Arena hosts 14th annual WSAZ Home and Garden Show
HUNTINGTON -- It may have been cold and snowy earlier in the week but the flowers know the warm shine of spring is on its way.
While the crocus, snowdrops and daffodils unfold outside, inside the Big Sandy Superstore Arena awakens with the energy of landscapers and home improvement booths gone wild.
From the sprawling Landscaping By Hillcrest display that's magically transformed the arena lobby into a backyard wonderland to more than 110 booths inside, the arena has come alive with the 2013 WSAZ Home and Garden Show.
Show hours are: 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Admission is $6.50, $5 seniors (55 and over) and free for children (12 and under).
Molly Browning, one of the main show organizers for the station, said the show, now in its 14th season, is like a rite of spring.
Booths, which feature info on services that range from building log cabins to fencing and budget blinds, have been sold out for months now and more than 10,000 folks are expected to walk through the doors to check out the wares of this smorgasbord of landscaping and home improvement ideas.
"I know we all get excited when you see the crowds of people come in and see them generally enthused about what they are looking at with all the vendors," Browning said. "They are often seeing things they've never seen before and a lot of people are seeing things they didn't know they wanted and seeing things they didn't even know that you could do right here in this area."
Browning said although they have 110 exhibitors at the show, no one showcases their business like Kristy Scarberry's Landscaping By Hillcrest, which has been inside the arena since Monday moving in dirt, stones, trees, woody ornamentals and flowers to make their always-impressive show gardens and patios.
"I think that's what I probably look forward to the most is to see what the landscapers are coming up with, and what they do is amazing," Browning said. "I think Hillcrest has probably been doing that for at least 10 years and that helps us because as soon as you walk in the door you are hit, boom, with something fantastic and it makes you want to go further and see what else is in there."
In addition to the booths, there is also lots of hands-on fun for children, including the Kid's Adventure Garden, sponsored by the Huntington Garden Club, Bob's Market & Greenhouse, Green Clovers 4-H Club, the Franklin Furnace, Ohio-based group that always brings in small animals like chickens and ducks for kids to pet, magician and balloon artist Gary Boothe, Good News Llamas and Little Victories Animal Rescue Group.
Also, the WSAZ booth will be filled with its TV personalities, none more popular at this show than the station's home and garden expert John Marra, who will be meeting with fans and answering questions throughout the show.
For folks wanting specific and priceless info on home gardening and landscaping, the area Master Gardeners and Extension Service offices have a joint booth with tons of info as well as hourly interactive seminars on topics such as composting, extending the season, home canning, new plants, high tunnels and soils and fertilizers.
Wendy Wilson, who coordinates publicity for the Cabell County Master Gardeners Association, said there's no event like the garden show for getting out info to the public on such a wide range of topics.
"It's the biggest event we have all year in terms of exposure to the masses, and it's the best opportunity we have in terms of media exposure and face-to-face contact," said Wilson, who runs Crackerjack Farms near Willow Wood, Ohio.
Wilson said the great thing about their booth is that they have a wide range of experts from recent Master Gardener graduates to professional extension service agents who dispense plant knowledge for a living.
"No one should feel afraid to come up and ask a question because we all started out at the beginning, " Wilson said. "We have plenty of information on everything from companion planting to just some basic differences between annuals and perennials."
Wilson, whose farm provides produce and herbs such as fennel to the Wild Ramp, said she thinks some of the most interesting topics at the show will be the ones on extending the growing season through the use of high tunnels as that is a practice that she's implemented with success at her farm.
Lori Bowling from the Boyd County Agricultural Extension office will be doing that lecture in prime time so to speak, at 7 p.m. Saturday.
"The use of high tunnels really can tack a month onto both ends of the gardening season and shelter you from the extreme cold and the ice and snow," Wilson said. "We know people who have been growing kale and broccoli in high tunnels all winter."
Wilson said the show also lets the gardeners know how many folks really are interested in gardening, in trying it for themselves and in helping support local farmers and gardeners as well.
"It really does seem like there is a movement now to buy, grow, sell and to purchase food locally," Wilson said. "That is definitely more of a trend that we are seeing. I am also noticing that more people are trying to get away from chemicals as they are hearing more scary stuff about chemicals, pesticides and GMOs, so more people are interested in gardening without chemicals and without so many fertilizers."

