As the crisp fall air settles in and bright orange and red leaves swirl down from the trees, what better time to hit the trail? But as you plan your fall wilderness hikes, don't forget your canine friends! Here are some ASPCA expert tips to ensure your dog's safety as you explore the great outdoors together.
- Pack a leash. With so many nooks and crannies to explore on the trail, it's best to opt for a non-extending leash to avoid potential tangles with branches and brambles.
- Bring IDs, please! Always make sure that your current contact information, including your cell phone number, is attached to your dog's collar or harness.
- Check your records. You never know what you might encounter on a hike through the woods. Before you set out on your journey, make sure your pet's vaccinations are up to date.
- Give pests the boot. Tick prevention is essential when tromping through the great outdoors. Treat your pooch with PetArmor, a spot-on flea and tick treatment by FidoPharm, one of the ASPCA's corporate partners.
- Leave no trace. Scoop up after your dog when she goes to the bathroom as you would on a stroll through your neighborhood.
- Stay hydrated—don't forget to bring enough water for yourself and your dog. It's best to avoid letting your dog drink from nature's water fountains, as puddles, lakes and streams can be home to nasty parasites and toxins that could be harmful to your furry friends.
For more tips about keeping your pet safe in the wilderness, check out our expert hiking safety tips, and feel free to download our printable Hiking Safety Tips guide [PDF] to carry with you on the trail.
When advising people to scoop up products of elimination, please avoid the term "goes to the bathroom". Elimination of waste is a physiologic function of every living entity, wherever its living space and whatever its anatomic design are. We can respect the miracle of physiology without using euphanisms. Thank you.
What's the difference if someone says: "goes to the bathroom", "eliminates" or "poops" ? If it gets the poing across without offending anyone- that's the objective ! Some people are uncomfortable and/or were brought up to use euphemisms. And while you're busy correcting everyone- learn how to spell ! It's : euphemism, not: euphanism.
This picture of that beautiful husky is just awsome and it is amazing!I think that people need to keep their dogs on a leash at all times and keep the dogs hydrated!
I hunt, I believe that companion animals like dogs, cats, horses ect. deserve the best care available. It's like having children. you oh them a good life. There are a lot of hunters out there that would give a lot of money if they knew you were not trying to stop hunting. My springer spanials live to hunt. could you please clarify your position on wild animals that are legally aloud to be hunted. I would give money in a heart beat if you do not have the extreme views of the humane society of america.
Please answer me this question? Where do you draw the line between what you consider to be a companion animal and a hunted one? The so called sport the you enjoy is a senseless barbaric act entirely and truly. At one point in our past humans hunted out of necessity. But times have changed and we have evolved, so should you.
I'm not sure why the comments changed from enjoying the beauty of nature with our best friend to hunting?
I agree that hunting can be useful. Especially in places where the natural predators have been killed off, which in itself was wrong.
But anyone that believes in 'sport/trophy hunting' is in the wrong. It's the truly exceptional that should be left alone and hunt as the wolf does, taking the smaller and older. That will bring the animals through natural selection to grow stronger, healthier, larger and to live longer. Hunting should always be done with the plan only of hunting legally when and where the law allows. And second hunt to consume all rather than just the 'best cuts'
But the only real reason hunting should've been mentioned in this article is to remind people to mark their pets with bright fluorescent and distinct colors like hunter orange, lime green, etc as a warning to hunters that our pets are not prey.

New Directions for the Great Lakes Community
Earlier chapters have described the resources of the Great Lakes,
how humans have used and benefited from them, and the physical,
biological and chemical impacts of human activity. As the story of
the Great Lakes unfolds, the importance of protecting and preserving
the lakes is highlighted. The previous chapter mapped the
development of an involved, broad-based 'community' of Great Lakes
concern. Citizens from all sectors of society are discovering their
own personal connection to the Great Lakes. As a result, they are
becoming increasingly involved in actions to protect and preserve
this vital ecosystem.
The surge of public involvement in management of the Great Lakes reflects the change in attitudes toward the lakes over the years. The belief in earlier times that the effects of pollution were necessary results of prosperity and progress has given way to the philosophy that the Great Lakes ecosystem must be managed responsibly and treated respectfully.
Cooperation on many fronts highlights the commitment of the people of the United States and Canada to prevent further degradation and to protect the future of the Great Lakes. This commitment has been reflected through the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, national programs for environmental protection and the involvement of governments, non-government agencies and groups, researchers, industries, communities and individuals.
The public's direct actions have influenced both governments and industry. Together, citizens from both sides of the border have provided the impetus for governments to cooperate and adopt more creative and effective management solutions to Great Lakes problems. The concept of an ecosystem approach to management has become reality from the experiences of this broad-based Great Lakes community.
Research conducted in universities and government agencies is contributing a substantial body of theory and information for practical management programs, and a better understanding of the ecosystem and its properties. Research continues to look for solutions to existing and emerging problems.
The refinement of mass balance and biomonitoring techniques is an ongoing task. There is still an urgent need to understand how toxic substances move through the Great Lakes ecosystem on land, in the air, by water and through the food web. More information is needed about less obvious, nonpoint pollution sources to the Great Lakes, such as land runoff, long-range transport of contaminants in the atmosphere into the Great Lakes basin, movement of chemicals in groundwater and secondary pollution that may occur when substances combine chemically in air or water.
Research is required to answer human health questions, to promote
improved human health and to prevent disease. Indicators of human and
ecosystem health must be developed and supported by ecosystem monitoring.
The extent to which the ecosystem is affected by the hormone-like effects of
persistent chlorinated substances must be determined.
The Future of the Great Lakes
The story of the Great Lakes does not end here. Although progress has been steady and the ecosystem has shown signs of recovery, pollution will continue to be a major concern in the years to come. A broader scope of regulation of toxic chemicals may be necessary as research and monitoring reveal practices that are harmful. More stringent controls of waste disposal are already being applied in many locations. Agricultural practices are being examined because of the far-reaching effects of pesticides and fertilizers. In addition to pollution problems, better understanding of the living resources and habitats of the Great Lakes basin is needed to support protection and rehabilitation of the biodiversity of the ecosystem and to strengthen management of natural resources. Wetlands, forests, shorelines and other environmentally sensitive areas will have to be more strictly protected and, in some cases, rehabilitated and expanded.
As health protection measures are taken and environmental cleanup
continues, rehabilitation of degraded areas and prevention of further damage
are being recognized as the best way to promote good health, and protect and
preserve the living resources and habitats of the Great Lakes.
People in the Ecosystem
As people living around the lakes make the connection between themselves and the Great Lakes, they will become increasingly involved in positive actions. People are indeed reclaiming, cleaning up and restoring their watersheds, local shorelines, parks and green space. Through careful management of technology and economic development, people can live within the ecosystem without causing injury. In return, the lakes and the lands surrounding them will continue to contribute to the quality of life for the people of the region and all living things in the Great Lakes ecosystem and beyond.

