The Elkin Board of Commissioners are reacting to a portion of Governor Pat McCrory's proposed budget that would impact the state's Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF).
Joining approximately 50 additional municipalities who submitted a resolution on the matter, Elkin officials say the integrity and funding of PARTF grants must be maintained.
"If you're doing a big rec project partially funded with a PARTF grant, you're going to be quite scared by the proposed budget," said Elkin Mayor Lestine Hutchens. "It's impossible for Elkin to consider future developments and needs like enlarging the capacity of the recreation center, or repairing the floor in the gym so that children can play safely without PARTF funds."
"The revenue generated by the dedicated funds of the PARTF were put into the general fund of the state. Then in the Governor's budget proposal, an allocation was made back to PARTF. It appears approximately $27.5 million should have come to the fund as established by the statute. However, the proposed budget only allocates $15.5 million," said Michelle Wells, executive director for the NC Recreation & Park Association.
Wells said 722 PARTF grants have been provided to 370 local governments in 99 counties. 84 percent has been for capital improvement and 16 percent for land acquisition. Jobs have been created through the fund particularly in construction projects.
"We understand budget cuts and we have had diversions in the past from the fund," continued Wells. "But what concerns us is taking away the dedicated funding source from the fund completely."
Responding to the matter, the Elkin Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution objecting to any change to the formula of what is dedicated to PARTF. They say the 75 cent collection of a deed tax stamp allows for structured and objective planning and efficient management of the system at the state and local level for today and future generations.
The town's clerk was instructed to send a copy of the resolution to each member of the General Assembly.
PARTF was established in 1994 to fund improvements in the state's park system, to find grants for local governments and to increase the public's access to the state's beaches and coastal waterways.
"We don't judge until we see what we have to work with," said Mayor Hutchens. "But we can't take any chances. Elkin residents expect exceptional service and facilities. … We need the matching funds in order for us to properly plan and grow."
An aide to Governor McCory said that the Governor's first-year budget proposal is belt tightening and accepting cuts are not easy for anyone.

Jazz Baby: 12-year-old virtuoso impresses at Grand PlazaWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
When you see Lauren Smith take the stage, you're not sure what to expect. She looks mature for her age — that age being 12 years old — but still, she looks like what she is: A kid. Light curly hair framing an innocent, somewhat shy countenance, eyes covered by glasses. She looks like the kind of girl who should be gossiping with her friends about One Direction, not standing in front of an audience at a Jazz club.
Then she opens her mouth. And the voice that comes rolling out seems not of this world. Her vocal talents seem possible from someone double, triple her age — not this pre-teen. As Lauren belts songs from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James, you get the sense that you're seeing the birth of something very, very special.
Indeed, every Wednesday night for the past five weeks or so, attendees at the weekly Jazz on the Maumee events at the Best Western Grand Plaza Hotel in downtown Toledo have witnessed something wonderful and wholly unexpected. Since her first performance, Lauren has become a staple at the Aqua Lounge on the lower level of the Grand Plaza, singing every week with the musicians who swing by — simultaneously sticking out like a sore thumb and fitting right in.
"Well, I guess I really enjoyed it," Lauren said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "I guess it just kind of felt like my calling, and I just really like to perform in front of people."
In person, Lauren comes across as shy, self-conscious, kind of quiet. She doesn't really like talking about herself, even in an interview such as this. She doesn't want to seem egocentric. Her attitude toward her vocal gifts is one of matter-of-fact amazement — she can't believe people think so highly of her talent.
"I guess when I sang for talent shows for my school, and a lot of people came to, like, my parents and I and asked, 'Oh, do you go with a vocal coach?' And we just said, 'Oh, no, I just rehearse at home.' And we kind of thought, 'Wow, maybe this is something I could do.'"
"She liked to play dress-up and get in front of the mirror," Craig, Lauren's father, said. "And it seemed like we always, in our free time, we always had music playing in the background. And she just was electric."
Though Lauren began singing when she was three, she really got serious about vocal training in the past few years, taking lessons with the legendary Jean Holden, Toledo's First Lady of Song. Lauren credits Holden with her growing poise onstage — which anyone who has seen her perform over the past few weeks has watched grow.
"I saw her perform at this benefit for the School for the Arts, I just about fell through the floor," said Kay Elliott, executive director of the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society, the group that runs the Wednesday events at the Grand Plaza. "And I went up to her dad and said, 'We should…' And a couple weeks later, here they were, walking through the door."
"I used to be very, very scared onstage," Lauren noted. "Like, I didn't want to do any emotions or smile or anything like that. But now after I've worked with Jean, I've become — like, my voice has become louder, people can hear me, I can project."
She hasn't expanded into musical theater or school plays yet — she's only in the seventh grade — and said she's thought in expanding into that kind of performance on occasion. But really, her heart is performing classics from the immortals of jazz and blues.
"I think I might be the only person who is around my age who really actually knows who they are," Lauren said with a smile. "Most people are, like, talking about newer singers, like pop singers. But I think that it gives me, like, more unique [feel] to a lot of the other new artists."
So, how does Lauren learn the songs she performs at the Aqua? "It depends. Like, I sing some songs that I've heard before, like, with Jean. But a lot of the jazz songs, I haven't heard before, and it can be hard sometimes. Like, as I'm learning them, I try to listen to the artist and then I kind of learn by ear. And then, it takes maybe a few times if it's harder. But if it's not really hard, it pretty much comes naturally."
She's also comfortable tailoring her performance to the situation, as she will on December 18 for the Grand Plaza's Christmas Show. "I'm doing some traditional Christmas songs, like 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' and 'The Christmas Song,' and then maybe incorporating some of the other songs that I already sing, like 'At Last' or 'It's Only a Paper Moon.'"
But don't get the idea that Lauren's performances are straight-up emulations of her heroes — which would still be remarkable to hear coming from a 12-year-old voice box. No, this is jazz, after all — there has to be room to experiment a bit.
"I like to go mainly the traditional way, but maybe at some parts which can be changed a little bit, so maybe I can improvise," she said. "And I try to listen to a bunch of different versions of the song so I know what I can do, what's outside the boundaries."
Over the past month, Lauren's voice and growing stage presence have caught the eye of her fellow musicians and special guests at the Wednesday performances — everyone from local bass virtuoso and the Aqua's self-proclaimed "house band" Clifford Murphy to 92-year-old jazz legend Jon Hendricks.
"She's fantastic! She reminds me of when I was twelve years old and fantastic," Hendricks said.
"It just makes me feel like I've done something right," Lauren said of all the praise being sent her way. "It feels that, it's just great to see people enjoying the effort that you've put into something, and being able to show what you've done."
Her father, Craig, said he gets similar joy as Lauren performs. "I enjoy watching the audience reaction, just for … the joy that she may bring to someone through a performance. If we can enlighten someone's life, even for a moment, to provide some good — I think that's a wonderful gift."
Beyond everything, though, Lauren is still a young woman of 12. She loves to draw and write, does extra-curricular activities, hangs out with friends. That last factor is a big part of what has kept her grounded as her musical career has begun to bloom. "They're usually like, 'Oh, yeah, you have a good voice. Now, let's talk about something else,'" Lauren says of her friends, with a laugh.
Not that her talents are a complete non-factor in her social circles. "She was on a cross-country team this year, and they would travel to meets on the bus," Craig said. "Well, [it's the] technology age, so her friends like to watch her on YouTube. And they all talk about it on the bus. Well, now it's a tradition — when they ride to these meets they ask her, 'Would you please sing?' So she sings a capella on the bus, on the way to these meets."
Lauren's dad acknowledges that his child is still growing into her amazing talent — but he can't help but feel that it's just the first step on a much grander journey for her.
"Her mother and I, we know her capabilities. We know that she's just in the infancy stage. And I do, I definitely see that she's got much more room to grow in the field and much more to learn. And we're thrilled that she's able to spend time and have these experiences with these wonderful musicians."
Lauren herself, meanwhile, is clearly excited for whatever her musical talent may bring her in the future — but she still wants to take time to grow up and be a kid, too.
"It's kind of like a mix of both. I mean, I really think singing is my passion and I'd like to do it in the future, like, as a career. But I also want to keep things going, keep going up on, like, what I'm doing with it."
In the meantime, though, Lauren still will be taking center stage at the Aqua every Wednesday, belting out classics with whatever local music names happen by, impressing scores of audiences and garnering even more compliments that she can blush at.
"I can't even put it into words. It's so surprising to me. I can't — it's like, 'Really?' It just feels so nice, and sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it. But really, I guess I do, but I don't know."

