National Health Interview Survey, 1991: Drug and Alcohol Use Supplement (ICPSR 6132)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Health Statistics
The purpose of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is to obtain information about the amount and distribution of illness, its effects in terms of disability and chronic impairments, and the kinds of health services people receive. This supplement includes variables from the core Person File (see NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1991 [ICPSR 6049]), including sex, age, race, marital status, veteran status, education, income, industry and occupation codes, and limits on activity. Variables unique to this supplement include respondents' use of alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, painkillers, inhalants, stimulants, heroin, hallucinogens, marijuana, and cocaine. Respondents were also asked if they ever used a controlled substance, how often they used it, when they last used it, and at what age they first used it. Questions about personal and legal problems due to drug and/or alcohol use were asked as well. In addition, respondents were queried about activities performed while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and if they had tried to cut down on the use of these substances.

Geographic Coverage: United States
Time Period:
- 1991
Date of Collection:
- 1991
Universe: Civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
Item nonresponse was handled differently than in many NHIS special topic questionnaires. Because the questionnaire was self-administered and "Don't know" was not listed as a valid response, all missing or out-of-range codes were combined into a single "unknown" category (code = 9).
Per agreement with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), ICPSR distributes the data file and technical documentation in this collection in their original form as prepared by NCHS.
Sample: The NHIS uses a stratified multistage probability sampling design. The NHIS Drug and Alcohol Use Supplement was given to all sample persons 18-44 years of age.
Data Source:
personal interviews, and self-enumerated questionnaires
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Original ICPSR Release: 1993-10-11

BEAUFORT — A small arsenal of guns covered the deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Smilax this week after a mission that seized a few pieces of history.
Five cannons were raised Monday from the Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck site at Beaufort Inlet, the most recovered at one time from the wreck considered to be Blackbeard's flagship.
"Today is definitely a red-letter day: five guns coming off the site," said David Moore, who has been a member of the QAR team since recovery efforts began.
The five concretion-covered cast iron cannons averaged about 2,000 pounds each and are among the largest of the guns recovered from the shipwreck site. They fired six-pound cannons and were used in defense of the Queen Anne's Revenge, which sank after running aground nearly 300 years ago.
The QAR team of researchers has identified nearly 30 cannons at the site, and the ship may have had as many as 40 heavy cannons on it when it sank.
With the five raised Monday, 22 cannons have been recovered from the site.
The recovery Monday was the last opportunity for bringing up the artifacts with this week's close of the 2013 fall dive expedition at the shipwreck site. For the heavy lifting, the crew of the Smilax stepped in to raise each cannon out of the water and onto its deck, where they were readied for transport to the QAR conservation lab in Greenville.
The Fort Macon-based Smilax is the oldest ship in Coast Guard service and holds the title of Queen of the Fleet.
Smilax Commanding Officer Scott McAloon said Monday's mission was a unique opportunity to see history recovered from the ocean and for the Coast Guard to partner with other agencies to accomplish the project.
"It's a great day for North Carolina and a great day for the Coast Guard to have this opportunity," he said.
For Kimberly Kenyon, who began working at the QAR lab as a conservator earlier this year, it was her first trip to see cannons raised from the site.
"It's exciting to be dealing with something so historic and significant. It's a big day for North Carolina," she said.
In addition to the cannons raised, two large concretions were raised Monday that include cask hoops and other artifacts.
Earlier in the fall dive, two smaller cannons were raised. Kenyon said several timbers, including a 7-foot piece of the ship, also were recovered.
As the fall dive came to a close, the QAR team remained optimistic that full recovery will be possible next year.
"We're going to continue excavating the site and have it completed by 2014," Project Director Billy Ray Morris said.
An extensive Queen Anne's Revenge exhibit can be seen at the N.C. Maritime Museum in Beaufort, the official repository for artifacts from the QAR site.

The Mann Center's Better World Theatre initiative, a collaboration between the center and the Samford Department of Theatre and Dance, allows students to explore ethical issues in their field of study by acting out scenarios they are likely to encounter in the professional world.
Produced, directed, and performed by students, these plays allow both the actors and the audience to gain a better understanding of the challenges they will face in their careers. Students are assessed on their ability to lead the audience in a discussion of the ethical issues identified in the play.
Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing student Cari Gelderman said of her experience: "Discussing ethics is challenging. It was helpful to practice listening to others with a different view and formulating my own positions on ethical issues now...Because it took place outside of our normal routine, I felt that Better World Theater allowed everyone, participants and audience alike, to embark on a journey together of authentic communication and dialogue about ethical issues that will undoubtedly arise in life…Better World Theater was a huge success!"