The Wine Spectator devoted its annual food issue to BEEF, and we celebrate it with kits designed to give you the opportunity to experience the fine qualities and rich flavors of the three major varieties of beef: grass fed (DeBragga gets its pure, rich-tasting grass fed beef from the Finger Lakes region of New York State), American Wagyu Signature Steaks (the outrageously marbled breed that originated in Japan but flourishes today in Australia and the U.S.), and DeBragga's hand select, dry aged beef. DeBragga tags every piece of beef that goes into the dry aging room, and then ages no piece for less than 28 days. We feel that 28-35 days of age is optimal for most beef, and you'll agree, once you taste and compare.

DEEP RUN — M.L. Carr won two NBA championships while a member of the Boston Celtics. He won a national championship at Guilford College and is considered one of the best prep basketball players in North Carolina High School Athletic Association history.
There's only one team — at any level — Carr will admit that was better than any he played for, though.
"I say this 40-some years later, but South Lenoir had a better team than ours," said Carr, a star on the Wallace-Rose Hill squad and future that handed the Rebels — as South Lenoir's sports teams were known in the 1960s — their only loss in 1968-69. "I've never said that about the Lakers or about the Sixers, but that South Lenoir team was a better team than we were."
It'd be hard to argue with a man who later went on to coach the Celtics and work in the team's front office. The Rebels won their first 25 games — including three in a row against Carr's Wallace-Rose Hill squad — and did so in commanding fashion.
The 1968-69 South Lenoir Rebels, coached by the legendary Tom Salter and led by the senior quartet of Herman Davis, Jimmy Smith, Cobb Turner and Larry Avery and junior John "Slick" Byrd, averaged 78.5 points a game while only surrendering 57.1. All five Rebels starters averaged more than 10 points per game, led by Davis' 16 points per game, Byrd's 15.9 and Smith's 13.6.
They set the school record of 113 points in a game against East Duplin and scored 100 points or more five times that season.
For their efforts, the Rebels will be recognized by the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame during induction ceremonies for the Class of 2012 at the Woodmen Community Center at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are available for the ceremony at The Free Press and the Woodmen Center.
There has never a basketball season for South Lenoir like the 1968-69 season — Salter said there were up to seven busloads of fans that traveled to every away game. If you wanted to see the Rebels in Deep Run, you had to be in the gym two hours before the varsity boys tipped off.
"We had a good group of young men playing on that team and an excellent coach who instilled fundamentals of game in us," Byrd said. "Mr. Salter is a fine man but an even better coach."
Smith, a 2010 inductee of the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame for his coaching and playing career at South Lenoir, said he "cherishes" his memories of that particular Rebels squad.
"Herman Davis was our leading scorer, but he was a blue-collar worker for us," said Smith, a four-sport star in his time at South Lenoir and a man who went on to coach the Blue Devils to nearly 1,000 victories in six separate sports. "John Byrd was only a junior, but he was the best shooter on the team. Larry Avery was quicker than anyone we played against at that time and Cobb Turner was the leaper on our team."
The Rebels believed in the run-and-gun offense — they simply out-ran and out-hustled their opponents every game.
"As far as hustle was concerned, (the Rebels) played a ballgame and a half when the other club was playing one game," Linwood Hartsell, then an assistant basketball coach for South Lenoir, told Jack Stephens of The Free Press in a season wrap-up article that was printed on March 11, 1969. Like Smith, Hartsell was inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
South Lenoir easily defeated archrival North Lenoir that season by more than 20 points in a game Smith remembers Salter refusing to come into the locker room at halftime because he was so disappointed in the Rebels' first-half performance.
That North Lenoir Buccaneers (as they were known in the 1960s) team went on to beat Grainger High School and legendary Red Devils/Kinston Vikings head coach Paul Jones by 18 points that season. Since South Lenoir was only a 2A team and Grainger/Kinston was a 4A squad, the Rebels (and later the Blue Devils) and Vikings didn't play for another 30 years until a Christmas tournament at Lenoir Community College in the late 1990s.
"We considered ourselves the county champions that year," Smith said with a laugh.
Byrd agreed with Smith's assessment.
"I kind of wish we could've played (Grainger)," Byrd said. "It would've been a lot of fun."
Salter said the 1968-69 Rebels were a model squad.
"Those young men averaged more than 20 wins a season, but never missed a practice and never complained," Salter said. "If I told them to run one mile, they'd run two miles.
"They're as fine a group of young men as I was ever around."
After sprinting to a 25-0 record, including two regular season victories and a conference tournament championship against Carr's WRH squad, the Rebels and Bulldogs faced off for a fourth and final time in a district tournament championship game in Jacksonville.
Carr missed his first three shots before connecting on 17 straight from the field to lead the Bulldogs to an 83-69 win against the Rebels.
"We couldn't figure out a way to get past them the first three times," Carr recalled. "But while they won the first three battles, we eventually won the war."
One factor against South Lenoir was that the last three games against WRH were played in a 10-day period.
"Playing them three times in that short of a period was tough," Smith said. "I couldn't jump higher than M.L., I could only try to block him out but I held him to 39 points."
Carr had a gentle reminder for Smith.
"Tell Jimmy it was only 38 points," Carr said with a laugh. "It took everything we could muster to beat that team."
Byrd recalled the officiating was different than the previous three meetings.
"It was a loosely called game and evidently just wasn't our time," Byrd said. "The law of averages simply caught up with us."
Despite the ending to the dream season, it remains the best basketball season in South Lenoir High School history — and sets up a date with the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"Please tell them congratulations on their recognition," Carr said on Tuesday. "They're definitely worthy of being in the Hall of Fame."

