Q. Do you or do you not support offshore drilling along North Carolina's coast? Why or why not?
A. I support offshore drilling. We must take advantage of all resources to become energy independent and not be held hostage by our enemies over oil. Safe offshore drilling will help create good jobs and grow our economy.
Q. What is your opinion on incentives for the purpose of promoting economic development?
A. We should level the playing field for all businesses in the state. Cash grants and free land should never be given to any corporation. If we cut taxes and regulations in order to become more attractive to business, we will not have to rely on "luring" people to come here.
Q. What would you do to help create new jobs in
A. The answer is simple: get government out of the way and pass common sense solutions. These solutions include cutting taxes for working families and small businesses; reducing burdensome regulations; upgrading our roads and infrastructure; and reequipping our work force with training needed for 21st century jobs.
Q. If the
A. The Garden Parkway toll road is far down the list of options for
A. Our tax structure is very outdated and our tax burden is too high. I favor a complete overhaul of North Carolina's tax code that will restructure the corporate tax rate along with the personal and family tax rate. Tax cuts will make the most difference in our state economy because our citizens deserve to keep more of the money they earn.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – On the second and final day of competition at the Jesse Owens Track Classic, the Miami University men's track and field team posted seven top-10 finishes, including five in field events, Saturday at Ohio State University's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
After taking first in four straight high jump events at one point this year, freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.) earned his second consecutive runner-up finish, tying his personal-best clearance with a leap of 2.10m/6-10.75. His height equaled Lake Erie's Edward Dudley, who won the event, but Stefanski required an extra attempt on an earlier height. Stefanski was competing in a field of 23 (eight failed to record a height) while he has not finished worse than second in any collegiate high jump competition so far. Junior Matt Gambill (Dover, N.H.) placed 10th, clearing 1.90m/6-2.75.
In the long jump, senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.) placed fifth with a leap of 7.24m/23-9, despite jumping into the wind, while junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio) was right behind in sixth with a jump of 7.21m/23-8. Senior Sam Wildeman (Naperville, Ill.) tied for ninth in the pole vault, clearing 4.67m/15-3.75, while over half the field (13 vaulters) did not even record a height.
On the track, senior Jack Spilman (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) captured sixth in the 800m run in 1:53.92, running against a field of 45, which also included junior Kevin Brown (Lewis Center, Ohio), who was 13th in 1:54.75. Junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) took 12th out of 44 in the 400m dash in 49.34.
Sophomore Sam Chester (Medina, Ohio) also claimed 12th in the 110m hurdles in a field of 33, clocking 14.93. In the 400m hurdles, fellow sophomore Skyler Coburn (La Porte, Ind.) placed 16th (out of 31) with a time of 54.72. Freshman Jason Bailey (Springboro, Ohio) was 20th out of 34 in the 100m dash in a wind-aided personal-best 11.06.
Miami's 4x100m relay team, which included Bailey, Hargrove, Spallinger and sophomore JaShawn Combs (Dayton, Ohio), crossed in sixth in 42.24, running in a field of 11.
The RedHawks competed against a large field at the meet that included Big Ten foes Michigan State, Illinois and the host Buckeyes, as well as Mid-American Conference foes Akron, Kent State and Central Michigan. Other schools that were in attendance included local rivals Cincinnati, Xavier and Wright State, along with Indiana State, Eastern Kentucky and Youngstown State, and Division II powers Ashland and Findlay.

Miami now returns home for its second and final home meet of the year, the RedHawk Invitational, on Saturday, April 27 at George Rider Track.

Anthony Davis. Welcome to the NBA.
-David West.
Another great night with perfect result - fought hard and came up a tad shy versus a 2nd round playoff team.
Should be in 2nd place in a few - cmon Cleveland!
"The only thing Ryno stretches is the 0's on the stat sheet." - BallSoHard
and that cluster of an offensive possession
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
whenever davis hits an outside shot, i hear about his sweet stroke...but more often than not, he misses badly..really badly
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
and the Hornets only scored 29 pts in the 2nd half... held Indiana to just 29 in the 1st half
something tells me it's not going to be too hard for Gordon to win the fans hearts back after all...
Can't understand why Monty left Davis on West. That was a huge mismatch that Indiana exploited pretty much the whole 2nd half.

Comments about Canari Evolution Bib:
I love the Canari Evolution bibs, the padding is great and has great compression material. Beware, the picture being advertised for the 2012 version (black and white material) is incorrect. What I received was last years model...all black. I was hoping to add some color to my bibs, but after attempting to contact Jenson several times via E-mail for a price adjustment, Im just going to absorb the loss. Jenson did a great job shipping, but not responding to any email after the sale is dissapointing.