50 years later, JFK's death remains seared in memory
Associated Press
President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, are greeted by an enthusiastic crowd upon their arrival at Dallas Love Field on Nov. 22, 1963. Only a few hours later the president was assassinated while riding in an open-top limousine through the city.
Associated press
This photo of President John F. Kennedy riding in his motorcade through Dallas was taken approximately one minute before he was shot. Riding with Kennedy are Jacqueline Kennedy (right); Nellie Connally (left), and her husband, Texas Gov. John Connally.
Associated Press
The flag-draped casket of President John F. Kennedy lies in state in the East Room of the White House in Washington on Nov. 23, 1963.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Art Ruben holds The Everett Herald's final edition for Nov. 22, 1963, along with one of the original mats used to create the metal plates for the press. Ruben was working at The Herald the day President Kennedy was shot.
When an assassin's bullets struck down President John F. Kennedy a half-century ago, it was a loss of global magnitude. For Americans mourning a vibrant 46-year-old leader, it was also personal.
"It's hard to put it in today's context, and very hard to explain it to people who didn't experience it," William Prochnau said.
On Nov. 22, 1963, the former Everett man was a 26-year-old newspaper correspondent in Washington, D.C. He spent part of that darkest day with U.S. Sen. Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson, another son of Everett.
"It's not going to go away. Camelot will remain a legend -- even though it's pure myth -- for a millennium. With endless speculations about the assassination, it's Shakespearean," said Prochnau, 76, from his home in the nation's capital.
Dr. Sidney Schwab, 69, was inspired when President Kennedy visited his college shortly before the assassination in Dallas. A retired surgeon who lives in Everett, Schwab was at Amherst College in Massachusetts on Oct. 26, 1963.
That's the day Kennedy came for the groundbreaking of Amherst's Robert Frost Library. Frost, who had taught at Amherst, recited his poem "The Gift Outright" at Kennedy's 1961 inauguration.
Remembering Kennedy's campus visit, Schwab said, "There was that whole aura. He was young. He expressed big, big ideas."
Schwab watched as a Marine helicopter carrying Kennedy landed on the college athletic field. He heard the president speak at the convocation. Those were heady times for an idealistic college kid.
"That airy feeling of affirmation lasted well beyond his visit," Schwab said. "A couple weeks later, he was gone. It felt deeply personal, painful down to the soul, as if we'd lost a best friend and part of ourselves."
Prochnau, a 1955 Everett High School graduate, had been in Washington, D.C., less than a year on Nov. 22, 1963. He was a correspondent for The Seattle Times. A former Herald writer, he would go on to cover the Vietnam War, author the acclaimed book "Once Upon a Distant War," join The Washington Post staff, and become a contributing editor for Vanity Fair.
That day, Prochnau said, "I was with Scoop."
The U.S. House and Senate had adjourned. "It was the quietest I'd ever seen Washington. Everybody headed for home," Prochnau said. "Scoop didn't go home, and didn't close his office. His wife was in Everett."
Jackson, a Democrat, had served many years in the Senate and before that in the House with Kennedy. According to Prochnau, Jackson had been strongly considered as a vice presidential candidate in 1960.
Yet on that Friday, Jackson had little to say to a young reporter about the fallen president. "He was like all of us, a little dazed," Prochnau said. Instead, they went for a walk.
Jackson, he said, "spurned politely" any questions about what had just happened in Dallas. Prochnau remembers walking with Jackson to the Senate payroll office "to correct a small mistake in his paycheck."
Toward evening of that Nov. 22, Prochnau said, he had an experience that is stunning in retrospect. "I went down to the White House -- it shows how much easier things were to do back then. I just walked in," he said.
President Lyndon B. Johnson had been sworn in as president on Air Force One before it left Dallas. The plane returned to Andrews Air Force Base later in the day. "All the press was out at Andrews," Prochnau said.
In a story he also told in Vanity Fair in 2008, Prochnau said he instead went to the White House. He saw newspapers, extra editions reporting the assassination, strewn on the floor.
"There wasn't a soul there, not even an attendant. I heard a rustle in the East Room area. I figured it was probably the press. I turned the corner and walked in. There was this huge man walking straight toward me," he said.
It was Johnson, he said. The new president had a startled look and was accompanied by "no more than four Secret Service men." Prochnau remembers mumbling, "Mr. President."
"They brushed by me -- no strong-arm stuff," said Prochnau, who recalls Johnson being quickly hustled behind closed doors.
Prochnau's work took him to the Capitol rotunda that Sunday, Nov. 24, as Kennedy's body lay in state in a flag-draped casket. He was there for Kennedy's funeral Nov. 25, and took a bus with other reporters to Arlington National Cemetery, where Kennedy is buried.
"It was a very, very dramatic scene. And it was very cold," he said. "The guy playing taps missed a note. He probably hadn't missed a note in 20 years."
At 43, Everett Community College history instructor Jason Ripper is too young to remember any of it. A scholar of American history, he will talk about the Kennedy assassination and its far-reaching effects in a program at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Everett Public Library.
Ripper agrees with those who do remember that the country's loss was felt personally. The tragedy, he said, was heightened by the president's youth and energy, and "his beautiful wife and children."
In a country that rejected a monarchy, Ripper said, there is still "the cult of the presidency." With Kennedy that was "magnified by youth and mystique, and by an unbelievably tragic murder," he said.
For Ripper, the public's never-ending interest in the Kennedys is a two-part phenomenon. First is the fascination with the Camelot image. There is also a perpetual "sense that something strange and dangerous must be behind all of this," Ripper said. He doubts a definitive answer will ever surface to quench the curiosity of conspiracy theorists.
Ripper believes the assassination itself warped reality. "Kennedy was barely elected. His policies were not popular with a lot of people. Most of that was washed away in the grief," he said.
The assassination clearly altered history far beyond Nov. 22, 1963, both Prochnau and Ripper said. They pointed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as one change that came when it did because of Johnson's presidency.
"I'm not sure Kennedy would have gotten the Civil Rights Act passed. Johnson was a real man of the Congress," said Prochnau, who believes civil rights legislation would have eventually come, but likely not in Kennedy's time.
As for the Vietnam War, Prochnau doesn't think its course would have been vastly different had Kennedy lived. South Vietnam's president, Ngo Dinh Diem, was assassinated Nov. 2, 1963. "Vietnam was going to fall apart," Prochnau said.
Ripper said President Johnson "did escalate things" in Vietnam. "The Nixon presidency grew out of the ashes of Vietnam. In that sense, the big picture, it certainly made for a changed America," said Ripper, author of the two-volume "American Stories: Living American History," published in 2008.
In Everett on Nov. 22, 1963, Art Ruben was working at The Everett Herald as a "copy boy," mostly helping in the advertising department. He was also an Everett Junior College student.
"When word came about Kennedy's death, some members of the staff were stunned and crying," said Ruben, now 71. The news staff went to work. By the end of the day, about five editions of the paper were published, he said.
The next morning, Ruben went to the pressroom to get page mats used to create metal plates for the printing press. That was part of his job, which included retrieving ads to be reused for some clients. Those page mats -- a mix of paper and asbestos -- are relics of the hot-metal era of typesetting.
Ruben had the presence of mind to save two pieces of history -- mats impressed with the day's news used to create Page 1 editions on Nov. 22, 1963. He framed one for himself and gave the other to Larry Hanson, now a retired Herald publisher.
"It's a unique piece of history," Ruben said.
History has its shocking days. On Sept. 11, 2001, Prochnau was teaching a college class. The students, he said, "could not believe Pearl Harbor could possibly have been as big as 9/11." The impact of World War II was lost on them, he said.
"I think 9/11 was a terrible shock," Prochnau said. Yet as an emotional wallop, he thinks the Kennedy assassination "was bigger." It was personal.
"Maybe it's just my age then," Prochnau said. "The Kennedy assassination -- I just cried a lot."

