Having just worked the Flowertown Festival, it came to mind how much we here at the paper enjoy interacting with our community.
Each year, we set up a booth and over the course of the 3-day festival, we have hundreds of people come by to visit, take advantage of our subscription specials, have their photo taken at our photo booth, or even just to eat the free ice cream that we hand out each year because we have the scoop.
We here at the Journal Scene love the festival. It gives us a chance to do what we do best, interact with our readers, advertisers, or visitors.
At the same time, up in Berkeley County our Berkeley Independent/Gazette staff was covering the Catfish Festival in St. Stephen.
Reporter Dan Brown has had the pleasure of judging the catfish stew contest for several years now.
After the Festival on Friday night, Regional Ad Director Chris Zoeller and myself had the honor of being celebrity judges for the Shriners BBQ at the Lodge event.
Im not sure we were qualified, but we enjoyed the eating part, as well as the socializing.
At the same time, our Executive Editor Judy Watts was practicing her dance steps for her performance Saturday night at the Dancing with the ARK stars fundraising event. For those of you who missed it, the video footage of Judy and the other celebrity dancers can be seen at http://www.journalscene.com/news/Dancing-the-night-away.
Each time we attend an event we put up a photo gallery on our website at http://seenit.journalscene.com.
One of the beauties of the age in which we live is that photos that we dont have room for in the paper can be placed on our website for our followers to look at.
We also have a Facebook page and when we post a new photo gallery, we try to let our followers know it is up by posting it there. So sign up to follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/summervillejournalscene.
Some more events we have coming up include a candidates debate and a cooking show.
We will be co-hosting the debate, along with our partners, the Chamber and Pinewood Preparatory School on April 25th at 6:00 p.m. at Smith Hall at Pinewood Prep.
We expect a full house for this sure to be spirited debate.
All three mayoral candidates have confirmed attendance. With Summerville poised to have its first new mayor in almost 40 years, its an event you wont want to miss.
We have three great candidates, Bill Collins, Bill Lomax, and Dickie Miler.
Listening to them speak that night is a good opportunity to help make up your mind as to which man has the vision to lead Summerville for the next four years.
Town Council District 6 is the only opposed city council race and both incumbent Bob Jackson and challenger Billy Simons have confirmed their attendance.
On May 17, we will be bringing back the very popular Taste of Home Cooking Show to CSUs Lightsey Chapel. Culinary expert Michelle Roberts will once again prepare ten dishes on-stage.
There will be goodie bags with two magazines full of recipes, and assorted coupons and give-aways inside that are worth more than the admission price. During the event we will periodically draw names and give away lots of cool gifts.
Former anchorman, and Post and Courier multi-media producer Warren Peper and myself will be emceeing the event.
The doors open at 4 pm and the event begins at 6:30. Like last year, attendees will be able to save their seats and then head to the vendor room to visit with more than 20 vendors showing off their products and giving away samples. We listened to the feedback last year and have expanded the vendor area to two rooms. We still have room for more vendors so if you are interested in displaying at the show in front of more than 800 attendees, let Chris Zoeller know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I think one of the things we do best as your community newspaper is not only cover these events, but participate in them.
One of the most fun things about my job is meeting the public and interacting. My staff is looking forward to working the cooking show again this year. It was a long 14-hour day set up through clean up last year but well worth it.
So look for the staff of all three of our papers at the next community event you attend.
Well probably be there!

PDT Staff Writer
Dr. Gerardo Trinidad of Portsmouth has accepted a position as clinical assistant professor at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va. He also will continue seeing patients for Southern Ohio Medical Center and King's Daughters Medical Center in his office on Kinney's Lane and teaching at Shawnee State University.
Trinidad played baseball at the University of North Dakota where he was originally studying biology to become a teacher and sports coach. After a sports injury he spent time with in the orthopedic surgeon's office and discovered a real love for the field and quickly changed his study. He attended medical school and completed his orthopedic surgery residency with a fellowship in sports medicine. He opened in practice in Portsmouth in 1999 on the main campus of Southern Ohio Medical Center.
Last year, Trinidad moved his practice to a new building on Kinney's Lane and continues working with both SOMC and KDMC in Portsmouth. He also consults for surgical companies, teaches and has lectured all over the world and even right here at home as a faculty member in the Shawnee State University athletic training program.
Now Trinidad adds another title to his name — clinical assistant professor at the Marshall University School of Medicine Department of Orthopedics, working with the department director Dr. Ali Oliashirazi. As part of his work at Marshall, Trinidad will teach orthopedic residents at his office in Portsmouth.
"Part of being the faculty of the orthopedic surgery department, not only will I have residents come here to rotate, but I will go there and give lectures and give talks to the residents there in Huntington," he said. "I think right now I'm the only non-university doctor they have on faculty in the department of orthopedics. So this is a first for them to have someone out in private practice be faculty and be part of the Department of Orthopedics training program."
He said the program at Marshall will be different from the classes he teaches at Shawnee State University.
"At Shawnee State, there's no medical school, no residency program. I'm mainly associated with the athletic trainers and help them as far as athletic injuries and how we treat those. Also I've been their team doctor for the past several years," Trinidad said. "As far as Marshall, it's more dealing with future orthopedic surgeons in their training process."
He said he's excited to rekindle his early interest in teaching, and said his new office has excellent features that will help them learn.
"I think by bringing these residents here, there's an opportunity to keep some of these guys in the community. We've had difficulty trying to recruit good, quality orthopedic surgeons in our community. I think with these young, newly trained residents that come here,hopefully they'll get to know our area, get to know the town and maybe they'll like it. Maybe they'll decide this is a place they could practice and raise their family," Trinidad said.
For more information about Trinidad's practice in Portsmouth, visit their office located at Kinney's Lane in Portsmouth. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Trinidad's office is also available by phone at 740-351-0980 and online at www.trinidadortho.com.

Cincinnati hires Tuberville as head football coach
CINCINNATI — Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville has agreed to become Cincinnati's next football coach.
The agreement came one day after Butch Jones left to become Tennessee's next football coach, ending a week of uncertainty for the Bearcats (9-3). Cincinnati has won a share of four of the last five Big East titles and will play in the Belk Bowl.
Tuberville resigned as Texas Tech's coach on Saturday afternoon and was expected to be introduced at Cincinnati later in the day after a basketball game.
Tuberville takes over a program that has been a stepping stone job for the last three head coaches. Mark Dantonio, Brian Kelly and Jones all left after three years for bigger programs – Michigan State, Notre Dame and Tennessee.

Protein shakes may aid brain injury
An interesting abstract from a release today by press association here in uk.........
Drinks containing a c0cktail of protein components could prove an effective treatment for mental impairment caused by brain injuries, a study has suggested. Skip related content
Related photos / videos Protein drink may aid brain injury Scientists came to the conclusion after feeding a mixture of amino acids to brain-damaged mice.
The right balance of brain chemicals was restored in the animals and their learning ability returned to normal levels. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and an essential part of the diet.
Those given to the mice in their drinking water, leucine, isoleucine and valine, are known as branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). They are vital for the creation of two brain chemicals which play a key role in the functioning of nerves.
The two neurotransmitters glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) work together to keep brain activity in balance. Glutamate excites neurons, stimulating them to fire, while GABA inhibits them. If neurons are too excited or not excited enough, the brain does not function properly. This often occurs after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) of the sort that can happen in road accidents or on the battlefield. Previous research had suggested that people with severe brain injuries showed improvements in their mental capabilities after being injected with BCAAs.
Scientists tested the effect of brain injuries on the ability of mice to remember an electric shock. A week after receiving a mild shock in a recognisable cage, normal mice tend to "freeze" when placed in the same surroundings. This is a fear response showing that they anticipate another shock after remembering what happened the first time they were in the cage.
Brain injured mice demonstrated fewer freezing responses, a sign that their learning was impaired. When the brain-injured animals were given water containing the amino acid c0cktail, their performance in the test was the same as that of normal mice.
The findings were published online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Study leader Dr Akiva Cohen, from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the US, said: "We have shown in an animal model that dietary intervention can restore a proper balance of neurochemicals in the injured part of the brain, and simultaneously improves cognitive performance."
Examination of slices of tissue from the hippocampus - the brain's memory centre - showed that BCAA restored the normal balance of neural activity in injured mice. Dr Cohen said if the results were reproduced in humans, patients with traumatic brain injuries could be given the amino acids in a drink.
Providing BCAAs in the diet may prove more effective than injecting them, he said. A large dose injected straight into the bloodstream could flood the brain and have a more limited effect.
Very interesting, I would love to see this tested on humans in the near future. Next concussion I get I'm drinking a protein shake.

