HILTON HEAD ISLAND — In their last joust before today's GOP runoff election, Curtis Bostic and Mark Sanford exchanged barbs as well as compliments in a joint appearance Monday.
The Republican 1st Congressional District hopefuls spent 90 minutes making their case at a luncheon meeting of about 100 likely voters.
Bostic, a former Charleston County councilman, quoted from Sanford's 13-year-old book, "The Trust Committed to Me," about the value of sending amateurs, not career politicians, to Washington, D.C. Bostic noted he is the fresher face in the race.
But Sanford's deep roots in the Beaufort area were clear. State Sen. Tom Davis, who served as chief of staff when Sanford was governor, was front and center in the audience. Sanford's family has had a farm for decades in northern Beaufort County.
Bostic, who is a lawyer, was asked pointed questions about his stance on tort reform and why he has not filed his financial disclosure form outlining his economic interests.
Bostic said that form should be filed within a few days, and he said the tort reform that South Carolina passed under Sanford was not perfect because it protected only 22 different professional classes.
Sanford agreed with Bostic's critique but also said politics is "the art of the possible," adding, "I would grant Curtis' point that it wasn't a perfect bill, but I would say it was a whole lot better than doing nothing."
Go to postandcourier.com/first-district for additional coverage.
Bostic praised Sanford for the way he has campaigned like "a Southern gentleman," and Bostic said he agreed with many of Sanford's previous votes. Sanford also agreed with Bostic's answers at several points.
Beaufort County is at the southern tip of the 1st District and the only county that didn't give Sanford the most votes during the original March 19 primary.
State Rep. Andy Patrick, R-Hilton Head Island, won the county in that election two weeks ago, and he attended Monday's forum. He has not endorsed either candidate in the runoff.

Master Eric Jones is a Tae Kwon Do instructor in Kingstree. Jones Tae Kwon Do students competed in the South East US Tae Kwon Do Championship in Asheville, North Carolina on April 5. In addition to medals, the team won multiple trophies and gained much confidence for the newly formed group.
Master Jones graduated from Kingstree Senior High in 1995 and began training while stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas with the Air Force. His training in the Air Force gave him a passion for the Tae Kwon Do and the Martial Arts. He has trained in Kempo Karate, ninjutsu, boxing, and specializes in WTF (World Tae Kwon Do Federation). Jones accredits most of his tae kwon do training to studies in Japan and Hawaii.
He competed in the Hawaii Open Tournament in 2006 where he won gold for breaking and sparring. Following Hawaii, Jones continued his training in Korea. That was a real eye opener: to be trained in the birthplace of Tae Kwon Do, said Jones. It was like starting over as a white belt, but I did attain my forth degree black.
Master Jones class consists of eight students ranging from ages five to 34.
Everyone has been here since day one, said Jones of his team. I have seen a difference in children who take my class. I wanted more for the kids here. I am able to tailor a program to the needs of the community. Jones Tae Kwon Do accepts all children, including children with special needs. He has a child with autism in his group and he performed a kicking and breaking demonstration at the Behind the Lens/ Autism Awareness Easter Egg Hunt.
Jones philosophy is I wanted to have something else positive besides basketball, football, softball- not that there is anything wrong with those, but it is all that we saw in this area, said Jones. You can only play basketball for so long, but martial arts can be done til the day you leave this world. Classes offered three days a week at the Williamsburg County Recreation Center on Thurgood Marshall Highway.
Anyone interested should contact Master Jones at (843) 356-9606.

A four-year-old boy was found with a gunshot wound to the head shortly after 4:30 p.m. on May 12 in Summerville.
His grandmother, 75, reported that she had arrived at 811 W. Richardson Ave. with the boy shortly before the incident occurred, according to a Summerville Police Department incident report.
The woman said she was bringing groceries into the house when she heard a loud bang outside.
When she went outside she saw the boy lying on the ground bleeding with a gun next to him, according to the report. She took him inside, which is where an officer found him upon arrival.
The boy appears to have found the gun in the house. Investigators have not determined if criminal charges will be filed, according to reports.
The grandmother said she did not know where the gun came from, according to reports.
Dorchester County EMS, the Summerville Fire Department and Dorchester County Sheriffs Office also responded. The responding officer reported that the Taurus .25 handgun was lying on the dining room table when they arrived.
The boy was transported to the Medical University of South Carolina via helicopter in critical condition, where he remained through Wednesday.

Tynes is a reliable kicker with the game on the line. Nobody can kick 56 yards against the wind in the rain.
the only consistent part of the Giant this year was the kicking/punting game.
With the "real" issues the team has do we need to harp on Tynes????
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Tynes is consistent....inside 40 yards. Whoopee.
It's a moot point, really......the Giants will keep Tynes, and we'll keep punting from the opponent's 35 because Tynes can't kick a long field goal.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

"He's got big balls. I like that." -Josh Koschek on Frank Trigg's balls.
Also, how much shit would hit the fan if GSP came out to his next fight with a tattoo that said "White Pride" on his chest? Gotta love all the double standards in racism.
"He's got big balls. I like that." -Josh Koschek on Frank Trigg's balls.
I must feel as I belong so that I feel complete.
More importantly, the point is very good: Color does not equate race. Black is not the same thing as African American and Hispanics recognize that many of their people are not brown. The point is that your list emphasizes surface-level appearance and misses many of the facets of experience and cultural belonging that you claim to care about. I think that says a lot more about you than about minorities writ large.
gentlemen, perceived reality is reality.
rational, logical thought isn't going to work here.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
If someone however accused me of ONLY looking at skin color I would probably laugh in their face then point out Jon Jones and Evans (2 fighters that I actively hate on). I would then also point out the Diaz brothers and Lesnar (3 fighters I have actively supported). I support plenty of fighters outside my race (ie Brandon Vera, Thiago Silva, Lyoto Machida, Robbie Lawler, Jacare Souza... the list goes on).
I have already shared the values that matter most to me in a fighter:
- Relation -- If I share nothing in common with the fighter I probably won't support them. Some only view this as skin color.
- Upbringing -- I love supporting fighters that came from poverty
- Personality -- I like intelligent fighters with charisma that can do their talking in the ring
- In Ring Performance -- To me style and grace matters. I love a fighter that can entertain an audience while exhibiting beautiful destruction. IMHO not a lot of fighters have style but when you see it its a beautiful thing to witness. They typically have an aura around them that leaves people on the edge of their seats.
I remember about 2 years ago Riv was accused of being a racist. He replied back by saying, "I have black friends..."
Well shit I have white friends am I a racist?
An even bigger question.. ,"Does having pride in your race while respecting others still make you a racist?" That would make me wonder why Cain trains with DC.