I was curious how the abstract BuildSupport class is working that does all those great things for e.g. the SwingBuilder and AntBuilder.
So I wrote the following Groovy Test that exposes its behaviour:
The SpoofBuilder is a sample instance of the abstract BuilderSupport class that does nothing but logging how it was called, returning 'x' for each node.
The test sections call the SpoofBuilder in various ways and the log reveals what methods were called during the "Build".
This test allowed me to verify my assumption on how the builder pattern works here. I used this knowledge to write a specialized AntBuilder for
. This "MacroStepBuilder" allows using the Canoo WebTest "steps" (that walk through a webapp for testing) from Groovy Code. Groovy has now become a first-class citizen in the
When writing the above test I stumbled over a few things, here are two of them:
- I was not able to write a fully fledged subclass of GroovyTestCase with separate methods for the various tests. I couldn't find out how to make the SpoofBuilder an inner class of my TestCase. I would very much appreciate help on this.
- Coming from Ruby I expected the << operator on Strings to operate on the String itself (like it does on Lists) rather than giving back a modified copy. It appears to me that << on Strings and on Lists is not consistent. Same with the "+" operator.
What I especially appreciated:
- == on Lists is clear and compact
- display of evaluated expression when assert fails saves a lot of work when writing assertions. Most of the time you need no extra message.
keep up the good work!

In Groovy, as in Java, Strings are immutable. This makes interworking with Java code very easy. However it does mean that operations on Strings have to produce new instances rather than modifying the existing instance.
John Wilson
I understand you trade interoperability with Java for consistency inside Groovy. But there may be a solution...
to clarify my point:
There are lots of commonalities with String and List like
and even more like behaviour of the 'each' method.
works fine while
It seems to that the 'leftShift' method is expected to modify the receiver object but the implementation on String just doesn't allow that.
I would propose to remove (or deprecate) that method from String. One can still use the + operator to achieve the old result. And + is expected to leave the receiver object unchanged .
BTW: I very much like the Ruby notion of trailing ! chars in method names that modify the receiver (I understand that this is not possible for operators). So leftShift! would be a such a name.
After trolling the web and various books looking for examples of "how" to use BuilderSupport, I could find nothing to-the-point. Everything either missed the mark or was vague and overly-complicated. The idea in this post is simple and yet powerful (i.e., elegant): Log the calls to the Builder's various methods and see what happens. I duplicated and modified this approach, and finally was able to get a handle on "how" BuilderSupport actually works. In no time at all, I had a working Builder put together, building an object tree. Thanks for a very useful post!

The Obama administration's legacy over the past four years consists of major wins, missed opportunities and large scale busts. In the special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years, Federal News Radio evaluates 23 initiatives behind which the administration flexed its performance and management muscle. In our special week-long multimedia series, we review how well the administration was able to go from concept to strategy to implementation to success in the areas of management, technology, workforce and acquisition.
Administration recognizes quality of work depends on quality of workforce

In part 3 of Federal News Radio's special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years, we focus on seven of the administration's most important workforce initiatives. We rated four as effective (green), one as ineffective (red) and two as more progress needed (yellow). View the details of each initiative through our interactive dashboard.

