Lee County native set to become Moore's next sheriff
Lee County native Neil Godfrey is set to take the helm of the Moore County Sheriff's Department after the announcement of the retirement of long-time Sheriff Lane Carter.
Godfrey was selected as the appointed sheriff by the Moore County Board of Commissioners, after a recommendation by the local Republican Party, earlier this month and the appointment is effective May 1.
"I think (Godfrey) will be a wonderful sheriff," Carter said. "He'll do a great job. He can relate to people. He's meticulous in his work and is an excellent supervisor."
Moore County Commissioner Chairman Nick Picerno said Godfrey's selection was an easy one and the transition will be a smooth one.
"Our number one priority is to keep the county safe and keep our citizens safe," Picerno said. "We want them to feel like the law enforcement is always looking after them and doing a good job. As far as keeping the crime rate low, if we have an incident, we want to make sure it is handled quickly and professional. I think that is going to continue under Neil."
Godfrey said he's had a long and positive relationship working with Carter and intended to run for the sheriff office in 2014.
"I certainly appreciate the faith and confidence that the Republican executive committee and Moore County Board of Commissioners have shown by putting me in this position," Godfrey said. "I intend to run for the elected office and hopefully the citizens will decide the job we do is what they want us to do. And that's to make Moore County a safer place for our citizens to live and prosper."
Godfrey grew up in Sanford, played football at Sanford Central High School under Paul Gay, and studied chemistry at Wake Forest before joining the State Bureau of Investigations. When Carter became sheriff in 2002, Godfrey joined the department as chief deputy.
Carter has done an excellent job during his tenure as sheriff and there will not be major changes or overhauls, Godfrey said. He will look at every department to reevaluate its goals and objectives, Godfrey said, and determine if additional resources are needed.
"I think we've been doing a good job, but we would always like to be doing more," he said. "The economy has been in bad shape so there are additional resources we will be working toward, but we have made some accomplishments in that regard."
The sheriff's office acquired a local fingerprint database, allowing the department to solve crimes in a more timely manner. Godfrey said he will continue to rely on the established positive relationship with the local residents.
"If the citizens have any concerns they can call or visit Lane or me," Godfrey said. "If there is something that needs to be addressed, we are going to make every effort to do that. To make the county a safer place to live or prosper, we have to have assistance from our citizens."
The sheriff's office also has a positive working relationship with Lee County and Sanford, Godfrey said. The departments' paths rarely overlap, he said, but they are available to support each other.
Growing up on a Sanford farm, Godfrey said he learned the importance of hard work and dedication. While playing football under Coach Paul Gay, Godfrey said he learned to stay focused on his goals — something that has stuck with him.

Step 1: Layout and Materials
I use 3 pieces of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" by 36" for the bottom pieces and the horizontal top.
2 pieces 1/2" x 1 1/2" by 28" for the Vertical sides and some 2 planks of 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 16". All salvaged from some ikea bed that i found in the street.
The screws (8) are Allen Screws for wood ( the ones that came with bed, the Ikea ones), but some drywalls can do it too.
For the pieces that hold the guitars in place (or separators) I use wine corks and some drywall screws.
Step 2: Top detail
Eventually I will put some foam or some type of cloth to the top piece to avoid scratches in my guitars. The corks are holding pretty well, but i may change them later for something else.
Step 3: Done
I'm thinking in using foam for the top and bottom pieces and eventually painted the hole thing in black or some nice wood stain.
I'd been thinking about making a guitar rack for a while. It seemed sensible to make a free-standing unit rather than a wall hanging one (my guitars would take up a lot of wall space if hung with their backs to the wall, and I'm not sure my landlord would want me drilling holes in the walls!)
Here are some pictures of the rack I made, which was inspired by this design, and some other designs on instructables.
I happened to have the base wood already, so I screwed some wooden planks on the sides to hold the rail (a wooden broom handle). I covered all the surfaces which the guitars touch in foam heating pipe insulation (using pva to stick it to the wood). Then I screwed on some corks to rest the guitar necks against so they don't fall over.
The project's not finished as I ran out of corks. Time to drink some more wine!
It was hard to screw the corks into the circular broom handle straight, so I might have a think about another way to stop the guitars falling over...
:[ Anyways, in case anyone ever wonders, there's nothin' better for rocking with an acoustic than a classical guitar with Folk Singer strings tuned to drop Db. Play RED's 'Breathe Into Me'. See what I mean? Steel just doesn't sound as hardcore.
Great ''ible!! Thanks.

Winter weather made its way into western North Carolina on January 17 and 18, and Yadkin County experienced its first winter storm system of the season.
However, projected snow accumulation was not nearly as bad as predicted.
The inclement weather was scheduled to hit Yadkin County and the Elkin area at approximately 3 p.m. on Jan. 17 and continued through to midnight.
Accuweather.com predicted snow accumulations would be between four to eight inches but only amounted to approximately an inch. Temperatures did make a rapid drop from the mid-40s to below freezing as the night went on making for icy conditions on the road overnight and early the next morning.
In anticipation of the winter weather schools Yadkin County Schools were released at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday and school was cancelled on Jan. 18.
Yadkin County Schools will schedule a makeup day but a date will not be determined until next week.
Road preparations were difficult due to the excessive amount of rain the county experienced last week. Crews with the North Carolina Department of Transportation were not able to pre-treat the roads with a brine solution because the rain would have immediately washed it off.
"When you don't have rain and you know that you are going to have a storm coming through you can pre-treat the roads with a brine solution," said Jerry Higgins, a communications officer for North Carolina Department of Transportation. "When you have rain like we're having now then we can't pre-treat the roads because it will just wash away."
Higgins said that the Yadkin and Elkin areas were fortunate because temperatures were not particularly cold leading up to the winter storm so accumulation didn't start immediately.
Yadkinville Police Department reported that there were no wrecks related to the weather.
Yadkin County may be bracing for more winter weather this week. The Weather Channel is reporting that there is a 90 percent chance of a wintry mix during the day and a 30 percent chance of snow showers in the evening.