MESA, Ariz. (April 22) – The New Mexico State women's golf team concluded the first day of the Club Glove WAC Women's Golf Championship on Monday by carding a 24-over-par 312 and finishing in a tie for sixth place.
The conference tournament, being played at the par 72, 6,163-yard Longbow Golf Club, will resume on Tuesday with the second round and conclude with the final 18 holes on Wednesday.
The Aggies are led by freshman Kacey Dalpes who finished in a tie for seventh place with four other golfers at 3-over 75. Dalpes carded three birdies on the day and will head into the second round seven shots behind the lead.
Fellow freshman Viviana Macias also shot a round in the 70s on Monday. Her 5-over-par 77 leaves her in a tie for 19th heading into round two.
Junior Amelie Buhl tied Dalpes for the Aggie lead in birdies, also sinking three on the day. Two of those birdies came on par-3 holes. Buhl shot a combined 1-under-par on the four par 3s, which tied her for the best score on the par 3s during the first round.
Buhl finished in a tie for 27th after shooting an 8-over 80. Joining Buhl in the group tied at 27th is NM State sophomore Laura Barron who also finished round one at 8-over-par.
Rounding out the Aggie lineup is sophomore Paige Darwin who will start the second round in 35th place at 12-over-par 84.
Denver leads the WAC Championship after carding a total-team score of 7-over-par 295. San Jose State and Texas-San Antonio sit two shots back at 9-over 297 and will start the second round in a tie for second.
Individually, Denver's Tonje Daffinrud shot a 4-under-par 68 to take the lead heading into round two. Tonje, who is one of the top 50 players in the country according to golfstat rankings, has a two-shot lead over Regan De Guzman of San Jose State who will start the second round at 2-under 70. Texas-San Antonio's Allie Johnston rounds out the top 3 at even par 72.
Tuesday's second round begins at 8:30 a.m. (MT). Remember to follow the action live with live scoring at www.golfstat.com or log on to NMStateSports.com after round two for updated Aggie team and individual results.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, November 21, 2013
|A very easy and yummy low-fat vegan dinner: steamed broccoli, baked tofu with Huli Huli Sauce, Corn Pudding, brown basmati rice and roasted squash.
The first thing I need to post is the Huli Huli sauce. I posted the photo above on my Facebook page a couple of weeks ago and promised to post the recipe for the Huli Huli Sauce "soon". Well, I am finally getting around to it-- sorry to be so slow! Huli Huli Sauce is of Hawaiian origin and the "Huli Huli" part derives from the meaning, "to turn". The sauce was used on food turning on a spit-- hence, the name. Judging by the ingredients (which vary a little from version to version), the sauce has been a bit Americanized over the years, and the sauce is used as a type of barbecue sauce. This is my own particular version, which we think is quite yummy.
|Baked tofu with Huli Huli Sauce (recipe below)
Printable Recipe
Servings: 4
Yield: about 1 cup
Use as a grilling, baking or BBQ sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce (can be low-sodium)
2 Tbs dry or medium sherry
2 Tbs ketchup (can be low-sodium)
2 tsp dark sesame oil
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
1 large clove garlic, crushed
a few shakes of hot sauce
a few shakes of liquid smoke
Whisk together the ingredients. Marinate your tofu, seitan, Soy Curls, tempeh or whatever in the sauce for a while, if you have time. Then grill, bake (at about 450 °F), BBQ or broil your food until the sauce soaks in and your food has nicely browned. I didn't have time to marinate it, so I just baked thick firm tofu slices until they soaked up most of the sauce and browned a bit.

I've been experimenting lately with using bean flours for thickening sauces, gravies and soups (more recipes to come). Using bean flours instead of white flour thickens mixtures such as this while adding fiber, protein and other nutrients to what might have been an almost empty calorie condiment. It's also handy for converting your sauces and gravies and cream soups to gluten-free and soy-free, and great for diabetics and those on low-glycemic and low-fat diets. The results have good depth of flavor and a lovely creaminess. So, far, I've only used chickpea flour and white bean flour, which are very versatile. You can substitute white bean flour measure-for-measure in place of white flour for thickening purposes. (Still checking chickpea flour sub amounts.)
|Freshly-milled white bean flour from my new Wonder Mill-- you can also buy this flour in some natural food stores and online. Bob's Red Mill and Barry Farms are well known brands that carry it. I mill it from white navy beans, which are less expensive than the white kidney beans I usually use for cooking.

My latest gravy recipe is a new bean-based version of my Southern-style biscuit gravy. You can bulk it up with Soy Curls (read about Soy Curls here) or other chicken subs, or vegan sausage, if you like. DH went crazy over it! (And, if you are counting calories, nix the biscuits and serve it on a steamed or baked potato, or whole grain toast or fat-free waffles.)

I've been utilizing my oven's broiler ALOT these days, as we have been watching our calories. I spread veggies, or sliced tofu in a marinade, or reconstituted Soy Curls, etc. on a cookie sheet sprayed with a little oil from a pump sprayer, add any seasoning I might want, spray with a little oil from the pump sprayer again and place about 4-5 inches under the hot broiler. In just a few minutes they start to char a little and vegetables soften. I stir them around and cook for a few more minutes. In about 6 to 8 minutes, my food it cooked through and browned, with virtually no fat and not much effort.
Sometimes I use this method for a simple vegetable side dish an sometimes I use it as an alternate to stir-frying. I love doing leeks this way-- they get so soft and sweet and juicy. Give it a try!

Love all the recipes! I've been looking for more ways to use chickpea flour. It's easy to find, so I hope it is interchangeable with the white bean flour. I've never seen it.

Can bean flour be used in place of other flours for anything, such as baking? I've been using whole wheat spelt flour for awhile, but it sounds like bean flour might be healthier.

Sheryl, bean flours would problematic for baking. You could add a little bit just for some extra nutrition, but there is no gluten in bean flour, and they have a stronger taste, so they can't be used measure-for-measure instead of white flour in anything except for thickening. Bean flours are not "healthier" than whole grain flours-- they are higher in protein, yes, but we need a varied diet and both legumes and whole grains can play a part.

Thank you so much for these beautiful recipes, Bryanna! When I first embraced veganism, I never imagined there were so many choices out there and so many fantastic recipes. Bryanna, could you please tell me if I'm supposed to use a special vegan sherry and what about wine? Is it vegan or if not, could you give me the names of vegan wines please. Thank you so much for your help!

Lucille-- some wines are vegan and some are not, depending on how they are clarified (fined). See http://www.vegansociety.com/lifestyle/food/drinks/
Here is a page that shows some vegan sherries and other liquors; http://www.veggiewines.co.uk/popularspirits.htm#sherry

Found this on another forum it got some real interesting answers.
You are chosen to compete against 9 other people, a battle to the death. All ten of you are locked in your neighborhood Home Depot. The place is closed and lit by flood lights above exits and other misc. lights that make action movies look sweet. The goal is to kill one another to become last man standing. Last person alive gets to leave, and a unlimited hd gift card.
You are allowed to choose 3 pieces of equipment to aid you. Anything with a bar-code counts as one piece of equipment. For example, if you choose a nail gun, then a container of nails will be needed, so that would equal two pieces of equipment. You can only use the weapons you choose originally. No area of the home depot is off limits. The outside gardening area is in play, the only sealed doors are the exterior ones.
What three items would you choose and what would be your strategy?

American Cancer Society Seeks Volunteers for Local Relay For Life Event
As you consider how you can make a difference in the coming year, consider joining the fight against cancer by volunteering for Relay For Life, an event that benefits the American Cancer Society's mission to eliminate cancer. Volunteer positions are still available, and more information about these volunteer opportunities will be provided at the next Relay For Life planning meeting on February 2nd, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at the AmeriState Conference Room in Antlers.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a fun-filled, overnight event that mobilizes communities across the country to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to the disease, and raise money for the fight to find a cure. Survivors and cancer patients, caregivers, their families, businesses, civic organizations and the public are invited to form teams to take part in this exciting team event. Teams raise funds prior to the Relay, all with the goal of supporting a cure for cancer.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit Relay For Life teams, seek community support for the event, recruit cancer survivors and caregivers to participate in the event, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend their support in many other ways, as well.
It is never too late for you to join the fight against cancer. For more information or to get involved with the 2012 Relay For Life of Pushmataha County, please attend the meeting on February 2nd or talk to a local Relay For Life participant. For more information about cancer, call the American Cancer Society's 24-hour help line at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

It appears the Aiken County treasurer's race will be decided today.
A winner may be announced because the county Registration and Elections Commission is required to transmit certified election results to the S.C. Election Commission today, and there is no way around that, according to Cynthia Holland, Registration and Elections executive director.
Workers continued counting until midnight Friday, but election officials conceded they would have to continue counting today to meet the 5 p.m. submission deadline.
The process moved more quickly after Aiken County IT got an audit program up and running towards the end of the business day that generated 57 pages showing how many votes each candidate received. However, the program did not count name misspellings towards a candidate's final total so workers have to go through each variation.
Votes in 38 precincts were counted Thursday before the audit program came online. There are 76 voting precincts in Aiken County.
No official numbers have been released. According to the state Election Commission, 16,063 write-in votes were cast for treasurer.
The candidates for treasurer are John Cagle, Debra Folk, Jason Goings, Angela Gunter, Faye Hatcher, Melissa Oremus, Francis Pennington, Robin Saylor, Ed Smith, Sonya Spray and Mike Wheelis.
Two tables of counters were added Thursday. While still hand counting, one person called out the write-in candidates' names one-by-one as they appeared on the ballot tape, and three other people kept hash marks tallying the votes.
A tape is a printout of tallied votes cast in every precinct. Because each candidate for treasurer was a write-in, a tape shows the total number of write-in votes, but not how many went to which candidate. Then, it lists every single name that was written in as many times as it was written in. For example, if 100 people wrote Ed Smith's name on the electronic ballot in precinct 17, Ed Smith's name appears 100 times on the tape.
If the hand-count totals did not match the write-in totals, the tapes were recounted.
Write-in candidates Sonya Spray, Angela Gunter, John Cagle, Melissa Oremus and Jason Goings were keeping their own personal tallies.
Gunter thanked the counters when, after an initial count of a tape, they realized the numbers did not match up. After a recount, they found two votes they had missed, one of which went to Gunter.
"Thank you for taking the time to find it," Gunter said. "Hallelujah."

I came across this website many times but never had the courage to sign-up and write... The first time I found this site was when I was in the hospital on bedrest back in June 2009.
Here's my Story....
September 2000 - I gave birth to a wonderful and loving son. My pregnancy was absolutely wonderful. Nothing went wrong until I went into labor the doctor's informed me that I had to be induced because my BP was 200/120 and that they believe I had pre-eclampsia. It was all well and good because on that exact date was my due date so I was exactly 40 weeks when I delivered him.
May 2008 - I went to the doctor for my 20 weeks sono and check to find out I was having a little boy. I was so excited and overjoyed. Then the next day while I was @ work I started spotting. Went to my doctor to get checked and she informed me that I was 3-4cm dilated. I'm like what?!?! I'm not having any contractions or anything. So I was rushed to the hospital where they checked me again and said that I closed back up to 1cm but that membrane (sack) was starting to come through the birth canal and there was nothing they could do for me. So on May 3, 3008 after 15 hours of labor I gave birth to my sleeping son Elijah @ 20 weeks.
June 2009 - "Pregnant with a little girl" was the best news I heard in years. I was so over joyed I just knew my family would now be complete. The pregnancy was not like any of my other(s). It was so hard. I had to have surgery for a cerclage @ 16 to help with the Incompent Cervix. So I was on bedrest from 16 weeks on... Never had a cerclage before so I didn't know what to expect. I was going back and forth the docs like 3 times a week with pulling achy pain. I just knew the cerclage was not working; but it was! I now know that that's what it does as your cervix tries to open the cerclage pulls back to keep it closed. (This is all normal). Then around 20 weeks my BP would start to go up and down like every other visit. 21 weeks in I spilled level 1 protein in my urine and the next week went back to the doctor's and it was gone. Then around 22 weeks started spilling again; still level 1.
Then the I went from being on moderate bedrest to strict bedrest. Around 24 weeks my levels of protein keep raising... The doc's my OB & my peri or MFM told me to keep drinking more and more water to clear my kidney's etc... But that didn't do anything. Finally around 25 weeks, I went in for a check up thinking I had a yeast infection from the vaginal prosterone to help for the Incompent Cervix. Come to find out no infection but my BP was really high like 140/100 and my protein level was a +4. I now bought myself a trip to L&D. I stay in L&D for about 3 days where my BP went up and down. Finally on the fourth day my doc's decided to give my the steriod shots because they knew it wasn't looking to good and that I would probably deliver in the next couple of days.
I was given the steriod shots on day 4 and 5 of being in L&D. On day 6 I given (MAG) and transferred to the Trauma hospital where my MFM doc's work so they can better monitor me and treat the baby because they have a level 3 NICU. I stayed in the other hospital for 2 days and on the 3rd day I woke up that morning feeling like as if I was going to die. I told my husband to please go get the doctor because I'm not feeling to good. Five doctor's came in and said Mommy it's time and I cried for about 20 minutes and they prep me for emergency surgery. C-section lasted about 1 1/2 hours My baby girl came out crying her eyes out. They rushed her up to the NICU. She was doing fabulous even though she was under weight for her gestional age. She was only 1.5 pounds and should have been more like 2.5 or more. The pre-eclampsia had destroyed the placenta and she has slowed down in growth.
Day 1 of her life she was fighting and beating all the odds. Day 2 she kept fighting and beating all the odds. Goin into day 3 out of no where so just took a turn for the worst and after running every test in the world they could figure out what was happening and why it was happening but her organs starting shutting down and she passed away. I had no clue that she was going to pass. I know the life of a preemie they have there good and bad days so I just knew that's what it was. But now she's gone. The ache and pain that I feel is like no other. My husband and I don't have any children together and I'm praying for is just one of our own. I can't replace any of the two that I lost and in there own way they touched my heart and life forever.
My 2010 plan is to go for a preconceptiopn consult with my same MFM doc's who treated me for my IC. I want to be test for everything in the world. I want to know what is or how I should prepare for next time. My pre-eclampsia went from mild to severe in the matter of days so I didn't have time to prepare or try to deal with it through bedrest. I keep reading so many different stories of if you had it bad one time you may or may not get it with the next or if you do it will not be as bad. I'm so scared and nervous and I just don't want another heart break. I don't want to have to bury another child every again.
Thank you all in advance for your kind words and support.... I look forward to building a friendship with you guys....