The hard work to accomplish President Barack Obama's executive order intending to make the government more efficient, effective and accountable was given to the entire federal workforce.
They were asked to roll up their sleeves, lean in and get to it. Achievements in reducing backlogs in security clearances, attracting and keeping the best and brightest as civil servants and developing a trained cyber workforce are fruits of that labor.
In part 3 of Federal News Radio's special report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years, we focus on the direction the administration has given to the federal workforce.
Sometimes it's not the words you choose, but the actions you take to support those words. In November 2010, President Obama called federal workers "patriots who love their country."
Federal News Radio's Ruben Gomez reports on how unions rate the administration on its support of federal employees (article)
Then Office of Management and Budget deputy director for management Jeff Zients said, "Federal employees are hardworking and dedicated and essential in delivering services essential to the American people." Both comments came after the President announced a two-year pay freeze to all civilian employees.
The combination punch of a pay freeze and an increase in retirement contributions had a dramatic effect on the morale of the federal workforce. It took a nose dive.
The administration remained silent during the loud and ongoing debate on federal versus private-sector pay and during the numerous calls by Congress to leverage federal pay and benefits in the name of deficit reduction.
The impact from the administration's decisions left federal employees feeling out in the cold and leaving us to rate the President's support of federal employees ineffective.
David Snell, director of benefit services, National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, on the retirement backlog (interview)
At one point, a retired civil servant waited, on average, five months before they received their first annuity payment. Today, the Office of Personnel Management estimates by September 2013, it will have eliminated the backlog entirely. It would be able to process most new claims in 60 days.
But the growing backlog of retirement claims and the extended wait faced by retirees for full benefits has long plagued the agency. In late 2011, OPM Director John Berry announced he would bring in an expert to help with the backlog and named former Federal Aviation Administration Chief Information Officer David Bowen as OPM's new chief technology officer.

Now is the time to earn your degree. Our Phoenix™ Scholarship Reward Program can help make your dream of a better future a reality.
Once you complete your first 24 credit hours within 52 weeks in an undergraduate degree program, you'll start earning reduced tuition throughout the rest of your journey. Show us your commitment to graduate with your bachelor's degree, and we'll help you save as much as $10,000 along the way.

Here's how it works:
For an eligible student in an associate degree program, the minimum scholarship award is $104.17 per credit and the maximum total award is $3,750 for the degree program —provided the student meets and maintains scholarship eligibility throughout the degree program.

Students who successfully complete an associate degree program and continue on to a bachelor's degree program thereafter may continue to receive scholarship benefits if they meet and maintain eligibility requirements up to a maximum of $10,000 for the bachelor's degree program.
These amounts are based on a student entering the University with zero transfer credits. Actual maximum tuition reduction amounts may vary based on such factors as the total number of credit hours taken, education modality and campus location.

This product is not the same as the Revlon product for the early 90's. The original Xia Xiang was light pink in color and the bottle was different. So don't order this product thinking that it is the same as the original. I was disappointed.

I have been looking a long time for this! I wore it when I met my husband in the service and he was upset when I couldn't get it anymore. It was the only one he liked and it didn't make him sneeze! I am so happy that I can get it again...we've been together for 22 yrs and I would love to surprise him and see if it smells the same on me now. I haven't found anything that I liked, this makes me happy. Thank you!

I accidently found this wounderful fragrance in the 1990's. It is a sexy,mysterious,exotic fragrance. I always received comments on how wonderful it smelled on me. I was very dissappointed when I could not find this scent in stores any longer. I searched for other scents which might possibly compare, to no avail. Xia Xiang is one of the sexual scents and I'm so grateful to find the fragrance is still available on the internet. I will buy no other. Now that I have found my most precious scent again.

Career: INSEP (France-NF1/2, 2004-07), Arras Pays D'Artois (France-LFB, 2007-11), Bourges Basket (France-LFB, 2011-12), Nantes Reze (France-LFB, 2012-13)
It has been a roller-coaster journey with the senior national team for the talented Amant. She stepped out at the FIBA World Championship during 2010 and performed well, suggesting she could be a regular fixture due to her great rebounding skills and physical presence in the low post. Having been named as the French Young Player of the Year earlier in her career, it seemed like her destiny to cement her place in the rotation at the senior level. But, amidst fierce competition, she was edged out of reckoning due to a stacked French frontcourt. She was not helped by limited opportunities with Bourges during 2011-12, which perhaps cost her the chance of an Olympic place, but is now back to her vibrant best at Nantes Reze, where she has excelled both domestically and in EuroCup Women.

They came out great! The colors were exactly as our wedding colors and the picture added was wonderful!! My biggest fear was it would be off centered or blow up or mis coloration...

the magnets are wonderful and very inexpensive
The magnet designs are just what we need colors and all. They were made a shipped quick
I loved the idea of the magnet. Overall it was beautiful but I feel I should have picked the bigger one because the magnet was a little small.