Opening a baseball training facility in an area that has developed high school and college baseball all-stars seemed like a natural choice for Pro Performance Baseball Academy owner Tim Gansrow.
The Mount Pleasant resident has open Pro Performance Baseball Academy training facility on Wando Park Boulevard within the popular Velocity Sports Performance Training Center.
Gansrow has already made an impression with the residents in the Mount Pleasant as one of the popular instructors in the area for players of all ages for youth, travel and high school baseball and fastpitch.
As the cornerstone of Pro Performance Baseball Academy, Gansrow was a solid all-around baseball player in college, excelling at hitting and fielding.
Coupled with his passion for the game and being an excellent communicator, he went on to a position as hitting instructor at a college in the northeast.
With a growing family, Gansrow's path led him to become a police officer and first responder. After 20 years of service as a New York Police Department Supervisor and FBI task force lead for terrorism, Gansrow, his wife Tracy and their three children settled in Mount Pleasant.
Gansrow then faced an even greater challenge in cancer. After winning that battle after years of chemotherapy, he had an epiphany to return to his true love: baseball.
With hundreds of young players now attending Pro Performance Baseball Academy in such a short time, the future looks exciting for developing young players into the best they can be.
"We recently added camps for April 3-5 and summer camps held at Mount Pleasant Recreation during the week of July 22 and with Daniel Island Recreation during the week of July 8 to keep up with the demand," Gansrow said in a news release.
Pro Performance Baseball Academy is a leading provider for professional baseball and softball instruction for players of all skills and ages 5 to adult.

Kasich not concerned about ballot appeal attempt of Senate Bill 5Written by Associated Press | | email@example.com
Gov. John Kasich said March 4 that he anticipates the Legislature will pass a tough bill restricting union activity by public workers in Ohio and that he'll sign it into law with little fanfare, out of respect for the raw emotions surrounding the bill. He also said he was not concerned about any future ballot attempt to repeal the bill should it pass into law.
The measure — which still has to go through the GOP-led House — would limit the bargaining rights of roughly 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public employees. They wouldn't be able to negotiate health care benefits or certain other working conditions.
"The day we sign it, it's not going to be some — you know, I don't anticipate some big deal because this is hard for people," Kasich told reporters at a separate bill-signing event. "And anything that's hard, I want to be respectful of other people's feelings, their thoughts and their emotions."
Unlike with similar legislation being debated in Wisconsin, Republicans in Ohio managed to move the bill quickly through the state Senate. The bill was narrowly approved Wednesday on a 17-16 vote.
"Glad it passed," Kasich said, adding that he wasn't surprised.
Wisconsin's measure remains in limbo in the GOP-controlled Legislature after the 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois two weeks ago to deprive the chamber of a quorum. In Ohio, Republicans hold big enough majorities in both chambers to vote on the bill and pass it even if the Democrats walk out.
"It's going to go in the House; it's going to pass there," Kasich said at the event, where guests included House Speaker William Batchelder.
Under the bill, unionized public workers in Ohio could negotiate wages, hours and certain work conditions — but not health care or pension benefits. The measure would do away with automatic pay raises and base future wage increases on merit. It also would ban strikes by public workers and establish penalties for those who do participate in walkouts.
Batchelder is looking to have at least three weeks of hearings on the bill — which would carry the debate into late March. His spokesman Mike Dittoe said the House leader wants it to be a "deliberative and extensive process."
The House is scheduled to hold three days of hearings next week, as representatives start to review the bill.
The measure has been pitched as part of Kasich's remedy for an $8 billion budget gap, though it is not written by the governor. He has said changes to collective bargaining would give power back to state and local government managers to keep costs low.
Kasich said his message to union families is: "What we are doing in this state is designed to make sure that your kids have a future in this state."
He said it wasn't an attack on working families, nor "a political operation."
"I could care less about the politics," he said. "This is what is part of an overall plan to help fix our state."
Kasich on Tuesday in fundraising e-mails urged his supporters to call their elected officials and ask them to back the collective bargaining bill. The Ohio Democratic Party has also sent out fundraising e-mails, urging donations from the bill's opponents.
The legislation has drawn pro-labor protesters and tea party activists to the Statehouse. The crowd on March 1 topped more than 8,500. The measure has prompted a visit by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland has pledged to lead a ballot repeal if the bill passes.
Kasich said he wasn't concerned with a possible ballot repeal.
"The Scripture says there's enough trouble today, don't worry about tomorrow," he said. "I ain't even thinking about some darn referendum in 2000-you know, the end of, whenever, November, whenever it is. Just let me take care of today."

RUSH is my all-time favorite band. No, I am not a middle aged man either. I am a teenager. So while my peers are listening to all this stupid "music" and "ganster-rap" I'm listening to a band that is an inspiration, a driving force.
Any other RUSH fans here? If so, I can rant for hours about them.
Also, do you guys think Stephen might like Rush?

