House in the Horseshoe hosts re-enactment event
The rain may have driven some visitors away from the House in the Horseshoe Saturday for the historical site's annual Revolutionary War reenactment, but those who made the trip were well-rewarded with a look into the American past.
"We came out for the historical value," said Sanford resident Chris Winstead while he and his son Tanner, 7, watched reenactors compete in hatchet throwing. "It's local history. It's tradition. I came with my father and grandfather when I was younger."
While the reenactment draws a local crowd, people come from across North Carolina, and even from out of state, for the event. Shane Lumpkins, of Nashville, Tenn., has been a reenactor for 15 years and was taking part in the House in the Horseshoe event for the 10th time.
"When people see that I travel from Nashville to participate," Lumpkins said, "it shows that this is a site worth keeping open. I'm glad to support [House in the Horseshoe], especially when it's in need.
Lee County Commissioner Kirk Smith took part in the reenactment as a member of the loyalist forces attacking the house. Smith's oldest son originally got him into it, and now, Smith attends events with two of his children and his wife, Wendy.
"I'm the quartermaster," Smith said. "That means I'm in charge of the tents, the ironware for cooking, the muskets. If you want to get geared up, we would be able to outfit you right now."
Back in the colonial camp, Joachim Niemoller prepared for the battle. One of his favorite things about the reenactment is the opportunity to meet up with his fellow history buffs he doesn't get to see very often.
"We are a very close-knit group," Niemoller said of the reenactors. "This is one of the few events where we can get together as a family. This is our chance to catch up."
Cheryl Colvin, a reenactor who got married at the House in the Horseshoe in 2009, also had an emotional attachment to the historic site.
"This site," she said, "this site is important. It's very personal. It's home."
Reenactor Rob Lewis summed up the feelings of many reenactors as to the importance of keeping American history alive.
"If we forget our past," he said, "we won't have a future. If we forget where we came from, we would dissolve. If we don't remember what we fought for, we'll lose our country."
House in the Horseshoe Site Manager Alex Cameron is worried that North Carolina may lose that chunk of history provided by the site, which was set to be shut down this year in the N.C. Senate's proposed budget. In past years, the legislature considered closing the site along with a number of other historic sites. This year, it was the only slotted for closure.
The approved state budget allocates funding to the House in the Horseshoe, but Rep. Mike Stone (R-Lee) said generating other sources of revenue will be imperative to ensuring the site remains open in the future.
"We need to find some alternatives to make sure we don't go down this road again," Stone said, "because this is getting tough every couple of years. We're looking at local societies to find a way to sustain it. It doesn't have a large budget."
But with the battle for funding ended, at least for now, reenactors and visitors can focus on the battle at hand — the one that took place in 1781 between the house's owner Philip Alston and his fellow colonists and British loyalist soldiers. After casualties on both sides, Alston eventually surrendered.
Anyone who missed Saturday's reenactment will have the opportunity to see it Sunday at 2 p.m. at the House in the Horseshoe, located at 228 Alston House Road, Sanford.

Mailbox users; link your Dropbox account for an extra 1GB free storage!
Here's a handy tip for Mailbox users to get some extra, totally free, storage in their Dropbox accounts. Mailbox was acquired by Dropbox not too long after it launched, and has since seen updates to add integration for Dropbox attachments. Now though, it seems the Dropbox connection goes a little further, as noticed by The Next Web:
"Once Mailbox's iOS app is installed, just go to the Settings menu, tap on "Dropbox", add your account information, and voilà! you now have more space to store photos, files, music, and movies. Don't worry if you've already connected the two services together — just unlink them and reconnect again to pick up the 1GB."
We've tried this ourselves, and we're happy to verify that indeed it does work. Instantly upon linking the two accounts, an extra 1GB of storage gets added to your total. Mailbox may still only be for Gmail users, but the Dropbox connection looks to be coming good. Thanks Dropbox!

