A standard BB charger doesn't provide enough juice to charge a tablet. You need one with higher amperage.-------------------------------------------------------------

even when connecting to a pc the charging will be very slow and I think some posters said it's not charging at all. The bottom line is just use the charger the PB came with or a rabid charger.

Re: how do i know if the playbook is Charging
First, try plugging it in to a wall outlet (not a computer) and let it charge overnight. After that, try holding the power button in for 5 seconds and see if it tries to power up.
If it all won't power up, try stack charging. Plug it in for two minutes, unplug for ten seconds, plug back in, repeat, repeat, repeat... Try stack charging about 20 times and see if the red charging light will finally stay on. If it does, let it continue to charge on its own for a few hours before trying to turn in on again.
Another thing to try is holding the volume + and volume - buttons, then press the power button.RuneCryption - Unique memory game for PlayBook & BB10, now "Built for BlackBerry".

As an experiment, I just plugged my 32gig into a motorola charger. Battery Guru is showing "usb wall" and a charge of approx .44Watts. I don't see much of an upward blip if any. I'll leave it alone for a while and see what happens. I would imagine if I left the screen go off, it might go up but the screen may be using more power than it is getting from the charger at the moment.
Edited to add: Leaving the unit to enter standby, the charge from this wall wart was 2.xx when I quickly brought it out of standby but dove back to only .37Watts. The unit went from 65% to 70% battery.

First Rougarou Fest set for Houma
A new Halloween festival set for downtown Houma will feature a mix of modern pop culture and monster myths from Cajun lore.
The first Rougarou Fest — named for a beast in Cajun folklore — is scheduled Oct. 26. It links several existing downtown events with Halloween festivities, including a parade, costume contest and a monster-themed race.
In the "Rougarou Run," participants will be outfitted with a flag football belt. Then they will have to protect their flags from zombies, swamp monsters and members of the Cajun Rollergirls roller derby team.
The Courier reports the event will raise money for the Wetland Discovery Center, which helps teach children about the importance of the wetlands and saving Louisiana's coast.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by darrelld25 Great Product for child and adult I bought 2 of these to keep my 8 year old and myself hydrated while riding our mountain bikes. This is a great product fit both of us with just a quick adjustment. It had enough water for a 2 hour ride without any issue. It has an extra pocket to hold a snack, cell phone, car keys, etc. Not a lot of room, but we didn't want a backpack, just a water pack :) May 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Marathon CC Not just for kids, women too! I use my Camelbak mini for training runs for half and full marathons, since the full sized Camelbak weighs me down too much in races. The 50 oz reservoir holds my G2 with ice and keeps it cold for 14 miles even in the heat (running at 12 min/miles). The only downfall is that I cannot wear it without taping my shoulders. The pack has an irritating place on the strap where the stitching connects the holder for the mouthpiece. Overall, I really like the product, so much so that I own 2 and will be using both in my next marathon! July 19, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mcward Great product Really like it but it is heavy with water in it. Also great for holding my phone and keys. November 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by onairs10 Great pack for women My wife uses this for mountain biking and hiking. We've tried the cheaper brands with leaking mouth pieces and leaking bladders. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra 20% and get the "Got Your Bak" guarantee. This pack flops around when running so I would recommend it for that. My wife is 5'2" and 115 lbs so that might have something to do with it. But it's certainly not too big for her as other website reviews have stated. She loves the extra storage that my CamelBak doesn't have... JEALOUS!!! May 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by lori Love It! I love my mini mule! It's lightweight and holds everything I need. June 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Anita81 Has great storage capabilities Totally awesome product, have taken it on several half marathons thus far, glad I made the purchase. March 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Penn Great product I use it for my long runs. It has plenty of room and it isn't heavy. I can hear the water moving but I'm ok with that. I drink a lot of water so I do run out by mile 10 but it has enough room for me to place a small water bottle in the center which is adjustable. February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shamrock454 High quality typical of Camelbak products. Purchased this for a 15 yr old to use for hiking and X-country running. Lightweight and well built, with enough room for lunch, snacks, keys and cellphone. My only issue was that the reservoir does not have the quick disconnect where the drinking tube meets the reservoir like my other Camelbaks do. I like having that for thorough cleaning after use. Just a minor gripe. September 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by prstnstacy Camelbak Went on a run for the first time with the Camelbak. I loved it and it held strong. A great feature is the pocket in the back in which I held my phone to track my mileage on. Washed and hung upside down and it dried quickly and was ready for use again. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Doc summertime Like it Bought this for my 2yr old, it's a little big but the straps ajust to make it comfortable. It has just enough space in the outside pockets for a few snacks September 17, 2014