Top Picks For Alternative Transportation in Europe: Off the Eurail Trail
The classic way to travel around Europe is by rail, using a Eurailpass. But sleeping on trains in Western Europe is not for everyone. Leave Eurailing to the crowds and find yourself a nice, out of the way slice of the old country, by
Hop the Bus
Short on time but want to get from the UK to Europe without breaking the bank? Try one of the new low-cost European airlines. Go, EasyJet, Ryanair, and Buzz fly from small UK airports to many European destinations. Some of them encourage online booking and ticketless travel. Easyjet has its own Internet-only discount car rental service. Some companies are offering $99 flights around Europe this summer!
Non-Eurail Passes
Just because you don't want to Eurail doesn't mean you don't want to travel by train. Many Western European countries, as well as Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the Balkans, have their own individual railpasses. The European East Pass covers Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland in addition to Austria and the Czech Republic.
Or you can forget about passes altogether and take a slow train through Bohemia, enjoying the Czech countryside en route to Karlsbad.
For more information on railpasses, see the GoNOMAD MINI GUIDE TO RAILPASSES
Heading through the Greek isles, the Mediterranean coast or down Ireland's Shannon River? Rent your own sailboat or motorboat and cruise at your own pace. Boat rentals can be bareboat or crewed, so you don't have to be an old salt to rent one.
For more information on self-cruising Ireland, see WHISKEY AND WATER.
A bike tour truly gets you out into untouristed Europe. You'll stop in towns too small to merit public transport. France' Loire Valley is popular with bicyclists, as is Austria's Donauradweg trail and much of the Netherlands.
For great deals, check out the various fly-drive packages offered by airlines and tour companies. Ireland's Fly/Drives are famous and also include vouchers for lodgings!
In Europe, remember that fuel costs more, some countries are left-hand drive, and you need to request an automatic transmission in advance. Spain and Hungary require international driver's licenses, and each country has its own safety requirements.
For more information on driving, renting and leasing in Europe, see Rick Steves' GoNOMAD MINI GUIDE TO DRIVING EUROPE
Escorted and unescorted motorcycle tours combine the off the beaten path access of having your own vehicle with power. Ride through the UK, the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, or Liechtenstein. Just make sure you have an international driver's license with motorcycle endorsement before you leave home, as Spain and Hungary require it.

The three-wheel-robot looks nice! But the metal is not so convincing. Polish it. And a stronger yellow and strong blue will give a better effect. And switch the colour in the rusty/damaged parts to other then blue, but brown or the like with some light edges. And make he whole piece clearer - take a way the blur. Plus give it some shadow, especially on the wheels. The lights on the arms should reflect light on the metal edges, not just a round circle.
Keep it up!
May 30th, 2008 #109
tnx for the comment joaKimArt, the robot paint was more of a quick visualisation which i didnt want to spend to much time on because of all the work that was still ahead.

Thanks for checkin' out my SB.
First of all, you're doing the right types of drawing, which is really important.
Although, more observational drawing from life would be good.
It doesn't have to anything fancy, draw anything and everything, not only are you adding to your visual vocabulary, it's just always training your hand eye coordination.
I think something you should try is blind contour drawing.
Sit down, pick an object and draw it without looking at the page.
This exercise really trains you to see and draw things as how they are, rather than the preconceived image in your head.
Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. You're on the right track.

I ordered this to coordinate with our Thule roof and bike racks. Great quality, good price and convenient in keeping dirty wheels out of the trunk.

Comments about Thule 593 Wheel-On Wheel Carrier:
I used to keep my front wheel in the back of the trunk and it does get dirty after a muddy ride. I invested on the Thule 593 Wheel-On Wheel Carrier so it can my front wheel on the roof. Easy to install and also to mount the wheel. Sometimes it rattles when I go on bumpy road but otherwise, it is secure and safe. It is also cheaper to buy from Jenson USA.

Article III of the Louisiana Constitution establishes when the Louisiana State Legislature, of which the Senate is a part, is to be in session. Section 2 of Article III states that, in even-numbered years, the Legislature shall convene on the last Monday in March and meet for no more than sixty legislative days during a period of eighty-five calendar days. In odd-numbered years, the Legislature is to convene on the last Monday in April and meet for no more than forty-five legislative days during a period of sixty calendar days. During regular sessions in odd-numbered years, the Legislature can only consider measures regarding the state budget, revenues, and appropriations.
Section 2 of Article III also allows the Legislature to be called into a special session by the Governor of Louisiana or by a majority of the members of each legislative house. During special sessions, the Legislature can only legislate on matters related to the proclaimed purposes of the session.
Section 2 of Article III also authorizes the Governor of Louisiana to call an emergency session without prior notice in the event of a public emergency.
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Senate will be in session from March 12 through June 4.
- See also: Dates of 2011 state legislative sessions
In 2011, the Senate was in regular session from April 25 through June 23. The Legislature was in a special session regarding the census and redistricting from March 20-April 15. [3]
- See also: Dates of 2010 state legislative sessions
In 2010, the Senate was in session from March 29th to June 21st. [4]
Louisiana is one of only four states that hold state elections in odd-numbered years. Clerk of the Louisiana House Alfred "Butch Speer explains why:
For scores of years we conducted our party primaries in the winter of the odd numbered years, with any necessary 2d primary held in January. Because Republican voter registration was so miniscule from 1877 until 1980, the general elections were mere irritants to the Democrat primary victor. Once we scrapped the partisan primary system [1975] we set the entire system up to run in the fall of the odd numbered year, our traditional election season.[5]
- See also: Louisiana State Senate elections, 2011
Primary elections for the office of Louisiana's state senators were held in Louisiana on October 22, 2011, with necessary runoffs on November 19, 2011.
As of the 2000 Census, each of Louisiana's 39 state senators represents an average population of 1114,589 people. In 2007, the candidates for state senate raised a total of $18,266,324 in campaign contributions.

- Must be 18 years of age or older[7].
- Must be a resident of the district they seek to hold office to for a minimum of two years[7].
- Must not have served more than two and one half terms previously in office. This is for any candidate who has held office in the past after January 8, 1996[8].