Thanks for making the connection readers. Negron was only arraigned in this case on March 1. It likely caught up with him when he was arrested on 2/28.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. Just a point of clarification, the reporter never recanted her account of what she witnessed. And she filed a report as a private citizen, not a reporter. She has never written about this case or anything related to it. Again, thanks for reading.
I know! I was ready to offer her a home!
Best app. Helped me find my phone a few weeks ago when I had it on silent and lost it in my house. My dad had not activated find my iPhone and his phone was stolen off his desk at work a few weeks ago. He wasn't able to wipe the phone out.
Yes, I was quoting from the court paperwork.
I'm so excited!!
What a nice thing to do.
This is a file photo from when Freemansburg police were escorting Robert Lasso's body to the funeral home. The procession passed Liberty High School.
Officer Happel was sitting at a stop sign, about to pull out of the parking lot to respond to another unspecified call when he allegedly approached her.
This is all the information police provided in the court filing. Any time an officer is assaulted and we are aware of it we report it.
The accident happened around 4:45 p.m. so it was dusk.
Salisbury created the insurance program to cover those expenses. Parents pay the annual per child insurance fee, which goes into a pool to cover damages, and then pay the deductible. Very similar to cell phone insurance.
@Val: Carol really emphasized she thinks St. Luke's provides top notch health care or she would not be working there.
I also wanted to pass on something from Carol Stevens that did not make it into the article. She's been proud to see how her labor and delivery unit has treated same sex couples with respect and she said her department is amazingly supportive of those couples.
@Forks Concerns: I did ask St. Luke's that very question. They declined to answer it and only issued the statement included in this article.
In August of 2010, NCC was ranked one of the top 50 community colleges in the nation by Washington Monthly: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/bethlehem/index.ssf?/base/news-2/1282622728155840.xml&coll=3
Northampton County taxes are not funding the college's new $72 million Monroe campus expansion. Here is the funding breakdown: $36 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, $31 million in gaming revenue, insured by the College, and $5 million of corporate and individual contributions.
Local school districts' share of the college's budget is determined by a formula that takes into account the number of district graduates that have attended NCC in the past five years. Local districts contributed $5.7 million of the college's $70.5 million operating budget.
Hope that helps.
You can get into the mall through an exterior door by Emeril's Chop House and the hotel, enter through the hotel and go through the food court. There are lots surrounding the mall and there is a casino parking garage too.
The PSEA is obviously a teacher's union. I am well aware of who they are and what they do.
Mr. Barreto simply said the "teacher's union," which many might take to mean the money came from Bethlehem Education Association. The PSEA reference was meant to clarify who donated the money, not denying the fact that the PSEA is a union.
For some reason it seems to have timed out and the link no longer works: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=OVCZU_4AVnCkPBU5ZgTLgRc_8Ia7NAZNJv_vmTB8NT-gdiWUI22ELs9H4_q&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8db2b24f7b84f1819390b7e2d9283d70f1
Try that and I'll work at getting the link repaired.
Hometown Heroes in Bethlehem. Not much variety in the menu choices but there doesn't need to be.
Roosevelt's 21st = awesome.
Starter's Golf Course - the sweet and sweaty are great.
Big Woody's
That was not addressed specifically during the meeting. But LVHN said the system will take into account all the medical records, forms, etc. that schools require so I'd think that this would be included.

Pretty sure the reference is to the base height, spindles go down to zero (the top of the base).
The shorty thrones on the market have a base height of 16" once the spindle is down all the way there's no reason to cut.
Depending on the design, collapsing the legs of the base together a little can lower the post, or it can raise it and this is a good little trick if you're experimenting with slight height adjustments, fold the legs to raise/lower and you don't lose your original height setting.

