NAPA Auto Supply & Equipment has announced it has teamed with NAPA AUTO PARTS' to bring customers the "Get Back and Give Back" Campaign to support the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF), a not-for-profit organization that serves United States military personnel wounded or injured in service to our nation, and their families. Throughout July, NAPA Auto Supply & Equipment customers will receive up to a $25 mail-in rebate for every NAPA battery, alternator, and starter they purchase, which they can donate all or a portion of to the IFHF. Additionally, NAPA will donate $1 to the IFHF for each redeemed rebate. Customers can also contribute via a nationwide text-to-donate program during the month by texting 'NAPA' to 27722 to make a $10 donation.
To raise awareness of the fundraising effort, NAPA Auto Supply & Equipment employees will join with participating locations of the over 13,000 nationwide NAPA Auto Care Repair Centers in swapping out their blue and yellow uniforms for grey IFHF shirts during July. The IFHF shirts bear the slogan, "We Believe in Heroes" and will be on sale, along with matching camouflage wristbands, on NAPAonline.com. All proceeds from merchandise sales will go to the IFHF. Signage will also be placed throughout the NAPA stores.
"NAPA has a very large military family, including our employees and our customers who have served or are actively serving in the armed forces," said Gaylord Spencer, VP of Marketing, NAPA AUTO PARTS. "One of our top priorities is ensuring this family has the support it deserves, especially in raising awareness for injuries such as PTSD that are often under funded, unrecognized and untreated. We're proud to once again partner with the IFHF and make it possible for Americans to contribute to the efforts of the IFHF."
NAPA Auto Supply & Equipment is proud to be part of a program that supports the families that have sacrificed for our freedom. Our team is working hard to make this program a success for our Fallen Heroes.

The Aiken Department of Public Safety is following several leads in a Tuesday night shooting at a Richland Avenue motel from which the shooting victim apparently fled.
The shooting happened at 10:10 p.m. near a stairwell in the upstairs breezeway of the Knights Inn on Richland Avenue, according to Capt. David Turno, who said it appears one person was shot.
"We believe only one person, but we do not know because they fled the scene," he said.
At press time on Wednesday, no arrests had been made.
According to Turno, two armed men came to the motel to rob a man, who had called them and asked them to meet him there. The man told officers there was a "scuffle" between the three of them, and that one of the armed men was shot, Turno said.
The victim of the attempted robbery had a minor head injury after being struck by one of the robbers with a pistol, Turno said.
Investigators are trying to determine the identities of the two men and why the victim called them there.
Police are looking for a gray Mitsubishi convertible with a black vinyl top they believe the men were driving, Turno said.
Investigators were working the scene throughout the night, and are attempting to review surveillance footage from the motel.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Aiken Public Safety at 642-7620. Individuals also should call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 1-888-CRIME–SC. Callers can remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of between $50 and $1,000.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

Now that 2013 is upon us, the Chattanooga Mocs women's golf team looks to continue to build on the momentum the program has built over the previous five seasons of competition. The year 2012 was yet another championship campaign. Let's look back on the highlights.
- Chattanooga claimed its third straight Southern Conference Championship in dramatic fashion. Trailing by more than 20 strokes midway through the second round, the ladies mounted a charge for the ages. Down two in the final round through 16 holes, the Mocs out-dueled UNCG down the stretch for a three-shot win.
- Jordan Britt captured the SoCon individual title by three shots over UNCG's Fanny Cnops, who was the 32nd ranked player in the country at the time. It marked back-to-back years UTC swept the team and medalist honors (Emma de Groot). Britt's two-year record is impeccable at the conference championship as she was runner-up as a freshman to de Groot in 2011.
- For the fifth time in five seasons of competition, the Mocs competed in NCAA Regional play, the fourth consecutive as a team. Departing senior Maria Juliana Loza added to her sterling postseason reputation with a top 20 at the NCAA East Regional, her second after finishing in the top 10 in 2011.
- Chattanooga boasted its first professional in de Groot. She earned her way onto the Symetra Tour ranking in the top 50 in eagle (32nd), greens in regulation (46) and average driving distance (48).
- Former UTC star Christine Wolf joined de Groot in the professional ranks late in 2012 but made the most of her opportunities. She won the Crete Ladies Open in just her second start on the LET (Ladies European Tour) Access Tour becoming the first Mocs women's golfer to win a professional event. She then went on to get within an eyelash of full statues on the LET before falling just shy in the final round of Q School. Wolf said, "I have full status on the LET Access Tour and partial on the LET. A majority of the year I'll play Access events and I might play a few tournaments in Florida on the SunCoast Ladies Series."
- The Mocs ended the 2012 fall schedule with a bang. The squad won the Lady Paladin Invitational for the 13th win in the program's history. Marion Duvernay claimed her first collegiate win in the event. Chattanooga has won an event every season of competition under Colette Murray.
- Academically, UTC ranked No. 10 among NCAA Division I institutions, in combined grade point average. The Mocs posted a 3.621 which nearly matched the 3.649 in 2011 which was No. 13.
- Loza and Mette Kryger earned NGCA All-American Scholar honors. Each record perfect 4.0's for the 2011-12 academic year. Britt, Duvernay and Sophie Weilguni joined the duo as all five UTC golfer made the Dean's List. Loza was also tabbed CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District for a variety of spring sports.

