The Gorge zip line tours debut this weekend
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 3:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 2:21 p.m.
Valerie Stilwill knew she wanted to do something memorable to celebrate a half-century on the planet. Like a 50th wedding anniversary or class reunion, a 50th birthday is pretty special.
Want a go on The Gorge?
Zip line canopy tours on The Gorge are offered on the hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. Cost is $89 per person, or $79 per person for children ages 10 and 11 and for groups of eight or more. Children must be 10 or older and weigh at least 70 pounds; adults must weigh no more than 250 pounds.
The Gorge outpost is at 166 Honey Bee Drive, Saluda. To make reservations and for more information, call 828-749-2500.

A trip to Vegas was a consideration at one time for the Hendersonville resident, but then her focus turned more adventuresome during a conversation over dinner with a girlfriend one night: How about zip lining?
"It's kind of a right of passage," Stilwill said of turning 50, which she did on April 16. "And everybody I know has wanted to do something special for it, or something exciting, something different, be it go on a vacation that they've always wanted to take, get a tattoo — a lot of people get tattoos — and I thought a zip line would be fun and exciting."
And what better timing? This week Stilwill and her friend booked a spot in June with Western North Carolina's newest outdoor adventure, a zip line canopy tour that takes thrill seekers soaring over the Green River Gorge in Saluda.
Presented by the owners of Green River Adventures, Sara and Tim Bell, The Gorge officially opens Saturday, with a grand opening scheduled next weekend.
Eighty-four-year-old adventurist Bonnie Zelenskie, a resident of Tryon Estates retirement community in Tryon, was granted the ceremonial maiden voyage on the course Friday morning.
Sara Bell said she has booked reservations all the way into October already, with nearly every tour until then — on the hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week — starting to fill. People are coming from across Western North Carolina and the Southeast and from as far away as California, she added.
"It's a huge deal for the area," said Libbie Johnson, Polk County's economic tourism development director. "It capitalizes on Polk County's natural assets and outdoor adventure industry, which we think is very important to our economy here. The other thing that we're excited about is the kind of tourists that this will attract, which is usually young, athletic families — those are the people that we really want to come here."
The Gorge takes visitors in a secured harness down 6,500 feet of cable — or about one mile — with a vertical descent of about 1,100 feet through a series of tree-based platforms. It features 11 zip lines, three rappels and one sky bridge.
Sara Bell said the builders of the course, Challenge Design Innovations, scoped out other certified courses throughout the U.S., and "We feel confident in saying that it is in fact the steepest, fastest canopy tour absolutely on the East Coast and probably in the country.
"And really, I think, what has taken us by surprise is just how big the exposure is and the huge views people get. There are two platforms in particular that when you leave on the zip, you leave the canopy on the edge of the gorge and you're just flying right over the Green River Gorge. It is pretty phenomenal."
So is the fact, Bell added, that great care was taken to preserve almost all the trees in the certified old-growth forest, which comprises the bulk of the property on which the tour operates and where one tree has been dated to the early 1840s.
More good news: The project is expected to create about two dozen jobs, and in a booming industry that local officials believe will be at the center of drawing the next generation of tourists here to want to live, work and retire.
"In Polk County, when you hire 25 or 30 people, that makes you a major employer here — it's a huge deal," Johnson said. "Western North Carolina has really targeted the outdoor adventure industry as a growth sector. That particular area of businesses has seen unprecedented growth, even during the (economic) downturn."
And as Zelenskie — and Stilwill — have proven, it's never too late to join the action.
"It just looked breathtaking and exciting, though I have to say I'm nervous," Stilwill said. "Even though I say I've been a roller coaster girl my whole life and I'm not typically afraid of heights, I'm still nervous because I've never done it before. But I'm excited, and I'm really going to try to be brave and go for it."

Sweet, apple-like taste of chamomile with a citrus finish of orange and lemon
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Iced Tea ::
A stronger brew is required for iced tea than for hot tea because of ice's dilution action. Prepare a tea concetrate as follows:
Single Serving
For a single serving, prepare as for hot tea, use one rounded tablespoon of loose tea per 6 ounces of water and after brewing pour over ice in a 12 ounce glass.
Large Serving
1. For a larger serving, prepare a iced tea concentrate by bringing one quart of cold water to a rolling boil in a tea kettle.
2. Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea.
3. Steep 5 - 7 minutes or to desired strength.
4. To serve immediately, pour over ice in a tall glass, or add another quart of cold water to the concentrate and chill in refrigerator.
Health Benefits
Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobilis)
A popular medicinal herb, Chamomile use as a calming and anti-inflammatory remedy dates back to ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. With its soothing qualities, Chamomile can help calm the nerves and ease stomach pains.
Orange (Citrus aurantium amara)
Abundant in nutrients, the orange, a citrus fruit, contains high levels of Vitamin C, folic acid, beta-carotene and fiber. Rich in phytochemicals the fruit has also been shown to help prevent chronic health conditions including cancer and heart disease. Its flavonoids provide an anti-oxidant effect.
Chamomile is traditionally drunk by many to soothe the body and mind before bed time. However, we recommend serving our Chamomile Citrus as a refreshing herbal infusion to calm and focus the senses before the work day begins.
In the alternative, try it on ice during the summer to refresh and revive. It also makes an excellent after-dinner digestive. Pair the infusion with light foods and complementary flavors like cookies or fruit flavored item such as lemon or orange.

