There is no cost for the day trip on August 28th from Myrtle Beach to the WWII Memorial in D.C.
With the median age of living WWII veterans now at 92, there is growing concern about the future of the national program known as Honor Flight. "Time is of the essence…that's our slogan" said Walter Kollet, Chairman of Honor Flight Myrtle Beach. Honor Flight is a non-profit organization with "hubs" located throughout the U.S. Their mission is to provide no cost trips to Washington, D.C. for WWII veterans. While in D.C. the veterans are escorted to the WWII Memorial located on the National Mall, often referred to as the Jewel of the National Mall.
Honor Flight Myrtle Beach is one of 4 hubs still flying in South Carolina. "We've organized 5 flights since 2010" said Kollet. "August 28th will be our 6th flight and we continue our mission to locate WWII veterans. It's a privilege to escort these men and women to their WWII Memorial. We've taken 464 veterans so far", he added.
The Myrtle Beach departure will be a day trip on a chartered plane capable of carrying up to 90 WWII veterans plus a medical team for the veterans' safety. In addition, many "guardians" accompany the veterans on the flight. "Guardian sponsors are crucial to the program" said Kollet. "They make a donation to fly with the veterans and look after their needs. We travel with plenty of wheelchairs so veterans can get around D.C. with comfort. The guardians assist the veterans as they all enjoy the sights. It's a memorable day for the guardians too" he added.
A full day is planned for August 28th. The Honor Flight will leave Myrtle Beach International Airport shortly after sunrise and will return just before sundown. Previous flights have returned to the airport with hundreds of Grand Stranders waiting with cheers of appreciation for the veterans.
Bert Cassels founded the Myrtle Beach chapter of Honor Flight in early 2010. "The main goal is for WWII veterans to see their war memorial which was 60 years in the making. It was dedicated in 2004. It's magnificent. Now we are against the clock" said Cassels. "The majority of veterans can't get there on their own" he said.
Both Kollet and Cassels are veterans and understand the importance of this trip. "These senior veterans deserve this trip. We need to find them. Please help us locate them" Kollet urged. He went on to say how difficult it has become to locate WWII veterans who are both willing and physically able. Although each Honor Flight has support systems in place, many veterans dismiss the chance due to failing health. "Time is of the essence…we will do all within our power to help a veteran get on that plane" said Cassels.
The total cost of each Honor Flight is $60,000 and is paid for entirely by donations and fundraising events. Honor Flight Myrtle Beach is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. "We're losing our WWII veterans much too quickly. We want to fill this plane for August 28th" said Kollet. "Also those interested in being a guardian sponsor should contact us right away" he added.
The day trip will include a 2 hour visit to the WWII Memorial on the National Mall along with visits to the Korean, Vietnam and Iwo Jima Memorials. The day in D.C. will conclude at Arlington National Cemetery for the "Changing of the Guard".
Honor Flight organizers can be reached at (843)957-8212 or visit their web site at www.HonorFlightMyrtleBeach.com for information, flight applications or to make a secure on-line donation.

Joe Rogan: Ex-UFC champ Georges St. Pierre was making $5 million per fight
That's according to UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, who talked about the kind of bread "Rush" was baking as the promotion's reigning welterweight champion and uncrowned "king" of pay-per-view (PPV) buys before hanging up his gloves late last year.
"When you look at pay, there's a pay that's listed as far as the purse you get after the fight. That doesn't take into account a lot of factors. There's a lot of things they want to remain private. You're not just getting paid that amount. Some people are. But when a guy is selling tickets, a big name fighter, there's a lot of factors in there. Incentives, pieces of pay per view. Georges St. Pierre was making $5 million a fight. He's making a lot of fucking money. He's got sponsors, Gatorade, all this other stuff. Other revenue coming in. Georges St. Pierre made a fuck load of money fighting."

[Video] Draya Michele Talks Dating & Liking Men With Nice Shoes
Draya Michele is on the market!
Whether you love or hate her, it's hard to deny that Draya was the breakout star on the first season of Basketball Wives LA. And despite rumors that she would not be returning to the show, Draya is currently in the midst of filming the second season while promoting her new swimwear line Mint Swim.
We caught up with the PA native at a 100 Urban Entrepreneurs event a few weeks ago where she told us that she was single and ready to mingle. She also revealed the qualities that she looks for in a guy [If you can make her laugh and have nice shoes, you are good] while explaining that she has to approach men now because they are too intimidated by her reality show fame to come and talk to her.
Peep the impromptu interview below:
We're here at the 100 Urban Entrepreneurs Be Next Awards, were you inspired tonight?
I was definitely inspired. There were a lot of men in there. Some of them not married and working and that is very sexy.
So you're single?
I am single.
What do you look for in a man?
First thing in a man, he has to make me laugh. Then his teeth need to be nice and his shoes need to be nice. And I'm cool. If you can make me laugh and you got nice teeth, clean shoes…
What is it about nice shoes..
I think you can just tell where they've been and you can tell how they value things and what's important to them and what's not. I always put my shoes back in the box and kept them very neat. So I like a man to do the same thing. It just shows that he respects his things. And probably worked hard to buy them.
How has dating changed for you since you became famous?
Guys won't talk to me now. They're scared of me. No one wants to get my number anymore. Before, guys would flock to me and "Hey, whats your name, whats your number, what's up, can I take you out?" Now, they're very shy. And its like "please talk to me, get my number." I'm friendly, I'm nice, I'm sweet, I'm everything. They're intimidated I guess.
Do you have to approach guys?
Yea, I kind of choose my guy now. Instead of him choosing me and wanting to get my number, I choose him so I'm just like, "Hey you, you're cute. What's up?" And then I talk to him, I initiate the conversation.
Do you have a preference? Black, white …?
I like black guys, for the most part. I'll take a white guy tho, if he's nice.