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Edgemoor. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Edgemoor ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Tuesday, 4th of August of 2015, the sun rose in Edgemoor at 6:05 am and sunset will be at 8:12 pm. Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 10:55 am at 274º west. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the east (83º) at 10:55 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 3:24 am and the next high tide will be at 3:58 pm. The first low tide will be at 10:47 am and the next low tide at 11:11 pm.
The lunar phase is a Waning Gibbous. Today we have 14 hours and 7 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 1:08 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 12 hours and 0 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 88, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 82 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 76. The tide heights today are 6.6 ft, -0.3 ft, 6.2 ft and 0.3 ft. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Edgemoor which is of 6.9 ft and a minimum height of -1.0 ft.
The solunar fishing calendar in Edgemoor tells us that today is an average day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is average. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
| from 4:36 am to 6:36 am, high activity Major period (moon up). This period also coincides with sunrise; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, possibly obtaining greater activity than expected
from 10:55 am to 11:55 am, average activity minor period (moonset)
from 4:55 pm to 6:55 pm, high activity Major period (moon down)
from 10:55 pm to 11:55 pm, average activity minor period (moonrise)
Tide timetable for Edgemoor. The times are generated in local time in Delaware and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Edgemoor are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

Join author David Gassner as he explores Java SE (Standard Edition), the language used to build mobile apps for Android devices, enterprise server applications, and more. This course demonstrates how to install both Java and the Eclipse IDE and dives into the particulars of programming. The course also explains the fundamentals of Java, from creating simple variables, assigning values, and declaring methods to working with strings, arrays, and subclasses; reading and writing to text files; and implementing object oriented programming concepts.
So far in this course, I've been creating applications where every class was placed in the root folder of its project, but Java developers very seldom actually do that. Most classes in a Java application are placed in packages or subfolders of the project. Because of the way Java application is structured it could have dozens, hundreds or even thousands of classes, and as an application gets larger it's very important to organize these classes into groups. We call these groups packages but they represent actual physical folders on disk.
I'm going to start by creating a sub package to store my helper classes. I'm working in a version of the Calculator application where all of the classes are stored in the root folder or default package and I'm first going to create a custom package and then move my helper classes into it. I'll go to the default package in the package Explorer view, right-click and choose New>Package. Initially, I'm going to use a shallow package structure meaning that each package will be just a subfolder of the root.
So I'm going to call this package, helpers. Now, when I create a package in Eclipse, I am actually creating a physical folder on disk as well. Next, I'm going to move my helper classes into the helpers package. I'll do this one at a time. I'll start with InputHelper.java, I'll right-click on the file and I'll choose Refactor>Move. I'll select my new helpers package and click OK. The file is moved into the package and a couple of changes are made to the code.
First of all, in the InputHelper.java file, a new package declaration is added to the top of the file. This is a requirement in Java. When a class is anywhere but the default package, it has to be declared that way in the code. The syntax is the keyword package and then the name of the package ending with a semicolon. Also, in the main application, where I am using that class, a new import statement has been added to the top of that code. Once again, this is a requirement. If the class isn't a member of the same package as the one that's calling it, then it has to be imported.
In this case, I am referring not just to the package but also the class name, helpers.InputHelper. Now I'll move my second helper class. I'll go to MathHelper.java in the package Explorer, right-click and choose Refactor>Move and once again, I'll choose the helpers package and click OK. My main application now has imports for both helper classes and both InputHelper and MathHelper have the package declaration. I'll run the application, I'll click the Run button and if prompted, I'll choose Java Application.
I'll enter some values and an operation and everything is working just fine. So organizing your classes into packages doesn't do anything to change the functionality for application; it just gives you a way of organizing the code so you can find it more easily later on. In large scale Java development environments package names typically are structured using a prefix of the company's domain in reverse domain order. So for example, if a company is named lynda.com then you would start off with a package prefix of com.lynda.
The reason to do this is so that you can eliminate any possible conflicts with other classes in the Java environment. Remember that Java compilation doesn't create a single monolithic file. Instead your runtime application consists of a whole bunch of compiled classes and it's up to the JVM to figure out which classes needed at runtime. By using reverse domain notation in your classes, you guarantee universal uniqueness. So I'm going to do a little bit more refactoring. I'll go to my default package and once again I'll add a new package, and I'll name this package com.lynda.calc.
So I start off with the domain name first and then something to say which application I'm working on. You can add more levels to your packages, it's up to you. I'll click Finish, then I'll go to my Calculator class, I'll right click and choose Refactor>Move and I'll choose com.lynda.calc. Notice that because I have dot notation, each of these is seen as its own individual package. I won't be placing anything in com or com.lynda; those are just prefixes for the way I am organizing my code.
But my main class will go in this calc package. I'll click OK and my source code file is moved and I'll look at my code and I'll see that the package declaration has been added at the top of the code. Next, I'll rename my helpers package, I'll right-click, I'll choose Refactor>Rename and I'll change the package name to com.lynda.calc.helpers. I am still distinguishing this package from the package that contains my main application and keeping all my helper classes in their own unique package.
But they're all deeply buried now in my uniquely named primary package. This time I'll choose Preview and show you that Eclipse can show you what your code will look like before and after refactoring. I'll click OK and the change is made. My main application still has the imports for the two classes, InputHelper and MathHelper. If I prefer, I can change these and just put in an asterisk and take out the second import, and this now means import everything in that package.
If you have classes in the package that you're not using that's okay; it won't affect performance. But note that if you use the Organize Imports tool in Eclipse that's the tool that kicks in when you press Ctrl+Shift+ O on Windows or Command+Shift+O on Mac, Eclipse will convert from an asterisk , a wildcard import to explicit imports for each class that you're using. That's the preferred approach for Java development because it helps you know by looking at the top of your code exactly which classes are actually in use in your application.
I'll go take look at the InputHelper and MathHelper classes and I'll see that the package declarations have been modified there. And finally, I'll save everything and run the application again and make sure I haven't broken anything. I'll enter the numeric value and another numeric value and this time, I'll multiply and I get back a correct answer. So, organizing your coding packages is a good thing to do. As your applications become larger and more complex and you have more and more classes, you'll find organization of your classes through packages to be invaluable.