| How Vacancies are filled in State Legislatures
If there is a vacancy in the Senate, the vacant seat must be filled by a special election. An election is required if there is six months or more left in the unexpired term. The Senate President must call for an election no later than 10 days after the vacancy happened. The Senate President must determine the dates for the election along with all filing deadlines. The person elected to the seat serves for the remainder of the unexpired term[10].
Term limits
- See also: State legislatures with term limits
The Louisiana legislature is one of 15 state legislatures with term limits. Of the 15 states, it is the only state where term limits were imposed by the state's legislators, rather than through the ballot initiative process. Under Louisiana's term limits, state senators can serve no more than three 4-year terms in the senate.[11]
The state's term limits law was enacted in 1995. The first year that the term limits enacted in 1995 impacted the ability of incumbents to run for office was in 2007.[12]
- See also: Redistricting in Louisiana
In Louisiana, the state legislature has control over the redistricting process. The redistricted maps are introduced as bills in the Senate and the House, and can be vetoed by the governor for any reason. Louisiana faces special scrutiny under the Voting Rights Act as a state with a history of using district lines as tools of racial discrimination, so all maps must be reviewed and preapproved by the U.S. Department of Justice before use.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Louisiana had the third-slowest growth rate of any state in the nation between 2000 and 2010. only Rhode island and Michigan experienced smaller positive population gains during this time period (notably, Michigan experienced an overall decrease in population). Louisiana grew 1.4 percent from 2000 to 2010, with a total population rise from 4.47 million in 2000 to 4.53 million in 2010. Notably the South as a region experienced overall growth of 14.29 percent.[13][14] Hurricane Katrina's impact caused enough people to move out of state to cost Louisiana a Congressional District. The population shifts also substantially affected state legislative districts, including the largely African-American city of New Orleans.[15]
During the redistricting process, Louisiana legislators faced a compressed timeline compared to other states. The odd year elections meant that the 2011 elections in the fall would need districts soon enough to get clearance from the Department of Justice per the Voting Rights Act, allow candidates to file in the appropriate districts, and leave time for the Blanket primary and the general election to happen in early November 2011.
The State Senate added two new majority-minority district for the 2011 elections, but took away seats from the New Orleans area overall, reflecting the loss of population in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The new Senate map has 11 majority-minority districts.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University softball team had a pair of great pitching performances, but Ohio used a couple of last inning rallies to sweep a doubleheader on Friday. The Bobcats took the opener, 1-0, in nine innings. They then scored four runs in the top of the seventh to earn a 4-3 victory in the nightcap. The RedHawks fall to 17-22 overall and 5-7 in the Mid-American Conference. Ohio is 25-17 overall and 10-2 in the MAC.
The opener was a pitcher's duel between Miami starting pitcher senior Paige Myers and the Bobcats' Savannah Jo Dorsey. They kept trading zeroes as Myers held Ohio to only one hit through the first five innings. She was helped by some great defensive work, as senior second baseman Kristy Arbour and junior shortstop Kylie McChesney each made great stabs on tricky-hop ground balls.
Ohio led off the top of the sixth with a double and a single to put runners on first and third with no one out. Sophomore pitcher Jenna Modic came in and got a pair of groundouts and a strikeout to get the 'Hawks out of the jam. Meanwhile, while junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb just missed a home run as she hit a double off the top of the wall in the bottom of the sixth, Dorsey continued to keep Miami off the board.
Modic struck out the first two batters in the top of the ninth for the RedHawks. A pair of defensive miscues allowed Ohio to strike first with what would prove to be the game's only run. Dorsey retired Miami in order in the bottom of the ninth to finish off the 1-0 win.
Lipscomb finished 2-for-4 in the opener. Myers allowed three hits and struck out three in five innings pitched. Modic allowed only one unearned run and struck out four in four innings pitched.
Dorsey continued to pitch for the Bobcats in the nightcap, and the RedHawks were finally able to get to her in the bottom of the second. Lipscomb led off with a walk. One batter later, McChesney reached on a bunt single, moving Lipscomb to second. A sacrifice bunt by junior third baseman Remy Edwards moved the runners up a base. Junior first baseman Shanyn McIntyre followed with a chopper that went over Dorsey's head and allowed Lipscomb to score.
In the bottom of the third, a double by Lipscomb scored senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter. Miami made it 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth when a single by sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey brought home McIntyre.
Meanwhile, sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann was nearly unhittable during the first six innings for the 'Hawks. She allowed only two hits and did not let a runner reach past first. She struck out six.
After being kept at bay for 15 innings by Miami pitching, Ohio finally was able to get its offense going in the top of the seventh. A pair of singles, followed by a three-run home run by Adrienne Gebele tied the score at three. A walk and a single, followed by an error allowed another run to score and gave the Bobcats a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. After being pulled in the fifth inning, Dorsey returned to retire the RedHawks in order to finish off the save for Ohio.
Shuey was 2-for-4 with one RBI in the nightcap. McIntyre finished 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored.
Miami returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Akron for a single game beginning at 2 p.m.

Known for ghosts, goblins and the undead, Halloween is one of the spookier nights of the year, but it wasn't always like that.
According to History.com, Halloween is believed to have its origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.
In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III set aside Nov. 1 as a day to honor saints and martyrs on what was known as All Saints Day. The evening before was known as All Hallows' Eve and later became Halloween.
Halloween started to become popular in the U.S. during the middle of the 19th century, due to an influx of Irish immigrants. Americans began to borrow from English and Irish traditions, and an early version of trick-or-treating emerged, where people dressed up in costumes and went door-to-door asking for food or money.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween became more of a community based secular event with parades and town-wide parties becoming popular. By the 1950s, the holiday began to resemble what we have today, with trick-or-treating becoming a way for communities to gather together.
Today, Halloween is the second largest commercial holiday of the year in the U.S., with Americans spending an estimated $6 billion each year.
Trick or treating
For many residents, Halloween is a time to dress up and go trick-or-treating with their families.
Kinston brothers Keanthony Pridgen, 13, and Kemaun Pridgen, 9, said they are looking forward to getting candy and spending time together.
"It's guy's night out," Kemaun said
Keanthony said his favorite candies to gather usually involve chocolate.
"I hope I can get a lot of Snickers, Kit Kats, Twix and pretty much any kind of chocolate," Keanthony said.
Kemaun said he plans to dress up as the grim reaper, and hopes his costume will have an effect on fellow trick-or-treaters
"I want to scare people," Kemaun said.
Brooklyn Payne, 6, of Kinston, said she is going to dress up as a pink witch and is excited about socializing at Bethel Free Will Baptist Church's trunk-or-treat on Halloween night.
"I'm glad I get to be with my friends," Payne said.
Ian Matthews of Kinston said he is going to take his four kids, ages 2, 6, 9 and 10 trick-or-treating.
"We are going to have a good time going out as a family," Matthews said.
For those looking for an alternative to trick-or-treating, many local churches are hosting family fun nights.
Ryan Vernon, pastor of 902 Church in Kinston, said from 5:30-7:30 on Thursday, his church will offer a variety of carnival games and a hot dog dinner free to the public. He also said there will be an opportunity for kids to go trunk-or-treating in the parking lot, where church members will be handing out candy.
"It's a more family-friendly fun environment, as opposed to traditional Halloween with scary costumes," Vernon said.
Scary Activities
Keeping in the spirit of the season, the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ghost walk on Thursday and Saturday. Citizens were able to hear stories of apparitions and sightings as they toured Kinston's historic downtown district.
Jan Parson, director of special projects at the Chamber of Commerce said groups were led by guides dressed in character as former Kinston historical figures. The guides led groups to nine different stops, and heard different stories along the way.
"Attendees were able to see very realistic reenactments, tales of deadly disasters, eerie tragedies, heartbreaking betrayal and terrifying misfortune," Parson said.
In Hookerton, the Hookerton Volunteer Fire Department has set up a haunted house for people looking for a real scare.
Tyler Shirley, deputy chief for the fire department, said the tour, which costs $8 apiece for admission, has 13 skits set up in different rooms. He said not everyone who goes in is able to make it through the whole tour, but overall, there has been a favorable response.
"They love it," Shirley said. "A lot of people come back through a second time.
The haunted house will be open tonight and Thursday at 7 p.m.

