Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
This bill is long past due, I sure am hoping and praying that it can pass. The true issue here is overbreeding. Like the overpopulation of the pet problem of dogs and cats there are too many irresponsible owners that breed for no reason. This must stop
This is a Sick act to begin with. When they round them up and pen them up in conditions WORSE than what you'll EVER see on T.V from Animal Planet Horse rescues....
What needs to happen instead is; The horse industry needs to get a chance to balance itself without the falsely inflated prices that the slaughter plants are willing to pay. Horse owners and breeders need to be responsible for the humane beginning and ending of a horses life. Humane Euthanazia is not an insurmountable cost, 75 dollars if performed by a licensed veterinarian and removal of the carcass may be another $100.
Horses simply are not raised as slaughter animals, and have received many medications and substances such as phenylbutazone (bute) that are banned for use in slaughter animals, the meat will therefore never be suitable or safe for human consumption. By allowing horse meat for human consumption and spending tax dollars for this purpose, we are opening our government to a huge liability and will in fact become responsible for the poisoning of horse meat eating countries; the legal ramifications could be huge. There is no way to protect the consumer and if there was, it would cost a lot more than 5 million.
We have almost 10 million domestic horses in America. The approximate amount of 100,000 horses ending up in foreign slaughter plants are in all reality only 1% of the horse population. Not an insurmountable amount to be absorbed back into society as the pro slaughter "United Organizations of the horse" would like us to believe. It would take only a slight adjustment of the breeding industry, to make sure that every horse in America would have a good home.
It is the want and need for human attention and praise that gives the horse its incredible versatility. It is these same qualities that are a major factor in the assessment of the amount of mental and physical suffering involved with horse slaughter. The myth that horse slaughter can be in any way quick or humane, is a wishfull, far fetched stretch of the truth to say the very least.
We gain nothing by it. Horse slaughter plants are all foreign owned corporations. Every argument for preserving the barbaric practice of horse slaughter, is greed motivated, un-factual and clearly deceptive. Horse slaughter is unacceptable and beyond un-necessary. It is time to find solutions to the problems we create without compromising our humanity.
We are speaking for those who can't speak for themselves . Please ban horse slaughter!
Thank you
So what are you planning to do with all the surplus horses from for example, the racing industry ? Until there is a viable option in place you can't just go banging on about "stop this it's inhumane". I don't like it but I like starving neglected horses even less.
1.The Risks of Bute: (VERY LOW) Aplastic anaemia is rare. Historic evidence suggests around one person in 30,000 exposed to bute when used as a human medicine suffered a serious side-effect, but they were exposed to significantly higher doses than any residue likely to have entered the food chain. Residues found in horses testing positive for bute have been a thousandth of the therapeutic human dose. The Food Standards Agency advice has been that the risk exists but is very low.
2. Those livestock brokers (kill buyers) save more lives, then are known! Many buy underweight, untrained horses. Get them back to a healthy weight, and if they can trains the horse and resells it. Also, I find it funny that HSUS makes you believe these type are evil, but yet trust them to house horses. I'm going to tell you a true story that happened to a friend of mine (livestock broker). There was a guy who had three horses, he owned them for quite a few years, never once neglected or abandoned, he lost his job, tried taking them to a sale, could not sell them. Brought them home, and posted for sale, hoping someone would take them. Instead HSUS got news of these horses with very little feed (as the man was running out), so they came seized the horses, turned them over to my friend (known kill buyer) paid him 1,000 dollars a month plus bought hay. And proceeded to take this guy to court. Now wouldn't it have made more sense to buy the man hay? But nope HSUS would rather act like they are out for welfare of animals, when they are first to spread lies to help there agenda! To stop agriculture!
3. Those that chose to let there horse loose, instead of taking to a horse sale, do need prosecuted! But you will never catch all of them! Also people need to realize domestic horses cannot survive in the wild! They usually suffer starvation, or get hit by vehicles.
4. Us cattle folks are standing up for this, because some of us use horses on the ranch, and want to be able to make a profit on the working livestock as well.