Flights to Gran Canaria with Finnair
A continent in miniature
Gran Canaria is a great holiday destination thanks to its warm climate and unique environment. The capital Las Palmas is great for shopping and culture, while the famous beaches are located in the south of the island. If you're looking to wind down and soak up some sun, head to Puerto Rico, or if you'd like some more action and love good food, lively Playa del Inglés is the place to go. Maspalomas offers safe beaches for families and the Aqualand waterpark is nearby. Gran Canaria also has several golf courses and great possibilities for biking and water sports.
Almost half of the island is made up of nature reserves and parks. Palmitos Park is a large botanical garden exhibiting subtropical vegetation and hundreds of animal species, particularly birds. A fun way to see the sand dunes of the south is to go on a camel safari. The mountainous region offers many hiking routes and sights like the Guayadeque ravine and Agüimes historical village. The El Museo Canario architecture museum is a great place to learn more about the area's history.
All flights are operated via hassle-free Helsinki Airport. Book flights today!

Wondering and weeping
TV's injured, missing and rejected dominate my attention today. First, the missing… Concerned viewers wonder about Joe Reinagel, who was absent again today from his 6 p.m. sportscast after being charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct earlier in the week. Weekend sports anchor Bob Ballou subbed with no explanation as to Reinagel's status. Calls […] [Read More]
Media handling of the Joe matter
Joe Reinagel, following his arrest on charges that included public intoxication and disorderly conduct early Monday, won't be anchoring KENS' sportscasts tonight.

Haley moves up on 'Idol'
San Antonio's "American Idol" hopeful, Haley Scarnato, has moved up a notch — to the competition's Top-20. "I'm so relieved," Haley Scarnato's grandmother, Dorothy Scarnato, said from her S.A. home after her talented granddaughter was told she wasn't going home. It happened at the midpoint of the first "American Idol" results show Thursday night. "I […] [Read More]
'Idol' cliffhanger
OK, I'm a little worried. After getting slammed a bit by "American Idol" judges Wednesday night for being boring and old-fashioned, San Antonio semifinalist Haley Scarnato could be one of the four to get the hook tonight (at 7 on Fox). But there's also a positive side: She may not have been among the night's […] [Read More]

The voices may have been pitchy, but the judges were definitely —-. You fill in the blank.

Gear Question
Ive got the sierra designs zissou lite...
Ive got the sierra designs zissou lite dridown sleeping bag, it says 7x16 stuff sack size. Should I go with the same size [S] 7x16 or smaller [XS] 6x14 ? Can anyone help me out? Im not trying to fight the bag into the sack every morning or run the chance of damaging it. thanks for the help.
Pat Palmer
Don't go smaller than what the manufacturer reccomends. You'll end up with a fight every time when packing up your bag.
I'd go with the medium actually. The mouth of the sack seems slightly smaller than the width of the rest, unlike my regular stuff sack where the mouth is at least as wide as the rest of it, if not the widest part of the sack. Going up an inch in width will make it easier to stuff and any extra volume will just be compressed.