FORT WAYNE — Fort Wayne and Allen County have a new property tax break policy for businesses making new investments.
The City Council and County Council approved the changes Tuesday after about nine months of work by a joint city-county committee to improve the system and make them nearly identical.
The new system uses a more extensive points scheme to create larger rewards for companies that create more and better-paying jobs.
�There just was not an emphasis on job creation,� City Councilman Russ Jehl, R-2nd, said.
�A retained job was worth as much as a new job.�
Under the new policy, higher-paying jobs are worth more points, as are jobs with good benefits. The more points a project scores, the longer it takes for the taxes to be phased in. Previously, there were only seven-year abatements and 10-year abatements; they can now be for as little as three years.
The abatements also have a new name: �Tax abatements� is out, while �tax phase-ins� are in because it better reflects what is happening, officials say. The increased property taxes that would be charged on new equipment or buildings is phased in rather than hitting all at once. The original property taxes continue to be charged.
�There�s a lot of misunderstanding out there with the word �abatement,� � County Councilman Roy Buskirk, R-at large, said. �There is no refund of the current taxes paid on that property; (the phase-in) only affects the assessed value of new investment or equipment.�
The county approved 16 abatements in 2011 and eight in 2012. The city approved 37 in 2012 and three before Tuesday.
The two entities had been competing against one another when trying to attract new businesses and offer incentives, said Nicole Liter, an Allen County economic development specialist. Now the incentives are the same.
Although the policy addresses compliance, the main requirement of filing a statement of compliance form each year to assure the company is keeping up with its promises of new jobs, existing jobs and age and benefit scales will remain the same. In order to promote compliance but protect confidentiality for businesses, an extra step will be added that will allow a follow up on the initially proposed new and existing jobs.
City Councilman John Crawford asked whether there is a way to know whether the tax breaks are actually enabling investments that would otherwise not take place, or simply rewarding those that would happen anyway. Elissa McGauley, abatement specialist for the city, said there is no way to ever know, but the new system is an improvement over the current one.
The City Council approved its annual contracts with the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance and the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership for $250,000 and $125,000, respectively.
City Council members also finished the tax abatement process for Press-Seal Gasket Corp. and Accelerated Tanks and Trailers.
Accelerated Tanks and Trailers plans a $4.2 million investment that will create 277 full-time jobs.

Neither Porter-Gaud nor Augusta Christian has a chance to be the No. 1 seed in the SCISA state AAA playoffs this year, but Thursday night's game was pivotal for both teams as they fight for a first-round home game.
The Cyclones still have work to do during the regular season, but a 38-21 victory over the defending state champions was badly needed. Porter-Gaud improved to 3-5 overall, but more importantly 3-3 in league play, keeping home-field advantage alive.
"It's a big win because it gets us even in SCISA and we pretty much control our own destiny now," said Porter-Gaud coach Rick Reetz. "We have had an up-and-down season so far, but I really feel our best football is ahead of us. We are getting healthy again and our kids are still giving us a great effort. I'm real proud of the way they are hanging in there and playing hard every week."
Sophomore quarterback Steven Duncan passed for 233 yards and two touchdowns, while senior Foster Moe caught seven passes for 96 yards and two scores. Rob Thomas added seven catches for 80 yards.
Augusta Christian's effort was led by senior running back Thomas Banks, who rushed for more than 250 yards and a touchdown.
While the offense struggled early, the Cyclones defense put a score on the board as Hunt scooped up a fumble and returned it 54 yards for the game's first touchdown with 3:02 left in the first quarter.
The teams traded punts and turnovers before Porter-Gaud grabbed a second touchdown, this on a 3-yard pass from Duncan to Moe with 5:24 left in the first half.
Augusta Christian took advantage of a Cyclones fumble at the Porter-Gaud 40-yard line with 25 seconds remaining in the first half.
The Lions moved downfield in three plays and scored when Hunter Beyersdoerfer hit Kobie Brinson on an 18-yard pass to trim the halftime lead to 14-7.
Any momentum gained by the Lions was quickly taken away in the third quarter. Low intercepted a pass early in the quarter and set up his own 25-yard field goal for a 17-7 lead.
After forcing a punt, Porter-Gaud needed seven plays to cover 64 yards with Kris Johnson scoring on a six-yard run with 5:21 to play.
Another big fumble return, this one by Reed Kaplan, set up the Cyclones on the Lions' 2-yard line, and C.J. Pinckney-Stokes took it in for a 31-7 lead with 11:05 left in the game.
Banks went over the 200-yard mark with a 3-yard run, cutting the Porter-Gaud lead to 31-14 with 9:21 to play in the game.
However, Porter-Gaud quickly ended any hopes of a Lions' comeback by taking the next possession 64 yards on nine plays, with Duncan and Moe combining on a 19-yard scoring pass with 6:17 left in the game.
Augusta Christian 0 7 0 14—21
Porter-Gaud 7 7 10 14—38
PG – Jeremy Hunt 54 fumble return (Trey Low kick)
PG – Foster Moe 3 pass from Steven Duncan (Low kick)
AC – Kobie Brinson 18 pass from Hunter Beyersdoerfer (Matt Chiera kick)
PG - Low 25 field goal
PG – Kris Johnson 6 run (Low kick)
PG – C.J. Pinckney-Stokes 2 run (Low kick)
AC – Thomas Banks 3 run (Chiera kick)