STOCKTON - A man described as possibly the owner of Leo's Jewelers was tied up and assaulted Monday during a brazen daytime robbery of his store at 6360 Pacific Avenue, police reported.
The man, 63, was taken to an area hospital for treatment of several injuries and was last listed in stable condition, according to police. They did not identify the victim.
Around 2:50 p.m. Monday, according to police, three men wearing ski masks and carrying hammers entered the jewelry store in a small strip mall tucked behind O'Reilly Auto Parts, tied up and hit the man while taking an undetermined amount of jewelry from several glass cases. One of the suspects may have been armed with a handgun. When a customer entered the store, the three suspects fled on foot.
Police provided the following descriptions of the suspects: The first was a black man in his mid-20s, 5 feet 10 inches and 180 pounds wearing a black shirt and dark jeans; the second was a male of unknown race wearing a red hat and dark shirt; the third was a black male, 6 feet 1 inch with a slender build wearing a tan sweatshirt and blue jeans.
A man who works nearby but was not present during the robbery described the injured victim as Leo, the owner of the jewelry store.
"He's a nice guy who ran a one-man shop," Carlos Jacobo said, adding, "for the most part, we feel pretty safe here. We've heard a few cars have been broken into at the apartments behind us, but nothing here."
A sign on the front door of Leo's says the store provides "expert jewelry repair."

Sick of the dating scene and both single, the two decided they'd set a challenge. 40 days of dating. They're releasing the results one day at a time, making the experience a lot like watching a bad-but-can't-take-your-eyes-off-of-it reality show. Will they or won't they?

Note: This appeared in the print-only TV Guide of The Marshall Independent.
The first thing you notice in �Beautiful Creatures� is, they�ve got the dialect down. I defy anyone to name the actor who is really from South Carolina, among an Englishman, a Scot, a kiwi, two Californians, a Texan and a New York Yankee.
They got a heck of a dialect coach to teach them how to tawk raht. They even know �Bless your heart� is how well-bred Southern ladies say, �**** you.�
�Beautiful Creatures� is based on the 2009 novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, which falls into the sub-subgenre of fantasy called teen urban fantasy, though it�s set in the fictional rural town of Gatlin, South Carolina. That is, it�s a story where the supernatural lurks below the surface of our seemingly mundane world.
And the world of Gatlin is suffocatingly mundane to teenage Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich, the Californian), a high school junior whose burning ambition is to graduate and get out of town.
You see Ethan, though a popular jock, likes to read books. Forbidden books, such as �To Kill a Mockingbird.�
Ethan has been having dreams about a girl he�s never met. Until she shows up in class at the beginning of the year.
Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert, the New Zealander) is 15 and pretty in a spooky kind of way. But though the mean-girls clique led by Ethan�s old girlfriend Emily (Zoey Deutch, California) are really nasty, Lena can hold her own dishing out the insults. And when that fails she can shatter the school windows.
She is also the niece of Macon Ravenwood (Jeremy Irons, the Brit), a reclusive rich man whose family built the town and are rumored to be devil worshippers.
Not quite. They�re casters, something like witches though they don�t like that term. Casters are a race with supernatural powers who seem to be at least provisionally immortal, since they refer to us as mortals.
When Lena turns 16, she will be claimed by either the light or the dark, according to her true nature. And it�s not altogether certain a caster has a choice in these things. Her older cousin Ridley (Emily Rossum, New Yorker) seemed like a nice enough girl, until she turned 16 and became a Siren who uses and discards men mercilessly. And by discard we mean on railroad tracks in front of onrushing trains.
Ethan and Lena bond over a love of books and poetry, and shared loss of their mothers, after a courtship involving some very well-written banter.
Well the course of true love never runs smooth, especially with mixed couples. Lena�s mother Serafina (Emma Thompson, the Scot), who really is a witch, or something that rimes with it, won�t stay dead. She�s possessing the body of Ethan�s best friend Link�s (Thomas Mann, Texas) mother Mrs. Franklin.
Serafina wants Lena for the dark, so casters can come out of the shadows and take their rightful place as rulers of the mortal world.
Macon has his own plans for Lena, which definitely don�t include Ethan. Fortunately Ethan has an ally in Amma (Viola Davis, the real Carolinian), a family friend/housekeeper for his own reclusive and grief-stricken father.
Amma is not a caster, but she is a seer and the Keeper of the caster library. Amma also has history with the Ravenwoods. She�s a black woman steeped in the tradition of southern Hoodoo, and quite capable of putting Macon in his place.
So how does this stack up as modern fantasy?
Pretty good. It�s pretty solidly rooted in the traditions of European folklore about the Other World, its inhabitants and their relationship to ours. And as noted there�s a dash of the African-American folkloric tradition indigenous to the South.
Visual effects are for the most part, very good. The chemistry between the young couple is convincing, and there are plot complications aplenty.
What�s really nice is, teen genre books and movies for the past generation have mostly tended to be about teen angst and the agony of being unpopular. The teen books of my youth and my father�s generation were about teens doing improbable, but bold, resourceful, self-reliant things.
For anyone raised on the adventures of Tom Swift and the Hardy Boys, or for girls Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames, this modern stuff is pretty thin gruel.
Lena is the school outcast, but nobody�s doormat, and trying hard not to go all �Carrie� on everybody.
Ethan is a popular jock, but he has a brain, character and compassion. Thank you!
Newbies Ehrenreich and Englert hold their own as leads supported by heavyweights Irons, Thompson, and Rossum. Davis is known more as a stage actress, but �Beautiful Creatures� might change that – there are two sequels to the book, �Beautiful Darkness,� and �Beautiful Chaos.�
Keep your crystal ball tuned for further developments.

Ecuador officials reject donkey as candidate
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 9:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 9:43 a.m.
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The demand of dozens of citizens has been denied in the Ecuadorean city of Guayaquil: There will be no jackass running for the legislature.
At least 40 people paraded their candidate through the city's streets to the electoral council offices. Mr. Burro even wore a tie. But officials refused to even let them in the door on Thursday, even though backers had dummied up a mock voter registration card showing the candidate's photo superimposed on a man wearing a business suit.
Donkey backer Daniel Molina told local television stations the goal was to call voters' attention to the seriousness of the February election, not to insult any party.

Word of Thanks: Feb. 14
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.

