Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 19 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ohsarah love! i'm 5ft tall, 91lb, and got the x-small. it was a bit long on me but it's due to my height! the shirt is exactly as picture and very true to size. 5.5.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by CriskoKid5 Not in White I only saw the black and white in person, but from what I saw, I can safely stay to steer clear of the white. The online pictures of it have been brightened. Its much more of an off-white color especially the lacey panel. It kind of looks like a doiley sewed onto the side of an old tank-top. Just had that cheap, dingy look. The black looked fine enough, but I still wouldn't spend 60 bucks on it. FP has stuff that's much cooler for the price. 5.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bren13 The Best! Love everything about this tanktop. Bought the black and it looks so vintage and sexy. I put true to size because i always wear a small in fp even though it would probably be a m in other brands. Wish i could get it in white as well! 1.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nkd Perfect for Summer I loved this shirt from the moment I saw it. The back stitching is beautiful and looks great with jean cutoffs just like the picture. It's perfect for summer/year round or even traveling! 12.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bohemianspirit Amazing! Even better in person! I had been eyeing this tank online for weeks and went in store and tried it on. Wow! I bought both colors! I know it's just a tank, but this looks great on. The cut is fantastic and very sexy, slimming in the waist and the open laced shoulders and back are unique and so la boheme! You can wear these with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, you name it! I love the worn in look and feel; so pleased ! I bought the small and I am busty 34DD a size 6-8, there is some stretch to these and it's fitted but not skin tight by any means. LOVE ! Get them both!!! 12.13.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by DreamSpooky What's with the sizing? 5'10" / 145 lbs. -- Bought the black option. Based on other reviews, it seems like the sizing of these shirts may be inconsistent. Might want to drop by a retail store to see them in person. I usually wear a small in FP tops, but from the fitted way this looked on the model, I bought a medium instead so it would be roomier. Now that it's here, it fits me like it does on the model. It looks fine, but I wish I had gone another size up so it would be a little oversize. However, another reviewer is right; this is a really sexy tank. It's a bit rugged and it looks like it's been loved for years. The crochet trim gives it a fun touch. If you're well endowed, watch out for the low neckline and the slit. I'm pretty much flat up top, but I like to wear a fun bralette underneath for added texture. This shirt is the jam with a pair of dark olive corduroy skinnies, a relaxed cardi and some tall boots. 11.28.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Panama Sexy! This tank is super sexy, I wear XS in FP and bought the XS and it fits perfect. 11.23.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams very cute but fits huge tried this on and my normal FP size, XS fits huge on me, in particular the distance from the shoulders to the armholes is too long, and the shirt hangs way too low on the chest and the croched cutouts end in belly button level and the tank lost its sexy charm in the process... i an 5'4'', 34C 105 lbs and my torso is a little on the short side. 10.10.2012

In World War II's Manhattan Project, ORNL helped usher in the nuclear age. Today, laboratory scientists are leaders in using nuclear technologies and systems to improve human health; explore safer, more environmentally friendly power; and better understand the structure of matter.
Thanks to its nuclear heritage, ORNL is a world leader in the production of isotopes for medical purposes and research. The lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) together provide the western world's sole supply of californium-252, an isotope instrumental in a wide variety of uses including cancer therapy, oil exploration, and explosives detection. In fact, isotopes produced at HFIR have contributed to the discovery of seven new elements in the periodic table. Another isotope that can only be produced at HFIR, Nickel-63, is used to detect explosives and drugs at airports and other sensitive locations around the world.
The laboratory also provides leadership in the full spectrum of the nuclear fuel cycle, from fuel development to storage of used fuel. With government, industrial, and academic partners, ORNL researchers are using simulations and modeling to determine safe, efficient ways to extend the lives of nuclear reactors. Much of this work is accomplished through the ORNL-hosted partnership of government, academia, and industry called CASL (the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors). CASL is using the lab's supercomputers and advanced modeling and simulation techniques to learn how to safely extend the life of reactors and implement new technology that's more efficient and safer to use. ORNL's expertise also supports national security through nuclear forensics, nuclear material detection, and fuel-cycle signature analysis.
Fusion energy is another scientific focal point at ORNL, which manages the US contribution to ITER, the international effort to demonstrate fusion's power-generating potential. When the ITER demonstration reactor comes online, the project will confirm the feasibility of fusion energy—a technology that emits no greenhouse gases, presents no risk of meltdown, produces no long-lived high-level radioactive waste, and offers no potential for nuclear proliferation. ORNL fusion R&D work in plasma physics, fusion reactor materials, plasma materials interactions, plasma heating, and fuel pellet injection technologies is paving the way beyond ITER toward a workable fusion power reactor that will serve future generations.
For scientists interested in advancing nuclear science and technology, Oak Ridge is a premier career option. We have an unmatched combination of computing, reactor, radiochemical and materials research facilities. We also have a vision for new reactor technologies and solving real world problems in the area of nuclear science and engineering. For researchers motivated to build new nuclear technologies, ORNL offers a rewarding and scientifically stimulating environment.
NSSPI Students and Faculty Take Part in Nuclear Security and Safeguards Workshop at ORNL
November 28, 2012 — Six students from TAMU joined students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU) to participate in a hands-on workshop on nuclear security and safeguards at the Safeguards Laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from October 15-19, 2012. Faculty members Dr. Craig Marianno from NSSPI and Dr.
ORNL's medical radioisotope project sees centennial campaign
June 15, 2012 — One of ORNL's most celebrated "trash to treasure" projects is observing a centennial. The Laboratory's Nuclear Medicine Program is in its 100th campaign of thorium-229 and actinium-225 processing, which provides radioisotopes for medical uses that include cancer treatment.
U.S. Rep. Fleischmann touts ORNL as national energy treasure
February 11, 2011 — OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 11, 2011 — One month into his freshman term in Congress, U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., is advocating Oak Ridge as a national energy treasure.
ORNL's Peng wins Fusion Power Associates Leadership Award
August 17, 2010 — OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Aug. 17, 2010 — Martin Peng, a researcher in the Fusion Energy Division of Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been selected by the Fusion Power Associates board of directors to receive a 2010 FPA Leadership Award.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Why don't these come in black?
Actually, the Cassidy Collection Bootcut Pants do come in black. I know, because I just ordered a pair 10 days ago. If you do not see black listed on the website they are sold out. However, you can call customer service and ask when they will have the black back in stock. If you do not need them in a Long or Short size, try your local store.
Why don't you list colors two of the pants both look like brown so I don't know which one is?
Sometimes if the site is having technical difficulties it won't display the color. However, if you hover your mouse over the color boxes it should have written what color it is. As a general guideline, The Limited usually sells 4 standard colors year round: Black, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Khaki/or Sand. If the brown looks almost black it is most likely the dark brown. Also, you can always call customer service and ask them what colors they have in stock in your size. They are the absolute nicest people!
What is the fabric made of?
VERY comfortable
This is a really good question and if I were wearing the pants right now I would be able to check my tag and tell you! However, if you call customer service they will be able to tell you and they are the nicest people, plus no long hold times so that is a huge plus. I can tell you the material is very high class and feels like silk. Make sure you dry clean it so it stays nice.