5. Everyone brings up how horrible it would be to have a slaughter house in your town! Well it ain't no different then our cattle, pigs, and poultry slaughter houses we have now
6. As I am also in the sport of horses and frankly I believe horse racing is more inhumane than slaughter! making an animal compete at such high levels at an early age and having the bute pounded in them to stay sound that my friend is INHUMANE! I've seen it all over the horse show world as well! My horses win, drug free! If you have to drug a horse that is not winning in my book!
7.Put your money where your mouth is then? So your not worried about how much it costs a year! Good for you, but what about the land issue? Where are you going to put every horse? Without over crowding them? If you own horses you know there is a shortage of hay this year, so what are all the horses supposed to eat in the dead of winter? Or even in summer, cuz with the over population of horses, pastures are not being properly managed, and overgrazed? So banning slaughter, you just sentence more unwanted horses, overall welfare of all horses as then the wanted horses are suffering, because you want to save every horse!!
8. I read a statement the other day that says it all "to treat an animal HUMANELY, doesn't mean treat them as a human!"
9. I'm very much educated and have looked into this subject! See.. I was like you a few years ago, no don't kill my pretty horse! I met my husband who is pro slaughter, we had many debates about the subject! So I was determined like you to prove him wrong. Instead I got proven wrong! The drugs are not as toxic as PETA and HSUS want you to believe! I realized by my research these animal rights groups come up with bogus facts to line there pockets. I have seen the videos and pictures, that is what is happening to them now by forcing them over the border! Yes, they have always been shipped across the border however we need it back as then there will be many more humanely killed! I've seen the devastating fact, that horses that should be worth tens of thousands go for only $500. That is not in the best interest of the horse! I see to many adds stating looking for a free horse! There should be no such thing! Because if you can't afford to pay for an animal then you certainly can't afford to feed one and all the other cares that come with horses!
10. Banning slaughter will only bring more nut jobs like this out! Stop hiding behind arguments of breeders, cuz most responsible breeders have cut back! Theproblem is you have to many "oh my mare is pretty (even though she can't be riddrn!) And your stud is pretty, we should breed to have a pretty baby! " people like that and im sure there is some on here are the problem! Can't wait till slaughter is legal again! It's coming folks, no matter how much you cry about it!
11. I can speak from personal experience a horse is like any other animal, can turn on you without warning! Had two geldings do this to me! One i broke and rode for almost a year was a total sweety, then one night he was his same sweet self, saddled him up, got on him, without warning in a blink of an eye he was a bronco at the nfr! Found absolutely no reason for it, tack properly fit, nothing new about the ride! The next one I only owned for two weeks as he was manageable for the most part but then one day walked out he lunged at my son just walking by the pen, would not allow me to catch him! Had to rope him, had him evsluated by a vet (which was hard as he would constantly try and kick and bite us)! Anyway after trying to figure put why the change and was no reason other than something in his brain, he was shipped for safety concern for my child! So no horses are never predictable! Ive seen kid broke horses turn! They are animals and have a mind of there own! Stop putting them on a human pedastle!
12.I've trained and showed many cattle as well as horses! Every animal has a difference, but the point is they are all livestock, and have there own minds! I've even had two cows, I could put a halter on, jump on there back and ride around the pasture, like I would my horse!
And Finally... euthanasia is Poison! It's chemicals that kill the horse!
This is a disgusting and vile act that should not be allowed to continue . horses are what macks this word living for !!!!!!!!!!!
I am totally in favor of banding slaughterhouses and the transporting of horses out of the US for slaughter. But someone has to come up with a viable way to humanely euthanize these horses. I have gone to horse auctions, where trailers meant for cattle are lined up outside awaiting all the kill horses that no one will buy at auction. I am so distressed when I see this. But I don't see any recommendation as to how this situation should be handled instead.

BUFFALO, New York - Senior Zac Dysert became Miami's all-time leading passer, but Patrick Clarke's 47-yard field goal on the final play of the game lifted Buffalo to a 27-24 victory over Miami Saturday afternoon at UB Stadium. Clarke's kick, with a stiff wind behind him, was set up by Devin Campbell's 47-yard kickoff return to the RedHawks' 35 just two plays earlier.
