Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Products
As an older bride who isn't into the whole "wedding deal", Magnet Street made it very easy for me to have all my products coordinated....was able to start with a theme/style for my Save the Dates and stuck with that all the way through the "ordeal", from my invite materials to menus for the reception. I found products on other sites that were a bit cheaper, but it was worth paying a little more at Magnet Street for the convenience of their site. Their color choices are almost endless so I was able to play with different shades of my color scheme. Overall pretty great experience, and would use them again!
Beautiful Beach Menu
I was very impressed with the quality of paper, the colors and the design. I am having a beach wedding and the menu design matched perfectly to the theme. I liked the fact that I was able to personalize my menu the way I wanted them to look. Magnet Street provided excellent customer service and kept me up to date on when the menus were completed and the estimated delivery date. Overall service-two thumbs way up!
Great Product, used differently
I needed a rehearsal dinner invitation to put inside the formal wedding invite and I used this menu card. The online design template allowed more freedom of design and it worked out great.
I used this as a rectangular invitation & it worked great!
I was very satisfied with the quality of the menu cards. They also shipped very fast!!! I also ordered my savethedate magnets here, and was very satisfied as well. The price and quality were just right, and the program was very user friendly so I could personalize the font, text, and colors to my wedding.

Women's Basketball Falls 67-66 on Last Second Layup by Queens
February 1, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Down by one with 19 seconds left, Queens University junior Marissa Hudley (Charlotte, NC) drove the lane and made the decisive layup as the Royals defeated Pfeiffer University 67-66 in Conference Carolinas womens basketball action on Monday night. Hudley led all players with 18 points and 10 rebounds as Queens improved to 10-8 overall, 9-4 in conference play. Pfeiffer sees their five-game win streak come to an end dropping to 10-8, 10-3.
After closing out the first half on a 12-2 run trailing by four at the break, Pfeiffer came out and quick erased the deficit on a Shelley Reese (Brown Summitt, NC) three-pointer. The Lady Falcons were down by 14 with just over four minutes remaining in the first half before finishing the initial period with the run and starting hot in the second to tie the contest in the first 29 seconds of period two.
The Royals went back on the attack with a 9-0 run before Pfeiffer cut it back to two with a pair of Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA) free throws at 13:45. After Hudleys basket three minutes later put Queens up six, the Lady Falcons again battled back taking the lead, 58-57, with 6:16 to go on a Celeste Caudill (Sparta, NC) triple. Outside of Jacquia Winsteads (Elm City, NC) layup, Pfeiffer will hold the lead until the final ticks of the clock.
Down by one, it was Domonique China (Durham, NC) who took the potential buzzer-beater just inside the three-point circle but misfired with three seconds left. The Lady Falcons went up three on three different occasions before Hudley hit the game-winner with 19 to go.
For Queens, Ashley McGuirt (Indian Trail, NC) followed Hudley with 13 points. Winstead finished with 11 while Jazmine Edmonds (Manassas, VA) concluded with 10. For the Lady Falcons, Charlotte Fuller (Moorestown, NJ) and Caudill finished with 14. Reese followed closely with 13.
The Lady Falcons will look to start another win streak with a pair of road games to finish out the first week of February. Pfeiffer will travel to Converse on Wednesday before heading down to Limestone on Saturday.

Tonight, TNT airs the last episode of King & Maxwell's first season. Should the cop series return for a second season or should it be cancelled instead? Is it a ratings hit? Cancel or keep it?
King & Maxwell takes place in Washington, DC and revolves around a pair of former Secret Service agents (Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn) who've become private eyes. Co-stars in the series include Ryan Hurst, Michael O'Keefe, and Chris Butler.
The show debuted on June 10th to 3.52 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was a very positive start. Viewership fell 21% in week two but climbed back upward in later weeks.
A couple weeks ago, King & Maxwell nearly matched its premiere with 3.39 million and a 0.5 demo rating.
While the new show isn't as popular as Major Crimes (4.82 million) or Rizzoli & Isles (5.66 million), it's nearly matching fellow TNT dramas Falling Skies and Perception (3.53 million apiece).
Though they haven't announced it yet, I suspect that TNT will bring King & Maxwell back for a second season.
But, what do you think? Does King & Maxwell deserve a second season? Or, should it be cancelled to make way for something else? Cancel or keep?