An Aiken man was detained for assault Thursday after allegedly pushing a woman to the ground, causing her to injure her wrist, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Dushawn Merritt, 33, of Greenville Street, was charged with third-degree assault and battery and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Friday afternoon.
The incident happened about 10:30 a.m. on Chesterfield Street, according to an incident report. The 49-year-old victim told officers she was walking on Chesterfield Street when Merritt confronted her and began arguing with her about police coming to a home on Chesterfield Street and asking about the victims stolen television.
Merritt allegedly pushed the victims shoulders, causing her to fall to the ground, police said. She tried to brace herself as she fell and injured her wrist.
Merritt was arrested a short time later at a gas station on Hampton Avenue.

A mahogany soldibody with Super 58 pickups and tri-sound switching.
Made of mahogany, just like the classics, the AR320 Artist's symmetrical double-cutaway body style was a first in the production guitar world. Ibanez's biggest leap forward will continue to be appreciated by today's player: the tri-sound switching system, a unique configuration that opens up the number of pickup/tone possibilities. No matter what the setting, the Super 58s pack this axe with rich tonal palette. Gorgeous old school pearl/abalone block inlays make for a path back to one of rock's most dynamic chapters.

Staples Street near Moore Plaza to close 10 p.m. Monday night
CORPUS CHRISTI - A section of South Staples Street near Moore Plaza will be closed Monday night while workers replace a collapsed clay sewer line.
All traffic on Staples Street, between Curtis Clark and Cain drives, will be detoured from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. as city contractors replace the 15-foot-long, 8-inch wide line. It will be replaced with PVC pipe.
Rain in the forecast could delay the work. Check Caller.com for updates.
The collapsed sewer line was discovered as a part of a multimillion dollar road reconstruction job under way to replace a section of South Staples Street and the utility lines beneath it. Additional costs are not expected, but could be minimal, as the work falls within the original project budget, said Leah Olivarri, a public relations consultant the city hired for the project.
The $15 million road reconstruction project began at Williams Drive and will move toward Saratoga Boulevard. It will be completed in 25 sections and each section must be completed before the contractor can move to the next, according to terms of the contract. The project is expected to be finished in summer 2013.

Plastic Bags Must Die!
In a perfect world there would be no hunger, no homelessness, no wars, and absolutely NO plastic shopping bags!
Plastic bags are everywhere. You can't get away from plastic bags no matter how hard you try. Sure, you take your reusable shopping bags to the store with you, but sometimes you forget them in the car and don't feel well enough to hoof it back outside to retrieve them. Then there are times when you simply didn't take enough of them to the store with you in the first place, and you're left feeling like a jerk because you'll have to leave the store with those darn plastic bags after all.
I live in California where we have a serious bag problem, and a proposed bill (AB 1998) to help reduce plastic bag pollution. I'm all for the bill's passage. I'm also the kind of girl who will chase down plastic bags in parking lots and on sidewalks – I hate the idea that a loose bag may end up in the stomach of some poor unsuspecting animal, or worse.
I've also been known to turn those unwanted plastic shopping bags into a recycled, reusable shopping tote (at least try to, anyway).
Here's a short video that I discovered on enviromom.com, entitled The Majestic Plastic Bag – A Mockumentary. Give it a look – it's sad with a little humor mixed in.
What about you? Do you take reusable bags when you go shopping? What do you do with your plastic shopping bags? Feel free to leave a comment and let us know where you stand.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Terry Reneau on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
As a medieval given name this is a Norman form of the French name Thierry, from Germanic Theodoric, from þeud 'people, race' + rīc 'power, ruler'. This was adopted by the Normans and introduced by them to Britain. In modern English use it seems at first to have been a transferred use of the surname derived from the medieval given name, and later to have been taken as a pet form of Terence.
|89th in the U.S.
French (Poitou): from Middle French rein 'limit', 'border', perhaps a topographic name for someone who lived at the edge of an estate.

Gear Review
Tim Az
vittoria cross xg clincher.
These tires are great. I use these as my CX training tires, and their big brother tubulars as my race tires. The tread pattern is a great all arounder and is very similar to the Clement Grifo pattern, but these have bigger and better cornering knobs. Very predictable tires. I will continue to buy these in the future.