Miami (4-5, 3-2) seemed to be heading to overtime after Dysert engineered a 16-play, 75-yard drive that tied the game at 24 with just 23 seconds remaining. Nick Harwell capped the march with a one-yard touchdown catch, but two fourth-down conversions -- the latter on a 22-yard catch by Andy Cruse on fourth-and-20 -- served as highlights.
Dysert finished the game with 242 yards through the air, passing Ben Roethlisberger (10,829 from 2001-03) for the No. 1 in the Miami record books.
After the teams played to a 3-3 deadlock in the first half, the scoring opened up in the second with the teams combining for 48 points. Buffalo (2-7, 1-4) surged ahead 24-17 on an eight-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a diving 21-yard catch by Fred Lee. Earlier, the Bulls lined up to attempt a field goal, but a bad snap scramble led to a diving first-down catch. A roughing the passer penalty at the same time tacked on another 11 yards to the Miami 11.
On Buffalo's first drive of the second half, Branden Oliver's five-yard run capped the Bulls' eight-play, 75-yard drive to put UB on top 10-3 with 9:49 left on the clock.
On Miami's second possession, Dysert artfully led the RedHawks on a nine-play, 72-yard touchdown drive. His 23-yard pass to Spencer Treadwell moved the footballl over mid-field. Dysert scrambled for 13 yards to the UB 28. A 13-yard pass to Harwell gave Dysert Miami's career passing record, eclipsing the nine-year-old mark held by Ben Roethlisberger. Dysert's 10-yard TD pass to Harwell, his 64th career TD toss, capped a nine-play, 72-yard drive that took up four minutes and 21 seconds.
UB quickly responded, using only three plays to go 70 yards for a TD. The capping play was Joe Licata's 43-yard scoring pass to Alex Neutz.
Miami roared back with a time-consuming 75-yard drive that saw 5:08 eaten up on the clock by 13 plays. Harwell's one-yard TD catch from Dysert and Kaleb Patterson PAT tied the score at 17-17 apiece. It was Harwell's 20th career touchdown catch.
On the very next Buffalo possession, the Bulls' drive stalled with a wind-aided punt that landed at Miami's own 12-yard line.
Dysert and the RedHawks were driving down the field, but a forced fumble after Andy Cruse's 18-yard catch gave the ball back to Buffalo at midfield.
Buffalo attempted a 49-yard field goal on fourth down, but the snap was poor, causing holder Tony Daniel to fumble the ball. He scrambled and just before being tackled by D.J. Brown, completed a desperation pass to Alex Dennison, placing the ball inside the 20. On the very next play, Licata hit Fred Lee on the 21-yard touchdown pass, boosting Buffalo's lead to 24-17.
Miami realitated on the next drive to knot the game, 24-24, but it was not enough as the Bulls pulled out the 27-24 win as time expired.
The RedHawks return home to host Kent State at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Customer Raves & Reviews
wedding invitations, RSVP, enclosure card
I was so impressed with my wedding invitations. I had a few different samples made by another company and I am SO glad I went with MagnetStreet. They did such a great job! I ordered on a Monday and they were delivered within 4 days! I LOVE THEM!
Beautiful and feels like high quality
I've used Magnet Street for Save the Dates, invites, response cards, and programs now and used a promotion code every time -- each product has been exactly what I wanted at a reasonable cost.
Great finished product, slow formatting process
My fave thing about Magnet Street is that you can alter almost EVERYTHING on the invitation. I was able to keep the funky layout, but format the info to fit my needs. Another exciting feature was that I got to change the colors in the design! Most invitation sites don't let you do that. The only negative experience I had with Magnet Street was with the editing program. It was slow to respond when dealing with text and sometimes refused to work at all. However, with a little patience and time I was able to figure it out. Overall, I didn't mind figuring out the odd formatting program, because I got exactly what I wanted in the end. Also, the customer service people are very nice and extremely helpful. I will definitely be sharing this site with my family and friends.