Interpretive Handbook
89090 :
Chromosome Analysis, CpG Mitogen Study for B-Cell Disorder
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Conventional chromosome studies of B-cell disorders are not always successful because B-cell lymphocytes do not proliferate well in cell culture. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an informative method to detect common B-cell-associated chromosome abnormalities, but FISH-based assays do not detect all abnormalities.
The agent CpG 7909 (CpG) is a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide that binds to the Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) present on B-cells, causing B-cell activation. In the laboratory setting, CpG may be used as a mitogen to stimulate B-cells in patient specimens, thus allowing identification of chromosome abnormalities.
Different disorders have differing levels of response to CpG. In one study, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and marginal zone lymphoma showed the strongest response, followed by small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and large cell lymphoma.
It is likely that CpG-stimulated chromosome analysis and FISH will be complementary tests. For example, about half of the 13q deletions seen in CLL and some lymphomas are microdeletions that are detectable by FISH, but not by conventional metaphase analysis.
CpG-stimulation reveals an abnormal karyotype in approximately 80% of patients with B-cell CLL, and the karyotype is complex in 20% to 25% of cases. Several studies have reported that increased genetic complexity revealed by CpG-stimulated chromosome studies confers a less favorable time to first treatment, treatment response, and overall survival.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Identifying chromosome abnormalities associated with B-cell disorders
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The abnormalities detected, as well as their known prognostic significance, will be provided in an interpretive report.
The presence of an abnormal clone usually indicates a malignant neoplastic process.
The absence of an apparent abnormal clone in blood may result from a lack of circulating abnormal cells.
On rare occasions, the presence of an abnormality may be associated with a congenital abnormality and, thus, would not be related to the malignant process. Follow-up with a medical genetics consultation is recommended.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Peripheral blood is preferred over bone marrow.
This test does not replace fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing as several abnormalities seen by FISH are cryptic (undetected) by conventional chromosome analysis; both FISH and chromosome analysis using CpG 7909 (CpG) cell culture techniques are recommended.
Interfering factors:
-Cell lysis caused by forcing blood quickly through the needle at collection
-Use of an improper anticoagulant (sodium heparin is best) or not mixing the blood with the anticoagulant
-Excessive transport time
-Exposure of the specimen to temperature extremes (freezing or >30 degrees C)
-Abnormalities may be missed due to statistical sampling error
-Subtle structural chromosome abnormalities may be missed (occasionally)
-Neoplastic cells not dividing or not circulating in the bloodstream
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
46,XX or 46,XY. No apparent chromosome abnormality.
An interpretive report will be provided.