Giving tree adds to Yarmouth Clam Festival success
YARMOUTH — Organizers said the 45th annual Yarmouth Clam Festival was a success thanks to beautiful weather, booming sales and the celebration of Herbie, Yarmouth's beloved elm tree.
"Judging from the lines at the food, information, and craft booths, everything seemed very busy," festival spokeswoman Lisa Perkins said. "We were easily within the 100,000-120,000 people that we planned for."
Several thousand visitors hit the ground running, and by 10 a.m. on Friday the festival was busy, usually a good indication of the rest of the weekend, Perkins said.
Perhaps mother nature cooperated because the weekend honored Herbie, once New England's largest American Elm tree, which lost its battle with Dutch Elm disease this spring after surviving 217 years.
This year's theme, "Three Cheers for Champions – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," also honored Frank Knight, Herbie's 101-year-old long-time caregiver, who was lead champion and grand marshal of the festival parade.
The hour-long parade on July 16 featured more than 20 floats honoring all kinds of champions, along with antique cars, marching bands and, of course, Shriners.
By far the largest champion at the festival, the Herbie "cookie" – a slice of the tree 7 feet in diameter – was on display on Memorial Green throughout the weekend.
Guests were encouraged to touch and admire the large cross-section, and to guess its weight. An estimated 3,000 ballots were cast, and two winners were announced because of a tie, Perkins said: Kyle Groves of Yarmouth and Julia Himmel of Quincy, Mass., won by guessing 690 pounds — closest without going over the actual weight of 693 pounds.
The winners will receive a basket of Herbie products, including a cutting board, book mark, "ashes" or wood shavings, a Herbie book and t-shirt.
Local woodworkers also had an opportunity to benefit from Herbie, as they experienced a boom in recognition and sales over the weekend.
Marcia Noyes, director of Yarmouth Community Services, said many of the artists and woodworkers volunteered their time to sell Herbie products.
"This was really the first time a lot of people were able to be face to face with Herbie products," Noyes said. "We sold out of anything that wasn't mass produced with about $15,000 in Herbie product sales."
Kim Dailey of Dailey Wood Working in Carthage was hired to create Herbie products on the spot. At the festival, he turned bottle stoppers on his lathe for an audience.
"There is a waiting list for everything I'm making," Dailey said, adding that the bowls he'd made before the festival sold out in four hours. "Most of the people watch me work on a bottle stop and then once I'm finished ask to buy that one."
However, Dailey noticed that some visitors were there just to get Herbie products, including one couple who purchased a bottle stopper from Dailey in honor of their cat, also named Herbie.
"People just seem to open up if they're watching you work. They feel like they can tell you stories," he said. "What the town is doing with the Herbie project is phenomenal. It has been an economic boom for the state."
But the tree's giving legacy won't stop there: proceeds from Herbie product sales will go to the Yarmouth Tree Trust to purchase and plant new trees in town.

Smith Statement on Supreme Court Ruling on Greenhouse Gases
Chairman Smith: "The Supreme Court yesterday put the White House on notice, calling EPA's regulatory actions 'outrageous.' Costly and burdensome regulations put American jobs at risk. I'm encouraged by the strong stand the Court took to stop the Obama administration from undermining the democratic process. The division of authority between Congress and President is essential to the preservation of liberty. The Court rebuked the EPA for 'laying claim to extravagant statutory power over the national economy' that even the EPA admits would transform the law 'unrecognizable to the Congress that designed it.' This decision takes a step toward protecting Americans from an agency that, according to the ruling, 'insists on seizing expansive powers.'"
Background: In December, Chairman Smith filed a "friend of the court" brief arguing that the EPA had overstepped its bounds by re-writing the law. The brief explained that to allow the EPA to re-write the law to suit its regulatory agenda "would, in the words of Judge Kavanaugh, 'green-light a significant shift in power from the Legislative Branch to the Executive Branch,' effectively giving the Executive Branch 'the authority to set economic and social policy as it sees fit.'" The brief stated: "Our Constitution reserves the power to enact, amend, or repeal statutes to Congress alone."