CLEMSON Clemson University student Nathan Weaver set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting a glimpse into the dark souls of some humans.
Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers swerved and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed.
Ive heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking, said Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemsons School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences.
To seasoned researchers, the practice wasnt surprising.
The number of box turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes.
Sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant species on this planet by taking a two-ton metal vehicle and squishing a defenseless creature under the tires, said Hal Herzog, a Western Carolina University psychology professor.
They arent thinking, really. It is not something people think about. It just seems fun at the time, Herzog said. It is the dark side of human nature.
Herzog asked a class of about 110 students getting ready to take a final whether they had intentionally run over a turtle, or been in a car with someone who did. Thirty-four students raised their hands, about two-thirds of them male, said Herzog, author of a book about humans relationships with animals, called Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat.
Weaver, who became interested in animals and conservation through the Boy Scouts and TVs Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, wants to figure out the best way to get turtles safely across the road and keep the population from dwindling further.
Among the possible solutions: turtle underpasses or an education campaign aimed at teenagers on why drivers shouldnt mow turtles down.
The first time Weaver went out to collect data on turtles, he chose a spot down the road from a big apartment complex that caters to students. He counted 267 vehicles that passed by, seven of them intentionally hitting his rubber reptile.
He went back out about a week later, choosing a road in a more residential area. He followed the same procedure, putting the fake turtle in the middle of the lane, facing the far side of the road, as if it was early in its journey across. The second of the 50 cars to pass by that day swerved over the center line, its right tires pulverizing the plastic shell.
Wow! That didnt take long, Weaver said.
Other cars during the hour missed the turtle. But right after his observation period was up, before Weaver could retrieve the model, another car moved to the right to hit the animal as he stood less than 20 feet away.
One hit in 50 cars is pretty significant when you consider it might take a turtle 10 minutes to cross the road, Weaver said.
Running over turtles even has a place in Southern lore.
In South Carolina author Pat Conroys semi-autobiographical novel The Great Santini, a fighter-pilot father squishes turtles during a late-night drive when he thinks his wife and kids are asleep. His wife confronts him, saying: It takes a mighty brave man to run over turtles.
The father denies it at first, then claims he hits them because they are a road hazard. Its my only sport when Im traveling, he says. My only hobby.
That hobby has been costly to turtles.
It takes a turtle seven or eight years to become mature enough to reproduce, and in that time, it might make several trips across the road to get from one pond to another, looking for food or a place to lay eggs. A female turtle that lives 50 years might lay over 100 eggs, but just two or three are likely to survive to reproduce, said Weavers professor, Rob Baldwin.
Snakes also get run over deliberately. Baldwin wishes that werent the case, but he understands, considering the widespread fear and loathing of snakes. But why anyone would want to run over turtles is a mystery to the professor.
They seem so helpless and cute, he said. I want to stop and help them. My kids want to stop and help them. My wife will stop and help turtles no matter how much traffic there is on the road. I cant understand the idea why you would swerve to hit something so helpless as a turtle.