What is it? a motorized file to get rid of calluses on your feet and leave them soft and ready for showing off
What does it claim? to give you salon beautiful feet in just minutes
Who tested it? Chesapeake mother of three Ashley Turley
What Are The Instructions? To get started, you first need to install 4 AA batteries. PediSpin has a Filing and Finishing plate. The Filing Plate is used for thicker, tougher callused skin and should not be used on normal skin. The Finishing Plate is used to smooth and buff rough edges left by the Filing Plate and to maintain soft, smooth skin in between Filing Plate use.
Attach the desired plate onto the PediSpin. Turn on the PediSpin. The motor speed can be adjusted from low to high. You should turn PediSpin on to the lowest setting, then gently place PediSpin on the desired area and move it in a circular motion until calluses / dry skin is removed. For thicker calluses you might want to choose the High setting for best results.
It's important to note that if you experience any pain or irritation, you should discontinue using the PediSpin.
If the Finishing Pad on your PediSpin needs to be replaced, just peel off the existing pad from the plate. Remove any residue left from the previous pad. Peel the paper on the new pad to expose the adhesive backing then center the new pad onto the plate.
PediSpin has a chamber in each Filing Plate to trap debris. To clean, separate the Filing Plate from the head to expose the chamber then tap debris in the garbage.
A cleaning brush comes with PediSpin. You can use it to remove debris from the plate and head. To reassemble, align the marking on the head with the marking on the Filing Plate and then press together.
You should store your PediSpin in a dry area with a cap on. If you're not going to use it for a long period of time you should remove the batteries.
Did it work? Turley was very impressed. She fully admits to being skeptical to most 'As seen on TV' products, but this one she says works! She rarely has time to pamper herself, so she liked how quickly and easily PediSpin allowed her to get her feet 'salon beautiful.'
Cost/Availability? You can purchase PediSpin at Bed Bath & Beyond for $14.99.
Additional Comments: A couple of things you need to know before using PediSpin. PediSpin is not recommended for diabetics. You need to move PediSpin continuously during use to avoid abrasion.
PediSpin is not a toy. You need to keep it away from children and away from your face while in use. Never clean PediSpin with water or liquid cleaners and never immerse it in water.

Originally built in Adelanto, CA, Cabo Yachts are sportfishing boats in express and convertible configurations, from 32 to 52 feet. Cabos have been long known for their excellent fit and finish, stout construction, and attention to detail. All are powered by inboard diesels, with some modern models being offered in pod drive configurations. These are yachts built and designed for the hands-on boater: enginerooms are designed for easy access and maintenance; wiring runs are labeled and loomed, and accessories are mounted and accessed in user-friendly positions. Cabo is also one of the few builders to invest a great deal in research and development, and regularly tank-tested multiple models before settling on hullforms and power options. In 2006 Cabo Yachts was acquired by the Brunswick Corporation, the world's largest boatbuilder.

You read it right and it was about time!
Boo 0.9.2 is mostly a maintainance release, yet it introduces a few new features worth highlighting :
- Unsafe code support including pointer manipulation for richer interoperability with native code [BOO-1202]
- Generic array/matrix constructors [BOO-1203]
- Literal regular expression options [BOO-1237]
- Boo now runs on medium-trust environments [BOO-1215] (such as Mosso ASP.NET platform)
On top of the usual bunch of bug fixes (see the ChangeLog), this release significantly improves generated IL, resulting in up to 40% leaner assemblies among other performance improvements.
Contributed to this release: Cedric Vivier, Daniel Grunwald, Dmitry Malyshev, Greg Nagel, Joao Braganca, Martinho Fernandes, Paul Lange and Rodrigo B. De Oliveira.

So the tournament at SL yesterday taught me that my shoes are completely inadequate for 36 holes on that type of elevation. I have some work boots that are actually great, but they're for the winter, so as the weather gets warmer it will kill me to wear them.
What types of shoes do you guys wear? I was thinking maybe tennis (the actual sport, not the generic term) shoes or hiking shoes? Trail runners? Obviously I have no idea... recommendations? Water proof/resistant would be nice, but isn't 100% required.