As your racist statements have time and time again proven, Yes, you are in fact, a racist.

The following information is specific to the Welsh context, legal powers, advice services and policy development.
In Wales responsibility for education is devolved to the Welsh Government; giving us a unique opportunity to make a real change to lives of Wales's pupils, students and teachers.
Section 28 of the Local Government Act was finally repealed in England and Wales on 18 September 2003. Prior to this, the Welsh Assembly guidance, Sex and Relationships Education in Schools (2002) clearly stated that Section 28 did not prevent "objective discussions of homosexuality" in the classroom, effectively repealing Section 28 a year earlier in Wales.
The Welsh Assembly's Respecting Others: Anti Bullying Guidance (2003) acknowledges the existence of bullying in relation to sexual orientation and identifies that homophobic bullying is not restricted to pupils who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual. Anyone who is thought to be 'gay,' who is perceived to be 'different' or who does not conform to traditional gender roles can be subjected to homophobic bullying.
Respecting Others advocates a whole school approach to tackling bullying. This will include discussing same-sex relationships and sexual orientation in Personal and Social Education, raising awareness of discrimination and homophobia across the taught curriculum and acknowledging homophobic bullying in anti-bullying policies, behaviour policies and Equal Opportunity policies. The need to challenge homophobic language is also highlighted. The word 'gay' is widely used as an insult and needs to be challenged in the same way as racist language is challenged. Respecting Others has cross-party support.
In addition, Estyn, the Wales education and training inspectorate, include evaluation of the effectiveness of school bullying policies as part of their inspection criteria.
In 2006 a review of the implementation of the Respecting Others guidance was commissioned by Jane Davidson, Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning. The evaluation found that those policies which identified and tackled bullying across all 'strands' including those that specifically discussed how homophobic bullying is manifest and how it should be addressed, were consistently the most effective (Evaluation of Anti-Bullying Policies in Schools in Wales, 2006).
A major survey of Britain's secondary schools has revealed that almost two thirds of lesbian and gay pupils (156,000 children) have been victims of homophobic bullying.
The School Report, the largest poll of young gay people ever conducted in this country, presents a shocking picture of the extent of homophobic bullying undertaken by fellow pupils and, alarmingly, school staff.
Key findings are:
The survey of 1,145 young people, conducted by the Schools Health Education Unit for Stonewall, also highlights the consequences of bullying for gay pupils. Seven out of ten of those who have experienced it say it has adversely affected their school work. Half of those bullied say they have missed school as a result.
The report does demonstrate significant benefits when schools intervene. In schools that have said homophobic bullying is wrong, gay young people are 60 per cent more likely not to have been bullied. The incidence of anti-gay bullying remains higher in 'faith schools'.
Click here to read the full report.
If you cannot find the information you need on this website, you can call the Stonewall Cymru offices on 029 20 237744 or 01492 622202 or the Stonewall info line on 08000 50 20 20 (Mon-Fri 9:30am - 5:30pm) and we will try to point you in the right direction.

Calico Spanish
If you are looking for a full-immersion program then let me introduce you to Calico Spanish.
Opening the box that contained Calico's Teach at Home curriculum was a very pleasant surprise! I was immediately struck by how thorough it is. It is designed to teach children in Kindergarten through 5th grade.
The curriculum includes:
• Teacher's Manual – A comprehensive guide containing a welcome section that explains about the program; an introductory lesson to help the teacher prepare and become comfortable; and then 15 lessons. Calico offers two sample schedules for varying length of class time. In a 30 minute class, the lesson can be taught over a period of up to 10 days. For 60 minutes, parents might prefer a 5-day schedule. But of course, I can modify it all to work for my family's schedule.
Each lesson contains songs, calendar time, a specific number, letter, and color, games, "zoo" time/animal introduction, activities and a final closing. Not all of these are taught in one day, but rather spread out over the one- or two-week period. I really like how flexible the lessons are; I can choose to use the scripts provided, or simply teach it on my own focusing on the subject. The lesson scripts are provided in Spanish and English, though they encourage you to use only Spanish.
• Student Activity Book – This books mostly contains the words to the songs the children are learning – which provides them with a wonderful opportunity to learn how to read in Spanish. But there are also a few worksheets and coloring pages, including a blank calendar that they can fill in each month. The book is spiral bound, which I really like because since I have two kids, I can easily make copies of each page without wrestling with the binding.
• Spanish Songs for Kids CD – Very fun and easy for kids to learn. You can listen to a sample here and watch the accompanying video.
• A set of Calico Spanish Flash Cards – A custom set of 149 flash cards showing the alphabet, numbers, colors, etc. We love the illustrations! My kids are very visual and if the illustrations are not appealing, then they get bored. That's one thing I don't have to worry about with this curriculum.
• Verbos Flash Cards – 93 action verbs depicted with Spanish words, plus a suggested activity card. These can be displayed on your class board, or used in the lesson.
• First Thousand Words in Spanish – A Usborne fully-illustrated dictionary that immediately captivates children. (Don't all Usborne books?) My kids love looking through this book and calling out the words.
• ¡Corre, perro, corre! By P.D. Eastman – A super funny book about dogs engaged in all sorts of activities.
• Homeschool Poster Set – This set of posters can be posted on the wall or board in your classroom. It includes lables (months, headers), mini-posters (emotions, colors, numbers by tens), and posters (the alphabet, the parts of the body).
What has impressed me the most about this curriculum is that so much thought and effort has gone into creating each piece. And I SO appreciate that Calico provides me with everything I need, including the classroom posters and bulletin board labels.
As an added bonus, I discovered Calico's YouTube channel. I'm not sure if these videos are incorporated into the lesson plans (I haven't run across one yet), but they would certainly go very well with the curriculum.
The curriculum costs $299.97, and you can purchase it here. I think it is worth every penny. This is the most expensive curriculum I had the chance to review, but I want to remind you that you get a high-quality product that includes all the tools you need to teach the lessons effectively. They are so sure you'll love their product that they offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
Calico is currently working on an online version that will be $49 for the first month and then $9/month thereafter. And parents will receive physical copies of select materials with their initial purchase.
Again, if you have any questions or thoughts, leave a comment below and we'll get back to you.
Con mucho cariño…