Port Clinton, Ohio - Before the Pistol phase of the NRA National Rifle & Pistol Championships in Camp Perry kicked off, the National Rifle Association, Civilian Marksmanship Program and Ohio National Guard invited local journalists to a Media Day at the base. As with most of our Media Days do, this one kicked off with a little range time.
The Air Gun range to be specific. Opened a few years ago, Camp Perry is home to an 80-point electronic target air gun range.
"We hold a number of national competitions here at the range," explained one staffer. "In fact, this February the Air Gun team that is going to London was finalized here."
Finding an open spot, the journalist were seated with air rifle in hand. Then came out the instructions.
"Once you have loaded your pellet then close your bolt, and you should be ready to fire. Sights are peep sights. Look through the rear of the sight and line up the front sight with the black bullseye at the center of the target. When you are ready, begin firing."
Some fired with glee while others with frustration. No matter. Seeing the scores immediately bounce upon the screen with every squeeze of the trigger was enough to put a little thrill in the worst of shots. Course, that's before the learned about the competition.
At stake, not including pride, were gold, silver and bronze medals. Also heading home with the winners would be a brand new iPod and a $15 iTunes gift certificate. Best ten shots take home the prize.
At the end, scores of 95, 95 and 99 took home the gold. Each were happy to show off their bounty &hellip but a little hesitant about the iPods.
"I'm not sure what to do with this," said the overall winner (name redacted). "Is there a fourteen-year-old around here to show me how it works?"

Blog your thoughts and opinions here.
So about 3 days ago I posted episode #1 of this blog series.
I've heard some nice comments so I guess I'll keep'em coming
Now allow me to remind everyone : Every episode I talk about 2 Underused Talents (WWE or TNA or Both). So without further adu let's meet our Underused Talents of the day
Drew McIntyre :
The sinister Scottsman, the man that was mentioned
It's just annoys me when I watch RAW and Smackdown and see some same old and then I see Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Zack Ryder on Superstars! So without further adieu lets begin!
1. Drew McIntyre
I'm starting with what is the most annoying mis-use of talent! He has the look, he has the moves, he has the talk but yet he's a simple jobber for Mark Henry and Big Show! Give him a

The WWE IWC has been a buzz lately. With CM Punk appearing at indie shows and Comic Con, people are wondering how long this story will go on for; is CM Punk still under contract, and what can he do before it becomes a legal/discipline problem. Most people seem to think this story is part of HHH's master plan as new onsite/TV authority figure to allow Vince a lighter load. For the most part, Punk doesn't
Recently Miz has come under some "criticism" and why you might ask well lets begin!
Many people including myself were very excited of the future of the Miz after he won money in the bank a year ago. He was a young cocky star whose move-set wasn't the best and relied on striking his opponent but he had an ace in the hole being that he could cut great promos. In 2010 he held
Over the last several weeks alot has changed in wwe.
THE shoot promo!
VKM has been "relieved" of his duties
The wwe champion "doesn't" work for the company
We have two money in the bank winners
A new world heavyweight champion
And a consistent reminder of the mainia 28 main event
I love this new storyline that they are running with CM Punk, with winning the title and then confronting HHH at Comic-Con. I don't think it gonna go like this for long though. I believe after his 90 day no compete clause is up, you will see Punk hit other companies. Now I don't see him going to TNA, but I do believe he will show up in RoH and NJPW. This will help bring back notariety to the title
I think so. This is kind of a reach, but whatever. I'm high and it's fun to think about this stuff.
If the WWE can make some sort of deal with one of the companies over there it would be a huge deal. I don't know what they'd want to get out of it as far as straight up money from the events and TV and PPV and whatever. What I do know is that they have a lot to gain as far as legitimacy,

Sup y'all. Third blog today. That's what happens when you drink wine and use Sheiky Baby's "medicine."
I think this idea of a Cena heel turn is well-meaning but not a good business idea. What is it going to accomplish? Here are the typical reasons why people go heel:
1) For some reason they're not quite over as a face. they need to get vicious and beat the living hell
I'm pretty gosh darn tired of something, folks. Every time I read anything having to do with Kane, with what's wrong with the E, masked wrestlers in general, monster heels, fire, necrophilia, the 90's, breakfast cereal, the color red, whatever, there's some yahoo talking about putting the mask back on Kane. Here's why it's not the right move.
First of all: not going to happen. Absolutely not,

Tupelo Furniture Market celebrates 25th Document: E001DJS081512.eps;Page: 1;Format:(295.27 x 546.10 mm);Plate: Composite;Date: Aug 08, 2012 22:10:16;JPC 72 DPI Tupelo Furniture Market Chairman V.M. Cleveland and President Kevin Seddon anticipate a busy fall market. THOMAS WELLS | DAILY JOURNAL Market helps find home for vendors big and small BY DENNIS SEID DAILY JOURNAL T wenty-five years ago, the first Tupelo Furniture Market and Southeast Furnishings Mart was held at the Ramada Inn Convention Center. And it was a hit. Nearly 90 exhibitors showed, with 4,000 buyers from 36 states attending the four-day show. Six months later, more than 200 exhibitors signed on for the spring show, and the market expanded to the old Arvin building in the Tupelo Lee Industrial Park South in Verona. By the fall of 1988, two new buildings were constructed for the market � the Mississippi Furniture Mart and the Tupelo Furniture Market Center � offering more than 260,000 square feet of exhibit space. What started as an idea turned into a dream and then a reality in Northeast Mississippi. Doubters and naysayers said Tupelo could never support such an endeavor, that Memphis was a better destination. Tupelo didn't have the hotels or other infrastructure to support it, they said. Harry Martin, president-emeritus of the Tupelo-based Community Development Foundation, which played a key role in getting the market here, said the results speak for themselves. "The Tupelo Furniture Market has had a major economic impact on the furniture industry as well as the commercial side of business in the community," he said. "The hotels, the restaurants, the retailers benefited. And the furniture industry itself, especially the � Not open to the public; for registered buyers only. � Building I is open to the public for the Furniture and Home Accessories Show. THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY of the market will be celebrated on opening night on Thursday. A special pres- � Complimentary buyers' breakfast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. daily. entation marking the occasion will be followed by the National Buyer Appreciation Award, dinner and enter- � National Manufacturer's Representative Award Friday, 6 p.m., Building VI. tainment. It will be held from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Building VI. smaller manufacturers who otherwise couldn't have shown anywhere else, found a home here." Tupelo and Northeast Mississippi had what Memphis didn't � the furniture industry itself. The area was deemed the "upholstered furniture capital of the world," with more than 200 manufacturers, scores of suppliers and 30,000 employees. It was the best-kept secret around. Other furniture markets were in High Point, N.C., Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco. But for many smaller companies, those markets were cost-prohibitive. And thus, the Tupelo Furniture Market was born. Today, the market covers nearly 2 million square feet. It draws buyers from across the country and globally as well. Top retailers make Tupelo a key stop. "There were a lot of visionary people involved with the market," said Martin. "And it was the community and the CDF that rallied around it to support it and make it a success." SILVER CELEBRATION | | | FALL MARKET | � Complimentary buffet and entertainment ThursdaySaturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. � The fall market and the Furniture and Home Accessories Show run Thursday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. � For more information, call (662) 842-4442 or visit www.tupelofurnituremarket.com. `The Tupelo Furniture Market has had a major economic impact on the furniture industry as well as the commercial side of business in the community. The hotels, the restaurants, the retailers benefited. And the furniture industry itself, especially the smaller manufacturers who otherwise couldn't have shown anywhere else, found a home here.' president emeritus, Community Development Foundation SECTION E | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 A SUPPLEMENT OF THE DAILY JOURNAL Harry A. Martin 2E | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 DAILY JOURNAL Tupelo sees gold during silver celebration BY DENNIS SEID DAILY JOURNAL T Workers scramble to unload and set up exhibitor showrooms before every market. You won't find the both the quality and quantity we have in Northeast Mississippi anywhere else." So how does the upcoming fall market stack up? The silver anniversary calls for a special celebration, and the market will have that on opening night Thursday. In addition to the National Buyer Appreciation Award presentation, a program will showcase the market's past. "There's going to be a video that shows a lot of what went behind the scenes to get the market going, and we'll also have some very special guests at the ceremony," said Greg Giachelli, secretary and treasurer of the Tupelo Furniture Marketing Association. Attendance is expected to be heavy for the market. Earlier this month, TFM officials said they expected to have its highest-attended market in 10 years. At the time, preregistration was up 100 percent from the last market, permanent exhibit space was nearly 100 percent sold and temporary space was 90 percent sold. Cleveland said market officials reviewed the market from top to bottom. "From management and sales personnel to infrastructure, operations and marketing, all areas of our business, as well as the industry itself, were taken into consideration," he said. "This upturn is the end result." While the market gave away Hummers during its 20th anniversary celebration, it's being a little more practical this time. More than 80 exhibitors at the fall market will be giving away high-definition TVs and iPads, along with other prizes, including some of their own products. Other exhibitors also are offering Tupelo-only incentives to buyers. Jim Sneed, the CEO of Affordable Furniture, said he anticipates a good market, despite some recent softness in the economy and the furniture industry. "It's always been a good orderwriting market, the biggest that we attend," he said. And new this year to the market is the Furniture and Home Accessories Show, which will run simultaneously with the fall market. The show will be held in Building I and open to the public. It will feature home furnishings, outdoor furnishings, area rugs, picture frames, framed art, lighting fixtures, cookware, pottery, Christmas decorations, appliances, designer clothing, jewelry, purses and other items. "It's like a trade show within a trade show," said Kevin Seddon, the president of the Tupelo Furniture Market. But the public won't have access to the remaining five buildings where buyers and retailers meet with furniture manufacturers. Furniture and Home Accessories Show attendees will wear special badges that will limit their access. C. TODD SHERMAN | DAILY JOURNAL FILE A NEW FEATURE "This really isn't something revolutionary we're doing," Cleveland said. "All the furniture markets have been doing this in some form or fashion for years, including us. But instead of scattering everything over six buildings, we're putting most of the accessories exhibitors in one building, where not only the market attendees can go, but the public, too." The spring and fall furniture markets are officially closed to the public, although exhibitors do often offer guest passes. Some exhibitors sell only to dealers, while some are willing to sell to the public. Those sales usually are limited to the last day of the market. Cleveland said having the separate Furniture and Home Accessories Show is an answer for that. "People can come and get what they want then and there instead of having to wait until the market's ready to close on the last day," he said. "We think it'll be well received." email@example.com Not all hospices are the same. Ask for Sanctuary Home Hospice by name!

"It's been fun, it's been exciting, it's been scary at times," said the owner and chairman in 2007. "Sometimes all at once ... but I think we still have a good future." Five years later, the market is still around. Despite the recession and stiffer competition, the Tupelo Furniture Market remains a viable trade show for the industry. While the market is a little smaller and attendance has dropped from its peak, TFM officials are as hopeful as they've ever been. This week, the market celebrates its 25th anniversary � the silver anniversary � and Cleveland see a golden opportunity. "I really think in the next few years that we can see this market grow again," he said. "When we added Building VI a few years ago, it was because we had a waiting list of exhibitors. Of course, the economy tanked and the industry has shrunk a bit, but we're seeing and hearing a lot of good things going on." The market, once spread over two complexes covering nearly 2.5 million square feet, consolidated a few years ago into one complex on Coley Road. It's still almost 2 million square feet, plenty of room for hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of buyers to make deals. Many of the country's 100 biggest furniture retailers make Tupelo a regular stop. It's long been viewed as a destination for promotional � low-priced � furniture, with a mixture of midpriced wares. Discontinued and closeout items also are displayed, but new merchandise also is introduced at the shows. "We have a mixture of everything, but promotional furniture has been our bread and butter," said Cleveland. "Upholstered furniture, in fact, has been what we're about. We're the upholstered furniture capital of the world, and we've capitalized on that. DAILY JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 | 3E Good idea, with great execution, led to market I BY DENNIS SEID DAILY JOURNAL Happy anniversary, Tupelo Furniture Market likes of Mickey Holliman, Hassell Franklin and a host of future CEOs and executives who built their own furniture companies and their fortunes. Many furniture manufacturers attended trade shows to show off their products. High Point, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta � they were the places to see and be seen. Along came Tupelo in 1987, daring to dip its toes in the water, upsetting the balance. How could a little upstart upstage the big guns in the industry? Tupelo was nothing more than the biggest small spot in rural Northeast Mississippi whose biggest claim to fame was some singer named Elvis. But some entrepreneurs and innovators got together and said, "we can do this." And they did. Most of the big names in the industry scoffed and said Tupelo wouldn't have a chance. But the small to mid-size companies � the ones that didn't have the financial clout to show in the bigger furniture markets � found their niche in Tupelo. The city and the region said, "let us take care of you. Let us show the world what we have here." The other markets took notice. Those that didn't either no longer exist or are only a shell of what they once were. The Tupelo Furniture Market may not be the trailblazer it once was, but it still has a promising future, with an infusion of new blood and new ideas to get it back on track. And if things work out, in another 25 years, we'll be wishing the market a happy golden anniversary. DENNIS SEID is business editor of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

And he also knew a thing or two about marketing. It was on one of his many long drives to Jackson more than a quarter-century ago, in a Volkswagen with no air conditioning, that an idea popped in his head. "I had a legal pad and was thinking about what we could do with the furniture industry," he said. Meek was familiar with the industry in Northeast Mississippi, where most of the state's manufacturers and suppliers were centered. But there was no organized trade show in the state for those companies to showcase their products. Meek had some experience with trade shows with his company, Oxford Publishing, which produced Nightclub & Bar, that industry's leading publication, as well as "The Show," its premier trade show. Wanting to develop a trade show for the furniture industry in Mississippi, Meek polled several furniture manufacturers about his wild idea. "Fifty percent of them said yes," he said. "The other half, mostly bigger companies, said I'd lost my mind." But Meek wasn't the only person thinking about the furniture industry and how to promote it. Harry Martin, then-president of the Tupelo-based Community Development Foundation and now president-emeritus, said his organization also was looking at ways to develop the economy. "We looked at industrial equipment shows, and the research and development center in Jackson told us something like that for the furniture industry ought to be in Memphis." Enter Meek, who also had been told a furniture show was better fit for Southaven, just `V.M. came in with a lot of money and resources, took over and took the market to another level. He's done a great job with it, no doubt.' Ed Meek outside of Memphis.. "They said Tupelo didn't have the transportation network or the lodging for it," he said. Meek didn't give up on the idea. On a trip back from Alabama, he was driving through Tupelo, and dropped by the CDF office. Meek said his mind quickly turned to longtime Daily Journal publisher George McLean, who long advocated finding ways to boost the region's economy. "I thought, George McLean would want this," Meek said. After extensive talks with the CDF, state and local officials, furniture manufacturers and others, the beginnings of the Tupelo Furniture Market took shape. In March 1987, the market was officially organized. Six months later, the first Tupelo Furniture Market took place. A year later, two more major players, V.M. Cleveland and Lynn Davis, opened their own furniture market facilities. "V.M. came in with a lot of money and resources, took over and took the market to another level," Meek said. "He's done a great job with it, no doubt." Meek worked with Cleveland for a few years, then Davis and Cleveland joined forces in 1993. As Meek helped promote the Tupelo Furniture Market in the early days, he met legendary real estate magnate Trammel Crow, who also Tupelo Furniture Market founder owned the Dallas Market Center. Meek was recruiting exhibitors for Tupelo at the Dallas Market, which at the time was one of the country's top furniture trade shows. After hearing that Meek was recruiting for Tupelo, Crow brought Meek up to his office, telling him he needed to leave. "I didn't have any idea who Trammel Crow was," Meek said with a laugh. "But I know we all but put the Dallas market out of business." Meek also remembers talking to Morris Futorian about the Tupelo Furniture Market. Futorian, regarded as the father of the furniture industry in Northeast Mississippi, never attended a market. But he offered Meek advice. "He said, `if you believe it, do it,'" Meek said. "After the first market, he said he knew we could make it happen." Meek had a huge role in developing and growing the Tupelo Furniture Market, and today only watches what's going on from a distance. Tupelo was the right thing to do at just the right time. And it still is, he said. Never mind Vegas and High Point, he said. With costs rising in China, Tupelo is poised to take advantage, Meek said. "I believe the Tupelo Furniture Market will have a tremendous resurgence because of manufacturing returning to the U.S.," he said. think it's fair to say the Tupelo Furniture Market has made an impact on the furniture industry. What that impact is depends on whom you talk to. But even with my limited DENNIS knowledge and exSEID perience of the market and the industry, I don't think anyone would deny it's made quite a ripple in its 25 years of existence. In 1987, furniture was driving the economy of Northeast Mississippi. And in many ways, it still does. At its peak, furniture manufacturing generated nearly half the jobs in the region, either directly or indirectly. Just five years ago, manufacturing drove a third of the employment in the region, and most of it was tied to furniture. But the industry was taken for granted by many living outside the area. Few people associated furniture manufacturing with Mississippi. Most people then, as they do now, look at the state as an agricultural economy. Catfish, chicken, cotton, soybeans, etc. I'll be honest: When I first arrived in Tupelo eight years ago, I had never heard of the Tupelo Furniture Market. I had never heard about the furniture industry and how Northeast Mississippi was the "upholstered furniture capital of the world." Truth be told, I had to figure out exactly what upholstered furniture was. Believe me � I know what it is now. And I know what case goods are, too. As you read the stories in this special section that marks the silver anniversary of the Tupelo Furniture Market, you'll see familiar names and faces. Many are huge figures in the industry, and none bigger than Morris Futorian. It was he who kick-started furniture manufacturing in Mississippi 64 years ago.

Yes, it's smaller than what it once was, but look at the number of retailers that have shrunk." JIM SNEED, CEO of Affordable Furniture "We were one of the first exhibitors and we've shown ever since for 25 years. V.M. has done a great job. We're very happy with the market, and we have a good loyal following of dealers who come to see us every year." RON WANEK, chairman of Ashley Furniture Industries "I never really thought about (it's impact on the industry), but I know it's always been good for us and it's still good today."

Furniture Today said many companies that chose not to show in Tupelo didn't think the city had the hotels and restaurants to support a furniture trade show. Harry Martin, then�president of the Community Development Foundation, which helped organize and support the market, said housing the guests wasn't a problem. Hundreds of homes were opened up for exhibitors and buyers to rent during the market, giving birth to the Hostess Home Program still used today by the market. DAILY JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 | 5E Furniture Market milestones I By Dennis Seid t started small, with some 80 exhibitors showing in 70,000 square feet and making deals with 4,000 buyers. At its peak before the Great Recession, the market drew more than 1,000 exhibitors and 35,000 visitors for each show. The biannual market still attracts several hundred exhibitors and thousands of furniture buyers and retailers from across the country, attracted by the ease of shopping and Southern hospitality. And the market's presence in the middle of the upholstered furniture capital of the world, where buyers can see much of what they're buying being made nearby, is another plus. Here are key moments during the market's successful run: The Tupelo Furniture Market was officially created March 27, 1987, by Ed Meek, president of Opportunities Expositions in Oxford after extensive talks with local and state leaders. Among those in attendance at the unveiling were Tupelo Mayor Jack Marshall, from left, North Mississippi Industrial Development Director Bill Boyd, Mississippi Community and Economic Development Director Jerry McDonald, Meek, CDF Chairman Ed Neelly and Mississippi Manufacturing Association President Wilson Jeter. The first program for the Tupelo Furniture Market and Southeast Furnishings Mart, as it was called officially, featured 88 exhibitors. The first market drew about 4,000 buyers. The second market, which expanded to the Arvin building, pulled in more than 6,000 buyers. The Mississippi Furniture Mart, seen here, opened in the fall of 1988, with 105,000 square feet of exhibition space. Lynn Davis, second from left, was president of the facility. The Mississippi Furniture Mart, under the leadership of Lynn Davis, grew into a five-building facility with some 800,000 square feet of exhibition space. The Tupelo Furniture Market Center, now Building I of the Tupelo Furniture Market, opened under the leadership of V.M. Cleveland also in the fall of 1988. The building provided 160,000 square feet of space. The Tupelo Market Center was about half a mile away from the Mississippi Furniture Mart. While run separately, together the facilities featured exhibitors for the biannual Tupelo Furniture Market. Cleveland, left, and Davis, center, merged their operations in 1993. While both facilities remained opened, Davis' facility was referred to as the Mississippi Complex, while Cleveland's facility was named the Tupelo Complex. Today, only the Tupelo complex features market exhibitors. The market celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1997. An interesting note: The fall market held a reception for international exhibitors at the Mexican Pavilion in Building IV. The market celebrates its silver anniversary this week. The Tupelo Complex added its sixth building in 2004. The 300,000-square-foot building expanded the market to nearly 2.5 million square feet.

By the time the second market rolled around, it was clear Tupelo was a hit. More than 250 exhibitors and 6,000 buyers for the March 1988 show. The third show, in September 1988, marked the first anniversary of the Tupelo Furniture Market. By then, everybody was jumping on the bandwagon. In a Daily Journal editorial on Sept. 10, 1988, the paper said, "the past year of the market's growth parallels the strength and aggressiveness of the area's furniture industry. "Furniture is a bellwether of Northeast Mississippi's economic philosophy: local investment creates local prosperity. Private investors, local governments and development organizations have joined hands to focus national and world attention on the quantity, quality and diversity of furniture manufacturers in our part of Mississippi. "The fall furniture market is the showcase for dreams brought to fruition by vision, planning and unending. "Success will continue if the energy that brought Mississippi's furniture industry to the top of the ladder continually is fed with new ideas, sustained with enthusiasm and encouraged by cooperation between the public and private sectors." And what was said a quarter-century ago still applies today. "The furniture industry wouldn't be where it is today in Northeast Mississippi without the Tupelo Furniture Market," said Ken Pruett, president of the Mississippi Furniture Association. "It helped build the industry and helped make it strong and it will continue to do that as long as our manufacturers continue to support it and others get behind it, too." 8E | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 DAILY JOURNAL CONGRATULATIONS Tupelo Furniture Market on Document: E008DJS081512.eps;Page: 1;Format:(295.27 x 546.10 mm);Plate: Composite;Date: Aug 07, 2012 12:03:54;JPC 72 DPI Thanks for the impact you have had on our regional economy for the past 25 YEARS! 1194 Highway 145 Guntown, Mississippi USA 38849 Tel: (662) 348-2800 � Fax: (662) 348-2899 � www.norbord.com Norbord Mississippi, LLC.

With these funds, the organizations work diligently to help tell the unique story of their community, and to reinforce the value of building a creative economy. These groups prove that arts programs are vital to stimulate economic growth," said Malcolm White, Executive Director of MAC. "Additionally, the arts provide a positive environment for learning, both in the classroom and in the community." The Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, serves the residents of the state by providing grants that support programs to enhance communities; assist artists and arts organizations; promote the arts in education and celebrate Mississippi's cultural heritage. Established in 1968, the Mississippi Arts Commission is funded by the Mississippi Legislature, the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation, the Phil Hardin Foundation, the Riley Foundation, the Mississippi Endowment for the Arts at the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson and other private sources. The agency serves as an active supporter and promoter of arts in community life and in arts education.

Tarquez Calvert and De'Kendric Moye from the Houston Club and Elijah Ingram and Artaveion High from the New Albany Club traveled to spend their first week of summer break learning the game of baseball with some of the nation's finest instructors and youth from throughout the country. The camp provides an opportunity for deserving young people from across the country to come together for a week to learn baseball "The Ripken Way," while simultaneously developing life-long character traits that will help them continue on the path to success. The entire Ripken program is based on Cal, Sr.'s philosophy that "everything you do in baseball, you do in life; and everything you do in life, you do in baseball." Both Clubs recently received grants from the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation through the assistance of the Mississippi Department of Human Services and the Mississippi Attorney General's Office. The grant supports the Badges For Baseball Program, a multi-faceted crime prevention and mentoring program that conveys the tenets of "The Ripken Way" to young people through a variety of programs, including Healthy Choices, Healthy Children and baseball themed activities. It also partners youth with caring adults in local law enforcement to enhance and enliven these lessons. Elijah Ingram received the "Camper of The Week Award". "I was able to meet other kids from Las Vegas and lots of other places. My favorite part was learning more about baseball," stated Ingram. The program will continue to be implemented until late October 2012 and continues to seek partnerships with local law enforcement. For more on how you can become involved, please call 662-841-6405.

Clubhouse Receives Community Impact Grant Volunteerism Across The State The Oxford Boys & Girls Club was recently awarded a Community Impact Grant from the United of Way of Lafayette County in the amount of $5,000 to implement a reading program at the Oxford Club for 1st � 4th graders reading below grade level. Funds will be used to hire five excelling 11th and 12th grade students from the Oxford and Lafayette High Schools to tutor members. Incoming Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi President, Dr. Judith Thompson, partnered with the project to provide training and monitoring of tutors by University of Mississippi students to help tutors be effective and keep learning fun. Another component of the grant will include workshops presented by the Oxford Police Department on things such as internet use, bullying and safety. Both the Ripley & Houston Clubs were visited by youth volunteers from Hands on Mississippi this summer. A group including 22 youth and seven adult volunteers traveled to the North Mississippi area from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and treated members to a play performance, arts and crafts, games and a puppet show. Hands On Mississippi was founded in 2005 in response to Hurricane Katrina and promotes volunteerism. Northside Teen Center Tremendous Success This Summer Through various partnerships and grant funding, the Northside Club was converted to be more conductive to teen activities and learning this summer with additional games, computer lab improvements, a new scoreboard, and basketball uniforms for Club and community competitions. Thanks to a partnership with the Tupelo Public School District, youth ages 13-18 were transported to the Teen Center allowing the transition to be smooth for parents and staff. Programing was key in keeping teens engaged and eager to be a part of the new Center. A special interest of teens this summer was a music program presented by the Delta Music Institute who brought their Mobile Music Lab to the Center. Education remained forefront of the organization's goals even through summer months. Members of the Teen Center participated in the "Tupelo Reads" reading initiative sponsored by the Mayor's Task Force. Club members read "Gilead" along with the Tupelo community this summer and participated in group discussions led by Lisa Reed and Bonnie Webb. For their participation and writing an essay, members were treated to lunch with the Mayor and Mrs. Reed at Chili's. Pictured are Mayor and Mrs. Reed along with Boys & Girls Club members. Toastmaster Youth Leadership Program Members of the Oxford Clubhouse participated this summer in the National Toastmasters leadership program which is aimed at honing their speaking and leadership skills in a non-pressured setting. Pictured are: Meg Mathis, Tim Abram, and Carol-Scott Defore with club members. Houston Boys & Girls Club Receives Gift The Carpenter Foundation recently donated $40,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Houston. Houston Board members and Boys & Girls Club Administration hope that other businesses and industry in Chickasaw County will see the value of the local organization and make an investment as well.

Throwback Thursday: Memories from the First Annual Beard Awards
The countdown continues: the 2015 James Beard Awards are less than two weeks away! The excitement is contagious and, no surprise, it's all that we can talk about. Not all of us were fortunate enough to hop aboard the extravagant yacht where the very first Beard Awards were held 25 years ago, but for this week's TBT, we chatted with a team member lucky enough to witness the inaugural celebration back in 1991. Here are some of our manager of special projects and student programs Shelley Menaged's memorable moments from the very first JBF Awards:
"I was a student volunteer assisting JBF Award winner Emeril Lagasse in the kitchen. I was fresh out of cooking school, so I was very eager. For me, it was an amazing experience. He made a crayfish étouffée and buttery biscuits. It was my first experience doing large production and we were in the tiniest kitchen."