Fujitsu stitches 10G into backhaul system
The latest version of Fujitsu's Packet Optical Networking Platform (Packet ONP) is designed to make mobile backhaul easier with the integration of 10G SONET and Ethernet.
Version 9.1 of Fujitsu's FlashWave 4100 ES integrates 10 Gbps-capable OC-192 network access and OC-48 service access for SONET traffic and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) service.
Newer networks, such as 4G LTE, must coexist and integrate with legacy networks, such as T1 TDM backhaul. Having to tie SONET deployments and next-generation packet-based communications prompted Fujitsu to develop its FlashWave 4100.
With version 9.1, new OC-192 capability allows service providers to implement the platform in networks offering 10 Gbps access.
The system supports connection-oriented Ethernet (COE), specifically Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)-certified E-Line services. The MEF-compliant COE service delivery provides deterministic QoS performance for the Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs), minimizing packet loss, latency and jitter, the company said. The integrated Y.1731 responder and DS1Network Interface Device eliminate external NIDs while providing remote test access for Ethernet and DS1 services. The system is self-healing in the event of a card or network impact, resulting in sub-50ms restoration times and five nines service availability.
The 2RU FlashWave 4100 ES Micro Packet ONP is environmentally hardened, making it appropriate for backhaul applications and outside plant cabinets, the company said.

SoCal Ghosts festively recount Santas Vs. Grinches scenario.
Friday, December 20th, 2013
Once upon a time in the little town of San Diego stood a nice place, Velocity Paintball Park, whose staff was quite able. In winter's chill, a war would rage, 'tween jolly Saint Nick, his red clad elves, against the giant green meanie, the Grinch himself. They would come from near, they would come from far, they would come by truck, and they would come by car. Above them the skies were clear, a brilliant pure blue, and not a flake of snow below them, on the ground, tis true! Velocity Paintball would be the venue this day and by its end, one side would hold sway!
To the first fight of the day, the horn did announce and the minions of theGrinch how quickly they pounced. Christmas trees with their tin and decorations so bright were swooped up in a flash and in Grinch's green might. Why even Santa's milk and cookies, always such a delight, were grabbed and gobbled and taken out of sight! "Ho, Ho, NO!" cried Santa so loud and so jolly. Off went the elves armed with mistletoe and holly. They pushed and they pushed, and they fought and they fought until, it would seem, they would certainly foil the Grinch plot. Backed up to his lair, the elves with mount Crumpit, the Grinch laughed his Grinch laugh and smiled his Grinch smile, then sent off his minions determined to stop it. Oh how the paint flew, colorfully round as a cherry, oh how the battle grew, with the players laughing so merry. At the end of the first game there arose such a ruckus from the Grinch's dark horde that all those in Whoville already guessed the dark score.
"This cannot go on!" Santa decreed, "We must save Christmas! Press on, full speed!" Upon switching sides, the elves how they flew and quickly took back most of that stolen buy you-know-who. The Grinch how he bellowed to keep up the fight and Santa he hollered to all a good night! The firing was quick, the action intense, both sides pressed hard but kept up their defense. Bunkers blew as rockets flew and sometimes one couldn't tell who was who but the second round belonged, by the end of the day, to the boys and girls in red, and led Santa to say "Thank you all who fought so quick against the greenies who acted so slick and I hope and I hope with all my elfish might that we made it stick and we won back the fight!"
And while they enjoyed the victory so deserved, they were all rightly shocked when the news they had heard. Christmas was lost, upon that snowless field, to the Grinch with his sneer and to those whom he had appealed. As the night came the little ones sat, in their little red shirts and their little red hats. There they would cry, "Oh Santa! The Grinch he won! You said he was through!" Santa just sat there, a little less merry for it was true. Then he spoke to the children, "We just couldn't stop him, I'm ever so sorry." and sulked away a little less jolly.
Don't worry though Santa, and kids don't you fear, for the Grinch may have stolen Christmas but there's always next year!

Inside Hope Cottage
HOPE COTTAGE: Hope Cottage is a unique retreat cabin overlooking Green Gulch Farm. Originally built as a sanctuary for Hope Wheelwright by her family, the cottage remains one of the most beloved sites at Green Gulch. Perched on a hill and nestled in a grove of Monterey pines, it has glorious views of the Green Gulch Valley and the Pacific Ocean to the southeast and Mt Tamalpais to the north.
Reaching the cottage requires a 25-minute uphill walk. The road is rough and unmaintained, and is used only by Green Gulch supply vehicles. As short-term guests, you will pack your own belongings and any extra food you would like to take with you. We suggest that you plan to hike up leisurely and enjoy your solitude once you are there. There are miles of hiking trails in several directions from the cottage. Please plan to arrive before 4:00p to check in with the office.
WATER: Hope Cottage does not have its own water source. All of the water needs to be driven up from Green Gulch and is transferred into a 1600 gallon drum above Hope Cottage. During a severe drought, the shower may not always be usable. Guests may also shower in the bathhouse or sauna in the central areas of Green Gulch. The water coming from the tap is potable; however, we suggest you drink the fresh spring water supplied in jugs. Please flush the toilet only when necessary.
BEDDING: The cottage has a double bed and a convertible double sofa. Sheets and towels are supplied.
LIGHT: Two solar panels on the roof can keep the lights going for several hours after dark—the fewer lights you use the longer the power lasts. If the batteries are exhausted, the system will recharge and you will have lights again the next day.
HEAT: We stock plenty of wood for a stove set into a large brick fireplace.
FOOD: The modest kitchen has gas burners, a small refrigerator and utensils and pots. We offer staples such as milk, soy milk, cereal, grains, pasta, fruit, bread, cooking oil, salt, pepper, coffee, tea and jam. You may also join the community for meals in the main area or take food back to the cottage to reheat. Meal times are listed above.
We take reservations up to one year in advance. Please see the calendar below for availability and call us at 415-383-3134 to reserve.