I wonder if some parts of it will not be of use to me since I have a rising 4th grader.ReplyDeleteReplies
Karen, this is an introductory program. I'm not sure how fluent your child is, but this centers around the basics. I believe, however, that Calico has plans to release Level 2 for homeschools in August of this year (2012). Level 2 is a terrific resource providing lots of opportunities for discussion and responses to literature. I can put you in touch with them if you'd like to find out more about it?Delete

Hi there. Should I go with Calico or Sonrisas program for at home immersion?ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, it depends on what angle you want to take. Sonrisas has a heavy literature component to it and incorporates a lot of bilingual books, which you'd have to purchase separately. Calico does not have that heavy emphasis on literature, but comes with all the resources you see above.Delete

Thanks, I guess I want the one that would be the most effective in getting my children and I fluent the fastest. While having fun too.Delete

Or is there another program you would suggest. My goal is speaking fluently. Thank youDelete

Is Calico useful for non Spanish speaking children?ReplyDelete
Thank you for organizing everything into a list and writing recommendations for each.
Absolutely, Gladys. Although this is available as a full-immersion program, the Teacher's Guide comes with text in English and Spanish, so you can choose what works best for your children.Delete

Thank you, GladysDelete

It's been nearly two years since The Food Lab first appeared on Serious Eats, and despite dozens of explorations into the deeper realms of cooking and food science, we've still only begun to scratch the surface of everything that goes on in the kitchen.
So this week I'll turn the floor over to you, Serious Eaters. Here's my promise: from now until noon on Thursday, September 8th, post any question or comment you'd like, and on Friday morning's regular Food Lab post, I will answer every single question to the best of my ability.
Ever wonder why green beans turn drab as you cook them (or how you can prevent it)? Now's your chance to find out. How about why good ice cream melts more slowly than bad ice cream? Or just what the heck is methylcellulose, and what do fancy chefs use it for?
Who makes the best blenders? Should you be using plastic, glass or wooden cutting boards? Why don't they refrigerate their eggs over in Europe? Want to know who my second grade teacher was, why George is my favorite Beatle and, or just who do I think I am? Well, I'll answer those questions too. Ask me anything—and I mean anything—and I will give you my best answer.

CHAPMANVILLE — A house full of enthusiasm greeted Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito as she spoke Saturday, April 27, at the Logan Country Club in Chapmanville.
Capito, who has already announced plans to give up her seat in congress to make a run for the United States senate in 2014, warmed up to the overflow crowd with partisan rhetoric and anecdotes about her famous West Virginia political family.
The congresswoman has served the second congressional district for 14 years and announced plans to run for the senate before incumbent Democrat Jay Rockefeller revealed he would retire at the end of his current term in 2014.
"As a matter of courtesy, I called Senator Rockefeller to tell him I would be running for his senate seat in 2014," Capito beamed. "He likes to say my call had no effect on his ultimate decision to retire. I like to think I pushed him out," she said to laughter from the room.
Capito pointed out that her father, legendary West Virginia Governor Arch A. Moore, Jr., was well-known as "working just as hard for Democrats as he did Republicans." Along those lines, she commented, "I'll bet there are plenty of Democrats and Independents in this room tonight and we need you to win this race.
Gary Lee Corn of Logan served as master of ceremonies for the event, billed as "A Gathering in the Hills." It was sponsored by the Republican executive committees of Boone, Lincoln, Logan and Mingo counties, Lincoln County Chairperson Lisa Ramey, Boone Chair Larry Lyon, Jr., Mingo Chair Russell Deskins and Logan Chair Diane Dewey White were all introduced to the crowd.
Following musical entertainment by Steve Smarr of Boone County, Janice Stone of Logan extended a welcome to those in attendance. A recognition of guests, which included Delegate Marty Gearheart of Mercer County followed, along with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Chad Story of Logan and invocation by Howard Isaacs of Lincoln.
Following a buffet dinner of lasagna and salad, Lyon introduced Capito. His prepared remarks included a welcome to Capito's husband, Charles Capito, who was at another engagement the congresswoman said. Realizing his gaffe, Lyon said,"if he (Charles Capito) was here, which I wish he was."
Capito then spoke for about 20 minutes, entertaining the crowd with her political positions and stories regarding her family. Guests, who paid $25 each for the dinner, circulated a greeting card for former Governor Moore, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday at his home in Glen Dale.
In her speech, Capito criticized Obamacare health insurance, saying she would oppose any move in congress to exempt legislators from participating in the plan. "If it's good for you, it's good for us," she exclaimed.
She was also critical of what she called the overspending in Washington. "If you or I have less money, guess what, we eliminate and cut expenses."
Capito brought loud cheers from the crowd when she reiterated her support for coal mining in the Mountain State. "I will always stand up for coal and West Virginia jobs," she concluded.

