Customer Raves & Reviews
Adorable & Quaint
I've come to Magnet Street for almost 100% of my stationary. They have never disappointed! :) The table tents, menu cards, & escort cards that I recently purchased are a beautiful and quaint finishing touch to our wedding. I personalized everything from colors down to the font and I love it. The quality of the paper looks and feels beautiful. And though our wedding isn't here quite yet, both my family & fiance agree that Magnet Street stationary is lovely.
Wedding 2012
The quality of all the items that we brought was top notch. The paper looks like linen, and the weight is very nice. Ordered items from other web sites and the paper quality was flemsy. The color was spot on, and we could not be happier. The price point was also great, and we took advantage of a 20% discount offered by the company. If I had 1 wish it would be the table cards were bigger. Otherwise very happy!
Perfect table accent
My fiancé and I were pleasantly surprised when we saw the table cards! The cards are the perfect size and the numbers were large and clear enough for everone to see without being overwhelming. They surpassed our expectations and to top it off, they were delivered earlier than expected. We can't wait to get back in and design our menus and programs. They sent us a discount card with the order that will definitely be used. Thank you Magnet Street!
We were pleased with the table numbers.
The cards were exactly as they appeared on the web site, they fit our decor and they were delivered when promised.
Beautiful card
This is a perfect size for my centerpieces, i highly recommend these table numbers they are very elegant.

Atheism is a lack of belief. Agnosticism is a lack of knowledge. Therefore, some people reject the idea that they belong on the same spectrum. They say it's like comparing apples to oranges. Others reject the very idea of using labels to describe negatives. This may be good points, but let's assume these labels and the spectrum in a practical sense for the purpose of refuting popular arguments.
Is atheism arrogant, claiming practical certainty similar to a religion? I think not because of 3 problems with the god thesis.
1) As Sam Harris basically said, it is unfalsifiable and there are an infinite number of wild speculations that can be thought up which can't be tested:
2) The "the onus is on the theist" adage is encompassed by the statement, "You are never called upon to prove a negative." Ayn Rand said:
You are never called upon to prove a negative. It is a law of logic.
(It should be noted that she says she concluded god doesn't exist because of this. I disagree with that but I posted the video because of the "law of logic" part.)
3) Most importantly, the god thesis can only be self-contradictory or explaining by saying designers have infinitely designed designers (the old infinite regress rebuttal). Posting a designer to answer questions about the universe raises precisely the same questions it attempts to answer. If one is consistent, will they posit yet another designer to explain the same questions it raises?
How seriously should an unfalsifiable, self-contradictory claim with no evidence be taken? Functional atheism, when an atheist admits it's technically possible, is not arrogant, faith-based, or less logical than something like 50/50 agnosticism. Functional atheists don't claim to know everything about the origins of the universe, contrary to a popular assumption among deists/theists.
Of course, these points could be conceded, and then people could always play the reductive pantheism word game (by defining "god" all sorts of atypical ways that run contrary to consensus). For this reason, it may help to request someone define god before mentioning these points.

View from the Stands (12/09/2013)
by Eric Arnold, Knoxville Raceway Track Historian, Blogger, & Twitter Commentator
An interview with Russ Hall
Like most racers, Russ Hall comes from a racing family. His grandfather was Bert Sonner, brother of Knoxville Raceway Hall of Famer Gil Sonner. Bert was killed in a racing accident at Knoxville in 1974. Russ is 33 years old, a husband, and a father of three children. He has been racing a sprint car for seven seasons now, but growing up he raced go-karts and was the kid listening in the corner while the old guys talked in the race shop. He has won two 360 features at Knoxville and has three career wins with the Sprint Invaders, and this year they won the Sprint Invaders series championship. It was time to catch up with this guy after a successful 2013 season.
EA: When did you first start racing?
RH: I began racing in go-karts when I was 8 years old in Des Moines at the fairgrounds in the dome. I raced go-karts all the way through high school.

Growing up in Kinston, Dana King never considered being in a pageant, but thanks to the persistence of Kinston High School's drama teacher, the late Oran K. Perry, she competed and won the title of Miss Kinston 1977.
"I did it for the experience, but I had no idea I would win," King said Wednesday, reminiscing of late November of 1976, when she was crowned.
King, now Lenoir County's elections director and treasurer of the Miss Kinston-Lenoir County Association, is in Las Vegas this week with Jessica Barwick Murphy, another former Miss Kinston-Lenoir County — the Miss Kinston competition became Miss Kinston-Lenoir County during the 1990s — and other supporters of Arlie Honeycutt, the former Miss Kinston-Lenoir County 2012 and current Miss North Carolina.
Honeycutt, a native of Garner and a junior at ECU, is competing for the title of Miss America. The contestants, representing 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, will be going through a variety of preliminary competitions this week, including swimsuit, talent, an on-stage question and more.
The top scorers in the preliminary rounds advance to the final round Saturday, which will air live at 9 p.m. on ABC.
Winning the scholarship pageant gave then-18-year-old King an opportunity to travel "around the whole county, really, meeting people I may not have really ever had the chance or the occasion to meet."
She said she had never participated in any drama classes when Perry encouraged her to compete in Miss Kinston toward the end of her senior year at KHS.
Perry ran a number of arts programs in Kinston and Lenoir County, and served as director and chairman of the Miss Kinston-Lenoir County competition.
King researched a potential talent, and decided to take on ventriloquism. She purchased a record to teach her how to speak without moving her lips, and a doll which she named "Aunt Eva," after her mother Eva.
King said she competed in the Miss North Carolina pageant in June of 1977, but did not win.
"I had a wonderful time the whole year, big support from my family," she said.
King added: "That's why I'm trying so hard to get people on the (Miss Kinston-Lenoir County) committee to get sponsorships to keep it going because I had such a good experience. I want other girls in our area to have the same experience."
Murphy, currently the executive director of the Miss Kinston-Lenoir County pageant and wife of Kinston Mayor B.J. Murphy, said her win "made me into the person I am today."
She competed for Miss Kinston-Lenoir County in late 2001, when she was a first-year student at Lenoir Community College.
"I'm a behind-the-scenes kind of person," she said Wednesday. "I'm introverted by nature, so it made me come out of my shell and open up."
Murphy said she also competed in the 2002 Miss N.C. pageant, and recalled being sheltered with her fellow contestants at Peace College in Raleigh.
"You have no access to the outside world — no cell phone, no computer, you're completely sheltered," she said. "You rehearse all day every day until the pageant begins."
Murphy also talked about the experience of being in Las Vegas as Miss America gets underway.
"The Miss America stage by itself is just amazing to see, so the whole atmosphere is wonderful," she said.

