Dave Bartlett had cancer not once, but twice.
And he, quite literally, lived to tell the story.
The 50-year-old Fayetteville resident and retired U.S. Army soldier was at Neuseway Nature Park Wednesday afternoon with about 19 others, taking a break in the middle of a 200-mile journey.
The group, Hope Floats N.C., is making its second kayak trip down the Neuse River, going from Raleigh to New Bern in the span of a week. The goal is to raise money that will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
"I did it last year, and last year it was about eight months out from a stem-cell transplant," Bartlett said. "I just wanted to see if I could do it. I guess it was kind of selfish last year. This year, for me, it's a way to fight cancer."
The project can become a grueling endeavor, with kayakers pushing through fatigue at the end of the day.
"It's been great. It's been windy, which is always a lot more work, and we have to work harder, but that's kind of the idea behind the whole thing is to suffer a little bit, to get a sense of what dealing with cancer is like," Bartlett said.
Kenly resident Rodney Stancil, 47, and his son Garrett, 24, took to the water in tribute to Rodney's father. Cecil Stancil died in 2007 at the age of 64.
"This is our first year doing it, and we're doing it in memory of him and in honor of some family members," Rodney Stancil said. "We're just trying to raise money for research so we can help somebody."
Louisiana native Mary Grace McCoy, 44, lives in Siler City and her experience in paddling the river in 2012 affected her motivation to do it again this year.
"Initially, it was the personal challenge of it, of having to paddle that many miles and sleep outside for a week, so that was the first thing," McCoy said.
She continued, "But then, I guess it really quickly — as I met everybody else on the team and the stuff they were going though — we have so many team members with cancer themselves. So, it was good seeing them out here doing this."
The group set out from Seven Springs early Wednesday morning arrived in Kinston around 2:30 p.m., not unlike the journey of the CSS Neuse in March 1863.
Wednesday marked Day 6 of the journey — the group should arrive in New Bern today. To follow the kayakers' journey, check them out on Twitter, @HopeFloats_NC, or go to hopefloatsnc.com.

Forests & Trees
Forests & Trees
Climate change is likely to alter the geographic distribution of the world's forests. The effects of climate change on forests in the U.S. and other parts of the world will depend not only on climatic factors but also on stresses from pollution (e.g., acid rain); future trends in forest management practices, including fire control and demand for timber; and land-use change. It is difficult to separate the influence of climate change from these other pressures, which are and will continue changing due to human activities.
Climate change effects on forests are likely to include changes in forest health and productivity and changes in the geographic range of certain tree species. These effects can alter timber production, outdoor recreational activities, water quality, wildlife and rates of carbon storage.

Program:......................... 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
We are pleased to announce that Latham & Watkins LLP will present a ¾ day seminar on the common tax issues that arise during restructurings and transactions with multinational groups.
The first session, Day to Day Dealings with Subchapter C in Reorganizations and Restructurings, is intended to be a refresher on structuring tax-free transactions in a domestic corporate context. These aren't the once in a career transactions, but rather common issues encountered when trying to move the boxes around on the structure chart. A list of key topics includes Sections 368, 351, 355, 304, basis recovery and economic substance.
The second session, Common Encounters with Section 367 and Other International Tax Issues, will focus on how Section 367 affects outbound transfers of assets and stock and when such transfers can qualify for tax-free treatment. Also covered will be a number of international restructuring issues common to a US based multinational group.
The third session, Cash Rich Spin-Offs, Morris Trust Transactions and Other Recent Spin-Off Developments and Corporate Inversions/Expatriations, covers topics that have recently received extensive coverage in the business and financial press. When these articles run, CEOs and CFOs, call the tax people and want to know the "why and how"!

It is no secret that salads are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. A fresh salad with plenty of vegetables, fruits, a few slices of chicken breast, fish or turkey, and a light dressing of your choice not only tastes great but is also rich in a variety of nutrients. Unfortunately, making a great salad is no piece of cake. The cutting and chopping alone can take half an hour or more. Tossing, serving and storing it is no mean feat either, and you can then see why so many people don't eat salads as frequently as they should. Fortunately, with a device like the Salad Chef, you can make delicious salads in minutes, not hours.
Click Here To Visit Salad Chef Official Site
The Salad Chef essentially takes all the tasks associated with making a salad – cutting/chopping, tossing, serving and storing – and puts it together in one easy to use box. Billed as the world's fastest salad making system, the Salad Chef allows you to rinse, spin, slice, dice, shred, cube, grate, seal and store, all in one handy container.
The Salad Chef consists of a lid that includes a chopper/dicer/slicer. The lid fits right onto a large container. Instead of chopping vegetables and fruits and transferring them one by one into a salad bowl, you can simply attach the lid to the container and use the in-built chopper to slice, dice cube and cut your favorite vegetables and fruits, all of which collect in the container. Just add a dressing of your choice, and you have a great salad ready within minutes.