LOVE THIS!!!! I have 2 of these and now ordering one for my 10 year old. Have this item in hot pink and bright yellow... OR makes the best, practical and most durable outdoor wear. At home at 8000ft these take a lot of abuse and still look great after 3 and 4 seasons. I love the band adjustment and chin strap. I often get compliments from other hikers too! This hat is a great mix of coverage without being too hot or bulky and it will float long enough to be retrieved .... defiantly a go to for water or mountain days
Love this hat! Provides ample shade without being so big that it knocks over innocent bystanders. Chin cord and crown adjuster keep the hat firmly in place on windy days, and it is nice and light and cool. Super comfortable, and the dark fabric on the underside of the brim works well to reduce glare. Overall I am very pleased with this hat...in fact I can't even think of anything that would make it better.
OR is always the best for hats and this is no different! Huge wide brim, and there's a toggle to adjust the snugness around your head. The sand color is really a light khaki color, although on my screen it had appeared a bit more like a cream or light canvas color. It's lightweight and water beads up on it, so it will be decent in the rain as well. The vibe is more practical than glam, but still cute with a swimsuit (or so I tell myself).
This hat provides full coverage. Used for kayaking and hiking and the hat provided constant shade and light rain protection. To provide full coverage, the hat brim is very large. When worn in urban areas, sometimes the wide brim was too big in very crowded situations. A quality hat.
I really like this hat - bought it for field camp in the summer! It has full coverage, a wide brim and a nice chin strap for security. The material is awesome and it is so lightweight!It also has an element of style- something that is missing in most geology hats!
You know, I'm not a hat girl- I strongly believe in sunblock and skipping the hat HOWEVER this hat is AWESOME!!!! I'm going kayaking next week just to wear it out on the lake!!! I bought the blue one and it looks awesome with blue eyes! lol It's comfortable and non invasive but gets the job done with out looking like a dork! Moosejaw has made me a hat convert!
I love this hat, great for canoeing, gardening, beach. Be careful on breezy days to keep the chin straped sinched, the hat can become a sail and fly away. It does leave funny tan lines on your shoulders and back if your at the beach.
Great for sun protection. I wore this hat while rowing/instructing on the scorching CO and UT desert rivers and enjoyed staying cool and NOT completely fried by the sun. The hat also repells rain well.

Downfall: Wind gusts tend to immediately remove the hat from your head. Cinching the drawstring helped, but usually I had to take off the sombrero.

