With swings in the winter weather from 60-degree days to forecasts of snowfall, community members have come to expect the unexpected.
Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative crews took advantage of the sunshine and mild temperatures Tuesday to perform some routine maintenance in the Emerald Isle area. Today could be a different story if overnight inclement weather leaves ice on power lines.
"It could be a whole new ball game," CCEC spokeswoman Lisa Taylor-Galizia said on Tuesday.
She said ice can be a particular problem during winter weather; and each time they go from mild weather to more severe winter weather conditions, it means switching manpower to downed lines response and away from other projects crews may be working on.
"When we get ice that brings down lines and it's all hands on deck," Taylor-Galizia said.
Steve Goodson, spokesman for Jones-Onslow Electric Cooperative, said the sudden drops in temperatures don't affect the equipment itself but the ice can play havoc on power lines if it builds up.
"We design our systems to be as efficient as possible 365 days of the year, whether it is 110 degrees or 10 degrees. It's engineered to the best abilities that it can be," he said. "With any type of severe weather, anything can happen."
For work crews, it is safety they consider when heading out into adverse and possibly hazardous weather conditions. For the consumer, the dramatic changes in the weather can mean changes in their utility bills, with costs going up as temperatures go down, he said.
Much of Eastern North Carolina was under a winter weather advisory Tuesday as a cold front approached. The National Weather Service office in Newport included Onslow and Carteret counties in a hazardous weather outlook, forecasting a slight accumulation of snow as temperatures dropped and rain moved in Tuesday evening.
While precipitation was expected to move out quickly, cold temperatures will settle in for the rest of the week after starting off with highs in the 60s Monday and Tuesday.
Today's highs will be around 30 and lows tonight and Thursday will drop into the teens.
It will be the kind of temperatures to keep folks inside — and that's OK for some.
Courtney Roberts, the assistant manager of the Michaelangelo's store in Swansboro, said when people prefer to stay home, they see an increase in pizza delivery orders.
"Bad weather brings us good business," she said.
As far as their drivers, she said, they take the weather conditions in stride. They are on the road as long as it's safe to do so.
"We make the best of it and tell our drivers to be careful because there can be black ice," she said.
As of Tuesday, weather conditions hadn't impacted flights to and from Albert J. Ellis Airport.
No flight cancellations had been announced Tuesday afternoon, said airport director Christopher White. He recommended those with plane tickets to stay in touch with the airlines to and as the unpredictable weather season continues.
"We may need to de-ice the planes before and after takeoff, but other than that we expect no major complications," White said. "People should remember that New England is going to be a mess so they need to be aware that their flights may change if they are flying in that vicinity."
For Marines in the field, weather conditions are part of training.
"For storage and or use of ammo in cold weather specifically, before we field items for use by the Marines these items are tested per military standards. For each system or type of ammo, temp ranges do vary and a lot of that has to do with the environment we expect the ammunition to see over its life cycle," said CWO3 Ronnie Henry, officer in charge of Ammunition Supply Point on Camp Lejeune. "…For short periods of field storage we will not see degradation of ammunition from the weather. Small arms will be safe in whatever weather we will expect over the next few days.
"There's a point where we are affected by weather but (Tuesday night) will not be one of those nights."
Personnel and students aboard Camp Lejeune and New River should expect a two-hour delay, which the base announced Tuesday afternoon. All essential personnel, according to Nat Fahy, the public affairs officer for Marine Corps Installations East, are required to report to work as earlier scheduled.
Onslow County Schools also announced Tuesday that all students and staff should prepare for a two-hour delay as well.
Flight operations aboard New River Air Station are expected to remain unchanged, according to Marine Maj. Joe Adams.
"There's more preparation that goes into an aircraft for cold weather conditions; but as far as the flight, it won't fly any differently or necessarily be any more dangerous," said Adams, an MV-22 Osprey pilot with MAG-26. "You want to make sure there are no snow or frozen precipitation on the aircraft itself. Ice inside the engines can affect performance. Once that work is done, it doesn't affect the aircraft that much unless you're flying into an icy condition."
Adams said that flying, landing and taking off in the snow is no more dangerous than driving a car in it as long as the proper pre-flight operations are conducted.
"In general, ground support Marines take care of the flight line making sure it's safe for us pilots," he said. "A good rule of thumb is that if it's not safe to take off, it's not safe to fly."