SWANSBORO — Swansboro Post 78 coach Scott Mastranunzio didn't realize Dillon Herbert was in the midst of a no-hitter when he walked to the mound for the second time Sunday in the top of the seventh inning.
But it wouldn't have matter.
After seeing his right-hander throw six balls in his last seven pitches, Mastranunzio had seen enough.
He wanted the win first and foremost — and Herbert understood.
So he gave way to Jordan Behan, who got the final three outs to not only preserve the no-hitter but the victory as Post 78 came away with a nail-biting 2-1 win over Morehead City A to claim the Junior American Legion Area II district title for the second straight year.
"It wasn't the best feeling in the world (being lifted)…, but I understood his reasoning," said Herbert (5-0), who struck out eight and walked three while throwing 95 pitches (55 strikes). "The win's more important, the team's more important."
And so was winning the district title.
"It's just such a huge team effort," Herbert said. "For two years in a row, I think that says a lot about the players, our coaches, just the ability to stick with it. We go down by a run or two, that's no big deal. We'll get it back."
Both Swansboro (14-2) and Morehead City A (10-5) advance to the state championships that begin Friday at East Forsyth High School in Kernersville. Swansboro is scheduled to play at 12:30 p.m., although its first-round foe hasn't been announced.
"It was nerve-racking, but the boys just continue to fight," Mastranunzio said. "I told the boys at the beginning of the year we're defending champions and give me all you got and let's do it again. Of course, they did it. I had nothing to do with it. They did it all."
The title game was no slugfest. While Morehead City managed no hits, Swansboro had just two, and the three runs scored on a strikeout that got away, an error and a fielder's choice. The teams also combined for five errors.
Morehead City grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third when Duncan Englehart walked and got to third on a sacrifice and an error. Then with two outs Casey Boroughs struck out, but catcher Andrew Fellows couldn't handle the ball, and Englehart scampered home.
Swansboro tied it up in the fourth. Marcus Girau walked, went to second on a ground out and third on a wild pitch before scoring on an error.
It stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when Girau was hit by a pitch to lead off. He stole second and went to third on Fellows' single before scoring what proved the winning run on David Skekey's fielder's choice.
But Swansboro still had to sweat it out in the seventh.
Herbert walked Braedon Nelson on five pitches, prompting a visit from Mastranunzio. Then after Herbert went 2-0 on Kemp Wickizer — including a wild pitch that sent Nelson to second — Mastranunzio was back on the mound, this time to take the ball from his starter.
"I actually was not aware he had a no-hitter," Mastranunzio said. "It's one of those things you don't talk about in the dugout. When I came back in one of my assistant coaches said, 'You know he had a no-hitter?' I said, 'Huh? I didn't know that.'
"But I would not have changed my mind. I would still have made the same choice. He had thrown 96 pitches. He was starting to get a little bit of trouble."
Herbert and Behan swapped spots, with Herbert going to shortstop where after Behan's first pitch Fellows saw Nelson had strayed too far from second and fired to Herbert, who tagged him out.
"I looked up and he was already halfway gone so I was just praying I'd get him out. I threw it down and, I don't know, it was a good play overall," Fellows said, adding he knew it was a calculated risk but felt "it was worth it."
He got no arguments from his coach or Herbert.
"Big time," Herbert said. "There's some catchers who are hesitant to throw the ball, but he's one of those guys where if he zips one you're thinking more about is it going to beat the guy there than is it going to be a bad throw. When he let that one go, I had a good five steps on the guy (Nelson). I was like, I've got this."
The play became even bigger when Herbert misplayed a grounder to allow Wickizer to get to second, but Behan then struck out the next two batters looking to clinch the win and save the no-hitter.
Mastranunzio called it a "typical" outing by Herbert, saying that he pounded the strike zone with his fastball while also using his changeup more than his curve to keep Morehead City off balance.
Fellows agreed, saying Herbert was "hitting his spots."
"His velocity didn't change," Fellows added. "He didn't doubt himself. He kept going at it, kept pounding the strike zone. That's exactly what we needed."
Herbert said this was his first no-hitter, one that he wished he could have finished but not to the detriment to the team.
"When I went out that last time I was like, I've got three outs to do this. I think I can do it," Herbert said. "Coach Scott came out the first time and I was just like, 'OK, you're here to kind of slow the game down because it's a close call.'
"When he walked out there the second time it was like, 'Are you serious? Right now?' but apparently he didn't know about it (being a no-hitter). So it was a bit of heartbreaker. But I understood."

Mandarin Coriander
This is without a doubt the best scent I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I first discovered it at a male friend's house and was instantly in love with it. I had to buy it right away. At one point the scent had been discontinued and I was literally heartbroken, convinced I'd never find anything close to it. Then one day to my surprise and delight I was looking at the web site and saw it was back. You would have thought I won the lottery when I saw it, I ordered it immediately. Whether your male or female it's for you!

Yes No
One of my favorites!
This is one of my favorite scents in the line. I use this daily in my kitchen along with the dish soap and spray cleaner. Highest recommendation!
Lovely fragrance with clean feeling. I love that it's also moisturizing.
Kitchen Heaven
I'm a typical male who doesn't like washing dishes but ever since my wife purchased the Mandarin Coriander Dish Washing liquid I can't wait to clean up after a meal! Dish washing is now a pleasurable experience rather than a chore and the aroma lingers in the kitchen long after the dishes have been put away.
My whole family loves this fragrance! I bought the cleaner and hand wash, and a sample of the dishwashing detergent was included in my order. My daughter tried it once, & promptly confiscated the hand soap for her dorm room because she liked it so much. Her roommates wanted to know where she got it, as they want to get some too. Even my husband, who doesn't notice this type of thing, commented on the "really great" smell!

Piper J-3 'Cub'
Gift of the George J. Toper Estate
The "Cub" is one of the most popular, influential and enduring light aircraft ever produced. Its basic design sired a large family of light planes. Introduced in 1938, it was low-cost, easy and economical to fly, and could operate from short, unimproved airfields. With a price of $1,325, the Cub quickly became a top seller in the private plane market.
Originally designed for civilian sport and instruction, it also proved itself in wartime with the U.S. Army as the L-4 "Grasshopper" by serving as a liaison, spotter, ambulance and occasionally as a combatant.
This example was built in 1946 when over 6,000 were built which is a record for the most civilian aircraft of one type manufactured in a single year. In 1947, the post-war boom died out and production of the J-3 model ended. A total of 14,125 had been built, more than any private plane model ever.