Final Score: Tulsa 45, Tulane 10
Tulsa, OK (Sports Network) - Alex Singleton ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, as the Tulsa Golden Hurricane opened their Conference USA schedule with a 45-10 rout over Tulane at Chapman Stadium.
Cody Green threw for 274 yards and two TDs to help the Golden Hurricane (1-1, 1-0 C-USA) rebound from last week's season-opening loss to Iowa State. All told, Tulsa racked up 31 first downs and 651 yards of total offense for the game.
Ryan Grant was one of the few bright spots for the Green Wave (0-2, 0-1), as he finished with five catches for 109 yards and a score. Tulane, which finished with a mere 177 total yards, has now lost 12 in a row dating back to last season.
There was a scary moment on the final play of the first half when Tulane safety Devon Walker suffered a broken neck and collapsed lung during a collision with a teammate. According to multiple reports, Walker stopped breathing and was revived by emergency medical workers who performed CPR and a tracheotomy. He is currently in the emergency and trauma center at nearby Saint Francis Hospital, and the team's Twitter page reported that Walker was in stable condition.
Tulane grabbed an early 3-0 lead on a 49-yard field goal by Cairo Santos midway through the first quarter, capping a 12-play, 58-yard drive that ate up six and a half minutes.
From there, it was all Tulsa. Singleton gave the Golden Hurricane a 7-3 lead on a two-yard run with just under three minutes to play in the opening frame. Singleton scored again on a one-yard plunge with 24 seconds to play in the first quarter.
Tulsa would tack on three more touchdowns in the second quarter to take a commanding 35-3 lead into the half. Green accounted for two of those TDs, tossing a 74-yard scoring strike to Thomas Roberson and a 16-yarder to Jordan James. Singleton notched his third rushing score of the day on a two-yard run with 4:48 to play until halftime.
Tulsa continued to pad its lead in the second half. After a scoreless third quarter, the Golden Hurricane made it a 42-3 game on Kalen Henderson's five- yard touchdown scamper midway through the final frame. Tulane followed up a 45-yard field goal from Tulsa's Daniel Schwarz with its only touchdown of the game, as Devin Powell connected with Grant for a 66-yard scoring strike late in regulation.
Tulane ran the ball 29 times and finished with only seven rushing yards. Meanwhile, Tulsa churned out 364 yards and four TDs on the ground.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for or diagnose a chlamydia infection
When to Get Tested?
For screening: may be recommended if you are sexually active, pregnant or considering pregnancy, or at increased risk for this sexually transmitted disease (STD)
For diagnosis: when you have symptoms of this STD, such as such as vaginal discharge and abdominal pain (for women) or unusual discharge from the penis or pain on urination (for men); when a newborn has conjunctivitis
Sample Required?
A swab or brush of cells or secretion from the infected area or a first-catch urine sample
Test Preparation Needed?
Tell your health care provider about use of antibiotics or, for women, douches or vaginal creams within 24 hours before testing vaginal samples, as they may affect test results. You may be instructed to wait one to two hours after you last urinated before collecting a urine sample. Follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test is looking for evidence of infection by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States and is especially common among people 15 to 25 years of age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 2.8 million Americans are infected with chlamydia each year and notes that women are frequently re-infected if their partners don't get treatment. Actual incidence may be higher since many people do not experience any symptoms and their cases go undiagnosed and unreported. Still, over one million new cases are reported each year. Diagnosing and treating chlamydia is very important to prevent long-term complications and spread of the infection to others.
Chlamydia is generally transmitted through sexual contact (oral, vaginal, or anal) with an infected partner. Risk factors include having multiple sex partners, coinfection or previous infection with another STD, and not using barrier contraception consistently. An infected mother can pass the infection to her baby during childbirth. These babies are in danger of developing conjunctivitis, an inflammation that can threaten eyesight, and pneumonia.
About 75% of infected women and 50% of infected men have no symptoms; some may experience only mild symptoms. For women, symptoms, if they occur, include bleeding between menstrual periods and after sexual intercourse, abdominal pain, painful intercourse, and an abnormal vaginal discharge. For men, symptoms include pus or milky discharge from the penis and inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) or of the rectal area (proctitis). Both sexes can experience painful or frequent urination.
Chlamydia is easily treated with a course of antibiotics, but if left untreated, it can cause severe reproductive and other health problems. If left untreated, women may develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) from infections that start on the cervix but that can spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This can cause infertility and increase the risk of tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, which is often fatal. Women who are infected and pregnant may experience heavy bleeding before delivery and premature rupture of the membranes. Men may become sterile. Both sexes may develop rectal itching and red, swollen, itchy eyes.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Many different kinds of samples may be used for testing, but not all laboratories can test every kind of sample. A health practitioner may use a swab or brush to collect a sample of cells or secretion from the infected area, such as the urethra, penis, anus, throat, cervix or vagina. Sometimes a vaginal sample may be collected with a swab by the woman who is undergoing testing (self-collection). A first-catch urine sample may be collected in a container provided by the health practitioner or laboratory.
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?
Tell your health care provider about use of antibiotics or, if you are a woman, douches or vaginal creams within 24 hours before testing vaginal samples, as they may affect test results. You may be instructed to wait one to two hours after you last urinated before collecting a urine sample. Follow any instructions you are given.