OXFORD, Ohio - After needing overtime and a shootout to decide its last two games, the No. 4 Miami hockey team left little undecided in regulation Saturday as the RedHawks controlled play from start to finish in a 2-0 victory over Michigan State at Steve Cady Arena. Miami (7-2-3, 4-2-2-2 CCHA) is now unbeaten in its last five games and is 6-0-1 against the Spartans (4-6-2, 3-4-1-0 CCHA) in the teams' last seven meetings.
Freshman goaltender Jay Williams backstopped Miami to the win, pitching his first career shutout with a 13-save effort. It was Miami's second shutout of the year, along with the season opener against Colgate. The RedHawks outshot MSU, 36-13, for the game with the 13 shots allowed the fewest Miami was given up all season.
"I think our effort from start to finish was there. We challenged our guys to play 60 minutes. I think that this was the closest we've been to that all year," Miami head coach Enrico Blasi said. "I thought our guys did a nice job of continuing to put on pressure. Guys were doing what we asked them to do."
The 'Hawks had a chance to take the lead early in the game on the power play as freshman Sean Kuraly was camped at the far post, but his redirection of a pass from classmate Riley Barber sailed high. Miami did score with 7:58 remaining in the opening period though when senior Curtis McKenzie redirected a shot just under the crossbar for his third goal of the year. Sophomore Austin Czarnik won an offensive zone faceoff back to Barber at the high slot, where he fired a shot that McKenzie deflected into the net.
After Miami earned a pair of power plays in the first frame, the Spartans garnered a pair of man advantages in the first five minutes of the second stanza, but the RedHawks killed both without allowing a shot on goal. Miami then received a five-minute power play midway through the middle period when Lee Reimer was given a game disqualification and a major for hitting from behind, but the 'Hawks were unable to capitalize and the game went to the final period a one-goal contest.
Neither team was able to generate much offense over the first 10 minutes of the third period. With eight minutes left, the Spartans had a 2-on-1 break after senior defenseman Steven Spinell fell down, but Williams was able to make a shoulder save on Brent Darnell to keep MSU off the board.
Sophomore Alex Wideman then sealed the game with an insurance goal with 3:45 remaining in the contest. Freshman defenseman Taylor Richart poked the poke free off a Spartan stick and Wideman gathered the puck in the neutral zone. He skated in hard and blasted a wicked wrister from just inside the blue line over MSU goaltender Jake Hildebrand's left shoulder for his fourth goal of the year. Richart earned his first collegiate point on the play while Wideman has now scored a goal in three straight games.
"I owe a lot to (Associate Head) Coach (Brent) Brekke. He helps me out in practice all the time. Even if it's a small drill, if he sees me not shooting the puck hard, he'll get on me," Wideman said. "Small things like that make a big difference. He's been helping me out with my one-timer and pre-game skate stuff as well."
The Spartans pulled Hildebrand in the final minute in favor of an extra attacker but Miami kept MSU from generating any scoring chances to close out the 2-0 victory. Hildebrand finished with 34 saves in defeat, including 16 in the first period. Neither team scored on the power play with the 'Hawks going 0-for-3 and the Spartans going 0-for-2 without even registering a shot on goal.
"It's important to win in regulation," Blasi said. "With this young team, you have to focus on one game at a time, which is hard to do sometimes, but we will continue to do that."
Miami, which sits in first place in the CCHA after this weekend, is off next weekend before making the long trek to take on Alaska Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1. Puck drop is 11:05 p.m. ET both nights (7:05 p.m. local).
"We got five of six points this weekend, which is big," said Wideman, who scored the shootout winner in Friday's 2-2 draw with MSU. "That gives us a lot of confidence as we are going into the break."

Vodka company tells Everett's Absolut Hair to rebrand or else
Dan Bates / The Herald
Jessee Skittrall enjoys a lighter moment with customer and fellow local businessman Ty Vo while he cuts Vo's hair.
Dan Bates / The Herald
In a shop that tends to get very busy, Jessee Skittrall (facing), owner of Absolut Hair in Everett, performs a foil job for Rebecca Elis.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Rebecca Elis (left) says she couldn't find anyone who could get her color right before her daughter discovered Absolut Hair's Jessee Skittrall online.
When the Federal Express truck pulled up, Skittrall might have thought a product delivery of shampoos, conditioners or the latest barrel hairbrushes had arrived.
Little did he know that his delivery contained papers from the Los Angeles office of international law firm McDermott, Will and Emery with an order that would affect his business and his staff.
"I was doing what I do every day," Skittrall said. "It was a huge shock."
Skittrall was told in no uncertain terms that Swedish vodka giant The Absolut Co. wanted him to change his salon's name because of trademark infringement, since his spelling of Absolut is the same as the alcohol brand's. The attorneys' letter clearly gave him no choice.
"It makes no sense," Skittrall said. "We are a neighborhood salon."
Lawyers working on behalf of Absolut Vodka have given Skittrall until Jan. 1 to make the name change. When called Aug. 16, they had no comment on the issue.
The experience has left Skittrall shaking his head. His business is a small, local outfit. How can he possibly fight an international company with vast resources behind it?
The Absolut Co., based in Stockholm, was purchased by Pernod Ricard of France in 2008. Absolut vodka is sold in more than 125 countries.
Absolut Hair, at 7439 Beverly Blvd., has 12 staff members paid by the hour. Skittrall bought the salon in 2009. The name, Absolut, came with the business, which was established in 1998.
Absolut Hair concierge Boo Brantley said the previous owner chose the name because it came first in the phone book.
"Now we don't use phone books," she said.
To Brantley and others at Absolut Hair, forcing the trademark infringement almost feels like a joke.
"Jessee has had a big career and has Internet presence," Brantley said. "But I can't imagine how shampoo and hair gel could do anything to them (Absolut vodka)."
Rebranding an established business is a huge cost to an entrepreneur. There's signage, stationery, a new website and other costs to consider.
"The reality is it's going to cost me to rebrand," Skittrall said. "It's about $20,000."
Skittrall volunteers his time through his philanthropy with 48 Hour Finishing School, a group that helps give job and life skills to young women leaving foster care. They also are treated to a new hairstyle at his salon. And Skittrall also cares about his employees.
"Jessee feels responsible for the lives and families behind these chairs," Brantley said, nodding toward stylists working on clients' hair. "He knows it will affect them and their families."
After the shock of receiving the letter and processing what it meant, Skittrall spoke to a lawyer at McDermott, Will and Emery, then weighed his options. He has been told that hiring a lawyer would cost him more than the $20,000 he'd still have to spend to rebrand his business if he lost the case.
But Skittrall's first concern is for his employees and clients, which has led him to focus on the positive side of what might be considered as a modern-day David versus Goliath battle.
The salon will hold a renaming contest on its Facebook page, Absolut Hair, after Sept. 1, where clients, friends and other local businesses have recently left comments. Others have called to offer funds, Skittrall said.
Rachel Chambers, hairstylist and makeup artist at Absolut Hair, has witnessed the kindness of clients and other local businesses.
"It's silly that such a big corporation would be threatened by us," Chambers said. "But there has been such a positive outpouring of love and support from people."
As well as customers calling to help, two other vodka companies have offered Skittrall supplies for the rebranding party that will take place after September.
"We will persevere. This is a minor bump in the road," Skittrall said. "We have a good team and you just gotta deal with stuff like this occasionally."