Celebrity Prom Dresses
You will look like you are ready to walk the red carpet when wearing one of our gorgeous celebrity prom dresses! The headlines will scream "Stunning!" "Exquisite!" and "Breathtaking!" when the world gets a chance to check you out at the prom! Get your camera ready.
Here's Your Chance to Look Like a Celebrity
A number of celebrities have been seen in our prom dresses, why shouldn't you? We have made them attainable for young women from all walks and life – and we can't wait to get them into your possession! All you have to do is decide which design fits your inner-celebrity the best.
Is your alter ego a Hollywood actress who is coy and reserved in public? Perhaps a tangerine floor length dress with embroidered top and a layered, flowing bottom is the ideal prom dress for you. Or are you more of a rock star that can pull off a sheer red dress with a plunging V-neck? We've got that, too!
Whoever your inner celebrity may be, one of our Jovani celebrity dresses will help unleash her. Close your eyes and visualize yourself with dozens of paparazzi flashing their cameras at you. What are you wearing? It's in our catalogue, or, at something close to it.
Celebrity Prom Dresses And Gowns
Jovani has become a well-known fashion label, not only because of their beautiful and distinguished pieces, but also because of their numerous Jovani pieces that can be found on an endless number of celebrities. From top A-list musicians like Carrie Underwood to infamous reality stars like Kim Kardashian, the range of stars that have been spotted wearing Jovani prom dresses is large. From sparkly frocks to ultra mini prom dresses to dramatic ballgowns, Jovani has dressed celebrities for a variety of events and has pieces perfect for all women, not matter their style. When you are attending prom, look to Jovani to find the perfect garment to make you look and feel just like a celebrity!
For a more formal affair, look to stars for inspiration on what to wear such as infamous reality star Omarosa, famous young country singer Taylor Swift or American idol star Crystal Bowersox who have all worn formal floor length Jovani prom gowns to their formal events. From award shows to red carpet events, Jovani can be seen featured all over the limelight. When choosing your prom dress, why not turn to Taylor Swift for a head turning gown. Taylor Swift chose to wear a floor length tulle overlay strapless white gown while on tour performing. This stunning gown made Taylor Swift look like a princess and choosing a gown like this will make all women look and feel like princesses too! A floor length gown with a corset top, large A-line bottom and strapless is a beautiful and flattering silhouette in a gown to wear to prom. Play around with bold colors such as red, neutrals like beige or something class like black. The corset will ensure your gown stays in place and the a-line skirt makes your waist appear at its smallest. Choosing this gown is white is an angelic look, but a gown with this silhouette in any color from black to pink will be beautiful.
If for your prom gown you choose to have a less formal look, look to stars like Kim Kardashian, Audrina Patridge or Carrie Underwood who have worn beautiful Jovani mini-gowns to their events. As Kim Kardashian is ultra glamorous, she wore an exquisite and fabulous fully beaded embroidered tunic-like gown to her event. To look flashy to your event, replicate Kim K's look. Jovani's signature beading makes their gowns over the top stunning and the intricate detailing makes these gowns an investment to have for a lifetime. Wearing a beautiful detailed Jovani gown is a piece you can wear time and time again and you will always feel exquisite in. Carrie Underwood follows in Kim Kardashian's footsteps by also choosing an ultra flashy mini gown. Carrie Underwood's gown includes multicolor beading embroidery throughout the piece as well as a beautiful large broach in the middle of the bust. A look like this is very flattering and fun. Wearing a bright mini gown ensures you will be the life of the party and noticed by everyone! Jovani's beautiful detailing and styling makes even short dresses as beautiful as long formal gowns. In Jovani, even in a shorter gown you will look stunning and feel confident.

GRAHAM — Chip Turner says the city is headed in the right direction and has a city council focused on the right things.
Turner wants to stay a part of it in a second council term, "to give back to the town that has given so much to me," Turner said, "I've been here all my life."
Graham has a good city council, Turner says, because no one has an agenda other than serving the city and its people.
The council and city staff, Turner says, has kept Graham is in good financial shape and has avoided raising taxes even through a tough financial time.
The city has a strong infrastructure and a good water supply, Turner says, and it would help the city to get more houses to buy that water.
"There's always somebody coming to look," Turner said.
While more development would do a lot for the city, Turner says, Graham is now in good shape.
There are a lot of good projects in the works for Graham, Turner says, like the potential Project Swordfish and the Oneida Mills redevelopment.
Turner says he can play a role in seeing them through with, "my vote with the rest of the council," Turner said. "We have good city staff also a police department and fire department."
Voters need to know, "that I work hard, that I'm available, that I'm approachable and that I'll work hard for my city."
"That's what people expect."
Turner says he knows he, and the rest of the council, has been criticized for turning down the three-story apartment building off N.C. 54 and Woody Drive in August. The $11 million project looked like it could bring an economic bump to the city, but people living in the area overwhelmingly told the council they were against it.
"There were too many unknowns," Turner said. "There were too many residents that were against it and fearful of the unknown."
While there was criticism, there were also a lot of people happy the council turned it down.
"I'm just doing what I feel like the people want me to do," Turner said. "Knowing you're not going to please everyone you try to please as many as you can."
Name: Brice "Chip" Caldwell Turner II
Age: 61
Family: Daughter Kelley Turner lives in Graham and one granddaughter.
Education: Graham High School class of 1970, studied business at Alamance Community College.
Work: Retired from the North Carolina Department of Transportation after 30 years.
Politics: Elected to Graham City Council in 2009.
Political hero: Jack O'Kelley a county commissioner in the 1970s and Turner's principal, "He taught values and believed in voting for the right thing."