Having just completed the final phase of cataract surgery at Pardee Hospital, I wish to commend the entire staff of Outpatient Surgery for a textbook procedure.
On each occasion the greeters were friendly, the nursing and operating personnel were very professional and courteous. Being in the hands of Dr. Daniel Yoder created an air of excellence and confidence, which is always a plus for any operation. As each eye is done two weeks apart, one has the opportunity to go through everything twice. At no time did I feel that there was any departure of the professionalism from one visit to the next.
On my final wheelchair ride out of the complex, I couldn't help but realize that one could not get any better care anywhere else.

EQIP is a voluntary conservation program from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). EQIP provides technical assistance, and incentive payments to assist crop, livestock, and other agricultural producers with environmental, conservation and energy improvements to their operations. This assistance is to help landowners implement structural, vegetative, management practices, and Conservation Activity Plans (CAP).
Some common practices in Yellow Medicine county are grassed waterways, water and sediment control basins, terraces, nutrient management, pest management, no till, strip till, closure of waste impoundments, conservation crop rotation, tree and shrub establishment, seasonal high tunnels, drainage water management, windbreaks/shelterbelts, native prairie seeding, prescribed burning, and rotational grazing systems consisting of fence, pipeline, well, water tanks, and pasture seeding.
Some new practices offered for 2013 are the Conservation Activity Plans (CAP) for Farmstead Energy Improvements, Agricultural Energy Management, Grazing Management, Fish & Wildlife Habitat Management, and Pollinator Habitat. There are also CAP's for Nutrient Management, Forest Management, Integrated Pest Management, Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan, Drainage Water Management, and Irrigation Water Management Plant. Many practices now require a Conservation Activity Plan (CAP) be completed before applying for the a specific practice. All CAP's must be completed by a Technical Service Provider (TSP).
We are currently accepting applications for the EQIP Programs. If you have interest in this program, please contact our office as soon as possible so we can begin planning. The first ranking period is January 18, 2013. There will be additional ranking periods to follow, depending on the availability of funds. Early planning this winter will be ideal in order to get the best possible chance of funding for your application.
If you have any questions about EQIP, please contact Cory Walker or Jon Paul Pringle at the NRCS office in Clarkfield at (320) 669-4442 ext 3.

-The silencer (... it's good quality, but it can easily break the threaded barrel on the gun. I personally wouldn't use it, but if you want to -be careful!)
-Size (Some people might say this gun is "too big" but it is after all, a replica of an MK23 which is a large handgun in real life.)
-Heavy shooting curve (can be fixed with heavier bb's)
Hope this helped!
- Totally worth the moneyWhether you're plinking or in a war this is a great gun/sidearm. I recommend using any kind of .23 for the best range:fps ratio. I also have the version 1 to this gun which was almost the same thing besides the grip. The original version had more of a 45 grip and not a Glock grip. I really recommend not using the suppressor. Okay it looks cool but it takes down the range and it WILL eventually bust your barrel. I was always gentle with mine until my cousin dropped it. It was broke when it hit the ground and now it has a range of ~50 feet.
Overall a great gun although I do not recommend using the suppressor at all. The range really is astounding on this gun. Great for beginners or anyone on a tight budget.
Thanks for reading!
- EPIC AWESOMESAUCE!I am going to start by saying, I also have a UTG MK23 as well. This pistol is close to perfection. I used it at a recent event in Wyoming where I was driving a technical, I got at least 2 kills with this.
I was shooting KSC .30 Perfect BB's and this was spot on. It is incredibly comfortable in the hand and very pointable. I can see the plastic construction and the fact that it is a springer being a downside to some people but as long as you focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship you really shouldn't need to make a follow up shot.
Weaver Rail
Magazine Capacity
VERY Pointable
Comfortable in the the hand
Rate of fire (for some)
Rate of fire (for some)
Plastic Construction (again, for some, it does cut down on weight though)
- Great back-up for any airsofterOk, first things first. It's a spring pistol, so you can't expect anything too fantastic. HOWEVER, this gun is different. What I look for in a pistol is durability and performance, naturally. This gun has both and hit's the nail right on the head, lacking slightly on the durability side, being entirely plastic. It's has a construction that is simple, yet very function-able and eye-appealing.
The power is decent and just enough too let your target know he's been hit, but that's not what I personally like most about this gun. The range is great at around 120 to 135 ft., making this a great back-up for any position on the team that lacks range in his primary, (sub-machine gunner or shotgunner).
magazine capacity
beside the extra mag, there are no more to purchase from my knowledge
it's a bit large and may not fit in some holsters
mag release isn't created for lefties (not a problem for me though, being a righty and all)
HEAVY shot curve (is easily fixed with heavier BB's)
constructed entirely of plastic
nothing else that I can think of...
P.S. the extra mag thrown in is a life saver and the mock suppressor was constructed of a tough metal and really was the icing on the cake for me (didn't actually affect sound, but for free who can complain)
GhilleMan out...
- This is soooooooooo awesome!!!!!!OK so i just got this in the mail. First off totally sick.I love this gun, it looks so cool, it's powerful, and accurate. There is a wicked hop up on this gun so even .25g start to hop a little. I recommend .28g. Also it comes with dual mags and suppressor.
Powerful (for a spring pistol its great)
Looks cool
Nice hop up
Big mag cap
Comes with 2 mags and suppressor
Pretty cheap
Can't adjust the hop up but still isn't that too much of a con at least you can use .25g or .28g.
Overall i would recommend this as a secondary if you don't want to buy new gas all the time. It's probably the best spring handgun on shortys.
- Great spring pistolI bought this for my friend, for her birthday, and she LOVES it! I can see why, it's a very solid feeling gun and comes with an extra mag and a suppressor. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to see how it works in the field, but considering its sturdy construction and seemingly smooth functioning, I'm sure it will do fine.
The only thing I would warn people about is the size - this thing is a beast. I have big hands and I even found it a bit oversize. To me this just adds to the coolness factor though, so it's all good!
- okishI've had the first model for about a year but it broke after a few months. the spring shot out and the mag won't stay in the gun. it was very powerful but broke easily. i have not been able to find the replacement parts for it and i would recommend getting as a short term gun.
- Great spring pistol This was my first pistol and i 100% recommend it to all. It is pretty big but is sweet as long as it is taken care off this pistol will last forever!!!