"End-to-end system development with Simulink has streamlined our current design flow. We found virtually all bugs before hardware prototyping using Simulink and Mentor Graphics, and this cut development time in half."
Chie Sato, Yokogawa Electric Corporation
The expansion of broadband communication and multichannel digital television broadcasting has intensified the demand for high-speed networks. The routers, switches, and other networking technologies currently available do not function well at higher speeds. One solution is the optical packet network, a system in which data is transmitted over fiber optic lines as pulses of light.
It will be several years before the first of these networks is available, but Yokogawa® Electric Corporation has already developed two key optical network components. One is an ultra-high-speed optical switching device that helps prevent bottlenecks by enabling signals in optical circuits to be switched from one circuit to another. The other is an optical packet transmitter/receiver, known as Optical Media Manager, that provides an interface between the optical packet network and conventional networks.
Using MathWorks products and Model-Based Design, Yokogawa Electric reduced development time and costs by thoroughly testing these devices before prototyping them.
"End-to-end system development with Simulink® has streamlined our current design flow," says Yokogawa development team manager Chie Sato. "We found virtually all bugs before hardware prototyping using Simulink and Mentor Graphics® ModelSim®, and this cut development time in half."
Yokogawa Electric's optical packet switch would switch the packet's transfer route, "read" its label to determine its destination, and provide buffering and scheduling to prevent packet collision. The Optical Media Manager would work as a gateway between an optical packet network and Ethernet. It would provide functions for optical packet generation, reception, and labeling.
Development would focus on two key components of the system: a multiplexer/demultiplexer for packet data and error- correction code.
Yokogawa Electric would be designing the control logic and the hardware in parallel, reducing development time, but also increasing the risk of unexpected software problems during hardware prototyping.
The team needed software that would enable them to design, simulate, and test the control design with the hardware and implement it on FPGAs. They also needed to change specs during development without recoding, and to test the control software before prototyping.
Yokogawa Electric modeled the multiplexer/demultiplexer and the error-correction code in Simulink and used Stateflow® to model the optical packet switch's control circuit specifications, packet data traffic, and packet scheduling. After converting the components manually into HDL, they used Mentor Graphics ModelSim to verify the control specifications. The engineers shared the Simulink model as they verified their HDL code.
Similarly, they developed the algorithm of the end-to-end Optical Media Manager in MATLAB® and Simulink, designed each processing component individually with HDL, and integrated all components in the Simulink environment with HDL Verifier™. Using Fixed-Point Designer™, they converted the model from floating point to fixed point and then simulated the entire system under various conditions to verify its behavior.
"By using Simulink to simulate our model, we verified the processing functionalities of the FPGA and determined the cause of design errors better than before," Sato explains.
The first version of the optical packet switch and Optical Media Manager were released on time and within budget.
Yokogawa Electric is now developing new versions of these components, again using MathWorks products and Model-Based Design. They plan to use MathWorks tools to develop 40 Gbps optical packet network systems focusing on LAN applications.
To develop optical network devices for next-generation optical networks
Use MathWorks tools to develop the scheduling control system of an optical packet switch and to design and verify the signal processing algorithm of an optical media manager

Tales of Digby & Casper Chapter 2
Digby, Chapter 2
My favorite guest quote - Vicky, a frequent visitor had studied him for several moments, she very seriously said "Digby when I look into your eyes I can see all the way to Cincinnati". This about sums it up. Digby is largely primal, he lives to eat and mark his territory and is lost without a buddy to follow. After Santo died, we knew we had to find another to lead the way. He would walk outside and look around with no idea what to do or where to go.
One afternoon a guest came to the patio gate to check-in. As always Santo and Digby were there to greet her and be introduced. I began by telling her Santo was old and indifferent, Digby was happy to see her but she shouldn't expect much from him, because he is not very bright. She seemed offended by my Digby description and asked for more explanation. I momentarily was lost for another, perhaps more complimentary adjective and decided to give her an example by explaining that there had never been any success in teaching him to use the doggie door. At the time we had taken in three cats that loved to cause a ruckus, purposely causing a chase which would result in all going through the pet door, including Santo. Digby would be at the tail end and when all had escaped through the door he would screech to a stop, turn, look at me and seemingly ask, "Where did they all go?" She handed me her business card - a dog whisperer. She said she could train him to use the doggie door within fifteen minutes; it was the easiest of all things to teach a dog. I had always thought so until Digby came along. The offer to her was if she was successful her stay at Cinnamon Morning would be comped, it would have been so worth it. I gave her about a pound of treats to use, Digby Bait. Thirty minutes later she sheepishly handed me her credit card. She probably thought her reputation was at risk. Hopefully she was reassured after a day or two observing Digby that she was not lacking in expertise.
My sense of Digby is he would prefer to make you happy but he simply does not know what you want. Then there are the other times. Does he really care, in the least, what you want?