The secret of the Salad Chef is its combination of high end, commercial kitchen technology with plain old common sense. The blades are made to the highest standards of German precision engineering, and the box itself is made from high grade plastic that is virtually indestructible. The end result is that the blades can perform a variety of functions – chopping, dicing, slicing, grating, cubing, etc. – within seconds. And since the cut vegetables and fruits collect in the container, all you need to do is add your favorite dressing for a great dish. Additionally, you can also use it to chop together vegetables for stews and delicious soups!
The long list of the health benefits of salads does not need to be reiterated here. Salads are easily among the healthiest of dishes, loaded with nutrients and fiber. The Salad Chef, since it makes it so much easier to make virtually any salad imaginable, should be a permanent fixture in any kitchen. Not only will you eat healthier, but will also save time and energy. At just $19.95, the Salad Chef is great value for money that cannot be recommended highly enough.

Customer Raves & Reviews
In love with our magnet
These save the dates are really cute online - but even better in person! They exceeded our expectations. The ability to customize every detail really makes it your own. The package that our order came in was incredibly professional and could double as a keepsake. And the printing and shipping were so timely. Definitely ordering our wedding invites through MagnetStreet!
Great magnet
The magnet was beautiful, we pick the real color which matched perfect with our wedding colors and theme. Design and feel great. I would recommend this magnet design.
Loved them!
I love these! The design was perfect and I loved the magnet holders. Everyone has received them in the mail and think they are a great idea! The envelopes were great; heavy enough to hold the magnet. They were a tiny bit see through but held up in the mail. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was I had my photos done by a professional so I know the quality was amazing but on the magnet one of the photos appeared a little blurry; I am extremely picky though. Make sure you choose photos that have a lot of light otherwise this may happen. Otherwise these are great and I would totally recommend them!
Great Product!
I absolutely loved my magnet save the dates! They were a perfect size and great photo quality. Everyone has complimented me on how unique and beautiful they are. It was so easy to make and great that the envelopes came with the order. The only part that was not perfect is I did not get any emails stating when my order was shipped or an estimated arrival time. Other than that.. no complaints!
Mini magnet
It's a great design, the photos are just really small on it!

Mastitis is an infection of the breast tissue that results in breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness of the breast. If you have mastitis, you might also experience fever and chills. Mastitis most commonly affects women who are breast-feeding (lactation mastitis), although sometimes this condition can occur in women who aren't breast-feeding.
In most cases, lactation mastitis occurs within the first three months after giving birth (postpartum), but it can happen later during breast-feeding. The condition can leave you feeling exhausted and run-down, making it difficult to care for your baby.
Sometimes mastitis leads a mother to wean her baby before she intends to. But you can continue breast-feeding while you have mastitis.
With mastitis, signs and symptoms can appear suddenly and may include:
Although mastitis usually occurs in the first several weeks of breast-feeding, it can happen anytime during breast-feeding. Lactation mastitis tends to affect only one breast — not both breasts.
In most cases, you'll feel ill with flu-like symptoms for several hours before you recognize that there's a sore red area on one of your breasts. As soon as you recognize this combination of signs and symptoms, it's time to contact your doctor.
Your doctor will probably want to see you to confirm the diagnosis. Oral antibiotics are usually very effective in treating this condition. If you've had mastitis before, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics over the phone. If your signs and symptoms don't improve after the first two days of taking antibiotics, see your doctor right away to make sure your condition isn't the result of a more serious problem.
Mastitis may be caused by:
Risk factors for mastitis include:
When mastitis isn't adequately treated, or it's related to a blocked duct, a collection of pus (abscess) can develop in your breast. An abscess usually requires surgical drainage. To avoid this complication, talk to your doctor as soon as you develop signs or symptoms of mastitis.
For mastitis, your first appointment will likely be with your regular health care provider, such as an obstetrician-gynecologist, family doctor or nurse practitioner. For problems related to breast-feeding, you may be referred to a lactation consultant.
To prepare for your appointment:
For mastitis, some basic questions to ask include:
Your doctor may ask you questions about:
Your doctor diagnoses mastitis based on a physical exam, taking into account signs and symptoms of fever, chills and a painful area in the breast. Another clear sign is a wedge-shaped area on the breast that points toward the nipple and is tender to the touch. As part of the exam, your doctor will make sure you don't have a breast abscess — a complication that can occur when mastitis isn't treated promptly.
A rare form of breast cancer — inflammatory breast cancer — also can cause redness and swelling that could initially be confused with mastitis. Your doctor may recommend a diagnostic mammogram, and you may need a biopsy to make sure you don't have breast cancer.
Mastitis treatment usually involves:
If your mastitis doesn't clear up after taking antibiotics, check back with your doctor.
If you have mastitis, it's safe to continue breast-feeding. Continuing breast-feeding offers the added benefit of helping clear the infection in your breast.
To relieve your discomfort:
If breast-feeding on the infected breast is too painful or your infant refuses to nurse on that breast, try pumping or hand-expressing milk.
To get your breast-feeding relationship with your infant off to its best start — and to avoid complications such as mastitis — consider making an appointment with a lactation consultant. A lactation consultant can give you tips and provide invaluable advice for proper breast-feeding technique.
Minimize your chances of getting mastitis by following these tips:

But make no mistake, though.
As the senior forward said in his next breath, anything less than that likely could leave
"Coach Gottfried said he didn't come here to finish second in the ACC," Howell said, "and we didn't come here to finish second in the ACC. We want to finish first and that's our goal.
"We're not going to go into a game saying, 'they're going to beat us' or 'we might finish second.' We feel like we can win it, and that's what we're going to do. We're just going to take it a game at a time."
The next step in that process comes tonight at
The Wolfpack arrives 3-0 in the ACC for the first time since 1989. A victory secures
That historical significance aside,
"I don't know that it validates anything. I don't really get into all that. I'm just happy for our players," Gottfried said after the Duke game. "But we need to find a way to mentally get past that and get ourselves ready to go on the road. And that's the nature of this league."
The toppling of the nation's No. 1-ranked team and the often-replayed, court-storming scene that ensued have made the Wolfpack a chief topic among the college basketball discourse.
Gottfried said he hopes that because N.C. State relies so heavily on four veterans — seniors Howell and Scott Wood and juniors Lorenzo Brown and C.J. Leslie — managing the extra attention should become less of an issue.
"The fact that we do have some veteran players, that helps you with that," Gottfried said. "Those four guys, collectively, need to provide that kind of leadership within our ranks.
"It won't be easy (tonight). There won't be any easy ones. There just aren't in this league."
The talented pieces that
There was the slashing athleticism of Leslie (25 points), the brute strength of Howell (16 points and 18 rebounds), the attacking of Brown (12 points and 13 assists) and the sharpshooting of Wood (three 3-pointers and 14 points), all of whom played heavy minutes.
Freshmen Rodney Purvis and T.J. Warren chipped in a combined 17 points, too.
"It goes further than me and C.J.," Howell said. "I just feel like we have too many weapons for everybody to get stopped. We came out and we proved that."
Who: No. 14 N.C. State (14-2, 3-0) at Maryland (13-3, 1-2)
When: 7 tonight (ESPN2)
Where: Comcast Center, College Park, Md.
Series: Maryland leads 76-73
Tip-in: N.C. State, which stopped a nine-game losing streak to Maryland last season, hasn't won at College Park, Md., since the 2004-05 season