Remember the LHW "main event" between an undefeated Mr. Wonderful and Rashad Evans? Do most of you believe Evans will win and return to (or re-affirm) his place as next title challenger? I know it's more entertaining to pay attention to Fail Sonnen and reward him for bad behaviour, but what are your picks?

I can't see how Davis beats Evans. Unless he's done a LOT of work on his standup since his last fight, Davis hasn't really got much on the feet, and Evans has never really been easy to keep down for long. I'd take Rashad any day in this fight.
As for Sonnen and Bisping, I think I'm more comfortable just rooting for the floor to collapse after the introductions than decide if I want the money-launderer who failed a drug test or the manchild who throws blatant illegal shots to win.

Tasha Priester has a saying that she lives by: Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story ( - Josh Shipp).
The 32-year-old teaches first grade at Beech Hill Elementary, where she has been for five years. This is her 11th year teaching. She previously worked in Beaufort County. She came to DD2 after wanting a change, and hearing good things about the district. Its wonderful I love it here, she said.
Priester went to the University of South Carolina, majoring in early childhood education. She is originally from Walterboro, where she still lives, and attended Walterboro High School.
Priester grew up with a love for kids and helping others, and always knew she wanted to be a teacher. I love the little kids and watching them grow, she said. First grade is the year when they expand their knowledge so much and its just very rewarding to see them, and see the light bulb come on because they understand it.
Priester said there is never a dull moment in her first grade classroom. She tries to instill in her children self-esteem, confidence and pride in themselves. Her classroom practices a bucket filler where everyone has an imaginary bucket, which they fill by giving or receiving compliments or words of praise. Priester said her best experience teaching is hearing her students say things like, Thank you for filling my bucket as they spread positive vibes.
Its good to hear that they are getting more than just academics, she said.
Other than teaching Priester is Team Leader for first grade and also represents first grade for the E/LA curriculum. She is also on Think Lighthouse.
Priesters professional goal is to live by her mantra to positively impact as many students as she can. I hope to be that caring adult so that every one of my kids can succeed and excel to their full potential, she said. I love the kids. You can grow so much. Its really rewarding to be with the children they are my heart.
Priester is married to her husband of 12 years, Kelvin. Priester keeps a dark red betta fish in her classroom, which the kids named Raz because he resembles the color of a raspberry.
Together she and her husband like to spend time outdoors. Priester is an avid college football fan and gets her husband to attend games and tailgates with her. She enjoys reading and volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, as well as volunteering with other church activities. She is a part of Faith Assembly in Summerville. When they can the couple likes to travel.
Priester said her life goal is to spread Gods love and impact the world, as well as the people she is around. She loves the atmosphere and the support from the administration at Beech Hill.
The children make it the best, she said. Its like theyre mine, so I have 21 little ones. Everything I do is for their best interest.

Making a winter(warfare) survival kit
No I'm not talking about gloves a blanket and some candles in the back of a car kind of survival kit.
I'm instructing on a winter warfare course. One thing I intend to do is make the soldiers put together an individual (winter warefare) survival kit.
'Light infantry role & you get separated and need to survive for 4 or 5 days (a week whatever) on your own until help comes'.
I'm going to have them come up with a list on their own and then compare it to my list (and I'm hoping to get some ideas from you gentlemen).
Size and weight are important BUT it doesn't just have to fit in a tiny pouch-this is the need to survive stuff.
Also if anyone is interested throw out some ideas of basic key winter warfare gear they wouldn't leave home without to drag around in a sled/snowmobile for a 10-12 man team. (I'm never caught without an MSR pocket stove, SOG tomahawk or snow goggles)
The challenge is space vs comfort vs packing light.You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it

I always thought the whole dog-tag-chain-wire-saw cutter thingy with a fire starter Mg strip, sharpened/polished blank dog tag and other accessories seemed like a very light weight method to transport a few potentially helpful tools that would last you a few days alone. I think someone sells them as the Ranger Rick Survival Necklace (ghey), but I read a really good article from a survivalist that made some very practical and useful changes to the design.
Do you think you should break it up into considerations for a length of duration for exposure, temp, etc? I mean, there's a difference between going out a few days in 40 degree weather vs. -30. At least I think there is. I don't go outside when it looks cold...
I'd look at it like a list of things that could fit in a small day bag for being the absolute minimum/must have items, a list for, "hey, it's a little colder", and maybe one for a nuclear winter. Maybe. Very interesting topic. Thanks.

I keep a small butane torch type lighter of the type for lighting cigars. Trying to start damp tender with a flint, wind and cold hands is no easy task. It's not large, fits easily in the pocket yet has a decent fuel capacity. One fill should last a long time.
If you're wet and in danger of hypothermia it is important to get warm ASAP.
A good knife and small stone for keeping sharp are paramount to any survival kit no matter what the temperature. Having said that, many people can't sharpen a knife to a fine edge. Instruction on sharpening should be considered as part of any survival training.Carter Hargrave's Jeet Can't Do

A hatchet and twine for making a lean-to or other improvised shelter. High calorie food (chocolate, energy bars) plus dried soup & hot cocoa. Space blankets are good and if space permits; dry socks, gloves and long underwear. Multiple ways to make fire.
Edit - the above is what each individual should carry. If they have a sled as in the original post, then full size tarps, rope, saws, real blankets, cook stove, fuel, pots, and more food.