Mabe, 22, died of a gunshot wound on Aug. 23, 2011.
An argument sparked the shooting that left Mabe dead outside a home on Brown Street in Gastonia just before 2 a.m., according to police.
An attorney for Hughes has said the dispute was the result of a robbery. The prosecutor says it was likely fallout from a drug deal.
Investigators say Hughes was leaving in a car when he fired a handgun several times.
Gaston County Police took Hughes into custody.
He was charged with second-degree murder, but a grand jury later bumped up the offense to first-degree murder.
Hughes made a $175,000 bond two months after his arrest. But his release came with conditions.
A judge ordered Hughes to be on 24-hour GPS monitoring.
The tracking ankle bracelet was to ensure he abided by terms similar to house arrest. He was only to leave his home for court, doctor appointments or work.
According to court officials, Hughes did not abide by the rules. He was picked up in April and jailed for failing to comply with conditions of his release.
Hughes has remained behind bars since, and celebrated a birthday in jail last week.
Since February of this year, he has been charged with failing to appear in court, possession of a stolen firearm and larceny.
Gaston County Assistant District Attorney Eddie Meeks will prosecute the case, and Rick Beam will defend Hughes.
During a previous hearing, Beam said Hughes, Mabe and Jimmy David Wright were together the night of the shooting.
Beam told the court Wright robbed Hughes and that shots were fired as Hughes backed his car out of a driveway.
Meeks said that the incident was likely a drug deal gone wrong.
Wright was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon as a result of the clash. He was later found guilty of assault by pointing a gun.
Hughes, Mabe and Wright all have criminal records.
And while each has served time behind bars, Hughes will spend the rest of his life in prison if he is convicted of first-degree murder.
Jury selection begins Monday, and attorneys estimate the trial will last about a week.

Bronx resident Raul Sanchez has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a major dog fighting operation.
Sanchez, who harbored 50 dogs in a Bronx apartment building basement, was arrested in June and indicted in July on multiple charges related to animal fighting, aggravated cruelty to animals, and possession of a weapon. He faces one to three years in prison. If granted parole, Sanchez would be prohibited from owning animals during the length of his parole. He could also face deportation to his native Cuba after his sentence is served.
In 2012, ASPCA responders assisted the NYPD in the investigation and rescue of the dogs, who were suffering in cramped cages in a dark and dingy basement. The room included a makeshift fighting arena with capacity for dozens of spectators. The dogs were transferred to a temporary shelter, where they received care from ASPCA's veterinary staff and were evaluated by the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team.
We're working nonstop to combat the cruel practice of animal fighting nationwide, and we're making progress. Earlier this week, legislators reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to an animal fight.
Please join us in our efforts by asking your own House representative to support this important humane legislation.
Need tougher penalties. Put this guy in prison for life.
They should get the name of all the people that attended this hedious cruel despicable acts and prosecute the. With high penalties, jail time in a tiny cell and maker them as unfit abusive animals subject never allow to own a pet for life!,,,
If he is here illegally, why not just send him back to Cuba? Why are we going to spend our tax money feeding, clothing, housing and guarding him for the next one to three years and then let him out to do it again? Prisons do not change people. He will be just as cruel and heartless when he gets out as he is now, and he will still be here on our soil breaking the law and causing pain and suffering to innocent animals. Send him home to be a criminal in Cuba. I hear their prisons are not nearly as comfy as ours are.
Man...we can't do nothing about these stupid people in this world...but the animals we can save.........lets step up forreal!!
HIP HIP HOOOORAY!!! Thank you, ASPCA, for your tireless efforts on behalf of animals.
How many of these dogs were euthanized??? I would hope none. Please let us know.
This sadden me about this breed.I own a Pit Bull and he is the most loving Pit Bull not what most people think or feel about this breed. People make them out to be monsters. Its not their fault.The monster is the human their owner who gets a thrill to see their dog fighting. Who get a thrill to see blood. these people need to be put behind bars. Their low lives no education no compassion no brain.What is going to happen to these dogs the 50 of them. I understand some of them can't be adopted because they must be aggessive. Their monster owner made them that way. At least the young dogs should have a chance to be adopted please.
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!!!! I agree if he's Cuban he should go back to Cuba let Fidel take care of him .Let him go back there and starve.
YEP,,, shoot him!!!!!! I will be happy to and also people who abus children, and any other person who abuses animals.
Hi everybody.. I am currently enrolled in a social sciences course where I am writing a research paper on animal cruelty. Would you all be so kind as to take my survey, it would be greatly appreciated!