CARSON, Calif. – A.J. DeLaGarza may not have been called up for the U.S. national team's World Cup Qualifier against Honduras, but the LA Galaxy centerback is making the most of his opportunities at the club level.
DeLaGarza started Tuesday's 3-0 preseason victory over the USL Pro's Los Angeles Blues and went a total of 60 minutes in the win. During the match, DeLaGarza provided a vocal presence in the back alongside Tommy Meyer in the first and Leonardo in the second as he organized a Galaxy back four that overpowered the third division side's offense.
After the club's well-documented disappointing start to the season in 2012, DeLaGarza admits that there is "a lot of improvement from last year already" in just two preseason matches.
But how does the defender feel about his own level since returning from International duty?
"I feel good," DeLaGarza told reporters on Tuesday. "My confidence was high in camp and I thought I did pretty well. To not get called in, [for the Honduras World Cup Qualifier] obviously, my confidence was a little down, but now I'm back here and I'm making the most of my opportunity. I'm trying to get back in where I was fitness wise like everyone else."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy picked up their second victory of the preseason on Tuesday with a 3-0 win over USLPRO side Los Angeles Blues.
The scoring began in the 4th minute when a cross by Rafael Garcia set up an own goal by Blues midfielder Gabbi Gonzalez. Robbie Keane slotted a turnover in the box in the 15th minute before Jose Villarreal ended the scoring in the 76th minute while LA was down a man after Leonardo went down with cramp.
A few notes from the match...
The Galaxy started the match in the following formation:
*There were only two changes from last week's game against the U.S. Under-17's as Mike Magee moved into midfield for Gyasi Zardes while A.J. DeLaGarza started for Omar Gonzalez, who is away with the U.S. national team.
*Clark put together another strong performance on the left side as he showed an ability to link up with the likes of Keane and Zardes.
*The Galaxy first team held almost complete command of the match in the second half with the Blues only making a couple of forays out of their own half.
The Galaxy ran out the following lineup in the second half:
Sorto---DeLaGarza (Opare '60)---Leonardo (Inj in 72)----Gaul
*Paul Arriola put together another solid performance creating a couple of scoring chances, but was unable to find the back of the net. Arriola celebrated his 18th birthday on Tuesday.
*After starting goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini faced almost no action in the first half, Brian Perk made three saves as the Blues tried in vain to get on the board.
*The game was the first appearance for the Galaxy's second round draft pick Kofi Opare.
*Another strong game for Greg Cochrane, who was energetic down the left side. .
*LA played down a man for the last 18 minutes of the game after Leonardo suffered what Bruce Arena described as a cramp.
*There were two yellow cards in the match with Colin Clark picking up one in the 41st minute while Villarreal picked up one of his own in the 82nd.
*Following the match, Arena told reporters that first round pick Charlie Rugg is getting closer to returning to the field. Rugg himself told reporters that he's been dealing with a nagging groin injury.
*The Blues lineup for the match was as follows:
Carl Woszczynski; Matt Hall (Darryl Robson, 46; Dallas Moore, 71), Cory Miller (Adrian Dubois, 46), Erlys Garcia (Dutch Jock, 46), Jermano LoFuSang (Connor *Name not found*, 46); Jimmy Turner, 83); Gabriel Gonzalez (David Bakal, 46); Artur Aghasyan (Juan "Kichi" Perez, 46; Matthew Xiano, 71), Allan Russell (Georges Ba, 46), George Davis IV (Nelson Pizarro, 46), Deon McCauley (Sergio Del Valle, 24); Chris Cortez (Duran Davis, 33).
On Tuesday, the LA Galaxy announced the formation of an Academy Alliance with local clubs Redondo Beach-based South Bay Force (The team that produced Homegrown players Jose Villarreal, Oscar Sorto, and Gyasi Zardes) and Laguna Hills-based West Coast Futbol Club as well as adidas to identify and develop new players across Southern California.
Read more about the partnership here, but one of the things that I found most interesting about the development was the "LA Galaxy Player Pyramid."
Take a look at the structure of Galaxy palyer development below..
CARSON, Calif. – After three seasons of loans, Juninho is with the LA Galaxy for good and the tenacious Brazilian midfielder couldn't be happier.
The deal to bring Juninho from Brazilian club Sao Paulo on a permanent basis became official in mid-January after the Brazilian spent the past three seasons on loan. Juninho returned to Southern California from Brazil last Thursday and spoke to the media for the first time on Monday.
The move from Southern California to Brazil took some time, perhaps because it included Juninho's wife's Yorkshire terrier Julie, but now that it is over, Juninho admits that things are "perfect" in LA.
"[It was] easy because I didn't play [at Sao Paulo] too much," said Juninho, who is currently in the process of applying for a green card. "Here Bruce [Arena] gives me all the support and love here. I play a lot of minutes. I'm happy to be here."
Now that Juninho has arrived in Southern California, he is quickly looking to re-gain his fitness as he reported that he is currently at "70 percent" after the offseason, but expects to return to full fitness soon.
Although it was all smiles on Monday, Arena admits that the Galaxy entered the negotiations with Sao Paulo with some apprehension due to a few past experiences.
"We managed to do it in the first week of January. Our past experiences were it wasn't going to be easy but it turned out to be something that made sense for both club," said Arena. "We've always had a good relationship with them. We're happy for the player, we're happy for our club.
"Sao Paulo is a club with a lot of talented players, sometimes they can't keep everybody," Arena added. "We were fortunate to create a relationship where we were able to get Juni here."
With Juninho at The Home Depot Center for good, the Brazilian and the rest of the Galaxy can now focus on the task of going for an unprecedented third consecutive MLS Cup championship.
"It's a different year with different kinds of players," said Juninho. "I'll during the games. I think we'll be fine."
CARSON, Calif. -- Count LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena among those pleased that defender Omar Gonzalez was called into the U.S. national team set up for Wednesday's 2014 World Cup Qualifier against Honduras.