I second the lighter recommendation and also recommend an AK47 type bayonet. If you've ever had the chance to play with the AK bayonet, they are very useful tools (can slip the knife by the barrel loop into the sheath and use as a hammer). I always bought and took my own rubberized or otherwise waterproof poncho in my kit.
Before we deployed to BiH and Iraq at CIF I got the largest sized gortex tops they had available. Got some strange looks, but having my own 1-person tent in the cold wet rain was awesome! Can just slap it over your IBA too.
IBA's are nice in warm too. Most of the time I just wore a wooley pulley under my BDU tops in BiH under the flak vests. Yep, I'm olllllddddddddddddddddd.

One of the ways we made a fire starter when I was a kid, (and is pretty cheap) was to get cotton balls and saturate them in petroleum jelly. Then we put them in an old pill bottle until ready to use. We would always tape waterproof matches to the pill bottle so we wouldn't lose them.
The other thing we always carried was a canteen cup and a jar of bullion cubes. I know that you don't get much in the way of calories, but it sure helps your morale if your stuck, and can drink a nice hot cup of chicken flavored water.

CLARKSBURG - Throughout his high school basketball career, Brett Morris was often referred to as the "best kept secret" in the state as Webster County High School is tucked away in an isolated part of West Virginia, an area stuck outside of most media's primary markets.
Some secrets are impossible to keep hidden though and on Thursday, Morris was selected as the first-team captain for the Class AA boys' basketball all-state team by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
Morris, who was the top vote-getter in his class, led the Highlanders to within a game of a second consecutive state tournament appearance but Webster was ousted by North Marion is a thrilling double overtime Region I co-final. He finished his senior season leading the Highlanders in five statistical categories with averages of 25.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 4.6 blocks.
He's joined on the first team by a pair of Bluefield players, junior guards Lykel Collier and Anthony Eades, who helped the Beavers capture their first Class AA state championship since 1996.
Eades, who averaged roughly 20 points per contest, joins Morris as the only repeat selection to the Class AA first team. Collier, was last year's second-team captain, averaged 15 points, eight assists and five rebounds.
A trio of Big 10 Conference schools that moved down from Class AAA to Class AA this season and advanced to the semifinal round of the state tournament. Fairmont Senior, Bridgeport and Robert C. Byrd are represented on the first team by one player apiece.
For the Polar Bears, senior Travon Horton, who averaged 18.5 points and seven rebounds, was picked after leading his team up against Bluefield in last Saturday's title game. Bridgeport's Tyler Sprouse, who averaged 14.7 points, three assists and 2.5 steals, was the Indians top scorer and helped his team advance to the state semifinals.
Sophomore Devonti Birch has emerged as one of the state's most versatile players and was the leading scorer at 13.2 points, along with averages of 6.1 rebounds and 3.1 steals.
The first team is rounded out by Chapmanville's Mackenzie Martin and Liberty Raleigh's Levi Cook. Martin averaged a double-double with 20.5 points and 11 rebounds per contest as did the sophomore Cook, who averaged 23.5 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.1 blocks and 3.1 steals per game.
Fairmont Senior junior point guard Jarin Hilson is the captain of the second team. He averaged 16.8 points and six assists per contest. Hilson is joined by Summers County's Taron Ayers (27.5 ppg, 3 apg), Westside's Corey Bowles (19 ppg, 4 apg, 3 steals per game), North Marion's Matt Cain (12 ppg, 5 rpg), Ritchie County's Andrew Davis (18.8 ppg), Scott's Matt Dolan (17.0 ppg), Sissonville's Zach Null (17.8 ppg, 4.5 apg) and Tolsia's Morgan Stacy (17.0ppg).
The captain of the third team is Bluefield' s Michael Yost (15 ppg). He is joined by Mingo Central's Austin Banks (15.3 ppg, 8.5 apg, 6.1 rpg), Wyoming East's Brett Bowling (16.9 ppg), Westside's Justin Cogar (17.0 ppg, 8.5rpg), Poca's Noah Frampton (14.3 ppg), Bridgeport's Jordan Haywood (13.8 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.8 apg), Robert C. Byrd's Iziah Hill (10.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.8 apg) and Fairmont Senior's Shaquille Washington (11.5 ppg, 9.8 rpg).

HOWEVER, this applies to nearly every major mmo the past few years - they are ALWAYS and generally, pretty good games.
Guild wars 2 will not be stranger to this pattern, people are looking for the perfect game that does not exist and probably will not exist in our lifetime.

Theres nothing wrong with waiting for a review but in todays MMO gaming world almost every company offers free betas for players to check out the product and kick the tires for a bit so you pretty much have an idea if purchasing the game is worth it to you or not. For me personally I do not wait for reviews and do not play most of the betas, if the concept interest me enough I will give it a go for 3 months good or bad and decide from there. The one beta I did play this year was GW2 and I really enjoyed it, it just seemed to have everything I was looking for in a game for my busy real life schedule, not to mention being buy to play with no sub I won't feel the pressure of other sub based games with the need to keep up with everyone else, just log on do my thing with my guildies and progress at my own pace.

I don't understand these posts.
"I don't like the way this game looks. I want all of you to defend it against my perception."
There have been thousands of games that didn't interest me, that I didn't like the look of, or the feel of. What I did was ignore them and look for something else. I certainly didn't seek people out on each game and ask them why I should play it. Life's too short.