What Did Our Customers Say?
It came in the mail and i instantly opened it and put it on. The shirt is HIGH quality and the zippers on the shirt work. I wouldn't wear the pants cause they are like cheap suit pants. The cloak itself is amazing its really nice and feels high quality and the white lines are made of fake leather. the belt is OK, its made of fake leather as well but the buckle is metal. the chest piece and arm piece are made of PVC, there paint job is darker than it should be so I'm going to spray paint them silver later. the gloves are just a tad small but great. over all it is worth every penny and it shipped fast! i highly suggest this for any SAO fan!

Apple Product Lineup
Hi, I'd really like to switch over to Apple, but I just don't get Apple's product lineup. There's plenty of choice in it, but I'm unable to find 'my machine' there.
Don't get me wrong: I love the OS, but the hardware lineup is far from being balanced. Every product line has disadvantages and for the given price it's very difficult to justify a purchase. Even if I ignored the price I couldn't find the best machine.
I'd like to use it as my one-and-only computer. No or very limited gaming, much office work, much graphics work, some software development. The usual things that you'd do with a PC, though. Mobility is not important, but I could live with a notebook for daily work. Unfortunately nothing seems to fit my requirements.
Mac Mini - obviously the best value for its price. Limited upgradability (RAM, HDD), but built-in GPU. No buy. No BTO option for a dedicated GPU. Why ?
iMac - looks nice, but combines the disadvantages of a notebook (weak GPU) with the disadvantages of a desktop (no mobility). Weak upgradability makes it a no-buy given the price-tag. The BTO options are a joke, too. Either choose an obsolete magnetic drive or a 768GB SSD at - i'm afraid - an insane price. Why no 256GB SSD ?
Mac Pro - best fit for my needs, but obsolete hardware at an insane price. It's interesting that they still sell these dinosaurs.
Macbook Pro - nice notebook, but soldered RAM and non-upgradable SSD make it a clear no-buy.
Macbook Air - nice notebook (except for the display resolution) but again soldered RAM and SDD make it a no-buy.
I already own an iPad, an iPhone and some iPods. Love them.
I'm really confused now as I waited for over 6 months for the new iMac, and now they roll out a crippled notebook in a desktop chassis. It's understandable from a marketing point of view that Apple wants people to go the BTO way for higher profit, but still the available options make none of their products a 'perfect' machine.
Buying a new computer has never been that difficult for me. In former times I always knew what I wanted.

Hmm--I hate to say it but it seems like you are really not looking for an Apple product to replace your PC. As many would agree--for better or worse--Apple is very aggressive at finding ways to save space and weight--at the cost of upgradability. I don't ever upgrade components so it is not a problem for me and I am happy with how they have configured the components of my rMBP--but their solution is not for everyone. There are certainly products in the Apple lineup that would satisfy most of your needs--upgradability is not one of them for most newer products.
2012 rMPB, 2.3 Intel Core i7, 8GB Ram, 256 SSD; 2008 iMac, 24", 2GB, 500GB; Time Capsule 500GB (1st Gen); ATV3; ATV2; Airport Express; Black 64GB iPhone 4S; Black iPad Air, 32GB, wi-fi

fantastic user name.
Anyway, the standard 13" and 15" MBPs without Retina Display can be upgraded to 16 GB RAM for less than 100 € by yourself, and you can add any SSD for much less than Apple wants.

I don't want upgradability (in fact I prefer to NOT have upgradability, as I prefer everything to be soldered) but, however, I agree 100% with the OP:
Mac Mini: Almost perfect (with the 256GB SSD). But no discrete GPU. So sorry, no purchase.
iMac: No 256GB nor 512GB SSD, and I really want pure SSD. Also, it comes with builtin display, which is a non-Retina display, so it doesn't look like a long-time purchase. So, sorry, I cannot justify this purchase, both for the lack of 256/512 GB SSD, and for it having a builtin display.
Mac Pro: Really? Do you really mean that somebody how _just_ wants the same performance as a new Mac Mini but with discrete GPU really should look at the Mac Pro? Sorry, but I cannot justify it, so no purchase.
Conclusion: No purchase possible for current desktop Macs.
|Nov 4, 2012, 07:53 AM
You know that there are external GPUs that hook up to the Thunderbolt port like the Sonnet Echo Express Pro, right?

|Nov 4, 2012, 02:58 PM
If you already have a quality monitor, then I would go with the Mac Mini. You'll want to get an Apple keyboard, but you can probably use the mouse you already have if you really want to. It's the lowest cost of entry and would allow you to "try out" being a Mac user in the easiest way.
If you don't already have a good monitor, then go for the iMac. If you don't really want the 27" then you can get the smaller one for less cost.
Either way, I would consider the "fusion drive" to be the most desirable BTO upgrade. It will give you a better overall performance experience. I wouldn't worry about the Intel graphics since you said gaming isn't a priority for you. It's plenty powerful enough for web surfing and photo work.

Thanks a lot, mfram, but, at least in my case, such configuration doesn't meet my needs.
What I need is 4core i7 + 256GB SSD + Discrete GPU. I really want pure SSD (not fusion), and I really want a discrete GPU, so neither the Mac Mini (lack of discrete GPU) nor the iMac (lack of both 256 and 512 GB SSD) are an option.
(note that if the Thunderbolt external GPU had drivers for OSX, the Mac Mini would fit perfectly into my requirements)

You're expecting too much of the machine, that's your problem right there.
I have the base model 13" MacBook Pro. I use it for web surfing, reading, writing, web design, the entire Adobe Creative Suite CS6, Autodesk Maya (modeling/animation - It renders very, very quickly), Unity 3D, GarageBand, Eclipse/Xcode, and play the occasional game. I push my machine very, very, very hard on a daily basis and have no problems.
Does the machine crawl with so much work? Yes, but that's expected when I'm using the CPU at 100%. But I see a lot of people with the same machine doing the same things I'm doing with it.
And with the use you're describing, you're not going to have any issues. All of the Macs are great for those tasks.
I too agree that you should go for a non-retina MacBook Pro.

