Begin by unwrapping FUN from the biodegradable cellophane just as you would an enormous piece of candy. Save the wrapper for when playtime's over. To use as soap or shampoo, pinch off a small bit in your hand (or on a bath pouf) and hop in the tub, lathering from head, shoulders, knees to toes. If you fancy a bubble bath, crumble a small chunk under a warm running tap for mountains of suds.

Q:i bought this for my nieces' daughter as part of her b-day gift...but now i have seen a video on youtube where a customer says it dyed her hands, and read a review where a customer says it dyed her bathroom tiles....HELP, if this true...i dont want to give a gift that might ruin someone's bathroom or dye their skin...
but, i still think its a great gift for a 6 year old...looking forward to hearing from you asapAsked on 9/2/2013 by Estela from Royal Palm Beach, FL
1 answer
A:The color that we use in all of our products is food-grade and it is very rare that we receive feedback about it staining skin or tiles. When we do hear of color transferring, it tends to happen on tubs that have residue from previous products left on the tile, in which case it can just be cleaned away after use. As long as the product is rinsed away after use, you shouldn't find that it stains!Answered on 10/28/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

I am a newbie and have never played in any tournament. 5 other buddies of mine are in the same situation and are going to play for sure, we just haven't registered yet. If anyone can give me a little info on what to expect in our first tournament that would be great.

Thought I'll post this here to. Make sure everyone knows whats going on.Well the work day didn't turn out as easy as we thought! We only got two tee pads poured cause the mixer broke and we had to hand mix everything! We're not 100% sure now if all the tee pads will be done by the tournament but the front nine will be!
Are we gonna have a doubles event friday late afternoonish? I can't do the glow doubles later in the evening because my eye sight sucks, but around 5 or 6 would be nice for the first dubs. Bring your own partner format, skins, pro / am whatev? Hopefully the weather will be like it was today there, beautiful, perfect temp. Great scoring weather. A little windy on the open holes but that's how I like it! Lovin' Buffalo Trace
Let's make this happen, let's say 10 bucks a team?

Detailed Description:
The mutations in presenilin 1 (PSEN1), presenilin 2 (PSEN2) and amyloid precursor protein (APP) that are associated with autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease have very high penetrance (near 100%). This study will target individuals who are either known to have a disease-causing mutation or who are at risk for such a mutation (the child or sibling of a proband with a known mutation) and unaware of their genetic status. Because the age of onset of cognitive changes is relatively consistent within each family, an age of onset is determined for each affected parent as part of the DIAN longitudinal study protocol. Subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the DIAN-TU-001 study when they are between 15 years younger (-15) to 10 years older (+10) than the age of onset of their affected parent.
The ability to identify individuals destined to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) within the next 10-15 years with a high degree of confidence provides a unique opportunity to assess the efficacy of therapies at asymptomatic and very early stages of dementia. Although there are differences between dominantly inherited AD and the more common age-associated sporadic disease, the results of the early intervention in this study will have implications for future studies and treatments in sporadic AD. Families with known disease-causing mutations are extremely rare and are geographically dispersed throughout the world. These constraints necessitate a specialized study design. Many of the subjects in this study will not yet have any cognitive symptoms of AD; they will be "asymptomatic" carriers of mutations that cause Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer's disease and would be expected to perform normally on standard cognitive and functional testing. Imaging and fluid biomarkers will be used as the primary study endpoints to demonstrate that the treatment compounds have engaged their therapeutic targets. A set of cognitive measures designed to assess the very earliest, most subtle cognitive changes will be collected, but will not be primary endpoints as many of these clinically asymptomatic individuals are likely to have minimal changes in cognitive measures during the study. Additionally, because many at-risk individuals decide not to know whether they have the disease-associated mutation or not, some of the at-risk individuals enrolled in this study will not have the disease causing mutations; they will be "mutation negative". It is important to enroll non-carrier subjects to avoid coercion (e.g., potential subjects may be pressured into genetic testing to learn their genetic status in order to be eligible for the trial). These mutation negative individuals will be assigned to the placebo group; subjects and site study staff will remain blinded as to these individuals' active or placebo group assignment and mutation status. Thus, the study will be double blinded for placebo and for mutation status, except for mutation positive subjects who are aware of their genetic status. Two different therapies will be tested in order to increase the likelihood that an effective treatment will be discovered. They were selected for this trial based on mechanism of action and available data on efficacy and safety profile.
This study design is possible because the biomarker endpoints are relatively robust. The study design includes a pooled placebo arm shared by all treatment groups. Mutation positive subjects will be randomized to one of the three study arms (placebo, gantenerumab, solanezumab). Mutation negative subjects will all receive placebo, but will be randomized to receive matching placebo for gantenerumab or solanezumab. Importantly, subjects and study staff will not be blinded as to which treatment group each subject has been assigned; they will be blinded as to whether subjects have been randomized to active drug or placebo arms. Biomarker endpoints will be specified for each treatment arm. Biomarker endpoints will be assessed at least annually. Biomarker data will be analyzed for pre-specified endpoints consistent with the drug's mechanism of action and known effects on the tested biomarkers. At the end of the study period, the Sponsor will consider developing an extension study that would allow subjects enrolled in this study to rollover to a longer therapeutic trial with cognitive endpoints.