An unidentified Arizona Corrections Officer adjusts the straps on the gurney used for lethal injections at the Florence Death House at the Arizona State Prison at Florence (Ariz.) in this undated photo provided by the Arizona Department of Corrections.
An Arizona execution took nearly two hours on Wednesday, and witnesses said the inmate gasped and snorted for well over an hour after the lethal injection.
The execution of double-murderer Joseph Wood — which Arizona carried out with a two-drug combination it had never before tried — is certain to fan the debate over how U.S. states carry out the death penalty.
"I've never witnessed an execution that took that long," Wood's federal public defender, Dale Baich, told NBC News. "The state of Arizona today conducted a failed experiment. ... It was horrible to watch."
Media witnesses said the execution — which followed a botched lethal-injection in Oklahoma, and a protracted one in Ohio using the same drugs — began as expected with doctors inserting the IVs into Wood's veins.
The witnesses said Wood, 55, thanked Jesus as his savior and delivered these final words:
"I take comfort knowing today my pain stops, and I said a prayer that on this or any other day you may find peace in all of your hearts, and may God forgive you all."
"At a certain point you wondered if he ever was going to die"
Then, as the dose was administered, Wood closed his eyes and appeared sedated. But after a few minutes, witnesses said, they could see something was wrong.
"It was almost like snoring," Associated Press reporter Astrid Galvan said. "It looked like he was yawning almost."
Wood would go on to gasp more than 600 times over the course of an hour and 40 minutes, witnesses said. One witness likened it to the movements a fish makes when it's taken out of water.
"At a certain point you wondered if he ever was going to die," reporter Troy Hayden said.
The Department of Corrections said the medical team checked on Wood eight times and declared that he was "deeply sedated" or "comatose" and "never in pain or distress."
Midway through the execution, Baich filed papers asking a federal court to stop the execution and order prison officials to try to resuscitate Wood. But before the court could act, Wood was pronounced dead.
"The execution commenced at 1:52 p.m. at the Arizona State Prison Complex (ASPC) — Florence. He was pronounced dead at 3:49 p.m," a statement from Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said.
Baich said the execution clearly violated the Constitution's ban on cruel or unusual punishment and was an ordeal that "could have been prevented."
"The state of Arizona was on notice," he said. "They knew that Ohio had used these two drugs back in January and they had problems with that execution. Why they used the same two drugs for Mr. Wood's execution I don't know."
Baich said he had asked a judge to order that Wood's tissue and blood samples, along with labels from the drugs that were used, be preserved for further investigation.
Wood was condemned to die for the 1989 murder of his 29-year-old girlfriend, Debra Dietz, and her father. The victims' families said the focus should be on his crimes, not his death.
"I don't believe he was gasping for air. I don't believe he was suffering," said Dietz's sister, Jeannie Brown. "Who really suffered was my dad and my sister when they were killed."
Speaking to The Associated Press, Dietz's brother-in-law Richard Brown added: "This man conducted a horrifying murder and you guys are going, 'let's worry about the drugs. Why didn't they give him a bullet? Why didn't we give him Drano?"
Gov. Jan Brewer said she was "concerned" about the execution length and ordered a review but insisted Wood did not suffer "in stark comparison to the gruesome, vicious suffering that he inflicted on his two victims."
The ACLU called for a moratorium on executions until states can ensure that their lethal injections will work as intended.
"It's time for Arizona and the other states still using lethal injection to admit that this experiment with unreliable drugs is a failure," the group said in a statement. "Instead of hiding lethal injection under layers of foolish secrecy, these states need to show us where the drugs are come from. Until they can give assurances that the drugs will work as intended, they must stop future executions."
Wood had challenged the execution on the grounds that the state was violating the First Amendment by keeping the source of the lethal-injection drugs secret.
"This is something that should be be part of the public debate and not dealt with in secret," Baich said Wednesday.
An appeals panel agreed with him, but the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the stay of execution. The Arizona Supreme Court briefly delayed the execution on Wednesday morning, but ultimately gave the state the green light.
Wood was put to death with a combination of midazolam and hydromorphone, the same drugs used in Ohio's execution of Dennis McGuire, who seemed to struggle for air and took 25 minutes to die.
States have been trying new injection combinations and getting them from controversial compounding pharmacies — often under a shroud of secrecy — because manufacturers refuse to sell them to prison for executions.
Wood's execution date had been put on hold several times as the case wound its way through last-minute appeals. One of those decisions was notable for a dissent in which the chief judge of a federal appeals court said the guillotine would be better than lethal injection for executions.
Deborah Denno, professor of criminal law and criminal procedure at Fordham Law School, told The Associated Press it may be up to Legislatures or the public to bring any change. "I think every time one of these botches happens, it leads to questioning the death penalty even more," she said. "It will reach a point where the public will question the value of these execution procedures generally, and perhaps the death penalty itself."