Copy is excellent and cheaper than Dropbox. It offers you more space for free
than Dropbox. Both are good and both come with the desktop client to
sync your files to their cloud servers.
Check it out and use this link to sign up for Copy to get 20GB free instead of the regular 15GB
I have 622 Gigs of free space in Copy. 3rd party API is great and all, and I use Dropbox for the Mail app, but I use Copy for EVERYTHING else on my computer, like backing up my whole hard drive. So yeah, Copy kind of beats Dropbox over all for me right now.
Im not a tech know-it-all or anything in that matter but sounds to me like COPY is a great service too. I'll be using both Copy and Dropbox unless there's a law that prohibits it. Is there? Lol
Of course not! I use both. Because I use Mailbox as my email app on my iPhone, I store all my documents, pdf's and work photos in Dropbox. I use Copy as my photo/movie folder, backing up everything there as well as storing a copy of my Dropbox folder there that I back up once a week.
Thanks Richard! Unlinking and relinking worked for me.
Excellent! Thank you for the tip. The extra 1G showed up instantly.
Here's an idea for another article (if you haven't done this already)... top ten ways to get extra free Dropbox space! (like this one you wrote about here--I bet they don't talk about this on the Dropbox site, do they?)

Chew on This: What's OK to go in Baby's Mouth
I've always been vaguely aware that most small children put things into their mouths. For years, my mother reminded me that as a toddler I loved to chew on cigarette butts I found at the park, yet despite this knowledge, it still came as a shock to discover with my own children just how much time I'd spend trying to prevent them from eating the inedible. Even more shocking is the list of hazardous items they've managed to get into their mouths to date, despite my vigilance—a list including such delicacies as hair clips, staples, and even broken glass.
What Is Mouthing?
There is some comfort in knowing I'm not the only parent fighting this battle. "Mouthing behavior is a normal part of development for young children," according to Dr. Kimberly Thompson, MD, a Harvard professor and director of the Kids Risk Project. "It's one of the ways that children explore their environments. Studies show that children put an enormous range of objects into their mouths … but some children show very little mouthing behavior and others a lot."
Children typically mouth the most between birth and 18 months, while they're teething but before they have the mobility for most other forms of exploration. However, some children will continue mouthing through the toddler years and beyond. Research shows that the average child under the age of three only mouths for about 30 minutes a day, but since there's no way to predict which 30 minutes those are going to be, parents constantly need to be on their guard.
What Are the Dangers?
Potential dangers associated with mouthing range from the minor, such as exposure to germs, to the serious and even deadly. The more extreme risks include poisoning from ingesting something toxic and internal injury caused by swallowing small items (especially magnets). But the biggest danger is choking. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, airway obstruction is a major cause of death for kids under the age of four and the number one cause for kids younger than one.
Kelly Smith, owner of Totsafe, a Michigan-based babyproofing company, has talked to hundreds of parents about the dangers of choking and finds that many are not familiar with the full list of items that pose risks. "Everyday items including pen caps, coins, the rubber cap on the bottom of the toilet, rubber tips from door stoppers, and even balloons are choking risks to children," says Smith. "They are small items, but they are deadly."
How Can You Protect Your Child?
When it comes to mouthing, exposure to germs is probably the easiest risk to mitigate. To help keep your baby healthy, be sure that any items that he likes to mouth or that he shares with other children are regularly cleaned and disinfected.
In terms of the more serious mouthing hazards, experts agree that the single biggest factor in keeping children safe is adult supervision—but any parent will tell you that it just isn't possible to watch children every second. (It's nice to occasionally brush your teeth or grab a bagel, after all.) So the second most important thing you can do is childproof your home and other places your baby regularly visits.
As a general rule, a young child should not have access to any non-food items smaller than the size of his fist. Small objects aren't the only dangers though. You should also remove larger items that your child may be able to bite into, such as plants, books, and older kids' toys that have small parts.


text: Survival- The theme of survival is that loung and here family must survive though the constant pressure the Khmer rouge are putting on them with: lack of food, nutrition, and shelter. Making everyone weaker while the Khmer rouge make them work harder, and many people went crazy and killed themselves or ate poisonous mushrooms. "The round belly that I used to wrap my arms around is now caved in and showing his rib cage. Yet he always takes the last and smallest portions of the leftovers" Throughout most of the book the Khmer rouge are constantly reducing the rations of the workers for their soldiers, and people are dieing of sicknesses because there are no real doctors for the people who work for the Khmer rouge. Perseverance- Loungs family must preserver though all that the Khmer rouge are putting them though and try to hold their confidence that the Cambodian army will come to save them because if they lose that confidence they may go crazy like many people do in this book and end up giving in to starvation, and or killing themselves because of all of the pressure they have. "She has become known as "the crazy lady." she eventually ate some poisonous food and died the same way her daughters did. Her body was found by one of the villagers the next day, all contorted and bloody." Family- The theme of family is that the ung family must stick together and help each other from going crazy and or killing someone for food because of malnutrition. "We survive this period because Pa is friendly with the chief." In the book their family is almost broken down to nothing but they held on and kept what little they had left together and it helped them though the war. "Pa is able to get extra food for the gifts he gives to the chief"

Did You Know…Ways To Reduce Your Use
Halfway through the workweek! Get excited! There are many ways to be eco-friendly and energy efficient. However, there are some tips that may not be as obvious, even to us at Direct Energy. In efforts to continue our commitment for an energy-efficient 2013 (remember those New Year's resolutions?), here are some ways to reduce your use. Did you know:
- Empty freezers use more energy than full ones. To maximize your energy efficiency, fill your freezer with gallon containers of water.
- In the summer, your ceiling fan should run counterclockwise in order to create a downward airflow. In the winter, your ceiling fan should run clockwise in order to circulate warm air.
- Slow cookers are one of the best and tastiest ways to save energy in the kitchen. The low-and-slow method cooks your food with small amounts to energy.
- A leaky toilet can waste around 400 gallons of water a month! Check for leaks by putting dye tablets or food coloring in the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, it's time to call a plumber.
- Your dryer exhaust vent should be on the outside of your house in order to reduce the workload on your air conditioner.

We all love a good picnic don't we? We've had a chat here in the office and come up with our top 10 picnic spots in the county. Share your favourites too!
1. Avebury Stone Circle
Avebury has actually won an award previously for being a top picnic place! There are lots of grassy areas to take rest here and you'll be sitting among history.
2. Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp
Head high up into Wiltshire's hills on the edge of Bratton Camp, an Iron Age hillfort. From here you'll not only get magnificent views over the surrounding countryside but you'll also be able to see one of Wiltshire's most iconic sites, the Westbury White Horse.
3. Queen Elizabeth Gardens
Set in the centre of Salisbury, these gardens include peaceful riverside walks, some beautiful Cathedral views and if you are lucky you may even spot a kingfisher or two. For children there's also an on-site play park.
4. Stourhead
Ok so you do have to pay to get into Stourhead (unless you are a member of the National Trust) however these gardens are truly stunning. You'll find many a family sat around the lakeside taking in the views and enjoying a picnic.
5. Salisbury Cathedral Close
Picnic in Salisbury's historic Cathedral Close with the impressive Cathedral, historic houses and pretty little gardens belonging to the local residents. You'll find many a Salisbury resident here on a summer's day.
6. Savernake Forest
Near to Marlborough, this ancient forest makes a great base for exploring. There's a designated picnic site at Postern Hill with picnic tables and areas for bring your own BBQs.
7. Cley Hill
It's a bit of a hike to get up this hill but when you are there the views are definitely worth it and you'll most certainly have worked up an appetite. Cley Hill forms part of the Longleat estate but is managed by the National Trust. It's also one of the top spots in Wiltshire to see a UFO too!
8. Pewsey Wharf
Walk along the towpath of the Kennet & Avon Canal to pick your perfect picnic spot. Watch the boats passing, spot wildlife and simply relax…
9. Lydiard Park
Enjoy Lydiard Park's lakeside setting, sunbathe on the lawns and if you have children then let them burn off steam in the play park here. There are extensive lawn areas here so you'll have no troubles finding your perfect picnic spot.
10. Stonehenge landscape
The land surrounding the mystical stones is managed by the National Trust. Much of this landscape can be explored by foot and like Avebury, provides a very historic setting for your picnic. English Heritage will shortly be opening up a picnic area closer to the Stones as well so you'll certainly be able to picnic with a view!
Russell Buckardt I have visited these sites over the years when back visiting family and relatives in Whiltshire. Salisbury Cathedral Close, Stonehenge landscape, Pewsey Wharf, Avebury Stone Circle and Stourhead. Lovely.