RALEIGH, N.C. Freshman T.J. Warren scored 21 points while Richard Howell scored the go-ahead basket with 1:56 left to lead North Carolina State to a 66-62 win over Clemson on Sunday.
Howell finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Wolfpack (15-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who never trailed yet still found itself in a tight game against a league opponent that wouldnt go away. N.C. State scored the games first 10 points and led by nine early in the second half.
Ultimately, the Wolfpack held on, with Howells three-point play breaking a tie and Scott Woods 5-for-6 performance at the line in the final 28 seconds helping N.C. State keep its grip on the lead.
Devin Booker scored a career-high 27 points for the Tigers (10-7, 2-3), though he didnt score in the final 8½ minutes or even get a shot in the final 6½ minutes.
No. 2 Indiana 67, Northwestern 59
EVANSTON, Ill. Cody Zeller had 21 points and 13 rebounds to help No. 2 Indiana beat Northwestern 67-59 Sunday.
Jordan Hulls added 15 points. Christian Watford scored 14, and the Hoosiers (16-2, 4-1 Big Ten) hung on after things got tense down the stretch.
They led by 17 in the first half and were up 31-17 at intermission, but Northwestern (11-8, 2-4) rattled them with its trap in the second. The Wildcats got within five three times, but the Hoosiers prevailed after seeing a six-game win streak end with a loss to Wisconsin last week.
Zeller, the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year, hit 9 of 10 free throws and dominated inside as Indiana pounded the Wildcats 36-24 on the glass.
Reggie Hearn scored 22 for Northwestern, which refused to go away quietly in this one after beating No. 23 Illinois on Thursday.

I wonder at the back story to the guy he's fighting.
In the judo video you posted, the n00b is light enough and compliant enough to get thrown safely. I imagine that for for Tohei to throw the guy in his video, it would have taken a fairly committed throw. If the guy can't ukemi, (or Tohei doesn't know) he'd have to hedge his bets fairly in that environment.
I had the fortune of fighting a Judo 1st Kyu when I was an Aikido 3rd Kyu. I could ukemi reasonably well, and the difference in skill was such that he could afford to be careful with me.
I bet few people get to experience Judo like I did that day. It was awesome. Like being inside a safe bubble in the middle of a fucking beat-down.

As ever it comes down to the old arguments of effectiveness of training methodology and delivery system.
What immediately struck me about the Tohei video was that it was the first one I've ever seen of a serious Aikidoka sparring with a live uncooperative opponent and he was able to make his Aikido work. However, for most of what he did he could have made his Aikido much more effective and thrown the guy much more if he had a better delivery system. As you can see in the video he looks quite a sea with the actual close range grappling and use of the gi.
I was surprised therefore to see the Judo 2nd dan claim, because that doesn't look at all like the gi control and space control skills of a Judo 2nd dan, to me.Things about Jits: How do Armbar 2.0

Sadly, that's pretty much it. It was after class and I told him something along the lines of "judo is bullshit - if you let your opponent get that close, you've already fucked up" (I was quite a young man)
He challenged, and when I asked what rules he said approx "you do whatever you want, I won't hurt you".
A 5 minute ass-whooping ensued. Both of us are nice people, and as we settled into it and realised how hopelessly outclassed i was, It became an opportunity for me to really let go.
I was lashing out, getting up, lashing out again. It was brilliant

We are wondering what was he thinking when he took the plunge, did he think about Jaguar's latest commercial? – Its Good To Be Bad 😛

Lots of prep work has gone into the solidification of the Martin Luther King, Jr National Memorial on the Mall in Washington, DC. All that's needed is a final chunk of change to help get the whole thing built. When it's complete, a tribute to the great man's ideas regarding equality and peace will be closely situated to those praising other American thinkers, such as Lincoln and Jefferson.
An array of performers have bonded together to help secure these project funds – The Dream Concert is a superstar deal that takes place in New York on Tuesday, September 18. Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana, Ludacris, John Legend, Babyface, Usher, Garth Brooks, Wycliffe Jean, Joss Stone, Talib Kweli, Robin Thicke, Whoopi Goldberg, Magic Johnson, and several others will take the stage for the cause.
Check back on Wednesday. We'll have some post-show pics for you. Which artist would you most like to see yourself? Hit "Comments."