Orange You Happy?
It's sweet, but not too sweet. Light, but somehow heady. And though it has yet to be classified as a controlled substance, neroli—a.k.a. orange blossom—is as addictive a scent as a girl can find. Or this girl, anyway. In fact, when Intelligent Nutrients recently launched a collection of USDA Certified Organic Aromatics at the New York home of founder Horst Rechelbacher (who also happens to have founded Aveda), Horst himself caught me mid-fix: I'd been handed a neroli-misted tissue, ...read more

GRANTSBORO — Back home after what Sen. Norman Sanderson, R-Pamlico, called "a historic session in Raleigh this year," he and Rep. Michael Speciale, R-Craven, spoke and took questions from voters here Friday.
Serving in new legislative posts during a year of sweeping change, both men appeared to have matured as politicians, with neither ruffling from criticism and both conceding some compromise is essential to get the job done.
The event was sponsored by the Pamlico County Republican Party to "strengthen communication and interaction," said David Wickersham, GOP chairman.
Based on seating, a larger-than-expected crowd of more than 80 attended the Friday night event, moderated by Oriental Mayor Bill Sage.
"This is a town hall meeting, not a debate," Sage said, setting expected decorum rules, including listening, speaking respectfully and "no personal attacks."
The legislators were praised by some for tax reforms that some feel have already enhanced the state's ability to recruit business. They also were criticized for actions such as funding for education, Medicaid and unemployment benefits.
Sanderson said he sees the possibility of a special legislative session to deal with some changes in the tax code, which have "caused an outcry loud and far. We started working on the bill, but the law passed is not the end of it."
While there were no "personal attacks," there was disagreement, including one person who called the lawmakers' actions on education, Medicaid and unemployment benefits "morally indefensible" and asked that they "please reconsider these things."
Speciale said: "We did not expand Medicaid because the Medicaid system in North Carolina is broken" and "I think it is a moral obligation to not spend people's money they don't have. There is 30 percent fraud in the system and that is not a smart way to spend money."
Sanderson said he agreed, and pointed to "a lot of fraud and administrative cost higher than any other state in the Southeast."
Speciale said that education accounted for 53 percent of the state budget and, at $12.8 billion, was double the $6 billion spent in 2000.
He said he was a product of public schools and believes in them, but also supports school choice. Speciale also said that, in his own experience, "there were no teacher assistants except in kindergarten. Studies have shown that not having teacher assistants does nothing to the academic success of the kids."
One speaker said she wanted to know what studies Speciale was looking at.
Scolded by one speaker about published comments Speciale made on the House floor during debate about puppy mill legislation that he initially supported, then voted against, the first-term legislator told the questioner that his comments were "sarcasm" and "quoted out of context."
He urged those concerned to go to the General Assembly's website where session recordings for the March 4 debate on House Bill 930 can be heard.
"I don't talk much on the House floor, but when I do, people listen," he said, adding that his point was that the bill had been "watered down" to the extent it would be impossible to enforce.
Pamlico Community College trustee Larry Prescott thanked both legislators for coming Friday and for meeting with the college's Board of Trustees prior to going to Raleigh to discuss funding for the school's workforce development equipment needs.
The state "did fund community colleges with more money this year, and that is very appreciated," he said.
Prescott also said that in a state meeting in Wilmington last week of community college trustees, Bob Jolly of the North Carolina Institute of Government provided an overview of the Voter ID law that passed with support from Sanderson and Speciale. That presentation dispelled "a lot of misconceptions. That presentation needs to be published," Prescott said.
Speciale said strict enforcement of the new Voter ID law does not come until 2016 and that those coming to the polls without a photo ID in 2014 will be personally advised on how to get one for free.
"A lot of effort went into this bill to make sure no one would be disenfranchised," he said. "We did cut back on early voting — it's expensive and hard on folks who work with the elections."
There will be fewer days to vote, but the same number of hours to vote early.
"The purpose of the bill is voter integrity," Speciale said. "With same-day registration, it is impossible to verify…and ripe for fraud."
He said there will still be absentee voting for those who don't want to stand in line or who are registered and don't have photo ID.
Sanderson and Speciale said they plan to continue participating — perhaps even organizing — events like the Friday forum to keep the lines of communication open.
"You think you will be in constant communication with your constituents," Sanderson said. "Then you get to Raleigh and there is something happening all the time and finding time to call and answer every email is hard to find."

I'm currently a sophomore at my university, majoring in Computer Science.
Obviously, there are some programming courses as part of my curriculum. However, I'm feeling very underwhelmed by its progress.
I've self-taught myself a lot and like to code in my spare time as a hobby.
I'm currently in Computer Science II. I never took CS 1 because it seemed rather basic -- I asked someone in the department if they would override my CS 1 requirement if I passed their final (which I did with flying colors).
Anyway, the class is going by quite slowly. It seems like the rest of the class has a hard time understanding some basic concepts, which the professor needs to keep going over to help them understand.
Is this normal? Looking at the class schedule, I seem to know everything except for one or two things near the very end of the semester.
Is there a different perspective I can look at this through so it doesn't seem so boring?

Everyday items employ minerals from artisanal mining, especially in technological devices. Coltan from the Democratic Republic of Congo for use in cell phones, pacemakers, and video cameras and lithium for batteries from Afghanistan, Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, as well as industrial diamonds from Sierra Leone, arrive daily at ports all over the world. But these gems and minerals that make lives so much easier in the developed world, exact a heavy toll on the people who extract them and on the environment. As the world becomes more aware of the sources of these minerals, the need for a group such as Communities and Small-Scale Mining (CASM) becomes self-evident.
In existence for 10 years under the World Bank directorship, CASM has been able to achieve a great deal, including developing comprehensive strategies to mitigate the environmental impacts of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM,) developing training materials to preserve the health, safety, and environment of artisanal miners; increasing integration of awareness; and increasing implementation of "integrated policy and practice" models by international agencies and governments.
In order to address this concern, stakeholders from the private sector, government, and civil society met on June 28-29 at the World Bank to thrash out the prospects for this network. In spite of the difficulties, participants applauded the World Bank CASM team for its efforts to promote the endeavor with very limited resources. Throughout the two days of the roundtable, many ideas were conceived and supported for further discussion.
"This sector is not recognized as an economic sector. It is not recognized as part of the social sector although it has a large impact on both areas. Finding the right home for CASM is a challenge," commented Laura Barreto from the Alliance for Responsible Mining in Canada.
Keven Telmer from the Artisanal Gold Council noted that CASM was not represented at the recent Global Mercury Conference where delegates from 120 countries congregated. The delegates recognized the importance of ASM to their economies and expressed interest in treating the problem holistically.
Going forward, all agreed that CASM should continue. The form and focus will be laid out by a planning committee which will prepare a strategic options paper and a business plan for submission to other members and presentation at the next CASM annual conference. It is expected that a better, stronger CASM will emerge after this.