When I first read your post, I figured, this is a player that does not like themepark games but yet he wants to know if he will like a themepark game. [mod edit] If you dislike themepark games, they why would you care about knowing more information about a themepark game?
Also Mount and Blade combat is not better than GW2 combat. I have PLAYED BOTH. Skyrim was also a very simple and easy game, no thinking required to beat that game, just follow what the NPCs tell you to do and you will win the game. (not a bad thing but funny people like you see it as sandbox and not what it really is, a themepark without rails)
Mount and Blade combat is easy after you learn how the combat works, it is button mashing like you said you hate but clearly you do not if you like M&B combat. Sure you do not have a skill bar but you do nothing but click your mouse botton to block or attack over and over again while moving around to avoid being hit. Hmmm sounds like GW2 combat to me and again I have played GW2 and know how the combat works, you do not.
Is GW2 the end all be all MMORPG? Nope
Is GW2 for everyone? Nope, you are clearly not who this game was made for. (You also have no idea what kind of game you want but that is another story)
Guild Wars 2 will be my home for many years after playing the beta's and stress tests. $60 for even a month worth of entertainment is beyond a good deal. Lets forget the fact that $60 is nothing in today's world, shit $60 is what it cost to fill up my car when its on E.

Guild Wars 2 is absolutely Revolutionary!
after playing MMO's for 10+ years now I haven't played an MMO for more then 1 week in over a year now.
I've been burned out on traditional theme parks for tooooo long now. When I left RIFT a year ago I looked at this game as my last chance on the Genre before I pack "gaming" away and just move into FPS's.
I did my research and watched all available videos'. I also learned that I could get a refund of my full pre purchase if I chose.
So with nothing to lose I decided to give it a shot to prove it for myself. Other recently releases this year have been completely worthless to me and a waste of my time so I was a little worried this would be too. 160+ hours later and I've never in 15 years been this excited about a game.... So am I waiting for any more reviews / combat appeal? nope I've proven to myself that no other game offers anything remotely close to what Guild Wars 2 offers. Combat is challanging and rewarding and at levels 30+ it definitely becomes more coordinated oriented.
The game is the only game heading in the right direction and provides an appeal to everything I love about Themeparks, Sand Boxes (which when they add player housing and guild halls will make me happier) as well as PvP.
If you can't figure out for yourself if this game is for you by all the video's in Aerowyns collection stickied thread then like others have said, this genre is probably not for you and or you are burned out and beyond repair.
Sad thing is a lot of people are burned out and blaming the game instead of giving the game credit for what its doing they are over simplifying and over catergorizing the great things ANET is accomplishing with this game. I'm not saying your doing this but so many people who are complaining about this game for the most part aren't providing much valid argument that doesn't fit into major issues of the game. What I mean is most people I see complaning can't recognise for themselves they are just done and instead are trying to demand the game be something it isn't and then call it same ol same ol...
I was burned out and thankfully I wasn't beyond return, I'm excited that I have a game to play and one I can definitely see myself enjoying for 6 months to a year along side other FPS games coming soon.

Do you think just because someone is not the driver of a car that makes him ignorant to the make, model, and specs of it? Themepark is very limited and if this Asura youtube guy is killing a fire elemental rest assured if I played I would do the same thing with different skills.

Waiting for reviews is the best policy. Unfortunately, I am an early adopter, so I accept the risk of a pre-purchace. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

Seriously though, some people will have this reaction. Some people will also be incredibly bummed they missed the "awesome launch period" (note: this is true whether there actually is an "awesome launch" or not).
One important difference between previous releases and GW2 is many of us have already put in well over 100 hours with the game and are basing our impressions/views/feelings on that. I remember SWTOR and TSW and the large number of posts from both Closed and Open Beta Testers crying "Beware, Beware!!!" who were often shouted down by the fanbois.
Where are those many CBT posts for GW2? Simple they don't exist because so many have actually played the game without any NDA. GW2 will certainly not be "the perfect game" for everybody but expect it to do well, very well, because it does deliver on what it promised to for many of us.
OP - I feel for you. It sounds like your tastes aren't "mainstream" and that definitely sucks when looking for a game (especially an MMO since their development costs and chance of failure are so high). There are several people who knowing their tastes I have specifically recommended to them that they stay away from GW2 because it just isn't the style of game they like. Hopefully Archeage, Salem, or The Repopulation are looking good to you?
One reason I truly hope GW2 is successful is because they did take some risks and not make another WoW Clone. I really want that success to carry throughout the industry giving other companies to try new, well-thought-out designs that appeal more to "Sandboxers" as well as other types of gamers.

Do you think I'll suddenly form an opinion because I am the one walking or running? The gameplay and graphics will be the exact same.

So... just... wait for the reviews?
Based on what you said (and how you interpret the videos you have watched), it doesn't look like you'll like the game even if the metascore is like 9+. Honestly, you should probably just move to another game that you might like more.

There are games I will wait for review on, and ones that have my money at hello. There are also games I back on Kickstarter such as The Repopulation.
Guild Wars 2 had my money the day pre-purchase started and I was willing to gamble we would have a fun game here. The way ArenaNet took care of their Guild Wars community was stellar, and while that game wasn't for everyone, it was quality for it's day. Still is a great little game to tool around in for cheap as hell, even today. I was thinking last night they could almost put it in a browser and stick it on Facebook or the iPad.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

Maggie Smith
Spur Line
Westlake Avenue North, from Galer Street to Crockett Street
Seattle Department of Transportation 1% for Art and general funds
Artist Maggie Smith worked on a design team with City of Seattle staff to provide enhancements to designated elements of the West Lake Union Improvement project. The project began as a partnership among community members, businesses, Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to develop a pedestrian/bicycle pathway and to improve parking and drainage and water quality into Lake Union.
The artwork, Spur Line, draws much of its thematic content and formal cues from the history of Lake Union as a working waterway, the rail line that followed the water's edge and the drainage system below the path. The artwork consists of benches, sidewalk inserts, pedestrian handrail and a listening tube connected to the drainage infrastructure. At Waterway #1, the whimsical galvanized steel "listening tube," a double-bell reference to speaking tubes used on old boats to connect above with below, carries the sound of water from an innovative below-ground stormwater treatment unit, a Seattle Public Utility facility. The artwork's interactive element and text in the pathway reinforce references to the work SPU performs in treating stormwater.

