. They brought a black dildo to play with and the pigtailed blonde first got it shoved into her twat. Then the other girl shoved another dildo into her own wet snatch as the two girls made out together on the chair.
Max wondered why Monica never brought any guys into their home that they live in together. Max confesses that she is sick of men and she is taking a break from them for awhile. Monica admits the same and then the girls talk about Monica's tendency to wear lingerie around the house. Monica says she just wants Max's opinion on the sexy lingerie and models some more for her. Then Max has a hangover and Monica is taking care of her every need. She takes care of her by rubbing her all over her body and then shows Max just how much fun it can be being with a woman. Monica goes to work eating and fingering Max's pussy for her first time lesbo scene.

Comments about Sixsixone Riot Knee Guard 2012:
Horrible pad for the money. If you're not pedaling at all, the pad will stay in place. But even a little bit of gravity riding and pumping the bike over berms or etc., and the pad slowly becomes ankle armor.
Best Uses
Comments about Sixsixone Riot Knee Guard 2012:
Although these knees pads are very comfortable, they fail to stay on your knees as they are falling off constantly. Also after about a month of riding with them they started to tear and are know falling apart. I would highly recommend going with the Rage knees pads instead of these.
Best Uses
Comments about Sixsixone Riot Knee Guard 2012:
In a half hour of riding I pulled these knee pads back up 4 times. I tossed them in the truck and gave up. I did not want the whole ride to be bad.
I ride mountain and road bikes and have a little shape in my legs. Maybe that it the problem. My knees are smaller then my upper and lower leg so the single top strap slides to small part. If your legs are not skinny and strait don't bother with these. I'm thinking of sewing some Velcro on as a bottom strap to hold them above the calf muscle. Might work? Other wise they are junk.

Comments about Sixsixone Riot Knee Guard 2012:
These knee pads were a little uncomfortable in the beginning but as you broke them in, they almost felt like you weren't wearing them. But after a couple of rides (no wrecks), they teared and I returned them. But that's was probably because of my size (I'm 190LB). So I still think they are great, but if you're a big guy like me, I'd recommend that you get something else...