I just got a used 2011 17" hi-res anti glare MBP, 2.3ghz i7. I maxed out 16gb ram, took out optical drive so I have 256 and 512 SSDs in it now.
All said, I Spent Just under $2000. A comparably specced 15" rMBP is $3400, although they are thin and light and cool, the cost/benefit, in my case, swung the way of the 17".

At least unless somebody figures out how to unlock GPUs via Thunderbolt, as any other PCIe card works just fine.

If it's possible to do this in a successful way, I feel the Mac Mini would be the best choice for me in this moment.
Btw, if you add the size of the eGPU to the size of the Mini, you really realize what Apple needs in this moment: The Cube needs to be released again.
And, given Tim Cook excitement about the future 2013 Mac Pro, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a "Cube" form factor. Otherwise, if it comes with its current "dinosaur" form factor... what would make Tim Cook feel so excited about it?
|Nov 5, 2012, 07:26 AM
Thanx for all the replies to my question.
If I'd buy a Mac it'll most probably be a Mini as I can't stand the glossy display (even the new iMacs have that) and the design limitations of the iMac.
Anyway, I just don't get their product lineup. There's no "best" machine and all have their significant limitations. Limitations that no one would accept in the world of PCs where there's stiff competition and you wouldn't be able to sell products that are so limited.
Even inside the product lines the offer is way too unbalanced.
It's just that I love the OS.

Now, if you need to do lots of long and intense CPU work (like video encoding for your everyday work, or like gaming, or like renderings which take hours to complete), bigger desktops manage heat in a more convenient way: fans don't need to rotate at such a high speed, and the computer seems to be better suited for doing intense CPU work without affecting how many years your computer will last.
Which recalls what I said: Apple, bring the Cube back!!!
|Nov 5, 2012, 12:33 PM
Really, if I want a notebook I'll get another Thinkpad T-model. Half the price, durable, spares available everywhere, upgradable with a simple screwdriver, but unfortunately only available without Snow Leopard...

That being said, you bring up an excellent idea; I think the next Mac Pro will essentially be the true return of the Cube, albeit larger to accommodate for multiple PCIe cards and hard drives. Especially if Apple's stance on optical media is that it is no longer important and a lame duck feature on all of their Macs (which sadly seems to be the case since the only Macs that come with them feature lame duck designs).
I know very few full-sized laptops that come with Broadband. Actually I don't think I know of any, come to think of it. I've seen Netbooks and Ultrabooks with them, but nothing else. I think that's what MiFis, portable hotspots, and tethering is used for.
For the record though, ThinkPads are supposedly the easiest laptop to Hackintosh. As for Snow Leopard, while I still miss Rosetta, and while Lion made me really miss Snow Leopard otherwise, I haven't looked back since Mountain Lion.

This is the federal state of Hessen's annual celebration and Germany's oldest and largest regional fair. Always held in a different town, it presents the state, its regions and its towns through a week of events spanning arts and culture, customs, a range of music, exhibitions and speciality Hessian cuisine.
In 1961 the Hessentag was inaugurated by the then state premier Georg August Zinn, who said "A Hessian is anybody who wants to be a Hessian". His aims were noble – to bring together long-established citizens and immigrants, to give the many refugees and displaced people a flavour of their new home. Hessen itself had some catching up to do in terms of solidarity, for the state was only created in 1945 from areas that had had no links for centuries. Over time the Hessentag has changed, with new ideas and events being incorporated every year into this ten-day celebration of tradition and modernity. Now concerts by international bands are just as much part of the programme as the major regional exhibition, and every year the festival attracts over half a million visitors. In fact, the million mark was passed for the first time in Baunatal in 1999, and since 2011 Oberursel has held the record with around 1.4 million visitors. But one thing has not changed and will never change. The Hessentag brings people together to exchange ideas, broaden their horizons and have fun, which is what every successful festival should do.

Green building and construction does not need to stop with bamboo flooring. Bio-composites, or biodegradable composites, are the next generation of sustainable building materials. They combine plant fibers with natural resins and binders to make roof sheathing, fences, fireproof doors, and more. Traditional construction materials are energy- and resource-intensive. Buildings account for 40 percent of landfill waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Bio-composites and other sustainable building materials help eliminate non-renewable waste, reduce raw material usage, and cut fossil-fuel consumption.
Many bio-composites use recycled materials or fast-growing plant fibers. In turn, they are recyclable or are designed to rapidly decompose. Bio-composites typically use natural binding agents, reducing the need for petrochemicals or other fossil-fuel products. Even more fuel is saved in the transportation of lightweight, locally sourced bio-composites. Like other sustainable building materials, bio-composites also help builders and homeowners earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification. The stamp of approval for green building and construction, LEED-rated buildings may also qualify for rebates and tax credits.

Paarl Gym picked up a surprise 22-19 win over rivals Paarl Boys' in the major schoolboy derby on Saturday.
Boishaai were touted favourites heading into the class as the in-form Western Cape school this year. Gimmies' inconsistency this season also counted against them. But the latter surprised with a late three-pointer to secure the win as the sides were deadlocked at 19-19 in the second half at Faure Street. This is Paarl Boys' second defeat of the year while it's Paarl Gym's 15th win from 22 games.
In other results, Grey Bloem picked up two easy wins over Free State neighbours Sentraal (50-10) and Jim Fouche (49-21) this week. Affies eased past Pretoria Boys' for a 44-0 win in the Pretoria derby while Dale were sunk 31-19 by Selborne. Grey PE were given an upset 23-3 home defeat by Framesby.

You're not jumping the gun at all. He's a special talent.
So, I know it's only been 3 games, but Davis has been off the charts good so far. Now, some people might say this is too small of a sample size, and I would agree with that, but let's think for a second here.
Premise - Most rookies have a rough start to the season and get better as the season goes because they need time to adjust to the NBA. These are Davis' stats before he even got to "adjust," so in actuality, these stats should be lower than what he does for the rest of the season - works against him to do it this early. See where I'm going with this?
Anyway, I decided to use Advanced Metrics to compare the 5 players because it accounts for things like difference in minutes, pace of play, etc... I chose these 4 guys to compare Davis to because I think they are all similar players. Here are the guys I will be comparing him to in their rookie seasons: D. Howard, K. Garnett, D. Robinson, and T. Duncan:
Players/Categories PER TS% TRB% Stl% BLK% TOV% ORtg DRtg WS/48 K. Garnett - 19 15.8 0.522 13.1 1.9 4.4 12.1 107 107 0.092 D. Howard - 19 17.2 0.571 17.3 1.5 3.6 16.1 111 104 0.131 T. Duncan - 21 22.6 0.577 17.6 0.9 4.5 15.7 108 95 0.192 D. Robinson - 24 26.3 0.597 18.5 2.2 6.5 13.3 116 97 0.241 A. Davis - 19 33.8 0.592 16.8 2.7 7.7 4.4 124 91 0.346
The numbers speak for themselves. Davis is totally dominating the HOF competition from the jump, and he is only going to get better. Also, keep in mind that Davis is only 19, and he has only been playing in the post for less than 3 years (this year will be his 3rd). What is really striking to me is how low his TO% is to the other players. Best ORtg and DRtg of the group, his PER is off the charts, and he has over 0.1 full win share on everyone - that is HUGE. I see no reason why Davis can't keep these numbers up, and he should become even more efficient as time goes on and when Gordon comes back to attract opposing defense's attention.
Am I jumping the gun? Perhaps, but like I said, Davis is only going to get better, and the first games of your career are supposed to be some of your worst. Not for Davis....
You're not jumping the gun at all. He's a special talent.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
If we do not win an NBA championship with Davis on our roster, I will consider us a total failure as a franchise. Statistics - coupled with court observation - leave me with the conclusion that Davis truly is a transcendental talent; I only pray he wins the title as a Hornet, because I have no doubt he will be playing in several NBA finals.
It's a well written post, but comparing a few games versus a whole season in a little flawed. So yes I agree 3 games it too small of a sample size, but I'm equally as excited about him.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Davis has been so much better than advertised it's unreal. Even if we trade Gordon for a bag of peanuts, Aminu leaves as a UFA and Rivers is the next Jeryd Bayless, we will have won the CP3 trade.
I think too early to start extrapolating stats over the whole season but I think the people who questioned his ceiling as an offensive player are starting to rethink things. He's shown himself to be dangerous on the break and left loose, he's shown surprisingly good post skills and also a pretty darn impressive and fluid midrange shot.
Right now his floor looks like a 20-8 high percentage guy with 2-3 blocks. His ceiling is pretty exciting to think about. He was absolutely dominant on both ends last night in his third game ever.
This dude does not even have an offensive game together yet, but he scores with ease at times. Just wait till he gets a go to post game and gets stronger. This guy is just wow.
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
One very underrated aspect of AD's game that I would like to see compared to these guys- Fouls per game. Davis is averaging less than 1 foul per game. That is insane for a guy who averages over 3.5 blocks per 36 minutes and nearly 2 steals per 36. He is making impact defensive plays without fouling and giving opponents free points. Even non-shooting fouls help teams get in the bonus early, so not picking those up are huge. To me, the #1 reason that this Hornets defense has taken another step forward is because they dont give opponents free throws. Huge strength for Davis IMO
I didn't need the chart to tell me we have a once in a decade type of player, but I appreciate it.
But seriously, I think Davis isn't just going to reach his potential. Pressure put on him will allow others to reach their potential.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Can we offer him 5years/100mil yet?
Months after the lottery and I'm still shocked we got him. The future is very very bright
He has played well and has been very efficient. I underestimate his touch around the basket and his quick hooks. But most of his baskets are wide open assissted looks. Any good athlete would make those basket, and it's hasn't been 3 full games he's a good player and he should help this team win games for years to come, but taking 2.5 games and making these grand conclusion is premature to say the least.
How many of you where calling Jeremy Lin a once in a generation player after his run? Right now his offensive output is mostly due to the system. He's getting the ball right where he's comfortable and doesn't have to do much. He's also on a team with no true #1 option so he's a defacto 1st option.
If after teams adjust to how we are using Davis and if he's still this productive and/or efficient I feel way more comfortable about his chances to be a star.

ive honestly never heard anyone call jeremy lin a once in a generation type pleyer... eventually you'll come around and admit that you were wrong about davis.. one day

But where Davis is concerned? The thing is, as I'm not afraid of being wrong, I have no problems making premature statements. At this continued pace of development over some length of time, double teams. Don't know when, but they're coming.
I do agree that we need to wait and see what happens when the defense starts scheming against him more, but i think he has outperformed expectations enough that a floor of Marcus Camby is no longer adequate. He will be so much better than Camby.
I think we got a real good one on our hands in Davis. Terrific player and glad to see him playin again.