I highly recommend that anyone who has an issue with their loans or mortgages to leverage the resources this business has put together. It could be the best thing they ever did!"
Kevin - Washington
"When my wife and I fell upon hard times, like many people during the current economic crisis, we tried several times to work with the bank with no resolve. Just as we were about to give up, a friend recommended What Lies In Your Debt. Since What Lies In Your Debt has come into our lives, they not only assist and guide us through this difficult time, but they also give us hope. What Lies In Your Debt works for our best interests and not the bank's, they give us honest answers and know more about our rights than any banking representative would even want us to know."
Louis and Kate - Florida
You have come to the right place!
Fraud involving mortgage loans, and/or foreclosure proceedings are increasingly less tolerated by courts. In addition, some mistakes and fraud actually violate laws and your rights as a homeowner and consumer under the TILA, RESPA, and by State and Federal Acts. We have even seen cases where the mortgage did not match the note. That fact alone can stop the foreclosure dead in its tracks. In other cases, the transfer of rights in the property was not properly executed in the mortgage which leaves the bank with an unsecured credit line. There are many factors which makes almost all foreclosures illegal. If you are not aware of these factors you are walking away and losing your home for no good reason.
With our proven, easy to follow system, you will be able to stay in your home and keep your cash.
So join now and get on the path to saving your home.
Our members actually make money using our process while not paying big bucks for a process that just doesn't work! Rip off artists are abundant in these economic times. Just check Google and states' attorneys' offices, con artists without a conscience are plaguing struggling home owners or people who are having hard times. Take control yourself and don't count on anyone to get you through the tough times. Our proven system will show you how to keep the banks and debt collectors at bay while making them pay you every time they break the law!
Using our Proven System you can:
Don't believe us? Just enter your name and email address there on the left and we will send you a free webinar showing you how to pocket a quick $1,000.00 in the next 30 days.
The real question is, can I not afford to join?
We offer a full 60 day money back guarantee.
If you are like millions of Americans who are behind on their mortgage or thinking about doing a strategic walk out, behind on their credit cards, or just being harrased by debt collectors, then this system is for you.

The story of Cotton Mather teaches that it is good for us all to keep alive the role of both divine and human communication when engaged in science.
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
While it is true that Goodwin and others believe that their discoveries pose a major challenge to neo-Darwinian orthodoxy, this does not cause them to abandon their belief that the history of life can be explained as the outcome of biological processes!
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.