America's Newest Airline: Skybus
[Editor's note: In April 2008 Skybus stopped all flights and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Commentators are speculating about whether it was a defect in their business model or poor management that led to the airline's collapse. They are also speculating about whether the so-called 'Ryanair' model, based on the European low-fare airline, can work in the US.]
The nation's newest air carrier, Columbus, Ohio-based Skybus Airlines took off May 22, 2007 with the first flights of their A-319 air busses. The company hopes to have the success of European carrier Ryanair.
Skybus provides low prices for airline tickets and low taxes and fees, as well. And they promise that apart from their usually inexpensive fares they have at least ten seats on every flight priced at $10 one-way. This is before taxes, bringing it to $20.80, after collecting September 11 Security Fees, Passenger Facility charge, and US Flight Segment tax.
Automating Everything
Although their flights are inexpensive, nothing is included with the flight. Overpriced food, drink, blankets, and pillows are charged per item. This is great for those that do not care to eat or drink throughout their flight, but is unfortunate for those on longer flights during meal times.
Food is not allowed on board, "unless you brought enough for the whole plane" the website explains.
No Phone
This system is understandable for a business just starting out, especially in this era where machines are slowly ruling the world. However, I can only predict the issues soon to arise from customers having flight issues or questions and not having the ability to deal with it efficiently by communicating with someone directly.

We haven't done it, but many bully friends have. They shorten their elongated palettes and sometimes widen their nostrils. From what I know it is a simple procedure and most bullies don't have any side effects. Good LuckSo i heard there is a surgery you can get for a bulldog to help them with there breathing in the long run. I heard you can get it done when you have your bulldog fixed.

However.....I like the Pelicans name more than the rest I've heard and I did like the logo/uniform the guy made. My biggest issue is I don't see the importance of a name change but hey I didn't chip in on that 300 mill Benson spent either
However.....I like the Pelicans name more than the rest I've heard and I did like the logo/uniform the guy made. My biggest issue is I don't see the importance of a name change but hey I didn't chip in on that 300 mill Benson spent either
Surprisingly the Pelican design that I think looks like a baby's nursery decor won an ESPN poll a few months back.
For a logo that men would be wearing, I'd prefer the bird to look more like this.... similar to that LSU pelican logo.
So why are we not going with Brass? Just cuz some guy out there still owns the naming rights from the old hockey team? Is this about money?!? It's a no brainer as a name along with the jersey mods BigDub did. Would it be possible to start a movement for the fans to have a say in the team naming? I almost made a ton of those yellow Brass shirts last year to sell them for dirt cheap at the arena but we decided it wasn't wise with the Hornets legal lurking. (can't use hornets themes or fonts)
If we become the Pelicans my buddies are gonna send me memes with our mascot covered in crude every time we lose. Come on man we gotta have a say in this.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine has stayed the same since the beginning. Id rather keep Hornets than get some crazy nickname for the sake of just having it changed. I've had season tickets since 2006. I've earned my opinion and I don't need a name/Shinn cleanse to support the team. Yes if they can find a nice New Orleans name I would love it, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
The color scheme and unis could save the name "Pelicans". I understand Tom wants something of meaning for the name and "Pelicans" fits that. It will just take some getting used to that's all. I just hope the logo, color scheme and unis are on point.
$5 says they'll be black and gold... everything else about the new organization is Saint-ish.
Everyone complained about Angles/Cardinals, which I understood b/c they really didn't connect with the city. Now, we hear a really NOLA/Southern Louisiana and people still complain? Disappointing...I hope the folks w/ the team don't read this board anymore.
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
Lafcadio Hearn (Inventing New Orleans: Writings of Lafcadio Hearn)
If they read the forum, know that no team name will have 100% approval. It's not possible. I think Krewe of New Orleans is awesome. But people on Tiger Droppings lambast the name to high heaven. To each their own...
But make no mistake, Hornets has to go. Vaya con Dios, Avispón.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Charlotte Slobcats All-Time Records (11 Total Seasons)-- 50-win seasons:0, losing seasons:9, playoff series wins:0, division titles: 0, identity theft: 1.
I've never been as big of a Voodoo fan as I am now. I refuse to call this team the Pelicans. At this point we might as well just name them the New Orleans, Louisiana.
Seems people are taking this to be absolute confirmation. It's still just rumor.
Speaking of rumor or a coincidence is the silence of Dub of late.
I wonder how long it took Washington fans to stop saying Bullets. They eventually got over it I assume.
Well after a few years you really have no other choice but to "get over it"
If BigDub's involved at all, then at the very least the logo and jerseys will be top quality.

Again, IANAL, but it may be in Anthony's best interests to create a corporation or LLC or something so that if something does happen and he is taken to court, his personal assets are protected.
Officers of corporations can still have substantial personal liability. My understanding is that where a corporation really does provide meaningful liability protection is for investors who are not actively involved in directing the operations of the corporation, but in that case the officers are still held responsible. Even then, the investors can lose everything they invested, but not any more than that. (The Berkshire Hathaway annual report a year or two ago went into some detail of some things that happened with an insurance company which didn't have such liability protection for its investors, and it wasn't pretty.)
I believe there is a federal law that says that Internet providers are not held liable for copyright violations that their users make if they follow certain rules for removing material that violates copyrights when it is brought to their attention, but I'm not sure of the exact details.
But I'm not a lawyer either.
Actually it depends on a lot of things. A company can indemnify it's directors and officers for actions taken under authority of the corporation but it is dependant on the fact situation (there is such a thing as the "Business Judgment Rule.") As such meaningful liability protection can be afforded to officers and directors of a corporation
Investors can be totally different from officers and directors and the terms should not be used interchangeably though there are situations where they can be one and the same.
I could post a lot more on the subject but do not feel that a dissertation is truly necessary here.