A truly incredible identity from Bureau Rabensteiner for an Vienna-based photo producer. The stationery is unlike anything I've seen before - the black varnish fades at body temperature, so when you hold any of the pieces in your hands you leave your own individual imprint. I'd spend all day playing with that business card!

Video FAQ
1. What do I need to watch your videos on my mobile phone?
First, you will need a phone with data access capabilities, a web browser and the ability to display video in either WMV, QuickTime, or 3G format. On some phones you'll see a link marked "Web," "Internet," or "Browser" as soon as the phone is powered up. The link may also be named after your particular phone provider's service.
Secondly, you need to key-in the following address: http://www.wtok.com/mobi. Be sure to bookmark this address for future use. If you need help bookmarking the address, consult your phone's user manual.
Then just browse to the news page and look for video links at the top of the stories.
2. What is "High Speed" wireless access?
High speed access refers to services provided by wireless carriers that allow for a large amount of data to be sent quickly to the phone. Different carriers use different formats and names for their high speed data access. Some of the services are referred to generically as "3G" or 3rd Generation. AT&T has EDGE and GPRS services, while Verizon has VCast. Sprint calls their service the Power Vision Network. T-Mobile Internet is the data access service from T-Mobile. Other carriers may use other terms.
3. Can I use it with my wireless carrier?
This depends on your wireless carrier, their local network capabilities and the phone you use. Most carriers now offer high speed data access to certain phones, and that is what you will need in order to see the streaming video. Some carriers may block streaming video access on some phones, so if you get an error when viewing a video, check with your carrier to make sure you should be able to see the video. Contact your wireless carrier if you have any questions about their available services and the fees for those services.
4. How much does it cost to use?
News and Other videos are offered free of charge through our WAP site. Your wireless provider may charge you for the data stream needed to view the videos, so check with your provider about costs associated with watching videos. You may want to ask them about the possibility of an unlimited access plan.
5. How does it work?
Local news and other videos are available with certain news items. If you see a video link at the top of the article, just click it and, if your phone is compatible, the video will launch automatically. It may take a little while for the video to start, depending on the format used, the size of the total file, and the currently available speed on your carrier's network.
6. How big are the video files? How long will it take for me to start seeing the video?
The video files vary in size depending on the format used and the length of the clip. We optimize the clips to be as small as possible without sacrificing viewability. It may take a few moments for a clip to start. Most providers charge for data access by the kilobyte, not the minute, but you need to check with your carrier to find out how they charge.
7. Can I access my local news from anywhere?
You can access local news and other video from anywhere in the world that has a high speed cell network available from your carrier. We do not restrict access in any way, but you may be unable to see the video if you are in a place with no high speed networks available, or in a place that your wireless provider does not cover.
8. How do I sign up? Do I have to subscribe to something?
There is no subscription and no fees for the service. All you need to do is go to our mobile website and click on the video links.
9. Why does my mobile video seem choppy? The video doesn't work when I am in the suburbs, or mall, or park. Why is that?
Video services work using high speed cell networks to provide the data to your phone. If you are in an area that does not have high speed coverage, the videos may not work because of the amount of time it will take to download them. Also, if the carrier signal is interrupted or broken up in an area, then the video will not download as quickly or stream as seamlessly.
10. Why does my screen suddenly appear dark?
Most phones have a function that darkens or turns off the screen after a certain period of inactivity. Since you are watching a video and not pressing any buttons, you have probably gone past that period. Check your phone's manual to see how to lengthen the time before the screen darkens.
11. How come the picture does not fill my entire screen?
Our videos are optimized for the majority of compatible phones. If your phone has an unusual screen size or shape, then the video may not fill the whole screen. Most of our videos are designed to display on screens that are 220 X 180 pixels in size.
12. Why am I seeing only a part of the video window? Why does the video look so big?
If your phone has a screen that is smaller than the video size (usually 220 x 180) then you may see only a portion of the video, usually with the edges and top cut off. Your phone may have a function to shrink websites so that they fit within the screen. Check your user manual to see if your phone has this, and try turning it on if the video is too wide or tall.
13. Can I take a call or receive a message while I'm watching TV?
This depends on the phone and the wireless carrier. Certain phones will not interrupt the video stream for a phone call or an incoming message. If your wireless service includes voicemail, calls will go to voicemail.
14. What exactly is data access?
Data access allows you to browse the web via your handheld device. Using your mobile web browser typically won't use up minutes on your calling plan, but you'll need a data plan in order to use a Web browser on your phone. Check with your carrier for specific pricing details. Coverage may differ depending on your carrier and phone.
15. How do I Launch the website from a Text Message?
Open the text message that was sent to your phone.
Select http://www.wtok.com/mobi using your phone keypad and press OK or GO in most cases the phone will automatically use the embedded link that is inside the text message. You'll see the WTOK Mobile home page, ready for you to enjoy.
Add WTOK Mobile to your mobile bookmarks using the "Options" or "Menu" softkey.
16. How do I Launch the website from my Cell Phone Browser?
Launch the mobile Internet browser on your phone.
Select the "Go to URL" or "Open new link" option using the "Menu" or "Options" softkey on your phone.
Enter http://www.wtok.com/mobi using your phone keypad and press OK or GO (there's no need to enter http:// on most cell phone or PDA broswers). You'll see the WHSV Mobile home page, ready for you to enjoy.
Add WTOK Mobile to your mobile bookmarks using the "Options" or "Menu" softkey.
17. How do I know if my mobile phone will support web browsing?
You can check phone compatibility from this website, just by clicking "Check my Phone" on the previous page. Consult your user's manual or check with your telephone manufacturer if you have any questions about specific features. Our list of compatible phones is based on information from the various carriers. Some new phones may not have been added yet.
18. I've accessed the WTOK Mobile Web site, but I'm having problems getting the system to respond.
Check to see if you can access other URLs. If not, you may be out of the area covered by your service provider. If you can access other URLs, there may be a temporary problem with the site. Try again later. If the problem persists, however, send us an e-mail at email@example.com.
19. I can see the video link in a news story, but when I click on it I get an error message
Some carriers block certain phones from receiving streaming content, such as our videos. If you get an error message, check with your carrier to make sure your phone should be capable of seeing the video. If your carrier says you should be able to see the video with your phone, please email us at email@example.com and let us know who your carrier is, what phone you have, and what the error message was.