The man at the top of the mortgage company that nearly crippled Bank of America says he has no regrets.
Angelo Mozilo, the former Countrywide CEO who sold the company to BofA just as the housing bubble burst, says the mortgage originator was a "world-class company" that did not cause the country's foreclosure problem.
His comments come from a 2011 deposition (full deposition below) that was released last week. In it the plaintiffs lawyer asks Mozilo, who paid $67 million to settle with the SEC back in 2010, if he has any regrets about the way he ran Countrywide in light of "all the foreclosures and ruined lives and lawsuits.
Mozilo's response may, or may not, surprise you. He says none of those things were the result of any lending Contrywide did but rather the problem was that home values deteriorated and homeowners gave up and walked out. Mozilo on homeowners:
These people didn't lose their jobs. They didn't lose their health. They didn't lose their marriage. Those are the three factors that cause foreclosure. They left their home because the values went below the mortgage. That's what caused the problem.
The sentiment is interesting considering the SEC's earlier allegations that say Mozilo publicly reassured investors about the quality of Countrywide loans but meanwhile issued warnings and sold $140 million of his own shares prior to the collapse. Then again, Mozilo has wiped his hands clean of the Countrywide mess.
The man in charge of cleaning it up is Brian Moynihan whose BofA made the terrible mistake (under former CEO Ken Lewis) of purchasing Countrywide back in 2008 for $4 billion.
The acquisition has cost BofA some $40 billion in suits, settlements and other litigation costs according to some estimates. Dick Bove estimates it could end up costing the bank $53 billion.
Mozilo is sitting pretty avoiding much of the Countrywide infection that has plagued Bank of America ever since the acquisition while Moynihan and BofA continue to fight its never-ending battles. That's why Mozilo's comments last summer–at a time when BofA shares were off by more than 60% since the financial crisis–burn even more.
In continued defense of his leadership at the Countrywide he tells the lawyer in the deposition that the firm "made no made no loans in Greece. We made no loans in Ireland. We made no loans in Portugal." Last time we checked, BofA's Eurozone exposure was the least of its problems.
The awkwardness of Mozilo's testimony is this: The ongoing MBIA case names Countrywide as the defendant but it's the parent company, BofA, that will ultimately bear the brunt of the case. So while Mozilo defends the way he raised his "sixth child" (that's how he describes Countrywide) Moynihan is left holding the tab.
It hasn't been an easy time for the lawyer turned CEO. Moynihan's ability to turn the bank around was questioned intensely since his appointment to the top but he's come a long way. As Bloomberg points out, BofA is the best performer in the Dow Jones Industrial Average for 2012, doubling since the start of the year.
Much of that is thanks to Moynihan's strategy of raising capital through a vast number of divestments thus restoring investor confidence in the nation's second largest bank. Consider that not long ago BofA had the worst capital levels among its big bank peers but in the most recent quarter the bank reported a Basel III Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.97%–beating JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup.
The bank was one of the first to announce massive job cuts as a means to save on expenses.
Moynihan has come a long way and while he still has a way to go before the ghost of Countrywide can be defeated once and for all there's little doubt that BofA is on the right track for now. Sixth child be damned.

In a modest two-room office tucked away in a Daniel Island shopping plaza lie the makings of something tremendous.
No ornate decorations or grandeur, just the buzz and bang of construction work in harmony with the ring of the phone echoing through the office. While it may be hard to tell, years of prayer and hopes are just days from coming to life. A longtime dream of a Catholic parish on Daniel Island will finally become a reality on Easter Sunday as St. Clare of Assisi celebrates its first official mass and is canonically established as the parish of Daniel Island.
At the forefront of the debut is the Rev. Gregory West. Born and raised in the Charleston area, West spent the last 20 years spreading his ministry around the state before returning home a month ago to deliver a Catholic parish to Daniel Island. With no physical church, West has set up in the office space and Bishop England High School to lay the groundwork for the parish. St. Clare of Assisi will be the third Catholic parish West has established in South Carolina since 1995. "Right now, we're building the infrastructure," West said. "We're organizing the skeleton of what it means to run a church."
West says the Catholic Diocese of Charleston has been interested in creating a parish on Daniel Island since Bishop England relocated there in 1998. Bishop of Charleston Robert Guglielmone has been eager to begin the past couple of years, but the Diocese had to wait until it could secure priest personnel and until Daniel Island had the population to justify the parish.
"We've gotten to the point where we can devote a lot of our energy, particularly priest personnel, to what's happening here," West said. "There are great growth plans here. It's really picking up steam. Now is the perfect time to get going." For the past four weeks, West and St. Clare have used Bishop England's performing arts center to hold Mass. More than 600 people filled the 520-seat auditorium for the first Mass. With an even larger crowd expected Sunday, Mass will be held in the Bishop England gymnasium. Daniel Island residents currently filter out to more than 10 different Catholic parishes throughout the Charleston area. West says building a church on Daniel Island is a priority but admits it's realistically still years from happening. Until then, St. Clare will continue to utilize Bishop England to worship. "Bishop England has been incredibly gracious and generous in hosting us," West said. "We're all in the same Catholic family.
The name St. Clare of Assisi was one of 30 nominated by the congregation. Bishop Guglielmone narrowed the list down to 16 for the congregation to vote on one. West says aligning the parish's first Mass with Easter Sunday will have a "tremendously positive" effect. He admits there have already been challenges and knows that more lie ahead. But through prayer and faith, he's sure the timing is right for what lies ahead.