Editor's note: Portions of this column first appeared on June 10, 2012.
Watching the non-stop coverage of the birth of Prince George in London last week reminded me of my own visit to the hospital where the infant who could someday be the king of England was born. St. Mary's Hospital, located near Paddington, was surrounded by crowds of well-wishers and throngs of news reporters awaiting word of the royal birth.
I got to tour St. Mary's Hospital last year when my wife, Stephanie, suffered an injury while we were on vacation in the United Kingdom. We had just landed at Gatwick Airport outside London and were walking down a long ramp that led from the international gate to customs when Stephanie pulled a ligament in her knee.
Every step she took was pure agony. I don't know how she made it through customs.
When we finally made it to our hotel in London, a merciful bellhop said he would find her a wheelchair. He returned with what appeared to be a medical apparatus from Queen Victoria's reign.
After consulting representatives from the hotel, we decided to visit the emergency department of St. Mary's Hospital, which was just a few blocks from the Hilton London Metropole. The hotel's concierge said it would be very easy for me to push Stephanie in the wheelchair to the hospital. The only thing, he told me sternly, was that I "must not forget to return the wheelchair."
I had a lot of ideas of how we might spend our first day in London, but pushing Stephanie down a cobblestone street in an old wheelchair was not one of them. Thankfully, it was excellent wheelchair-pushing weather: Sunny and warm, with a light breeze.
Finding St. Mary's Hospital, which was founded in 1845, was more difficult than we had anticipated. There were no animated signs, no zen gardens or a fake waterfall to identify the hospital where the likes of Prince William, Prince Harry and Elvis Costello were born. (The later certainly merits some sort of historical marker.) We finally discovered a simple kiosk that pointed the way to various departments of the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, we were pleasantly surprised to find it quiet and well organized. Stephanie explained to a receptionist that she was an injured American on holiday. The St. Mary's staffer told her to fill out a form that only asked for her name and where she was staying. That was the extent of our paperwork at St. Mary's.
We took a seat in the waiting area. The chairs were not modern, or very comfortable, but there were plenty of them. I noticed a number of National Health Service posters scattered on the walls of the hospital urging people to get their flu shots and to follow proper hygiene procedures. There were a few other patients in the waiting room — all suffering similar emergencies. One man had injured his hand in a motorcycle accident. Another said he sprained a leg playing soccer.
We waited less than 30 minutes before a physician's assistant called Stephanie's name for triage. He took down information about her injury, examined her leg and gave her something for the pain. He also offered reassurance. When Stephanie said she feared the injury would force us to cancel our vacation, the PA told her in a delightful Scots accent: "Oh now, let's not start talking about amputation yet."
Less than 40 minutes later, Stephanie was seeing the doctor. After a thorough examination, he told Stephanie she had pulled a ligament in her knee. The doctor told her she needed to keep her weight off the knee as much as possible.
She explained the predicament with our vacation, which included walking tours of Stonehenge, York and Edinburgh, and asked the doctor if such activity would be possible on her bum leg. It should be, he said, if she used crutches. And that's when Stephanie received what we now refer to as the Diamond Jubilee crutches (named for the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's reign). The doctor even took time to show her how to use them correctly.
A few minutes later, we were on our way to the hospital's pharmacy to have a prescription for painkillers filled. The pharmacy was located in the basement of an adjoining building that had served as a shelter during the Blitz. While Stephanie remained outside chatting with a patient from St. Mary's, who was enjoying the unusually warm spring English morning, I went downstairs to have the prescription filled. That took less than 30 minutes, and again no paperwork was needed to get the job done.
I did, however, have to pay for the prescription — 7 pounds to be exact. As a result, the entire cost of our visit to the emergency room at St. Mary's came to roughly $11. And we got to keep the Diamond Jubliee crutches as a gift from the NHS and the taxpayers of the United Kingdom.

We continue with some more newsprint paper sketches with our 2nd demo. I'll be using a tuscan red art stix. Art stix are of the same grade as prismacolor pencils. Gives you an excellent value range and allows you shade in large areas with the broad side of the art stix.
As you watch the video, bear in mind the following.
1. Core reflection – core shading on the side of the car that tracks the apex of curvature of the car.
2. Line weight – darkening the areas of concentration and focal point
3. Quick background – I just drew a simple box. Always start SIMPLE! Don't get too fancy too soon.
So sit back and watch the video. If there is something in particular you would like me to sketch, let me know.
If you are looking for a beginners course, our popular introduction to transportation design will cover excellent fundamentals and basics in analog and digital drawing formats. Plus! It supports this blog for free content Check out the site here:
