CONCORD, N.C. – Round two of the 2013 WKA VEGA / TS Racing Road Racing Series driven by Mazda is this February 8-10 at Roebling Road Raceway near Savannah, Georgia.
The pre-entry form for the Roebling Road Nationals is now available.
Click here to view and print the Roebling Road entry form. Competitors may also pre-enter online via MotorsportReg.com. Go to SouthernKartClub.com for the direct link to the event's online pre-registration.
Pre-registration is open until Friday, February 1.
Road racers recently closed the 2012 national circuit at Roebling Road September 28-30. WKA and Southern Kart Club officials met following the September event and agreed to work to move the Roebling national date back to February, as it has been in past years, in an effort to increase entries and competition at the 2.02-mile venue.
The event also marks the opening of the 2013 Southern Kart Club regional season. The SKC group will run a club points race in conjunction with WKA at Roebling and April 5-7 at Carolina Motorsports Park. Additional SKC regional races will be held at Roebling Road June 29-30 and Sept. 28-29.
Competitors may mail completed pre-entries to SKC at PO Box 155; Grant, Fla. 32949.
WKA hopes to see a great field of road racers back in action at Roebling Road this winter.
The following is a letter from Southern Kart Club Dominic Greco regarding the 2013 WKA and SKC karting seasons.
Welcome to the 2013 Southern Kart Club (SKC) race season!
First off, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and also to congratulate all of the recent winners at the Daytona season opener. To all of the SKC club members enjoying wins, "WAY TO GO!" As everyone knows from the World Karting Association (WKA) releases, our first club race of the year will be a WKA VEGA / TS RACING ROAD RACING SERIES DRIVEN BY MAZDA national points race. We are excited to once again be a regional stop for the entire series, and look forward to showing the national competitors our special brand of Southern hospitality.
Thom, Nick and I will be working to procure the "free range" pork for the traditional southern BBQ that our club enjoys at our race events. Southern Kart Club will provide the main dish (Pork) and select sides for dinner. We ask all of the club members and guests to bring sides or deserts to add to the pot-luck style gathering Saturday Night following the races. As always, the track allows overnight camping with a small additional fee at the gate. So if you do not feel like leaving the track, you have another option.
The rest of the SKC race schedule will include two additional race dates at Roebling Road and one date, also a national, at Kershaw. These dates will be:
April 5-7 – Carolina Motorsports Park, S.C. (national)
June 29-30- Roebling Road (regional)
September 28-29- Roebling Road (regional)
Due to a scheduling conflict with Barber Raceway, we will not be able to have an additional race this year. Last year, Robby Harper set up an additional race, and we were able to have it approved as a "Plus one" race for our club points. This year, we will revert to the old format of calculating our club member regional points by applying the best three out of four finishes.
SKC Class sponsorship forms are available on the website. Sponsorship includes your club membership along with an early move in and sponsor parking for the season. We thank all of last year's class sponsors, and hope for additional new sponsors in 2013.
With the increased workload on the volunteers and board members for a national race, our 2012 points Banquet will be held at the June Race. We do not want to short change our loyal club members with a rushed banquet on an already full weekend.
One club item that needs to be addressed over the national weekend will be elections of or retention of SKC board members. In 2012 the SKC membership approved the ability to conduct "electronic" voting for club elections.
Additionally there will be ballots available at registration. Write-in candidates can be added up until the final tally Saturday night. There will be five new board members elected to replace/retain half of the board seats. We will announce the 2013 SKC board members at the BBQ.
The following Board members are up for re-election:
Nick Weil, Mark Scott and Dominic Greco
Members in the middle of the two year term are:
Dave Williams, Jackie Myers, Thom Andresen and Steve Jeffers
Sunday morning during the quiet hour, there will be a meeting of the newly elected SKC board members to begin the club year.
Finally, I would like to personally thank the members of the SKC for making each and every event a "family" style gathering. To our sponsors, thanks for the much needed financial backing in these tough times. To the other board members and volunteers, thanks for all of the hard work you do for the club and racers that visit our track. I would like to extend a special thanks to Dave and Sherrie Williams for their work in scoring and registration, Mark Scott for always helping the disabled karts off the track, and Nick Weil for being our site web master, chef and for his fine event race direction.
Thank you again for another great race season that was 2012, and I look forward to a fun 2013 season.
Dominic Greco
SKC President

Gallery: Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce
Jun. 18, 2010 @ 09:45 AM
SOUTH POINT, Ohio — MSC Industrial Supply has renovated a building near The Point industrial park in South Point for its industrial supply business.
The company moved in earlier this year and has about 25 employees, said Bill Dingus, executive director of the Greater Lawrence County Area Chamber of Commerce. About two-thirds of the building is set aside for warehouse operations and the rest of the building houses offices.
The chamber held a Business After Hours at the industrial supply business on Thursday. The business is located about two blocks away from the chamber office.

No one can predict the future, but the future is not unknowable. While no one may be able to accurately predict the future of US healthcare, we do know something about what it will look like.
Some will want to understand why we need to change the way we deliver care. This YouTube video by Dr. Barry Bittman is a helpful introduction to the challenges we face. Simply put, we cannot continue to deliver care in the same way we have for the past 60 years.
The stakes are very high. We must find a way to improve the overall health of a given population, accomplish that at the lowest possible per person cost, and in a manner that engages and satisfies the patient's right to a positive experience. The risk of failure or inaction far exceeds the risk of change. To do nothing is paramount to accepting the economic demise of the United States.
The future of US healthcare requires redefining what healthcare means: moving away from episodic sick-care to sustained preventive care, from provider-centric care to patient-centric care, from hospital-centric care to point-of-resident care, from professional-based knowledge to consumer-based knowledge and decision making.
The path forward will include some combination of the following realities: team-based care, technology and non-physician supported chronic disease management, integrated health delivery systems, data and results-driven population management, as well as a strong patient-centric focus.
The transformation will be highly disruptive. It will result in a redefinition of the roles and responsibilities for health care providers, a deconstruction of the medicalization of US society, and a higher degree of personal responsibility.
We are moving into very interesting times, both challenging and exciting. Change is never easy, but change we must.
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. For the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order, this lukewarmness arising partly from fear of their adversaries … and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it."
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, Chapter VI, 1532

Style: stick,Taiji, mountainbike--
Yeah, I know it was different, I just thought it was interesting and a little similar. The way the state and federal laws over lap and seperate is pretty wierd if you ask me. I personally think the laws should be a little more together. I remember people telling me that when they drove through Virginia, there would be cops pulling out of state cars over and giving tickets for having radar detectors. That's pretty shitty to me.Combatives training log.
Gezere: paraphrase from Bas Rutten, Never escalate the level of violence in fight you are losing. :D
Drum thread
Pavel Tsatsouline: kettlebell workouts give you cardio without the dishonour of aerobics.
PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
I think the gun laws should be a bit more unified, through means other than a federal legislative mandate. For example, I think the supreme court should just rule on the issue of availability of carry permits for citizens, to get rid of "may issue" states that are effectively almost 'no issue.'
The radar detector thing is pretty shitty, but it goes along with my ideologies of holding up the US constitution, as it falls under traditional police powers of the state.
A lot of states do have pre-emption laws like Florida, including California.
PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
Which means it is going to force a state like California to let me carry with my Florida permit. A permit would not be issued to be in California, as they have vastly different requirements than Florida (Over here, its effectively impossible to get one for most people). Therefore, if this law passes, California's law would magically pre-empted by the federal law not apply to me while it does to all California residents. So California effectively would not be able to govern people with out-of-state permits because of a federal law, of a function that constitutionally falls under a state's exclusive power.
Once I get a permenant job it'll be a lot clearer whether I'm a CA or FL resident; at that point, I personally don't even know if my FLCWP would be good anyhow.

Style: Judo & BJJ--
I'm ambivalent, too. We do already have FOPA which overrides local and state laws if you're traveling from a place where you can legally carry to another place where you can legally carry. But it is a very restrictive law. On the other hand, I do favor federalism and think locales should be able to make their own laws consistent with the constitution.
The law would help me personally. The current situation is a pain in the ass for me--I live in Connecticut, which has pretty good carry laws (once they give you damn permit). In fact, the CT permit is a "carry" permit, not strictly a concealed carry permit. But I live close to the border with New York and I work in Manhattan (fat chance getting a permit). That means, basically, never carry and nothing in the car.
Of course, it's basically a moot point. There's zero chance President Zero would sign such a law.
PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
Pres. Zero. lol
every time I use the word "federalism" i feel like I have to explain it.
Anyways, my carry gun I left in Florida for my in-laws to use.
PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
No. I'd love to elaborate but no time right now. Please read my 4th post up.
Basically, its not up to fed. legislation to enforce 2A rights. Its up to the supreme court when it gets challenged through the court system.
Also, basically, I'm saying if you want to rely on the US constitution to say 2nd amendment rights are to be protected, you can't ignore the rest of the constitution which also says states police themselves and not the feds. What US consitution does allow for is challenging unconstitutional laws through the judicial system, but not through legislative system.
PDS Rifles Style: Univ. Florida Kickboxing--
I don't really know. My personal take is that if a person is going to go through a certain state, they need to respect the laws of that state just as you have to respect the laws of the state you live in. Inconvenient but that is how it is. Just like how I have to pay state income tax in California now, but I didn't in Florida. In other words, what right?
Thats besides my other personal belief that all states really should allow concealed carry to appropriate citizens of that state and not just a select few.

JUSTICE — A man is now facing an additional six charges that include two counts each of assault on a trooper, battery on a trooper and obstructing, after he allegedly became physical with members of the West Virginia State Police (WVSP) who were attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant out of McDowell County.
According to the criminal complaint obtained from Mingo County Magistrate Court that was filed by WVSP Trooper J.R. Tupper, Darrell Daniel Steele, 23, of Justice, was at the residence of Keisha Cook when troopers with the Gilbert and Welch Detachments arrived to take him into custody. Trooper Tupper approached the front door and was informed by the other officer that Steele had attempted to flee out the back door of the residence but had gone back inside. Forcible entry was then made into the home and Steele was discovered hiding under a bed.
Attempts were made to remove Steele from his hiding place, but he chose to not go peacefully and began kicking the troopers in the chest area and on their arms, and had to be told numerous times to stop resisting before finally giving up and allowing them to stand him up and place him in handcuffs.
Steele received a $9,000 bond on the assault, battery and obstructing charges during his arraignment before Mingo Magistrate Pam Newsome and was also issued a $3,000 bond from the felony charge in McDowell County. He was remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden and will appear in court this week for his preliminary hearings.

Ronnie Campbell - owner of Tow Boat U.S. - had been friends with Keith Edward Sullivan, 45, of Emerald Isle, North Carolina for more than six years.
So when Campbell came across a body in the river near the foot of St. James Street at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, he said he knew it was Sullivan, who had been missing from his boat that been anchored between Front Street and Goat Island.
I know it was him, Campbell said.
Campbells belief was confirmed Monday.
Coroner Kenny Johnson said x-rays provided by Sullivans family were compared with surgical scars on the body and provided proof it was Sullivan who was found.
An autopsy showed cause of death as an accidental drowning.
Campbell said because Sullivan was his friend, he has been looking for him every day since he was reported missing Jan. 12.
Sullivan had been living on his sailboat Saga.
He was last seen Jan. 12 by some friends from Canada, who were also visiting the area.
Campbell said there were reports some people heard Sullivan yelling for help around the time he went missing.
He said it appears Sullivan somehow made it to Goat Island and then stripped off all of his clothes except his underwear and tried to swim back to his boat. Campbell said it is unknown if Sullivan fell off his boat or his dinghy.
He said weather may have played a role in the incident because the water temperature in mid-January was in the middle 40s.
I found him about 300 yards from where his boat had been anchored, Campbell said. I am hoping this will help bring closure to the family.
Cuthbertson said the body was turned over to the U.S Coast Guard.
Along with the dental comparison, Johnson said an autopsy will be performed to see if it can be determined what happened to cause Sullivan a boater with more than 20 years of experience to end up in the water.

So, it's scenes like this that make me love the Dresden files:
Harry: "So, there's a new group of vampires in town."
Bob: "I see. And you're waiting for them to make their move, to see what their after?"
Harry: "Hell no. I'm going to break into their house and kill them in their sleep."The fool thinks himself immortal,
If he hold back from battle;
But old age will grant him no truce,
Even if spears spare him.
Style: Aikido / FMA / Krotty7
I once read a fantasy novel where the hero was some kind of BJJ black belt.
There was a great fight scene about a third of the way through, where the hero and his opponent both started on their knees. The hero took a side mount very early, and then there were 15 blank pages where ****-all happened.
Eventually, the bad-guy got gassed, did something silly, and the hero subbed him with an arm-bar. Sadly, it was all tangled in Gi, and the hero's back was in the way of the view, so we (the reader) didn't get to actually visualise it.
I tell you what though... it made for some really engaging and exciting mental imagery.
When life gives you lemons... BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!
"what's the best thing about aikido then?"
"To be defeated by your enemies, to be driven by them from the field of battle, and to hear the lamentations of your women." ermghoti

A contemporary comedy about men and love -- told through the stories of five guys who start a website called "The Man's Guide To Love."

About this project
The Man's Guide To Love Movie
This project is an experiment in creating something we love. Two years ago, we set out naively with three young guys to talk to men all around the world about love. We asked them for one piece of advice that they'd tell another man. All this advice is collected on our website themansguidetolove.com. It turns out what we didn't know about love was astounding. This movie is about everything we've learned about love from the experience -- and it's about how much we have yet to learn. This movie is personal, cinematic, painfully honest, funny and ultimately emotional -- just like all the men we met on this journey.
The more time we spent writing this script, the more we realized this should not just be another disposable Hollywood romantic comedy. We are setting out to create an ambitious contemporary film about what it's like to live now -- in this new media age -- what love is like now -- what's real and what isn't -- how is love really defined -- and oddly enough, it all still ends up being a very entertaining modern romantic comedy. The movie has been described as "Adaptation meets Annie Hall" and "The Social Network for the 99%" -- a love letter to all those websites out there that don't end up becoming Facebook, but still change the lives of the people involved.
Join the community of this film. Read the script. Become part of the experience of making a movie in a truly unique way. Crowdsourcing the funding for this movie is a natural extension of the project itself. We crowdsourced the content from day one. We had no agenda, other than to learn the truth about what men have to say about love. Having witnessed the incredible candor of these men, we feel a unique responsibility to create a movie that rises to this level of passion, humor, honesty and integrity. To achieve this goal, this movie needs a true community of support.
We believe in having a good time, and if you become part of the community of The Man's Guide To Love Movie, we'll take you on an exciting and entertaining ride. We guarantee there will be pitfalls along the way, but together, we'll keep our sense of humor as we go -- and we'll send you updates and special behind-the-scenes videos. This movie is about sharing love -- and that's what we're going to do throughout the entire process of making it. We'll be open and candid and share the experience of trying to create a great movie.
We're also going to move fast. We commence photography on June 4th, wrap 24 days later, edit the film through July and August in order to deliver a preliminary cut by September 1st, 2012. To make a movie at this pace requires a little bit of crazy and a lot of support. We'll bring the little bit of crazy if you can give us the lot of support. With hard work and a great deal of love, together we can create a unique original movie that will make us all proud.
With deep affection,
Mark Levin & Jennifer Flackett

Updated 1/12, 9:10 p.m.
A six-alarm fire engulfed the Citibank on 111th Street in Morningside Heights Saturday morning, leaving three firefighters and four civilians injured.
As of Saturday evening, firefighters still surround the building and access is blocked to the west side of Broadway between 111th and 112th streets.
A Fire Department of New York spokesperson told Spectator that the three firefighters had been transported to St. Luke's Hospital to be treated for minor injuries, while four civilians were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation.
Computers were strewn across the floor and tables overturned in the bank Saturday afternoon. On the second floor, a hole appeared to have been punched through the wall. Shattered glass covered the sidewalk, and the Citibank sign over the building was removed.
According to DNAinfo, the fire broke out around 5:20 a.m. Saturday. An FDNY spokesperson said that the fire was difficult to extinguish because it appeared to be in the walls of the building. A nearby apartment building was evacuated, he added.
The fire was initially reported in the basement, but had spread to the first and second floors of the building, the spokesperson said, but the FDNY did not yet know what caused the fire.
Other businesses on the block have varying degrees of damage. Bank Street College of Education canceled classes Saturday due to smoke. Pinkberry, two stores down from the bank, suffered no damage because of the fire, an employee told Spectator.
Feras Samad, owner of The Heights Bar & Grill and Samad's Gourmet next door, said they are waiting to re-enter the building and plan on reopening quickly, but "right now we don't know the full extent of the water and smoke damage."
Vareli manager Richard Bill said that the restaurant—one storefront away from Citibank—will be ready to open by Monday after suffering water damage.
"We got a little water coming in from all the hoses. It just started to breach the walls," Bill said. "We've spent most of the day pumping the water out."
Check back for updates.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly spelled Vareli manager Richard Bill's name. His last name is "Bill," not "Brill." A previous version of this correction misspelled "Vareli." Spectator regrets the errors.
FYI: Samad's got wiped out by a a fire once before. January 1996, plus/minus a month. At the time the Heights space was occupied by Nacho Mama's, which IIRC was where the fire started. After the repairs and renovation, the Heghts moved in upstairs while Nachoo Mama's moved a block up to where Community F&J is now.
I went too that bank (The old First National City bank) since I was a child in the 50s until I moved out West. My family banked there since the 1910s. We are all Columbia U, UTS and TC. A lot of old neighborhood people will have lost their safe deposit boxes, with photographs, degrees, jewelry, etc. I still remember the aborted bank robbery in 1960 when the bank guard shot it our with bandits. Bullet holes are still in the building across the street... That bank has been there 110 years... REAL Upper West Side neighborhood institution... Tragedy.
Substantially, the article is in reality the freshest on this precious topic. I concur with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your coming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the fantasti c clarity in your writing. I will immediately grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Genuine work and much success in your business enterprize is the best place to find weight loss news. продвижение веб сайтов http://www.dv-magic.ru/prodvizhenie-optimizatsiya-saytov/

Minimizing equipment weight reduces the cost of offshore processing facilities. Because equipment specifications must consider non-steady state operations, KBR applies dynamic analysis to evaluate equipment design for the full range of operations covering initial startup, normal operation, turndown, shutdown, restart and variation in plant throughput.
The economic implications of poor steam system management could lead to serious problems at facilities. Lost revenue could be $400,000 to $800,000 for every plant trip associated with a steam system upset. If a steam system is not running at 100 percent due to bottlenecks, the amount of revenue lost could total up to $10 million per year.

A Windows Mobile Version of Google Talk
OctroTalk is an application for Windows Mobile smartphones and Pocket PCs that lets you chat and talk to your Google Talk contacts. The software uses Jabber transports to let you connect to other IM networks (Yahoo, MSN/Windows Live, AIM), but you can only chat with contacts from these networks. OctroTalk uses tabs so you can have multiple conversation at the same time, supports peer-to-peer file transfer and folder sharing.
There's also a desktop version of the program that allows the Smartphone client to transfer files remotely from your computer.
The software is free during its beta state and it's unclear if you'll have to pay to continue to use it when it comes out if beta. Oh, and you need to have Windows Mobile 5+.
There are many other ways to use Google Talk (including Java applications that work on most mobile phones), but Google should really provide a mobile Google Talk app or at least a non-Flash version of the gadget. And an update to the Windows client. And ports for Linux and Mac OS X.

Wind: 0 mph
By Win Smith
Ten years ago on September 10, 2011, we signed the purchase and sale agreement with American Skiing Corporation to purchase the assets of Sugarbush Resort. After six months of difficult negotiation, we finally concluded the deal and expected that it would be big news the next day. Of course, everyone knows what 9/11 brought.
On that fateful day a decade ago, I was in Tokyo still working for Merrill Lynch. I watched CNN in horror all night long and tried in vain to contact my colleagues only a block away from the World Trade Center towers. I was able to return to my office and the devastation of lower Manhattan a week later, and I will never forget the smell and the sight of the still smoldering rubble that was several stories high. I will always remember the spirit of those whose lives were impacted forever and the communities that rallied to help all who had suffered so much that day.
Ten years later, we celebrate a decade of owning Sugarbush. Indeed, I am thrilled to have made that investment. Despite a "hundred-year drought" that dried up the Mad River snowmaking pond and a recession in our first year of ownership and the death of my friend and partner Joe Riemer, we have managed to improve each year. And this fiscal year, which ended on July 31, we had our best year ever.
Then Irene hit us hard and the devastation that struck many here in the Mad River Valley and our neighbors throughout Vermont reminded me of that day in New York City 10 years ago. The force of Irene came out of nowhere. When the sun shone the next morning, the damage was unfathomable and as shocking as the rubble that followed 9/11.
Once again, human spirit and goodness rose to the occasion and neighbors came out to help our friends at The Pitcher Inn, at Lareau Farm, at Bridge Street and in Moretown. And now Valley residents and second-home owners are assisting our neighbors in Waterbury and Granville and elsewhere. Fortunately, not many lives were lost but the monetary and psychological costs of the flood are enormous. As I read the many blogs and see the goodness of the people in the Mad River Valley, I feel so lucky and proud to be part of this wonderful community. And, as we approach the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, I am also proud to be a citizen of the USA.
As we look forward to our second decade of ownership of Sugarbush, we do so with great optimism as well as a continuing commitment to make Sugarbush an even better place in the future and to continue being a supportive member of this wonderful Valley and a good neighbor to all.
Smith is the president of Sugarbush Resort.


text: Three Ring Yellow Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "bright sulfur green yellow [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a green-tinged, medium yellow with a frosted finish. The color payoff was excellent, and the texture was soft, smooth, and easy to work with. This is a repromote, and it was also one of the best-performing shades of the collection. Fyrinnae Banan Mochi is warmer. NARS Rated R #1 is greener. MAC Double Feature #2 #1 is more shimmery. MAC Colour Added is similar. MAC Brilliantly Lit is a cream product. See comparison swatches.

UT swim team wins MAC TitleWritten by Zach Davis | | email@example.com
The Toledo swimming and diving team won its second Mid-American Conference championship in three seasons on Feb. 25, edging out the field led by Ohio 635-612.
During the three-day championships, Toledo won nine events and set 12 school records, eight pool records, five championship meet records and four MAC records.
"It feels great to be a champion," said UT head coach Liz Hinkleman, who was named MAC Coach of the Year in just her second season. "The girls never gave up and fought hard in every single race. I'm so proud of them for being able to accomplish our season-long goal of winning the MAC, and to break several records in the process was very exciting."
Senior Laura Lindsay won her second individual conference championship, taking first in the 200-meter breaststroke with a pool, meet and MAC record time of 2:09.79. Classmate Claire Leichty defended her 1,650 freestyle championship with a meet record time of 16:11.80; sophomore Beth Rogers won the 200 butterfly in a pool, meet and MAC record time of 1:57.87.
The team also had a league-high five players named First Team All-MAC: junior Carly Harter, sophomore Rachel Johnson, Leichty, Lindsay and Rogers. Sophomore Christina Noens and junior Kirsten Smith were named Second Team All-MAC.

Of course, I have been a bit busier (and sicker) than I thought I would be and it has taken WAY longer than I thought it would to finish it. (Not to mention the fact that I kept adding stuff to it, making the initial size something like 180MB...until I found a way to reduce the file size with my MAC so that it is WAY more manageable). ANYWAYS... This pack has, as usual, some adorable craftivities- a glyph and also a personalized friend which both have writing extensions...but the pack also has a bit of math...and a lot of writing and making connections with character and plot.
I also included a leprechaun legend that can be used as a "Think Ahead" (predicting activity)
...lots of activities to go along with my two fav St Patrick's Day books by Tomie DePaola...
gotta love Jamie O'Rourke!

A fire was reported inside a conveyor elevator at International Paper Co. at about 11 p.m. Friday. Firefighters had a hard time with the fire because it is reportedly about 90 feet off the ground. It took more than three hours to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries. Georgetown County Assistant Fire Chief Tony Hucks said wood chips on the enclosed conveyor belt caught fire. The cause of the fire is being investigated. Georgetown County firefighters were called to assist the company's own firefighters. At about 12:30 a.m. additional county fire personnel were called to the scene. Georgetown City Fire and Midway Fire Rescue also helped.

Coach - Mall of America
Coach at The Mall of America in Bloomington MN.
As any fashion plate knows, a good handbag and shoes make the enviable ensemble. Lucky for shoppers, Coach offers an unrivaled selection of both of these beautiful things. Handbag collections are adoringly named, each offering a sassy definition of what lifestyle it is best-suited for. Designs offer an exuberant array of deliciously daring details like muted-metallics, butter-soft slouchy silhouettes, graffiti patterns, mod font artwork, as well as unexpected fabrics featuring high-gloss crinkle patent and shimmery sateen. The "Signature C" logo weaves its way into both traditional leather and textile colors like black and khaki, but coral, pink, lilac and lime prevail for play. Styles are grand or petite, structured and freestyle. The Coach Satchels and Shoppers are long-time roomier favorites, while the Wristlet is perfect for evenings out when-besides your date-a lipstick, cell phone, mints and cash are the only necessary objects.
Coach's casual and fancy footwear makes for such effortless style it's no wonder we all want it. Designs are dainty for relaxing days with leather power flowers and bows on toes, while the office-into-evening look longs for the fabric-covered four-inch heel or a trendy, patent platform pump. Going for weekend casual? Coach is known for its logo-adorned ballet flats and snazzy sneakers, which are now available in mixed-media designs in a variety of happy hues.
From bags to baubles, Coach has indeed become an icon of American spirit.

Apple's fine, everyone that is spelling out their doom needs to settle down. Market share is not as important to Apple as profit, but to claim 51% marketshare is incredible, considering they offer three models, basically all identical and able to run the latest OS, whereas Android has probably a thousand devices, most not able or willing to run the latest OS. That is a stunning achievement, when you think about it.
I tend to think the anti-Apple pundits look at Apple's revenues like Congress looks at program cuts. A program "cut" in Washington speak is really spending the same as last year - the only reduction is in the increase in spending target. Double talk. Apple doomsayers see Apple's quarter is "only" producing less obscene profits, and therefore it's a fail. Come on.

Beautiful flutes I ordered these stemless champagne flutes to personalize for my bridesmaids and the moms in advance of my wedding. The glasses are a nice durable quality and look very sleek. Highly recommend! July 23, 2015

Love these! I have been eyeballing these for quite a long time at my local WM. I really don't need MORE champagne glasses or flutes but just loved the look of these and the fact they don't have a stem! so they aren't easy for guests or myself, to knock over. I use them at brunch for my mimosa's. Everyone loves them and I am often asked where I purchased them from! January 16, 2011
Perfect for parties These stemless flutes are perfect for champagne cocktails. Terrific to use when giving baby showers or wedding showers. April 1, 2010

China Glaze Hunger Games Nail Lacquer
China Glaze & Hunger Games Collection: Colours from the Capitol
China Glaze Colours from the Capitol Collection is slated for March launch. It features twelve shades with each shade being named after a different district. This post features these six: Hook and Line, Luxe and Lush, Mahogany Magic, Riveting, Smoke and Ashes, and Stone Cold. Reader Kim did an excellent job explaining the names-to-district component.
- Hook and Line is a warm gray with threads of pale silver. This shade is named after District 4 for fishing. It's opaque in two coats, but this is a little thick, streaky, and has a ton of brush strokes. The color is a little reminiscent of Zoya Dove but it's darker and warmer.
- Luxe and Lush is a duochrome top coat with various sizes of flakies that reflect gold and pink with a little blue. This shade is named after District 1 for luxury. I applied two coats so you could see it on its own as well as over Smoke and Ashes. I don't have a dupe for this shade. The closest I could think of were Zoya's Fleck Effects.
- Mahogany Magic is a warm brown with a yellow base. It was opaque in two coats. This shade is named for District 7 for lumber. Illamasqua Taint is a cooler-toned brown. Chanel Khaki Rose is lighter.
- Riveting is a vibrant orange with orange-tinted gold shimmer. It was opaque in two coats. This shade is named for District 3 for technology. Zoya Tanzy is a little lighter and has more shimmer/glitter. Nubar Arencia is similar but a touch darker. Milani Metal Gear is darker and the shimmer doesn't appear as light.
- Smoke and Ashes is an inky blue-based black with green and blue shimmer. It was opaque in two coats. This shade is named for District 12 for mining. The base color reminded me of Zoya Cynthia a bit, but it's blacker. Cult Nails Living Water has a similar look but the shimmer is more dominant and leans bluer.
- Stone Cold is a soft black with silver shimmer–and it's matte. This shade is named for District 2 for masonry. It's similar to Nubar Midnight and MAC Butterfly. Orly Iron Butterfly should also be a dupe.
The consistency of Hook and Line was the worst; a little thick, not quite goopy but close, which all resulted in a streaky finish. I had better luck with Riveting, Smoke and Ashes, and Stone Cold, which were easy to apply and didn't have any consistency concerns–they weren't too thick or too thin and applied evenly without bubbling or pooling along the sides. Luxe and Lush has a thicker consistency, which actually helps the flakies distribute fairly evenly over the nail. Mahogany Magic was on the thicker side, but it wasn't as problematic as Hook and Line.

Assistant Director: Capt. Watkins
ROTC, or military science, is a four-year program divided into basic courses in the first and second years and advanced courses in the junior and senior years. Susquehanna University offers the program jointly with nearby Bucknell University. Some classes are taught at Susquehanna; some are taught at Bucknell.
The program is designed to prepare college graduates for commission as officers in the U.S. Army. Program goals are to strengthen responsibility and integrity and develop leadership skills and the moral courage to apply those skills.
First-year students and sophomores may enroll in the program on a trial basis with no commitment either to the program or to the military. Students may choose to leave the program or continue with advanced courses to earn officers' commissions. Although the program is designed to start with new first-year students each fall, it is possible to make special arrangements to enter the program as late as the second semester of the sophomore year. Students with prior military service may validate the basic course and enter directly into the advanced course.
Students enrolled in the advanced courses receive a subsistence allowance. Students also receive books, uniforms and equipment at no cost. First-year students and sophomores may compete for U.S. Army ROTC merit scholarships that pay full tuition and fees, with an additional $900 each year for books.
Program requirements include a 32-day summer camp between the junior and senior years. Students receive a salary for the camp experience and receive travel, lodging and meals at no cost. Students also must complete one course in the area of military history.
First-year classes meet once weekly for 60 minutes; sophomore classes meet for a total of two hours weekly. Advanced-course classes meet weekly for a total of three hours. Students also are required to participate in physical-fitness training sessions (one hour each, number varies with class), and 12 hours of laboratory time throughout the semester. There also is one weekend field trip each semester.
For more information, call or email Capt. Watkins at 570-577-1246 or email@example.com.

Can't express how excited I was when I started this game and how after 3 wks. I am completely done.
Crafting? Meaningless and silly.
PvP? Structured is OK, WvW is beyond ridiculous.
PVE? Have no idea after 3 weeks how to get into a dungeon...seriously. Guildies seem to be doing them but when I asked about joining...nothing.
Goofy, meaningless, no goals, no friends, no fun. A big perk is supposed to be "finishing a map" I finished like 10 maps and NEVER once got any reward that I could use except xps and very little money.
You can't even duel anyone.
Oh and I dare you to roll a Thief and do the "My Story" chapter "Down the Hatch"--mindlessly absurd. Beyond description how bad it was. I thought it was bugged but no--it was designed to take like 3 hours. Rewards? Some xps, a few coins and gear--once again--I didn't need.

Not the games fault you have no friends
most rewards were very dumb i agree

100% of th people i joined with quit 3 weeks after hittin max level

As far as dungeons go:
--The LFG: www.gw2lfg.com
--Dungeon Basics: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dungeon
There are two modes: Story and explorable
* Story mode unlocks explorable mode. Only one person in the group has to have story mode done in order for the group to tackle explorable mode.
* Explorable mode rewards the group with Dungeon Tokens. These can be exchanged in Lion's Arch for exotic weapons, armor, and other goodies.
To start a dungeon, just be on the map that the dungeon is in and enter. See the wiki article I posted for more specifics. You can also group with people from other servers.
The most popular dungeons at the moment are Ascalonian Catacombs, Citadel of Flame, and Arah. You can still find parties for the rest fairly easily utilizing www.gw2lfg.com.
As far as dueling goes, can't you make a 1v1 group in sPvP? However, I do agree that it would be neat to either challenge people OR have a specific PvE location for duels.
As far as having no friends, try joining a different guild. If at first you don't succeed, try again.
I do hope that you come back soon.

Freeloading mooches are the scourge of the gaming community.
While I find the game fun for casual play. I am with you about the lack of social play within the game. Now people will come yelling at you on these forums calling you a hater for saying it but it is the truth. This does not mean its completely impossible to get a group going for a dungeon or other activities but it is definately harder to. Prepare for people to say your just not in the right guild. Well I have been in 3. All 3 of them have promoted their guilds as being friendly and active in all aspects of play. However the truth is they only talk during WvW and only in voice to the people involved. PVE..
GW2 suffers from the fact that 95% of the game was made to be soloable. Compounding this is that benificial effects and buffs are ground based AOEs so that you just effect those around you if you are in an area that would be considered more challenging. In most games those types of areas you would group up. In GW2 you don't have to. There is a huge difference between coexisting within a community mingling within a community. GW2 systems promotes people simply coexisting. With sharing all rewards, and AOE buffs and heals
compare this to another game. Say TERA. While there are huge areas where people solo. There are also more challenging areas and content like BAM infested areas. In those areas people actually group up to play. I have out about equal time in both games. I have built a friends list in TERA. Which most will say has a terrible community, however in grouping I have met some cool people. In GW2 I have attempted to put forth the same effort to group up. I have only managed to add 1 person to my friends list that wasnt a RL friend since starting the game. Sadly she no longer plays. She went back to EVE. Why? Because she said she got tired of the lack of community and felt like she was playing a single player game most the time when she was on.

One last thing of note. I'm hoping the tweaks they made to the dungeons will make them more appealing. I enjoy the story elements of the dungeons and the atmosphere of them. If these adjustments go over well it may well help build the community somewhat.

Judging by your previos post of you praising the hell out of the game, I would say give it another shot in a few weeks. The game has no sub so there is plenty of time to go back and check it out later. It doesn't sound like you really experienced most of the game and got hung up on a bugged story quest. I just played through to the level 75 story quest on a character and did not experience any problems, so i would suggest looking up on the forums to see if anyone has this problem. Chances are it will be fixed sooner then later; the story stuff usualy gets fixed fairly quick compared to other parts of the game. I would also recommend getting help in story missions or outleveling them by some levels to make sure you can do them better if you are having problems.
Dungeons are hit or miss for most people, but they have been vastly improved since launch and can be a great experience. Some still need some work and bosses across the board need HP adjustments, but they can most certainly be fun as hell. I would say look for a big zerg guild to get your barings and use gw2lfg.com to find any groups for dungeons. Using gw2lfg.com has practically instant results most of the time or less time then it would take to find a group using a dungeon finder in other games. I was about to jump you because your original post had the quality of a usual hater, but it seems like at one point you were indeed excited about the game.
The biggest problem for most people with GW2 initially is that they just dont "get" it. It doesn't tell you what to do or hold your hand like pretty much every other post-WoW MMO. Take your time to explore the game, don't just follow hearts around, do some sPvP if you want to crack some skulls, follow a commander icon in WvW for a bit, run some dungeons, do some story missions, run some jump puzzles,ect. There is alot to do in the game and even though the progression does get to the point where it barely is worth it (exotic-> ascended gear) there is still plenty of progression there to keep you busy as well as set some goals for a while. There are also plenty of other options then a legendary if you are looking for some good looking weapons or armor. Try another class too while you are at it. There is alot to do and it will only be getting better this month with guild missions and next month with WvW rank progression.

The only thing I didn't like was the cheesy personal story (which did get a little better at the very end) and the monotonous feeling of the snowy areas...oh...and that the best city I have ever seen in a game was barely used.

There... are... four... lights!
Let me see...
- Crafting meaningless.
In GW2, at ANY level, you can craft the BEST gear for your level, with materials available at your level. Unlike WoW, where to craft anything significant, you need materials from areas higher than you and/or from dungeons/raids at max level.
My guess is that the OP hasn't understood how crafting and discoveries work in GW2.
- PvP Structured is OK, WvW is beyond ridiculous.
Spoken like a true WoW player, so used to battlegrounds and arenas than he's unable to think on a larger scale.
- PVE Have no idea after 3 weeks how to get into a dungeon...seriously. Guildies seem to be doing them but when I asked about joining...nothing.
Again, typical WoW player unable to explore, unable to ask on region chat where the next dungeon is too, maybe because he's not used to have friendly people answer questions.
And if your guildies don't want to take you in dungeons, then I wonder why they don't want... either you are in a bad guild, and then you just have to change, or your behavior doesn't make people want to take you along, and then the solution is on your side.
- Goofy, meaningless, no goals, no friends, no fun. A big perk is supposed to be "finishing a map" I finished like 10 maps and NEVER once got any reward that I could use except xps and very little money.
So you blame the game for having no friends? How convenient... Lets see, people of your guild don't want to take you with them into dungeons, and now you complain you have no friends. Could it be anything in your behavior that creates those situations? Just wondering... ask yourself the question.
And the rewards for finishing a map are more than just XP and money... remember when you rode over the whole world in WoW to get that "Explorer" title? Yep, there's such a title in GW2 too for map completion.
- You can't even duel anyone.
No comment... while a dual option would be fun (if done carefully and forbidden in cities of course), seriously, one can live without it. I will still give you this only point, even though it's really minor.
- Oh and I dare you to roll a Thief and do the "My Story" chapter "Down the Hatch"--mindlessly absurd. Beyond description how bad it was. I thought it was bugged but no--it was designed to take like 3 hours. Rewards? Some xps, a few coins and gear--once again--I didn't need.
I did "Down the Hach" without any problem, and I found it actually quite fun and also easy and not very long. Looks like a "learn to play" problem here. Hint: a thief is not a rogue you can faceroll like in WoW... you need some skill.
My conclusion?
First, let me tell you that I'm an actual WoW player, and I've been so for 8+ years since WoW beta. So I'm no WoW hater, I have two active accounts in that game.
Now my advice: If you want to enjoy GW2, you have to let go of WoW. All of it. GW2 is NOT a WoW clone. If you are unable to do that, you will most likely not enjoy GW2. I have the advantage of having played many MMORPGs beside WoW which weren't based on the WoW/EQ clone model, therefore I was able to easily adapt to GW2. But if WoW clones is all you've played, you have to let it go, clear your mind, start from scratch.
And about your problems with your guild and finding friends... tell me, did you happen to critic every single thing in GW2 on guild chat, telling them how much WoW is better? Just a guess here, based on your post. Because if you did that, I'm not surprised they didn't want to take you along on guild activities. Now if that's not what you did, well, I suggest you find another guild.

In GW2, if you don't learn to anticipate enemy actions and dodge, specially as a light armor wearer, you're going to die a lot. There's no everlasting shields that make you immune to most damage, the "oh crap" abilities have a very short duration.
The thief in GW2 is a king of mobility, and if you don't use and abuse that mobility, you're going to suck at playing a thief. It's not the WoW rogue who can "stunlock" most same level mobs to death and who has OP perma stealth abilities to get out of most situations.

I've been playing GW2 since the beta. I work a day job, have a wife and kid. The casual nature of the game suits me very well. I get in 1 or 2 hours of play time every day and a bit longer on the weekends.
I do my daily and then do some WvW with my guild. I'm on Santum of Rall which is the #2 server in wvw, which makes it more engaging to be part of a server that takes wvw seriously.
Long term I plan to get all ascended gear and finally get enough mats to get my Legendary(s). I'll be at this for a while hehe.

You could say the same about Wow or any other modern fantasy MMOs because a lot of what we call endgame is about dungeons, particularly if you dont like PvP.
Yeah, some people dont like dungeons and play the other aspects instead but you really at least should try them out before writing a review and bashing a game completely, they are a very important part of the genre.