As she explained in her MTV documentary Demi Lovato: Stay Strong, the "Skyscraper" singer is doing her best to control her self-destructive impulses. Her dressing-room-destructive impulses, however, are another thing entirely. "I break things. I've trashed dressing rooms just for the hell of it," Lovato told NYC's Z100 radio station, before explaining how she also tossed lunch meat just for "fun." Claimed Lovato, "I like to throw things when I'm bored. I was trying to catch the deli meat on the ceiling … it ended up turning into kind of a food fight!" Demi also alluded to some "pretty rock 'n' roll things" she'd done that she was not going to talk about, alluding perhaps to the drug use she discussed in Seventeen back in January, which she said she used to self-medicate before her stint in rehab in November 2010. Yeah, let's stick with the honey ham, girl. It might made you smell like a sandwich, but at least it's not a felony!
Speaking of hotels (but hopefully not sliced turkey), Demi Lovato was also allegedly seen canoodling with friend and Big Time Rush actor Logan Henderson just yesterday at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York City. Sounds delicious! Plus, that suggests that she's not seeing Wilmer Valderrama anymore. You know, the human equivalent of cold deli meats?

The Justice Department has moved to shut down Harborside Health Center in San Jose and Oakland by filing papers to seize both properties where Harborside Health operates its dispensaries.
On Tuesday, July 10th, copies of the federal complaint for forfeiture were taped to the the front doors of both dispensaries and alleged that they were "operating in violation of federal law."
Harborside Health Center (HHC) was co-founded by activist Steve DeAngelo and is thought to be the most high profile medical marijuana dispensary operation in the state. HHC was even the subject of the reality show "Weed Wars" last year.
DeAngelo said Wednesday that he would fight the actions taken by the Justice Department "openly and in public" and said he would strongly resist any attempt of landlords to evict HHC after receiving the Federal complaint.
Last month, Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Judiciary Committee that his federal agents were only targeting large-scale growers and dispensaries. In her statement released Wednesday, U.S. attorney for Northern California, Melinda Haag, suggested that "superstores such as Harborside" fit that bill. She went on to say that, "the larger the operation, the greater the likelihood that there will be abuse of the state's medical marijuana laws."
Harborside Health Center has often been lauded as the model for compliance. Activists point to the fact that HHC's main facility in Oakland not only is permitted but complies with the strict regulations of the city. Nandy Nadel of the Oakland City Council and vice mayor said in a statement, "It is most unjust to our citizen patients and distributors who have followed local guidelines to be harassed and treated as criminals by federal officials."

2009 Champion Remains Undefeated in 2011
AURORA, Ill. (January 24, 2011) – The AMA Arenacross Series heads to its fourth round of the season this weekend at the Denver Coliseum with TUF Honda's Jeff Gibson continuing his quest to becoming the first rider to go undefeated in the course of the championship. Through the first three rounds of the season, Gibson, has managed to take the checkered flag. With two nights of action coming this weekend, the opportunity for his rivals to end the dominance is there.
Gibson's advantage over his closest competitor in the standings is already in the double-digits at 15 points over Babbitt's Monster Energy/TiLUBE Kawasaki presented by Maxxis' Chad Johnson. The opportunity to dethrone Gibson has been there, thanks to strong rides by Johnson and other riders like his teammate Tyler Bowers and Foremost Insurance/Spinechillers/HondaofFairfield.com's Nathan Skaggs.
Traditionally, back-to-back nights of high-intensity action produces some unpredictability while also giving riders who may find trouble on the first night a chance at redemption on night two. Should Gibson manage to maintain his momentum, you can bet backing it up might very well be his biggest challenge all season.
"I think it really just boils down to being in the right place at the right time," said AMA Arenacross Series Director Jayme Dalsing. "Jeff (Gibson) has been fortunate in addition to being fast. However, the fastest riders in the field are so close together on speed that it's those little mistakes or those windows of opportunity that ultimately determine the outcomes of things."
While Gibson's early dominance is hard to ignore, the series is still just three rounds into the championship and beginning this weekend in Denver, hits possibly the most difficult stretch of the season. This stretch includes three two-night rounds over the next four weeks in addition to an enduring travel schedule that ultimately ends up on the West Coast at the conclusion of the run. A shakeup of some sort is likely imminent.
As the Arenacross class soldiers on through its championship, the Arenacross Lites Western Regional Championship returns to action in Denver after making its 2011 debut at the opening round in Tulsa. Xtreme Cycle and ATV Suzuki's Cory Green captured the first win of 2011, but by virtue of his top-10 standing in the Arenacross class, will not defend the win. As a result, a new face will stand atop the box in Denver in the Arenacross Lites class.
Advance tickets are available for this weekend's Denver Arenacross at the Denver Coliseum Box Office, Ticketmaster charge by phone and ticketmaster.com. Tickets cost $2 more the day of the race.

Cooking and Baking
Corn syrup-is it really that bad? Replacements?
Hi everyone. Its struck me that if I'm going to be all crunchy and use great ingredients in my caramel type confections and goodies, I would be better off avoiding corn syrup.
Does anyone have any suggestions for substitutions? I think the corn syrup functions to stop the mixture crystallising and turning into a more fudgy type of stuff so is fairly relevant. I would imagine glucose syrup is produced in a similar way to corn syrup with lots of chemical production, but would rice syrup or something like that be better?

There are several reasons why everyone loves the show Girls (aside from the hilariously realistic plot lines). One of the biggest: the clothes.
The star and show's creator, Lena Dunham, puts as much thought into the characters' wardrobes as she does the witty dialogue. "We spend a lot of time talking about that outfit you can't believe you wore but you know you spent three days dreaming up," she tells the New York Times. "The clothes are really meant to reflect the fantasy the girls have about themselves and are sort of unsuccessfully fulfilling."

Most Helpful Opinion
Testosterone levels are constantly rising and falling for men everyday. The point at which testosterone is the highest level is different for many men. However for all it's essentially when they sleep.(even a nap causes a boost in testosterone production.) When a man sleeps the culmination of melatonin(brain chemical which is what causes drowsiness and sleep) and high levels of testosterone leads to multiple erections throughout the entire sleeping period. The melatonin relaxes the spongy tissue in the penis and the testosterone gives signals to the tissue that the man is aroused(even though he isn't or well isn't being aroused by a real entity). The reason testosterone is the highest when we sleep is our body doesn't need to allocate resources to other important things when we are sleeping(especially when not on a full stomach). So with a lot of less work the body works on things that are needed less.(growth whether it be height, muscle, penis, and/or brain.(applies only when still in growing stage) Repairing body tissues and synthesizing more less needed steroids/chemicals such as dopamine, estrogen(for men), testosterone, melatonin, various enzymes, and proteins.
However just because we wake up with lots of testosterone and a chemical still in our body that makes us drowsy(melatonin) and obviously with drowsiness comes sensitivity(think pain killers) that can easily make us ready to have sex doesn't mean we are necessarily horny. I don't wake up horny. I wake up with a boner and feeling all fuzzy sure, but I just go take a p*ss in the bathroom as the boner goes away and get ready for life lol. Obviously if I lived with a girl whom I could have sex with I might be more inclined, but that is really an unknown. I'm not sure if it would change anything.
What Guys Said 6
What Girls Said 3
In my experience, it isn't so much that they wake up horny as they wake up ready!
Guys have several erections as they sleep. And sometimes when they wake up, it is still there. So when they wake up and start feeling their crotch pounding, it's pretty natural to start thinking about sex immediately. I mean, shoot, if I woke up with my crotch on fire, I'm sure I'd want sex first thing in the morning too!
So usually "morning wood" leads to them rolling over and pushing it into your butt and asking if you want to have sex cause they are already locked and loaded. Which is probably why your friends think guys wake up horny.

"My curves are not crazy" were the immortal words of pioneering French artist Henri Matisse. It was said that he painted with scissors, an idea perhaps adopted by Sarah Burton for this season's S/S15 Alexander McQueen menswear show. Burton looked to the Tate Modern's prolific catalogue, taking Matisse's iconic swirls and paper cut-outs and Kabuki's theatrical Japanese make-up and reworking them in a dramatic display of suiting and leather.
Willowy beads and leafy curls swung across polo-necks and tailored jackets in Matisse blue, beige and mustard. Even the wet-look hair by seasoned McQueen hair stylised Guido Palau hung across one eye like a brush stroke. The collection felt slightly less sinister than in previous seasons, a zen-like feel rippling through the Japanese belted coats and clinical white tailoring.
"Willowy beads and leafy curls swung across polo-necks and tailored jackets"
Of course the McQueen menswear staples were still there: houndstooth, distorted historicism, a nod to punk and a scientific edge that suggested each model had walked out of Sarah Burton's laboratory – an idea reinforced by the venue at The Royal College of Surgeons.
It seems that for spring, Burton has left the flavour of the collection in the eye of the beholder: whether you chose to pick up on the structured PVC, or the pared-back suiting or abstracted trompe l'oeil trousers. Indeed it was Mattise who also said, "there are always flowers for those who want to see them."