On this topic I've just viewed Sam Harris' Ted talk 'Science can answer moral questions', which seems to lay out a 20-minute version of his basic argument. If I've understood it right, I'd say the persuasiveness of his argumentation doesn't entirely overcome a fundamental weakness.
In a phrase, Harris' position appears to resolve to: science can address moral issues because morality is inextricably tied to human happiness and well-being, and the whole history of science shows that human well-being is amenable to scientific inquiry. In front of a sympathetic audience he's able to imply that this fundamental premise is axiomatic; i.e., self-evident.
The problem is that it's not an axiom, it's an assertion. And, worse, it's an assertion that is beyond proof.
The idea that human life should be organized around personal well-being and happiness, and that society and morality should function in the service of that, is not self-evident. In the broad sweep of human history it's almost certainly a minority viewpoint. And the natural world provides scant evidence that such a view is so embedded in the fabric of reality as to be axiomatic.
Any number of societies have organized around radically different goals, with moralities to match. Even in the history of western civilization this is true. Christianity just a few generations ago presented a completely different view of human life, in which pleasure, happiness and even simple well-being were suspect and to be sacrificed in favor of well-being after death. Under this morality, encouraging the maximum of human happiness in this life would have been seen as putting the much greater good of the well-being of the soul in danger. Harris posits a moral continuum between well-being before and after death, but this form of morality places those two in opposition to each other.
Today we see this morality of self-abnegation resurgent in the Muslim world. In extreme forms, as anyone who reads the newspaper knows, this becomes a death cult in which personal well-being is very far down the list of moral 'goods', and in which the destruction of others' personal well-being is even considered a moral 'good' in its own right.
Along with these and other possible examples Harris' morality of the greatest well-being for the greatest number really has to take its place as an assertion about human life, not a certainty.
It may seem self-evident to us, brought up in a culture in which this idea has (slowly) taken hold over the last couple of centuries, but we simply have no way to prove it. One reason it seems so obvious is that it's so closely associated with science, and science has so obviously revolutionized human life. And, in doing that, it has shown that the universe we live in is amenable to rational inquiry in a way our ancestors never suspected. So it all seems to hang together: the universe clearly favors the scientific method and everything science seems to be telling us points to Harris' morality as 'correct'. Given what we know through science, what are the chances that the universe is the creation of a vengeful, demented deity who spent his time pitting desert tribes against each other, only spoke to a few lice-infested brigands (forgetting entirely to mention other continents or their inhabitants, bacteria, electricity, and a host of other useful facts), and then went peevishly silent, awaiting - but why wait? - the last day? Probably pretty low, but the problem from a philosophical point of view is that we can't be sure. There's absolutely no way to assign a zero probability to such a view of reality. It might - god help us - be right!
The implications are more than philosophical. As Sam Harris himself points out, in a world without empty spaces between cultures, these alternate assertions about human life become increasingly mutually exclusive and inimical. How can we accept that a plane ride away women are forced to walk around in bags, as Harris mentions explicitly? The reverse is also true: self-abnegation becomes impossible when your neighbor's wife feels free to enjoy a summer afternoon by the pool clad only in a bikini. As we all get pushed ever closer together our alternate views of human life inexorably strive to deprive each other of oxygen and claim the whole of human existence for themselves.
Personally, I believe Harris is right. It's just that there's still an act of faith involved. Harris hasn't eliminated that even though his claim to science makes it seem so. And so the problem of multi-culturalism is still before us.

Comments about Topeak Shuttle Lever 1.2:
These levers (there are 2, nested) are lightweight and pack easy. Easy to use and very durable. I had been toiling with cheap levers from local bike shop, not fun trying to change a tire in public while struggling with a cheap lever (you know, when your entire bike group is staring at you burning holes in the back of your head waiting for you to hurry up and change your flat so you can get back to it!?). Bought these, changing a tire is now sooooo much easier.

Comments about Topeak Shuttle Lever 1.2:
These are a lot better than you 3$ levers that the bike shop will sell you a million of. These work really well on road, XC, and folding bead tires. If you are looking to use these on a steel bead tire look to another set of levers. The description does not state like the packaging DOES that these are not intended to be used with DH tires. These are really nice levers just use them/buy them for what they were intended for.

BAYBORO – Cameron Moore lays down and tosses the football in the air from his back.
That daily routine has helped in his development as a wide receiver.
Moore, a junior at Pamlico County High School, has emerged as one of the Hurricanes' top weapons, and one of the reasons they have more wins than the past two seasons combined.
Moore has 14 receptions for 302 yards and eight touchdowns, as well as running for a score.
"Coach did a lot of work with me over the summer, just doing drills and having us go against bigger schools in 7-on-7s," Moore said. "That's helped me a lot."
Moore, who is listed at 6-foot-2, plays wide receiver on offense and safety on defense, where he has 10 tackles.
In the offseason, he plays basketball for coach Earl Sadler.
Moore takes some of that mentality to the football field.
"Coach tells me to get a rebound, so I go up and get it," Moore said. "I want to keep staying on top and working hard as I can. I want to score and help the team."
The Hurricanes weren't much of a passing team last season, until first-year coach Kevin Yost took over and implemented the spread offense.
Senior quarterback Na'Quan Gibbs has 12 passing touchdowns to just two interceptions.
"We've worked together a lot," Simmons said. "We work after practice and he is delivering the ball faster. I'm just making the catches."
Pamlico (3-3) won its last two games. It had just one victory in each of the past two seasons.
Moore caught three passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the Hurricanes' 45-6 win over Dixon last week.
He hauled in the game-winning score, with less than a minute remaining, as they edged out Ayden-Grifton, 49-43, the previous week.
"He is a big-time player," Yost said. "I think he is a mismatch one-on-one. He has grown into the guy. He is tall, a good athlete, he gets open and creates space in the secondary and his hands are getting better every day."
Yost said a few colleges have already shown a liking for Moore, including East Carolina.
Over the next year and a half, he hopes more schools will pay attention to Pamlico's playmaker.
"With his athletic ability, I think he's a Division I recruit," Yost said. "I want him to continue to be humble and hungry. I expect him to be that guy who doesn't drop many balls, gets open and becomes a leader by how he plays and vocally."
Pamlico's offense is scoring 30 points per game, up 19 points from 2012. The Hurricanes are two turnovers from having a 5-1 record.
"This is a strong team," Moore said. "I want to be successful this year. It's a better feeling now that we are winning. It makes everyone want to play harder."
The Hurricanes are off this week before opening Coastal Plains Conference play at East Carteret on Oct. 11.