The lights are on
Our regularly revised feature keeps you up to date on the Kickstarter games worth watching, and helps you track projects both before and after they're funded.
Welcome to the Kickstarter Compendium, a gathering of games and game-related projects that we've come across that deserve your attention. The crowd-funding model for video games has resulted in some fascinating new game ideas, and new projects are going up on a weekly basis that deserve your attention.
The only problem is keeping track of it all – what's worth watching, and what are these different projects about? As an ongoing feature, our Kickstarter Compendium is your guide to games seeking funding through Kickstarter. After funding projects are complete, this feature will also track what games (and game-related projects) got funded and which ones didn't – and, where possible, offer links to the projects as they are developed.
[Editor's Note: This feature was co-written by Jon Gregory, Elise Favis, Matthew Stolpe, Jason Dafnis, Wayne Stainrook, Cameron Koch, Isaac Federspiel, Katie Seville, Liz Lanier, Kayla Herrera, Ali Rapp, Mike Mahardy, and Matt Miller.]
Projects Seeking Funding
Albert & OttoDeveloper: Nikola KosticFundraising Goal: $15,000Funds Due By: March 25, 2015
At first glance, Albert & Otto looks like another 2D puzzle platformer in the vein of Limbo, but a little time watching the game in action reveals that it's something a bit different at its core. The most obvious shakeup is the visual style, which while appearing to be 2D subtly shows to be 3D through animated sequences. Main character Otto is also not alone or defenseless. At his side is a gun that allows him to fight back, and an unassuming little stuffed rabbit that he uses to help solve puzzles. Otto also has some magical capabilities at his disposal, allowing him to levitate objects in a manner similar to the wizard from Trine. Following the kidnapping of his friend, Otto must set out on a dangerous adventure to find her and bring her back.
CadenceDeveloper: Made With Monster LoveFundraising Goal: £25,000Funds Due By: March 26, 2015
Cadence is a rhythm game with ambitions of being more than just a challenge. Like Fract OSC, Cadence aims to let players create as well as solve puzzles, but with the added benefit of being less overwhelming than Phosfiend Systems' first-person music game. In Cadence, players arrange notes in a field, with the distance between the notes as they chose to connect them determining the frequency at which they are played. The ultimate goal in the puzzle side of the game is to create loops that run endlessly. Creating a loop isn't as simple as just making a big closed circuit. Different notes react differently when the beat reaches them; some send out pulses in all directions, one direction, only if struck by two sources at once, and so forth. Beats that meet in the middle of a connection fail, and force players to fix their mistake to keep the loop flowing. Getting everything working right can be quite complex, and the game eventually expands into managing multiple instrument loops at once.
Deadwood: The Forgotten CurseDeveloper: Steamroller StudiosFundraising Goal: $65,000Funds Due By: April 7, 2015
Deadwood: The Forgotten Curse is one of those games that pulls from enough disparate ideas that you wonder how no one seemed to fit any of them together before. Equal parts twin-stick shooter, wave-based survival, and tower defense, Deadwood adds some much needed charm to each genre along with an interesting central hook. During the daytime in Deadwood, players are protected by their magical stone golem Roguard. The towering rock monster lumbers along behind main character Lathe, allowing him to safely explore the world for resources. When night falls, however, Roguard settles down to sleep and Lathe must keep him safe from the Deadwood, a horde of wooden zombies. Backing up Deadwood is a team with impressive backgrounds, including time at animation studios Weta and Dreamworks, and game projects like BioShock.
Descent: UndergroundDeveloper: Descendent StudiosFundraising Goal: $600,000Funds Due By: April 10, 2015
Kickstarter is a haven for revamping long-abandoned franchises, and Descent: Underground is just one of the latest cult classics to look for a new lease on life via crowdfunding. The original Descent released on PC in 1995, arguably too early for its "six degrees of freedom" space flight – and right in the middle of the console market's rise to power. Inputs weren't as accurate as they are now, and the flashy console wars stole the PC platform's thunder. However, recent years have seen a big resurgence in spacefaring games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous. Enter Descent: Underground, a multiplayer focused ship game with a voxel environment that can be destroyed over the course of a game. If funded, Descent: Underground will also be one of the few games using Unreal Engine 4, and the engine shines in the enclosed spaces of the map Descendent Studios has shown off. Keep a doggy bag handy if you're thinking about backing Descent, though, you might need it when the release date rolls around.
Halcyon 6: Starbase CommanderDeveloper: Massive Damage, Inc.Fundraising Goal: $40,000Funds Due By: April 9, 2015
Halcyon 6 may have a rather modest Kickstarter goal attached to it, but that doesn't mean it isn't an ambitious game. The strategy roguelike puts players in control of a massive space station that is also the last hope for humanity. It combines a bunch of elements from some of the video game world's most challenging games into a world inspired by classic science fiction universes like Star Trek and Star Wars.
Players' biggest hurdle will be the brutal turn-based combat, both in space and on the ground. Backing up the fight against an overwhelming alien force, is the need to manage the Halcyon 6 space station in a manner similar to XCOM's home base. Developer Massive Damage, Inc. has also promised a crew of characters full of personality, and that their personality will impact how the characters perform in certain situations. Topping off everything are gorgeous pixel art aliens and outer space vistas.
QuiplashDeveloper: Jackbox GamesFundraising Goal: $15,000Funds Due By: April 13, 2015
The team at Jackbox Games has been making the wildly popular You Don't Know Jack series of trivia games for years, but they hit a massive homerun last year with the release of the Jackbox Party Pack. The quirky collection of games, particularly new creations Fibbage and Drawful, were an instant hit. The games also became a go-to option for streamers on Twitch who were searching for a way to get their audiences involved in the show. Quiplash is partially a response to the Twitch community, while also being a simple and brilliant idea for a party game. Two players are given a prompt to submit answers on their phones, and those answers are then judged by as many people as the players can coordinate – whether that's a stream full of fans or a room full of friends.
Seven Dragon SagaDeveloper: Tactical Simulations InteractiveFundraising Goal: $450,000Funds Due By: April 13, 2015
It's been a long time since a game was released under the Strategic Simulations, Inc. name. Purchased by Ubisoft in 2001 after more than two decades and 100 games, the brand was ultimately retired as Ubisoft expanded. There was a time when SSI and its Gold Box engine RPGs were a force to be reckoned with, and that's exactly the time a group of veterans from the studio are hoping to recapture. Seven Dragon Saga is the first game from Tactical Simulations Interactive and, though it shares more in common with Baldur's Gate than its Gold Box precursors, it's an old school tactical RPG through and through. Players build a six character party and guide them through turn-based battles in classic fantasy settings. TSI promises a massive world and interesting conflict to pair with battling skeletons and dragons.
Slain!Developer: Wolf Brew GamesFundraising Goal: $12,000Funds Due By: March 27, 2015
Slain is a tribute to the brutally difficult, and just plain brutal [link back to Fava versus Ninja Gaiden], side-scrolling action games of yesteryear. The game wears its Castlevania [Symphony of the night replay link back] inspirations most obviously, as players dodge bats and battle massive skeletons in the ominous castle setting. If you enjoyed Volgaar The Viking, then Slain's gameplay is right up your alley. Fans of retro aesthetics are also likely to be drawn in by the game's gorgeous pixelart graphics. The pixel aesthetic is often overdone or poorly executed in other projects, but Slain's world is so well animated and richly detailed that it doesn't seem like an excuse for the developer to skimp on presentation costs.
Spectrum: An Elegy for PianoDeveloper: Rienzi GokeaFundraising Goal: $30,000Funds Due By: April 12, 2015
Few games play around with real-world conditions in interesting ways, especially when they aren't associated with something physically or mentally dramatic. Spectrum, however, tackles a very real condition called synesthesia. While synesthesia can manifest in many different forms, Spectrum's main character Timothy hears music as color. The resulting game is a mix of puzzle and adventure mechanics, based around colors and sounds. When Timothy's mother, a talented pianist, passes away, his father begins neglecting the family-run concert hall. After a time, the music Timothy loved fades, as does the color of the world around him; and players must guide the young boy on a journey to restore them. As players return colors to the world, the game's music becomes more complex, as opposed to the simple scales and chords of the previously dull environments.
Toejam and Earl: Back in the GrooveDeveloper: Humanature StudiosFundraising Goal: $400,000Funds Due By: March 27, 2015
Toejam and Earl has always been a weird series (weird enough that we paired the second game with eccentric rapper Riff Raff for an episode of Replay). A handful of the team behind the original game have taken to Kickstarter to fund another entry in the cult classic series. The new game promises a big overhaul to the world of Toejam and Earl. Four player co-op, persistent elements between playthroughs, new music, a combination of both games' gameplay, 3D terrain, and a new art style are all slated as additions for Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove. To top it all off, the team has already recorded a pretty amazing track as a demo of what to expect for the final release.