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
In St. Anton it is often difficult to find a chalet that is both close to the lifts yet also close to the resort centre, usually the trade off for lift proximity is distance from town – not the case here! A superb, spacious chalet apartment with a light and airy feel, situated over the top two floors of the building, the chalet is in the heart of the pedestrian zone close to the Sport Hotel. It is absolutely ideal for those who want to be close to the action and detest taking buses or taxis anywhere since everything is on your doorstep and it is just a short walk round the corner to/from the main lifts and slopes.
Bedrooms are all a good size with modern furnishings and decor and all are either ensuite or have private facilities. A lack of separate sitting room has detracted somewhat from this great chalet and whilst impossible to create, the owner is carrying out some improvements this Summer (2014). Plans are to adapt the current dining area with more comfortable and improved built in seating and remove fitted units to create more space. In addition, there will be a snug area with small sofa and tv in the open plan hall.
Room descriptions
Communal entrance hall with stairs up to 2nd floor & chalet apartment.
Second floor:Open plan kitchen/dining room (no lounge/sitting area)Room 1 – triple (Austrian twin & single) with ensuite bath, basin & wc. (supplement of £100 when room used as a twin)
Third Floor: Room 2 – Austrian twin with separate but private bath, basin & wcRoom 3 – Austrian Twin with ensuite shower, basin & wc (ceiling slopes at head end of bed)Room 4 –Twin with ensuite shower, basin & wc.
Tv (local channels) & DVD playerDocking station. Wifi available.
Chalet Staff live in. Separate owner's apartment on floor below chalet.
The Chalet is situated in a small residential block so neighbours must be respected with regards to noise, particularly after 10.30pm!
Please note there is no ski storage in the chalet and the owner will not permit skis or boots inside, however he provides free storage in his ski shop Sport Jennewein at the foot of the slopes.