Looks perfect
We chose to change the color of these cards to match our wedding colors, the result was perfect! We stuck with most of the recommended wording but changed some things to reflect our event. There was plenty of room to also add our wedding website to help give guests more information without cluttering the invitiation or spending more on additional inserts, etc. After playing with the idea of making our own invitations to save money I am so glad that we chose to go this route instead, they have a lovely weight and are very clean and professional, the printing and artwork detail is gorgeous!- totally worth it.
Wonderful Product
Very happy with the invitations and RSVP cards. Would recommend Magnet Street to a friend in a heart beat!

Lady Falcon Volleyball Earns Another Split in Final Day of L-R Invitational
August 29, 2009
HICKORY, N.C. Pfeiffer University split another pair of matches on Saturday afternoon in the final day of the 2009 Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational. The Lady Falcons won their first contest of the day with a 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-10) sweep of Elizabeth City State. Pfeiffer had the tables turn in the afternoon match against host Lenoir-Rhyne falling 3-0 (11-25, 22-25, 22-25) to the Bears. The Lady Falcons stand even at 2-2 after the opening weekend of play.
An early start time on day two of the L-R Invitational didnt have any effect on the Lady Falcons as they cruised to their second straight win with a quick sweep of Elizabeth City State. Pfeiffer as a team hit at 27% for the match, swinging at an impressive 48% clip in the third and final set.
Much like day one, Kristina Mordini and Vanessa Gerig led the way for the Lady Falcons against the Vikings. Mordini registered a dozen kills hitting at 36% for the match. Gerig picked up 29 assists while serving up another seven aces.
Mordini and Gerig werent the only ones with an offensive output in the morning contest. Freshman Jordan OBryant swung at 62% for the match while fellow newcomer Abbie Ovbey slammed home seven kills. Victoria Parrish also tossed in a half-dozen kills in the Lady Falcons victory.
Pfeiffer didnt fare very well in the hitting department against the Bears as their attack percentage broke even in sets one and three. The Lady Falcons successful sent 27 kills to floor against Lenoir-Rhyne but faltered with 24 attacking errors allowing the Bears to pull away in the afternoon match.
Mordini and Ovbey led Pfeiffer offensively in match two each picking up seven kills. Totals for opening weekend saw the Lady Falcons outhit their opponents by a slight margin of 5%, but as a team, racked up 36 service aces which was three times more than all four of their weekend opponents combined.
Pfeiffer returns to volleyball action over the Labor Day weekend with three games at the Limestone Crossover in Gaffney, SC. The Lady Falcons will battle against Newberry on Friday before a pair of matches against Lander and North Greenville on Saturday.

Dog Alcohol Poisoning
Dog Alcohol Poisoning
Dogs cannot tolerate ingesting alcohol as well as humans do as their metabolisms are not adapted to processing alcohol as ours have over mankind's development. Depending on the amount consumed, a dog can suffer from alcohol poisoning rather quickly. Though we may like to enjoy the occasional beer or glass of wine, it is important that we keep such beverages away from the dogs residing in our home.
Absorption Rate
When alcohol is consumed, its primary ingredient, ethanol, begins to be absorbed into the dog's body. The rate at which this occurs in a dog will depend on the weight of the dog. Smaller dogs will be poisoned with alcohol sooner than larger dogs. If the dog has an empty stomach, the rate of absorption is increased. The overall health of the dog can also determine how quickly it will become intoxicated by consuming the alcohol.
Contents of Alcohol
As mentioned above, ethanol is the main substance that allows an alcohol drinker to become intoxicated. Different alcoholic beverages contain various amounts of ethanol. Beer, for example, only contains approximately 5-7% ethanol. Wine may contain up to 9%. Whiskey, vodka, and other strong alcoholic drinks can contain anywhere from 30-90% ethanol. Therefore, which type of drink that is consumed by the dog can have an effect on if (as well as how quickly) the dog will begin to suffer from alcohol poisoning.
Lethal Doses of Ethanol for Pets
For larger dogs, ethanol is known to be lethal if the dog consumes about 5 ½ grams of the substance per kilogram of the weight of the dog. For example, a 10 pound dog would probably not survive if more than 25 grams of ethanol were consumed. To understand the amount, consider that a 12 ounce beer has about 14 grams of ethanol in it. A smaller amount of ethanol would be seen as lethal to most puppies, as they are typically smaller than most adult dogs.
Signs of Alcohol Poisoning in Dogs
The symptoms of alcohol poisoning can become apparent in dogs within 30 minutes of consuming the drink, especially if the dog had an empty stomach. For full stomachs, the symptoms may hold off for 1-2 hours. The initial signs of alcohol toxicity changes in mood, such as appearing confused or overly excited. The dog may begin staggering, have Dog Seizures, or experience Dog Increased Urination or at least the frequency of urination. If the poisoning continues, the pet often suffers from Dog Difficulty Breathing, decreased body temperature, or even a heart attack.
Diagnosis and Treatment
If any of these signs are apparent, the first step is to get the dog to a veterinarian's office immediately. The vet will consider the dog's history, and may run various tests to confirm alcohol poisoning. He will also check the state of the dog's internal organs. The treatment method will vary based on how far the toxicity has progressed. Recovery usually happens within 8-12 hours, given that the dog has been evaluated by a vet in time.

The Lions are chasing Springbok prop Beast Mtawarira's signature ahead of the 2011 season.
Private investors have provided the Lions with a substantial financial boost, and they now have the cash to attract big name players to Johannesburg.
They've already signed fringe Bok Bandise Maku and promising wing Lionel Mapoe, and are rumoured to be in talks with World Cup-winning Boks Butch James and Frans Steyn. Now Mtawarira is being mentioned as a possible recruit.
According to Beeld, Mtawarira has been made a financial offer that could prove difficult to refuse. The complication is that he's bound to a three-year contract with the Sharks, having signed a contract-extension in October.
The Durban-based union are responsible for Mtawarira's development, having recruited him from Zimbabwe and moved him from loose forward to prop. The Sharks are hoping that Mtawarira shows some loyalty and honours his contract.

Lawmakers 'committed' to postal reform in new Congress
Thursday - 1/3/2013, 6:06pm EST
While the last Congress failed to pass comprehensive legislation to shore up the U.S. Postal Service, top lawmakers from both parties say they are committed to working together to patch up the ailing agency in the new Congress.
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, issued a joint statement Thursday, citing an "unwavering" commitment to restoring USPS to solvency.
"Although the 112th Congress did not come to a consensus around a package of reforms that can update the Postal Service's network and business model to reflect the reality that it faces today, we remain committed to working with our colleagues in both the House and the Senate to reform the Postal Service so it can survive and thrive in the 21st century," the statement read.
Carper and Issa noted the different approaches taken by the House and Senate last year.
The Senate bill, approved by the full chamber last spring, would have refunded to USPS overpayments made to the federal pension fund, created a separate health-insurance program for postal employees and allowed the agency to offer buyouts to 100,000 retirement-eligible employees.
The House bill, which never left committee, would have deferred near-term payments on retiree health care benefits, allowed the agency to move to a five-day delivery week and created an independent board to recommend facility closures.
"While our approaches have differed in the past, we made significant progress in narrowing our differences in recent months," Carper and Issa's statement read.
In fact, Issa had hoped to move postal legislation during the lame-duck session of Congress, but amid the wrangling over the fiscal-cliff, that never materialized.
Donahoe: USPS will accelerate planned cost-savings
Postmaster Patrick Donahoe also renewed his call Thursday for congressional action, citing the "unsustainable financial path," the agency faces.
"We encourage the new 113th Congress to make postal reform an urgent priority, and to work steadily toward the quick passage of reform legislation," Donahoe said in a statement. "We will continue to work with leaders of our House and Senate oversight committees and all members of Congress to help make this happen."
In the meantime, Donahoe said the USPS has planned to "accelerate" some of the cost-cutting measures it has already implemented.
"We are currently losing $25 million per day, we have defaulted on $11.1 billion in Treasury payments and exhausted our borrowing authority," he said. "The Postal Service should not have to do business this way, which has undermined the confidence of our customer base and the $800 billion mailing industry we serve."
Those savings initiatives include consolidating mail-processing facilities and reducing hours at post offices nationwide.

About 7 months ago I made the switch from a 5 year permie role (as a support developer in C#) to a contract role. I did this because I was stagnating in my old role. The extra cash contracting is really helping too.
Unfortunately my team leader has taken a dislike to me from day 1. He regularly tells me I went out contracting too early, and frequently remarks that people in their 20's have no idea what they are talking about (I am 29).
I was recently given the task of configuring our reports via our in house reporting library. It works off of a database driven criteria base, with controls being loaded as needed. The configs can get fairly complex, with controls having various levels of dependency on each other. I had a short time frame to get 50 reports working, and I was told to just get the basic configuration done, after which they will be handed over to the reporting team for fine tuning, then the test team.
Our updated system was deployed 2 weeks ago, and it turned out that about 15 reports had issues causing incorrect data to be returned. Upon investigation I discovered that the reporting team hadn't even looked at them, and the test team hadn't bothered to test the reports. In spite of this, my team leader has told me that it is 100% my fault.
As a result, our help desk got hit hard. I worked back until 2am that night to fix the highest priority issues (on my wedding anniversary!). The next day I arrive at work at 7:45 am to continue with the fixes. I got no thanks, but keep getting repeatedly told by my manager that "I fucked up" and "this is all my fault".
I told my team leader I would spend part of my weekend working to fix the remaining issues. His response was "so you fucking should! you fucked it all up!" in front of the rest of the team. I responded "No worries." and left. I spent a decent chunk of my weekend working on it. Within 2 business days of finding out about the issues, I had all the medium and high priority issues fixed.
The only comments my team leader has made to me in the last 2 weeks is to tell me how I have caused a big mess, and to tell me it was all my fault. I get this multiple times a day. If I make any jokes to anyone else in the team, I get told not to be a smartass... even though the rest of the team jokes throughout the day. Apart from that, all I get is angry looks any time I am anywhere near the guy. I don't give any response other than "alright" or silence when he starts giving me a hard time.
Today we found out that the pilot release for the next stage has been pushed back. My team leader has said this was caused by me (but the higher ups said no such thing). He also said I have "no understanding of the ramifications of my actions".
My question is, should I break contract (I am contracted until June 30) and find another role? No one else in my team will speak up in my favour, as they are contractors too and have no interest in rocking the boat. I could complain to my team leaders boss, but I can't see that helping, as I will still be stuck in the same team. As this is my first contract, I imagine getting the next one will be hard without a reference.
I can't figure out if this guy is trying to get me fired up to provoke a confrontation (the guy loves conflict), or if he is just venting anger, or what. Copping this blame day after day is really wearing me down and making me depressed... especially since I have a wife and kid to support).

The New Bern Harley Owners Group, HOGS, was born to be wild — in this case, wildly benevolent for special children at the Kennedy Home in Kinston.
Riders from more than 35 counties in Eastern North Carolina got there vroom on Saturday morning as they made ready to take gift cards, money and toys to children.
The event, now in its 20th year, started out as a small group, not a group of 1,000 bikers. Founder Jimmy Allen, owner of New Bern Harley-Davidson, said the first few years only a handful of riders turned out. They traveled to a church in Newport to deliver toys for children.
"It is more popular these days," said Allen.
Popular it is. Last year, 1,027 bikers joined the ride. This year, with cooler weather, Allen was hoping for at least 800 riders.
Donnie Lamm Sr., dressed in riding gear, said it is a great cause.
"It's my fifth year. We enjoy doing it; it shows that bikers are not bad people," he said.
His son, Donnie Lamm Jr., is on his eighth year of riding. "My dad got me riding and in turn helping the kids have a happy Christmas," he said.
Vera Campbell has been riding the route from the dealership, west on U.S. 70 to Kinston for seven years.
"It's great to meet people and form friendships and help the community," she said, as she was bundled up in her leather jacket.
Paul Brown, a usual rider, suffers from a medical problem. This year he was at the dealership helping with the flow of traffic. "Look around, this is impressive, some people have been here since 7:30 a.m.," he said.
With Brown was Mark Weaver, helping to set up traffic cones and keep motorcycles flowing.
"There is a great deal of work to do for this event," he said.
Both men are in law enforcement.
New Bern police, the N.C. Highway Patrol, Craven County sheriff's deputies and law enforcement from the western route were providing escorts.
The toy run is one of the community events for the chapter. They help with breast cancer, cystic fibrosis and the local soup kitchen.

New analysis points to 'equilibrium' in DoD contract spending
Tuesday - 10/2/2012, 6:07pm EDT
Over the past 20 years, spending on defense contracts far outstripped growth in the overall defense budget.
But a new analysis from the Center for Strategic and International Studies points to a growing "equilibrium," or steadiness, between contract spending as a share of DoD dollars in the last few years.
Between 1990 and 2011, contract spending grew by 4 percent annually while the overall defense budget inched up just 0.02 percent per year, according to the report.
In other words, spending on noncontract outlays, mostly made up of personnel costs for DoD civilians and military service members, remains essentially unchanged from two decades ago (in inflation-adjusted dollars), said David Berteau, the senior vice president and director of the International Security Program at CSIS and one of the co-directors of the report, in a recent interview on In Depth with Francis Rose.
Contract spending, on the other hand, has doubled, he added.
"That's been a huge increase," Berteau said. "It says that most of the increase for defense (spending) for the last 10 years, more of it has gone to contracts than it has to personnel."
Budget cuts threaten 'steadiness'
The outsized contract spending only intensified during the middle part of the last decade during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The peak came in 2008, followed by a "profound shift," in which the trend reversed — contract spending fell slightly while other defense spending rose, according to the report.
Since then, there's been a "slight downturn," overall in defense spending, although not as dramatic as many defense observers thought it would be, Berteau said. That has contributed to what he called an "interesting steadiness" in contract spending.
"Projecting forward, though, I think that you'll see a more dramatic reduction in the amount of money going to contractors, both on the services side and for hardware for weapons systems and research and development," Berteau added.
Looming large in the future of the defense budget are the impending across-the-board cuts, known as sequestration, set to go into effect in January unless Congress comes up with an alternative plan.
Sequestration would slash Defense budget accounts by 9.4 percent, according to a report provided to Congress by the Office of Management and Budget.
Changing defense industry landscape
The CSIS report also compares a list of the 20 largest DoD contractors in 2011 with the largest contractors in 2001. The top-five ranking "remained nearly intact," the report stated.
But Berteau said examining the full roster reveals three emerging trends.
Some of the companies that made the 2001 list no longer exist as their own discrete identities, he explained, having been bought by other companies. That consolidation began in the 1990s post-Cold War drawdown but continued "even as the budgets were going up" in the 2000s, he said.
Another difference is the number of companies providing services — as opposed to products — that made the list. "Some of that's driven by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; some of it driven by the inability of the government to hire and retain the workforce it needs to have to do the work in-house," Berteau said.
Finally, the 2011 lists includes three large healthcare companies. A decade ago, there was only one. Berteau said this reflects the growth in spending for military health care, which is growing 2 and-a-half times faster than for civilian personnel.
Despite budget cuts, DoD contractors make solid profits
Study: DoD sequestration cuts would slam federal workforce, delay pain to contractors
Analysis: Sequestration would drive contractors over 'fiscal cliff'

'I did not let that baby go for one second': Mother tells story of mudslide
Dan Bates / The Herald
Speaking from her hospital bed Wednesday, Oso mudslide survivor Amanda Skorjanc, 25, talks about hanging on to her 23-week-old son, Duke, trying to stay alive, calling to God, and being rescued.
Dan Bates / The Herald
At Seattle�s Harborview Medical Center, Dr. Daphne Beingessner indicates that Amanda Skorjanc may be ready for release from the hospital soon, but the 25-year-old will be in a wheelchair for some time. Skorjanc�s partner, Ty Suddarth (right) is with her Wednesday as she prepares to speak with reporters.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Oso mudslide survivor Amanda Skorjanc speaks Wednesday from her hospital bed in Seattle.
Dan Bates / The Herald
From her hospital bed with her partner, Ty Suddarth, at her side Wednesday, Amanda Skorjanc talks about surviving the mudslide.
At first, it sounded like a truck off a rumble strip, she said.
Then the lights at her home started to shake and blink.
"It was like a movie," she said. "Houses were exploding. The next thing I see is my neighbor's chimney coming into the front door."
Skorjanc said when she saw the wave of mud and debris heading toward her, she grabbed her five-month-old son, Duke Suddarth, and held him to her tightly.
"That's when it hit us," she said. "I did not let that baby go for one second."
Skorjanc remembers crying out to God: "Please save us."
"It got dark around us and it was throwing us all over the place," she said. "It was very, very strong and very violent."
Skorjanc, 25, a survivor of the massive Oso landslide on March 22, is still hospitalized at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center with multiple fractures to her eye, arm, leg and ankle. She talked for the first time Wednesday about surviving the disaster, which has killed at least 36 people. Ten others are missing.
Skorjanc said that when the mud and debris finally stopped moving, she found herself about 700 feet from her home in a group of trees. She and her son were caught in the pieces of a broken couch. "We were in this little cushioned pocket," she said. "We had very little debris around us, a piece of ceiling and two-by-fours."
Her legs were trapped from the knees down. "Here I am trapped with my child and this debris and I can't move and I can't scream loud enough for help," she said. "We live in Oso. It would take a while for people to come."
Skorjanc said she never lost consciousness. "I felt and heard and saw everything going on," she said.
She tried to move her son to a spot where he would be more easily found, but it was impossible. "My arm was so broken, I couldn't move it."
Holding her son to her chest, she looked down at him and saw he was beginning to turn blue.
"I thought I was losing him," she said. "I would say, 'Stay with me Bud,' and ask God not to take him in front of me." It was an image, she said, that "will stay with me forever."
Suddenly she heard someone yelling, asking if anyone was there. Her son began to cry. "I stuck my hand out where we had this little space. I told them he was five months old," she said.
Amanda said it took about six people, using two chainsaws, to free her from the couch.
A helicopter team from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office initially transported her to Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington.
Her partner, Ty Suddarth, had hugged both her and their son goodbye that morning to run an errand in Darrington. He found out about the mudslide from his brother, who called to tell him "everything might be gone."
Suddarth said he went to the Oso firehouse to await news and first got word Amanda had survived and later that Duke had been rescued.
Duke was taken to Harborview for treatment of a fractured skull and initially was listed in critical condition in intensive care. He made such steady progress that on April 1 he was transferred to Seattle Children's Hospital. His parents declined to be more specific about his condition and said they don't know when he might be able to come home.
Skorjanc was transferred to Harborview in Seattle the day of the disaster. Her injuries have required six surgeries.
Her physician, Dr. Daphne Beingessner, said Wednesday that Skorjanc will need to use a wheelchair for about 10 weeks, and it could take a year for her to more fully recover. She also could face long-term problems with stiffness or arthritis, particularly in her fractured ankle.
The couple said they want to meet those who helped in the rescue. "There's a lot of amazing people who stepped up," she said. "They did something we can't repay them for."
She said she still struggles with her emotions every day and feels blessed that she, Suddarth and their son all survived. "At the same time, I feel guilty that I have my family and some don't," she said.
A basket near her hospital bed is stuffed with cards from well-wishers, many from people she doesn't know. "I'm so overwhelmed with the love and support we get every day," she said. "It helps. It really does. There are no words to say how grateful I am."