Subglottic Hemangioma
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of infancy, often appearing as a red birthmark.
Most of the time, hemangiomas do not require treatment. However, in some cases, they can have cosmetic or functional consequences, including obstructing a child's vision or airway.
Medical management of infantile hemangiomas include prescribing steroids, interferon alpha, vincristine, or propanalol. In severe cases, surgical management is sometimes considered. Depending on the case, laser debulking, excision, tracheotomy, or open airway excision may be recommended.

GREENVILLE - For nearly 20 years part of downtown Greenville's holiday decorations has included the nativity scene that sits on the north end of the traffic circle. On Christmas day a report came in that something was missing, the baby Jesus.
The community donated funding for the figures that were purchased in Gatlinburg, Tenn. by local pastor Herschel Fee and his wife Barbara. Members of the Fee's church family at the Lighthouse Christian Center in Greenville built the housing trailer that the nativity scene sits in. The decorations are stored at the church during the year and brought to the downtown Greenville destination when the city begins its holiday decorating.
"The nativity scene belongs to the community. We don't want to file any charges, just want the figures returned," Barbara Fee told The Daily Advocate.
Besides the baby Jesus, the manger and two shepherds were also removed sometime Tuesday or Wednesday. It is asked that anyone that has or knows where the figures are, to please bring them to the Greenville City building or leave a message at the Lighthouse Christian Center for Barbara Fee at 937-548-7464. No questions will be asked.

Comments about VP Platform Exerciser Pedals:
I use this product on my touring bicycle. The product is made for indoor trainers but i have not found another product that will work as well as this for my application.
If you take the counter weight out they are very light cycling pedal. They provide good support for flat feet of feet that need a wide area. They help prevent hot spots when riding long distances ( more than 4 hours), allow the use of regular shoes without special cleats, and are easy to adjust. Price is good
Cons: They are a large pedal and you need to be careful while cornering, The bearings are not well made and, on the road, you only get 500 miles out of a set. This is my third set.
To improve this product use better bearings for outside riding

Comments about VP Platform Exerciser Pedals:
I use my recumbent bike 4+ times per week, and for apprx. 5 years. This is the second time I've had to replace the straps on the pedals. Considering my sons who average 6'4" in height (and are big athletic young men) use my bike also, I feel that is not bad.
I'm extremely pleased with the hardy replacements that Jenson has shipped and fast! I love my bike and am not ready to replace it, so being able to order the straps/pedals is a very economical, practical solution to keeping my bike in good running condition.

By M.J. Freidrich, Pure Matters
Hormones can also speed the growth of some types of cancer. For example, the hormones estrogen and progesterone can stimulate the growth of some breast tumors.
Hormonal therapy is used to prevent or block hormones from speeding up the growth of cancer cells. Different forms of hormonal therapy, which is also called hormone therapy or endocrine therapy, are used to treat breast, prostate, and endometrial cancers.
In general, there are two different approaches to hormonal therapy:
- Surgical, in which an organ in the body that produces the hormone or hormones that stimulate cancer growth is removed. For example, the ovaries, which produce estrogen, can be removed to slow some breast cancer growth.
- Medical, in which agents are used to block the hormones that stimulate cancer growth. For example, the drug tamoxifen helps prevent estrogen from stimulating prostate cancer growth.
The female hormones estrogen and progesterone promote the growth of some breast tumors. Hormonal therapy may be given to block these hormones from stimulating tumor growth.
Many breast cancer cells have proteins on their surfaces that can bind to estrogen. These proteins are called estrogen receptors. Tumors may also have progesterone receptors that bind to progesterone. When estrogen or progesterone binds to its receptor on the cancer cell, it signals that cell to grow.
Not all breast cancers have estrogen or progesterone receptors. In general, hormonal therapy appears to be more effective in treating breast tumors that have hormone receptors than in treating tumors that do not have these receptors.
Hormonal therapy is used in women with advanced breast cancer that has spread, or metastasized, to other parts of the body. It is also used in women who have been recently diagnosed with a large breast tumor to shrink the cancer before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) or to prevent cancer from returning after surgery or radiation (adjuvant therapy). In some women, who have a high risk for getting breast cancer, hormonal therapy is used to prevent cancer from developing.
Hormonal therapy, like other types of cancer treatment, has side effects. An overview of hormonal therapies and ways to prevent or minimize these side effects are discussed below
Types of Hormonal Therapies
There are a variety of hormonal therapies are available for breast cancer. Each type works a bit differently, but all have the same goal of starving the tumor of estrogen.
- SERMs. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are antiestrogen drugs that bind to the estrogen receptor. This prevents estrogen from binding to the receptor and stimulating cancer cell growth. SERMs include tamoxifen, toremifene and raloxifene. They are taken as oral tablets. Tamoxifen is the most commonly used SERM.
- Aromatase inhibitors. These drugs are used in older women who have been through menopause. Although their ovaries no longer produce large amounts of estrogen, male hormones (androgens) do circulate in the blood that can be changed into estrogen. An enzyme called aromatase carries out this change. Aromatase inhibitors prevent aromatase from changing androgens into estrogen. Anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are examples of aromatase inhibitors. They are taken as oral tablets.
- Estrogen receptor downregulators. A new class of hormonal therapy drugs is the estrogen receptor (ER) downregulator. One example is fulvestrant, which is given by a monthly injection into the muscle. Like SERMs, ER downregulators bind to the estrogen receptor and block estrogen from binding to it. In addition, they also break down the estrogen receptor, lowering the number of receptors in the cell (a process called downregulation).
- Megestrol acetate. This is a progesterone-like drug that may be used in women with advanced breast cancer who do not benefit from tamoxifen.
- Ovarian ablation. The ovaries are the main source of estrogen in women who have not reached menopause. They may be removed by surgery through a procedure called oophorectomy or they may be made inactive by radiation therapy. Removing or inactivating the ovaries causes premature menopause and its symptoms, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Loss of bone mass also occurs in menopause. When the ovaries are removed, a large amount of bone can be lost in a short time, which can lead to osteoporosis if it is not treated.
Side Effects Of Hormonal Therapy And Ways To Manage Them
The side effects of hormonal therapy tend to be less severe than those caused by chemotherapy. In fact, some women experience few symptoms or have side effects that get better with time. But when side effects do arise, it is important for women to report all symptoms, even those that are minor, to a nurse or doctor. Hormonal therapy is often taken for long periods of time and symptoms can last throughout treatment if they are not treated. Women should also always talk to their doctor about any alternative remedies they might want to try. Some alternative remedies can interfere with treatment.
Below are some ways to cope with some of the side effects of hormonal therapy.
More Common Side Effects
Hot flashes. A hot flash, also called a hot flush, with or without sweating, is a sudden rush of warmth to the face, neck, upper chest, and back that can last for a few seconds to an hour or more. This side effect is quite common with hormonal therapy. Some women experience mild symptoms while others have more severe effects. In many cases, hot flashes stop when hormonal treatment stops. Some women report that hot flashes last for years after treatment is finished.
The following are some treatment options for managing hot flashes. Not all have been scientifically tested:
- Megestrol acetate (Megace), a form of progesterone called progestin that seems to be effective in lowering hot flash severity, but has some side effects, including breast tenderness, irregular vaginal bleeding, mood changes, and bloating.
- Antidepressants, such as venlafaxine (Effexor), given in doses smaller than those given for depression.
- Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera)
- Clonidine (Catapres), normally used to lower high blood pressure. Comes in a patch. May be no better than a placebo, or dummy pill. Side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, and sleep difficulties.
- Phytoestrogens are estrogens that come from plants. Soy products and some herbs contain phytoestrogens. Although raising the amount of phytoestrogens in the diet is commonly recommended to lessen the severity of hot flashes, studies have shown conflicting results about their effectiveness.
- Vitamin E, undergoing evaluation but overall effects seem to be small.
- Relaxation training
- Dietary changes – avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods.
- Clothing – wear absorbent cotton clothing in layers that can be easily removed.
- Use sprays or moist wipes to help lower skin temperature.
- Acupuncture
Vaginal dryness and other vaginal issues. Vaginal dryness and/or discharge can be bothersome. Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants can help with this symptom. Vaginal moisturizers, such as Replens, Gyne-Moistrin, and Lubrin, can be used as needed to keep the vagina moist. Water-soluble lubricants, such as KY Jelly and Astroglide or any vaginal moisturizers, can be used before sexual activity. Applying vitamin E to the area can lessen irritation and burning.
In addition to vaginal dryness, women may also experience vaginal thinning and difficult or painful intercourse. Lubricants can help with some of these problems, as well.
Vaginal infections may also occur more frequently. Over the counter antifungal creams can provide relief for infections, but a woman should contact her gynecologist for symptoms that do not go away.
Fatigue. A common problem in women with cancer is fatigue or a lack of energy. Many things can cause fatigue, such as anemia, depression, pain, poor nutrition, medication, and inadequate sleep. Some ways to prevent fatigue include:
- Go to bed at a regular time
- Take short "power" naps during the day
- Engage in an exercise routine, with doctor's supervision. For example work out a moderate, low-intensity exercise such as walking 10 to 30 minutes a day.
- Eat healthy foods and drink fluids
- If anemia is contributing to fatigue, blood growth stimulators such as epoetin alpha (Procrit) or blood transfusions may be prescribed