Highly recommend By jason on 4/27/2011 jason would recommend this product to a friend Using as return pump on a 220 gal "Herbie" system and have been very pleased. Performance is great but my major concern was finding a quiet, quality pump. With a small amount of padding to reduce vibration in sump....it is near silent with only a very low hum audible. Cheaper pumps available but performance makes this a better value.

I'm selling my EVO 4g...a sprint phone. This phone is about 3 months old and has been kept in an Otterbox case from day one. It is also rooted...giving the user much more control over the phone than a stock phone. the phone has a customized theme/ROM called Synergy on it right now. I can "flash" any of the free custom ROMs if desired.
For those unfamiliar with android, there is a free application called Easy Scorecard. It's made for golf and disc golf.
I am planning to sell it back to sprint tomorrow if no one is interested. Sorry for the short notice.
Sprint will pay $150 for the phone. I will sell it for that and throw in either the otterbox case or a defender case.
Send PM or respond here and I will provide my phone number to discuss if interested.

It became a widely used engine with over 50,000 produced until it became suerseded by more powerful radials after the end of World War II.
One its more significant applications was in the North American B-25 medium bomber. Other aircraft to use variants of the R-2600 included:
This engine has been restored for installation on the Museum's Burnelli CBY-3 "Loadmaster." It is currently located in the Civilian Hangar on the wall near the DC-3.

Next time you pass a McDonald's restaurant and begin playing one of the chain's many jingles in your head, remember this: Behind the all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and sesame seed buns is some serious scholarship money.
The Ronald McDonald House Charities U.S. Scholarship Program offers offer aid to students in financial need who have demonstrated academic achievement, leadership and community involvement. Scholarships are for students in the United States living in areas where there are participating local RMHC Chapters. (To view a complete list of participating RMHC Chapters, their respective counties and the scholarships they offer, please click here.) Graduating high school seniors may only apply for one of the four scholarships available and applicants will be notified of scholarship award status in May or June.
The deadline for the current academic year is January 21st! For more information on this award and other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free scholarship search today.

Five years after the financial crisis, recent college graduates (and folks in general!) still find themselves struggling with a stagnant job market. And with the slow pace of job growth looming, internships are a great way to for students to boast their resumes, gain experience in their fields of study and become more viable candidates once the economy does improve. Plus, according to a survey of more than 1,000 employers, 56.5-percent made full-time offers to their interns just last year. So if you're looking for a college that makes internship participation a priority, check out U.S. News and World Report's top colleges with the highest rate of undergraduates graduating with internship experience below:

In what some would consider the most obvious study of all time, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln confirms that the majority of college students are seriously distracted in class and found that smartphones are to blame: According to the study, the average college student checks his or her phone a whopping 11 times a day in class while a mere 8 percent said they never use their phones during a lecture. Of those students using their phones during class, 86 percent said they were texting, 68 percent admitted to checking email and 66 percent were on social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
Despite these percentages, students generally downplayed their overall distraction. Fewer than 5 percent considered it a "big" or "very big" distraction when classmates used digital devices and fewer than 5 percent considered their own use to be a "big" or "very big" distraction. "I don't think students necessarily think it's problematic," said Bernard McCoy, associate professor of broadcasting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "They think it's part of their lives."
Being plugged in at all times isn't a new phenomenon: Students have always faced distractions in the classroom but with smartphones and the constant stream of stimuli they provide, a new challenge on focusing and learning has emerged. Do you have a problem using your phone during class? If so, would you consider it to be a serious hindrance to your education?

Yes, there still may be a few weeks left of fall but it's not too early to start thinking about what's to come in the months ahead. For high school seniors, that often means college applications and searching for ways to pay for further education without breaking the bank. Scholarships are an excellent way to do this... especially when a single scholarship can make a significant dent in funding your education.
Need more proof? Check out the AXA Achievement Scholarship. Here are the details: The AXA Achievement Scholarship awards $670,000 annually. Fifty two students - one from each state, the District of Colombia and Puerto Rico – receive scholarships of $10,000. Of those 52 students, 10 students are chosen as national winners and receive an additional $15,000 scholarship award and the opportunity for an internship with AXA Equitable. Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate ambition and drive, determination to set and reach goals and the ability to succeed in college.
The deadline is December 15th but for more information on this and other scholarships, conduct a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com.