Once youre in the news business, youre never really out of the news business. Which is why Im still obsessed with the news business.
The first thing I do in the morning is check the headlines. I used to turn on the TV, but years ago chirpy anchors and loud coffee commercials started making my hair stand on end, so now I scan a computer screen.
I browse The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, The Daily Mail, and local TV and newspaper Web sites. Along with the usual politics, traffic accidents, crime, fundraisers and features, you can always find weird news. Always.
A few examples from right here in South Carolina:
A Spartanburg mother called 911 last week after finding out that her 15-year-old son had watched porn on the family TV. The boy was in his room when Mom and his toddler sister got home. When Sis turned on the TV in the den, instead of Peter Pan it was pay-per-view. Mom was, to put it mildly, distraught thus the 911 call.
According to Lt. Kevin Bobo, no arrest was made because no laws were broken. Is it unusual for a mama to call the police on teenagers looking at porn? Yeah, he told Huff-Po.
Bless that mamas heart. I feel bad for her, because it seems she was genuinely shocked. On the other hand, I knew a woman who bought Playboy magazines for her teen grandsons, just to put all the cards on the table. To this day they laugh about it and they love their grandma.
Then theres the guy in Newberry who had not one, not two but FOUR wivessimultaneously. Darnell Pixleys web began to unravel in June, when one of his wives saw a Facebook update about him being on his honeymoon. After what was probably the mother of all double-takes, the wife figured out enough to file a bigamy complaint.
When detectives did a little probing they realized Pixley, 49, had married four women in South Carolina since 1988, thus taking bigamy from crime to hobby. Dude, its cheaper to play horseshoes.
Detectives said theyd found no motive for the multi-marrying man. Maybe he just really, really liked weddings, or wedding gifts. He will presumably face all four wives at his court date on Oct. 24. Which begs the question: After he was released on $2,500 personal-recognizance bond which wife did he go home to?
Finally, weve probably all seen the viral Ice Bucket Challenge, in which folks raise funds for ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) research by having ice water dumped over them as they challenge their friends to take the ice or donate $100 to the cause.
On Aug. 13 a Mount Pleasant mom was filming her daughter taking the Ice Bucket Challenge in her backyard. Suddenly there came a huge splash and right there in Rivertowne subdivision, an alligator crawled out of the Wando Riverwith a soccer ball clenched between its open jaws. (I worry about who had the soccer ball before the gator, and is he or she still around?)
The daughter, showing more presence of mind than I would have, snapped a photo of the grinning gator gripping the soccer ball. The critter soon spit out the ball and wandered off, presumably to find a goalie. It has since been relocated to a lake, where its probably playing water polo as we speak.
Folks, you cant make this stuff up.

Courses: Introduction to Literary Analysis (WRPRH150B03)
Spring 2010
Intended like other sections of the Writing Program to advance students critical reading and analytical writing skills, this course is geared specifically towards introducing students to the discipline that studies the literary traditions of the English language. One of its aims is to explore the broad range of thematic interests inherent in these traditions, sharing as they do common roots in the history of our language and its influences. The powers and limits of language; ideas of character and community, and the relation between person and place; heroic endeavor and the mystery of evil; loss and renovation these are among the themes to be tracked through various strategies of literary representation and interpretation in a variety of genres (epic, narrative, and poetry) and modes (realism, allegory, and romance), and across a range of historical periods. Our goal is to develop the vocabulary, skills, and knowledge necessary to understand not only how we decide what literary texts mean, but also how literary texts generate and contemplate meaning. Courses 2006-07: The Journey of (Self-)Discovery (Hock); "Reality is an Activity of the Most August Imagination" (Zwarg); In the Wake of War: Literary Representations of Violence and Its Aftermath (Tensuan); Encountering the Unknown (Stadler); Gender, Sexuality & the Body (Sherman); Wild Analysis (Stuber). Introduces and carries credit toward the English major

Robin Laing: Producing our stories…
Gaylene Preston has called Robin Laing "an oasis of reason and practicality" in the chaos that is filmmaking. Laing began making feature films at a time when women producers were rare in New Zealand. Since then she has produced an eclectic mix of features, short films and arts documentaries, and often lent a hand to emerging filmmakers. In this ScreenTalk interview, the MBE-awarded producer talks about:
- A movie-mad childhood
- First meeting director Gaylene Preston, who persuaded Laing to try out producing
- Being told to go get a man – and also that women "are not an audience" – while getting debut feature Mr Wrong off the ground
- Distributing Mr Wrong themselves, after sellout festival screenings somehow persuaded distributors and TV networks the film had no audience
- Her interest in history and telling our stories
- Behind-the-scenes stories of covert property-buying for comedy hit Ruby and Rata
- Persuading MP Sonja Davies to let a man write her story on the acclaimed Bread and Roses
- Paying tribute to treasured collaborator Graeme Tetley
- Working with filmmakers Shirley Horrocks (Flip & Two Twisters) and Niki Caro (The Vintner's Luck)
- Her interest in working with emerging filmmakers, including on an anthology series for television
- How women's stories have become more acceptable in the market place