Undefeated Wando sits atop the Rugby South Carolina standings with one match to play in the regular season.
Wando (6-0) wrapped up its home slate with a 39-0 win over Aiken Friday at Cario Middle in Mount Pleasant. The Warriors travel to defending state champion Chapin (4-0-2) this Friday with the No. 1 playoff seed and a first-round home playoff match on the line.
Senior Davis Strobel led Wando against Aiken with three tries. Jon Cummins added two tries and Kyle Harbin one.
The Warriors started the match slow, but head coach Tod Shepherd commended his teams second-half play.
Nick Hamlin was a threat every time he touched the ball, while Austin Clark and Sean Kiernans defensive mastery shut down any chance that Aikens outside attack would score ...
Andrew Mulvany showed he has speed to burn. We just need to open a couple more holes for him to score. Ryan Springers passing and box kicks were lethal all game long ...
I was very impressed with our second rows and back row. Both Daniel Runck and Riggs Law were rucking machines. Matt Evangelista and Micah Stewart were taxi maniacs ... The front row of Garrett Leaird and Brandon Behringer were monsters in the scrums and lineouts. It was a true team effort.
Wando B-team (3-1-1) defeated Irmo, 22-15, Friday and is second in the Rugby S.C. Division II standings.

i just started reading stinger yesterday
I haven't read any of his work, but have been interested. Now reading the posts here, I'm going to have to invest in his books and add them to my Amazon wish list.
Just read Baal for the first time. It's got problems (it's a little too episodic and unfocused, the prose is weak in places, and ultimately it's too short), but overall, I enjoyed it.
I'm about halfway through McCammon's latest in the Matthew Corbett series, "The Providence Rider," and am enjoying it immensely! This series is one of my favorites. I keep picturing Matthew as Johnny Depp looked in "Sleepy Hollow." That, along with McCammon's writing, makes it doubly fun!
Just pre ordered The Providence Rider, can't wait to get it. Love the "Speaks the Nightbird" Series.... never thought historical fiction was my forte... apparently it is... :)
I have read Boys Life 5 times and will re-read many more times. Anyone who has not read this is missing one of the best novels ever published

Midwest Living Review
If you want to see Galena from a new perspective, Fever River Outfitters has you covered. You can rent bikes, canoes, kayaks and motor scooters by the hour and the day. Among the more popular options is a newer scooter tour to Galena Cellars Vineyard, about 12 miles outside of Galena. It's not cheap -- from $65 but it's a nice way to get away from the crowded downtown streets, feel the breeze in your hair and see a little scenery. Guides escort you to the vineyard, where you'll tour the operation and then sample the wares in a tasting room set up in a charming old country house. At the end, there's no need to worry about being tipsy and having to navigate your way back: Fever River Outfitters provide a shuttle. Fever River offers a similar scooter tour to New Diggings, Wisconsin, which is a historic lead mining area. The price is the same, and while there you check out a "rustic saloon" called Anton's, which has a beer garden, and the adjoining General Store. Again, a lift back to town is part of the experience.

This week Rebney called up Askren with an unusual offer, one that Askren wants to jump at.
"He just called me and said straight up, 'I think you're the best welterweight in the world,'" Askren said. "I thought, OK, where's he going with this?"
Rebney wondered aloud: "How about I let you go free if you fight GSP?"
"Dana says, 'Don't sing it, bring it.' Sounds good to me, Askren said. I'll step in the cage any day of the week. Just tell me when. That would be ideal."
"The reason I got into MMA was to see if I could be the best in the world at it. That's just my personality. So, boom, this is my shot to prove I'm No. 1 in the world. I really think I am No. 1 in the world. I don't think there's anyone that can beat me. This is what I want. It's what I'm looking for.
I think on Dana's side, it will work out well. If GSP beats my ass, I think he says, 'See, UFC is much better than Bellator.' I think if I kick GSP's ass, I could be a very good UFC champion. One that sticks around for a while. One that is entertaining to the fans. Because GSP was entertaining, but honestly the last time he had a real finish I was wrestling in the U.S. Open [in 2008]. I hadn't even considered MMA at that point. And his whole shtick. He's quiet. Very little personality. I could put the UFC welterweight division back on the map because no one really, legitimately gave GSP a run for his money."
The last time White mentioned Rebney, his words did not indicate an overwhelming desire to work with Bellator.
"The guy says, 'Yeah, we're going to let him go. Let's just part ways,'" said White. "You ain't f---ing parting ways with him. He's got a matching right and all that bulls---. This guy is a f---ing typical boxing piece of s---. Everybody knows the guy is a s---bag.

And you know what they say: the sweetest meat is closest to the bone.

Debragga's Frenched Rib chop delivers that total STEAK experience every time. And when you show off that thick, juicy steak, with that rib bone attached, mouths will be watering.

Northwest Ohio to host three British Soccer Camps for youth this summerWritten by Kevin Moore | | email@example.com
Soccer is the world's most popular sport. The United States has historically been relatively uninterested in what the rest of the world calls football, choosing instead to watch baseball and the American version of football. But in the last decade, soccer has made strong inroads into American culture and, as a result, soccer has become increasingly popular among the young people in the U.S. This summer, children and teens in the Toledo area can learn and practice the fundamentals of the game in three soccer camps in Northwest Ohio being put on by Challenger Sports.
Challenger Sports is a sports training company that was started in Kansas in 1985 by entrepreneurs Ron Matsch and Jim Jorgensen. Today Challenger Sports operates 3,000 week-long camps serving 130,000 campers across the U.S. and Canada.
"All of our camps are staffed and operated by British youth soccer coaches," said Challenger Sports Regional Director Simon Wigley. "We will have about 900 coaches this year, and they'll stay with host families in the communities where their camps are. All of our coaches have a soccer background; many played at the collegiate level back home."
All ages and skill levels are welcome at British Soccer Camps. The camps are organized into groups based on age as young as 3 and as old as 16.
"Each day the camps cover the core skills of soccer like dribbling, passing, and shooting as well as more advanced fakes and turns," Wigley said. "What's nice about our British Soccer Camps is the curriculum is individually tailored. So, if we're doing a dribbling exercise, the coach might have the beginners work on a basic dribble with more experienced players practicing more advanced techniques."
Players are divided into teams at the beginning of the week where they compete towards the "Camp World Cup" held on Friday.
"Each team picks a country to represent, and every day they earn points for winning or performing moves," Wigley said. "There's also a cultural aspect too. Players can earn points through researching their country, making a flag and sharing fun facts." Parents are invited to attend the last day of camp of Friday where the World Cup champions will be determined and there will be activities such as face painting .
Campers leave British Soccer Camp with a T-shirt and a soccer ball, and those who register 45 days in advance get a replica British soccer jersey.
"But more importantly, players learn values like respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, leadership and integrity that are important not only in soccer but in life in general," Wigley said.
"Soccer is number one in youth sports. It grows every year among kids, and it's growing overall. I think the U.S. Women's Soccer Team and NBC coverage of the English Premier League have contributed a lot to that growth," he said.
Northwest Ohio will feature three Challenger Sports British Soccer Camps this summer. Bowling Green Parks and Recreation will be hosting one at the Dunbridge Soccer Fields in Bowling Green on the week beginning June 23; Glass City Soccer at the Believe Center in Toledo beginning July 7; and the Springfield Soccer Association at Community Homecoming Park in Holland begging July 7. Prices and times vary based on age and location, but camps are generally offered 9 a.m. to noon or 5-8 p.m. Challenger Sports will accept players through the camps' start dates, and there is no limit on the number of players who can participate.

The base of annual support from alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and students is critical in supporting the University and its schools, and departments. Gifts may be designated for any program or may be unrestricted for university-wide initiatives.
- Scholarship and fellowship assistance for students and faculty.
- Discretionary resources for academic support and administration.
- Operational funding for special programs and institutional initiatives.
- Flexible capital to weather economic storms, strengthen key academic and research programs, and confront unanticipated needs.

Discussion in 'Politics' started by shitcunt, Dec 13, 2012.
how 'bout we don't consider it later, either?
She really, really wanted to testify under oath, but unfortunately it would just be too costly, disruptive, and lengthy. Oh my.
So what are Republicans going to cry about now?
whenever a politician or bureaucrat fucks up, it's always "partisan" politics to blame for derailing someone's shitty little gov't career
the good thing about a 2 party system is that each one keeps the other in check
Looks like Hillary is backing out of testifying as well. Nothing to see here, folks
house of cards, house of cards
and the wind's blowin'
The bad part is it keeps both sides from getting anything accomplished.
The good part is it keeps both sides from getting anything accomplished.
just more Obama fail. the wheels are coming off this moozlim administration
I can't wait to get home and watch fox news. I will be up all night celebrating!!
woo hoo!!!
whenever you hear a pol mention their family, their career is over
Yeah, that fucking family always gets in the way.
What a loser.
yup. it's always at the end, when nobody wants them anymore, that they resort to "i just want to spend more time with the wife and kids"
unlike susan rice, who was told in no uncertain terms, you're not going to get the nod; save yourself some embarrassment and just quit
so odd that if obamanation felt she was only being attacked for being a blaek woman, that obama would not go to bat for her; fight for her; etc.
just hide behind her skirt. like usual. Beta Male In Chief.
Rosa Parks was a civil rights hero for refusing to take a back seat on a bus; susan rice is nobody because obama threw her under the bus.
that's some OC right there
Once I heard she held stock in the keystone pipeline I knew she was toast as a nominee.
Hillary bumped her head and immediately said she can't testify
Have you heard the conspiracy that's floating around that the reason Rice was targeted was because supposedly, repubs knew that Obama was considering Kerry as a front runner after Rice and if Kerry was nominated, he'd have to vacate his senate seat...which means the repubs had an opportunity to pick up an extra seat in the U.S. senate.
Interestingly enough, it used to be that the Massachusetts governor appointed the successor, but when Mitt Romney was governor, they changed that law to block him from being able to appoint a successor to Kennedy's seat.
How thoughtful of Kerry.
oh those crazy republicans and their conspiracy theories.
ya, that one made me laugh.
could one of you liberals please point out the "conspiracy" involved here?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sustained a concussion last week after becoming extremely dehydrated and fainting while suffering from a stomach virus, the State Department said.
The 65-year-old Clinton is recovering at home and has been advised by her doctors to continue to rest and avoid strenuous activity and cancel all work events for the next week. She had been scheduled to testify before a pair of congressional panels looking into the Sept. 11 attack against a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

Pretty Little Liars
Lucy Hale's Preppy Look at the TeenNick HALO Awards: Hot or Not? (PHOTO)
It was a red carpet kind of weekend for our girl Lucy Hale (Aria), who was seen at the TeenNick HALO Awards on Saturday (November 17) and then at the American Music Awards on Sunday.
While the Pretty Little Liars star went for a classic black gown at the AMAs, she donned a preppier, more Spencer-esque (Troian Bellisario) ensemble at the HALO Awards in LA. Lucy was seen posing for pics in a collared Cameo dress, black Pelle Moda shoes, and a gold Jennifer Fisher ring.
Aside from arriving in style, the brunette actress was in good company at the awards, seen hanging out backstage with actor/rapper Nick Cannon.
What's your take on Lucy's getup? Is it unique and adorable, or would you rather see her in something more classic? Let us know in the reaction buttons below!

Yadkin County Humane Society President Carmen Headen delivered a check in the amount of $150 to Yadkin County resident Ben Hooker for Animal Cruelty Training that will be held April 29 through May 3 in Greensboro.
Headen wrote a letter to the ASPCA requesting for a grant for Hooker to attend the training.
Headen said that Hooker approached the Yadkin County Humane Society regarding funding for the training, which was a total of $600. Although YCHS wanted to fund the training entirely, they had to make sure they were utilizing their monies in a profitable way.
"We wanted to make sure the Animal Cruelty Training will be utilized for the Yadkin County animals," Headen said. "Hopefully, the sheriff's office will use Hooker in situations to where the animal(s) need to be assessed and removed from situation."
Headen said $600 is a lot to the YCHS and decided to ask for a grant or donations for Hooker to take the class.
"We are a small county and we are behind in the times. The mentality of the residents is not up-to-date on how to treat your animals/pets," Headen said.
Headen said that she feels Hooker is the perfect person to send to this training.
"He is a true voice for the animals," Headen said. "He is very dedicated and has a great passion for the animals. He wants to educate the public about how to take proper care of their pets. He is a true animal lover."
Hooker still needs a $150 to attend this training. He is taking time off from his job and paying for his own meals and hotel stay.
Anyone interested in supporting Hooker can call Carmen Headen at (336) 679-2377.

Piedmont Realty and Management Group, LLC has taken the reigns from Garrison Realty in Yadkinville.
Roxanne Buck, a 13-year employee at Garrison Realty, grabbed the opportunity to take over the real estate location when Gary Garrison decided to sell in fall 2012.
"I have been broker in charge of Garrison Realty since the 2009 death of Mrs. Garrison who started the business in 1970," Buck said. "The ownership went to Gray but he could not be broker. Gary focused more on the construction part of the business and I ran the residential part."
Buck said that she had considered venturing out on her own for quite some time but she was never able to create a financial plan that gave her the results she was looking for.
"I decided to put my plans on hold and continue to work towards it later on," Buck said. "Then when this opportunity came up I thought 'here is my chance and I would be a fool not to take this opportunity'. I never want to say later on what if."
Buck was able to maintain the agency's location however she could not continue to operate under Garrison Realty as the name was a proprietorship and she would be forced to change the company's dealings.
She opted to change the name to Piedmont Realty and Management Group, LLC and the rest of the business has not ventured far from the original.
Buck said that she has made some expansion by venturing outside of the county.
"Garrison Realty was only doing Yadkin County and the outskirts of the county but I have moved on into Surry, Forsyth, Davie, Wilkes and Iredell Counties," Buck said.
Buck said that Piedmont Realty does property management for residential and commercial owners and that they manage three small apartment complexes in the county.
"Real estate sales have been picking up since August of last year," Buck said. "I have been really busy. We had a few bumps in the beginning but I'm really just trying to get the name back out there and let people know that we're still here and we're still offering the same services that were here many, many years ago."
Buck feels that her agency can offer Yadkin residents and those who are looking for property in the Yadkin area a more attentive and educated agent than an agency in Winston-Salem could offer.
"I feel like we can do the same if not better service than what Winston-Salem agents can offer," Buck said. "They are listing properties in Yadkin County but those agents are not as accessible as an agent that lives and works in Yadkin County."
Buck said that Piedmont Realty currently employs two part-time agents but she would like to hire another agent to work full-time or an agent who could work part-time but has a very flexible schedule.
In the meantime, Buck is focusing on raising awareness of the agency and venturing further into commercial sales and management.
"We are definitely always looking for new clients to take on," Buck said. "We are especially interested in customers who have rental property that we can manage for them. I am confident that we could cut them a pretty good rate."
Piedmont Realty offers services to buy, list, sell, rent or referrals. The agency is a member of Multiple List Service.
Piedmont Realty can be contacted by calling 336-679-2007 or by visiting their website at www.piedmontrealty.net.
Reach Lindsay Craven at 679-2341 or at email@example.com.

(AP) WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's special envoy to Sudan and South Sudan is stepping down after two years on the job.
In a statement Monday, Obama praised Princeton Lyman for his role in helping South Sudan achieve independence. The president said the people of Sudan and South Sudan have the opportunity to "seize a brighter future" because of his envoy's efforts.
South Sudan, backed by the U.S., became an independent nation last year following a peace deal that ended years of civil war. Still, key disputes remain between the neighbors.
The White House said Obama plans to name a new special envoy to the region.

The Constellation Quest Ferrari by Vertu derives its inspiration from the sharp curves of the Italian sports car manufacturer's '458 Italia' car. And yes, it comes with the iconic Ferrari logo too, the prancing horse. Ferrari cars come with custom-made plush leather interiors. Vertu's Constellation Quest Ferrari doesn't fall short in that category either: the front portion of the handset has leather exteriors with the Cavellino Rampante logo embossed on it. And it needn't be said that the leather is the same hand-made Italian calf ones used by Ferrari in its cars.Read More »

Father's Day slipped up on me this year. No, I didn't forget to call my dad and share a few minutes on the phone with him. And I'll see him sometime in the next few weeks when I head to DeLand for vacation.
But I usually like to honor all the dads out there with some thoughts in this column. Since I believe that every day should be one that we honor and pay tribute to our dads, it's not too late to wish all the dads, step-dads and surrogate dads out there all the best.
I love watching our local coaches as they coach their sons and daughters. There is something special about watching the bond between parent and child strengthen on a baseball diamond, football field or basketball court.
For many of us, our dad was our first coach who taught us the finer points of the sports we love today. Maybe he didn't get it right all the time, but he tried to teach us the basics. If we were lucky, our dad was even more interested in teaching us the basic skills needed to succeed in life.
When we were kids, I doubt many of us understood how tired our dad was after work, when he took time to play catch with us in the backyard before supper. I can think of better ways for a father to spend his time than coaching Little League baseball, YMCA basketball or Pop Warner football.
Through the years, my dad coached dozens of other boys on countless teams, just as many of your dads have done. I'm sure many of you share similar memories of an old duffel bag used to hold baseball bats, balls and the catcher's equipment of shin guards, a chest protector and mask.
That bag of baseball stuff stayed in the trunk of Dad's car so he would have it if he was running late to practice or a game.
My dad grew up in the 1930s and 40s, when baseball gloves were primitive even by the standards of the 1960s and 1970s. Maybe that's why he always insisted on his players catching the ball with two hands.
More than 40 years after he coached my last Little League game, I can still hear Dad shouting, "If the good Lord had meant for you to catch a ball with one hand, he wouldn't have given you the other one."
Whether your dad is 5-foot-7 or 6-foot-8, when you were in the first or second grade, he seemed 10 feet tall. I hope you had a good enough relationship with your dad that you tried to walk in his stride or try his shoes on for size.
My dad would tell me that I might get to be 6-foot-6 and weigh 280 pounds, but I'd never be able to whip him. I never made it to 6 feet, but I have tipped the scales at more than 300 pounds, and Dad is now a feeble old man. I want to believe that he can still whip me and that those strong arms that once carried me can still handle his share of the load.
Dad's health is failing now, and I'm surprised and thankful he was still around to celebrate Father's Day 2013. There's a good chance he won't be around for next Father's Day or even for his birthday in late October.
I celebrate Father's Day every day now. I call Dad each day to tell him how much I love him. I know we will never play another game of catch or shoot baskets again on an old asphalt basketball court, but it doesn't matter.
Each day remains a gift to share a laugh or just to remember while strengthening a bond that only a dad and his boy can know.
It may not be Father's Day, but call your dad. You'll be glad you did.

Applique Lace Dress
Style # 215837
Turn heads in super sexy lace with fall attitude. This bebe dress features beautiful applique, a sheer neckline and nude lining. Try yours with a pair of metallic sandals and a minaudiere to elevate your look.
- 100% nylon
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 35" (89 cm)
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 3.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Tona Nice but the fit is not that good Love the concept but it fits too tight in the bottom and too loose at the chest and shoulders. And of course wearing a bra to add some upper volume is difficult, because it shows through, since the mesh is cut low, even on the front. Would have to tailor it but I'm not sure it's worth the expense... September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by DAYITA67 beutiful this is a beautiful dress and fits perfect, i have it on red and recieved many complements, i loved it!!!! June 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by domesticdiva15 Pretty but not for me The color of this dress is stunning and it was figure flattering but it felt too oriental for me. True to size- 5'5 110lbs and xs fit perfect. May 21, 2013

Disaster Management Director Participates in Salvation Army Disaster Workshop
Disaster Management Director, Thad Hicks recently participated in The Salvation Army Disaster Directors meeting in Tampa, Florida. Hicks gave a presentation on the topic of Recognizing & Overcoming Compassion Fatigue. Compassion Fatigue is a state where a person who is helping traumatized people becomes preoccupied with those people by re-experiencing the traumatic events they were told about.
The workshop attendees were Salvation Army Emergency Managers from all over the South Eastern United States. According to Hicks, "This meeting was a great opportunity to network with professionals in the disaster field who will potentially be hiring our disaster management graduates."
The workshop was held at The Florida Divisional Disaster Warehouse in Tampa, Florida. The Florida division of The Salvation Army is quite familiar with disaster response. Their location, directly in the path of most hurricanes, requires that they be equipped and well prepared. They currently operate a 50,000 square foot warehouse full of supplies, 42 Emergency Canteens, 2 Mobile Field Kitchens, 1 Communication Unit, 1 Command Units, and 5 Shower Units. According to warehouse staff, prior to the 2012 hurricane season, the warehouse held over 770,000 bottles of water.
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. One of The Salvation Army's premier ministries is their response to emergencies and disasters around the world.

2-man kata should only be used to intro a technique. Work on the actual mechanics, and what result you are looking for. You then have to drill it full speed so you can you it in sparring.
Then spar, pummel or roll and try to include it into your game.

You don't lose techinques by not doing kata. You can still teach techniques without ever doing a kata. My kata issue is that people do a bunch of moves one after another and try to deduce this move means this or whatever, and don't drill the move itself, or use it fighting (sparring). Applying it in a fight when the other person isn't cooperating and you won't even nessecarily use it at all is how you get good with it, not just performing the motions. USE it, don't just fightsurbate.
And no, you can still teach those "hundreds of techniques" by themselves.

Forms are not neccissary. They are not a requirment to be a martial artist. However, forms are benificial. You WILL improve your balance, coordination, and form. You can improve those other ways, but that doesn't mean forms are useless. It's an exercise you can do by yourself with no need for equipment, and as KC pointed out it is a good nmemonic device for remembering techniques. IMO forms should be a small portion of your workouts with sparring, shadowboxing, and more physical exercises being your main workout. I like forms because they add variety to my workout, it just keeps it interesting and I don't get bored as easy. Once you have forms down they start to lose their benificialness. To become a better fighter you need to do more FIGHTING. Anyway, that's my view on forms.

You don't lose techinques by not doing kata. You can still teach techniques without ever doing a kata.
True dat, but have you ever tried to remember hundreds of different responses to hundreds of different techniques? I think KC put it best when he described it as a mnemonic device.
As we all know, martial arts have remained stagnent for a long time, and frankly, I think they're still way behind the rest of the world.
I mean, for Christ's sake, 80% of all martial arts knowledge is still being passed down orally! Yeah, you could argue in favor of books, but then you'd have to produce at least 10 that don't suck. With kata, you've got a way of memorizing everything at your disposal.
My kata issue is that people do a bunch of moves one after another and try to deduce this move means this or whatever
At this point I'm afraid I'm going to have to sigh loudly, kind sir. Like I said, we already know WHAT the move means. But finding other ways of using the move, to make it more universaly applicable, is where the interpretation comes in.
and don't drill the move itself, or use it fighting (sparring.
Yeah, but now you're just falling back on stereotypes of traditional martial artists sitting in horse stance for hours on end in front of a sunset whilst drinking chai. You think people who never practice their moves are shitty fighters? GRACIOUS!!!HERESY IN ADDITION!! What's that got to do with anything? How often a person drills themself is completely unrelated to whether or not they do kata. And kata works especially well for people like me, who hit the heavy bag until their knuckles are one giant misshapen bruise, but whose only potential training partner--a wrestler, no less--is TOO AFRAID TO SPAR WITH ME. I can't practice throws and deflections on a bag. It's that simple. But I don't want to be making excuses for my lazy ass, so I do the closest thing: the motions.
Applying it in a fight when the other person isn't cooperating and you won't even nessecarily use it at all is how you get good with it, not just performing the motions.
Wait, haven't you just been making mad, angry, throbbing love to the concept of two-man drills this entire thread? Why are you automatically assuming that if I DO perform drills with a person, I'm going to tell them to let me do it? You're putting kata practioners in a Catch-22 here. You criticize them for not drilling (based entirely on assumption, of course, since you didn't even know what kata is at the beginning of this discussion), then you go and make ANOTHER insane assumption that if what we're doing works, then we must be practicing wrong. Ya know Nihilly, when you make assumptions, you make an "ass" of "u" and "mption".
USE it, don't just fightsurbate.
Sometimes, me and a friend have kickboxing matches, but he only permits use of pelvic thrusts. Is that fightsurbating? Or is it just flat-out gay sex?
And no, you can still teach those "hundreds of techniques" by themselves.
But then you'd need some definitive reference source to keep track of all of them. How would you do that? Create a governing body? Write a tawdry tell-all book? Remember, the martial arts, especially traditional ones, are incredibly fractured. Getting them to agree on ANYTHING would be like subscribing to Sam's Club, in taht you get great savings, but at what cost?Captain's Log: Just a little update for all my TRUE and HONEST friends out there:

"2-man kata should only be used to intro a technique. Work on the actual mechanics, and what result you are looking for. You then have to drill it full speed so you can you it in sparring.
Then spar, pummel or roll and try to include it into your game."
I disagree, 2 man Kata are the drill, a kata without intent is nothing. All those drills you talk about are 2 man Kata your teacher just invented, and they may be even better for you then an older Kata, but why not learn from other older sources as well.
And as opposed to many of you, I don't believe you get good through practicing against an opposing person. You get good by doing the technique as good as you can. At first, this means an assisting partner, then a co-operating one, later a neutral one (yet intent in his attack), only then you would go for an opposing person.
you would get the technique right, if you have done it right for lots of times (in the hundred thousands) on different people. Most of the times would be with a cooperative partner, only a minority would be an opposing one.
Sparing, pummeling or rolling are important, but they are NOT the time to build your technical abilities. Those should be applied easily due to practice, leaving this type of training to develop other more important qualifications, such as sensitivity, tactical sense, timing, placement & position, and understanding the opportunity to apply the technique you already know.

I was doing some hsing-i last night, an art that is almost all form, but anyone one on the recieving end isn't going to argue that its not effective. You don't need a sparring partner to learn how to generate power, just someone to tell you what you're doing wrong.

A note on 2 man sets.
They shouldn't be simply choreograhed fights. I've played them that way but eventually you have to stop giving it away for free.
In one of the Hung gar 2 mans there is a point where the other guy has grabbed both your arms and your supposed to use a technique which simultaneously applies a wrist lock and faces smash. On most people this point in the form is just silly. Then there's this one guy who hangs sheet rock for a living. He always snickers at this point because he can actually grab you arms in a way that is damn hard to get out of. You have to really find the technique.
There are other points where maybe attack and the other guy blocks and if my partner is new to the form I can just blast right through his block or change the angle or footwork slightly so he falls over. Both partners need to really push each other and find the weaknesses in each others techniques.
I can throw a hook with the intent to smash his face. If I know how he tends to block I can throw a hook with the intent to rock his balance.
If you don't do forms there will be certain situations you won't be prepared for. You will tend to only train a few basic techniques and make the most of them. That's good. I'm not advocating intentionaly using all that weird stuff but you DO occasionally find your self in some awkward situations.
Mainly I look at is a progression:
1. one man sets - basic skills, stances etc.and just plain physical conditioning. The vocabulary of your style. Learn this and then your instructor can conveniently give you advice. Every movement has a name. Instruction has a point of reference.
2. 2 man sets - Applications. Only a very limited amount of many styles techniques can be used against a bag. Not jsut takedowns but slipping, grabbing, simultaneous blocking and striking, pulling his arm down to hit his pace etc. Also this makes the techniques NOT VAGUE.
3. Sparring - Of course you should spar. Some people are naturally suited to this but many need some sort of intermediate steps between drilling single techniques and sparring. I used to do a lot more sparring than I do now. I didn't have the tools and I learned that sparring was scary and my technique all went out the window. Now I know that sparring is FUN! and my technique is much more varied and unpredictable because of the remedial work I spent on forms.
Of course I feel some forms are WAY better than others.Fighting evil and upholding justice in blue silk pajamas baby!
Bah!!! Puny Humans.

Big Win For Hawks Over D'Youville
Win Streak Continues

HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert College captured their first Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference victory of the season, beating D'Youville College 94-55 in men's basketball November 28. With the win, the Hawks exploded to the program's best start in Division III history as they improved to 5-1 overall and 1-0 in league. D'Youville, still searching for their first win of the season have been outscored by their opponents by an average of almost forty points per game. Dan McFarland was eight for fifteen from the floor scoring 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead eleven players in the scoring column.
McFarland scored seven of the game's first nine points, as Hilbert went on a 9-0 run by 18:18. By 10:34 Hilbert led by 19 points (25-6) when Jordan Kumro laid the ball in the net off a CJ Hodge assist. Jerame Owens made it a 20-point game (2:59) after he converted his steal into points. And McFarland finished the half as he started; he extending the lead to 23 points with his four straight points.
By intermission, McFarland's damage was impressive scoring 17 points off seven of nine shooting. Isaac Bushey played hard chipping in 10 points and pulling down seven rebounds by the break.
Just three minutes into the second half, Hilbert held a 57-27 lead and they continued to execute offensively with every player who stepped on the court. The Hawks finished the game shooting .467 field goal percentage but were only 15-25 at the charity stripe. D'Youville lived and died by the long ball, hitting only five of 29 attempts to finish the game shooting 26.4% from floor. Hilbert out-rebounded the Spartans (59-41) and forced 21 turnovers.
First year players were impressive in their minutes played for Hilbert. Ryan Bradt was perfect from the floor (3-3) grabbing three boards in five minutes of play. Owens was an animal on the glass getting credit for 11 rebounds and two blocks while Kumro was two of three (one three pointer) and three for four from the foul line.
Hilbert looks to extend their four-game win streak this weekend when they travel to Franciscan University (0-5, 0-1) December 1 with a 3pm tip.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

We haven been riding a couple of times at the Chaumont Bikepark recently. The Chaumont bike region has definitely a lot to offer. You got one amazing freeride trail and another nice downhill trail. Beneath that, there is still the option to ride some normal trails. The daypass is cheap and everyone is friendly and since it is facing south it gets dry or snowless pretty fast. In my opinion a great place to start the bike season (or just ride the whole season actually).
The Chaumont Bikepark and Downhill is located close to Neuchatel (Neuenburg) at
the lake of Neuchatel. A daily pass (24 hours valid – you might go for a ride on the afternoon and next day in the morning and still could use your daily pass) costs around 10.- for you and 10.- for the bike, but it's even cheaper if you have a Halbtax or GA.
The uphill lift only drives once an hour, sometimes they do switch to half hour drives, tough. They pack up to 20 bikes in one run up, but on busy weekends it can happen that you have to wait for the next uplift. The personel in general is very friendly and helpful and as already told, when it is that busy they might switch to a 30min frequency.
The trail builders and the locals in general are nice, too. It helps a lot if you try to speak a bit french. The level of riding is quite high, but even as a beginner there is tons of stuff to do.
There are two different trails to ride down. The north shore trail with doubles, step ups, step downs, drops, wallrides and everything you could imagine and wish for and a downhill trail. Both are amazing trails and you get enough fun out of it even if you would ride a couple of days straight just in this region. More about the downhill trail in another blog post.
In a series of 4 blog posts we will try to display most of its features. The pictures in that blog post are from the upper third part of the slopestyle ride at Chaumont.
Next to the station are a couple of dirt jumps and a north shore drop, step up / down kombo. The first elements in the forest are another nice step-down step-up kombo and next, if you are ready for it, the bigger one of two road gaps. I think it's at least 6m in altitude and arond 6m in width. I've heard they rode it already, so far with not so much sucess.
A bit further down the trail are some small but nice doubles and a short table, a small drop into an optional wallride. You will find a steep rock plateau to drive over or drop into. A funny northshore drop pushing you in a small north shore kicker with a shifted landing is the last part in the upper third of the amazing chaumont trail.
In my opinion there is no proper alternative around Bern at the season start, when the bigger regions are all closed. Sure you got the Gurten Trail and Biel Trail, which are both nice but always busy and short. Biel is quite nice if you like downhill stuff and Gurten is quite nice for its jumps and airs. You can overroll all of them – so it is quite beginnerfriendly. BUT you got both kinds of trails on Chaumont. You got the Downhill and the Freeride trail, Chaumont is cheaper, south faced (therefore soon dry after the winter season or some rain), has better quality jumps and a longer downhill and for sure less riders than each of the two other trails. I do like Gurten for a short bike ride after work during the week, tough.
Well, enjoy the pictures and there is soon a next article to come about the 2nd part of the slopestyle course at Chaumont Neuchatel.

commented on your video Well..that sucked: "Tito ..." .mangi picking up rookies at the airport " .....dude the way you said that was funny as hell ..."
commented on your video Well..that sucked: "I will respond via webcam later but here is something to think about for a minute. ....... Your right, Belichik is a great coach and of course he had something to do with the 07 season. I didn't mean he didn't. What I was saying is that it isn't always the coach. ..... Sure the Jets went 8-3 and then 1-4 down the stretch. And yes the coach deserves SOME of the blame but firing him? That would mean Jon Gruden should be fired in Tampa Bay too. Would you do that? ..... I still think Mangini IN CLEVELAND is a solid hire. Why go get a new rookie coach that might not pan out? It isn't like this team is close to winning. Mangini is a solid coach that will preach discipline and order to a new that desperately needs it."
commented on your video Well..that sucked: "Rookie coach? Like the Falcons guy? Or Harbaugh? or that weird Pedophile lookin guy in Miami??? you make it sound like Mangini is some kind pf proven veteran head coach....he's not even close....And yes, i do think Tampa has to CONSIDER replacing Gruden, he was terrible down the stretch this year....always remember that the defensive coordinator in New England is just a title."
commented on your video Well..that sucked: "Remember this....Falcons - dominant running game and a very good rookie qb. Ravens - dominant defense. Miami - very good defense and a good game manager at QB. ...... Mangini is fine. He had 3 years as coach of the Jets. Not many coaches win with the Jets at all and he had a winning record 2 out of 3 years. ....... Is he the guy to lead the Browns to the Playoffs....maybe maybe not. I don't think they have the pieces but they will SURELY play better next season with Mangini than they did with Crennel this season."
commented on your video Well..that sucked: "Its Chad Pennington, not Brian Pennington..."
commented on your video Well..that sucked: "No one can save the Browns"


text: My name is Kim and I have been mostly involved with the pregnant again group. It was suggested that I post a message here. I am 17 weeks. I gave birth to my little angel 8/6/04 at 30 weeks due to sudden severe PE. My little girl lived for 6 weeks and did not survive her second bought of NEC. I had a miscarriage on her birthday 8/6/06. I then saw a fertility specialist and here we are pregnant at 17 weeks. My anxiety levels are extremely high at times. I don't have any friends that can relate to my fears that anything could happen. I thought I'd post here and see how active this group is. Do any of you who live in the Phx area meet up for lunch/coffee or anything? I could sure use someone that is close by that I could talk to occasionally.

Pounds: The new cabinetWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo Mayor-elect D. Michael Collins announced the names of his proposed cabinet members Dec. 16. It is a list of familiar names — some too familiar — with a mix of new talent.
The top of his list does not require City Council approval. As a follow-through to his promise to foster mentoring, Collins has paired former Carty Finkbeiner Chief of Staff Robert Reinbolt (returning as chief of staff) with Joel Mazur, from the City of Toledo's Division of Environmental Services, as assistant chief of staff. Reinbolt first worked for the city in 1980. No one questions his experience, but it will be interesting to see how the dynamic with his younger assistant will play out as Toledo faces 2014's challenges.
We are proud to continue to chronicle the rise of Lisa Renee Ward. The former operator of the city's best political blog, Glass City Jungle, worked as an editor with Toledo Free Press before making the leap to One Government Center as a legislative aide to City Council. She has been named an executive assistant to Collins and his public information officer. We have great faith in her insight, contextual knowledge of Toledo politics and sense of fairness.
We're saying an extra prayer for you, Lisa.
We are pleased with two specific appointments.
Matt Sapara of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, will join the administration as director of business and economic development. Sapara was chief operating officer and director of development for the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority and the business community should be supportive of his appointment.
We are also in sync with the appointment of Toledo City Councilman George Sarantou, who served 11 years as the chairman of Council's Finance Committee, as director of finance. We have consistently endorsed and supported Sarantou and have confidence in his stewardship of public funds.
Law Director Adam Loukx, Fire Chief Luis Santiago, Inspection Director Chris Zervos, Health Department Commissioner Dr. David Grossman and Plan Commission Director Tom Lemon will remain in their positions.
We wish Collins and his staff the best of luck as they forge their new team and try to keep Toledo moving. There is demonstrable momentum at stake, and we want to see this new administration build on that.
Other appointees:
- Department of Neighborhoods: Tom Kroma
- Police Department: William Moton
- Department of Public Service: William Franklin
- Department of Public Utilities: Robin Whitney
Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at email@example.com.

Family Connection coordinator, Joy Carr, was the first to speak at the March 18 meeting and suggested that the kick off for the Jones County Public Library Summer Reading program would be a good opportunity to provide outreach to families.
Carr said stations would be set up outside the library with information that focuses on families such as health, nutrition, literacy, as well as fun activities and food.
The coordinator said she recently joined with coordinators from the other 10 counties in Region Six to lobby legislators in Atlanta.
Carr talked about a project with students called Teen Maze. The project is an interactive game for the students to encourage them to make good decisions in life. She said Teen Maze is a life-sized game where students advance through and make choices with a roll of the dice, spin a wheel, or draw a card to find out their decisions in life-changing situations. The students then immediately see the results of those decisions. The pathways are randomly assigned so their experiences will differ as in real life.

This month's County Commissioners' meeting was far from normal as many citizens attended to hear the discussion of the Redistricting of Pushmataha County. Due to the high volume of individuals attending (60 plus citizens) the meeting was moved to the Community room in order to accommodate the large turnout.
Another meeting will be held at the Antlers High School Auditorium on Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Commissioners have arranged this meeting expressly for the purpose of informing the citizens of Pushmataha County about the changes and challenges that the county would face if redistricted and to allowing the public to sign a Petition objecting against the redistricting. All concerned citizens are urged to attend.
During the regularly scheduled meeting, Commissioners went over the impact that this redistricting would have on citizens. For example, If you lived in Antlers you could possibly end up with a Commissioner in Clayton, and if you live in Clayton your Commissioner might be in Antlers. Not only would Commissioners change, so could your polling place. Some voters who live in Antlers might be forced to travel to a location as far away as Finley, if not farther, to vote.
The changes to be made resulted from the 2010 Census, which showed a change in population distribution that is now making the federal government want to redistrict the entire county. District #1 showed to have the most population with the fewest number of roads, District #2 is approximately 200 people short of what is needed and District #3 would need an additional 800 people to fit the criteria mandated by the government. The job the Commissioners face is to adjust the population of districts within a margin of 5%.
Brittinghams says that this makes the new districts completely impractical and most of the money that the County receives in taxes would be going to the fuel and maintenance of equipment after being required to travel longer distances to repair roads and maintain their district. For example, if you are used to getting your road graded once a week, with the stretching of funds and increased travel that will be put on the Commissioners, and their crews, it might be a month or longer before you see your road being graded again. Not to mention longer periods between mowing of ditches and right aways.
According to Brittingham, if forced to change districts as suggested, it would basically cripple the County as far as what each District is budgeted to spend on equipment, man power and supplies. District #1 would take an area of Antlers to the Latimer County line, District #2 could be changed to include Ethel Road and possibly Airport Road and the Hall Community and District #3 could take in the area from Albion into another section of Antlers. The City of Antlers would be split into three districts.
However, citizens aren't the only ones who are going to be affected. There are repercussions for our Commissioners as well. If the County Commissioners fail to redistrict according to population they could be removed from office and then the task would be given to the Pushmataha County Excise Board.
"We (commissioners) are here to do what the citizens of Pushmataha County want us to do," said Michael Brittingham, County Commissioner of District #1. "If you want us to stand up for our County and try to keep it the way it is we will, even if it means we might loose our jobs."
Brittingham noted that his biggest concern about the redistricting of Pushmataha County was that the County dollars would be inadequate to handle both the jobs needing to be done and the extra miles of fuel and hours consumed by traveling from, basically, the bottom of the county to the top. Not to mention the concerns about if we have another bad winter like the last, they might not be able to get to the northern sections of the county, and vica-versa for the other commissioners.
Senator Ellis and Representative Pruett have also expressed that they are standing behind the Commissioners and will go with them to the capital to fight against the redistricting. Senator Ellis plans to attend Thursday's meeting as well.
The main thing that the Commissioners and citizens of Pushmataha County have going for us is that this proposed redistricting contradicts statute 19 O.S. § 321 which says that districts must be as COMPACT and as equal in population AS PRACTICAL. There doesn't seem to be much practicality in mind with the proposed redistricting grids.
If you have concerns about Pushmataha County being redistricted County Commissioners are urging you to attend the meeting at the Antlers High School Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 18, 2011 and sign the Petition. If you have questions about the meeting or have any ideas about how to make a redistricting plan work without wasting County tax dollars, please call Michael Brittingham, County Commissioner of District #1 at 580-298-3113 or 580-271-1606.