Paul Switzer and Alma Gibbons have portrayed numerous historical characters over the years — none more dear to them than Mary and Abe Lincoln.
They reprise their roles March 17 for a day in the life of the 16th president and his often volatile wife in "The Lincolns: An Intimate Portrait."
The fact-based performance looks at the last day of Lincoln's life — April 14, 1865.
Switzer said the performance is one that will take the audience to a place seldom seen in history books. It does not visit Lincoln's epic Civil War struggle to preserve the United States or to free millions of enslaved African-Americans.
"It is rather a look at their personal struggles in the White House, as a married couple, reacting to the death of their son Willie, to criticism and rumor, and to their sometimes fragile mental health," Switzer said. "I attempt to show the president's many moods, his endless patience, his delight with good barnyard humor, his indulgence with his son Tad, and finally, his hopes for reconciliation with the South."
Switzer added that this is an important production, because the dialogue is not a writer's presumption, but rather Lincoln's actual words and quotes, as recorded by servants and staff.
Gibbons said she and Switzer have done extensive research for this, their fifth presentation of a look at the First Family of the Civil War.
"After reading tons of material about her, I have come view Mary Ann Todd Lincoln sympathetically," Gibbons said. "She is a woman who has suffered terribly in many ways, but it's sometimes difficult to see beyond her odd behavior and temperamental outbursts. I see her is a woman on the edge trying desperately to hold on to her sanity."
Collectively, Switzer and Gibbons described the script as "a very personal conversation between the President and Mrs. Lincoln on the last day of his life. The audience is overhearing them as they discuss family, political and personal matters that have affected their lives together. It is really a retrospective of their lives."
Switzer and Gibbons met as character interpreters at Tryon Palace, where they have portrayed various historical characters of New Bern. Both have also been "ghosts" in the annual Ghost Walk. The pair developed an interest in Mary and Abe Lincoln's personal relationship, culminating in four performances in 2008 of the Lincolns.
They first presented "Lincoln" for the New Bern Historical Society's Lunch & Learn series in 2008. It was well received and the pair did an encore performance at the Society's Attmore Oliver house. Later, they presented it at McCarthy Court & the Courtyards, as fundraisers for the New Bern Historical Society.
All of the proceeds from the upcoming presentation will equally benefit Tryon Palace and the Historical Society.
Gibbons is a native New Bernian and a retired business owner of Great Rooms Furniture in downtown New Bern from 1990 to 2005. She works at Tryon Palace as a guide and character interpreter.
She has been active in the historical society for many years and has written Ghost Walk scripts in recent years.
"I usually portray characters that are more comedic than not," Gibbons added. "Mary Lincoln is quite a departure for me. I hope our audience will leave with some insight into her motives and some empathy for her."
Switzer, a Cleveland native, is a retired doctor, spending many years as a family doctor in New England and Hawaii, before coming to North Carolina in the early 1990s. He worked in emergency medicine in Manteo and Wilmington before retiring to New Bern.
The March 17 performance begins at 2 p.m. at The Way Station Theatre of Tryon Palace, on the corner of Pollock and George streets. It is presented by The New Bern Historical Society and Tryon Palace. The Lincolns will be introduced by Bernard George of the Historic Society and escorted by the color guard of the United States Colored Troops.
The Lincoln's young son Tad will appear as well, played by Dommy Boccia. He has appeared in productions at New Bern Civic Theatre.
After the program, the audience is invited to meet the Lincolns in a reception line and enjoy refreshments and sample President Lincoln's favorite desert.
Tickets are $10 for all adults; $5 for students with ID. Call the New Bern Historical Society at 638-8558 for advance tickets as seating is limited.
Charlie Hall can be reached at 252-635-5667 or firstname.lastname@example.com

This product I received was not what was pictured and therefore not what I expected. The photo of the basket was blue/white stripes. There was a different BBQ basket that included wine but the basket was red/white/blue (Rock Falls Vineyards BBQ Duet) but I didn't care for the basket so I ordered the "hot off the grill" and wine separately. What I received was the red/white/blue basket (and it was missing some of the products). It I had wanted the RW&B basket, I would have ordered the combined with wine basket (the Rock Falls). I called Wine Country and they advised that perhaps they had limited baskets available (although I think they should have let me know when I placed the order that I would be getting someting different) and they would call me back. It's been a week now and I haven't heard from them. I have ordered many baskets from Wine Country and have always been elated. This purchase, however, was very disappointing for me as the giver. Fortunately though, the recipient was happy with her gift.

Hot off the Grill review
By L T

See all my reviews
Comments about Hot Off the Grill:
This was a nice thank you gift for a gentleman who was very generous with his time. We wanted to show appreciation and this was successful. The container would have been complete if a few sodas could have been included with the solo cups as this person does not drink beer or wine. Being across the country we were not able to add that item ourselves.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poor Quality
By CT
from Fort Worth, TX
I got this for Father's Day for my father-in-law. Product arrived on time but my mother in law told me it was not good quality or value. She stated one of the reusable cups came broken and the cutting board was too small to use. Dissapointed in quality for the money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Gift!
By HWC
from Panama City, Florida
The basket I ordered for our church Father's Day gift was perfect. Great items in the basket! Beautifully arranged and the cost was very reasonable!. We will definitely order from Wine Country again!
By Andrea
from Alexandria, VA
I purchased this gift set for a family friend who enjoys grilling. There was a nice variety of grilling items and snacks to munch on while grill heats up. The recipient told me I spent way too much, so that should speak to the value versus the price (Spent $42 after coupon code and had free shipping!) Would purchase another gift set.
Could use a little more stuff!
By Debbie
from Henderson, NV
This could use a little more umph! Maybe a bottle of red wine or some unique beers and a more well known Barbecue sauce. It was just so so.

Birst brings the benefits of fact-based decision making to a much broader audience than ever before.