Gonzalez is currently with the U.S. during their brief training camp in Miami, FL before they travel to Honduras for the match in San Pedro Sula.
"It'll be a good opportunity for him. It's a little late, I think he should have been in that mix much earlier," said Arena. "And I'm hopeful that he gets some quick experience and eventually be a fixture for the team."
Gonzalez and the U.S. are in for a battle on Wednesday as they take on a tough Honduras team in the unfriendly confines of the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. Although a qualifier in Central America always creates challenges for any opponent, the former U.S. national team boss admits that the conditions have improved across the region.
"San Pedro Sula is a tough place, I've had a qualifier there," said Arena. "Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica is a little bit more under control now. I think in the early days, CONCACAF didn't have a handle on a lot of stuff in the qualifying. it was like the Wild West. It's a little bit more structured now and it's a safer more productive environment for the players, but it's all difficult."
A few short notes from practice...
*Bruce Arena addressed a rumor from the website Soccer By Ives stating that the LA Galaxy are interested in acquiring the rights of U.S. International Robbie Rogers, which were dealt from the Columbus Crew to the Chicago Fire in the swap that sent Dilly Duka to Chicago and Dominic Oduro to Columbus. Arena stated that he 'was not aware of that" particular rumor and the Galaxy "have not discussed acquiring Rogers' rights with anybody."
*Arena also mentioned that there should be a resolution on the status of Re-Entry selection William Hesmer by the end of the week.
*Monday is LA Galaxy media day and there will be more coverage on the blog later today.
On Sunday, it was revealed that former LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders is currently on trial with Real Salt Lake during their training camp in Irvine, Calif.
By virtue of offering Saunders a contract during the offseason, the Galaxy retained the rights to the two-time defending MLS Cup champion goalkeeper, but head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Monday that LA will not stand in Saunders' way when he finds a new club.
"Josh is no longer with the Galaxy," said Arena. "Whatever the technical issues are, we'll get that resolved. That's not going to be in Josh's way to move on to that team or another team in the league. We'll support a move for him anyway that we can."
Omar Gonzalez is off to Honduras.
The LA Galaxy defender drew rave reviews during the U.S. national team's January camp as well as during their scoreless draw with Canada last week, so it was no surprised that Gonzalez was added to head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's 24-man squad for the U.S.' World Cup Qualifier against Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Feb. 3. Gonzalez is one of just seven from the camp who earned a call-up joining Matt Besler, Brad Davis, Brad Evans, Eddie Johnson, Sean Johnson, and Graham Zusi.
The U.S. national team will train in Miami on Monday before flying to Central America to take on the Hondurans.
The complete roster as well as an interview with Klinsmann explaining the roster is below...
GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire)
DEFENDERS (9) : Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Augsburg)
MIDFIELDERS (8) : Michael Bradley (Roma), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Maurice Edu (Bursaspor ), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht ), Jose Torres (Tigres), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim ), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (4 ): Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)
Former LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders has turned in camp with Real Salt Lake for their camp in Irvine, Calif.
RSL's official website revealed that Saunders joined the camp on trial. Saunders is the fifth goalkeeper in camp with RSL, joining Nick Rimando, Jeff Attinella, Lalo Fernandez, and Mark Pais.
The Galaxy parted ways with the two-time defending MLS Cup winning goalkeeper during the offseason after Saunders accumulated a 1.33 Goals Against Average and 22-9-5 record in 36 appearances across all competitions in 2012.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy midfielder Hector Jimenez has made a name in MLS as a fleet-footed winger, and occasionally a right back, but on Friday, a late injury scratched pushed Jimenez into his old collegiate position—central midfield.
When Michael Stephens went down with an ankle injury on Thursday, the Galaxy opted to push Jimenez into central midfield for the second half of LA's 5-0 preseason victory over the U.S. Under-17 national team. Jimenez looked right at home as he provided a leadership presence in the midfield for a youthful group composed primarily of rookies and Homegrown players.
"We were short numbers so [Galaxy assistant coach] Curt [Onalfo] and the coaching staff decided to put me there. I've played there before so I felt comfortable because it my original position when I started playing soccer. I was probably one of the older guys on the field at that point. It felt good, I got a lot of touches on the ball and I took charge of the midfield."
The 24-year-old's tidy performance drew rave reviews from Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and may lead to a further look in the position in the future.
"I thought he did a good job. He played well, I think that's more of his natural position from his collegiate days and club ball, I know he's played as a central midfielder," said Arena. "We'll look at him in both positions…We needed to fill that position and I thought that Hector did a good job there."
Jimenez admits that the flank is his best chance to crack the Galaxy starting lineup particularly with LA's vast assortment of options in central midfield but he'd be pleased any position that allows him to be a regular contributor.
"It's my third year and in that year, you need to be more mature. Hopefully I can play well and contribute well this season," said Jimenez. "I just have to come out here and control the things that I can control which is practice well and show the coaches that I deserve to be here and hopefully by the time season comes along, I'll get some time."
CARSON, Calif. – When Mike Magee joined the LA Galaxy via a trade with the New York Red Bulls in 2009; he was just a young kid of 24. Four years later, Magee has blossomed grown up before all our very eyes.