Savings not worth the theatrics
While President Obama has been flying around the country attempting to scare people into believing the sky will fall because of the sequester, the simple fact is that federal domestic spending has soared more than 80 percent since Barack Obama took office. Some agencies have doubled and tripled their budgets.
In reality, the sequester will only scale back just one in every $6 in discretionary spending increases since 2008. Hardly worth all the campaign like theatrics when this is not even really a cut. It is a modest growth rate reduction following years of embarrassing, unnecessary and unsustainable excesses.
I guess a little leadership is too much to ask for from our debonair grifter president.
Allan C. Sorensen

Jake Shields Tests Positive For Banned Substances Following UFC 150 Win, Suspended Six-Months
To my friends, fans and the UFC,
Prior to my professional bout at UFC 150 in Denver, Colorado, I used a substance prohibited by Colorado Boxing Commission rules.
This was a mistake that I fully regret. I have shared this issue with my family and the UFC and I have apologized to them and now I also apologize to you, the fans. I promise this will never occur again in my fighting career.
I accept the Boxing Commissions decision for a six-month suspension, which will expire in February. I ask that you accept my apology. I will be back fighting soon, and hope that the fans of MMA will support me until that time.

Jindal pitches Obamacare delay
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has one idea to help avoid the looming sequester: Use Obamacare.
The Republican governor said delaying the expansion of Medicaid and delaying the health care exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act would help find the funds to offset the coming automatic budget cuts.
"You could save tens of billions of dollars there … and you're not even cutting a program that's started yet," Jindal argued Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Just delay it for a few years."
Though unlikely to gain traction, Jindal's proposal is the governor's latest attack against the president's health care law. In particular, Jindal has stood firm against the Medicaid expansion that is a key tenet of the Affordable Care Act.
Still, he refrained from criticizing his fellow GOP governors who have agreed to expanding Medicaid in their states -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott became the latest Republican governor to do so.
"Every governor needs to make the decision that's best for their state," Jindal said. "For Louisiana, this would cost Louisiana taxpayers over $1 billion over the next 10 years."
"In Louisiana alone, as many as 180,000 people would be moved from private insurance to Medicaid under this expansion," Jindal continued. "That doesn't make sense. It is not effective outcomes. It is not an efficient program. We've offered to meet with the president. He has yet to respond to us."

Ben Stiller Stars in GreenbergSunday, April 4th, 2010
Ben Stiller in Greenberg
Few in Hollywood can perform with consistency on both sides of the camera the way Ben Stiller can.
If Zoolander didn't establish that, Tropic Thunder certainly confirmed Stiller's dual talent, underscored by Robert Downey Jr.'s supporting-actor Oscar nomination for his obsessed Tropic Thunder thespian.
Besides being multi-faceted, the 44-year-old is also bankable, which is another rare commodity. Stiller movies have earned more than $1.5 billion US world wide.
That includes the aforementioned Tropic Thunder, and a few studio comedy franchises, most notably, the Meet the Parents series and Night at the Museum flicks.
From time to time, Stiller wades into the more tempered humour pool to challenge himself in emoting territory removed from his more exaggerated comedy comfort zone.
That would be the case in Noah Baumbach's Greenberg, which opened in select theatres last Friday.
In the movie, Stiller plays the title character, a neurotic New York underachiever who suffers a breakdown. After treatment, he hangs out at this brother's L.A. home, ostensibly house-sitting while the family goes on an exotic vacation.
After boredom sets in, Greenberg tries to re-connect with some old rock 'n' roll band mates, including Ivan (Rhys Ifans), who seems to have as many issues as his former sidekick.As they struggle with their past and their presents together, Greenberg develops a new relationship with his brother's just-out-of-college assistant (Greta Gerwig), who seems to be almost as lost as Greenberg.
To tell you that Baumbach (who co-wrote Greenberg with wife Jennifer Jason Leigh) previously put together Kicking and Screaming, The Squid and The Whale, and Margot at the Wedding, is to explain Greenberg, the movie.
It falls somewhere into that milieu, mixing comedy with drama as awkwardly as the characters deal with their individual shortcomings. And that was exactly the challenge Stiller decided he needed.
"I really love Noah's movies, and would have done anything he sent over to me," says Stiller. "He had written such a layered character and movie, and it was intriguing, and not the kind of material I get that often."
Originally, Baumbach had written the part for a younger actor, but re-wrote the role when Stiller showed interest in it.
With the screenplay adjustment, the actor embraced his Greenberg persona as defined by Baumbach's re-modelling. So Stiller jumped in with both feet, defining a cynic who's apathetic and doesn't care.
"Greenberg's trying to get through life, because things haven't really worked out the way he wanted them to," notes Stiller.
Opportunities have passed him by, as the film so deftly underscores, "but he tries to rationalize his lack of momentum" with sarcasm and a temper. "He's probably too smart for his own good," agrees Stiller.
"But everybody struggles with their own sense of themselves," he adds. "Playing this guy gave me a real appreciation for what I have, because it's very easy to focus on what you don't have."
Still, he says he's fortunate his director is just plain "articulate" in showing specific details of all the characters.
"It's really interesting how people react to Greenberg," reports Stiller. "All the reactions seem to be very visceral; audiences are moved by it or it makes them uncomfortable."
He's also thrilled to work with the dog in Greenberg, who had previously played Delgado in Beverly Hills Chihuahua. "I was familiar with his work, because I have kids," he says. "So there was a respect."
Next up for Stiller is a return to the mainstream with Meet the Little Fockers, which opens next Christmas. In it, Stiller's frazzled husband copes, ironically, with kids.
"It was great to re-connect with Robert De Niro," the actor says. "It's always exciting to be around him. He understands his persona, and has an amazing sense of humour."
Meanwhile, Stiller is in the early stages of developing a sequel to Zoolander as writer and director. "We are working on a script right now, so the idea is to have something to shoot next year," Stiller says.
And, of course, after Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian earned a whopping $413 million US worldwide last spring, another Night seems inevitable.
Another Tropic Thunder flick doesn't seem so likely, however.
"I don't think so," he says. "That was a one-off thing that took us nine years from beginning to end."