Kristen K. Brown has been featured on TV, radio print and online across the country and she will be seen on "Live with Kelly and Michael" on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 9 a.m. on KSTP, Channel 5.
Brown, the former Kristen Larson, a 1994 Montevideo High School graduate, has written two books — "The Best Worst Thing" and "The Happy Hour Effect: 12 Secrets to Minimize Stress and Maximize Life" — that have both hit the Amazon bestseller list.
Brown's first book chronicles chronicles her journey through her early years of widowhood, following the death of her husband, Todd Brown, a 1995 MHS graduate.
It was through writing "The Best Worst Thing" that Brown discovered her true calling of writing and speaking to inspire others. She started a company called Happy Hour Effect that helps people to minimize stress and maximize life despite the challenges that come along every day.
"The viewership for 'Live' is 3.5 million, so to say I'm excited and nervous at the same time is an understatement," said Brown. "I'm so honored to be able to share my expertise with Kelly and Michael's audience and to impact the world in a positive way. This appearance will help me do that in a big way so I can really drive home my Happy Hour Effect Revolution."

Seen the movie of the year yet? As a designer, of course the first thing I looked at when all the trailers and collateral were released for The Great Gatsby was the creative campaign. What do you think about it? Like Minded Studio have released a little bit of the process behind the final logo. Do you prefer any of their earlier solutions?

OAKLAND -- More than six weeks after her brain-dead daughter was moved from Children's Hospital Oakland to an undisclosed location, the mother of Jahi McMath broke her silence in a letter released Wednesday on Twitter.
The 13-year-old Oakland girl was declared brain-dead Dec. 12 after when she developed complications following a Dec. 9 tonsil, nose and throat surgery for sleep apnea and went into cardiac arrest. The case drew international attention as the family battled with hospital officials for weeks and then went to court, seeking to keep the girl on a ventilator and to have breathing and feeding tubes surgically inserted.
Weeks of negotiations and courtroom battles between the family's attorney and hospital officials finally yielded a deal to move the girl from the hospital. On Jan. 5, she was taken to an undisclosed out-of-state facility, where her family said she had remained on a ventilator.
Once Jahi was moved on Jan. 5, her family went silent. The letter, released by Jahi's uncle, Omari Sealey, through his Twitter account, thanks those who supported the family through donations and prayer during their ordeal.
"So many people have asked how we are doing and if Jahi is alive," wrote Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield. "This has and continues to be an unbelievably difficult time for me as a mother and for us as a family.
"However, I have not been alone. I have been surrounded by the love, support and prayers of so many kind people. Despite what people say about my daughter being dead and how I must be ignorant not to get that, I can tell you that she is much better physically since she has left Children's Hospital and I see changes that give me hope."
Sealey declined to give specifics on Jahi's condition, or say where she is.
"(Jahi's mother) wanted me to get the letter out because there's been a lot of speculation," Sealey said. "There's been a lot of people, supporters, wanting to know what's going on. We want people to know (Jahi is) OK."
Multiple medical experts have repeatedly said no medical tools or procedures can bring Jahi back from brain death, and that organ failure is likely to occur at some point, even with Jahi on a ventilator and a feeding tube.
In the letter, Winkfield said it was because of supporters' "unselfish generosity" that she was able to move Jahi from Children's Hospital Oakland before doctors there removed her from her ventilator. Thousands of dollars in donations offset the cost of medical transportation to Jahi's new home.
"If I had it my way, I would say thank you to each and every person in their native language so they could understand how much I appreciate them for all their support and, most importantly, prayers," Winkfield wrote.

- Co2 is all the same.It is all the same. It all has to do with the price. This is the best price on shorty, and I buy all my airsoft equipment from them. If you can find them for a better price, let me know because I have yet to do so.
- Best priceBasically Co2 is just that and it works the same but this is a better price than the larger box of 20 because if you do the math the lcm for 18 and 10 is 90 and for 90 dollars with this deal you get 108 Co2 ,but with the other deal you get 100 Co2 for 90 dollars so in the long run this will save you money

Doughnuts to dollars: Krispy Kreme Challenge is Saturday
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 4:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 4:27 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Run a mile, eat a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts and run another mile. This isn't a fraternity dare, it's the Krispy Kreme Challenge, a fundraiser for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters and the YMCA.
About the event
When: 8:30 a.m. Saturday
How to enter: visit tuscaloosakrispykremechallenge.eventbrite.com.
The two-mile race, with nearly 500 runners expected to participate, will begin at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the University Orthopaedic Clinic, 305 Paul W. Bryant Drive. Participants can preregister online at tuscaloosakrispykremechallenge.eventbrite.com through today for $25. Registration on Saturday will be limited and the cost will be $35.
Inspired by Big Brothers Big Sisters as a way to "spice up" its annual race, the Krispy Kreme challenge is open to casual runners, as well as those who want to compete for cash prizes provided by Innisfree Irish Pub, said Danielle McInerny, CEO and executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Among those prizes are nylon sports bags from Bryant Bank and T-shirts for the first 500 registered. All participants will have a chance to win a Kindle Fire and Chuck's Fish or Five Bar gift certificates.
Runners and spectators can also expect to see local notables such as University of Alabama mascot Big Al, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox and members of the University of Alabama gymnastics, cheerleading and football teams. The response from UA students has been greater than expected, McInerny said.
"We never expected them to come to us and offer to help," she said. "It's really renewed my faith in college students."
Several sororities and fraternities are competing to have the largest number of participants. Members of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Kappa Sigma have been particularly involved in volunteering, and members will also run on Saturday, said Walt Larisey, CEO of the Tuscaloosa YMCA.
Many sorority members have become big sisters over the last few months and are excited to help fund the program with the fundraiser Saturday, said Kelly Hite, a Kappa at UA and a big sister through Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"This event is extremely important for the program because they need money to get kids off of their wait list," Hite said. "I have been a big (sister) for about three months now, and it has already made a difference in my life, so I want more and more people to be able to have that experience."
While Big Brothers Big Sisters has been able to fund many pairings already, this event will greatly help match students with mentors, McInerny said. The cost of pairing a child for one year is about $600, she said.
All proceeds will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the YMCA. Krispy Kreme will donate the doughnuts for the event, McInerny said. Though similar Krispy Kreme Challenges are held each year, other Krispy Kremes do not supply the doughnuts for free.
"It's a new event, but the response has been better than expected," Larisey said. "It supports a local business destroyed by the (April 27, 2011) tornado and is a good way to incorporate many people in the community."
The YMCA will use money raised to help fund their programs and scholarships for local youths.
To be eligible for the cash prizes — $300 for first place, $200 for second and $100 for third — participants must eat all dozen doughnuts in the middle of the race. However, participants may eat as many, or few, as they wish.

2 bills vetoed by NC governor to become law anyway
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 12:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 12:04 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Two bills vetoed by Gov. Pat McCrory will become law anyway now that the General Assembly has formally canceled them.
The Senate voted to override the vetoes by comfortable margins Wednesday morning, a day after the House did the same thing. The Senate took less than 10 minutes on both bills.
The legislation requires drug-testing for welfare recipients and creates a wider exemption for employers to calculate whether they must access a federal database to determine the legal status of new hires.
The overrides are a blow to McCrory, who actively lobbied legislators to uphold his vetoes. He says the drug-testing bill would not be cost effective. He said the veto on the E-Verify program would allow immigrants in the country illegally to take jobs.

Boys' Preschool adidas D Rose 3.5 Basketball Shoes
Buy Online & Pick Up In-Store
Are you a Derrick Rose fan? We sure are, and so are the folks at adidas. That's probably why they've whipped up these adidas D Rose 3.5 Kids' Basketball Shoes inspired by the Chicago Bulls player himself.
An update on the D Rose 3.0, these kicks sport the same build as their predecessor, but have a bit of extra technology. What's new? The toe cap has some added flair, with a new webbed design. The ankle is now made of full leather, as opposed to the fabric that graces the ankle of the D Rose 3.0. What's the same? The lightweight synthetic leather upper, SPRINTWEB and SPRINTFRAME stability and soft EVA cushioning are still found on these shoes. Oh, and they're also miCoach compatible, which sweetens the deal.
The adidas Rose 3.5 Kids' Basketball Shoes are what separates an MVP from all of the rest.

- Saved my lifeHonestly, when a friend threw this in with an airsoft package he assembled for me and told me what it was for, I honestly thought I wasn't gonna need to use it. But, I definitely ate my words.
The next week, I went out to a war with that very same friend. He had a G&G M60E4 variant, and I had an M4 Carbine type rifle (forgot exactly what, �cause I had to replace it a while ago) which weighed A TON with all the attachments I had and the loaded high-cap. I also had this Sling Swivel attached to it. Anyway, the war was a 12 v 12, and was a siege type game. We were attacking in a CQB environment. During the engagement, since the other team had a couple guys with MP5 AEG's and Mac 10 and 11 GBB's, and the rest had springers, they raped in the CQB part and took out 5 of our men while we took out three of theirs. We forced them into retreat because my friend laid down a huge volley of fire with his 2,500 rd box mag. Then we went into field combat, and we had the advantage because we were using mostly M14 and M16 variants. A couple of us had M324's, but we only had one now �cause the others were taken out. Anyway, our FO (Forward Observer) told us that tango's were seen leaving and entering a bushed area about a 250 yards to our 9 o clock. Most of our remaining men took the direct path (a beaten out dirt road, the same one the enemy took), while myself and another member of the team cut through a densely wooded area that was much shorter than going along the path. We stayed about 30 feet away from the enemy encampment until we were sure that our comrades had started their frontal assault. We weren't there about 5 minutes before my friend radioed me and told me that most of them were either down or heavily suppressed by enemy fire. We were given the directive to roll through and provide assist. However, my partner's radio was extremely loud and some nearby patrolmen heard us. We realized they only had springers and started a frontal attack. Just then, my partner was hit, and my sling got caught on a stray tree branch and left me open for attack. Then it hit me: I was using the sling swivel, and so, I hit the quick release button and pulled my M4 free. I laid down some automatic fire and took out both of the attackers.
For those of you still dragging on about the war story itself, the ending was not good. We essentially walked into an ambush. We lost all our men while they only lost 7. It seemed like they were smart enough to know not to use springers, but they packed a heck of a lot of ammunition with them. The point of that extremely long story was to explain how this item might not seem all that useful to you at one point, but it will prove itself when it matters most. I can probably bet that most of you reading this have gotten into a situation like that before. So for pretty cheap, buy a couple and put �em on your AEG's (or just one if you only have one AEG)

Silverthorne resident Elisabeth Perry is an articulate, engaging young woman who readily admits she has an obsession.
"I don't know anybody else who is my kind of crazy," said Perry. "Mentally, it's a whole lot more than most people want to take on."
That's an understatement. Like many people in the West, Perry loves the outdoors. What separates her from more mainstream outdoors enthusiasts is her need for extended stays in the wild. For Perry, it isn't really a hiking trek unless it lasts for months.
"I have always known I want to undertake great adventures," said Perry.
In that spirit, during both 2011 and 2012, she tackled the Pacific Crest Trail. That's a 2,670-mile hike that runs from Mexico to Canada and covers climates ranging form arid deserts to snowcapped mountains. Why did she do it twice? Because in 2011, she was stopped a mere 300 miles from the trail's conclusion so she returned home to Colorado, spent a few months working and saving, and then she took off again in 2012 to complete the hike.
"This year I got to Canadian border exactly five months after I left from Mexico," said Perry. "Before I left, everyone said, 'Why not just finish the last 300 miles?' But I said that wouldn't count."
Perry will present tales and pictures from her Pacific Crest Trail adventures during a special program at the Eagle Public Library Monday. While her story is framed by those two hiking adventures, it's also a tale of how her soul craves extended time on the trail.
Perry was born in Chicago and her family moved around the country often during her childhood. Her mother and father enjoyed hiking and camping and passed that love on to their daughter - a bit more vehemently than they realized.
"My parents are the reason why I have such a great respect for the outdoors, but I don't think they ever envisioned me trekking thousands of miles across the world," Perry said.
In 2001, Perry moved to Colorado and she graduated from Metro State University with a bachelor's degree in social work. She also earned an outdoor education degree from Colorado Mountain College. During her spare time, she enjoyed climbing, snowboarding, ice climbing and backpacking. But she found those adventures were too small for her taste. Then in 2008 she decided to hike the Colorado Trail.
"It's only 500 miles, and that just wasn't long enough for me," said Perry.
She doesn't remember when she first heard about the Pacific Crest Trail, but she decided that the 2,670-mile trek was calling her. She talked her dad into dropping her off at the U.S./Mexico boarder in April 2011 and she started hiking. The trip would take six months.
"It was a record snow year, so part of the challenges were greater in 2011," said Perry. She perfected her traveling routine and gear - a 12-pound pack that includes a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothing, a camp stove, weather gear and food. She tried to camp near water that she could filter for her hydration needs, and mapped out plans to resupply every five to 12 days.
During her resupply breaks, she would call her parents, grab a shower and eat ice cream.
"You have to have that kind of balance when you are on the trail," said Perry. Every 500 miles or so, she would have to replace her hiking boots.
Perry found she could walk between 20 and 30 miles per day and that life on the trail was simple but not monotonous. She would wake up between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. and take an hour off midday to rest and write in her journal. She'd finish her day between 6 and 8 p.m., set up camp, filter her water, eat and climb into bed. While she would frequently meet up with other hikers and spend time on the trail with them, she didn't have a trail-long hiking companion.
"You have to be 100 percent self reliant," she explained.
You also have to be smart. Perry had made it all the way to Washington back in 2011 when day after day of harsh weather convinced her to halt her hike.
"Being wet and cold for weeks is just stupid," she said. "I just couldn't get dry and sometimes you have to just step back and listen to Mother Nature. As much as I loved what I was I doing, when Mother Nature says stop, you have to respect that."
She was down, but not out. In 2012, Perry decided to tackle the Pacific Crest Trail again. This time she finished the hike, so in total she has hiked more than 5,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Her least favorite trail section was dusty, dry northern California. Her favorites were found along the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascades. At the end of the journey, she was faced with a dilemma. How could she find an adventure to top the one she just finished?
Perry does not think small and her next adventure will dwarf the one she just finished. In 2014, she hopes to begin a four-year hiking trek from Barrow, Alaska, (the most northern North America city) to Terra del Fuego (the archipelago located off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland). Along the way she plans to do community service and bring attention to the work of the CASA organization (see related sidebar).
These days Perry is working and saving money for her next great adventure. She presents slide shows detailing her Pacific Crest Trail journeys and tells audiences about her Alaska to Argentina plans. She is researching the route she will take and laying the groundwork for the message she hopes to carry.
"My dad says, 'So you want to be like Mother Teresa with a backpack?'" said Perry. "I tell him that's about right."
A friend plans to make the trek with her and the journey will also include biking through Mexico and sea kayaking in Central America. One leg of her journey will find Perry hiking along the Continental Divide, just a few miles from her home.
That four-year trek is Perry's biggest dream yet, but she is a go-big-or-go-home kind of person.
"It is pretty crazy, I know. Hopefully, it's just not insane," she said.

Officials downplay teacher-retirement concerns
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 7:33 p.m.
After a year of changes and overhauls, state education officials are downplaying worries that teachers are retiring in larger numbers.
Due to a typo, a previous version of this story misstated the number of teachers in Terrebonne Parish. Terrebonne Parish employs almost 1,800 teachers.
The concerns started earlier this month when the Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana reported that retirements had increased by 25 percent last year.
That report led to speculation that laws passed in 2012 are driving teachers out of schools en masse. The laws make it more difficult for teachers to earn tenure, judge their performance on complex new evaluations based on student test scores, and revamp the curriculum they teach, among other changes.
But, in a news conference Monday, state Superintendent John White said those numbers don't tell the whole story.
"There is not in any cause for concern regarding overall attrition of teachers," White said. "The idea that the reforms are pushing out top teachers is simply untrue."
White said that, though retirements might be up in one year, they still only make up about 1 percent of teachers statewide.
He also pointed out that retirements are only one of many ways a teacher can leave the school system, so, even if retirements are up, overall teacher loss may stay steady.
Overall, White said the state lost 12 percent of its teachers in the 2011-12 school year, the same as the year before and one percentage point more than the year prior to that.
The new laws at issue passed in the spring of 2012; data for the current year, 2012-13, isn't available yet.
There's some evidence that teachers in Terrebonne Parish are retiring in larger numbers than average, but school officials say it's hard to pick out a solid trend.
In Terrebonne Parish, 77 teachers retired last year, according to Personnel Supervisor Debra Yarbrough. That's the highest number in the past four years, and 27 teachers more than the 50 who retired last year.
School Superintendent Philip Martin said it's unwise to read too much into those numbers, however.
"The number of people retiring from year to year fluctuates, sometimes by a large amount," he said. "It's too early to say this is a trend that is worrying us."
Martin said the retirements haven't been a major problem for his district because they make up a small percentage of almost 1,800 teachers in the parish.
"Putting the right teacher in the right place is always something that we have to work hard at," Martin said. "But retirements have not caused us any problems we don't normally see."
In Lafourche Parish, the trend is even less noticeable. In the 2011-12 school year, 40 teachers retired; 15 more than 2009-10 but only four more than 2009-10.
"I haven't seen a noticeable spike in the number of retirements," said Louis Voiron, Lafourche's personnel supervisor. "We may have seen a few people retiring a little early but not in any large numbers."
Voiron said it's probably too early to tell if the changes will cause teachers to leave the profession in significant numbers.
"This is our first year of implementation," Voiron said. "We'll have a better idea at the end of this semester of whether or not these changes are going to lead to more retirements."

Local auto parts plant increasing production
ISE Innomotive Systems will add about 25 employees
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 11:29 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | As Mercedes-Benz gears up to begin production of its first American-made C-Class sedans later this year in Vance, area automotive suppliers are beefing up their production of parts that will go into the new line of vehicles.
The latest to do so is ISE Inno-motive Systems U.S. Inc. It is adding new equipment at its plant at Tuscaloosa Airport Industrial Park at a cost of $5,782,000.
The new equipment will increase production and employment at ISE, which will add about 25 employees to its operations next year, said Dana B. Vails, the plant's chief financial officer, controller and IT manager.
The company's increased investment and the additional manufacturing jobs qualified it for $370,000 in local tax abatements for the plant improvements. The abatements were approved Thursday by the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority and include breaks on local sales and property taxes related to the investments.
ISE opened its Tuscaloosa plant in 2003, making front and rear bumpers for the Mercedes SUVs assembled in Vance, Vails said. It later started making components for other automakers, including rollover part systems for Volkswagen's auto plant in Mexico.
The new equipment coming into the plant will be used mostly to make structural pillars for the C-Class, she said. The structural pillars support the roof of the car and help prevent roofs from collapsing in rollover accident.
The ISE project was the first to come before the industrial development authority this year, but Dara Longgrear, TCIDA's executive director, told board members that he is optimistic about other projects in which companies are considering locating in Tuscaloosa.
Longgrear did not identify the companies, but he said one that is considering Tuscaloosa wants to build a $45 million plant that would create about 390 jobs. TCIDA's undeveloped 75-acre tract at the Airport Industrial Park could be used for such a plant, he said. Before that site could be used, Tuscaloosa would have to invest about $1.6 million to extend sewer and water lines and related infrastructure.

A Bethel Acres woman saved her dogs after returning home to discover her house was on fire Monday morning, but the fire spread quickly and the home is a total loss. No injuries were reported.
Bethel Acres Fire Chief Richelle Treece said the fire occurred at 17207 Highway 102, with firefighters responding to the scene just before 9 a.m.
The homeowner left her home to run errands Monday morning, but when she returned, she opened the door and "smoke came pouring out," Treece said.
"She hollered for her dogs and got them out," Treece said, and then called 911.
Volunteer fire crews from Bethel called for automatic aid from Shawnee, Treece said, and about six crews members from each department arrived to battle the blaze.
Treece said the fire was likely smoldering inside the house for quite some time while the homeowner was away, but when the door was opened, oxygen allowed the fire to quickly spread.
Cause of the fire is officially listed as undetermined, although Treece said the homeowner had been using the fireplace and put the last log on the fire sometime overnight.
The 3,000 square foot brick home was a total loss, Treece said, adding the home was insured.
Treece said crews used a portable drop tank to collect water from tankers to fight the blaze. She estimated crews used about 20,000 gallons of water.

— The Together for Health Dental Center (TFHDC), part of Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC), is utilizing its new portable equipment to bring preventive dental care to children enrolled in area Head Start programs. The bi-annual onsite visits are scheduled by Public Health Dental Hygiene Practitioner Lori Wood, a registered dental hygienist and Community Dental Health Coordinator (CDHC) employed by TFHDC and Donna Redmon, Head Start health coordinator for Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike and Susquehanna counties.
Some students including Tina Diaz's 3-year-old son, Christian, of Carbondale, never had a dental exam prior to this appointment.
According to his mother, Christian wasn't nervous when she explained to him what would happen the evening before the visit. "I just told him they were going to brush his teeth. And, also let him know if he was eating too much candy," she said with a laugh.
Although this occasion may have been a first time experience for some students, the relationship between the dental professionals at the TFHDC and Head Start is not new.
In the past, students age 3 to 5-years-old whose parents gave consent for treatment were taken out of school and traveled to the dental center located in Honesdale.
"We were transporting the kids to the Together for Health Dental Center from Honesdale, Hawley and Pike Head Starts. We needed to take them on the bus at the expense of Head Start," stated Redmon.
However, with Wood's completion of an 18-month program sponsored by the American Dental Association to become a CDHC, services are offered directly within the school environment.
Redmon recognizes the benefit of mobile services not only from a financial aspect, but also as a means of reducing anxiety for young patients by allowing them to remain within their own element.
"This is much better. The kids aren't going into a big office with a big chair. The equipment is conducive to their size," stated Redmon. "Lori lets them be part of the exam. They get to hold the toothbrush and toothpaste. She's great with the kids," she added.
Since the mobile services were rolled out in December of last year, over 40 Head Start children have been treated by Wood in her new role as a CDHC. However, that is only the beginning.

TFHDC is part of WMCHC, a federally qualified health center clinically affiliated with Wayne Memorial Health System. The full service dental center accepts PA Blue Shield–United Concordia, PA Medical Assistance, PA Blue CHIP, Delta Dental of PA, Denta Quest and many other plans. A slide fee scale based on income is also available for those who qualify. For more information, please call 570-251-6534 or visit us at www.wmh.org/WMCHC.