For most high school students the two-week Christmas vacation is a time to relax, sleep in, spend time with friends and enjoy the holiday season with their families.
But for some area basketball teams they will be hard at work.
Despite it being Christmas week, some county high school hoop teams will be hitting the hardwood.
The highlight is this weekend at Chapmanville Regional High School as the Tigers are scheduled to host the annual Bob Runyon Memorial Tournament at the CRHS gym.
The first game is set for Friday as the homestanding Tigers (1-3) are slated to take on county rival Man (1-2) around 8:30 p.m. The opener at 6 p.m. pits the "two View's" against each other — Mount View (2-0) and Pikeview (0-2).
The winners of the two games are scheduled to play in the championship game on Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. The two losers meet in the consolation game at 6 p.m.
Man and Chapmanville are then slated to play each other again on Jan. 2 at Man in the second of three scheduled meetings this season.
The Tigers lost a low-scoring affair, 32-29, last Friday night at home against Poca. Man's game on Saturday night at home against Fayetteville was postponed.
The Chapmanville Regional girls also have holiday hoop action on Thursday as the Lady Tigers (4-2) are slated to travel to the Charleston Catholic Athletic Complex to take on Keyser at 3 p.m. in the Capital City Classic. Chapmanville's game last Friday against Nicholas County at the Hoops Classic was cancelled due to snowy weather.
The Logan High School boys are also set to play this week as the Wildcats host Class AAA team George Washington on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Logan's Willie Akers Arena. Logan is 2-3 heading into the game after last Saturday night's 51-37 win over St. Albans in the George Washington Holiday Tournament.
The Man High School girls' basketball team is scheduled to host Wahama on Friday night. The Lady Billies (3-2) rolled last week over Beckley Christian, 66-24, on the road.
One team — the Logan girls — are not scheduled to play any games over Christmas break. The Lady Cats (4-2) are slated to host Class AAA No. 1 Morgantown on Friday, Jan. 4.

The Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense offer a variety of insurance policies designed to provide service members and veterans with benefits that they may not be able to receive from private entities, given the risk involved in military service. For the VA-administered programs listed below, the service member is automatically enrolled and covered at the maximum amount unless the member opts to decline coverage or chooses a reduced coverage amount. For the DoD-administered programs, service members are also automatically enrolled, but coverage amounts vary based on selected base amounts for the program. Surviving family members are encouraged to speak with their casualty assistance officer to determine the benefit level.
With this life insurance program service members pay premiums from their monthly income. It is a low-cost term life insurance protection policy for members of the uniformed services payable in a non-taxable payment. The typical payout upon death is $400,000, but the amount (and subsequent cost) could differ if the service member requested a lesser amount of life insurance or declined coverage in writing. When in active duty or ready reserve status, the coverage amount for SGLI is automatically at the maximum amount. Payment is made to the beneficiaries designated in writing on the election form by the military member and is paid in the manner elected by the military member: either 36 equal payments or one lump sum. Payments are not taxable, to include interest from the time the payment is due until the time the payment is received.
Coverage is paid for through automatic deductions from the service member's pay. Service members not in active duty or ready reserve status can contact the VA to decline coverage or reduce the amount of coverage under SGLI. By declining SGLI, service members are also declining Traumatic Injury Protection Under Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance and Family Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance. Service members who decline or reduce their coverage amounts can reinstate or increase their coverage amounts at a later date, provided they are in good health at the time of the application. Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance does accrue interest at the standard/current government rate from the date of the service member's death through the date of disbursement. More information on the SGLI program, including cost and coverage levels, can be found on the VA's SGLI website.
When covered by SGLI, the TSGLI program automatically provides coverage for service members against traumatic injury resulting in certain severe loss. The benefit amount, which is non-taxable, varies depending on the type of loss sustained by the service member as a result of the traumatic injury.
The cost of TSGLI is automatically added to the premium cost for SGLI and is deducted from the service member's pay. The cost of the coverage varies depending on whether the service member is active duty/Reservist with full coverage, Reservist with part-time coverage, or a service member on funeral honors duty or one-day muster duty. More information on the TSGLI program, including costs and coverage amounts, can be found on the VA's TSGLI website.
Through this life insurance program, coverage is automatically provided to spouses and dependent children of service members covered by the SGLI program. Coverage amounts for FSGLI cannot exceed the coverage selected for the service member in SGLI.
Premiums for spouses vary depending on the age of the spouse and the amount of coverage selected. Coverage for dependent children is provided free of charge; however, it is not enough to cover the burial of a child, so the service member may want to consider purchasing additional insurance. Family Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance provides different levels of coverage for spouses (as selected by the service member) and a set coverage amount for each dependent child. More information, including current rates for spouse coverage, can be found on the VA's FSGLI website.
After a service member separates from the military, he or she can convert SGLI into VGLI to continue the term life insurance policy coverage but only at a coverage level equal to or less than the coverage level of SGLI at the time of separation. The VGLI pays beneficiaries a tax-exempt payment equal to the level selected by the veteran and must be renewed every five years.
Premiums associated with VGLI are based on the service member's age. More information, including current premium rates and coverage amounts, can be found on the VA's VGLI website.
Administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the SBP allows surviving family members to receive a portion of the service member's retired pay, even if the service member dies while on active duty. Every service member is automatically enrolled in the program at no cost. Income received from the SBP is taxable.
The SBP benefit amount varies depending on the amount of retired pay the service member selected on which to base SBP participation. This dollar amount is known as the base amount and can range from a portion of retired pay to full retired pay. The cost and amount of the benefit vary depending on which category of beneficiary is selected (spouse only, spouse and children, children only and insurable interest), as well as the base amount. More information on the SBP, including costs and amounts of benefits, can be found in the Retired Pay section of the DFAS website.
Similar to the SBP, the RCSBP is an annuity paid to surviving spouses and, in some instances, dependent children of Reserve Component service members who elected to enroll in the program, have died, and had completed the satisfactory years of service qualifying them for retirement pay. As with the SBP, surviving spouses and/or dependent children can receive a portion of the elected RCSBP annuity base amount. Income received from the RCSBP is subject to income tax. More information on the RCSBP can be found on the DFAS website.
Surviving spouses who are beneficiaries of the SBP annuity and whose SBP annuity is partially or fully offset by the VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation may be eligible for an additional allowance through the military. This is automatically paid by DFAS and does not require that surviving spouses apply for the allowance. More information on the SSIA can be found on the DFAS website.
The premiums and payout amounts for these insurance policies vary depending on the amount of coverage and types of beneficiaries selected. For SGLI, TSGLI and FSGLI, the cost of the premiums is automatically deducted from the service member's pay. For the SBP, the premium is paid through a reduction in the service member's retirement pay.