Look out, Black Friday. There's a new shopping holiday on the block, and it's Small Business Saturday.
The National Federation of Independent Businesses, along with local merchants, has dubbed Nov. 24 Small Business Saturday.
The event began in 2010 when American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.
Last year, more than 100 million across the country came out to shop at locally-owned small businesses.
The trade association hopes to make the event as popular a shopping occasion as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If the turnout on Friday was any indication of today's turnout, things are looking up for Small Business Saturday – and for local businesses like 3 Monkeys on Laurens Street, which had 15 to 20 customers in its store around 2 p.m. Friday.
"It has been like this since I opened the door," co-owner Sallye Rich said of the crowded store. "I don't think anybody's at Walmart or Target. I think they're all on Laurens Street."
Rich said the business took part in Small Business Saturday last year and had great success with it.
"We were amazed at how many participated and came in," she said. "We were more busy on Saturday than we were on Friday. People really turned out and supported it. I think they did a great job of getting the word out, and people expect it now."
As part of the event, American Express is offering its cardholders a one-time $25 credit for spending $25 or more in a single transaction at a participating small business. Businesses participating have blue "Shop Small" welcome mats at their front doors.
True Value Hardware & Appliances is one of several small businesses with a blue mat out front.
Owner Det Haislip said last year was a success.
"We've had people in today saying, 'We're gonna call this a Saturday because we want to patronize the small businesses,'" he said. "It's been a good, positive thing. The merchants are all in because everybody down here is a private business person."
Haislip and Rich each said supporting small local businesses is better than supporting the large companies because the money stays in the community.
"We live here, we shop here and more of your money stays in your community when you shop at the locally-owned stores," Rich said, adding that small businesses offer other advantages such as specialized inventory and free gift wrapping, which larger stores often don't have.
"The bottom line is, the profits these private owners accumulate, the money is spent right here in the community," Haislip said. "For instance, we're remodeling the upstairs due to the fact that people patronized us locally, and we're hiring people to do work to upgrade our building and create a better property value and tax basis."
Local businesses putting out "Shop Small" mats on Saturday include Equine Divine, Aiken Office Supply, Unique Giftique, 3 Monkeys, The Curiosity Shop and more.
A customizable map listing qualifying American Express partner businesses can be found online at www.americanexpress.com.
Even Gov. Nikki Haley chimed in to promote shopping at the state's small businesses.
"Your Mom and Pop stores are struggling, will give you great service, and will appreciate you taking the time," she wrote on her Facebook page on Friday. "Buy South Carolina! It does make a different to our state's economy."
The sidewalks of downtown were packed on Friday with people enjoying the Black Friday deals, the beautiful weather and even Christmas music provided by saxophonist and vocalist Highland Brooks, who set up and played in front of Lionel Smith Ltd.
Gail Toole and her sister-in-law Ann Plunkett took a break from shopping on Friday by enjoying a meal at New Moon Cafe – a pile of shopping bags sitting on the ground next to them.
"I love coming here every time we visit," Plunkett, who is from Albany, Ga., said of downtown Aiken. "Nice shops and restaurants. I look forward to coming every time."

i would like to use double hook triggers on my builds,Ithought i seen a thread showing pics of the cuts and the length,width of the but cant find it now thanks if any one can help me.
i would like to use double hook triggers on my builds,Ithought i seen a thread showing pics of the cuts and the length,width of the but cant find it now thanks if any one can help me.
I cut my own.
I use a dremel with a drum diamond bit .
Basically match the size, and length of the cut for a single hook just on the other side.
Pookie has Dr.Strangelove's AK receiver plans with dimensions of the cuts you want to make on his webpage.
Perhaps this would be helpful to your build, and thanks to Pookie for hosting this template.
Just grind down the bottom of one side of the double hook trigger, where it would go through the receiver and you wont have too make the cut.
The other side will have the slot, giving you the full swing for the trigger.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Trim as indicated. Test as you go. It can limit over-travel and make a sweet trigger pull.
+2 on cutting the trigger itself. I have done it both ways and prefer to just cut on the trigger instead of the reciever.
is their much difference in the double hook and the single hook? i never changed the hook on my nornico mak90 so i never tryed one
No real difference at all. Once the rate reducer was added to the AKM design the right hand hook was eliminated to make room. The Chinese and some Yugoslavians never used the reducer so they kept the double hook.
The only advantage IMHO is that if you trim a double vs modding the receiver or limit the depth of the right hand cutout and do it carefully you can limit the trigger overtravel and notice a nice trigger pull that ends as the hammer releases. Not a big deal but nice. Easy to grind and fit the right lower hook. Test fit for proper release point of the hammer.
Another advantage is redundancy, probably why the original design used two hooks. If a single hook trigger snaps the hook, you have a dead rifle until you can get it replaced. A double snaps a hook, you just converted it to a single hook and keep on shootin'. Also, with the forces spread out over two hooks, it is less likely to break in the first place.
Some receivers lack the bump on the right rail that keeps the hammer centered, there have been reports of the hammer walking over enough for the hammer to miss a single hook trigger, a double eliminates this possibility.
Since the US rifles are missing the auto sear and the rate reducer they lack the lateral support on the axis pin that a FA rifle has. Seldom an issue but a shim may be required to fill the void.
Note the original double hook receiver slots are shorter than the original single receiver slot. If the second slot is made as long as the single slot the trigger may over rotate and cause the the hammer to miss the disconnector hook. The original advantage to building with the double hook triggers was that the original Federal and Tapco flats came with right side lower bolt rails that did not have the bulge at the hammer axis pin hole. This sometimes allowed the hammer to walk on its axis pin and slip out from under the single hook trigger. With proper bulged right side lower bolt rails or an RPK or thick receiver build the single hook trigger works fine. In a standard AKM / AK-74 receiver, if the right side lower bolt rail has a bulge around the hammer axis pin the single hook trigger should work fine. Note that the Tapco single hook trigger is based on the short slot double hook trigger design and not the standard long slot single hook trigger design.

EWC men down WNCC 82-73 on TuesdayJanuary 23, 2013
The Eastern Wyoming College men's basketball team outscored Western Nebraska Community College 26-9 over the last eight minutes of the game in picking up a crucial South Sub-Region road victory 82-73 Tuesday night at Cougar Palace.
The Lancers, in posting the win, bounced back from Saturday's 3-point loss to Trinidad State in dramatic fashion.
"We talked about the game and a lot of the kids didn't really know, until they got over here, what the atmosphere is like, and they realize, 'we are in a rivalry game," EWC coach Casey Jones said. "The way we took it on the business end of things is we just dropped a game that we shouldn't have lost against Trinidad State at home, so we said we need to get a game back on the road and get the next one, which was Western Nebraska."
Jones told his team to be ready in the Highway 26 rivalry game and his team rose to the challenge.
"I told them separately that you will be challenged, have fun, and enjoy the heck out of the rivalry because not a lot of schools have this kind of rivalry in junior college. I said enjoy it, but we need the road win."
Jones said that his team had to battle from behind almost the whole game.
"I felt like we played from behind the whole game," he said. "Then we got a little bit of a lead and then we had to fight to stay in the game. I am just super proud because of all the emotion and that we responded by gutting it out and getting the win."
The Lancers, who trailed much of the game, kept fighting hard in securing the win. EWC put four player players in double figures, led by 20 points from Jordan Doss, 18 points from Jarron Jackson-Wilson, 14 points from Ryan Wilson, and 10 points from Slade Spoonhunter.
The Cougars, who were on the brink of capturing their second win, had three players in double figures. Quante Cooley had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Charles Ward finished with 16 points and Sebastian Suarez had 15 points.
A big key in the win for the Lancers was rebounding, where they out-rebounded WNCC 51-39. The other thing that helped the Lancers to the win was a tight defense that forced a number of Cougar turnovers, especially during crucial times down the stretch.
EWC led early 14-13 before WNCC made a run to go up by nine points 25-16 on a Rich Williams 3-pointer. WNCC kept playing well in the first half, leading 31-22 before the Lancers made a comeback on back-to-back 3-pointers by Doss and Spoonhunter to trail 35-34 at halftime.
The second half saw WNCC take a 56-49 lead after Ward got a tip in off a missed free throw. EWC came back to tie the game at 56 on a bucket by Andre Norris at 56-56. The Cougars fought back to con on an 8-0 run that was highlighted by a 3-pointer by Trey Moore for a 64-56 lead.
The Lancers fought back to take their first lead since early in the first half at 68-66 on a 3-pointer by Ryan Wilson with 4:32 to play, WNCC cane back to tie the game at 70-70 on a Suarez 3-pointer, but the Lancers went on a 7-0 run that was highlighted by five points from Jackson-Wilson, including a dunk to seal the win.
WNCC will be back in action Saturday when they travel to Casper College, while the Lancers host Northwest Kansas Technical College on Friday.

Carmen Miller 'wants it all' for Red Cross projectWritten by Sanya Ali | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Carmen Miller has been signed with TMG and she is going at the music world with guns blazing.
"It's been a whirlwind of a year," Miller said.
Not so much of a whirlwind that Miller forgot about one of her favorite summer projects. Miller's song, "I Want it All," is one of the 21 featured on this year's "Red, White & You, Too!" CD, benefiting the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.
"I love the cause," Miller said. "Red Cross has always been doing such great work in the community. I was involved last year and it is always such a fun thing to do. The 'Red, White & You' CD is one of the highlights of the year for me."
RELATED: Summer CD of local music to benefit American Red Cross
Her track for this project stems from her love of '80s music, with a few personal twists.
"This was my ode to '80s hair metal with a touch of 30 Seconds to Mars to boot," Miller said. "This is one of my favorite songs. It's fun, summer music."
The song, Miller said, encourages listeners to experience each moment of life as fully as possible.
"It's actually about not limiting yourself to what people think and being committed to having the best of life that life has to offer," Miller said. "With me, everything that I sing has a bit of a Christian bend so I just wanna make sure it comes across that the Bible says in Christ you can do all things so I want it all."
Besides getting signed, the last year has seen Miller collaborating with two groups, Aaftermath and Vertigo.
"Aaftermath is one of my favorite things to do right now because it's so outside of the box from what people think," Miller said. "A lot of people look at me and they see gospel, as far as when you hear Christian artists and whatever, but I am a big metal girl. I'm a big ol' rock star."
Miller hopes the Red Cross CD sells out this year.
"Everything happens for a reason if you go through adversity or something like that," Miller said. "The last 10 years have been kind of difficult but, you know what? I'm here, I'm standing and I want it all!"

A pretty straight forward stockinette sweater with just enough interest in the gathered cuff details. Which by the way is the only part of the pattern that I felt required some extra thought. There are increases inside of increases inside of short rows. A little tough at first for my mind to wrap around, but it finally clicked. I love when that happens.

Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Chocolate
Hachez Chocolate
Page 2: Wild Cocoa De Amazonas Bars
70% Wild Cocoa De Amazonas Dark Chocolate Bar. At 70% this chocolate is far more along the lines of what a typical chocolate offers by way of cocoa butter. With 17g of fat per serving, its flavor is not nearly as muted as the 77% and 88% classic Hachez bars. It melts with excellent, though not as superb, texture comparable to a Bonnat bar. Flavor-wise, it has some classic notes found in a Venezuelan chocolate, most notably strawberries and blueberries, but the flavor is quite dark and ashy in some ways, perhaps a result of a longer/hotter roast. Also, it is a bit soft in tone, so it has less explosion of intensity that one typically finds at this density of cacao. But it's still a bit more explicit in expression than the company's classic bars, and in our opinion, a positive step forward.
70% Amazonas bar: up close and personal.
Note for those who like flavored chocolate: Hachez makes its 77% bars in Blackberry (with dried blackberry bits), Mango-Chili (with dried mango and chili bits), Orange (with natural orange oil) and Strawberry-Pepper (with dried strawberry bits and green peppercorns).
45% Wild Cocoa De Amazonas Milk Chocolate Bar. Unlike Hachez's superb Maracaibo 55% dark milk chocolate, this bar is far milkier and hence geared towards palates with a penchant for the mild. Passion fruit and banana notes can be found aplenty (inherent in the chocolate), but the milkiness is overriding and exists in interludes with the actual intensity of the cacao beans. The result may seem haphazard to discerning palates who seek harmony, but joyfully complex to the typical American consumer of milk chocolate.
The entire Hachez line is available at one of our favorite chocolate merchants, Chocosphere.com.