Softball Finishes Tournament With A Win
Hawks improve to 6-2

MYRTLE BEACH, SC- With the sun shining and the temperature a comfortable 70 degrees, it was only fitting that the Hilbert softball team ended their eight game spring break trip with another win. The Hawks took on Bay Path College for the second day in a row defeating the competition in a decisive 9-0 victory in 5 innings. The win improves Hilbert's record to 6-2 giving them one of the best starts in program history.
The Hawks carried their offensive momentum from yesterday's comeback rally in the bottom of the 7th inning into today's game for the dominating victory.
Amanda Ratajczak (Cheektowaga, NY/Maryvale) started things off for the Hawks in the bottom of the third when she drilled a ball into left center field giving her a double. Senior Carrie Sisson (Elma, NY/Mt. Mercy) would trade places with Ratajczak on second base as she hit a ball into center field sending Ratajczak across home plate. The Hawks would score two more runs that inning to take a commanding 5-0 lead heading into the top of the 4th.
The bottom of the 4th inning would provide Hilbert's first triple of the season from Sisson and one more run extending the margin to six.
In the bottom of the 5th inning, Hilbert leading 6-0, senior Sarah Collins (Milroy, PA/Indian Valley) and freshman Devan Jonathan (Basom, NY/ Akron) each singled during their at bats. With Collins on second and Jonathan on first, sophomore Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) stepped up to bat and sent the ball over the fence for her second homerun of the season. Three runs would score to end the game in 5 innings, giving Hilbert the 9-0 win.
Baker's homerun marks the first time this season she has homered in back to back games.
Strong pitching from freshman duo Emili Ripley (Batavia, NY/Notre Dame Catholic) and Jonathan along with a solid defensive performance in the field, would shut out Bay Path for the entire game allowing no runs to cross home plate.
The Hawks finish the spring break trip with an impressive 6-2 record over the course of five days.
Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play with begin March 27 when the team travels to Central PA to play at Mount Aloysius College.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Fun design; modern features; great freebies -- it's more boutique than anything else, but also a long walk from the beach
This cute, 81-room chain link offers a lot in the way of style. The funky, modern, key-lime-pie-colored lobby feels more like something you'd find in South Beach than just outside Waikiki's center.
Like Hotel Renew, the Coconut Waikiki (which officially became a member of the Joie De Vivre hotel chain in December 2012) is one of an increasing number of newer, more stylish value hotels that have been seducing guests away from the polyester bed coverlets and busy floral carpets so ubiquitous in Waikiki hotels. All rooms (and the entire hotel) were renovated during the summer of 2008 and feature incredibly comfortable beds and 40- or 42-inch flat-screen TVs.
There are few features -- just a splash-size, kidney-shaped pool and a bright fitness center -- and the beach is a 10- to 15-minute walk away (similar to many budget hotels). To make up for this, the hotel offers some notable perks, such as free, speedy Wi-Fi, free coffee and tea in the lobby, free beach towel rentals, and a gas grill on the patio for guests to use. The hotel no longer offers free breakfast, however.
Given all this, the Coconut Waikiki can be excellent for couples seeking a low-key getaway that's stylishly on par with Hotel Renew -- though the latter has much smaller standard rooms. It's also comparable in room size and amenities to Aqua's Waikiki Pearl (though the latter has no pool, gym, or concierge and noisier rooms).
Personal, though limited, service
It's not hard to find a smile behind the front desk, though the overall services offered are limited and fairly comparable to other budget properties.
A quiet street near Waikiki's northern border; 10-minute walk to the beach
Tucked among other small boutiques, condominium complexes, and older budget properties, the Coconut Waikiki is in the lower-profile northern border section of Waikiki, a good 10-minute walk from the beach and Kalakaua Ave, Hawaii's main drag. Situated alongside the Ala Wai Canal on Lewers Street, the immediate area around the Coconut Waikiki is much quieter and more isolated than hotels on Kuhio Avenue, just a block away. But safety shouldn't be an issue.
Three blocks from the heart of the action on one of the world's most famous beaches
The Coconut Waikiki is an easy, and colorful, 10-minute walk, or three blocks, from Waikiki Beach.
Loosely speaking, the entire 1.5-mile stretch of sand alongside Kalakaua Avenue is known as Waikiki Beach. In reality, it's more like three separate beaches, the borders of which vary depending on whom you ask. The Coconut Waikiki is located three blocks from the section called Queen's Beach, which is the part you see on postcards of Waikiki: manicured, palm tree-dotted lawns leading to a sunny white-sand beach. Children splash about in the shallow water near the shore, while surfers and standup paddle-boarders (the rad new thing to do) patrol the outer waters.
To summarize Queen's Beach in one word: packed. Packed with energy, packed with activity, packed -- most significantly -- with people. Towels carpet the sand like blankets at a sold-out concert. Families with small children, honeymooning couples, even locals taking lunch breaks -- they all merge here, sunning, swimming, and sandcastle-building, all the while doing their best not to kick sand in each other's faces.
Exceptionally clean and modern rooms -- all renovated in 2008
Rooms exude the same easy-spirited modern feel as the lobby, a kind of Ikea-does-Art-Deco look. Standards rooms are fairly spacious, beds are notably more comfortable than at some other budget hotels, and the location on the Ala Wai Canal means they're often quieter. Rooms are comparable in size to those at the Aqua Waikiki Pearl, though the latter's are a bit noisier.
A decent number of amenities for the price -- and they're all brand new
Everything is still sparkling at the Coconut Waikiki, a big step up from most other similarly priced Waikiki hotels. Plus, you get more amenities than usual.
A good, but not great, family choice
For a fairly mellow, budget-minded family with kids who can entertain themselves, the Coconut Waikiki is not a bad choice given the large rooms and inexpensive rates. But the lack of kid-focused activities and the 10-minute hike to the beach are drawbacks.
Impeccably clean
Renovated in 2008, the Coconut Waikiki still looks new.
No restaurant, but plenty of nearby options
Tons of eateries -- from casual to upscale -- are within walking distance.
Renovated in 2008, this quiet, 81-room hotel is priced like a budget chain, but styled like a boutique. Its large rooms, great beds, and funky style rivals Hotel Renew, though the small pool and 10-minute walk to the beach are drawbacks.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012
I shaved today. I mean, completely shaved.
For the first time since 2005 I dont have any facial hair.
Of course theres one in every crowd and I was asked if that included eyebrows too, and while I have shaved off my eyebrows once before and well get to that in a minute this involves facial hair such as a beard or goatee.
Thats seven years of covering up either part, or all, of this ugly mug.
I shaved today because I made a promise. I said if it didnt cool off soon, or if it got too hot and anything in triple digits is too hot in my book my clothes were coming off. But I have this aversion to public incarceration, and much to the chagrin of several friends, I will not be running naked down the middle of Main Street.
So I shed the organic clothing instead.
The public can only take so much of me uncovered so Im doing this in small doses. Like my chin and upper lip first, for example, and if I dont send you running and screaming like Godzilla showed up for lunch, then well work on beach attire next. Beach attire means shorts and no shirt.
So, why did I shave? It wasnt entirely by choice.
My entire life is defined by necessity, my having to do something because of the consequences of my previous actions, like when I shaved off my eyebrows. I had a beard trimmer and was using it inappropriately, trying to stretch the time between haircuts by trimming my bangs. My hair in front had gotten a little long and now dipped to the tip of my nose. I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror and trying to decide at what length to trim these bangs.
I decided that the Neanderthalic ridge that is my brow would make an excellent guide and a nice stopping point. So I set about bouncing the beard trimmer sans hair guard across my extreme lower forehead.
I was halfway done trimming my bangs when I checked my progress in the mirror and was surprised to see a somewhat startled expression looking back at me.
I looked like Spock.
Captain this endeavor is not logical.
I know Spock, but what does your human half tell you?
My human side tells me you just shaved off your eyebrow.
And while I wore a perpetual look of surprise, there is nothing more difficult than purposely shaving off your second eyebrow after accidentally shaving off your first eyebrow. Its like coming when your daddy says, Cmere, and he just cut himself off a good sized whipping switch.
Youd think Id have learned something from the experience.
Sadly, I had not.
This time, while trimming my beard this morning with the proper hair guard attached Im going for the closely trimmed look I suddenly had to sneeze.
An important rule to consider: When sneezing, it is critical to pull the beard trimmer away from your face. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT try to finish trimming that extra little bit before acknowledging the inevitable arrival of the sneeze. You will shave off half your mustache if you do.
You should see what happens when I run with scissors.
So Ill go with the clean look for a while. Theres less chance of accidents happening that way.
Shaving a face thats part of my basketball sized head, thats like mowing the front yard.

- Is anyone getting corrupt or empty gems from rubygems?
Yes. It's not clear what causes it, but it's been seen. The best work around is to have bundler cache the gems in the project.
Interesting Things
- You can define a method in ruby called return. You can send :return to an object with return defined as a function, and it will call the method. You can't call the method normally. None of this is a good idea.
- RVM can use most any version of rubygems you might need. just
rvm rubygems 1.5.2to get 1.5.2, for instance. Some gems are incompatible with new versions of rubygems, so this can come in handy.

Spawn.com Offers In-Depth Look at New McFarlane Action Figures
Friday, February 14, 2003
It's the final countdown (cue really bad '80s hair metal here) ... to ToyFest Winter 2003. Final approvals are rolling in - or, in some cases, not rolling in. Pages are being coded, copy is being written, art is being shot and sized.
In other words, the McFarlane central offices in Arizona and New Jersey are abuzz with frantic last-minute activity. Think workers filling and stacking sandbags in anticipation of a coming flood and you'll be in the ballpark.
Our first of four ToyFest 2003 online extravaganzas goes live on spawn.com Monday, Feb. 17 at 9 a.m. EST (that's 6 a.m. for you West Coast denizens, everyone else can do the math).
Can you tell we're excited?
For ToyFest Winter 2003, we will announce all the confirmed upcoming lines for 2003. However, unlike years past, we will only show photography and QuickTime movies of pieces that are finished. This signals a fundamental shift in the way McFarlane Toys operates. Previously, items we showed at this time of year didn't always represent the final work. Some pieces underwent massive change between Toy Fair showing and when they were actually released. In this new format, fans and buyers will be shown product in a more final form. Though there won't be as much initial content at ToyFest, it will be repeated several times throughout the year, providing consistent content for spawn.com users.
What can you look forward to on Monday? Spawn 23, Monsters 2, Soul Calibur 2, many upcoming sports lines and specials (including the lineups of NFL Series 6 and the first NASCAR line), and much more (yes, including some top-notch film-related properties we've scored for the upcoming year).
In addition to the online catalog, there will be a fun virtual reality online showroom tour and an online polling station where you can vote for your favorites. As always, you're invited to discuss ToyFest 2003 on our spawn.com message boards.
See you on Monday and, uh, try not to hold your breath; we want you still living come Feb. 17.

Edward Ralph Bard, 91, of Ashe County was among the Marines of the 6th Division charged with the unenviable task of rooting out the last pockets of Japanese resistance near the end of the Battle of Okinawa.
Bard was a sharpshooter in the 22nd infantry battalion. "I belonged to a combat unit. They didn't want nobody but somebody that would fight."
During an engagement on May 20, 1945, Bard's sergeant sustained wounds to his feet, and was trapped in a shell crater under fire, he said. As he reached down to help his squad leader out of the hole, a mortar shell exploded nearby, injuring Bard and causing permanent hearing damage.
He was 22.
At the time, officers of Bard's unit tried to put in for his Purple Heart in the field, he said, "and they were advised we were out of them."
Nearly 39,000 American soldiers were wounded during 82 days of fighting on Okinawa. There weren't enough medals to go around.
Bard was told he would have to wait until he got back to the states to be decorated, he said.
Like many young men of the time, Bard was drafted into the service. He was picked for the Marine Corps and combat duty during the selection process because he was near the front of a line when a recruiter came in "looking for a few good men," he said.
"Bard is not a good name to have when they're going to take it alphabetically," he said.
He left the Marine Corps after the war and "went straight home" to Ashe County. "I didn't like getting shot at," he said.
Bard worked in purchasing for General Electric in Winston, Douglas Aircraft in Charlotte, and Sandvik in New Jersey before retiring. He and his wife of 71 years, Opal, live near Ashe Lake, and have three children, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
He never forget about claiming the medal he never received, but it didn't keep him awake at night. "You get used to sleeping with both eyes shut," he said.
Bard's daughter, Evelyn Reeves, said he hadn't talked much about the war until recent years, and the subject of the medal came to the fore. She decided to see to the unfinished business, and contacted U.S. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, who made the necessary inquiries with Marine headquarters at Quantico, Va., in December.
This morning — almost 68 years after sustaining wounds at Okinawa — a detail of Marines from Greensboro presented Pfc. Edward R. Bard with his Purple Heart in his living room.
"Well, I'd like to say I enjoyed it," he said of his combat experience, "but I didn't."

Plan Ahead
Insurance, investments, and long-term planning are solid strategies Canadian families use to ensure the best future for their loved ones. While it's impossible to predict what lies ahead, families can always take prudent measures to minimize risk, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with well-advised planning.
Most Canadians are familiar with insurance coverage and financial planning strategies, but few are versed in the issues surrounding the loss of a loved one – it's just not something we generally talk about.
We understand this, so we've created a valuable tool used by thousands of Canadian families. Our Family Registry Estate Planner ™ explains and organizes everything you'll need to know. It's free, it carries no obligation, and it's written in plain language.
Of course a conversation with your Pre-Arrangement Specialist is the best way to begin your understanding of the relevant issues and the benefits of pre-planning. Our Specialist can provide you with the details of our exclusive Family Security Benefit Plan™, a proven plan we've developed to ensure Canadians can take advantage of the best protection, the real savings, and the peace of mind they deserve.

Just wondering. Thanks!
Just wondering. Thanks!
I'd say between $300.00 & $400.00. A few months ago....$500.00 all day long

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
If it has an original barrel, basically what Bradrock said, depending on condition I'd say $350-500.

The voting is complete and the results are in for the 2014 Charleston Weddings Magazine Spring Bridal Show Emerging Bridal Designer winner. The seventh-annual show, part of Baker Motor Companys Charleston Fashion Week (CFW) and presented by Gathering Floral + Event Design, is thrilled to introduce the next up-and-coming bridal designer is Kendra Barnes.
The Bridal Fashion Panel charged with selecting this years 2014 Spring Bridal Show Emerging Bridal Designer winner included Colin Cowie, celebrity event planner, entertaining expert, and author; Romona Keveza, bridal and red carpet gown designer to the stars; Callie Tein designer-owner of Modern Trousseau; Mark Ingram, owner of Mark Ingram Atelier and Featured Style Icon for the 2014 Charleston Weddings Magazine Spring Bridal Show; and Anne Chertoff, wedding expert and digital consultant for groups from Martha Stewart Weddings to Huffington Post Weddings, Vera Wang, and more.