More than 30 people gathered for the first of several Moral Monday inspired demonstrations being held on Mondays near Jacksonville City Hall.
Chants of "What do we want when they mess with the poor? We fight! We fight! We fight!" could be heard along New Bridge Street in downtown Jacksonville Monday evening.
Among the protestors was Gail Pointe of Jacksonville.
"We need more jobs. Everyone is saying 'jobs, jobs, jobs' but no one is making that happen. And women's rights, we don't have any anymore," said Pointe, whose sign read "Income inequities = immorality."
Pointe said she heard about the demonstrations through the news and fliers, among other things, and opted to join "just to support."
"Some of us have jobs and some of us are retired, but so many don't have jobs and they'd be so grateful for a chance. But who wants to work for less than hourly wage?" she asked.
Buddy Hobbs, also of Jacksonville, was there to share a message that he believes will solve all problems, including the economy.
"If everyone had Jesus, everything would be fine," he said.
Hobbs, carrying a sign that read "Jesus is still the answer," said that he and a few friends from The Prayer Barn in Jacksonville opted to join the demonstration after hearing about it.
"If they can advertise Marlboro cigarettes or Budweiser beer, we can advertise the Savior," he said.
Protest signs included messages such as "Increase minimum wage," "We march for jobs and freedom," "Equal pay for equal work," and "This is what democracy looks like."
While the demonstrators chanted and waved their signs, some debated issues such as abortion, the death penalty and stand your ground laws.
But Monday's protest kept its focus on equality.
"There ought to be equality in all aspects of government especially in pay," said Greg Humphrey of Richlands.
Humphrey said that he was at the demonstration for those who could not be, including family members who are teachers.
"I believe that all people ought to get a good salary," he said. Humphrey said that while the country's leaders are concerned about American children falling behind those of other countries, they are slashing the pay of teachers.
And while area government officials are primarily Republican, the retired 31-year federal firefighter believes that "they still represent all people."
Carolyn Bryan, the chairwoman of the Onslow County Democratic Party, said that she was glad to see so many people join the demonstration at the corner of New Bridge Street and Bayshore Boulevard and hopes to see more come out next week.
"A lot of people see the need just like we do," she said. "It's all about equality."
The demonstrations will be held each Monday from 5 to 6 p.m. through October.
Next week's demonstration will focus on education concerns.
For more information, contact Bryan at 910-545-0301.

In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there.
Five years ago: Arkansas television anchorwoman Anne Pressly, 26, died five days after she was found beaten in her home.

Freeholders' Records
Freeholders' records are lists of people entitled to vote, or of people who voted, at elections. A freeholder was a man who owned his land outright (in fee) or who held it by lease which could be for one or more lives (for example, his own life or for the lives of other people named in the lease). From 1727 to 1793 only Protestants with a freehold worth at least 40 shillings a year were legally permitted to vote. Between 1793 and 1829 both Protestants and Catholics with 40 shilling freeholds could vote, but in 1829 the franchise level was increased to 10 pounds, so 40 shilling freeholders were no longer allowed to vote. This last measure increased the influence of landlords by effectively confining membership of Parliament to the propertied or monied classes.
Before the 1872 Ballot Act introduced the secret ballot, voters were required to stand up and declare publicly their electoral allegiance. Their fear of going against the landlords' wishes resulted in a substantial number of candidates returned being either landlords or their relations or supporters.
PRONI's freeholders project entailed the digitisation of c.5,500 sheets from pre-1840 Registers and Poll Books, and the provision of an index of names linked to the high-quality digitised images. This allows for more flexible navigation and readier access to a unique resource for family and local history. It is hoped that on-line access will encourage a wider and more inclusive audience, especially those who are unable to visit PRONI in person.
The scarcity of documentary sources for the 18th and early 19th centuries, partly because of the non-existence of census material and partly due to the destruction in 1922 of most of the public records of Ireland, made it necessary to seek substitutes for the destroyed records and to make them accessible for research. Freeholders' Registers and Poll Books are one such substitute resource and are, therefore, of particular value to historians, perhaps for analysing voting patterns or the strength of the tenant electorate on estates.
PRONI's freeholders records come from a variety of sources and are arranged on a county basis. They comprise two main types:
- Registers - details of those who had registered to vote
- Poll Books - lists of voters and the candidates for whom they voted
Freeholders' records provide a range of information about land ownership and may contain all or some of the following:
Name of freeholder, Address of freeholder, Location of freehold, Description of freehold, Name of landlord, Address of landlord, Value of freehold, Names of other lives, Date and place of freeholder's registration, Occupation of freeholder, Religion of freeholder.
Some of the records survive in their original form, while some are transcripts. Some are in manuscript while others are printed or typed.
PRONI's digitisation of the Freeholders' Records aims to improve access to this valuable archival resource, made all the more important by the lack of census returns for the period. The paper records were scattered throughout various archives and were tedious to use without an index. On-line access to the material should greatly facilitate genealogical and historical research into the pre-1840 period.