I have lots of little bumps (almost like goosebumps or whiteheads) on my penis. Is this a sign that something is wrong?
- Colin*
If you've never had sex, little white bumps on the shaft of the penis may be pimples or ingrown hairs. These are common and they're nothing to worry about. Another condition that's normal and no cause for concern is pearly penile papules. These whitish bumps appear on the glans (head) of the penis or along the edge of the glans in many guys.
If you are having sex or have had sex in the past, bumps on the penis may be signs of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Painful blisters, bumps, or ulcers may be herpes. Genital warts (HPV), can also show up as bumps on the penis. Sometimes these are irregular in shape or hard to see, and they're not painful. Syphilis also can give a guy painless ulcers on his penis. Finally, molluscum contagiosum is an infection that can be spread through sexual contact and give someone small, painless bumps.
STDs may not give a guy painful bumps, but they can still put your health (and your partner's health) at risk if they are not treated quickly. Of course, the skin on the penis — like the skin anywhere else on a person's body — can get irritated. But, since it's often hard to tell normal bumps from those caused by an STD, you should see a doctor if you're having sex.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ArieNess In Love I bought this in a size 0 as my Christmas dress. My measuremetents : Height: 5'2 Waist:24 Hips:32 When I first looked at the dress it looked rather large, but after trying it on, it fits perfectly. I love the retro look and it shows off my petite shape without being too snug. Just a little sacred the scalloped edges will fray with washing. 12.14.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by chordsimple Not crazy about it I thought this looked really cute in the August catalog. In reality it fits like a pillowcase, big but not oversized in a flattering way. I got it in white, and while it was higher quality than I was expecting, it just looks like an old curtain. I'll be returning. Oh- for tall girls, it's also short. I'm 5'9" and it's too short for me. 11.21.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SerenaSong Lovely but had to send back. This dress is lovely. I ordered the blue in a size 6. My measurements are 32-24-34. I'm 5'6". Since we do not have a Free People store in my area (Orlando, FL), I have to take a big risk to order from the website. This dress fit too baggy and the armholes were way too loose. I decided not to exchange it for a 4 because I needed it by a specific deadline. The detail and quality is beautiful and is exactly what I expected from Free People. I highly recommend this dress if you have the option of trying it on before buying. 9.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MacBeth LOVE I bought this dress in the cream/white color and LOVE it. Be aware though, the lining is more of a peach color than what's shown here, so it's not 100% white. It's an adorable dress I've worn once with sandals and no tights for a summer look, but I will definitely be wearing it this fall/winter with tights and boots! Material is great, worth every penny! 8.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by insideMEG a favorite this dress is great for any season, fits true to size. the cap sleeves are a little snug but thats to be expected. 1.14.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by BlbUrk straight shift This is a dress for a very thin person. Even the large size is very small in the hips and shoulders with no give. The picture looks like the dress is A-line but it's not really. I am going to try to alter it because I like the fabric. 1.11.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by whitneyswhit not your average shift dress the dress has a classic "shift" look but w/ unique details. I am 5'9", but the dress was just long enough (size small). the fabric also looks good with both tights and thicker leggings if you're tall and worried about the length. beautiful and at the price definitely worth it. 1.4.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by elbeedee speak easy shift dress Drees arrived today after 17 days, it takes along time to get to Perth. Its a lovely dress just like the photo, and a great price. I will be taking it to Bali with me next week. 1.4.2013

In today's challenging financial markets, you look for insight, opinion and reliable solutions from your investment manager. Northern Trust asset management recognises that every client is unique, so we use a special skill that's the hallmark of our investment approach - listening. We collaborate with our clients to understand their wants, needs, and long term investment goals as well as their limitations, be they by design or by governance.
Overcoming Barriers to Success
Institutional investors often omit or hastily consider an important step in the investment decision process, namely selecting and refining the respective indices to be used. In doing so, investors may be missing an opportunity to truly understand the indices they are using and the potential exposure they are receiving through fully or partially replicated portfolios.
Actively Designed, Passively Managed
At Northern Trust we offer investors the opportunity to actively design their benchmark. This allows investors to work with us to tailor their index to meet their exact requirements based on their objectives, risk tolerance, liabilities, sector or home bias and liquidity needs. Then we create a passively managed portfolio that tracks the customised index. In other words, the "active bets" or exposures are embedded in the custom benchmark, which is then passively managed.
Delivering Answers Beyond the Expected
We invite you to harness the expertise, flexibility and innovation of one of the most trusted, stable and experienced global asset managers, built from the fiduciary heritage of Northern Trust around our principles of service, expertise and integrity.