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help detect and evaluate kidney dysfunction or decreased blood flow to the kidneys
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor thinks that you may have a problem affecting the function of your kidneys, such as an obstruction within the kidney or acute or chronic kidney failure, or dysfunction due to another disease, such as congestive heart failure
Sample Required?
Both a urine sample (24-hour collection) and a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures creatinine levels in both a sample of blood and a sample of urine from a 24-hour urine collection. The results are used to calculate the amount of creatinine that has been cleared from the blood and passed into the urine. This calculation allows for a general evaluation of the amount of blood that is being filtered by the kidneys in a 24-hour time period.
Creatinine is a waste product produced in the muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. Creatine is part of the cycle that produces energy needed to contract muscles. The amount of creatinine produced in the body is dependent on muscle mass and is relatively constant for an individual.
Almost all creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys, so levels in the blood are a good indication of how well the filtering units in the kidneys, called glomeruli, are functioning. The amount of creatinine removed from the blood depends on both the filtering ability of the glomeruli in the kidneys and the rate at which blood is carried to the kidneys.
The amount of blood filtered per minute is known as the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). If the glomeruli are damaged or diseased, or if blood circulation is slowed, then less creatinine will be removed from the blood and released into the urine and the GFR will be decreased.
There are several versions of the creatinine clearance calculation. All of them include the measurement of the amount of creatinine in a blood sample collected just before or after the urine collection, the amount of creatinine in 24-hour urine sample, and the 24-hour urine volume. Since the amount of creatinine produced depends on muscle mass, some calculations also use a correction factor that takes into account a person's body surface area (using their height and weight).
How is the sample collected for testing?
The test requires a 24-hour urine collection and a blood sample drawn either at the beginning or end of the urine collection. The blood sample is drawn by needle from a vein in the arm. The person being tested will also usually be asked to provide their current height and weight.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Members of the Lenoir Committee of 100 got some relief Wednesday from the daily drumbeat of bad economic news, as they learned of signs of local progress, including increased industrial hiring and a variety of downtown businesses scheduled to open in the coming year.
"All of this, remember, has occurred during a recession, so you can imagine what it's going to be like (when things turn around)," outgoing C100 President Rob Bizzell told members who gathered at the Kinston Country Club for the group's annual meeting.
Bizzell completed his two-year term as president of the nonprofit group of Lenoir County residents and business leaders, which supports local economic development efforts.
He passed the gavel to Paul Busick, who will serve as president through 2014, along with the current slate of new officers.
"It's been a good two years," Bizzell said.
Wednesday's meeting included reports from Lenoir County Economic Development Director Mark Pope; Don Blake, director of quality and site services at Spirit AeroSystems' Kinston manufacturing facility; and Trent Mooring and Stephen Hill, the cofounders of Mother Earth Brewing.
Spirit, which is headquartered in Wichita, Kan., has been operating in the N.C. Global TransPark for two years, building aircraft components.
Blake and his family moved from Wichita to Kinston, and he said Wednesday they have been welcomed "in such a fashion we've felt like we were at home the whole time."
He told the audience 360 full-time employees plus up to 24 contractors were currently employed at the Spirit plant here, and the company is on track to fill its commitment to hire 1,017 people within five years from its opening.
Blake said the company is continuing to process new applications and coordinate training with Lenoir Community College.
"We are still trying to get people in the doors as quick as we can," he said.
Hill and Mooring said Mother Earth has grown from brewing 2,000 barrels a year when the brewery opened in 2009 to 7,000 barrels this year.
The brewery — built in a former drive-through pharmacy downtown at Herritage and North streets — has the capacity to brew 10,000 to 12,000 barrels, and company officials have purchased neighboring property with an eye toward expansion.
Hill also updated the C100 members on efforts by him and fellow businesspeople to develop new downtown eating establishments — and a music venue — and improve housing in the nearby Mitchelltown neighborhood, in order to attract artists to live and work there.
"Those guys are just modest for all that they have done to the downtown area," Pope said of Hill and Mooring.
Pope talked about the partnerships Lenoir County has built with state officials, educators, industry and more, and how the local economy has benefited.
"We wouldn't get the things we're getting now if we didn't have those partnerships in place," he said.
Pope also discussed the status of major transportation projects, the community outreach efforts of local industrial employers Sanderson Farms and Smithfield Foods and the need to educate local youths so they are qualified for high-tech jobs.
"We've got to have all of those parts of the wheel working together," he said.
David Anderson can be reached at 252-559-1077 or email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at DavidFreePress.
Here are some updates presented at Wednesday's Committee of 100 meeting:
Spirit expects to have about 400 employees by end of year
Airbus A350 XWB parts built by Spirit are in Airbus production line
350 expected to debut at 2013 Paris Air Show
Mother Earth beer now sold in North Carolina and Georgia, soon in Washington, D.C.
Mother Earth has obtained distilling license to make spirits
Asian bistro in Harvey-Brody building expected to open early next year
Oyster/burger bar, operated by Ben Knight and Vivian Howard of Chef & the Farmer, to open in spring
Stephen Hill plans to turn Broken Eagle into the Red Room, a music venue
Hull Road veterans' home nearly up and running
GTP rail spur is complete
Harvey Parkway expansion to U.S. 70 expected to be open to traffic in 12-18 months

body shot
Air house 2's in the rear and finally got my Koni's in. It helped. As far as the fronts, I bought a set of xl's to try and see if that makes a dif. We'll see.
Just dropped my wheels off, so i'll be part of the white on white club
nice, good work. I just don't like the way these cars look bottomed out in the rear from the side it is weird to me.
Very nice and clean... saw you at SOWO
Took a picture of it in the hotel parking lot....
Will post it for you later....
I was there on Friday night and then Saturday night... I wasn't there for the show... had to work.

Here is one that I found of me driving down the street.
IMG_3729 by andyfl32, on Flickr
I just saw yours and there was a blacked out passat with black wheels with just springs on it.
Yeah next year I will be there for sure for the show....
I'll try and get those pictures of the different heights tomorrow and answer the question about ride quality and stuff along with going air but just quickly I test fitted my old wheels today. I know they are 17s, which are too small, but they are 9" wide and et24 so now I know I have room to play with on the next set of wheels. Enjoy.
that is just silly low. I actually like the blue.
If your looking to sell the wheels I just saw this guys post looking for those wheels. AutoThisWorld