Our secret lies in our patented Cloud two-tier data architecture that sits on top all of your data. Birst creates a user data tier that plugs into existing data warehouses, data lakes or applications, automating the process of refining the data and creating a single view for all your business users.

Watch Live: Aurora Movie Theater Shooting Trial
A hot air balloon caught fire and crashed at the Meadow Event Park in Caroline County, Va.
Officials have found one body after a hot air balloon hit a power line, caught fire and then shot up into the sky before exploding and crashing in eastern Virginia.
Two were still missing and presumed dead, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said during a news conference on Saturday morning.
"We are still looking for the other two and the wreckage," she said. "Of course our goal right now is to locate the other two occupants.
A regional investigator from the National Transportation Safety Board was looking into the cause of the accident, according to the agency. Virginia State Police, the Federal Aviation Administration, local law enforcement and Emergency Medical Services were conducting a ground search on Saturday, according to a statement posted on the Mid-Atlantic Balloon Festival site.
A pilot and two passengers were on board one of three hot air balloons that took off from the Meadow Event Park in Caroline County, Va., on the eve of the Festival just before 8 p.m. Friday, Geller said. The balloons attempted to land a short time later at a designated landing area, according to witnesses.
Two of the three successfully touched down, but a third hit the power line as it neared the ground, igniting a fire. It is believed that the balloon crashed northeast of the park.
"As the third balloon made its descent, the balloon made contact with a live utility wire that in turn sparked a fire," Geller said. "The fire spread quickly."
The pilot tried to open the top of the balloon in an effort to get the fire under control, but the balloon rose quickly, Geller said. Witnesses then heard two explosions and, at one point, the gondola and balloon separated, she added.
Local resident Carrie Hager-Bradley told NBC12 she was on her way home after a trip to the grocery store when she saw the balloon in flames.
Hager-Bradley said she could hear cries from those on board.
"They were just screaming for anybody to help them. 'Help me, help me, sweet Jesus, help, I'm going to die, oh my God, I'm going to die,'" she told the station.
Her daughter saw what appeared to be an occupant of the balloon fall to the ground, Hager-Bradley added.
Cole Holocker, 18, told NBC News he was headed to North Carolina with his family on Route 301 near Army base Fort A.P. Hill when he noticed smoke billowing in the distance.
"We saw black smoke coming from an object," he said. "Couldn't tell what it was. We thought it might be exhaust from a helicopter around the base and then, when we came close to it, we could see it was a balloon."
Holocker, a college student, said he and his family pulled the car over to get a better look, and as the smoke began to dissipate, they could see the structure of the balloon "actually collapsing."
"There was nothing below the balloon. It looked like the basket had burned away," he said. "(The balloon) was shrinking. As it started to lose air out of it, it collapsed to one side … and then it started falling at a faster rate, and then it fell behind the tree line."
Holocker estimated he was about 5 to 10 miles away from the crash site.
Hot air balloon teams from all over the United States had been expected to participate in the festival.

ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe says Heyneke Meyer 'is not keen on putting black players in the team'.
On Tuesday, Meyer selected Jaco Taute ahead of Juan de Jongh at outside centre, Pat Lambie and Morne Steyn ahead of Elton Jantjies at flyhalf, and Adriaan Strauss and Schalk Brits ahead of Chiliboy Ralepelle at hooker. Three players of colour were included in the starting XV – Zane Kirchner, JP Pietersen and Beast Mtawarira – with another two – De Jongh and Lwazi Mvovo – on the eight-man bench.
'The situation is the coaches select the basic minimum black players in the team and relax thereafter and overlook good players,' Mantashe said. 'Why do we wait until there are no other players? The attitude is that coaches think this is a white sport and they meet the basic amount of players.'
Mantashe said it seemed like Meyer was reluctant to select black players who deserved a place in the side.
'My view is that the new coach is not keen on putting black players in the team, even those who have proven they are the best.'
He said there was something wrong if someone like Jantjies was not selected and that Mvovo and Stormers flanker Siya Kolisi (who was injured in late August and ruled out for the rest of the season) also deserved a spot in the team.

Right now, the ASPCA is on the ground in Kentucky rescuing dozens of dogs from an overrun puppy mill. The dogs were discovered living in filthy conditions with little to no protection from extreme weather. Unfortunately, puppy mills like this are still legal across the country. And that's just not right!
What can you do to help? Spread the word to all your friends that puppy mills are bad places. You can also enter to win one of our special ASPCA Puppy Mill Advocacy Kits! Simply visit our online form, and tell us why you think puppy mills are bad. You could win the following items:
- ASPCA Puppy Mill Message Tote
- ASPCA Puppy Mill Message Tee
- 10 ASPCA Orange Wristbands to share with your friends
- And much more!
Working together we can help end puppy mills for good!
Why don't you encourage people to boycott stores that sell puppies, but also MALLS that have pet stores that sell puppies. I no longer frequent a local mall that has a pet store with puppies.
I agree with you Mary Ann Skinnion.
Not sure about boycotting the puppy mills because what would happen to those poor dogs?
In most cases, the dogs are nursed back to health (IF POSSIBLE,) given needed vet care, and they are placed in foster care or up for ADOPTION. Sadly, in some cases, the dogs are in such poor health, that may not be possible. There are many organizations that specifically care for RESCUES.
It would be UNACCEPTABLE for us to live under those conditions, AND it is UNACCEPTABLE for animals to be bred that way. Insensitivity and GREED take priority over raising puppies in caring, healthy, and safe environments!
in nc there are still stores that sell puppies. nc is one of the worst states for puppy mills b/c the laws are so lax and sometimes not enforced. i know of one pet rescue that has put stores in the malls, which i find it good, they rotate out the pets. also many of the petstores like petco, petsmart, etc. have rescue days and have pets in the stores for people to adopt, which i think is good. laws need to be enforced which is a big problem with the puppy mills. i wish we could save them all. what a wonderful world that would be....maybe 2014 will bring better results.