Ability Details
Backstab is a passive ability that triggers when Shaco attacks or uses an ability on a unit that is facing away from him.
Additional Information:
- Backstab's bonus damage applies to Shaco's autoattacks and abilities, except for Jack In The Box.
- Backstab does not increase the damage from summoner spells or items.
- Backstab also applies after a critical strike is achieved. If you were to critically strike for 500 damage, the same critical strike would do 600 damage from behind (500 * 120% = 600 damage).
Ability Details
Deceive is a ground targeted blink ability.
Additional Information:
- Deceive's damage bonus replaces the normal critical strike modifier, causing it to actually do less than a normal critical until the skill is at least at rank 4. It is affected by critical damage bonuses like
- Deceive will apply bonus critical damage on top of its modifier. For instance, with (+50%) and Rank 5 Deceive, Shaco will deal bonus damage equal to 170% of his attack damage (crit = 100% + 50% bonus from IE +20% bonus from Rank 5 Deceive) . This is before any other bonuses or mitigation are applied. Note that if Shaco were to attack the target from behind it would deal 20% additional damage on top of the critical strike itself making the total damage of the attack equal to 324% of Shaco's total attack damage.
- i.e. Shaco has 150 attack damage:
- Rank 5 Deceive crit from behind with Infinity Edge = [150 + ([1.20 + 0.50] × 150)] × 1.20 = 486 total damage.
- Deceive's casting animation (an orange puff of smoke) can be seen by both teams through the Fog of War.
Ability Details
Jack in the Box is a ground targeted ability that places a pet at the target location.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the flee, but not the attacks.
Additional Information:
- Box attacks apply as a summoned minion effect (20% slow for 1 second).
- Casting Jack In The Box creates a puff of smoke that is visible even through brush and the fog of war, and makes a distinctive sound that can be heard by enemies.
- Boxes are immune to ability damage and displacement effects while in stealth. As such, they can be used to block skill shots.
- Boxes will not be triggered by enemies that Shaco does not have sight of. As boxes grant sight, this is only true against stealthed enemies, or while Shaco is affected by Paranoia and Smokescreen).
- Stealthed boxes will be revealed and disabled by .
- The flee can affect stealthed enemy champions, but it will not reveal them unless the target's stealth state depends on their location or movement (e.g. Teemo's Camouflage or Akali's Twilight Shroud).
Ability Details
Two-Shiv Poison's passive grants an on-hit effect.
When activated, Two-Shiv Poison becomes a targeted ability that applies the on-hit effect.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- will apply a 40% slow for 1.5 seconds.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block Two-Shiv Poison's active.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Ability Details
Hallucinate is a self-targeted ability.
- Leash Radius: 1125
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- will apply a 40% slow for 1 second.
- The clone will apply on hit-effects just a Shaco would.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the clone's explosion.
Additional Information:
- Shaco briefly becomes untargetable when casting Hallucinate.
- With proper timing, Hallucinate can be used to avoid projectiles before they hit him (e.g. Caitlyn's Ace in the Hole or Karthus's Requiem). However, it cannot be used to avoid ticks of Ignite or Zilean's Time Bomb. The duration timer will pause and continue once Shaco is targetable again.
- Upon spawning, Shaco faces the same direction as he did when the ability was cast.
- Hallucinate can be cast during Deceive's stealth without breaking it.
Ability Details
Jack In The Box is a static, autonomous minion that attacks nearby units and structures.
- Is not affected by Counter Strike, Riposte, Aegis Protection and Blind.
- Classified as a minion for targeting purposes.
- Boxes will prioritize the nearest enemy champion that has damaged Shaco or that Shaco has damaged, preferring to attack that champion whenever it is in range, even if they have moved too far away before walking back into range.
- Does not benefit from .
- Boxes can attack 9 times in their lifespan.
Ability Details
Hallucination is a clone of Shaco.
- The clone deals 75% of Shaco's damage, reduced to 37.5% against structures, and receives 50% extra damage.
- The clone can be controlled by Alt + Right-Click (default Hotkeys) or by casting Hallucinate again at no additional cost.
- The clone can be commanded to move or attack (and it will automatically move to follow its attack target).
- While Shaco is unable to activate his abilities, he cannot command his clone.
- The clone gains most of Shaco's bonuses upon spawning, with a few differences:

- Despite this, the clone deals 75% damage (32.5% damage against structures) and takes 50% additional damage.
- The clone can critically strike and apply on-hit effects, but cannot apply life steal.
- The clone will not apply spell effects with its attacks, just its explosion.
- The clone will receive its own Banshee's Veil, Guardian Angel and other item buffs if the original Shaco possesses them.
- The clone will not benefit from on-attack and active item effects, such as Spellblade and Youmuu's Ghostblade's active.
- The clone cannot be the source of aura buffs, but it can still be affected by nearby auras.
- Does not benefit from or .
- The clone will not benefit from monster-related buffs and will thus not display them, even if the original Shaco possesses them.
- The clone displays its real stats.
- The clone faces towards the top of the screen upon spawning.
- Shaco's clone is also capable of picking up Health Relics on Dominion and Howling Abyss.

What's your favorite horror movie and what's the scariest movie scene you ever saw?
I just watched "the Others" last night and it creeped me out all the way. The buildup and the part with the photo album were strangely what made it so terrifying for me.
As for one of the creepiest scenes of the movies I've seen, I was ill-prepared for the suicide scene in "Master and Commander".

Fat burners?
I am at about 15% BF and no matter what I do with my diet and exercise it seems I am always at that percentage. Whether I eat a bunch of crap or run my a** off, I never really gain or lose fat, and I am wondering if I should just try Hydroxycut or something just to cut a little bit. Are fat burning supplements any good or should I not touch them? If they are, does anyone know of any that might be good for what I am trying to do?
What exactly have you tried to do with your diet? What's your height and weight, how many calories are you intaking? What kind of cardio are you doing? Intensity, Frequency, and Duration?
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
-Colossians 3:23

Just get straight up caffiene pills, only a few bucks for 100 of them. Take 30-45 mins pre-workout. If you would respond to any "fat burner" on the market, you will respond to caffiene since its pretty much main ingredient in all of those.
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 182.4 lbs. from 258.6

Goal: 185, Made it!!! Time to pack on some muscle although I am at my personal best in every lift!!
How exactly does caffeine alone make you burn fat?
There used to be a good article on this site regarding caffiene, but I think it was taken down after some of the findings may have been contradicted by another study. I don't know, haha.

The ones I take are only $3.89 for 100. That ought to be in your price range. I built up to taking 2 at a time preworkout (400mg total), but started with only 1 (200mg). So that should be at least a 3 month supply for you.
Most of the caffiene in caffiene pills comes from decaf coffee. That's why it's so cheap.