Unless you plan on paying for your college education out-of-pocket, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (more commonly known as the FAFSA) is essential in your quest for financial aid. For the uninitiated, the FAFSA is used by the Department of Education to determine your eligibility for federal student financial aid for college, including the Pell Grant, federal work-student programs and federal student loans. And while most students struggle with the complicated application process, LGBT students potentially face more serious roadblocks: According to U.S. News & World Report, name changes, gender identification and strained family relationships can present unique FAFSA challenges.
In 2012, sexual orientation and gender identity were the number one reason for youth homelessness in the U.S., notes Thomas Krever, chief executive officer of the Hetrick-Martin Institute. Almost 40 percent of homeless youth identified as LGBT and of those teens, 46 percent ran away because their family rejected their sexual orientation or gender identity. What does this have to do with the FAFSA? Students under the age of 24 need tax returns and bank statements from their parents in order to file for financial aid and those without family support are left in limbo. Other LGBT students struggle with the fact that the FAFSA doesn't necessarily reflect their identity. Questions about name and gender can be enough to keep transgender teens from even applying, says Eli Erlick, founder of Trans Student Equality Resources. "One thing about funding, specifically FAFSA, is that transgender students may not be able to change their name due to parents not being supportive or not having the money to do so," says Erlick. "This can lead to transgender students being nervous to apply, or not even applying at all, because they're scared for their own safety, because using these forms with their legal names may out them." (For more on this story, click here.)
What do you think about the challenges LGBT students face when seeking financial aid? Can you think of something the government can do to ease this pressure?

High school seniors heading to college in the fall, listen up: The average cost at the nation's four-year public universities rose 2.9% this year, the smallest annual increase in more than three decades (yay!) but the slowdown in tuition increases have been offset by reductions in federal grant aid (boo!).
According to a new report from the College Board, public colleges have raised tuition prices so sharply in recent years not to gouge students but to bank on the increased state aid. And although the increase is moderate, "this does not mean that college is suddenly more affordable," says economist Sandy Baum, co-author of Trends in Higher Education reports on tuition and financial aid. "It does seem that the [upward tuition] spiral is moderating. Not turning around, not ending, but moderating." Unfortunately, students continue to suffer from the constant cycle of rising costs and serious college debt. Shrinking state aid for public colleges and universities has translated into the cost of public schools to jump $1,770 in inflation-adjusted dollars. The amount of government aid received last year fell $6,646 for every full-time student at those institutions while just five years ago, each student received $9,111 in today's dollars.

A problem that many incoming freshmen face is trying to choose a major but they also need to realize the importance of relating that major to a minor that supports it and gain skills in two fields that complement each other. Give yourself a professional edge by making sure your minor will enhance your skills for you major profession.
Regardless of career plans, it is highly recommended that you take classes to build extra skills. College is place to explore new things in a safe environment – this is the time where you can try something like art or accounting and realize if you are good at it or not. You can find out what you like to do, what does not interest you and how to use these new interests to further your academics and career.
Have you ever thought of minoring in a foreign language? If you are vocational major (i.e., business, management, etc.), this is something that will give you a greater edge in the job market. With the United States being the melting pot that it is, fluency in a second (or even third) language is something that helps you stand out to potential employers. If you are a liberal arts major, think about minoring in something like technology or marketing. Once you start really do the research on what extra skills you may need to be successful post-college.
Another option is thinking about a double minor or double major. While pursuing multiple degrees is not for everyone, it sure does show you are not afraid of a challenge! You will always have a chance to take general electives for classes you may not need but are interested in to some extent. Just make sure your majors and minors relate to one another to give you the best chance to succeed in your field of choice.
Chelsea Slaughter is a senior at Jacksonville State University majoring in communications major (public relations concentration) and minoring in art. She serves as a resident assistant on campus, serves as treasurer in the Public Relations Organization and is an active member in W.I.S.E., NAACP and Omicron Delta Kappa Honors Leadership Society. She aims to work in the entertainment industry post-graduation and is well on her way thanks to an internship with a digital marketer to several music artists. Chelsea strives to achieve all of her goals and motivate others along the way.

With so much riding on whether or not you get in, applying for college can cause even the most confident students some serious anxiety. And with so many factors to consider like high school rankings, SAT/ACT scores, GPAs and community service hours, it's important to understand that more often than not, colleges are also factoring in a student's ability to pay...even when they say they're not. Insert outrage here.
Just last Friday, George Washington University's website claimed to evaluate applicants without considering their financial need (also known as a need-blind admissions approach) but now they're clarifying that policy: It now reads that while applications are first reviewed without consideration of need, "at the point of finalizing admissions decisions, we must balance a student's financial resources with the university's aid budget. This practice of being need-aware allows us to meet as much need of as many students as possible." Why the sudden transparency, GWU? Turns out that the school's new senior associate provost for enrollment management's recent interview with The GW Hatchet revealed that she characterized the university's policy as need-aware as opposed to need-blind. The problem? By being need-aware for years and suggesting otherwise, the university appears to not only have violated the Statement of Principles of Good Practice of the National Association for College Admission Counseling but encouraged low-income students to apply (and pay a hefty application fee!) on the false pretense that the university was need-blind. (For more on this story, click here.)
The ability to pay for college has long been a major factor when it comes to gaining admission but to blatantly advertise otherwise is undeniably uncool. What do you think of GWU's current predicament? Should the university face serious repercussions? Let us know in the comments section.

Men's Volleyball Team and Libero Mark Hess Finish Year as #1 in Digs Per Game
July 8, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University finished the 2010 inaugural season in mens volleyball as the division one statistical champion in digs per game. Individually, freshman libero Mark Hess finished as the statistical champ in the same category. NCAA mens volleyball has only division one and division three. Pfeiffer competed against top schools like Penn State, Stanford and Southern California in these categories.
As a team, the Falcons led the nation with 12.11 digs per game, beating out conference foe Lees-McRae who finished second at 11.95. Limestone rounded out three Conference Carolinas teams in the top-10 finishing ninth. Hess, a 59 freshman from Lebanon, PA, concluded the year with 3.93 digs per game, 0.30 digs per game better than Trent Burns of Grand Canyon at 3.61.
Pfeiffer will look to once again make a splash on the national scene when their 2011 campaign begins in mid-January.