What setup do you have?
My set up is bagyard bomber front struts, bagyard classic rears, Accuair E-level management, 5-gallon tank, Koni yellow shocks, and dual 400 vivair compressors.
*Just as a FYI for anyone wanting to go air. If you use bagyard bomber front struts(I don't know about the clearance of airlift XLs) there is a plate at the bottom of the bag. It decreases the room you have for higher offset wheels and bigger tires. My wheels now are 19x8.5 et45, 225/40 tires and I have to run a spacer. If I just put the wheel on the car, the tire will be touching the plate. The factory 17s will fit without a spacer but the tire is really close to the plate.*
How is the ride?
From the stock ride it is completely different. The stock ride was very soft and comfy, with the air ride it is a tad bit rougher but no biggie for me. I mean lowering your car usually will make the ride a bit stiffer so just keep that in mind.
Any pics of it all the way up?
Here's the pics:
All the way up

All the way down
Just for fun
Wow, the car looks killer man!!!
Im really thinking of selling my brownie and get a B7 TDI.

I have been weighing the idea of getting on of these for a while. Must say this makes me want to get a B7 Passat TDI, but after doing some more thinking I think I am going to just stay in the JSW game for now.
P.S. Your car is hot. I love those wheels just iffy on the center caps being silver, but love the wheels anyway. Also not bashing but I think the TDI badge on the car is crocked.
Nice car, I am jealous
Oh and I removed the tdi badge, as it looked pretty much out of place so the rear is all clean.
Not much to update. I got my foglights from Bud that need to be installed. Oh and I picked up these....

Jake Franklin was in seventh grade, and his father Bill was a referee in a women's college basketball game.
Bill Franklin had a game in New Orleans. When he returned to North Carolina, he had a surprise for his son.
It was an Louisiana State University t-shirt.
"Ever since then, I've been a die-hard LSU Tigers fan – watching football every year and watching them win a national championship back in 2007, the year we (at New Bern) won a state title," said Jake Franklin.
Franklin, a former recruit at William & Mary, will get a shot at playing football at his favorite school.
The 6-foot-6, 265-pound New Bern alum was offered a chance to be a preferred walk-on at LSU, one of the most prestigious football schools in the nation.
Immediately upon getting the offer, Franklin abruptly accepted.
Franklin left for Louisiana on Thursday, has a team meeting on Saturday, then begins classes and workouts on Monday.
"As soon as they offered me that preferred walk-on, I was sold," Franklin said. "When I get down there, they are going to throw me in the loop right away. My first week there, they are going to teach me all the routes and plays."
As a preferred walk-on, Franklin won't receive any scholarship money, but he has an opportunity to earn one.
In the meantime, he will practice with the team and attend classes.
LSU is looking at Franklin as a tight end.
"I'm not going to be content just going down there and being on the team," Franklin said. "I 'm going to do everything I can to play.
"From hearing what the coach wants, he needs a big-body tight end. I can run pretty decently, I know how to block and I can run after the catch. I'm going to try to bust my tail."
Franklin was noticed initially at the LSU football camp in 2009. He didn't receive an offer from the Tigers, so he began his college career at William & Mary.
He played his final season of high school football in 2009 and graduated from New Bern High in 2010.
Franklin signed to play at William & Mary during his senior year in high school. He red-shirted his first season at the Football Championship Subdivision school, then saw playing time at offensive line his second year.
After leaving William & Mary, Franklin took a year off from playing football to attend classes at Pitt Community College and Craven Community College.
He continued to have the dream of playing football at LSU, so he got in touch with Tigers' head coach Les Miles and Assistant Athletic Director and Football Operations Director Dr. Sam Nader.
Franklin went down to an LSU game against South Carolina last fall, then went to the Spring Football Game in April.
"When I was at William & Mary, I wasn't really happy and when you are not happy, you are not really dedicated," Franklin said. "The whole time I was there, I kept thinking, 'what if.'
"Finally, when that year ended, I just wanted to try to get to LSU. I told the coaches I wanted to leave, so when I left, I got Les Miles' secretary's number."
Franklin said Miles remembered him from the 2009 camp, then gave him Nader's information.
Franklin has been staying in shape with a training in Greenville, going to Gold's Gym five days a week and going through LSU's workout package.
"It's going to be more intense (at LSU) which is what I like," Franklin said. "It's the best conference in the country. It's like they say, there are only two conferences in the world- the SEC and the NFL.
"The level of competition is going to push me to work harder in the weight room and on the practice field so I hopefully help them win a national championship."
Franklin was a three-year starter on New Bern's offensive line. He was on the Bears' 2007 4A state championship team.