VoiceExtensive discussion of the major covenants and their relation to Israel, and the disconnect between that and the Church is included. It addresses key passages such as Daniel 9 and Acts 3, as well as the rlationship of PD to Cessationism, the Rapture, and the Future Millenium. Without fail, every chapter deals with Hermeneutics and how PD abandons the normative approach for more erudition.... I wish this book could be read and devoured by all who defend the traditional dispensationalism; it would be well worth their time.
— Ken Hornok, Pastor, Midvalley Bible Church, Salt Lake City, UT

By AMINUDDIN firstname.lastname@example.com
KUALA LUMPUR: Adi Putra Abdul Ghani admits that it is a burden being called a "child genius".
"There are so many expectations, but it is a burden I have to carry," the child prodigy said at the 2011 Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair yesterday.
Adi Putra, 12, surged into the limelight in 2009 when it was reported that he gave lectures at universities when he was supposed to be in Year Four.
He has reportedly invented 234 new mathematical formulae and learnt eight languages.
He was also accorded several awards, including the "This Decade's Muslim Mathematician" from Riau University of Indonesia in 2009.
During the fair, Adi Putra launched his first book titled "Seni Matematik Islam" (Islamic Art of Mathematics) and wowed the audience by memorising 200 numbers within a minute.
Adi Putra said the book was easy to grasp and would help youngsters gain a better understanding of mathematics and teach them calculations.
"It can be utilised by children as young as six," he added.
Adi Putra said he used his own insight into the world around him to come up with mathematical formulae like the hill' formula for multiplication.
His mentor Assoc Prof Dr Pakharuddin Samin, from the mechanical engineering faculty of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said the book contained 12 chapters, with each chapter having a formula on mathematics Adi Putra came up with by himself.
"These are basic formulae derived from his own creation and from great Muslim thinkers and mathematicians like Al-Khawarizmi," he added.
Asked how other children can improve their mathematical prowess like himself, Adi Putra advised schoolgoers not to use calculators until they had memorised mathematical tables.
"Calculators tend to make our brains lazy when used for purposes other than checking the results of an equation.
"They should also play less video games. It may help them be creative but it is a distraction from actual study," he added.

Don't buy this CAR! I love it soooo

just drives me crazy. Fast, confident,

far the best Car on the road.
I spent Four months test driving

careful about buying my car. Soon it

Brazil blackouts hit up to 60M, spur Olympic fears
RIO DE JANEIRO Brazil emerged Wednesday from a widespread power outage that plunged as many as 60 million people into darkness for hours, prompting security fears and concern from residents about another black eye for a country hosting the 2016 Olympic Games.
Power went out for more than two hours in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and several other major cities after transmission problems knocked one of the world's biggest hydroelectric dams offline. Airport operations were hindered and subways ground to a halt.
A group of muggers took advantage of the darkness to rob people en masse near Rio's Maracana stadium, which will host the Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies. But overall, police said, crime did not rise in Rio and fell in Sao Paulo during the outage.
All of neighboring Paraguay also went dark, but for less than a half hour. A spokesman at Brazil's Energy Ministry said up to 60 million people — nearly a third of the nation's population — were affected by the blackout. He spoke on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to discuss the matter.
The failure affected more people than the worst U.S. blackout on record: an Aug. 14, 2003 outage caused by power line problems in the Midwest that cut electricity to 50 million people in eight states and Canada.
The Energy Ministry called an emergency meeting for Wednesday afternoon, but Justice Minister Tarso Genro minimized the impact, saying Brazil has vastly improved its electrical grid since a series of outages in the 1990s.
"This is a micro-accident among the extraordinary conquests for energy production for Brazil over the last seven years," Genro said.
Brazilian authorities blamed storms that took down power lines and towers, causing a domino effect that rippled across the region.
Lights twinkled back on along Rio's Copacabana beach, in South America's largest city of Sao Paulo and in Paraguay's sleepy capital of Asuncion. But some traffic lights were still out in both Rio and Sao Paulo and traffic officials were expecting drivers to face difficulties the rest of the day, according to local media.
In Rio, Governor Sergio Cabral sent an elite police unit into the streets early Wednesday to help maintain calm in a city known for its crime. The mayor dispatched 300 extra unarmed civil guards to help control traffic.
The city saw a series of robberies around the Maracana football stadium — where the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics will be held, along with the 2014 World Cup final. A police spokesman said a band of roughly a dozen criminals worked the area together, robbing people en masse — a crime phenomenon so routine it is known as a "big sweep."
A Rio police statement said there was no increase in crime, though it did not give figures. In Sao Paulo, military police said they handled fewer incidents than usual.
Questions remained about what happened and what the fallout would be in Brazil, a nation seen as an ascending economic and political power.

67=.George Monbiot, Academic and journalist
The self-styled "professional trouble-maker" is as feisty on Twitter as he is in his Guardian columns. Monbiot isn't afraid to use Twitter to call out anyone from mining corporations to climate deniers and politicians: "No bloody way: Cameron says he is committed to abolishing the top rate of tax. Insane and injust."