The Simple Life. Is It Really So Simple?
The Greening of Gavin and Little Green Cheese.
When my family and I embarked on our journey to live a more sustainable lifestyle after I had my green epiphany, little did I realise that this type of lifestyle takes a while to go from the complexity of modern society, to the simple and green lifestyle that I envisaged and yearned for. My initial motivation was to lower my carbon footprint, so that our grandchildren (yet born) and future generations had a liveable planet.
I knew that I had to change my thought pattens somewhat, having to learn how to slow down, relax, and worry less about things that just were not as important as I thought they were, but inversely I also had to skill up so that I could do all the things that I wanted to do. However, one rather large thing that I did not realise at the start, was that living a simple life did not mean that life got any easier, it just meant that my priorities had changed. Hard work was there, and continues to be there in droves.
Let me give you a few examples of how my mindset and workload changed. Instead of worrying if I needed a shiny new iPad, I had to worry about whether whether we were saving enough energy and that our solar PV system was working as designed. Instead of wondering what rubbish I was putting in my mouth, I had to ensure that my chickens were getting ample nutrition every day. Instead of thinking about the price of food going up, I had to think about what I was going to plant in the veggie patch for next season that we would eat and what I could harvest right now. Instead of having to choose which green grocer was the best in town, I had to think about the optimum way of pruning my fruit trees to maximise next years harvest. Instead of replacing broken things, I tried to mend them. Instead of throwing away food scraps, I collected them (and fed the chickens, worms and compost bins). Instead of spending money, we paid down debt, then saved money. You get my drift, so many new things to learn and master.
All of these things helped us become partly self reliant and meant that we had to do additional work. We found that the extra work had meaning more than any other work we had tried, and was worthy of our time, because it made us feel better. By thinking a different way, and by paying attention to our goals, we found that all the things that we set out to achieve, were achieved, however they always took longer than we planned. Maybe it was because most of the things we did, like raise chickens, make garden beds, grow food, bake bread, etc. were all new to us but very exciting and fun.
Further down the path we began to question the status quo, the current "business as usual" mentality and realised that what we were doing made sense, was more sustainable than our previous mindset, and would put us in good stead for possible future events like resource scarcity.
We found that living a simple life was fun, enjoyable, and rewarding, but the name of this lifestyle was a little bit deceiving. It was a lot less complex, and now that we were not caught up in the consumer culture, we did not have to buy stuff we did not need, with money we did not have, to impress people we did not like!
Maybe we should call it the "Rewarding, Fulfilling, and Happy, but Constant work Life". Have you had a similar experienced, or did it just come naturally to you?

I was just wondering how long it took you to transition across? I've started the journey but I'm curious.
Although it is fairly new for me I already love coming home where I have my systems in place and the ones I'm working towards.

Spot on and I couldn't agree more. I think it can be very over whelming when you move from a way of life that is second nature and you are basically good at to something on the flip side. All of a sudden there is so much that is new. It's all in the mindest I guess. I love the way you talk of all this change in your life as FUN. Cheers, Wendy.

Hi CJ, I have been on this journey since September 2006, and far from the end of it.
Hi Wendy, It was a little overwhelming at first, but once you settle into a few bedded down routines, new things just fall into place.

I think you are absolutely right! It is hard to live a simple life! I started my green journey back in 2007, and man I have a ways to go. I sometimes wonder if instead of keeping a foot firmly planted in the modern society, and then also trying to be as "green" as possible is the wrong way to go about it. Instead, I should uproot my family and move to some obscure place where there is no modern amenities around...although some would say that would be Maine - where I live currently. I think that living the simple life, while extremely hard work (lets not kid ourselves here) actually means less stress. Less need for the new things, being able to make do with what you have, and being content. Great post!

I am no where near as self sufficient as you are but I have changed a lot of my habits and become more eco friendly.
I also consume a lot less, materially, than I once did. I certainly have found it a lot of work and rather overwhelming if I try to do too much. I need to take baby steps and learn things slowly, unlike some people who seem to manage to change everything in their lives quite quickly. Ultimately the skills I'm learning, add up to less consumerism and more self-sufficiency.
I'm always impressed and amazed by people like you and others who write for the SGF Co-op and all the work you must do to live such a way of life as you do. It's good to hear you say that the reality is a lot of work, and constant work, though satisfying and rewarding. I did always wonder why they call it the simple life, lol.

As with other commenters, my transition is still a work in progress, but so far what I've found is that it's a simple matter training myself to remember to work sustainability critera into my decisions, then one-by-one replacing old habits with new ones. The weird thing is, my life doesn't feel any different. I think - unfortunately - most people think "going green" means switching to "sustainably made" useless crap, or it means deprivation. Neither is true of course.
The reality is that living simply and more sustainably makes my time more valuable than money meaning I don't have to work as much. Turning my home back into a center of production rather than consumption has monetary value with an excellent return on investment. (Although gov't GDP bean counters don't see it that way at all. Simple living production is invisible to them.) In fact, it's allowed me to live on so much less money that I'm seriously thinking about early retirement.
Maybe that's the angle we have to take. Forget saving the planet. Just do this and you can quit your job sooner than you thought. Hmmm....

the simple life is not simple...it's difficult and even more difficult in a world that does not yet recognize the simple life! so many still clinging to a life that embraces a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot, when some are trying to live simply with a bicycle and vegetables! I'm not sure I could give up my automobile...I have doctor appointments that are fairly far away, but I do think I could walk to the grocery! I need to give more REAL thought to how I can live more simply!

I've never had enough money to be a rampant consumer! I've always had to watch fuel bills so that I could afford to pay them, always had to recycle, repair, revamp in order to furnish my home because at times buying any furniture at all was impossible. But I look at my life so far and I am happy with what I have achieved and with what I have and I am not jealous of anyone who is richer than me because I am truly rich.