A resident of Dayton, Ohio, Barnes graduated in 2012 with a Bachelors in Fine Art, Fashion Design, from Savannah College of Arts and Design.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Georgetown County Council is considering issuing $40 million in revenue bonds so The SEFA Group can upgrade its high-carbon fly ash recycling facility near the Santee Cooper generating station at Georgetown.
It is unclear whether the money would go toward a new facility or renovations of the existing facility on Steam Plant Drive.
Georgetown County Administrator Sel Hemingway declined to comment on the project.
The bonds would be issued by the South Carolina Jobs-Economic Development Authority, and it would be the responsibility of SEFA to repay them.
According to SEFA, fly ash is used to make longer-lasting concrete. Using fly ash in concrete means less cement is needed. The process of creating concrete releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, so less cement means fewer harmful emissions.
SEFA opened its Georgetown plant in 2002. Last April, the company laid off seven workers at the plant and cut back from operating 24 hours a day to only daytime.
Tom Hendrix, SEFA president, said at the time that the Georgetown facility was the only one where layoffs were occurring.
"It's simply we had to reduce staff because of the lack of supply of fly ash. Electric plants have started using more natural gas and are not using as much coal as they used to," Hendrix said.
County Council will hold a public hearing on the bonds at its Dec. 10 meeting.
In other business:
Georgetown County Council received only one recommendation for spending fall A-tax funds at its November meeting on Tuesday night.
The county has $103,017 on hand and the Accommodations Tax Committee recommended giving $103,000 to the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce's Tourism Management Committee for tourism marketing.
• Council agreed to pay Motorola Solutions $741,857 to upgrade the county's Fire/EMS and Emergency Management radio system.
The current system is 10 years old. The state is also upgrading its radio system, and the county has to upgrade to keep up.
The funding comes from the county's Capital Improvement Plan budget.
The county will also spend $161,328 to buy six 2014 Chevy Tahoes from Love Chevrolet in Columbia for the Sheriff's Office.
The money comes from the county's Capital Equipment Replacement Program.
• American Property Experts of Wilmington, N.C., was hired to eliminate yard waste at the Solid Waste Landfill.
The county had to find another company after A-1 Sandrock, Inc. of Greensboro, N.C., terminated its contract.
American Property Experts' bid of $7.70 per ton with a $1,500 mobilization fee up to $59,000 annually was the lowest of six bids.
n Council gave final approval to the following ordinances: an ordinance to allow Murrells Inlet 2020 to attach bronze plaques to the Marsh Walk, Jetty View Walk and Morse Park Crab Dock; and rezoning .54 acres at Lachicotte Drive and U.S. Highway 17 in Pawleys Island from "general residential" to "general commercial" and removing it from the Hammock Shops Planned Development.

No. 19 Texas A&M 61, No. 17 S. Carolina 52
By GEORGE HENRY
Associated Press
DULUTH, Ga. — Coach Gary Blair knew Texas A&M wouldn't have an easy time matching up with South Carolina's physical style of play.
"I thought the key in the ballgame is that we were able to withstand," Blair said. "We went into halftime up by 3 and we were barely surviving."
Kristi Bellock scored 17 points, Karla Gilbert added 11 in a reserve role and No. 19 Texas A&M beat No. 17 South Carolina 61-52 in the Southeastern Conference tournament quarterfinals Friday.
The Aggies (22-9) snapped a three-game losing streak and will play No. 9 Tennessee in the semifinals Saturday.
Ashley Bruner finished with 19 points and Ieasia Walker added 15 for South Carolina (24-7).
Gilbert emerged at a critical time for Texas A&M, which survived a scare early in the second half when All-SEC center and Gamecock transfer Kelsey Bone fell to the floor with a leg injury.
Bone later returned wearing a right knee brace after missing about 6 minutes, but the outlook was hardly encouraging after she limped off the floor, and South Carolina soon took its first lead on Bruner's layup.
Fortunately for the Aggies, Gilbert effectively used her 6-foot-5 frame to block out the Gamecocks' front line for rebounds and put-backs. In a season-high 21 minutes, Gilbert hit all three field-goal attempts and went 5 for 7 on free throws.
Her presence helped Texas A&M go on an 11-1 run before Bone returned and made it 48-40 with a put-back at the 8:24 mark.
Less than 2 minutes later, Bone's free throw gave the Aggies an 11-point lead.
"The bench is very important," Gilbert said. "Obviously, we do not have a lot of 40-minute players, so it's very important for the people to come off the bench and be ready. If we bank on that and keep doing what we're doing, we'll keep doing what we're doing."
The Gamecocks, who failed to make the SEC semifinals for a second straight year, were coming off a dominant win over Alabama, but they missed too many shots inside to gain momentum in the first half.
It was a familiar pattern for a team that ranked next-to-last in SEC scoring this season despite having the nation's sixth-best scoring defense.
"It just came down to us making layups," South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. "You count how many layups we missed and then we missed 10 free throws. I don't know if we would have won, but it would have made it more interesting."
South Carolina's biggest deficit was 12 on Bellock's free throw with 6:26 left. The Gamecocks were essentially finished after Courtney Walker's steal led to a layup by Bellock that pushed the lead to nine with 1:34 remaining.
Pratcher scored eight points, but she was just 3 for 14 from the field. Bone and Walker each added seven points.
Courtney Williams pulled down 11 rebounds for the Aggies, who are playing in their first SEC tournament. Bruner had 11 boards for South Carolina.
Bellock is excited that Texas A&M gets another shot at Tennessee. The Aggies lost 82-72 in Knoxville last week.
"The first time around it wasn't really a good game for us," Bellock said. "We just need to come out with more energy and do what we do and not let them dictate what we do."