Men's Soccer Eliminated from Playoff Contention with 3-1 Loss at Erskine
October 22, 2011
DUE WEST, S.C. - Three early unanswered goals on Saturday afternoon led Erskine College to a 3-1 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon. The win moves the Flying Fleet to 8-6-1 overall, 6-4 in league play, while the Falcons drop 2-12-1, 1-7-1. With the loss, Pfeiffer has been eliminated from a berth in the Conference Carolinas tournament for just the second time in the last nine years.
Cade Weatherly put the Fleet on the board in the 23rd minute with his second of the year as Erskine carried that advantage into the half. Andrew Settlemire and Eric Moxley quickly made it 3-0 six minutes apart starting in the 63rd minute. Luke Boyce assisted on both second half goals for Erskine.
Pfeiffer got on the board with just 2:05 remaining to avoid the shutout as Ben Lloyd scored just inside the post. Erskine held a lengthy 23-9 shots advantage on Saturday.
The Falcons return home on Tuesday and Saturday for their final two games of the regular season against North Greenville and Queens. Both matches begin at 3:00 p.m. with live stats being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Work zone safety
Each year in Wisconsin, both highway workers and motorists are killed and injured in crashes that happen in highway construction zones.
Recognizing work zones
Major road construction that lasts for weeks and weeks. Emergency vehicles at the side of the road. A snowplow flashing its warning lights. The everyday garbage pickup. In Wisconsin, they're all work zones.
Any time people are working in a street or highway near traffic, drivers and workers are at risk. Being able to identify the work zones up ahead can save lives. So learn the signs of a work zone: flashing lights, utility or emergency vehicles, orange signs, flags, barrels and cones. And, of course, people.
Driving in work zones
To protect themselves and others, drivers need to slow down whenever they see flashing lights, or move over, if possible, to leave the lane beside the work zone open. In some construction areas, lowered speed limits are posted and must be obeyed at all times.
Remember, when you enter a work zone, be patient. Worrying about the time and traffic won't get you anywhere faster. Instead, slow down and pay attention to your surroundings. These tips can help you get in and out of a work zone safely:
- Don't fool around. Eliminate distractions like eating, drinking, talking on the phone, or fiddling with electronic devices.
- Expect the unexpected. Speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be changed, and people and vehicles may be working on or near the road.
- Slow down. A car traveling 60 mph travels 88 feet per second, and the faster you go the longer it takes to stop.
- Give yourself room. Rear-end collisions are the most common work zone crashes, so don't tailgate.
- Allow about three seconds of braking distance. Look for signs. Orange, diamond-shaped signs usually give you ample warning of lane closings, construction areas, and flaggers and other workers ahead.
- Be patient. If you don't see workers, that doesn't mean they're not there. Observe the signs until you see one that says you've left the work zone.
- Plan ahead. Leave early or map out an alternate route. Find the latest road conditions and work zone news at http://dot.wi.gov/travel/driving-cond.htm.
- Follow the law. Slow down and move over, if possible, when you see flashing lights.
Paying for work zone carelessness
In Wisconsin, we take work zone safety seriously. The penalties for careless driving are steep.
- It can cost you money. A normal speeding ticket can be expensive, but that's nothing compared to traffic violations made in the zone. In a work zone, penalties are doubled - and fines usually increase every year.
- It can cost you time. The consequences for injuring or killing someone in a work zone are especially serious. Careless drivers may face thousands of dollars in fines and up to 3 1/2 years in prison if they injure someone in a work zone. The fines for vehicular manslaughter are even higher, as are the prison terms - as many as 10 years. These punishments may increase if the driver was intoxicated or a repeat offender.
- It can cost your life. The greatest cost of irresponsible driving isn't calculated in dollars or years. Wisconsin sees nearly 2,000 work zone crashes a year. Sometimes, people die. And those tragedies change the lives of everyone left behind - workers, drivers and passengers, family and friends.
The fact is, people who work along Wisconsin's roads are extremely vulnerable. But not every crash in the zone involves workers. In reality, drivers and their passengers are the most common work zone fatalities.
Driving safely protects people on the road and the people in your own car. Driving safely protects you. So follow the rules, follow the law. And be safer in the zone.

Know the signs
Right lane ends
Merge carefully. Don't risk everyone's safety by forcing your way into the line at the last minute.
Flagger ahead
Slow down and be prepared to stop. A real person is out on the road.
Two-way traffic
Be alert. One travel lane means traffic will be right next to you.
Road work in 1500 feet
Slow down. At 60 mph, the work zone is just 17 seconds away.

Asia, it was unbelievable. 8 shows in 12 days, 3 of which in Tokyo. Plenty of euphoric fans and sold-out venues, delighted journalists, and at the finish 30,000 Indonesian Pumpkinheads at the show @ Kukar Rocking Festival. And then, the whole thing was topped off by an invitation by sultan Haji Adji Salehuddin II of Kutai Kartanegara ing Martadipura of Borneo: After the official ceremony with dance, meal and swords as gifts for the whole band, you could consider it more than enough events for one metal summer. But far from it: In 2013, the expression 'break' simply doesn't exist in the Helloween universe.
Finally after so many years of successful touring in Brazil, our Live DVD in 2005 from the show in Sao Paulo and all the other great moments we had overseas, we are happy and excited to officially announce our appearance at the largest music festival in the world - ROCK IN RIO !
We´re going to have there a special show together with Kai Hansen on Sunday 09/22.
After so many legends played the ROCK IN RIO festival we´re proud to be part of this huge event !
Meet you there !!!
Andi, Michael, Sascha, Markus, Dani & Kai