Sure Marcus Ginyard wants his camp participants to learn more about basketball. But the biggest thing is, he just wants them to have fun and get better.
Ginyard is bringing his Marcus Ginyard Basketball Camp back to Jacksonville for the second year in a row.
The two-day camp will be held at the Jacksonville Commons Recreation Center on Saturday, Aug. 3 and Sunday, Aug. 4.
The former North Carolina guard will be aided in instruction by several current and former college basketball players.
For sure, former Tar Heel Mike Copeland, Ginyard's brother Ronald Ginyard, head basketball coach at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Va., former High Point player Landon Quick and another Tar Heel will be assisting.
Ginyard said he is also close to finalizing a special North Carolina player to be a guest speaker on Aug. 4.
"What we are reaching for, first and foremost, is to make sure these kids come out and enjoy themselves," Ginyard said. "I want to create a place for kids to come and have a good time.
"I want these kids to walk away from the camp feeling like they got something and that they had a good time. If they learn a little something about basketball, that's even better."
Ginyard, who played his final game with Carolina in 2010, said he enjoys teaching basketball to kids, especially ones who cheer on the Tar Heels.
Plus, he said, seeing former Division I athletes don't happen often for most of the kids.
The camp is open for kids between the ages of 8 to 15.
"It's an amazing experience to be able to teach these kids and see the excitement in their face of wanting to meet a Carolina player and just be around sports," Ginyard said.
"It's a very humbling experience for me to be able to teach these kids something."
Ginyard recalls being a kid, and receiving tips and instruction from college and professional athletes. That's one of the reasons he enjoys hosting these basketball camps.
"It was something I enjoyed when I was growing up, and I want to do the best I can so these kids can have the same experience," he said.
"I want to bring Carolina closer to these people. I know a lot of these kids will never have a chance to go to a Carolina game or go to a Carolina camp."
For registration information, visit marcusginyard.com and follow the camps tab.
Aside from basketball instruction, Ginyard noted that they will play games, have contests and have some items to giveaway.
The camp cost is $60 for one day or $100 for both days. The registration fee also includes lunch, sports drinks and a camp t-shirt.
Ginyard has spent the past three years playing basketball overseas in Germany, Israel and Poland.
He was a defensive standout for the Tar Heels from 2005-2010.