One or more power windows may fail. Our technicians tell us this is commonly due to a failed window regulator which will require replacement.
2004 Volkswagen Beetle TDI Problem Reports
Most Reported 2004 Volkswagen Beetle TDI Problem Reports
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.
One or both head lights may not work due to premature head light bulb burnout and/or bulb harness failure. Care should be taken to inspect the head light harness connector for damage when replacing bulbs. Damaged connectors should be replaced.
The rear brakes tend to wear out quickly; rotors may need replacement by the first brake job. Our technicians recommend that the brakes be inspected for wear regularly.
Oil and carbon tend to build up, creating restrictions in the intake manifold. Symptoms will be loss of power (sometimes severe) and poor fuel economy.
Reverse gear failures in the manual transmission models are common.
Cars using biofuel typically have problems with injection pump failures; symptoms can include a "no start" condition or external pump leaks.
To ensure longevity of the engine, our technicians recommend to follow the maintenance schedule for the timing belt.
Because of issues with the glow plugs and/or the glow plug wiring harness from the control relay, the Check Engine Light may illuminate. Our technicians tell us there is a service bulletin, not a recall from Volkswagen regarding replacement of the glow plugs on 2004-2005 model years only.

Wedding Programs
Our wedding is outside in October in Texas, so you never know what the temperature or weather will be like. To be safe, I wanted to order program fans for convenience in case some would prefer a "breeze" during the outdoor ceremony. I absolutely LOVE them!! The Peacock Pizzazz design is absolutely gorgeous!! That is what our wedding invitations were done in, and I have had countless people tell me that our invitations are, hands-down, the most beautiful and elegant invitations that they have ever seen...men included! And if a wedding invitation can make a man smile, you know you've got a winner. ;-) I would recommend this design to any bride!! And for a bonus, you can always find great promo codes for your first order. Then, once you order one thing, my packages have always come with additional coupons for other products that need to be ordered (i.e., 25% off thank you notes, and 50% off programs)!
Beautiful Products
I bought the Peacock Pizzaz Save the Dates, Invitations, and Programs. They turned out better than I even expected. I love MagnetStreet and would recommend them to anyone who asked.
I received my cards in the mail yesterday, and of course they were beautiful. Everything I've ordered from MagnetStreet has been fantastic. While these were menu cards, I personalized them by converting them to a wedding announcement for our wedding album. My wedding reception theme was Mardi Gras, (purple, peacock green, and gold) and I had peacock feathers in my bouquet and throughout my reception decorations. It seemed fitting to choose Peacock Pizzaz for my wedding stationery with MagnetStreet. I must also comment on the quality of MagnetStreet's personnel. They were always friendly. I personally enjoyed and appreciated how they were so meticulious with my orders--catching the minor errors I did not catch. You might can find another stationers that cost more, but you will not find one with better people or quality. Everyone who has seen my stationery has raved over the pop of the colors, the quality of the paper, and how everything meshed together so perfectly. Thank you MagnetStreet for helping to make my wedding and reception perfect in every way!
Again I have been so truely happy with my purchase from Magnetstreet! They did a wonderful job on our Save the Date magnets and now our invitations are AMAZING!! they have helped make our big day extra special!! The color and quality of the Peacock Pizzaz square invitations are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I have already recommended them to several of my other friends who are getting married. I will certainly be a return customer!
Beautiful Magnet
My Peacock save the date magnets turned out great. I love how I was able to customize the colors to match the color theme of my wedding which had more of a darker blue instead of the lighter teal color. Being able to change the font style was also great touch. I have had nothing but compliments on the save the dates, everyone raves how the colors just "pop". Overall the magnet save the date turned out beautiful!!

Waylock Tabbed as Conference Carolinas First Player of the Week for Softball
February 10, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Sarah Waylock (1-1 overall, 0-0 conf.) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas softball Player of the Week during week number one in the 2010 season. Pfeiffer University junior transfer Sarah Waylock began her season nearly perfect going 5-for-7 (.714) in an opening pair of games at the UNC-Pembroke Invitational.
In a 4-3 upset win over nationally ranked No. 14 Kutztown, Waylock went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles that included a lead-off single in the bottom of the seventh, eventually leading to the game-winning run. In the nightcap at UNCP, Waylock was perfect at the plate with three singles in three at-bats with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base. Waylock and the Lady Falcons will entertain Catawba and UNC-Pembroke at home this week before opening Conference Carolinas play on Saturday at Belmont Abbey.