"We found that the extra work had meaning more than any other work we had tried, and was worthy of our time, because it made us feel better."
Great post!! This has been my experience, as well. Meaningful work, however laborious, is much more enjoyable for me than what most other people do for fun.

What you are saying Gavin has been on my thoughts alot...in order to 'begin' our simple life , we are working two jobs and doing a kind of juggling act in order to get to the life we want.
The road to simplicity does require efforts in deep thought, hard work and committment. But oh boy is it worth it!

Well, when you consider that society got where it did by embracing "convenience" and "time saving devices", it makes sense that going back to growing and making your own will take more time and effort. So I guess I always knew it wouldn't be 'simple'. And as my other half hasn't had an epiphany just yet, we kind of have a foot in both camps. I find it all to easy to slip back to 'convenient' at hectic times of life.
I tend to thing of the changes I've made in terms of 'meaningful, purposeful and thoughtful' rather than simple. Don't just blindly follow or do because I've always done it or everyone else does it. Slow down, think, decide, then do.

Thanks for the great thoughts. We started a couple of years ago with one vine and now the whole backyard is full of beds and other yummies. It has been a whole new wonderful experience for at least one of my children, who has found his calling and I: my son now wants to do this for his life work. I've never had the funds to do anything more than 'reduce, reuse, tecycle' etc but it makes me feel good to know that I am doing something bigger than just being broke.

The simple life is not simple! It is skilled, complex, interesting, rewarding, satisfying, real, but it isn't simple. Permaculture ideas say that simple is hard and vulnerable. Complexity is resilient and self-sustaining. Stable natural systems aren't simple - they're a complex web of interactions that mesh so that every part is supported in dozens of ways, and has dozens of functions. The simple life is a bit like that.

I'm so pleased that someone else commented that the "simple life" is not simple! I am often bewildered by that term- when it seems to be a little ironic. Perhaps the word simple should not be used and it it should just be referred to as trying to live a more self sustainable lifestyle- because it is actually really hard work. It is less convenient, more time consuming and, let's face it, sometimes less cost effective as well. It requires you to build skills, to do without, and to get creative with what you have. It doesn't mean it's not without its rewards... but it is certainly a long way for simple!

Some of it has come very naturally and has been fairly easy to learn and other things take a bit of perserverance but it remains so very worth it. This life is such a happy life and I would much rather be doing it than anything else. Something I believe is really important is to pace yourself and not try to take on too much at once. When we told our family of the changes we wished to make they seemed to expect us to be cranking out tons of veggies or giving them a knitted item every holiday that came around. This journey takes time and the ability to pace yourself, only then do we not allow ourselves to become overwhelmed and can devote the time it takes to learn and become efficient at a new skill.

Were you aware that Saturday, Sept. 17, is a national holiday?
If you answered "no," you are like many Americans who don't recognize Constitution Day or know the significance behind this relatively new holiday said Michael Rigelsky, Esq., an Ohio-based attorney with the firm Roetzel & Andress.
|Michael Rigelsky, Esq., an Ohio-based attorney with the firm Roetzel & Andress, spoke to Erie students about American rights to privacy as stated by the U.S. Constitution.
But according to Rigelsky, who was one of four guest speakers invited to inspire students among LECOM's three campuses, discussing this important piece of American history is beneficial since it affects us all.
Rigelsky stressed that one of the most significant purposes of the U.S. Constitution is its ambiguous, but interpretable "guide" to American privacy rights. Despite the fact that "privacy" is nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution, he explains that throughout American history there have been Supreme Court cases — Buck v. Bell, Skinner v. Oklahoma, Griswold v. Connecticut, and Roe v. Wade — that have amended the U.S. Constitution, granting the public more personal privacy rights, including the right to decide, the right to be and feel secure in one's home, and the right to accept or refuse medical treatment.
"Today is about preserving democracy. In order to keep this great experiment of democracy going we have to understand where our rights come from and why they are protected. This is about understanding the rules, understanding where they come from, and engaging in honest debate and discussion, because only by doing so can we keep our Republic intact," said Rigelsky.
Regan Shabloski, assistant dean of clinical education at LECOM, discussed the history of the U.S. Constitution on Friday.
At LECOM's Bradenton campus, Mary Hawk, Esq., a principal at the law firm of Porges, Hamlin, Knowles and Hawk, PA, spoke on the Constitutional challenges to the Affordable Healthcare Act that was passed by Congress in 2010.
Hawk told first- and second-year medical students that the majority of the challenges involve the Act's requirement that individuals purchase health insurance. She said most of the reforms in the Act will start taking place in 2014.
"Seventeen states have passed legislation that directly contradicts the Federal Act," she said.
Hawk noted two cases that have played out in the Federal Courts — one in which the insurance mandate was declared constitutional (Sixth Circuit, Cincinnati, OH) and another that declared the mandate unconstitutional (11th Circuit Court, Atlanta). Another case in the District of Columbia circuit court is pending.
|Law clerk Kimberly Cook, Jessica Aun (OMSII), Mary Hawk, Esq., Assistant Dean of Preclinical Education Mark Coty, PhD and Anik Cockroft (OMSII), participated in Constitution Day in Bradenton, Fla.
In addition to Rigelsky and Hawk, LECOM Assistant Dean of Clinical Education Regan Shabloski discussed the history of the U.S. Constitution in Erie; while Irv Freeman, vice president of LECOM at Seton Hill, spoke to first-year medical students about "Substantive Due Process" in regards to the Supreme Court case Abigail Alliance v. von Eschenbach.
Constitution Day is an American federal holiday that recognizes the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It is observed on Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the document in 1787. The law establishing Constitution Day as a holiday was created in 2004. In May 2005, the U.S. Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
Though it is a relatively new holiday, more educational institutions have taken major steps to incorporate discussion about the U.S. Constitution and the government.