McFarlane Toys made its third trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio last week and left the shrine with yet another sellout for an exclusive Sports Picks figure.
Our Jim Brown figure featured the Browns' Hall of Fame running back in his white jersey for the first time, with two different helmet variations (one with a numeral and one without). The two versions were made in an equal production run, and eager collectors snapped up both versions.
The exclusive Jim Brown figures were available during all three days of the event, and when the tent closed up on Sunday night, the remaining 100 or so figures were sold directly to the Hall of Fame. If you missed the opportunity to pick up your exclusive Jim Brown figure, you might find one in the store inside the Hall of Fame in Canton.
Thanks to Judy Kuntz, Michelle Hunt, everyone at the Hall of Fame, and to our collectors for making the event another tremendous success.

I'll give iBooks a try using some ePub books I already have or getting some new ones from Project Gutenberg. And I'll definitely be using Kindle since I already use it on my iPhone. Not sure if I'll ever get around to B&N unless they have a way for me to get free content onto it. I'm leaning towards using Kindle though due to its cross-platform syncing (unless there's an iPhone version of iBooks in the works).
Amazon, Barnes & Noble Readying Book Stores for iPad
Confirming that it won't just be Apple's iBookstore (and your own free ePubs) on the iPad, the New York Times today mentions that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble are both working on book stores of their own. While both market their own hardware devices, the Kindle and the Nook respectively, the iPad is expected to throw a huge spotlight on eBooks in general, and they want to benefit:
The Kindle app for the iPad, which Amazon demonstrated to a reporter last week, allows readers to slowly turn pages with their fingers. It also presents two new ways for people to view their entire e-book collection, including one view where large images of book covers are set against a backdrop of a silhouetted figure reading under a tree. The sun's position in that image varies with the time of day.
At the offices of Barnes & Noble's digital unit in New York, 14 developers have occupied a windowless room since January, completely redesigning the company's iPhone app for the iPad, according to Douglas Gottlieb, its vice president of digital products. The developers hunch over Macs around a big table, and printouts and notecards are taped up on the walls.
The new app will let users flip through books quickly with finger swipes and customize fonts in multiple colors and sizes. Mr. Gottlieb said the company was talking to publishers about adding multimedia to digital books.
Neither company received one of those secret, early-access iPad units for testing, so while they may be simulator-ready for the April 3 launch, they may not want to release until they've had a chance to run their apps on the real hardware. Comic reader app Panefly, for example, thinks a bad day 1 experience with an app that worked fine in the lab but poorly on the actual iPad could "kill the train before it leaves the station".
As to whether or not Apple will approve competing bookstores for the iPad App Store, TiPb's always felt that the best indicator was Steve Jobs announcing iBooks as a separate, downloadable app rather than a built-in like iTunes Store. While this may have also reflected iBooks US-only availability, and there's never any way to tell for sure what Apple will do until they do it, at the end of the day they want to move hardware and letting existing Kindle (and Nook) owners bring over their books is a great way to lower the barrier of iPad entry.
Right now, both the Kindle for iPhone [Free- iTunes link] and Barnes & Noble eReader for iPhone [Free - iTunes link] frequire a clunky web-based work around for purchasing books, however, and it would be nice to see that process actually integrated into the apps -- like iBooks and the iBookstore.
So, given the choice, what will you be buying and reading your eBooks with -- Amazon Kindle for iPad, Barnes & Noble eBook Reader for iPad, or Apple's iBooks?

Amazon, Barnes & Noble Readying Book Stores for iPad
I was thinking they made iBooks downloadable so they could update it more frequently than simply doing OS updates. It's an app far from "finished" from what i hear.
I think Apple will allow kindle and later they'll put their own iBooks on the iPad homescreen when it's more finished. That's all the advantage Apple needs similar to Microsoft including IE in windows.
"require a clunky web-based work around for purchasing books"
Please don't make this out to be worse than it is. And shame on you for suggesting that Apple would kick Amazon or B&N out of the App Store. They could have done this long ago, but haven't, so what makes it likely now?
Buying a book on the Kindle store requires you to find the title you want, then enter an authorizing password. THAT'S IT, just like the App Store.
Is that so difficult?

"I hear what you're saying." I know you've chambered a bunch of barrels, and if I run out of time or patience, I'll do as you suggest.
I have a bunch of gun and non-gun projects running in parallel, and while the lathe oiler is a project in itself, I also need it for some other work. So if I can arrange things to have the oiler available while I'm chambering, I'll get some real use out of the thing, rather than using it for a couple of projects and then pushing it aside out of annoyance for the next ten years.
I'm queued up to chamber two Beowulf barrels, two .311 Whisper barrels, a 6.5 Ross barrel, a 9mm barrel, a .30 Gibbs barrel, a .311 Whisper* sizing die and a case forming die, a 6.5 Ross** case forming die, a .30 Gibbs sizing die and hydraulic forming die, and probably some other stuff I don't remember offhand. So I'll get *some* use out of the oiler, anyway.
Remember, "There's no kill like an overkill."
* Since SSK is pretty aggressive about their rights to the "Whisper" name, I really need to come up with another name for that wildcat, but ".311 I-Did-My-Own-Wildcat-Ha-Ha-Ha" just seemed a little... awkward, somehow...
** This one is technically a wildcat, since it involves reforming a rimmed .303 British case to fit into a shortened 6.5 Mannlicher (rimless) die and chamber, but it's so trivial I can't take any credit for it. At a loss for a name that didn't sound like total dorkage, I remembered the Ross rifle company had chambered some of their MkIIs in 6.5 Mannlicher, and then they'd come up with their own ".280 Ross", so I named it "in honor of" them, like the many "Whelen" cartridges that have no actual connection to Townsend Whelen.

Review by JoshB
Guitardo was one of the original villian toys made for the first series of Power Rangers. Although he never appeared in any Japanese version of the show, his scenes were actually shot in Japan using the old style film. (Thanks Vince!).
The toy was only sold in the US.
Guitardo came window boxed, and included a double bladed staff (not shown).
These toys don't get much respect in the US, but these are full blooded vinyl kaiju. Vinyl monsters from a Japanese show! These can be had at yard sales and flea markets for cheap!

1. Most of Santa's reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Blitzer, Comet, and Cupid. However, male reindeers shed their antlers around Christmas, so the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are likely not male, but female.

16. Ancient peoples, such as the Druids, considered mistletoe sacred because it remains green and bears fruit during the winter when all other plants appear to die.

CHILI, NY – Several Hilbert College runners achieved personal best times after competing at the Harry F. Anderson cross country race hosted by Roberts Wesleyan College September 29. The men's race was won by Gannon University while Roberts Wesleyan claimed the women's division. The Hilbert men's team took 9th place and the women's team secured a 10th place finish.
Leading the women's race with a 22:07 time was Shannon Ellis, who finished in 46th place overall after dropping 1:10 off her earlier times. Miranda Reimondo completed the 5K event in 24:33 just a few minutes ahead of Kayla Lansberry (26:02), who also earned a personal best time by 1 minute twenty-three seconds. The biggest drop in time (2:06) was by Julie Rouleau who finished in 33:50. And competing in her first collegiate race was Miranda Smith who crossed in 43:29.
Josh Walczuk keeps chopping time off his race and his 31:44 was an improvement by 2:18. Walczuk (46th place) finished two ticks ahead of Matt Williams who also improved his personal best time by 1 minute and fifty-two seconds. John Sadowski finished the 8K race in 35:34, a personal best by 2:28. He led team mate Kyle Kriegbaum by sixty-two seconds (55th place). Andrew Cartaginese (39:39) and Richard Landahl (45:04) completed the field of Hawk runners.
Hilbert has a much needed week off from competition as they will try to mend their nagging injuries in anticipation of their next race October 13 at Seneca Lake State Park. The Competition for Cross Country Only (CCOC) race is hosted by William Smith College with the women's race beginning at 11:00 am.