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
It is again obvious to me that the school boards like to act on their own and not really receive input on what they do.
I would like to commend Mr. Goodman for standing up against a fearful board that acts on impulse and obviously does not trust their children! Cameras in school buses? Cameras in schools? So, I ask who in this town wants to add a $50,000 expense on to an already robust budget? Let me see, a 50 cent bandana and a $5 hoodie will defeat your camera very easily.
Since you use the National Security Agency (NSA) and seem to support their actions, as an example, it becomes apparent to me you act on impulse and don't trust anyone (including your own children).You support wiretapping, computer surveillance, searching library records, etc. You don't really care if the majority of the residents in The Valley disagree with you, you still will do what you think is just.
I hate to tell you this; you are supposed to be serving the community not telling us how it is going to be. By the sounds of the article you think that schools should be like prisons! The students are guilty till proven innocent. I have to be frank, after reading how this board thinks, you disgust me.
It never fails, when someone gets a little bit of power, they think they can do whatever they want regardless of what the population thinks. What example is this board setting for the youth in this valley? I'll tell you – you are irresponsible, stupid, can't think for yourself and you need us to watch you all the time so you don't…. what?
Vandalism at schools happened even when you were students, or did you all live in perfect little towns? Then you use the defense if you're not doing anything wrong, what are you worried about? What kind of republic (USA) do you support? It is obvious you support a police state.
Why are you so afraid? How do freedoms vanish? It starts when small people want total control. I hate to tell you, you will never be totally safe. There have been other stores, organizations and banks that have put cameras up and as far as I know they see someone in the frame, but they can't identify anyone. So, for this board to act on a whim and, yes, it is a whim or should I say a lark, it's irrational spending of tax money and showing our youth you do not trust them.
The children of these board members should know that their parents do not trust their generation or maybe do not even trust their own children. You will never make a totally safe world and by destroying freedoms you do not deserve one for yourself or your children.
I have no time for these meetings (trust me, you do not want me to be there) and I try to trust the people in charge to make rational decisions and, yes, I understand this is a thankless job and I appreciate the work you do, but there is a supposed community you are serving and, in other words, it is not about you, it's about community, right? Again, I thank Mr. Goodman; it is good to know there is one rational person on this school board. Oh, and I like the rationale how the cameras "may deter some students." May? Sounds like solid reasoning to me. So, I for one say, yes, Mr. Raddock, you're wrong and wanting to gamble with $50,000 of a taxpayers' monies on an idea that may, again may, deter some students from being bad. This board needs to rethink the idea of cameras on buses and in the school. Again, it is good to know you trust your children; what kind of parents are you?