Columbus Day Storm remains a fearsome memory
Trees toppled, roofs torn off, cars blown into ditches: 50 years later, witnesses still remember the gale with a shudder
Herald File 1962
Police block off a street in north Everett where a tree had fallen in the Columbus Day Storm on Oct. 12, 1962. Many old maple trees in the north Everett neighborhoods were victims of the storm.
Herald File 1962
A fallen tree in front of the Mission Building on the Snohomish County Courthouse Campus in Everett was among the wreckage of the Columbus Day Storm.
Herald File 1962 Branches were strewn in streets and roads across Snohomish County on the night of of the Columbus Day Storm on Oct. 12, 1962.
Tomorrow marks the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day windstorm, which still reigns as the region's worst -- and deadliest -- Big Blow on record.
"We made it out of Memorial Stadium all right, only to nearly be squished to death by panicked drivers as we tried to run across Colby," recalled Linda Tucker Wright, now 65 and still living in Everett.
The storm packed hurricane-force winds left over from Typhoon Freda, which rolled in from Asia to the West Coast. From the San Francisco Bay to lower British Columbia, the storm had sustained winds and gusts of 50 to 150 mph. It left about 50 people dead, hundreds more injured and property damage estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, equal to more than $1 billion today.
Nearly 50 million board feet of trees were blown over in the Snoqualmie National Forest alone, with estimates of nearly 15 billion board feet of timber downed from northern California to B.C. In nine Washington counties, some of the snapped power and telephone lines weren't repaired for a week or more.
The storm was loud, ferocious and downright scary.
Just ask anybody in his or her mid-50s or older who lived through it.
Brad Hovik, 66, of Marysville, took a break from homework on the evening of Oct. 12, 1962, to help milk the cows on his family's dairy off Shoultes Road.
The wind tossed the 16-year-old Hovik to the ground as he walked out the back door. Then a piece of heavy corrugated steel roofing blew off the tool shed, missing Hovik's face by inches.
"My dad saw this and ushered me into the barn just as the power went out. We had to milk by hand. Normally it took a couple hours to milk 30 cows, but by hand it took us three hours to milk 10 cows," Hovik said. "I remember my hands cramped up after the first two cows and by the last cow, we were in agony."
Hovik's wife, Nancy, grew up on Sunnyside hill of Marysville and she remembers watching the lights go off in Everett and Marysville and on the Tulalip Reservation.
"We watched big fir tree branches blow by the window … They were hitting the house and you could hear shingles being ripped off the roof. This went on for hours," Nancy Hovik said.
Ted Buehner in the Seattle office of the National Weather Service calls the Columbus Day Storm the event by which all other state storms are compared. It was the "strongest non-tropical windstorm ever to hit the lower 48 states," he said.
In 1962, the population of Washington state was about 3 million. Today it's closer to 7 million. I-5 and the Evergreen Floating Bridge were still under construction. A similar storm today would be much more devastating, Buehner said.
The front page of the Oct. 12, 1962, Everett Daily Herald, then an afternoon newspaper, included a photo of an elementary school gym in Gold Beach, Ore. The wind tore the roof from the school and blew the walls down. Had it happened two hours later, more than 400 children would have been assembled in the gym, the principal told the Associated Press.
Oregon was hit especially hard, but the storm ravaged northern California, too. The sixth game of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the visiting New York Yankees was postponed.
Here, other games besides Everett High's were canceled.
At the Lake Stevens football game that night, referee Robert Shane of Lynnwood watched the first half kickoff go straight up in the air and land about five yards behind the boy who kicked it. In the second half, the kick went back over the end zone and into the trees.
"We had to get another ball to continue the game," Shane said. He called the game when the stadium lights went out. "We officials struggled in the dark back to the locker room to get our clothes and go home."
Bill Sehorn, then 13 and living with his family in the Machias area, was at Brown's Snohomish Theater to watch a movie, as he did most Friday nights. He remembers the electricity going out and that the plate-glass windows were blown out of the clothing store on the corner.
"I couldn't call my mom because the telephone lines were down, but I hoped she would know to come get me," said Sehorn, who now lives in Everett. "While I waited, the Brown family started handing out free ice cream bars, which had already started to melt because of the power outage."
On Oct. 13, The Daily Herald's centerpiece headline read "Giant Storm Leaves Trail of Death and Destruction."
Among the dead was Jack Wilson, 28, of Sultan, who was working on the Snohomish County Public Utility District's dam on the Sultan River. He died when a tree fell on the construction site. Four other men were hospitalized. Many of the storm deaths were from falling trees.
In Mountlake Terrace, police reported three burglaries during the storm. At the phone company office there, Utahna Munyon, now 79, was one of a dozen operators working that night.
"The police locked us in because of the danger just outside the office," she said. "Since we were there, we kept on working. The switchboard was lit up like a Christmas tree, with people reporting telephone lines down. All we could say was, 'Yes, we know.' We finally were relieved from duty on Sunday morning.
"I learned to cook in the fireplace, but I never want to go through a storm like that again."
The county sheriff's office and Everett police couldn't keep up with the high volume of calls. The numerous traffic accidents reported included cars blown into ditches.
The Mukilteo ferry stopped running. At Paine Field, airplanes were blown upside down. Fallen power lines caused fires, boats on the Everett waterfront were set adrift and the air raid tower atop Everett City Hall was blown down. People on Grand Avenue in north Everett mourned the loss of the city's oldest maple trees as they came crashing down one after another.
As if the storm itself wasn't enough, in Spanaway two backyard lions escaped from their pen. They attacked three people including a little boy and their owner, who had to have her pet lions shot. In Seattle, a woman claimed that during the storm lightning hurled a ball of fire into her kitchen and was so hot it cooked the two eggs she planned to use for baking.
In Ballard, John Meyer, now 83 and living in south Snohomish County, spend that Columbus day repairing power lines for Seattle City Light.
"We would get a wire up and a tree would come down and we'd start over. It was wild. I left the house at 3 p.m. that day and got home about four days later," said Meyer, who later worked for the Snohomish County PUD. "We've had some healthy storms since then, but nothing comes close to that Columbus Day storm."
At the Seattle World's Fair that day, Laurie Post, now 58, of Everett, remembers looking up at the Space Needle as it swayed slightly in the wind.
Nancy Mitchell, now 85, of Lake Stevens, had taken her sons, then 8 and 12, out of school for a last trip to the World's Fair. Throughout the summer she had declined to ride to the top of the Space Needle, blaming her reluctance on the long lines for the elevator instead of her fear of heights.
"On the day of the storm, of course, there were no lines. The boys said I had no excuse. At the top, I decided to call my mother. I asked her to guess where I was. 'Well, I hope you're at home,' she said, 'because there's a terrible storm coming.' Just then a guard knocked on the door of the phone booth and told us that if we didn't leave now, we would be walking down," Mitchell said. "I still don't like going up the Space Needle."
Jean Bochan still lives on Seattle Hill Road, which was a gravel road in 1962 and a busy Mill Creek area thoroughfare today.
Freelance loggers salvaged wood from many of the trees that blew own.
"An old Douglas fir took out the corner of our carport and we were without electricity and telephone for about a week," said Bochan, 73. "We were lucky. It was the worst storm I've ever been through. It just roared. That was a long time ago, but it could happen again."
While many people remember the fear and the destruction, some have humorous memories.
Joy Hunt of Lake Stevens was 23 that year. After attending a candlelight wedding in Granite Falls on the evening of the storm, she and her husband headed out. However, all the routes home were blocked by downed trees and crackling power lines.
"My husband saw a lantern glowing from a house. We knocked on the door and asked if we could stay the night. The lady there was about 90 years old. She was smoking, drinking shots of whiskey and playing solitaire. She made up her bed for us, but told us there was to be no hanky-panky," Hunt said. "We were up at dawn and left a $20 bill on her pillow on the couch. That was a lot of money back then."