Nice update. Cant believe no one else has commented yet, try and go out and crit others works as well. Not just the awesome artists but the artists that need help, because they will appreciate your thoughts and give some in return. This last piece is really cool, would like to see more rendering to it.

Nice, very dynamic figures. Have you ever tried shading?
March 25th, 2007 #9
nice characters... but I should agree with Troll Skelking... you need to shade them... if you do that, they'll be just great... keep up the good work...
March 25th, 2007 #10
Looking flowing!
Maybe try and see what you can do with the line weights - right now they seem pretty thin/random.
March 26th, 2007 #11
hey guys thanks for the nice comments I am glad you like the sketches and I will post some more soon
March 26th, 2007 #12
the concepts are really nice but i think that you should always add lightin and shadow to pictures so you see how they look with so sort of world around them
March 26th, 2007 #13
Awesome concepts you've clearly got a good handle on the human figure. I'd love to see more fully rendered pieces. Keep posting!

Hey thanks for checking out my sb!
Your work is awesome! The rendering style of lots of directional lines of different weight and density really defines your forms nicely! That last one of the woman kneeling - while the pose seems awfully hard to hold (keeping so upright while squatting) it looks incredibly well done. Especially around the anatomy of the knees which are kind of the focal point of that piece. Nicely done.
It would be cool to see more finished pieces if you have any...

C'mon man. You need to post more sketches. I picked up a few things just from these alone.
My SketchBook http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=139784
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=192127"Everything must serve the idea. The means used to convey the idea should be the simplest and clear. Just what is required. No extra images. To me this is a universal principle of art. Saying as much as possible with a minimum of means."-John Huston, Director
February 7th, 2008 #30
Thanks for stopping by and the good words too all of you guys!
Actually there are no traditional media pieces in my sb. I feel pretty comfortable with the pc (it is cleaner etc.) so when I draw at home I prefer to use it instead of anything else.
And yeah I am 20 right now and I feel kinda old but it can't be helped
I will post some more sketches soon so stay tuned
Thanks again for visiting !

This is a type of tropical cyclone that includes severe thunderstorms and wind speeds of 74 miles per hour or more. The wind speed is the key in determining if the weather system is a hurricane, a tropical storm or tropical depression.
Click for more
Hurricanes form with the help of warm water and a high level of moisture in the atmosphere. The warm water heats the air as low pressure winds form in the center, and allows for thunderstorms to form as the warm air rises due to the heat. As hurricanes move north, and thus over larger landmasses, they lose their source of energy — warm water — and slowly dissipate.
Hurricanes in the western hemisphere are named on a rotating male-female basis, with the names of particularly devastating hurricanes retired from future lists. Naming hurricanes came about to assist in both tracking hurricanes, especially in the case of multiple storms, but also easily relaying information to the public.
In the event of a hurricane, putting shutters over the windows, clearing the yard of any furniture that may be blown into the home and preparing a supply of water are all necessary steps. If an evacuation order has been declared, follow it. A hurricane preparedness brochure from the state or local government should have more details on this.