Since 1984, everyone at Nidecker has had one common goal : to push the technological envelope of snowboarding. Our design team works closely with our professional riders and technology partners to develop state-of-the-art composite materials and design innovations. Our single-minded pursuit of excellence has allowed us to revolutionize snowboarding…over…and over…and over again. Join us on the cutting edge.
The Biggest Development in Snowboard Construction since Camrock.
Swiss Core is a new technology from Nidecker that will change the way snowboarders not only ride, but how they look at their snowboards. Requiring an extraordinarily high level of -precision- in the manufacturing process, we consider this new technology similar to the "Swiss Movement" found in many of today's finest Swiss watches. What it simply means is that we took a complex matrix of -fibers- and engineered them in such a way that the board reacts differently when flexed in different directions, thus improving performance no matter what your style of riding. When the board is flexed down, the -matrix- forces the edges to rise, thus making it easier for the board to slide on rails or boxes without catching an edge. When the board is flexed up, such as when making turns, the matrix forces the edges to press down, which allows for superior hold during those turns. What this boils down to is a full on, high-stoke revolution that is going to improve your overall ride, no matter what your style of riding.
Because this technology demands such a high level of -precision- manufacturing, all boards using Swiss Core technology will be produced in Switzerland, at our state-of-the-art factory outside of Geneva.permalink

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great quality and prices
Great experience. There were many ways to customize the wedding invitations. Other websites I had been on wouldn't let you customize this much and cost HUNDREDS more than magnetstreet. They came promptly in a beautifully packaged box. Thank you!
Wonderful products!
The quality of the product is superb. We ordered save the date magnets and invitations. I highly recommend.
Quick & pretty good quality
I got my "save the dates" here too and was pretty happy both with pricing & quality. I also did my wedding invitations here too. I will say, like most brides, I waited too long to order them and was really happy with how quick Magnet Street was. The invitations were a pretty good quality of paper and I was pleased with them. However, a few of them had random ink marks on them. I ordered 150 invitations and about 3-4 had some weird marks. Good thing I over ordered!
Very pretty
I was very happy with my order. I was able to pick my colors that will be used in my wedding. The quality of the magnet is very good! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a less expensive way for sending out save the dates.
Just Perfect
These were great. Perfect for what we wanted, they were very accommodating to our requests. All in all a great experience

By Debbie Rolen email@example.com
February 11, 2014
A little girl who sang "Sea of Cowboy Hats' and won her first singing competition during the Magnolia Fair at Matewan has grown into a beautiful and talented young woman who is well on her way to living her dream as a country music singer.
The Madison Creek native has been working hard toward her goal and says she was "bit by the bug" when she was on that Magnolia Fair stage at age four.
"I will never forget that. I remember telling them 'thank you for letting me win.' I won a savings bond that I kept it until I was 17."
Kaitlin says from then on, she sang whenever she got an opportunity, often in church — any church — in West Virginia and North Carolina. She says she doesn't sing in competition very often, but has won the Quaker Steak and Lube singing competition twice.
Kaitlin graduated from Logan High School, started college and married her high school sweetheart. The couple live in Logan and have a four-year-old daughter, Peyton. Kaitlin says she has known her husband forever.
"I have known Chad all my life. My mom cut his hair when he was little. I couldn't stand him then, but in the 11th grade, I started liking him a little bit. He played baseball in school, now he's an underground coal miner at Mountain Laurel. He's very supportive, he comes to very show he can get to and he let's me use the living room to practice. The travel and time away from home is the hardest part of the lifestyle to deal with right now. I'm gone at least three days a week for practice, events and recording. Peyton goes with me on a lot of the trips. Peyton loves to sing, but not so much my songs, she likes Katy Perry. She keeps the stress down from this job. She evens it out for me."
In 2012, Kaitlin felt like she had to change her life. Going to school and working was just not what she wanted to do. She says she sat down with her mom and said, "I'm quitting school and I'm quitting my job. I want to be a singer." That was when a new family business was started and they went on the road.
"This is a family business," said Kaitlin, "My dad is the finance person and security; my mom is my manager, critiquer, overseer and songwriter; my sister does my back-up vocals and my grandparents are investors and my biggest fans. It's an expensive career and people in Nashville have said Nashville is a '10-year town,' meaning it takes about 10 years to achieve success as a country singer there."
Kaitlin is two years into that ten years and her career isn't at the point where it's paying the bills. She says there's no going back at this point. She said, "This has to work. I have no Plan B."
In addition to traveling to Nashville once a week, and Greenville, S.C. as she works on her career, this busy young woman continues to sing at charity functions and churches, balance her family life and even finds time to shoot at indoor archery competitions. She has an Elite bow guys, and she knows how to use it. She's one of the few women West Virginia to shoot open class with a back tension. She recently came in second in a competition at Sod Archery in Lincoln County, W.Va..
Illustrated Steam at Nashville has offered her a marketing promotion contract. Some of their clients include Dirks Bentley, Charlie Worsham, Keith Urban and Brett Eldridge. They have also worked with Universal and Warner Brothers Records.
Kaitlin will be opening for Eric Paslay at the Coalfield Jamboree on Feb. 22, then will be recording a new album, "Burnin' Bridges," which will be available on iTunes. She is working with drummer Scotty Hawkins, who was formerly with Reba McEntire, now with Kix Brooks and is currently on the cover of Modern Drummer; Tim Lawter, engineer and bass guitar player, who has been with the Marshall Tucker Band for ten years and will engineer her new album; Chris Dingess, lead guitar player from Logan and her sister Jane Bragg, who sings back-up vocals. For the show in February, she will be with Mountain Station from Huntington. Kaitlin says she will collaborate with Mountain Station from now on, along with Chris Dingess and Jane Bragg, who will always be with her.
The new album, which is scheduled to be out in April, will feature new music and a new style for Kaitlin. She says she is excited to get started.
"I want to bring traditional country music back with an updated sound and I'm excited for the public to see the new me. It's exciting, something fresh and new."
Kaitlin has a website, www.kaitlinboytek.com, is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kaitboytek and Twitter @kaitboytek.
Message Kaitlin on Facebook to buy tickets to the show at the Coalfield Jamboree on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014. Tickets are $20 each and the doors open at 6 p.m.