Hand-cut Angus steaks and burgers will be something to sink your teeth into.
A new restaurant, Sagebrush Steakhouse, will be opening next week on U.S. 70 East. The planned opening date is Wednesday.
The company has hired about 50 people and is still looking for up to 25 more employees. Training has already begun. The general manager, Chuck Forro, resides in Kinston.
"We're really excited to be in Kinston," said Christine Wittman, the director of brand enhancement for JP Steakhouse in Mooresville.
If interested, apply at mycrgjob.com or by phone at 877-692-7456, Ext. 100.
The company opened its first Sagebrush in Hickory in 1990 and Kinston will be the 24th restaurant in four surrounding states, she said.
"We are a casual family steakhouse," Wittman said. "We are definitely family-friendly."
Children ages 10 and under eat free from the kids' menu on Wednesdays. The kids' menu has nine items, including ribs, sirloin tips, pasta and veggie plate, and two desserts.
The restaurant is known for its award-winning ribs. It also has seafood, chicken, soups, salads, steak toppers, appetizers and a full-service bar.
"We pride ourselves at having great food at affordable prices," Wittman said.
There are daily lunch, dinner and drink specials, as well as a lunch menu from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with prices ranging from $5 to $8.
The former Jeffrey's was rearranged and decorated with rodeo photography recently. It maintains the former kitchen equipment and its two dining rooms seat 150 people.
Customers can eat in, take out or have their event catered off-site.
"It's going to be a great location," Wittman said. "We've got a little something for everybody."
Sagebrush Steakhouse, 603 E. New Bern Road, will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For information or to order take-out, call 252-208-7702.
Jim Walker's Nationwide Insurance Group opened its doors on Sept. 5, 1988, and celebrated a grand opening that October across from Farmer's Furniture.
The business moved to 1200 W. Vernon Ave. in May 2000. There are now seven offices in Kinston, La Grange, New Bern, Smithfield, Apex and two in Goldsboro. Each is independent corporations.
Walker, a native of Beautancus in Duplin County, started working at Evans Ford, but he found he couldn't make money unless he was onsite selling them. His golfing buddies, who were insurance agents, would talk about their successes.
He also noticed it was the insurance adjusters who got people back into their homes after a disaster.
"The bottom line is helping people," he said. "… In 100 years, we'll all be gone, but helping people is what really counts."
Walker said he "was interviewed by every major insurance company in the country."
One even sent him a letter saying, "it would be better if I chose a different career path."
They couldn't have been more wrong. But starting out wasn't easy. His wife, Cheryl Davis Walker, from Pink Hill, and now chief financial officer, encouraged him.
"She's been with me since Day 1," he said. "… The phone wouldn't ring, and she said, 'Honey, you need to go back out and see if you can sell something.' "
Walker, now CEO, said he got through the recession of 2008 by stabilizing the office for a time. But he sees the economy starting to pick up, especially in Apex, Smithfield and New Bern.
"We have about 30 percent penetration in Lenoir County," he said. He hopes to reach 50 percent.
His partner, Jeff Howard, joined Walker 14 years ago and works at a satellite office in La Grange.
The full-service offices sell homeowners, auto, commercial and life insurance, as well as others.
"We're No. 1 in auto and homeowners in North Carolina," Walker said.
Jim Walker of Nationwide Insurance Group is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. For information, call 252-527-6000.

This report traces how the American public and the U.S. government have responded to the diversification of migrant streams and the increasing proportion of illegal immigration in recent decades. It outlines the anxieties triggered by this immigration, the policy response at the national and state levels, and the implications of the second generation over the long run.
This report examines Canada's striking openness and optimism towards immigration and multiculturalism. Juxtaposing the widespread support of immigration among Canadian citizens with growing anti-immigrant sentiment and opposition to multicultural policies across Europe and the United States, the author seeks to uncover the reasons behind this Canadian "exceptionalism."
This report explores how French national identity and sense of belonging are both defined and expressed. The discussion revolves around the issues of "hyphenated identities" and whether the split allegiances of dual citizens weaken social cohesion in France.
This report focuses on the effects of migration on political extremism in North America, Western Europe, and Central and Eastern Europe. The author explores nativist reactions, analyzes the role of migration in the identity and discourse of nativist actors, examines public effects of their impact on migration policies, and summarizes ways in which states respond to anti-immigrant extremism.
This report analyzes developments in UK integration policy over the past 15 years—a period in which immigration levels increased substantially, with the composition of migration flows becoming increasingly temporary and diverse in nature. The analysis focuses on whether or not policy has influenced national identity, integration outcomes, and neighborhood cohesion.
African immigrants generally fare well on integration indicators, with college completion rates that greatly exceed those for most other immigrant groups and U.S. natives, this report finds. The United States, Canada, and Australia disproportionally attract better-educated African migrants then do the United Kingdom, France, and other European countries.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
This event marks MPI Europe's official launch in Brussels. To inaugurate the new office, MPI Europe will host a panel discussion to explore what is driving societal discontent in Europe, the role immigration plays in this, and why there is a growing perception that immigrant integration efforts are failing.

TomTom launches "TomTom Rider" - a new navigation device for bikers

TomTom launches "TomTom Rider" - a new navigation device for bikers
Customized GPS device gives bikers the freedom to choose the way they want to ride
Concord, February 14, 2013– TomTom today introduces TomTom Rider, a new portable navigation device created especially for bikers. Based on feedback from the motorcycle community, TomTom Rider has been designed to give bikers the ability to choose the type of route they want to ride - from the fastest to the most scenic to their own personalized route.
Bikers can easily create and then upload their personalized routes direct to their TomTom Rider device. By downloading Tyre® interactive software, bikers can search, create and edit their own routes on a PC. Alternatively, a unique 'Upload Routes and Go' feature enables bikers to upload routes directly to their device and share them with other bikers via Bluetooth®.
"With TomTom Rider, bikers can not only choose where to go, but more importantly how they want to get there,"said Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director of TomTom Consumer."We listened to feedback from motorcycle communities to create a device that was customized for the way they want to ride. We found that the overwhelming majority of bikers use their motorcycle for recreational purposes and many actively seek out routes that offer fantastic scenic touring experiences. TomTom Rider gives bikers the ability to find and ride the best scenic routes in the world."
Additionally, TomTom Rider includes a feature that feeds audio instructions directly to the user's helmet via Bluetooth®, meaning riders can fully concentrate on the road ahead. The device also includes the introduction of a new 4.3'' glove-friendly screen, which responds instantly to touch and is designed for riding in any weather conditions, including rain or bright sunlight. The device also comes with a new charging bike dock that turns it on or off with the ignition of the bike.

Titleist CB 710 Irons
Product Overview

CB irons feature an optimized cavity muscle that provides more mass behind the impact area to achieve the quintessential soft, solid feel. This weighting also produces consistent launch angle, backspin and ball speed in order to provide precise distance and shot control demanded by better players.

Five white banners ring the ceiling at Rexall Place, representing the five Stanley Cups the Edmonton Oilers have won in their history. Wayne Gretzky is largely responsible for four of those white banners, earning him a bronze statue out in front of the arena, a street named in his honor and his retired #99 jersey hanging in the rafters.
Two years after their sold-out Edmonton debut, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers returned to Oil Country and received a hero's welcome that would make Gretzky blush. Riding into town hot off a sizzling show in Calgary the night before, the Heartbreakers left nothing to chance, pouring on a pile of classic hits one after another. Tom took a nice extended guitar solo on "Mary Jane's Last Dance" before intertwining leads with Mike Campbell on "Drivin' Down to Georgia." "First Flash of Freedom" is opening up more and more every night, evolving into the spacey psychedelic masterpiece the band envisioned at its genesis. This band is hitting on all cylinders now - you've been warned!
Check back tomorrow for a report from Saskatoon with more photos and videos of the band and fans!