Football playoffs: Chapel Hill, Northwood join 7 automatic qualifiers
The N.C. High School Athletic Association on Saturday released the seedings and matchups for Friday's opening round of the state football playoffs in eight classifications and nine area teams made the field.
There was only one major surprise among area teams. Chapel Hill, which finished fifth in the eight-team Big Eight 3-A Conference, was rewarded for a 4-7 finish that included a series of heart-rending losses throughout the regular season.
The only other non-automatic qualifier (top three conference finishers all received automatic playoff bids) was 8-3 Northwood, also from the Big Eight. The Chargers finished fourth in conference play after a loss to Cardinal Gibbons in Raleigh Friday night, but made the 3-A field as almost all observers expected.
Northwood's only losses on the year were to the top three teams in the Big Eight, among the deepest and best 3-A conferences in the state.
Chapel Hill is the No. 15 seed in the 16-team East Region of the Class 3-AA playoffs and will travel to Big Eight champion Southern (9-2, 7-0) for an opening round game Friday night.
In addition to Southern and Chapel Hill, the Big Eight saw runner-up Orange (10-1, 6-1) named a No. 6 3-AA seed after being beaten by Southern for the league title on Friday night.
Northwood was named a No. 10 seed in the 3-A playoffs.
Orange will host an opening round game Friday night against No. 11 Rocky Mount (8-3), while Northwood will travel to No. 7 Eastern Alamance (8-3) on Friday.
In the 4-A ranks, PAC-6 4-A champion Hillside (8-2, 5-0 PAC-6) is a No. 5 seed and will host No. 12 Clayton (7-4) Friday in the 4-A playoffs. PAC-6 third-place finisher Northern (3-8, 3-2 PAC-6) is a 10 seed and will travel to Wilmington to meet No. 7 New Hanover (8-3).
The PAC-6 runner-up, Riverside (8-3, 4-1 PAC-6), was named a No. 7 seed in the 4-AA playoff field and will host No. 10 Hope Mills South View (8-3) on Friday.
In the 2-AA playoffs, South Granville (9-2) is a No. 4 seed and will host No. 13 Hertford County (6-5) on Friday.
Granville Central (7-4) is the area's lone 1-AA representative and the 7-4 Panthers, a 5 seed, will travel to No. 4 Princeton (8-3) on Friday.
While the state's high school football programs compete in four attendance classifications — 1-A/2-A/3-A/4-A — during the regular season and the playoff fields are comprised of 64 teams statewide from each of those classifications, each class is then broken into two 32-team fields for state title competition in football, an AA and A class.
The AA class is the 32 teams in a classification with the largest enrollments of the 64-team overall field in the class, the A class is the lowest enrollment of that group.
Carrboro (4-7) barely missed making the 2-A field after losing a lead and the state title on a last-minute touchdown a year ago and returning its best players, running back Trai Sharp and receiver/defensive back Marlin Johnson.
The Jags started 3-0 and appeared a lock for at least a playoff berth this season, if not more, but lost Sharp for the season to injury and Johnson to long stretches to injury and finished 1-7.
Still, one more win might well have gotten Carrboro into the playoff field.
In the 2-AA and 2-A fields, 16 teams with 5-6 records got in as well as a 3-8, 4-7 and 5-5 teams. The 3-8 and 4-7 teams got in on automatic bids with top three conference finishes.

Students can view their financial aid award status on the student portal.
What is your financial aid eligibility at Pomona
Use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your prospective financial aid eligibility at Pomona College.
*The Net Price Calculator is not an official Offer of Financial Aid from Pomona College and in no way constitutes a guarantee of a financial aid award, nor is completion of the Net Price Calculator an application for Financial Aid.
A Commitment to Need-Based Financial Aid
Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions which practice need-blind admissions and provide need-based financial aid. We actively encourage all qualified applicants to consider Pomona, regardless of whether they can afford the full cost of attending. Alumni and other donors continue to support the tradition of access and affordability with generous contributions to the endowment and current use funds which allow us to maintain our long-standing financial aid program. Any family who feels they may need help paying for a Pomona education is welcome to apply for aid. If admitted, applicants can be confident that their full financial need as determined by Pomona's aid office will be met.
Pomona's financial aid is awarded solely based on need; there are no merit scholarships. We consider an applicant's talents and achievements only in relation to admission. Academic and athletic merits are not considered when awarding aid. Need is determined through a careful review of each family's individual financial circumstances. Personal attention is given to every admitted student's aid application. We also take into account special circumstances, and use experience and judgment in determining aid awards. The full need of every admitted student is met for all four years, based on information that we receive from your family each year, through grants and a campus job. No student is required to take a loan to meet the cost of attending Pomona. Still, some families may consider loans to help finance the expected family contribution.
Prospective students applying for financial aid should refer to our Application Deadlines for a comprehensive list of required materials and deadlines. The FAFSA is a free form that determines eligibility for federal aid; the CSS Profile (a fee based application) helps us to determine eligibility for Pomona financial aid.

But 150 laid off at heating plant
Last updated at 13:10, Thursday, 06 December 2012
UP to 150 Sellafield contractors working on the off-site combined heat and power plant were laid off yesterday.
Sellafield Ltd terminated the contract of Worley Parsons Europe Ltd to provide an alternative steam supply to the nuclear site.
Worley Parsons is the main contractor and the laid-off workers include those employed by several sub-contract companies.
Sellafield Ltd said: "With other partners we will assess alternative arrangements to ensure the project is delivered safely and to maximum benefit for the taxpayer. Any employment issues are between the contractor, its subcontractors and their own staff."
The contract has been to build a new back up boiler system. An angry worker said: "It's a total shock. We were just told to go home because the project was mothballed, even though it was 85 per cent completed. We are disgusted by what's happened."

F-Bomb Airs Live During Super Bowl: Parents Group Is Furious, But Do You Care?
The Parents Television Council is always upset about something. Sometimes we think they make a good point, sometimes we think they're being oversensitive. You decide on this one.
The PTC is upset about the f-bomb that was dropped by Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco after the Baltimore Ravens won last night's game. "This is f--king awesome" the quaterback said, and it was aired live on CBS.
It's not a good thing to air f-bombs, but it's not surprising that an excited sports guy might not restrain himself to PG-13 language. But the PTC didn't blame Flacco, they blamed CBS for not following their "legal obligation to prevent profane language from being broadcast – especially during something as uniquely pervasive as the Super Bowl. The instance was aired live across the country, and before the FCC's designated 'Safe Harbor' time everywhere but along the East Coast."
As the PTC wrote (via Entertainment Weekly):
"Despite empty assurance after empty assurance from the broadcast networks that they would never air indecent material, especially during the Super Bowl, it has happened again. [...] Now nine years after the infamous Janet Jackson incident, the broadcast networks continue to have 'malfunctions' during the most-watched television event of the year, and enough is enough. After more than four years of inaction on broadcast decency enforcement, the FCC must step up to its legal obligation to enforce the law, or families will continue to be blindsided."
Do you agree that the FCC needs to crack down, so this doesn't turn into a slippery slope leading to more f-bombs and other inappropriate content, or are you in the "who cares?" camp?

When the Roman Empire changed its view of Christianity, from persecuting it as a *superstitio* to accepting that it was a *religio*, the Church acclaimed Constantine as an agent of God. He returned the favor by a steady increase of privileges for Catholics, until the Empire became a Christian preserve. Once the connection between Church and State was forged, however, it provoked a series of unintended consequences that included the Reformation. That process saw the emergence of a Protestant empire at odds with Catholic claimants to the mantle of Constantine.

Newsmakers 2013: War of 1812 bicentenniel brought history to lifeWritten by Frank Kuron | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's déjà vu all over again!" Yogi Berra famously said, and he was right, as names from dusty history books came to life across the region this past year, portrayed by re-enactors for thousands of attendees at numerous historical events. 2013 was the 200th anniversary of several epic conflicts of the War of 1812 that played out right here in our own backyards. It was 1813 all over again!
Here, in what was known as the Northwest Territory, 1813 began with American forces moving north into Frenchtown (now Monroe, Mich.) to drive out a contingent of British and Indian forces. In January 2013, the River Raisin Battlefield National Park honored those who fell in the confrontation that ensued, known as the River Raisin Massacre, with a march over the same route those Americans had taken 200 years earlier. Many other tributes, tactical demonstrations and lectures were also well-attended.
In May 1813, British military and Indian warriors joined as allies to attack Fort Meigs. They failed, and in July, they failed yet again. This historic rebuff was celebrated for three days in May 2013 as thousands of visitors witnessed something quite exceptional — the largest number of uniformed 1812 soldiers on the grounds since the actual conflict. Amid the smoke of cannon and musket fire, a memorial was dedicated to the Kentuckians who served in this battle. And, just down the road at Fort Miamis, the esteemed British 41st Regiment of Foot was acknowledged with the dedication of a historical marker. Artillery demonstrations, tours and period craftsmen made the weekend both entertaining and educational.
After their unsuccessful assault on Fort Meigs, the enemy traveled 40 miles east to attack tiny Fort Stephenson, in what is now Fremont. Expecting an easy victory, they were surprised when they encountered a handful of feisty Americans whom they could not defeat. This past August, the Fremont community commemorated this victory by raising a replica of the fort and drawing more than 10,000 people to its three-day history-oriented festival.
On Sept. 10, 1813, the Battle of Lake Erie concluded after three hours of shelling. The scene was replayed Sept. 2, 2013, in one of the most spectacular displays of tall ships witnessed on the Great Lakes since that day. More than 2,000 boats anchored on the lake to view 1,400 volunteers take on the personas of real participants and fight again on one of the 15 replica ships. History enthusiasts arrived weeks before and after the Labor Day re-enactment to view, tour and cruise on a ship that the Americans did not give up on that historic day.
With control of the lakes, the Americans had the upper hand and pursued the enemy into Canada, where on Oct. 5, 1813, the Battle of the Thames occurred. This fight marked the end of the war in the Northwest Territory as the British and Indians were soundly defeated. On Oct. 5, 2013, a re-enactment on the battleground near Chatham, Ontario, drew thousands of visitors.
The Toledo Museum of Art contributed to the 200th anniversary celebrations with a special exhibit, "Perry's Victory: The Battle of Lake Erie." Nearly 30,000 visitors viewed prized artwork depicting Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and the battle, as well as artifacts including one of only six known copies of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812.
The crowds that turned out to all these history-themed events is phenomenal, and shows there is a new hunger to learn about what happened right here during the formation of our country. Many of the historic sites in the region are open year-round and have annual memorials and celebrations. Check them out this coming year. And next time you see a statue or historical plaque, stop and read about that someone or someplace. Obviously, somebody believed it was important enough for you to take note.
"The future ain't what it used to be," said Yogi, but the past sure was present last year.

Push Fest to Host More than 30 Bands to Play for Three Days on Two Stages
Rumors have been confirmed that the First Annual Pushmataha Music Festival (Push Fest) will be held in the Kiamichi Mountains in Southeastern Oklahoma on October 12th through the 14th with more than 30 bands playing on two stages. This event will take place by Nashoba (about 10 miles away from Clayton).
Putting this event together are Susan and Paul LaVictorie of Oklahoma City. Even though the couple is based in Oklahoma City, they own land in Pushmataha county and travel down here quite often.
"We love Southeastern Oklahoma because of the topography and the remoteness," Susan LaVictorie, founder of Push Fest said. "We vacationed there for years and then purchased property ten years ago. We love music and we love to throw a party so it only made sense to invite the rest of the region out to have some fun!"
Push Fest's lineup includes popular acts like: Paul Thorn Band, Watermelon Slim, Ian Moore and the Lossy Coils, Kevin Welch, Kate Campbell, The Damn Quails, Uncle Lucius, Kyle Dillingham and Horseshoe Road, Saturday Sirens, Cadillac Jackson, The Giving Tree Band, Black Canyon, Sunny Side Up, Ike Lamb and The Creepers, The Suspects, Dead Weight, Joel Wilson and the Revival and many, many more!
In addition to some big-name bands, Push Fest has lined up some local favorite sponsors in the metro area, including Keep It Local Oklahoma, a program that offers customers discounts to local businesses when they show their Keep It Local card at the register, and COOP Aleworks, a craft beer brewery based in Oklahoma City and the exclusive beer vendor at Push Fest.
"This is a music lover's festival - and a musicians' festival," LaVictorie said. "Our festival is genre-free and offers something for every music lover- a great way to enjoy our weekend festival is to get together a group of friends and come out for a good time. "
Push Fest will use a portion of its proceeds to benefit the county of Pushmataha. Susan and her husband, Paul, plan to make the festival an annual event and to continue contributing to the county that hosts the festival.
"Our vision for Push Fest is to grow it to a certain point, then keep it a bit exclusive," LaVictorie said. "We hope to attract a bit of an older crowd than most of the camping and music festivals you see. We're grateful for our sponsors and as the festival grows, we hope to continue to increase our impact in the community for the betterment of the residents of Pushmataha County. And of course, keep having fun."
Tickets can be purchased online at www.pushfest.com [2] or at the gate. Advanced ticket prices are as follows: 3 day pass (primitive camping and access to both stages) $100.00. One day event pass (access to both stages, NO camping) $50.00. Tickets at the gate will be $125.00 for a 3 day pass and $65.00 for a 1 day pass.
Every person on the festival grounds, including the parking area, vending areas, camping areas and everywhere in between MUST have a valid Event Pass.
On Friday, October 12 - Gates open at 10:00 AM, with music starting at 7:00 PM on both stages. Plan to arrive early, set up your camp and enjoy the evening of music. Saturday, October 13 - Music on both stages beginning at 10:00 AM. Sunday, October 14 - Music on both stages from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. All vehicles must exit the festival grounds by 6:00 PM Sunday evening.
The festival was established by the Pushmataha Music Festival Foundation, or PMFF. PMFF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established to channel a generous portion of the proceeds back into the local community. The PMFF Foundation Board consists of residents of the county. They will help direct the funds toward nonprofit organizations in Pushmataha county.

Tiered Dot Print Top: A favorite silhouette now in a new print! Layer this sleeveless blouse under your favorite cardigan or wear it on its own.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.35 out of 20 votes cast
bigger is better
Loved the top but did go with the larger size and am so glad I did.
Dublin, Ohio
Polka Dot Print
I thought this top would compliment the slacks that I am wearing for a special occasion. Unfortunately it was quite snug and the tiers stuck out. I had a difficult time getting in and out of it.
Binghamton, NY
Please, please, PLEASE - learn from my mistake and listen to the other reviews on this item: IT RUNS AT LEAST ONE SIZE SMALL, especially if you're a bit on the busty side like me. The inner lining mashes my bust completely FLAT (no joke), which makes it extremely uncomfortable and almost impossible to get on and off. Because so many reviews said the same thing, I wish I had listened and ordered an XL, instead of the L that I ordered. This is clearly a manufacturing production problem, but now I have to pay to exchange it for a larger size. Having said that, I do love the colors (I got the Persimmon and the Caribbean) and if the larger size fits, I'll be very happy with this item.
Evanston, IL
Tiered Dot Print Top
I love it,the colors blend beautifully for my special occasion.
New York
Recommend or not
The blouse went well with my slacks I would recommend the store to everyone and suggest the blouse as well
Moorefield, Wv
The lining was quite snug, which seemed to make the tiers stick out funny. Also tough to get on and off. I was disappointed I had to send it back.
Walnut Creek, CA
Pretty and flattering
I bought this a while ago and wear it alot. Get tons of compliments as well. I am petite and don't find the dots overwhelming. It's whimisical and flattering. I have the brown combo and wear it with black or beige. It's great. Do not make this with a zipper or button, ladies just order the correct size
branford ct
Not for me!
I didn't realize how large the circles were. As a petite person, it didn't look good on me. I like the tiers but it was a little hard to get on and off. I wish they would make more cute tops with sleeves!This is being returned.
Boise, ID
Poor Quality
Top constructed poorly. The neckline and lining were very crooked. Also, this top will not work for full busted women. Definitely returning.
Minot ND
Great Blouse
I got many complements when I wore this for the first time. It washes well; needed no ironing. Size was as expected. the lining does feel a bit snug but it is not a deal breaker. I don't see a need for a back zipper or button opening at the neck. I'm happy!
On The Fence
I'm really not sure how I feel about this top. I have two other tops in this style - both are comfortable and fit nicely. But this one is odd fitting and I think it has to do with the lining. The lining feels snug without any give. I'm going to try it on again but I doubt I will find it worthy of my closet.
Colonia, NJ
great blouse
Im loving this blouse thinking about ordering second one in different color.
Debra Martin
st louis mo
Lovely Tier summer Top
I love this top, it's a great fit and I love the deep lilac colors. The tiers fall really well for a plus size top. The top of the blouse needs to have a larger opening maybe with a button to fasten it.
Spice Girl
Detroit, Michigan
This was the first time I was disappointed in an item from Chadwicks. It looked so cute and lovely in the catalog pictures, but in reality was a very cheap material, with a sort of lined texture to it that I didn't expect or like. The cut and fit of the tiers will only be flattering on someone built like the models - 6 feet tall weighing 90lbs. I am not tall, but I'm also not big or heavy, and this looked hideous on me.
Chicago, IL
I ordered 2 in spite of the bad reviews and I'm so glad I did! Perfect fit and they're gorgeous. No issues with getting it on....if you couldn't get it on, you didn't order the right size end of story. I have huge boobs so I ordered a large and it fits perfectly.
Arlington, VA
Pretty, but two problems
I really like the way this top looks, but I definitely agree that it needs a zipper or button opening because it is hard to get on and almost impossible to get off. The second problem I'm having is that the ruffles are hemmed with the raw-edge exposed underneath, so there are always loose threads popping out. I'm sure this will effect durability. Overall, I would not recommend this top.
Mt. Vernon, TX
Cute, but too big
I ordered the next size up based on reviews, and the top is too big! Now it's too late because I hate to spend the money to return/exchange it.
Murrieta, CA
"Happy Customer"
Very pretty top nice and summery. I agree with the 1st reviewer it does need a zipper or button opening. I decided to keep it because it's pretty.I ordered the carribean/blue color perfect with a pair of white or navy color blue jeans.

Too hard to get on
This top is cute and I would love to keep it, but putting it on and taking it off is darn near impossible. I'm a small and once I wiggled it over my shoulders and (not so big) chest it fit great. However, I needed my husband to help pull it over my head to get it off. There definitely needs to be a zipper in the side seam on this garment.

"Makes three hearty pizza crusts. This dough can also be used to make calzones or can be frozen for later use."

1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
1 tablespoon
white sugar
2 1/2 cups
warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 tablespoon
1/2 cup
whole wheat flour
5 1/2 cups
bread flour
I have not made this recipe yet, but while reading the reviews I noticed many people having trouble ending up with a soggy crust and overcooked toppings. To avoid this, you must work with a pizza stone and a pizza peel. Place the stone in your oven, preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Allow the pizza stone to heat for 30 minutes at this temperature. Meanwhile prepare your pizza on your floured pizza peel (be sure to give your pizza crust a little shake on the peel prior to putting on your toppings so that you can add more flour if necessary - doing this will ensure that it will slide off easily onto the stone ). Once you are sure your pizza will slide off easily, top it however you want and then slide it very carefully onto the stone in the oven. Heating the stone for 30 minutes prior to baking the pizza will ensure a thoroughly cooked crispy pizza crust. Watch your pizza very carefully as it will cook fast at this temperature.
I'm very disappointed by this recipe. Since it was featured in an Allrecipe's cookbook and had such high rating, I had to try it. I had no problem with the prep, rising, etc., but when we tasted it, it was more like wheat bread with pizza toppings. If you're looking for traditional pizza dough, this is not it. The consistency is like bread, not dough...maybe from the bread flour. Also, dough takes longer to cook than toppings and is puffy and soggy. I won't be making this again.

The dough is beautiful and tasty. I divided it into 3, and made a 16" pizza. But I think just dividing it in half for a pizza that size would be good too. It just depends if you like thinner or thicker crusts. After I rolled it out and let it rise for 10 or 15 minutes, I prebaked it for about 10 minutes at 350F. That helps keep the crust from getting soggy and you don't have to bake it so long with the toppings, which can easily burn at 425F.
I woke up this morning with the first thing on my mind being RATE THIS DOUGH!
Last night I used this recipe to make pizza and calzones and it was PERFECT. I don't know if it was entirely this recipe or the new whole grain flour I used from Healthy Choice, but the taste and texture were very good. So, yes, I used the whole grain all-purpose in lieu of the bread flour (which I never use these days). I used the dough cycle of my bread machine and when I began to roll out my dough it was an absolute pleasure. It was doughy and yeasty, but no too sticky. I added parmesan cheese and pizza herbs and garlic to the dough which yielded a flavorful, flexible dough that rose slightly (not too thick). When I have used other pizza doughs, they have been rather hard to manage in comparison and have risen so much during baking that the recipe for pepperoni bread (also found on this site) was too "bready" in a lot of spots. I may still alternate w/ other pizza dough recipes, but at this point, this is by far my favorite, especially for calzones and pepperoni breads.
This is our favorite crust from all the recipes here. My husband asked me to just make this one every time from now on. This one gets even better after we freeze it and thaw it for later use. I made these thin and crispy. Directions were easy to follow, dough was easy to handle. It made 3 large crusts as stated, I froze two, so I'll update later as to how they worked out. I did not prebake this and it turned out great. An awesome crust recipe, I am pleased in how this turned out and I do highly recommend this. This is even better that Jay's signature crust.
UPDATE: I thawed one crust out for lunch today and the pizza that resulted was fabulous! The crust came out very light with a crispy crunchy outside and soft inside. This was better than any pizza chain pizza crust ever thought to be! I cooked this for only 16 minutes, it would have burned in 20. This dough is so easy to work with, it is incredible. *****5 stars***** I still have 1 crust left in the freezer, yippee! I am so delighted with this recipe.
I make this dough in my bread machine, and it turns out great. You just put the liquid ingredients first and the yeast last, and allow first rise in the machine. After, roll it out, top, and bake as in the recipe. Just a tip if you divide by three to make only one crust, 1/2 pack of yeast, not 1/3. It rises better.
Perfect pizza dough! It keeps in the refrigerator, too. I made this five days ago, and baked half of it right away. I baked the other half today, and it was great. I baked it for 10 minutes, and then took it out to add the toppings, and continued baking for another 10 minutes. My guests loved it (as did I)!
This dough is so good and inexpensive. I make enough for 3 pizzas and freeze 2 of them. Good recipe for breadsticks too. Thank you for sharing it.

Fund Details
Main Office
The National Pensions Reserve Fund (NPRF) was established by a law in April 2001 to partly fund future pension liabilities. Its objective is to meet as much as possible of the costs of social welfare and public service pensions from 2025 onwards when these costs are projected to increase dramatically due to the aging of the population. The government of Ireland will set aside 1% of GNP each year to fund this vehicle.
In 2013, the Irish government changed the focus of the NPRF to focus more on domestic investments. The new name, Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, reflects the change.
To prevent potential serious damage to the financial system in the State and ensure the continued stability of the system.
The Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 also provides for Ministerial directions for the Fund to invest in Irish Government securities or for payments to the Exchequer to fund capital expenditure in the financial years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The implications of these developments for the Fund's operations and investment strategy are being considered by the NPRF Commission.

The only Bio Pellet brand I use. good for first few weeks BUT By Jay on 8/29/2013 Jay wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This is the first BRS product I have to give negative feedback on. I'm a regular customer and always have great things to say about there products BUT these bio pellets are not cut out to be what described. I'm running 500 ml in a reef octopus br-110 with a model 2 pump. The pump is near new and very very strong. The problem is after the first few weeks they work great but as they begin to breakdown which they are meant to do they start to clump and and cause problems. Now if your reading this your initial response is to say that there isn't enough pressure and trust me that is not the case. I borrowed a second BR-110 reactor from a friend and used Ecobak pellets on one tank and the BRS with fresh pellets. This was an experiment I wanted to compare. Same pumps and all, after 4 months the ecobak pellets never clumped or had any issues and took the nitrates to 0 from 110-120. The second tank with the BRS pellets was clumping as usual and only took the nitrates to 80-90 from 100-110. This is just my comparison and opinion but if it comes to bio pellets ecobak worked the best. I still love BRS and will continue purchasing all my other necessities but the pellets are not their best product. working like a charm By James on 8/25/2013 James would recommend this product to a friend I've had this setup on my tank for three weeks and now my nitrates are already starting come down. great price compared to other brands. Seems fine By riet on 8/17/2013 riet would recommend this product to a friend I just started using them, but the product was delivered fast, and seems as advertised. Great! By John on 6/28/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend Would definitely recommend BRS bio pellets, easy to use and nitrates are non existent. good By the man on 5/27/2013 the man would recommend this product to a friend tumbles nice just wish they were cheaper...pellets in general Biopellet pimp my ride By Steve on 4/27/2013 Steve would recommend this product to a friend A short time ago I purchased the BRS dual Medea reactor for GFO,CARBON, BIO, whatever. I have read a lot about this stuff and I will be applying this system to my 16gal nano when I arrive at my next duty station in San Juan, PR. I know it sounds like I am installing a Chevrolet big block engine in a Mini Cooper, but why not give it a shot! Another great Product from BRS!!! By Michael on 4/19/2013 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I was running GFO in my BRS Reactor and I was having to change it every two weeks. My Phosphates and nitrates were on the high side for me so started to do research on biopellets and decided to give then a try. Since having them running in the system the levels have dropped greatly. I will update this in about a month or so as to get the full capabilities of this wonderful product. works good By Dustin on 3/31/2013 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend i added this to my 1 year establishe reef tank.it will cloud the tank for a few days.do not panic.after a little over a month my nitrates went way down and have been at 0 6 months now. only con is they cost alot imo Great product By jose on 3/15/2013 jose would recommend this product to a friend The pellets are tumbleing nicely,They are kind of expensive,work great my nitrates are always low,Product works as advertised. Descent price By Ali on 2/23/2013 Ali would recommend this product to a friend This prodect is very good and has a reasonable price on it Can't say just yet. 5 stars for shipping and quality. By Toby on 2/15/2013 Toby would recommend this product to a friend I bought these to run in my BRS reactor but recently switched over to Chemi-pure elite. Nice product but got nervous looking at forums and people were stating that once you use them, you can't stop. One if the reasons were serious nitrate spikes if you do. I'm not sure if this is false or true. However with reef tanks their is alot of misguiding info on forums. I may take the plunge after my current media depletes.

AUSTIN (January 14, 2013)—University of Texas quarterback Case McCoy and linebacker Jordan Hicks, who were suspended before the Alamo Bowl as the result of a sexual assault allegation, have rejoined the team, Coach Mack Brown said late Sunday.
McCoy and Hicks were suspended a day before the Dec. 29 Alamo Bowl after a 21-year-old woman told investigators she had been drinking alcohol and was assaulted after inviting two men to her San Antonio hotel room according to a police report.
An attorney for Hicks said the incident was consensual.
Lawyers for the players last week said police told them the case would no longer be pursued.
Police have said the investigation continues.
Texas beat Oregon State 31-27 in the Alamo Bowl.