Reporter Gale Fiege was only 5 years old on Oct. 12, 1962, but she remembers the roaring wind that blew down the fence her dad had built around their house in Mountlake Terrace. Several of her neighbors had Douglas firs crash through their houses. To contact Fiege: 425-339-3427 or email@example.com.

Understanding Bone Fractures -- the Basics
In this article
What Are Fractures?
A fracture is the medical term for a broken bone.
Fractures are common; the average person has two during a lifetime. They occur when the physical force exerted on the bone is stronger than the bone itself.
Understanding Bone Fractures
Find out more about bone fractures:
Your risk of fracture depends, in part, on your age. Broken bones are very common in childhood, although children's fractures are generally less complicated than fractures in adults. As you age, your bones become more brittle and you are more likely to suffer fractures from falls that would not occur when you were young.
There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are displaced, non-displaced, open, and closed. Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the way the bone breaks.
In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight. If the bone is in many pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture. In a non-displaced fracture, the bone cracks either part or all of the way through, but does move and maintains its proper alignment.
A closed fracture is when the bone breaks but there is no puncture or open wound in the skin. An open fracture is one in which the bone breaks through the skin; it may then recede back into the wound and not be visible through the skin. This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection.
Some fracture types are:
- A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type occurs most often in children.
- A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis.
- An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.
- A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.
- A buckled fracture, also known as an impacted fracture, is one whose ends are driven into each other. This is commonly seen in arm fractures in children.
- A pathologic fracture is caused by a disease that weakens the bones.
- A stress fracture is a hairline crack.
The severity of a fracture depends upon its location and the damage done to the bone and tissue near it. Serious fractures can have dangerous complications if not treated promptly; possible complications include damage to blood vessels or nerves and infection of the bone (osteomyelitis) or surrounding tissue. Recuperation time varies depending on the age and health of the patient and the type of fracture. A minor fracture in a child may heal within a few weeks; a serious fracture in an older person may take months to heal.