Tonight on Dateline this is the direct quote from Sam:
"I know that the religious belief, the dogmatism, the faith is unnecessary. I know you don't need faith, you don't need to pretend to know things you don't know in order to investigate spiritual experience, or to have spiritual experience."
#1. Your argument contridicts itself. How can you "know" that what others "know" or pretend to "know" is not the same "knowledge" that you admonish yourself in having.
#2 If you do "know" this to be truth, what is your source, Doctor? Give me some scientific eveidence that "knowledge" is "factual" in the sense that what you or I "know" to be the truth is…
You are too loose in stating what true knowledge is.

I 4man it every week, it's just not doable with less imo. You need a healer for the final phase, and it's incredibly RnG as sometimes you get unlucky and can enter the final phase with >10 sanity or sometimes even go insane.
I play as blood with a Resto druid, pull the adds in to a corner and have him standing next to me to get healing aggro, taunt the adds off him and let the 2 dpsers stay on yogg. Could potentially 3man it in better gear with good RnG, I guess
Soloing will be an option once gear scales through the roof, on 25 with no keepers the adds will tear your ass open after there's about 8 up.

Please test your ideas before writing.
Tried onyxia, she got me after 1 min, bought 3 items 415, which led me to an average item level of 267, so NOTHING a quest geared 82 couldn't reach and got her, using defensive cds to survive p1 and p3 and having a bit hard time keeping up with adds on p2, so I don't see a reason why an expert player shouldn't be able to do this in 85 greens atm (I had 73k hp with this gear).
Survivability became INSANE after 5.0.4, even though the first onyxia kills were done by mionelol and raegwyn with tank gear at early cata, that doesn't mean it was not doable at lower level now, just had to try before saying it wasn't.
I'll link the armory of my second dk in case, but there's really nothing special aside from the fact that death siphon is OP pre-85 and should definitely be used in place of death pact, and as glyphs I used AMS and VB, the other glyph I had, unholy command, was not really useful for this. Also, between lichborne, purgatory and AMZ, I took lichborne, as on a physical fight like onyxia it's the only one you can find useful, and I personally needed it once on p1, once or twice on p3, and I also reforged all the excess hit and expertise to mastery and had 100% blood shield.
Fight lasted 26 mins and some sec, definitely challenging but possible, and the trash was much easier with 267 item level; with 220 item level I just had to use all cds and take them 1 by one, definitely not impossible to do if you have some soloing experience, I would also like to remember you were talking about level 85 quest gear, not 82.
2 screenshots about the trash at 220 item level:
4 screenshots about onyxia at 267 item level:

BT is really trivial now as frost as i've stated before in previous posts. Use army during 2nd phase head, interupt first spirit shock, Roll AMS when next is coming up, keep dpsing, drop AMZ as well as it mitigates quite a bit of the reflect dmg. Should be dead then, if not drop a strangulate when you're out of the spirit shock as it rotates through your ghouls. If you lose alot of hp, use death pact.
Everything else in BT is dps till dead. Use army on Council. Elementals won't enrage if you stand inbetween both glaives in the center.
Lil update for everyone: When going through naxx for pets, did everything but military + saph + kt as frost super easily, even patchy... forgot to kill all the trash as well and killed him and all the trash.. figured i was probably dead.. lol...
I find death strike to win really boring and find doing things as frost much more interesting...

So due to 5.1 and them saying they made all the bosses pre mop with quirky mechanics solo able I decided to try sun well on my dk. I've tw manned every thing and I was curious how the Kalecgos fight would play out now after the patch. they must not have done anything with that boss, I was never "ported" in to fight his better half and thus the fight bugged. Anyone else try the fight post 5.1?
With that said, is RQ/Coucil in BT any better? Someone go try LDW/Gunship too!

Almost forgot to showoff.
LK25 heroic try until berserker @ 81 DK. Why 81? Because i'm too lazy to do all things properly to survive , lvl 81 got more HP and more dps, but at 82 and higher all stats will slowly go down even in BiS gear. Yes, i did many tactic mistakes here; maybe if i would not kill shamblings , then slow and run away from them to avoid one-shot when stunned while being ported to Frostmourne room (to save them for another 40 sec LK phase) etc i would MAYBE get him to ~25% until berserker. Then rotate all CD's to survive soul reaper ( application and tick) and hope to not get hit by melee attack, then MAYBE it will be dead. But as i said im too lazy for all those wipes and tries, i already wiped on him (25hc) like 80 times on my 80 and 81 total and didnt want to lose more time on boring 10-15 min tries and deaths because of one tiny mistake.
Anyway- here is the try, 3x speed up, no music, clicking everything. Enjoy