Wall Street made the wrong bet in backing Mitt Romney for president and shunning Barack Obama but now it's time for a truce.
The Obama victory comes after a long and merciless effort by both sides. That said, there are plenty of winners and losers but among the latter is Wall Street.
Wall Street all but abandoned Obama in his effort to get re-elected. What started out as a healthy relationship between the White House and much of Wall Street turned ugly fairly quickly. Why? Big commercial and investment banks did not appreciate the president's bank-bashing rhetoric. And of course Obama's Wall Street reform legislation didn't help the relationship either.
As a result,Wall Street wanted Obama out and Romney in. How badly? Just take a quick look at the top contributors to the Romney campaign: $994k from Goldman Sachs, $922k from Bank of America, $827k from Morgan Stanley, $792k from JPMorgan Chase whose CEO frequented the White House quite often early in Obama's presidency. Nine out of ten of Romney's top contributors were financial companies like Citigroup, UBS and Wells Fargo. (For the record, those donations do not come directly from from the firms but rather their PACs, employees and owners.)
But Obama's here for another four years. So what happens to the relationship between the president and his Wall Street foes?
In short, it is time for a truce.
"We cannot continue the warfare between Wall Street and Washington," says SNL bank analyst Nancy Bush.
Bush says both sides need to hit the reset button and have a constructive conversation about how to move this country forward. Obama needs the banks and banks need Obama in order for that to happen, and both sides need to make some concessions.
For one thing, the president can't expect to leave a legacy of economic expansion–true economic expansion–without Wall Street's cooperation. "Obama needs to stop demonizing banks because you can't have a significant recovery without bank lending," Bush adds.
Much of the tension between Wall Street and Obama is the result of all financial regulation reform. That doesn't mean it should be watered down or repealed. The problem is that the very firms that are affected by the rules don't feel they are part of the process nor do they feel their voices are being heard. Whether or not that's a legit complaint it's in the administration's interest to collaborate.
Watch: President Obama 2.0 – What Happens Now?
For instance, Basel III rules are a major point of contention right now. The capital rules that were created in Europe are being forced on U.S. banks with many are well ahead of the 2019 deadline. Meanwhile it seems European banks are not taking the new capital rules quite so seriously. Last month the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision found the U.S. was making strides while the EU lagged behind saying it was "materially non-compliant" in its internal ratings-based approach and that the EU fell short in its definition of capital.
"We can't continue to be the paragons of virtue here while everyone else is saying 'too bad'", Bush notes.
For their part banks will have to make concessions of their own. A slow-growth economy has already its toll on bank revenue and overall growth. It's in Wall Street's best interest to help the country snap out of this rut. But it must first face the reality of the new regulatory environment. No longer can banks deliberately avoid lending while using the excuse that they don't know what the regulatory landscape will look like. The uncertainty about the next president is gone and it's time to start moving forward.
One way to do that, Bush says, is for regulators and firms to agree upon a new standard of credit lending. "There are very stringent standards for credit right now. Both sides need to figure out how tweak that and decide what's good credit and what's not," she says.
Adds Bush, "In the end no one has clean hands here but it's time for a truce because no one is benefiting from the warfare."

Do you have a toddler? If so you are in the throes of some difficult, albeit sometimes funny, yet inappropriate behavior. It happens to every parent...suddenly their precious child turns into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Somewhere around 15-18 months, you will most likely see this change in behavior. Although most books refer to the "terrible twos" I really think it is the "me no wanna" 18-30 month old.
"Me no wanna" is the phrase we often used around our house, and it was coined when the boys were toddlers. It just seemed like the best line when our sweet toddler would rather have a tantrum than do the simple task that we wanted him to do. Example: please put your toy back in the box. "Me no wanna", I would prefer to fall to the floor and scream.
How is it that your typically sweet 20 month old child can be in middle of playing nicely and then suddenly seems possessed as they fling themselves to the floor kicking and screaming? What is the matter? Are they having a seizure? Or is it that "something" just didn't seem right to them and they are angry and frustrated??? How can they change behavior so quickly.? (hint, foreshadowing for those teen years).
You never know with a toddler what kind of answer you will get when you say something as easy as "let's get on your shoes to go outside". Sometimes they happily run get the shoes, bring them to you, sit down and the shoes go on licitly split. The next time they get the shoes, throw them across the room, lay on the floor and look at you like "me no wanna".
Trust me, you are not a "bad" parent, you are just living through some really challenging parenting. It is exhausting at times, but while this age is typically difficult it is some of your most important parenting. This is really the beginning of behavior modification. Your brilliant toddler is testing you, this may be the first time you the parents understand why everyone talks about boundaries and consequences.
Some children also express their "me no wanna" by acting out with hitting, biting and kicking. Again, very inappropriate behavior. Your job is to change that behavior by using time out, or taking away a toy or even putting the child to bed early.. There are so many ways to start letting your toddler know that there are consequences for misbehaving, and that tantrums don't work.
I am in throes of "me no wanna" again, only this time it is with a puppy! Seems very similar to me.

Blaming video games for school shootings hasn't stopped the NRA from releasing its very own first-person shooter for iOS devices.
Update: Please read my extended thoughts on this subject in which I do try, very hard, to be…fair and balanced.
Whoever is managing the NRA's PR wing needs to find a new job.
One month after the Sandy Hook shooting, and just a couple weeks after blaming violent video games for school shootings, the gun lobbying group has released…a video game.
Well, maybe not a "video" game, but an iOS app that simulates a shooting range. You don't shoot "live" targets, but you do shoot pixels. Since you don't really shoot "live" targets in any video game it makes one wonder why this app is any different than any other violent game…beyond the fact that this game offers up handy little safety tips.
NRA: Practice Range is apparently all about gun safety.
"NRA: Practice Range also offers a 3D shooting game that instills safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations," reads the app's description. "It strikes the right balance of gaming and safety education, allowing you to enjoy the most authentic experience possible."
Really, though, whether we want to call shenanigans on the NRA or not, this game is up against stiff competition. Last year alone we saw some really excellent first-person shooters, and none of them—so far as I recall—are as boring as this game appears to be.
Then again, maybe I'm just biased against hypocrisy.
P.S. I'm all for gun safety, I'm just not sure that the best way to learn about gun safety is via your smartphone. Sometimes there really isn't an app for that.

It's time to say "Sayonara" to the Olympics.
The Bratz and I are going to say goodbye to Sochi in style with a gnarly slumber party. I can't wait! You and your besties should throw your own Olympics sleepover this weekend. Just follow our lead!
First – We'll rehash all our fave moments from the Olympics. I totally dug all the ladies extreme sports! The skiing and snowboarding half pipe was soooo rad!
Next – We're going to come up with our own categories to compete in! This part is super fun because everyone at your party will have their own unique idea. Yasmin may want to compete in designing the most fab messy fishtail braid. And Cloe may want to compete in fastest run across the yard. It's all good! Try them all! The best part about having totally different ideas and styles to compete in is that everyone has a chance at winning!
Then – We are going to go through all my fierce thrift store finds and design some super rad Olympic medals. Why just stick to a chunk of metal around your neck when you can design your own awesome shirt, scarf or tie with sewed on fabrics and hardware in gold, silver and bronze? Be creative!
Last – We'll throw our very own medal ceremony for each of the games we competed in during the ceremony. Every girl will be given one of the upcycled, bedazzled "medals" we just designed!
We'll end it all by sitting down to watch a radtastic sports flick with a bowl of popcorn. We earned it! We just held an entire Olympics in one night!
Will you throw your own Olympics slumber party this weekend?

CRESTVIEW — New principal Lee Martello's people skills and scheduling capabilities will serve Laurel Hill School well despite the K-12 campus' challenges, Okaloosa County School District superintendent Mary Beth Jackson said.
"People need to understand the uniqueness of a school like Laurel Hill," she said. "It is very, very difficult to figure out how to make all the little blocks fit together and run three different schools, because that's basically what you're doing."
Martello has the business sense, multitasking and communication skills necessary for the job, Jackson said.
"She has worked at elementary, middle school and high school (levels)," the superintendent said. "She has a very clear picture of what it takes to be an administrator in those three levels ... and she's a master scheduler, which is a great skill and a very rare skill.
"Lee is a very student-centered. She loves children. She likes kids ... It's difficult to be able to switch gears and go from speaking to 12th-graders and talking to a kindergartner, but I think Lee has those people skills to be able to do that."
Martello, a Crestview resident, has served nine years as an Okaloosa Schools assistant principal — first at Richbourg Middle, and most recently at Shoal River Middle. She fills a position held by Susan Lowery-Sexton, who will serve as a psychologist for north county schools.
The school board confirmed Martello's appointment — one of several personnel changes within the district — at its June 10 meeting.
"Sometimes, I think, it's good for principals to change schools or do different things because you kind of get in a rut. It's good for the faculty and the students to have a new face and a new challenge and some new ideas," Jackson said.
In December, the Florida Department of Education gave Laurel Hill School a C using the state accountability system.
Academic performance raised concerns, the superintendent said.
"I'm not real happy with their current test scores," she said.
Martello's advancement represents support for her past efforts, including developing a program that boosted student enthusiasm for literature; separating boys and girls in gender-specific classes to aid concentration; and establishing Shoal River's Mustang Learning Community.
Meanwhile, Lowery-Sexton fills a long vacant position, Jackson said.
"School psychologists are a little tough to find ... she's very good at that job," Jackson said.
Martello did not immediately return a phone call for this article.

Which One Is Snooki? Meatball Mama Finds a Very Convincing Lookalike (PHOTO)
Snooki tried to play a little photographic twin trickery on us once before, but this time, there's a real life Snookalike running around!
Yessir, a fan by the name of Kelsey tweeted a picture of herself dressed like the Jersey Shore meatball with all the trimmings — nerdy glasses frames, bun hair, a neck scarf and a tattoo – and added Snooks' signature duck face to boot!
"Okay, crap. Maybe I do look a little like @snooki #pointunproven," this Kelsey girl admitted.
All Snooks could say about the emergence of her true doppelganger was, "Sh--." Well put, Snooks. Well put.

Cody Keith's perfect night keyed a 24-5 run down the stretch Saturday night that propelled Carroll County to a 66-48 victory over Salem and its first regional championship since 1980. The victory earns the Cavaliers a spot in the state quarterfinals against E.C. Glass of Lynchburg on Saturday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m. in the Salem Civic Center.
Keith netted all nine of his field goals attempts and all four of his free throws for a game-high 22 points. The 6-2 junior did most of his damage in the late going, scoring 14 points in the final 11 minutes of play. He also led the Cavaliers with six rebounds.
"Cody played great," said Carroll Head Coach Brad Hawks. "The kid came straight from the ninth-grade program to the varsity last year. Once he learns how to play, he's going to be a really good player."
With the score tied at 36-36 with 2:51 left in the third quarter, Keith began working the baseline and Carroll guards Gunnar Beamer and Ryan Gravley got him the ball for four layups during that stretch. Salem did manage to take a 43-42 lead, their first since 14-12, with 47 seconds left in the third quarter, but Keith scored underneath and, following a Spartan miss, Gravley scored on a driving layup to put the Cavaliers up 46-43 heading into the fourth quarter.
When Salem opened the fourth quarter in a zone, Carroll went to a version of the four corners to draw the Spartans into a man-to-man. Once Salem switched to a man-to-man, Carroll took charge.
"(Salem) had us scouted real well. I will give them a lot of credit," said Hawks. "They were calling our plays before we could call them. The fourth quarter, there is no trickiness to it. You just do what you do, and I will take Ryan and Gunnar as far as beating other people's guards, beating them to middle. The back defenders have to pick their poison. They stepped up and guarded our guards and that is how Cody got loose."
"Up and down is the way we like to play. I thought the kids did a really good job of keeping their poise. I think I can say our kids never gave up. They had a lot of fight and never gave up," noted Hawks.
With time running out, Salem was forced to foul and Carroll was up to the challenge. Ten of the Cavaliers' 14 points in the next two minutes came at the free throw line, giving them a 62-46 lead with just under two minutes to play.
Carroll was also getting the job done on the defensive end, holding Salem scoreless from the field in the fourth quarter.
"(Defense) has been our bread and butter all year long," said Hawks, whose team committed just eight turnovers in the game, while forcing Salem into 22 miscues.
"This type of game really help us. There's been three or four times we've been trailing in the fourth quarter this season," added Hawks, whose team has now tied the best record in school history at 24-2.
He said that having played a regular season game in the Salem Civic Center during the regular season should also be a positive factor in state play. The Cavaliers suffered one of their losses there, losing to private-school powerhouse Virginia Episcopal.
"I think that will help us, just being in that atmosphere and playing the caliber of team we played there. I definitely think that will help us in the long run," said Hawks.
Gravley and Beamer backed Keith's inside play with 15 and 11 points, respectively, while Trey Mann had 14 points and John Repass 11 for Salem.

Summer is the time for outdoor fun and relaxing vacations.
Just a short drive from the Capital District and most points in NY
and NJ, a visit to Garnet Hill takes you to another world - a world
of relaxation and immersion in nature. Once you arrive Garnet
Hill, you can put your car keys and cell phones down and get away
for a while to the things in your life that are truly important -
family and/or friends. Without leaving our campus you can hike, swim, boat, fish, ride mountain bikes, play tennis or
just relax and read a book by yourself or with those special people
you love and enjoy.
The cross country ski trails, old roads, and single track bike trails combine for a great variety of Mountain Bike adventures at Garnet Hill in the Adirondacks of New York. The novice ski trails are novice bicycle trails, and the expert ski trails become expert only mountain bike trails.
Beginner Mountain Biking Rides - The easiest riding for beginners is on the roads in the area - Old Farm Road, 4-H Road, Harvey Road, and 13th Lake Road. The Old Faithful Trail connects the 4-H Rd. and Harvey Rd and makes a nice beginner loop.
Intermediate bike rides are found on Trapper, Cougar, and Sugarhouse Trails. These trails also lead to Mt. View Trail, Apple Way and The North Acres Farm. There are great mountain views here and you can see the new llamas at the farm.

TREK - They make the best bikes, that is why we rent them here!
The Lake - Swimming, Canoeing, Boats
Thirteenth Lake is a wild and beautiful clear wilderness lake. Except for our beach, there is no other evidence of
human activity. The beach is sandy with a gradual decline into deeper water. There is a roped off shallow area, and a swimming raft anchored a short distance off shore. Relaxing on the beach and swimming in the cool lake water can be the highlight of any summer vacation.
Garnet Hill also has a fleet of water craft available to guests. Canoes, rowboats, and kayaks can be used to explore the lake or to just have fun. At the head of the lake it is not unusual to see beaver or otter swimming, loons, ducks, and other wildlife.
Local outfitters also rent sea kayaks, and provide instruction on whitewater kayaking, canoeing, and offer guided river trips on the Hudson river and through out the Adirondacks. Beaver Brook Outfiters 888-454-8433 rents and sells canoes and kayaks for a great lower Hudson river trip near Thurman (40 min. away) Lake George Kayak Company - Rents and sellscanoes and kayaks on Lake George.

Hiking in the Adirondack Mountains of New York
Choose from an all day climb topping out a 4000 ft. high peak, a leisurely walk in the woods, or a fishing adventure-hike to a remote pond. Garnet Hill is the ideal jumping off point for outdoor Adirondack hiking fun. At right the view from Peaked Mt.
Right outside the door, guests can begin hikes
and trail runs to nearby William Blake Pond, Balm of Gilead Mountain, and trails into the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area. Rising right out of Thirteenth Lake are "The Garnet Hills" - Ruby, Peaked, Slide, Little Thirteenth, and Hour Pond mountains. These trails and hikes are described in the Garnet Hill Lodge Hiking Guide and also by Barbara McMartin in her guidebook, Discovering the Adirondacks. (available at the lodge).
A short drive (40min.) to the state trailhead at Tawahus can access trails into the Adirondack High Peaks area. The High Peaks is 50 square miles of mountain wilderness and world class hiking adventures. Hikers can access trails to Mt. Marcy, Algonquin, Mt. Colden, and other mountains in the area. Also in the High Peaks Area is the former great camp Santanoni. The old road leading into the camp is a great walk or mountain bike ride. There is also horse and wagon trips into Santanoni.
Also near Garnet Hill are great hikes to Blue, Snowy, Crane, and Chimney mountains. Hikers climbing Chimney are rewarded not only with a great summit view, but also an opportunity to explore a network of ice caves located near the summit. Even during August there is ice in the caves.
There is also a hiking guide available at the lodge describing some local hikes and driving directions to some trailhead locations in the area (Click here for a sample description of hiking in the area). For additional hiking and trails information link to Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK), or
NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation.

Fishing Adventures
The warm April sun that melts the mountain snow also frees the lakes, ponds, streams and rivers of last winter's accumulated ice. Trout and salmon increase their activity as waters warm and fishermen head out to the local lakes, ponds, and streams. There is no finer excitement than a journey through the wilderness in search of a secret fishing spot and wild mountain brook trout. Even returning empty handed leaves one with the satisfaction of a day spent in the forest among streams and ponds as wild as they were 100 years ago. At right fishing 13th Brook.
Ice-out on 13th lake is usually mid April. The lake has brook and brown trout, and landlocked salmon. Rowboats and canoes are available to rent at the lodge. We also have cached other boats in some remote ponds of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area.
Not to be overlooked are countless miles of streams, brooks, and rivers, all with good fishing. Probably the most underfished area is the remote and rugged Hudson river gorge. This is the stretch of river popularized by whitewater rafting. It is true wilderness with no easy access, but the rewards are a fisherman's dream: brook, brown, and rainbow trout to three pounds and more. For guided fishing trips in the area ckeck out Beaver Brook Outfitters web site. or Jamie Frasier's Adirondack Mountain and Stream Guide Service or
NYS Dept. Environmental Conservation.
Fishing Season - April 1 - November 30th. License required - available locally or by mail from: NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation, 50 Wolf Road, Albany, NY
NYS Dept. Environmental Conservation . 5HP limit on boat motors on 13th Lake. Important: From mid May to Mid June the Adirondack black fly (a small biting insect) makes its appearance. Insect repellent does a fair job of discouraging them, but they can be very annoying especially to first time guests.
Back to the top
Nature Study and Ecology
It is always a thrill to observe wild animals. A deer along the side of the road, or a raccoon rifling through garbage Visitors on the Front Lawn at Garnet Hill in the Adirondacks cans, still evokes a sense of excitement. Visiting the wilderness of the Adirondacks gives one the opportunity to see first hand the wonder of wild things and perhaps understand the events of their lives.
Garnet Hill's 600 acres of land and our location next to a vast wilderness area in the Adirondack Park provides a dynamic window into the magic life of nature. We're an ideal place to learn more about the ecology and interrelationships of plants and animals in the area. We maintain a self-guided nature trail, with a guidebook to interpret wildlife signs and the natural scene along the trail. You can learn tree, plant, and bird identification, stream, lake and forest ecology, and the relationships of animals, plants, and man with the environment. Seeing with a naturalist's perspective will make you aware of the world around you and the inexorable bond tonature. Other interpretive nature programs are available at The
Adirondack Park Visitor Interpretive Center in Newcomb link or call (518) 582-2000. Or the new Wild Center in Tupper Lake 518-359-7800.
The Adirondacks has a rich variety of birdlife. Shore and water birds inhabit the lakes and wetlands, the hardwood forest is home to many beautiful songbirds. Birding walks are conducted at the lodge in conjunction with some programs, and at other times. In addition, we do sell and lend guidebooks to help guests identify some of the more common bird species found in the area.
Birding Links for NY.

Garnet Hill maintains two tennis courts for use by guests and vacation home renters. There is a sign-up sheet posted near the entrance. In addition there are two tennis courts available in the village of North Creek. A basketball court is also available near the tennis court

The Letter Link Crabs are great! I was looking for something that would teach my daughter her capital and lowercase letters. These have the capital letter on one side and the lowercase letter on the otherside. The best part is that they do not get lost because we keep them in the bathtub.

Fact is, half of the 500,000 children in the foster care system nationwide are 12 or older and they need homes, help, and love just as much as younger kids – maybe more, because they've been waiting so much longer.
With 130,000 children entering the foster care system each year – many of them 12 or older – KidsPeace is calling on those with room in their homes and in their hearts to consider taking in an older foster child.

Packing up their WaveRunners and slathering on the sunscreen,
It was Asher's high school graduation from
"He's been working his butt off all summer," Bob said of his 18-year-old son. "He finally said to me, 'Dad, when can I have a summer vacation?' He had already missed our trip to the
"This is payback," Asher interjected.
Seeing as Asher will be studying electrical engineering at
The only thing left to decide was where they were going.
"We sat down on Sunday with a two-by-four whiteboard and wrote down all of our ideas," Bob recalled.
Asher, who has already traveled to
"Then I said, 'Wait a minute, we have two, brand new jet skis,' " Bob said of their brainstorming session. "We have lots of toys, one thing you don't always have is time. This is our time"
And like that, they made plans for the Keys.
The itinerary is to go as far as the gas will take them, which is about 90 miles, where they will set up camp and continue their trek south.
"These things go 75 mph, but we're not that much in a rush," Bob said. "The gas situation will dictate our trip."
Voted Most Outgoing at Rocky Bayou as well as a five-sport athlete, Asher wasn't about to take a run-of-the-mill vacation. He's just lucky to have a parent that would rise to the occasion, he said.
"My dad's awesome," he said with a smile. "When I told all of my friends about the trip, they all said I was crazy, but then they asked 'Can I come?' "
Loaded up with almost every piece of camping equipment you can imagine and a GPS receiver, the duo plan to catch dinner and set up camp where they can during their two-week trip — although they do have a bag of beef jerky and ready-to-eat meals just in case. Surviving on the open road, or water rather, will only strengthen the father-son bond, Bob said.
"I wanted to see how we can further our relationship — we'll see a lot we haven't see before," he said with a laugh.
They won't be completely roughing it, however. Packed on Bob's WaveRunner is a duffel bag carrying a laptop, iPad, and iPhones. Asher even has a GoPro camera on his handlebar, ready to record.
"I hope these bags are waterproof," Bob joked.
While most 18-year-olds would rather party with friends, Asher said he's looking forward to spending quality time with his father. Bob even believes that the fancy watch he received for Father's Day, complete with barometer and compass, was a sign that Asher was looking for an adventure.
"This is the only time I've gotten to do anything with my dad alone," Asher said.
Back on the docks by
Mom and wife Pamela Bechtold said she'll be crossing a few things of her honey-do list with the boys away.
"The first thing I'm going to do is pray," she said. "Then I'm going to get some things done around the house. I've got a lot of surprises."
Asher and 15-year-old Ryia are the youngest of six kids in the Bechtold household, and the last ones left living at home.
"You only have them for so long, to think 'I wish' or 'Maybe I should have...' Why not just do it now," said Pamela. "You only live once."
Unlike most siblings, Ryia isn't bitter of Asher's special trip.
"I really look up to him, he's one of my role models," she said.
However, in two years, it'll be Ryia's turn to pack her bags in between high school graduation and her first semester in college. She's already planning on a trip to
"I'm a big One Direction fan," she said with a smile.
After a prayer with Asher's youth pastor, Wayne Brown of Grace Lutheran Church in Destin, hugs, kisses, "I love yous" and a few tears — the men snap their safety vests tight and start their engines.
"Are you ready young man?" Bob asks Asher.
And with two quick blows on a bright orange whistle from Bob, the men head out.
Where are they now?
On their first day, Bob and Asher made it 130 miles before they set up camp in the sand. As of Thursday morning, the father and son duo are in Steinhatchee and headed to

Share your tales of Live Metal Mayhem!
I just got home from an Iron Mask concert at Hasselt. Quite a lot of stuff happened, so I thought I'd post it here. There were two bands and they'd play from 19 30 to 22 00. My last train back was at 22 22 so I knew it was going to be close, but in the end decided to go anyway. I had spent the night in a station before to see this band, but back then it was unavoidable (leaving early would have meant I would miss the likes of Gamma Ray, Edguy, Rage, Hammerfall, Europe...)
My train arrived at 17 45 at the right track. There was no communication, the train guy was nowhere to be seen, the people in my vicinity I asked were as clueless as I was, so I got on the train. Turns out this was a different train, one that arrived on the same track without announcement one minute earlier.
I got out immediately and took the first train back. In the short time I'd been gone, the info signs I needed to plot a new course had been taken down. Luckily this time a train guy did show himself.
Arriving in Hasselt Station, I suddenly heard screaming as I was coming down the escalator. Around the corner, I thought I saw someone fall and a girl was screaming STOP IT STOP IT hysterically. A fight, thus. I looked around and saw a train woman was already calling the cops, so I didn't interfere. When I left the station a short time later, I saw a guy outside with a bleeding head and blood all the way down to his elbow.
I found the place easily. Luckily, Iron Mask was the second band to play and despite being late for the first band I wouldn't miss anything. It was a really intimate gig, with less than a hundred people, but no less fun for it. The gig was good, so of course they exceeded their time. I really had to watch the clock, and at 22:13 I decided to leave. No idea if they played another song after I left, but they had already said it was over twice so I guess I didn't miss too much.
I had to literally sprint back to the station to get back in time and people were throwing me weird looks.
I cheered when I made it in time, and if looks could kill the train guy had turned me to ash on the spot. As I sat down I realized I was in the wrong train! So I ran to the right track and again made it, only just in time.
At one of the first stops, the train had a 15 minute delay. This was to ensure passengers from another train could get onto it. The train guy told me the train I had to get on probably wouldn't wait for me.
I made it, again right on time, onto the train that'd take me home. Just as I reached my bike, a storm hit. I'm talking about the kind of storm that hits after 5 days of sunny weather. I decided to wait it out because getting electrocuted would be a rather shocking end to my day.
As I stood waiting, a shirtless guy suddenly sprinted by. Apparently he was getting to his car, but I had no idea why he was shirtless in the middle of a storm. Really weird.
It just kept pouring, so I decided to brave the rain anyway.
I was going as fast as I could because it was raining, and it was also freaking dark. A guy riding on the wrong side of the road almost crashed into me. By that time I was fed up and not so politely informed him he should be riding on the other side of the road. I once got a fine for that myself, but at least I was making sure not to crash into someone. For a second I thought he was coming after me, but apparently he wasn't.
My street is pitch black at night, so I drove straight into a fresh hole in the street, luckily I'm awesome and managed to avoid a fall.
Coming home rarely felt so good.
All in all, a great day out, although I do feel kinda bad for the guy who got beat up, regardless of how or why it happened.

Your first love, your first kiss and your first relationship are all memorable things that you can look back and reminisce and giggle about with friends. But how easy is it to talk about with our children? Thanks to changes in technology and popular social media sites, dating today is a whole different ball game.
To make sure your children are following the right path and making good choices, sit down and talk with them and follow the tips below to ensure an easier conversation.
Take it seriously.
"These are their first relationships, and so they fall hard," said Rosalind Wiseman, an educator and author of Queen Bees and Wannabes. It's important not to dismiss your child's relationships just because he or she is a teenager. What your child learns now will set the stage for healthy relationships in the future.
Use the media.
Talking to your child about celebrity relationships like Rihanna and Chris Brown can be great teachable moments, according to Dr. Jeff Gardere, assistant professor at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Manhattan and creator of the Healthy Divorce app. TV shows, movies and YouTube videos can all be used as a sounding board to talk about what healthy and unhealthy relationship look like – without it turning into another lecture.
Set the rules together.
Although you already know what the rules will be about dating, curfews, parties and driving, it's important to negotiate them together. So if your teen wants a 10 p.m. curfew, start at 8:30 p.m. and slowly increase the time when your child proves he or she can take on more responsibility.
Teach appropriate social media behavior.
So how can you make sure your kid isn't sexting his or her latest crush? You can't, according to Wiseman. So aside from confiscating cell phones, talk with your kid about what your family's values are when it comes to technology in the hopes that he or she will make the right decision.
Lead by example.
Experts agree that the way you and your spouse treat each other strongly influences your kid's relationship choices and how they will treat significant others in the future.
Face the truth.
The biggest obstacle parents have when dealing with dating is admitting that their child could be in a messy situation—as a target, victim, bystander or perpetrator, Wiseman said. Acknowledging this reality will allow you to keep the lines of conversation open and prepare your kid to respect and be respected.

I was researching buying MREs and found MREinfo, looks like a really good resource on what to buy and what to avoid. The French RCIR looks yummy, better than stuff I eat on a daily basis.
I was researching buying MREs and found MREinfo, looks like a really good resource on what to buy and what to avoid. The French RCIR looks yummy, better than stuff I eat on a daily basis.
best way to obtain them is from National Guardsmen in your area. Apparently when they go on their weekends in the field or 2-week drills, they must buy MRE's (meaning they lose their comrats pay during that time). When they get back, they usually have left overs - like cases sometimes.
Best part about this method is:
1. they are "fresh"
2. don't have to worry about shipping
Unless something has drastically changed, when you're and enlisted person on Uncle Sams time, he picks up the tab for your food (lunch on weekend drills and the whole 3 meal a day thing on Annual Training).
Officers are given a load more pay, but they are expected to buy their own meals/uniforms/etc.
I happened upon a couple of the Military issue MRE meals last week. Our friends who are still without power came over and I cooked them up a hot meal out back on the pit. They gave us two MRE packs they stood in line to get. I put them with the ammo stores.
Some day we will have two meals if need be while loading up some clips in the ammo room.

Incorrect. Depending on the state, you may still be charged. When I went to AT this year, I had (if I remember the price correctly) a $250 deduction on my LES. This was for rations. And Oklahoma was nice enough to reimburse me. However not every state may do this. I was shocked. However that was the first time since joining the Guard that I had done my AT at an Active Duty post.
Two Combat Tours
Criminal Justice Major.
15 years of shooting under the belt
Collection of both modern and antique handguns and rifles
My opinion, find something else to take the place of MRE's. I swear these things are not ment to be a "long" term option for food (two weeks max). It could just be me, but they make me feel like crap.
This was lunch everyday while deployed for Ike. We found other options.
If your in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
-someone importanat
MRE's are great... They beat the hell ot of the C-rations(or my wife's cooking) I was issued in 11B OSUT(basic & AIT) in '83. I still eat them often.
Check Ebay or your local pawn shop,especially if you live near a military post, you'll find them for around $50-$65 a case. Make sure you get both A & B cases.

IDPA: who does it?
I went to my first IDPA event today and had a blast!!
I used the 92FS mainly and then for one round I used the i8040 cougar. My shots took just as long as with the cougar as I did with the 92fs.
One of my 10 round mags on the 92fs was faulty; maybe the spring was put in backwards. The round would bind inside the magazine. It jammed every other round in one of the stages, destroying my chance of winning the novice group. So I used the rest of the day to try different things and learn as fast as possible.
Things I learned: go faster. The competition rewards speed, not as much accuracy. (I only had 1 stage where I missed shots) I also need to be more decisive with reloads, practice reloads, and not be afraid to run out of ammo before doing reloads; if I lose count, often I didn't actually need to reload, and a slide-lock reload is faster since I don't have to retain mag.
(this is the round with the cougar)
So, anyone else do IDPA?

I have shot IDPA a long time ago, I now stick to USPSA and some steel challenge matches. I just do not like the IDPA ruleset(I like running my Limited racegun). Its a good time all around. The best matches to shoot, |IMO, are the ones with a loose set of rules that are more for fun.

Been shooting IDPA for about 5 years now and love it. Cool thing is you can shoot it in your EDC gear and still make a go of it, shoot for fun, shoot fairly competitively or whatever you like. I hear we have some US shooters coming over for our Africa Champs this year which is great for us. Always good to have new guys pushing us to be better!

A bomb threat was reported at Googles Berkeley County facility on Thursday.
The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office, with the assistance of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office, were on scene at the Google data facility off U.S.-52 most of the day after the bomb threat was reported at 8:39 a.m. Thursday morning.
Deputies methodically searched the large buildings. After each building was cleared, employees are allowed back in. This operation was completed by about 4 p.m. and the company was able to resume normal operations.
There was nothing to it, BCSO Spokesman Dan Moon said. We didnt locate anything. The search came up clear. We allowed everybody to go back into the building and resume business.
Somebody found a note in a port-o-let out there. Thats how it got started. They called us. We responded. We requested the assistance of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office bomb squad. We spent a good bit of the day out there evacuating every building.

MerleFest kicks off its 26th year today. This year's festival will pay tribute to the late bluegrass and folk music legend, Doc Watson.
The festival is named after Watson's son Merle. Doc Watson, who died in May 2012, who has performed at every festival since its beginnings in 1986.
The annual bluegrass and folk music festival takes place from April 25 through April 28 and will feature performances from over 90 artists on 14 stages.
"For those wanting an affordable weekend getaway, MerleFest provides a true value to its customers," said festival director Ted Hagaman. "The admission prices are extremely reasonable - especially considering that we feature over 90 artists on 14 stages. Also, there are no hidden charges.
"We provide free parking, a free shuttle that will deliver you to the entrance, a free program guide as you enter, and all children 12 and under are admitted free with a paid adult," Hagaman continued. "In addition, our Little Pickers Family Area for children offers each child the opportunity to make crafts and participate in several interactive exhibits – all free of charge."
Acts to look for
Thursday's highlighted performances include The Charlie Daniels Band, Leon Russell, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, Dehlia Low, Red Molly, The Greencards and Enter the Haggis.
Friday's highlighted performances include Gov't Mule, The Del McCoury Band and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Steep Canyon Rangers, Delta Rae, Donna the Buffalo, Jim Lauderdale Scythian and The Waybacks.
Saturday will feature legends like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, John Cowan, The Kruger Brothers and David Holt.
Sunday brings The Avett Brothers, Nashville Bluegrass Band, Jim Avett, South Carolina Broadcasters, Jack Lawrence and Tift Merritt.
Special performances
MerleFest has several signature performances and contests that it brings back each year. The first event of the year will be the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest on Friday. Jim Lauderdale is a judge for the event and the winners will perform the winning entries on the Cabin Stage that night.
The Doc Watson Guitar Championship is also held on Friday and will be judged by Peter Rowan, Owe Kruger and last year's winner Benjamin Cockman.
The Merle Watson Bluegrass Banjo Contest is held on Friday and will be judged by Pete Wernick, Steve Lewis, Blind Boy Paxton and last year's winner Brandon Green.
The Hillside Album Hour will return for its sixth year. This event is hosted by The Waybacks and surprise guests and is shrouded in secrecy every year.
The Waybacks host a Facebook page and post periodic clues as to what the mystery album might be but nothing is revealed until the first note floats across the Hillside audience.
This year Saturday's premiere event will be the Celebration Jam that evening. The jam will be hosted by Sam Bush and will feature Jeff Little, T. Michael Coleman, Jack Lawrence, Bryan Sutton and David Holt playing Doc's favorites tunes and sharing their Doc stories with the audience.
Another large annual event is the Midnight Jam at midnight on Saturday. This event is a separated ticketed event and will take place in the Walker Center. This year it is hosted by Scythian with special guests The Waybacks, Donna the Buffalo, John Cowan, Jim Lauderdale, The Black Lillies, The Honeycutters, Pokey LaFarge and many more.
Outside the music
The festival also offers a large merchandise tent called the MerleFest Mall, where attendees can purchase music from their favorite artists of the weekend and grab a t-shirt or hat.
For a more extensive shopping experience attendees can peruse the Shoppes at MerleFest where there are demonstrating artisans, jewelry, clothing and shoes, art and photography, house wares, instruments and more.
There is a special family dedicated area called Little Pickers where children can take in free arts and crafts activities, entertainment and special kid friendly performances.
Want to go?
Tickets are still available for purchase and can be picked up at the gates starting Thursday at 2:30 p.m. and Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 9 a.m.

In public schools, regular homework generally begins by fifth or sixth grade, though short assignments may be given much earlier. Children under ten will usually need the most encouragement; you may have to help them get started, remind them of their study time, and check lessons after they're completed. Provide them with healthy snacks and a quiet place to work, but don't banish them to a deserted corner of the house. Let your child get started, and wait until they ask for your help. Avoid the temptation to do the actual work; in the long run, this only hurts them. However, if your child repeatedly struggles with a subject, and simply can't finish it, consult his or her teacher. There may be an underlying problem that needs corrected, or they may require special help from a tutor. When looking over your child's work, be diplomatic. Remember that children will be even more sensitive to criticism from a parent, than from their teacher. With very young children, don't worry about misspelled words in the homework. It's usually better to overlook minor mistakes, focusing instead on their accomplishments. Later, as the complexity of their homework increases, you can gently point out corrections in spelling or grammar.