"Blog" is short for "Web log" an online site with time-dated postings, maintained by one or more posters, that features links and commentary. But that is like saying a car is a means of transportation featuring four wheels. Millions are changing their habits when it comes to information acquisition, and the blogosphere has appeared so suddenly as to surprise even the most sophisticated of analysts.
In Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World (2005), currently number three on the New York Times non-fiction list, author Hugh Hewitt details the rise of blogging and the veritable information revolution in some ways comparable to the invention of the printing press. Examining a number of recent national issues from "Rathergate" to John Kerry's difficulties with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth- Hewitt shows how the blogosphere has influenced, and shaped, public debate. Hewitt helps us both to understand, and to take advantage of, this revolution.
Hugh Hewitt is the host of a nationally syndicated radio show heard in more than 70 cities nationwide, and a professor of law at Chapman University Law School, where he teaches Constitutional Law. Besides Blog, he is the best-selling author of If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It (2004), as well as four other books. Hewitt received 3 Emmys during his decade of work as co-host of the PBS Los Angeles affiliate KCET's public affairs show Life & Times. He is a weekly columnist for The Daily Standard, the online edition of The Weekly Standard, and writes for World Magazine. Hugh Hewitt's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College.

Daily Tip: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 5
New to these giant software releases and wondering how to upgrade your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 5? Luckily iTunes makes the process of upgrading painless. The best part is once you're on iOS 5 you can start to receive OTA updates and you'll never have to fuss with cables and computers again.
For now though, where you're ready to update to iOS 5, here's what you need to do:
- Plug your current iPhone into your computer and open iTunes. Your phone should start to sync and backup automagically.
- If it doesn't start to sync automatically, click the Sync button in order to back up your device. (You can alternately right click your device name in the navigation bar and click back up as well. Either way will work just fine.)
- iTunes may prompt you that an update is available. If it does just click update after you've backed up your device (iTunes will also prompt you to back up if you haven't already.)
- If it doesn't, click Check for Update under the Version section.
- The new software will start to download and then install. Your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad will restart. Don't worry about it. Let iTunes do it's thing and update your device to iOS 5.
- Once it's done updating, iTunes should prompt you to do one of two things - set up as a new device or restore from a backup. Choose to restore from a backup and select the backup you just made.
- Once the restore is done your device will reboot. When iTunes detects it again it will start to sync back any apps and games your old iPhone had installed.
After you've done the initial manual update to iOS 5 you'll have the option to use iCloud backups in the future. Do it. It's free and it just works.

Can anyone tell me how to restore ny applications back after upgrading to ios5??
Quick Question...
I'm selling my 3GS which was running 4.3.5 and getting the 4S on Friday.
I've done a backup and restore and setup as new on my 3GS and am sending it in the post tomorrow.
Question is-when i plug my new 4S into my iTunes-will i try to restore from my 4.3.5 software or rather import all my settings into ios 5?
It was a royal pain to upgrade. I had to update iTunes first on my windows XP PC. Then it wouldn't sync with my iPhone without any upgrade.
Then I rebooted. OK now it will back up but it won't upgrade. Finally I reboot a second time. Now it will upgrade my iPad (original) but my iPhone fails to upgrade.
One more reboot and I can upgrade my iPhone.
What a pain!
I am new to the Jail Break thing and was wondering if theres an article outlining a break down of pros/cons for jail breaking verses not jail breaking or if someone would be so kind as to send me a detailed email explaining this to me I would greatly be Thankful. I also have some other questions if someone would be so willing to take the time. I am a recently disablked USMC Vet home from the war and purchased 3 months ago all IPhone4 for my family as a treat. Thank you I can be reached directly at email@example.com or IM on yahoo MEcentricus Thank you so much for your help.
it says its taking 6 hours to download the software update, not sync it but download it.. is that right? or supposed to be like that..?
Doesn't work for me. iPhone tries to do a "backup" that never completes from my PC version of iTunes when attempting the iOS 5.0 update and it therefore never makes it to the new version 5.0 update itself. This is even the case after I manually force it to do a backup, which seems to complete quickly when its the only thing running. But when invoked during the update function, it hangs up and my CPU max'es out, even though its a new AMD Athlon II processor (less than a year old). Not sure what's up with this... Everything else seems to work fine and the diagnostics says everything is okay.
Will I lose all the progress in the games that are synced back (like if I am on level 23 of a game, will i have to start over from level 1?)
And if there were ever a reason to not give up your "unlimited" data plan....

Rihanna Takes Her Thug Life To The Gun Range
It seems as though Rihanna lives every day making sure she's all the way about that life.
The woman behind such lyrics as "Imma fight a man tonight," "Mama,I just shot a man down" and "I lick the gun when I'm done cause revenge is sweet" took a trip to a gun range this weekend in Vegas to fire off some weapons. And these weren't just some small rinky-dink pistols she was dealing with either, she decided to try her luck with a few assault rifles that was half her size.
According to staff at the Guns and Ammo Garage, she shot off a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) machine gun and the M4 and AR-15 rifles, and judging from the photo below she just might know what she's doing. Just call her Machine Gun Fenty from now on.
Watch video footage from the gun range below.

Reservations: 518.668.3000
Welcome to our list of favorite dining destinations in New York's Hudson Valley and Adirondack regions. We visit restaurants, wineries, barbecues, and a smattering of off the beaten path culinary destinations like maple sugar shacks and fromageries. My friends and I have been dining out together weekly for over twenty years. The locations we write about are our favorite destinations. We are not claiming they are the best, just our favorites. The posts are not "reviews" in the classic sense. - we offer only our picks, not pans. We will leave the criticism to others. We are a happy blog. We much prefer a good bistro to "haute cuisine", especially if they also have a nice bar. We prefer a crock of cassoulet and a bottle of Beaujolais to just about anything else. If you enjoy simple home style rustic cooking with a decent (but not too expensive) bottle of wine, then pull up a chair and join us.