Caffeine won't do you any good. If anything, too much caffeine is bad for you. Its also counterproductive to your fat loss because it increases cortisol levels. It helps you feel more energetic and less hungry and if you workout with it you will probably lose fat, initially that is. But the problem with that is that it is not the right approach. What ever you lose will come right back on because you didn't take the time to do things correctly and make your diet right and develop good eating habits.
On the other hand if you take a look at the real problem, which is obviously your diet, figure out what is wrong with it and how to fix it, you will feel better and more energetic, the fat will come off easily, and you will be able to keep it off a lot more easily.
Its time to start asking the right questions. How to fix your diet? You don't have to cut a lot of calories or anything like that. You mainly have to switch to better eating habits. To begin with you don't eat breakfast which is bad, your lunch is junk instead of real food, your snack is junk, and I don't know about your dinner. Thats only 2-3 meals per day, 2 of them not even being real meals. You need at least 5 meals per day; you can get away with 2 of them being protein shakes.
Start asking questions in the diet section. How about, how can you make your diet better? People will help. Believe it or not there actually is simple solutions. The 13 weeks diet plan on this website for example is really good, but if counting calories at this time is too complicated there actually is more simple ways you can set things up as a beginners diet. Easy!
I don't see how my diet is COMPLETE garbage. I admitted to not being that careful with it, but it isn't like I eat junk food all day. The stuff I eat is just what is most convenient for me. I don't buy lunch at school because eating that food is like eating dog crap out of my backyard. The stuff I bring for lunch is just an easy quick energy source for during the day. I also did make another thread about what I can eat for breakfast, which you obviously did not see. I figure a bowl of oatmeal and a shake or something would be good, based on the posts made in that thread. My dinners are good and I don't worry about them because I usually have some sort of meat with a vegetable side dish. The only reason I asked about pills is because I know wrestlers who have used hydroxycut to cut weight, and I wanted to hear some other opinions about something like that.
The main problem with my diet is really not enough calories, and I need some healthy snacks that can help boost up my calories. I need to have around 3000 calories and I have been trying to count lately, and am only getting about 2000, which is average but not good for making gains. Any suggestions on how to boost my calorie count with a healthy approach would help a lot more than just telling me my diet sucks.

The Graphic Edge Bowl announces 2012 matchupNovember 14, 2012
AMES, Iowa—On December 2nd the ICCAC will host the Graphic Edge Bowl, where Ellsworth and (18) Louisburg will play for one final game of the season. This will be the first time that Louisburg has played in The Graphic Edge Bowl. Ellsworth has participated in the Graphic Edge Bowl multiple times, with the most recent time being in 2010.
Ellsworth is 6-4 on the season coming into the bowl game. Freshman quarterback, Jordan Doyle, has thrown for 1870 yards for 18 touchdowns and 400 yards rushing, scoring 5 touchdowns. Freshman Trey Gilbert is leading the Panthers in rushing with 720 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Louisburg comes into the bowl game with a record of 6-2, ranked 18th in the NJCAA poll. Freshman quarterback, Madison Mills, has thrown for 1328 yards for 14 touchdowns and rushed for 195 yards. Demarques Martin, sophomore, is the leading receiver for the Hurricanes, catching 30 passes for 614 yards and 3 touchdowns this season.
Ellsworth and Louisburg both have the capability of having a high-scoring offense. Both will have to look to score early and then get defensive stops and turnovers to capitalize on the game. Both teams want to end the season with a victory to cap off the season.
John Sala, head coach for Louisburg, feels strongly towards playing in this bowl game. Sala coached at Ellsworth for seven years before coming to Louisburg. Sala has three Graphic Edge Bowl Game championships under his belt from coaching at Ellsworth.
"It is a great honor to play in the Graphic Edge Bowl. It holds a special place in my heart. Some of my fondest coaching memories are directly related to this bowl game. We knew that if we were lucky enough to be selected to participate in a bowl, we would choose this game over all other postseason invitations. Coming back to Iowa to play in this wonderful facility versus my former school is pretty special. I love the Graphic Edge Bowl and pretty soon the Hurricane players and football staff will understand why."
Josh Gooch, first year head coach for Ellsworth, surpassed the expectations of many followers for the 2012 season. Last week they fell just short to Iowa Western in the Midwest Football Conference championship game. His team is very excited to have another opportunity to play together and finish the season on a high note.
"The Ellsworth Community College football program is honored to be part of The Graphic Edge Bowl Game. Anytime you have a chance to be part of the post season is a reflection on the hard work and dedication that the players and coaches have put into the entire year."
The Graphic Edge Bowl Game will be played at the UNI-dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa on Sunday, December 2, 2012. The game will kickoff at 11am. Following the Ellsworth v. Louisburg game, Iowa Western and Butler will square off for the NJCAA Football Championship.

The Citadel's 14th annual eWeek Fair was held Saturday, Feb. 16, attracting more than 100 Lowcountry school students who put their engineering skills to the test in the Lego robotics competition and the craft stick bridge competition as well as the trebuchet competition.
"Our goal is to spark students' interest in engineering, math and science by showing them that method, design and problem solving can ultimately be fun," said Mark McKinney, professor of electrical engineering and Citadel eWeek organizer. "And it works, too. The enthusiasm was palpable."
In the robotics competitions, students pitted their team-built Lego robots against each other in one-on-one baseball and golf games that required robots to think and make decisions on their own. Student teams competing in the bridge competition constructed bridges from craft sticks and wood glue. The bridges were judged on best structural design, original design and craftsmanship.
The results of this year's competition are:
Robotics Competition Golf Competition
First Place: Cranium – Charleston Math and Science Charter
Second Place: Team Solo – Laing Middle School
Honorable Mention: Domo Arigato – Berkeley High School
Honorable Mention: J.A.J. – Berkeley Middle School