Why Do Dentists Drill Teeth?
For the past 130 years modern society has blamed germs and what germs eat as the exclusive cause of tooth decay. The remedies prescribed have been fluoride, tooth brushing and tooth flossing. When these fail, you must submit to drilling and filling. Yet these prescribed methods do not seem to work for a significant portion of the population.
Tooth decay is caused by nutrient deficiencies and not bacteria. This has been proven in both animal and laboratory experiments. I share with you some of the proof both on this website, and in the book Cure Tooth Decay. If tooth decay was considered a nutrition problem then both patients and dentists would very quickly start asking the question I have been asking, "Why do dentists drill people's teeth?"
There are compelling reasons for the industry of dentistry to be blind to a nutritional or preventative paradigm because it would require changing how they do business. Before I explain a little bit about why I am sharing this information and others are not, please take a look at what I have to offer you.
"Ramiel - Show Me the Evidence!" Here it is:
- Pictures of Cavities Healing!
- Slices of teeth showing Remineralization
- X-ray of Cavity Remineralizing
Cure Tooth Decay Visitor Resources
Learn more about the book Cure Tooth DecayTM. The book is designed to be an empowering practical teaching to give you all the answers you need to master healing cavities. With the book Cure Tooth DecayTM you will join the thousands of people who have learned how to:
- remineralize teeth
- eliminate tooth pain or sensitivity
- avoid root canals
- stop cavities - sometimes instantaneously
- regrow secondary dentin
- form new tooth enamel
- avoid or minimize gum loss
- heal and repair tooth infections
- only use dental treatments when medically necessary
- save your mouth (and your pocketbook) from thousands of dollars of unnecessary dental procedures
- and increase your overall health and vitality
The information in the book that has saved people's teeth is not presented as clearly and as powerfully anywhere else online or in print. This website is complimentary to the book and not a replacement for it.

Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini released details Wednesday morning concerning what they say was extreme abuse of four children who are telling authorities about being tied up with ropes and chains, beaten and sexually abused at a house in Wheelersburg.
Donini stated that his office received a call on Jan. 30, 2014, from a teacher with the virtual online learning school stating that she received an e-mail from a student wanting her to call 911 that she and her brothers and sisters were being tied to the beds and beaten.
Donini said a deputy, along with Scioto County Children Services, responded to the house located on Collingswood Avenue in Wheelersburg.
Children Services later contacted the office and stated that they were able to get a court order that resulted in four children being removed from that residence. Children Services responded to the office with these children for an interview.
Donini said, during these interviews, the children stated that they had been tied with ropes and chains to their beds for weeks at a time sometimes longer only untied to do school work on the computer. Donini said the children stated that they would only get food sometimes and were very hungry. The children were able to describe having to get naked and get hit with belts and paddles. During the interview, the children — ages 11 and 9 —reportedly told authorities that they had been sexually assaulted several times. The children had marks and scars on their bodies that matched the reported abuse. These children were transported to Mayerson Center a part of children's hospital in Cincinnati for treatment and they are currently being treated at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus Ohio as an outpatient.
"There was evidence of what the kids said had happened to them," Scioto County Sheriff's Captain David Hall told the Daily Times. "The poor little bodies of the children have evidence of what they are claiming. And there was evidence to support what they were saying about being tied up at the house."
He called Children Services phenomenal.
"They stepped above and beyond to make this happen. Brittany at Children Services was incredible. She really stepped up for the need of the children on this and helped to get an emergency order through Juvenile Court to remove the children," Hall said.
Hall said the children are safe and in the care of a Foster family.
"We have had interaction with the children since then," Hall said. "Beautiful, young children."
As a result of the interviews and other information obtained during the investigation a search warrant was served at the residence on Collingswood Avenue in Wheelersburg. Detectives and deputies removed several items from the residence. Detectives detained three adults for questioning which resulted in charges being filed.
Arrested was Juan Carlos Sanchez, 44, formerly from the Virgin Islands who had been staying on Collingwood Avenue. Sanchez has been charged with three counts of child endangerment, a felony of the second degree and two counts of rape, a felony of the first degree. Sanchez is being held on a $1 million bond. Also arrested was Edwina Louis, 52, also of Collingswood Avenue, the grandmother of the children. Louis has been charged with three counts of child endangerment, a felony of the second degree. She is being held on a $150,000 bond. The mother of the children, Bobbi Sue Pack, 31, also of Collingswood Avenue was also arrested. Pack has been charged with three counts of child endangerment, a felony of the second degree; and is being held on a $150,000 bond.
Detectives are also looking for a female to question involving this case who fled the residence after Children Services showed up. Detectives were given information that this female could be in the Pike County area. She is identified as Leah Dillon, age 24. Detectives are requesting anybody with information on her whereabouts to please call in.
"This was very emotional for the staff," Hall said. "In a short time we really bonded with the kids and we spent some time with them to get them to trust us and bond with us. And it does become emotional for the deputies."
Sheriff Donini states that this is an ongoing investigation which could result in other suspects being charged and more charges being presented to the Scioto County grand jury on a later date. Donini said anyone with any information concerning those crimes is being requested to contact Detective Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091.

Moonshine makers set up shop in Ga. city hall
Saturday - 11/17/2012, 10:15pm EST
By JEFF MARTIN
Associated Press
DAWSONVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Moonshine distillers are making their first batches of legal liquor in this tiny Georgia town's city hall, not far from the mountains and the maroon, orange and gold canopy of trees that once hid bootleggers from the law.
A handful of moonshine distilleries are scattered around the South, but observers say this is the first they've ever seen right in a city hall. The distilleries come amid an increased interest in the U.S. for locally made specialty spirits and beer brewed in homes and micro-breweries.
The Dawsonville moonshine makers and city officials say the operation helps preserve a way of life. It also carries on traditions of an era when moonshine meant extra income for farmers, medicine for their children and helped fuel the beginnings of NASCAR racing.
"Dawson County was, sure enough, the moonshine capital of the world at one time," distiller Dwight Bearden said, as he checked on the still where the third batch of Dawsonville Moonshine was being prepared. "It was just a way of life back then."
The clanking of the still and the smell of corn and alcohol fill the room several yards and a few interior walls away from the offices of the city clerk, the mayor and other officials running the town about 60 miles north of Atlanta. The city leases the space to the distillery.
Outside city hall are old, abandoned cars from the days when Ford Coupes and other models from the 1930s and `40s hauled moonshine down Georgia Highway 9. The windy mountain highway became known as Thunder Road, because it was filled with the screaming sounds of car engines as bootleggers hauled their moonshine to Atlanta.
The young drivers were sometimes pursued by "revenue men" from the federal government, and the chases sometimes led to overturned cars and deadly wrecks. Townspeople are proud of how young Dawsonville men raced their cars at places like Lakewood Speedway in Atlanta after moonshine deliveries, which helped stock-car racing gain a following in its early days.
Today, cars on Georgia 9 slow for school zones on their way through Silver City and Coal Mountain _ two of the smallest communities from Dawsonville to Atlanta _ and the suburbs of Cumming, Alpharetta and Roswell farther south.
Inside the distillery are plenty of reminders of the days when moonshine was made in the surrounding foothills.
Entrepreneur Cheryl "Happy" Wood points with pride to a portrait of her grandfather, Simmie Free, hanging on one wall.
"Mama said, `When you get this going, I want you to hang this up," Wood said.
Free learned how to make moonshine from his father, who learned it from his father generations ago, she said.
"We grew up around it, and it was our medicine," Wood said. Cough medicine was among its medicinal uses, she said.
Bearden, 56, recalls how extra income from his family's moonshining helped feed him as a child, and often meant a better Christmas if sales were good.
There are a handful of other moonshine distilleries in Southern states such as North Carolina, but officials from state and national groups say they aren't aware of any operating in a city hall.
"That's a new one for me," said Gregory Minchak, a spokesman for the National League of Cities.
J. Katie McConnell, senior associate for economic development at the League of Cities, has been studying the craft beer industry in recent months, and how small breweries and distilleries have sprung up and expanded in many communities. In Washington, D.C., for instance, the city's first gin distillery in more than a century opened this year, she said.
Wood has been planning the distillery for about five years. As she searched for a site, she and city officials began to realize that city hall would be an ideal spot, Dawsonville Mayor W. James Grogan said. The idea was that the distillery would tie into the city's history since it would be right next-door to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame Museum, Grogan said.
The distillery has reached several key milestones this year.
Last week, the distillery was delivering the second batch of moonshine it's made to its distributor, which has orders from liquor stores and other businesses around the state. Georgia law prohibits the distillery from selling its liquor at the site, but allows a distributor to ship it to stores with a liquor license, where it can be sold legally.
Wood recently got approval from state officials to offer small samples for tourists to taste.

Earlier this year, ABC introduced a thriller series called The River. It wasn't a ratings success and will surely be cancelled later this month. Now, the network is trying an action show called Missing. Will this one fare any differently?
Missing follows Becca Winstone (Ashley Judd), a former CIA operative who's made a new life for her herself as a single mother and a florist. She agrees to let her son Michael (Nick Eversman) study abroad but, a few weeks into his trip, he disappears and she suspects foul play. Becca arrives in Rome and begins piecing together the clues and it isn't long before the kidnappers realize they've picked a fight with the wrong woman. The cast also includes Cliff Curtis, Tereza Voriskova, Adriano Giannini, and Sean Bean.
The series debuted on March 15th and attracted a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.6 million total viewers. That wasn't a bad performance considering that Missing was airing opposite American Idol and the hyped return on NBC's Community. CBS was airing a low-rated NCAA Basketball game instead of their usual sitcoms.
In week two, Missing dropped a whopping 24% in the demo and dropped to fourth place in the timeslot (beaten by Idol, Community, and more basketball) with a 1.6 rating and 8.81 million. In week three, the demo dropped another 6% and the show remained in fourth place.
Over the course of this season, Missing's ratings have slowly dwindled further downward. In fact, the show's demo numbers have never risen.
Loading ...
Last night's installment of Missing dropped another 14%, to a new series low, with a 1.2 in the demo and 6.32 million total viewers. It's demo rating was tied for fourth place in the timeslot — with The CW's Vampire Diaries.
When a series on a major network ties (or is beaten) by something airing on The CW, you know there's a major problem.
Missing is currently ranked 21st out of 22 scripted ABC shows this season. It currently has a "D" grade on our ABC Ratings Report Card and is only outperforming Charlie's Angels average — that was the remake that occupied the same timeslot and was cancelled last November.
Though ABC hasn't said as much, there's no chance that Missing will be renewed for a second season. The ratings are just too low — and they keep going lower.
On the positive side, there are only two episodes left in the season so it seems very likely that the network will let them both air before cancelling the show.
But, what do you think? Are you enjoying Missing? Is it worth renewing or should it have been cancelled awhile ago?

Sweeping changes on the horizon at Paine Field

The Boeing Co.
Boeing rolled out the first 747 jumbo jet on Sept. 30, 1968, in Everett. The first of the �Incredibles,� the thousands of men and women who built the plane, arrived at the factory Jan. 3, 1967.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Airport director Dave Waggoner, who has run Paine Field for more than 20 years, plans to retire in September. The county has 59 applicants for the position.
Since then, the airport and surrounding land have become a hub of manufacturing and a major economic engine for the region. Most of the trees and open fields are gone, replaced by high-tech production, repair and research facilities.
Boeing has been the center of the core, but potential changes on the horizon could bring new economic diversity to Paine Field.
Public and higher education officials are trying to develop a research lab to lead the way into manufacturing's future — composite materials — on vacant land on the west side of the county airport. Private investors want to build a small terminal at Paine Field for commercial passenger flights. That's a prospect even some die-hard opponents now say they'd be hard-pressed to stop.
Meanwhile, Boeing is expanding its Everett facility for production of the new 777X airliner, which all but guarantees the company's presence here for decades to come.
With some of the biggest changes in Paine Field's history now afoot, the county is looking for a successor to longtime airport director Dave Waggoner, who plans to retire in September. County officials say whoever follows him needs to know general aviation, the aerospace industry, economic development, real estate and public relations. A tall order by any measure.
Warplanes to jumbo jets
Paine Field arose out of the Great Depression, a product of the Works Progress Administration. Federal officials' plans for a "super airport" were derailed by World War II. Military aviation took over the site.
See a photo gallery of the history of Paine Field.
After the war, the county took over airport operations. The plan was to make money from regularly scheduled commercial air service, general aviation and business tenants. Alaska Airlines built a maintenance hangar, which is now used by the Flying Heritage Collection.
As the Cold War heated up, the military returned, displacing many civilian tenants. In 1951, the U.S. Air Force turned Paine Field into an alert-status base with first-generation jet fighters always ready to intercept enemy aircraft.
"They would pull out of the ready hangar at full throttle. Those guys would be doing 50 or 60 knots on the taxiway," said Waggoner, himself a former U.S. Navy aviator.
Non-military uses were still permitted, but warplanes dominated the airfield until the mid-1960s, when the Air Force began winding down its presence.
As the military departed, a new, jumbo-size civilian tenant arrived: the Boeing Co. and its 747. Factory construction started on Jan. 3, 1967, and the plant opened later that year. The first 747 rolled out in late 1968.
In the '70s and '80s, Boeing expanded its Everett operation to accommodate new airplane production lines. Tramco, now Aviation Technical Services Inc. (ATS), arrived and became one of the country's leading aviation maintenance and repair operations. The airport also hosted small businesses and some Boeing suppliers.
Aerospace-related development picked up in the 1990s, starting with Boeing's expansion for the twin-aisle 777. These days, Paine Field is critical to the state's economy, said Alex Pietsch, the governor's top adviser on aerospace.
"Its main importance is that it's the launching pad for virtually all the Boeing widebody programs. It's essential to the success of the aerospace industry in Washington, given the role Boeing plays," he said.
Paine Field helps put about $40 billion into the economy each year, according to county estimates.
Much of that comes from Boeing's Everett plant, where it assembles all 747s, 767s and 777s, as well as most 787 Dreamliners. New airplanes are delivered to customers at the Everett Delivery Center near the airport's north end.
Boeing employs about 42,000 people in Everett. That accounts for nearly one-fifth of the county's private-sector jobs.
Aerospace manufacturing directly employs more than 50,000 in Snohomish County, according to a 2013 study commissioned by the Washington Aerospace Partnership.
Even more jobs are indirectly tied to the aerospace sector.
"With such a large portion of our workforce tied up in one industry, we feel the boom and bust in a very tangible way," said Anneliese Vance-Sherman, a regional labor economist with the state's Employment Security Department.
Boeing, ATS and Honeywell use Paine Field for test flights, but most aerospace-related companies like being in the area because it means being close to suppliers and customers.
Major Boeing suppliers on airport property include Korry, BE Aerospace, UTC Aerospace Systems and Honeywell. More have set up shop nearby, and elsewhere in the county.
The UTC Aerospace Systems facility in Everett "is designed to meet Boeing's need for just-in-time delivery," said Dave Castagnola, president of the company's landing systems operation. "We provide fully dressed gear — ready for attachment to Boeing aircraft — that can be installed within hours of delivery."
Airport staff and economic development boosters are quick to help companies considering expanding or relocating in the area.
That was Korry's experience in 2008, when company executives decided to move operations from Seattle. Korry, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bellevue-based Esterline Corp., makes cockpit control systems, employing approximately 650 workers at Paine Field.
"Once we picked up the phone, things moved very quickly," said David Rhoden, the company's vice president of operations.
Former military housing was torn down to clear room for a 216,000-square-foot plant. Korry's developer owns the building. The county still owns the land.
"We found them space," Waggoner said, summing up the partnership.
"Boeing loves that we're right here, and we spend plenty of time on the flightline," Rhoden said.
Aerospace is a global industry with suppliers and customers spread across time zones, but proximity still matters.
"It's a lot easier for me to walk across the street and talk with Qualitel," which supplies Korry with circuit boards, Rhoden said.
Only California rivals the skill and experience of the region's aerospace workforce.
Of course, "the Northwest is not the cheapest labor spot," he said.
The average salary at aerospace manufacturing companies in Snohomish County is nearly $95,000 — about 80 percent more than the countywide average of $53,000.
Increasing automation likely means fewer people will be needed to assemble airplanes and make components.
But Boeing and other companies will continue hiring because many current workers are approaching retirement, said Vance-Sherman, the labor economist.
'Boeing, going, gone'
Many people here were unnerved last year by Boeing's highly publicized nationwide search for a 777X assembly site. It fueled anxiety that the Chicago-based company wants to flee Washington, a fear captured by the phrase "Boeing, going, gone."
Worried about losing the 777X, state lawmakers extended huge tax breaks for the airplane maker and many urged members of the Machinists union to approve a concession-laden contract.
Now, local business and political leaders want the advanced manufacturing sector here to reduce its dependence on Boeing. Becoming a center known not just for airplanes but for skill in making things from composite materials, such as carbon fiber, is the best option, many say.
A collection of Washington-based industry groups and West Coast universities have teamed up to compete for $70 million in federal tax dollars. The money would set up a composite-material manufacturing research lab in Snohomish County with satellite locations in Port Angeles and Los Angeles.
The lab would focus on using composite materials for the clean-energy sector — storage tanks strong enough to contain compressed fuels, lightweight car frames that improve gas mileage. It would be part of a federal initiative to create regional hubs for experimenting with new ways of manufacturing.
County officials already have offered to share the costs of building the research center on a portion of 80 undeveloped acres at Paine Field zoned for industry. The area is just south of the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour.
Airport staff did much of the site development legwork for the land as a potential location for 777X wing fabrication.
The state's application is one of a handful still in the running, said Mary Kaye Brederson, who helped assemble the proposal.
Brederson is also executive director of the Paine Field-based Center of Excellence for Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing.
Having the composites center in Snohomish County would help ensure a steady stream of skilled workers, she said.
"Imagine if there was a research lab with state-of-the-art equipment and our students could work side-by-side with industry and university researchers," Brederson said. "It's that hands-on experience and that transfer of information that is so valuable."
Undeveloped industrial land, such as Paine Field's west side, is a commodity in short supply, said Brent Jackson with Jones Lang Lasalle, a Seattle-based commercial real estate company.
The available land in the area will soon be built out, he said. "It's not much. It's probably two or three years of supply for typical demand in that market."
Part of Paine Field's 80 acres almost became a grocery store early last decade when many county leaders, including Waggoner, wanted to see a Safeway developed there.
The store never materialized. The county's view — as well as Waggoner's — also changed. Development at Paine Field should be aerospace-related and make sense in the long term, Waggoner said.
"We don't put a high priority on developing quickly. I would rather wait for something that's going to be here for 50 years," he said.
Passenger flights
The arrival of commercial passenger flights at Paine Field appears more likely than ever after years of study and push-back from neighbors worried about added noise.
Commercial flights could help draw new companies and retain those already here, said John Monroe, the chief operating officer of Economic Alliance Snohomish County and a former Boeing executive.
Companies want to be connected to major transportation networks, he said.
"What does that mean? Rail, port, airfield, highways. You've got the full-meal deal here."
New York-based Propeller Investments met last month with county officials to talk about leasing space for a passenger terminal and operating four or five regional flights daily out of Paine Field.
The talks are just that — talks, both sides say.
But even ardent opponents concede that passenger flights at Paine Field seem inevitable.
"If the FAA wants it and an airline wants it, I think we'd be hard-pressed to stop it," said County Councilman Brian Sullivan, who is dead-set against commercial passenger flights.
Growth means traffic
Any growth at the airport or at Boeing will increase demands on parking and transit.
Elected leaders say it's imperative to get express bus service and light rail to serve the area.
Boeing hasn't maxed out its permitted 21,000 parking spaces. It encourages employees to use van pools, car pools and public transit. The site is served by three bus routes, a company spokesman said.
Community Transit is considering adding an express route from the airport to Bothell's Canyon Park area, said Martin Munguia, a spokesman for the agency.
As a long-term solution, Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson and other leaders want Sound Transit's light rail network to reach the airport, rather than take a more direct route to Everett along the I-5 corridor. Even if that materializes, it might not arrive until 2030 and only after voters approve taxes to pay for it.
"Long term, we desperately need light rail, and we need it to that job center and we need that sooner rather than later," Stephanson said.
The next leader
The man now at the intersection of these myriad issues is Waggoner, who has run Paine Field for nearly a quarter century and plans to retire next month. He arrived with the 777 and is leaving with its successor, the 777X.
The county has 59 applicants for the job. The list of desired qualifications for the next director at Paine Field emphasizes deep technical knowledge, flexibility and the ability to balance competing interests.
Most of all, "we want a candidate who understands the huge role that airport plays in economic development," said Lenda Crawford, an executive director with the county executive's office.