DeVault Family Vineyards will be featuring 9 of their wines for tasting including 8 varieties that are entirely produced and bottled in Concord, VA. They will be showcasing their award winning Darien's Reserve, which is an aged, oaked Norton wine.
Sharon DeVault of the vineyard says "We are particularly proud of this variety, because of its rich roots in Virginia. The Norton grape is truly Virginia's grape. It was first introduced in 1820 by Dr. Daniel Norborne Norton in Richmond, Virginia. Around 1830, the Norton grape was introduced commercially and soon started to dominate wine production. This deep blue-purple grape was well known before prohibition and was even hailed as producing 'the best red wine of all nations' at a worldwide competition in Vienna around 1873. We are a family owned and operate winery, and our proud to be sharing the fruit of our labors with our neighbors and friends!"
Tasting fees will be $2.50 for Museum members and $5.00 for non-members.

Boggs' Hot Shooting Not Enough for Women's Basketball
November 30, 2013
BREVARD, N.C. - Despite a career-high 21 points from freshman guard Hollie Boggs, the Pfeiffer women's basketball team (1-6) couldn't overcome Brevard's (2-3) hot shooting in the first half, en route to a 79-69 loss on Saturday afternoon. The Tornados shot 60 percent from the field in the first half, including 54.5 percent from the long range. Boggs was excellent off the bench as she missed only one shot from the floor. She went 7-of-8 from the field and 5-of-6 from behind the arc despite playing the final 16:33 with four fouls. Shelby Wolfe paced Brevard with 22 points and 11 rebounds, one of five Tornados in double digit scoring.
Alexis Stallard recorded a career-high 18 points and Ariana Tillman had a terrific all-around performance with nine points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Carter Williams added 10 points for the Falcons who knocked down 10-of-16 shots from long range (62.5 percent). The 10 trifectas were a season high for the Falcons.
Brevard held a large advantage from the free throw line, outscoring the Falcons 21-9 from the charity stripe.
Despite connecting on 8-of-10 attempts from long distance in the first half, Pfeiffer faced a 47-36 deficit heading into the break. The Falcons struggled from inside the arc as they hit only four of 18 two point attempts in the half. Brevard pushed the lead to as much as 12 at the 4:37 mark before going into the locker room with an 11 point lead. Wolfe scored 16 of her 22 points in the first half and hauled down seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes.
Boggs' fifth three pointer of the contest cut the lead to 47-39 early in the second half, as Brevard misfired on their first seven attempts from the field. By the 12:38 mark, both Lauren White and Carlisha Holivay had fouled out, leaving the Falcons thin in the front court. A 7-0 run gave the Tornados a 62-47 lead with eight minutes to play, their largest lead of the day. The Falcons responded with six unanswered points, cutting the deficit to 62-54 with 6:52 remaining. Boggs missed her first field goal attempt of the game at the 3:28 mark, after connecting on her first seven shots. Stallard's layup with 1:15 left made the score 74-67 but Pfeiffer would draw no closer.
Pfeiffer's defense limited Brevard to 11-of-27 shooting (40 percent) from the field in the second half and held a 30-29 advantage on the boards despite the loss of Holivay and the 6'4" White.
The Falcons open up conference play on Wednesday at 5:30 as they travel to Mount Olive.

I was looking for some guides to start programming with, I'm a college student and I'm learning Ruby as my first language (Side-question, is that something good to start with?).
I found _Why's guide to Ruby and I also found Learn You Haskell (which is of course not Ruby) and I was curious if there were any more guides/books like these, free and fun to read? Just for future reads and to know about.
Will reading a book or guide actually teach me programming, do I just have to hop from one book to another until I understand the concepts because I feel like most books focus on theoretical stuff and I don't actually pick up much programming from them. Are there any "just do it" ways of learning programming? Like do I just sit here and start writing bad code until I get better or do I go out there and find some code and edit it? Because ultimately I want to write my own code but I want to see some good examples.