Sorry if it has been asked/answered before, but are the twin emps/C'thun now easily doable at 90?
Is it just a case of doing around 25k dps(?) to out damage the heal on emperors?
Tried the gunship, adds still throw Burning Pitch if you're on the guns or on the other side but it's no longer an auto wipe if you man a gun
He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours, burn them all...
That'd make Gunship completely soloable, I remember managing to bring it down to 90% or so by killing every mob on their ship that can throw Burning Pitch, and then jumping into cannons and shooting only one quick shot before getting out of it (avoiding reset that way). Then at some point it resetted regardless.
If what you said is true then Gunship is absolutely 100% soloable now.
vvvvvv I guess the post right below mine 1 minute later confirms that, haha. grats!
I know this crap is getting boring but I'll call it anyway. WF Gunship in ICC solo!
Apparently they did change the encounter, now when you're alone and use the cannons encounter won't reset.
However, it's really hard, I barely made it with both ships dying at the same time and me alongside them but I still managed it. And that was 10 man normal.
I realise in time with more practise it will be easier but this fight is more skill then gear and it's hectic jumping over, shooting and throwing entire time which is short so you don't really have space for any mistakes. Adds spawning from portal unless killed immediately will start burning down your ship. And while you're fighting them canoneers from other side are shooting. Add into that jumping over every free second to kill the mage and you have yourself a really 'fun' fight, for me personaly in the ranks of soloing Firefighter. I'd love to see if anyone will be able to do this on 10 heroic or 25 mans

Confirmation, the gunship is soloable!
Did it in frost to use howling blast which deals with some of the riflemen, mounting the gun and going bat shit crazy with it, jumping over to deal with the sorcerors and killing the adds which board your ship.
Took a few tries and I sacraficed a few hits to my own ship in exchange for more damage on the cannon but all in all, it is now soloable!
He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours, burn them all...
Interesting, quite interesting. The only roadblock in ICC for me was damn gunship and now its doable, excellent! OT: I got myself a glaive

soggy inner soles
I bought a pair of these shoes from John Lewis Edinburgh in the Spring. On the first occasion they got wet, when washing my deck the leather inner sole detached from the cardboard base to the shoe. The cardboard then disintegrated so I used them when painting my boat. When returned to the usually reputable John Lewis they stated that they were not sold as "waterproof". I wonder what a boat shoe is if it cannot survive a wetting. These shoes do nothing for the reputation of either Sebago or John Lewis brands. The Sebago brand cannot be relied upon to guarantee a boat shoe. For about £75 I bought a pair of suede moccasins from M&S that are fine after a season. The construction of the latter is better in that the leather sides and the bottom are all one piece and there is no soluble fibre base.
Hi Soggy, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have been disappointed by one of our products. This particular style, as with many other brand boat shoes, is not made fully waterproof. Leather is a porous material and it will let in water if left untreated. If you did want to further proof these shoes, we would recommend using a waterproofing product such as Nixwax. Our Consumer team has sent you an email with some further advice - Sebago
How do you most use this product?:unusable for purpose.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
What I want to know is---where was the landlord?????? Who threw the guy out---no one heard the dogs barking---after someone moves out--a crew comes in to clean and paint----so who really is the culprit???
I think the key part of this whole thing is that they charged they charged him with a MISDEMEANOR. He should have been charged wwith a felony. Until the punishment matches the crime it will never stop.
I'm so happy for them both!
But cruelty is rampant in this world, towards animals, children, the elderly....and it is getting worse.
What bothers me is the penalty for these things. In my state, we fought long and hard -- standing with signs in front of our state house, countless letter writing campaigns, and we finally got it changed from a misdemeanor to a felony, which is as it should be.
I just wish these rotten individuals (I can't really call them people) would have nothing to do with animals.
My hat is always off to the ASPCA and other law enforcement people who work so tirelessly. I love convictions!
What I can't understand is the punishment.... why can't we have stricter punishments for sickos like this!!!!!?????? Misdemeanor?
Give me a break! Put him in a cell with no food and water for a week and see what happens! oh yeah right.... the bleeding hearts wouldn't stand for that, would they? I'm so glad these puppies are doing well, too bad they couldn't have been adopted together.
They should post his picture, as well as the other horrible people out there that make a choice to hurt or abuse animals, post the pictures in anywhere the public has access, like the hot lines they have for pediphiles...but expecially in shelters etc, so that they don't have an opportunity to hurt another animal.
the laws need to be changed pets are considered possessions like a chair. they need tougher laws he has no regard for life
There is no such thing as evil, it's called bad or corrupt DNA... And we should do everything in our power to let science fix that!
How can anyone be so cruel?! I rather starve myself to feed my doggies!
I will never understand why and/or how people can abandon their pets. My feeling, is that all people who are guilty of this, should be arrested, and sent to jail. Let them suffer like their pets suffered, and they should never again be permitted to have another pet in their life.
This happened a lot out here in Phoneix during the housing "crash." People would be evicted or go into foreclosure and leave their pets in the backyard or in the house and just leave the door cracked so they could get in and out. The worst is when they would do it during the summer months when our temps can reach the 120's. :( They would crack open a big bag of food, fill up some water bowls and take off. Thank goodness for attentive neighbors who assisted in rescuing some of these dogs, but it was usually a pretty sad deal.

Comments On Jan 13, 2015:Wheels appear to be well made and finished. Required judicious grinding on rear mud scraper and front caliper boss to allow adequate clearance. Not a major problem, but this wheel 4/110, 5+2 is listed for the 2014 viking. Customers should be advised that some modifications may be required for correct fit. Wheels and tires were received as scheduled. I would highly recommend this wheel/tire kit from Rocky Mtn!
