Harvested by hand and sun dried, flor de sal is one of the most coveted sea salts in the world. Produced in the same manner near the Bay of Cádiz for thousands of years, flor de sal is light and fluffy - perfect for use in a wide variety of recipes. Flor de sal's versatility makes it an essential seasoning in both home and professional kitchens worldwide.
Blended with a touch of sweet Muscat wine, this unusual black salt has a mild flavor perfect for grilled or roasted vegetables, salads and fish. A pinch of this black flor de sal scattered across a platter of grilled fish or a mixed green salad makes a stunning presentation!
Muscat wine, also known as Moscatel, is a sweet white wine with a bright aromatic, fruity flavor. It is traditionally produced in Spanish wine regions near the Mediterranean sea. Blended with sea salt, it adds a subtly sweet, fruity taste. This sea salt is also mixed with a tiny amount of natural charcoal (0.085%), purely to create its striking appearance.
Salina San Vicente is one of the last remaining companies producing salt in the salt fields above the Bay of Cádiz. Manuel Ruiz, his wife Reglín and their children are the fourth generation of the Ruiz family to run Salina San Vicente.
For the last 3,000 years, numerous civilizations have used these small salt flats in the Bay of Cádiz. Only 60 acres in diameter, the flats take advantage of strong, constant winds from the Sahara Desert in Africa that facilitate the evaporation of seawater.
To harvest the salt of Salina San Vicente, briny seawater from the Bay of Cádiz is channeled into elongated ponds, where it remains for about six weeks. During this time, the salt is concentrated through evaporation and the salt acts as a natural purifier - leaving a very clean saline water that will eventually produce flor de sal.
The saline water constantly flows from one pond to another through gravity. No machinery or water pumps are necessary to facilitate the process.
The salt harvest begins in the hot months of July and August each year. Every evening, flor de sal, or 'flower of the salt', is gathered from the surface of the water. Clean and delicate, with a unique flavor, flor de sal delights food lovers around the world. After hand picking, the flor de sal is sun dried and sieved to remove all impurities. The salt is never washed and contains trace minerals including iodine, iron and calcium.

David Irving, Holocaust Denial, and his Connections to Right Wing Extremists and Neo-National Socialism (Neo-Nazism) in Germany: Electronic Edition, by Hajo FunkeTable of Contents
|<< 5.8 OPC observations 1992...
|< 5.1 1989: 'German histori...
5.9 1993: expulsion
5.9.1.Irving's diaries and documentation for 1993 being fragmentary, we will suffice ourselves with summarising the little that is reconstructable.
5.9.2.Between 11/12 - 14 January Irving was in Germany and Austria in the company of Althans and Susie Töpler.461 On 14 January spoke in Munich to a meeting of 'the friends of Ernst Zündel' organised by Althans, where Irving received a partial speaking ban.462
5.9.3.Sometime between 17-23 May an international meeting was organised by Christophersen, which Irving would have appeared to have agreed to attend, if the event had not been cancelled because of adverse publicity.463
5.9.4On 26 June a conspirative meeting was planned by Worch for Irving outside Hamburg, although Worch refused to fax Irving exact details for fear of observation.464 Irving recorded, 'Good speech on the problems and vicissitudes of the last twelve months; no police presence (I hope) so I spoke freely.'465 On 27 June Irving spoke to the 'Association for Culture and Contemporary History' ['Verein für Kultur und Zeitgeschichte,'] in Hamburg organised by Ulrich Harder.466 On 5 July a meeting had been planned with Althans, which Irving himself apparently called off.467
5.9.5.On 3 July Irving spoke to a NPD meeting in Mainburg. In his diary he wrote, 'Police presence, usual teilweise Redeverbot [partial speaking ban] handed to me. Backed up an hour later by warning that if I read it out I would be arrested. Democracies!'468 The ban was apparently based on that handed down to Irving in Munich on 11 January 1993.469 Interesting in this context is what Irving then said to the audience. Irving told the audience that he was banned from explaining his theses 'But that is not important. Because I am convinced that most of you knew what I would talk to you about, what my theses are, what I would say [laughter, applause]'470 Even when banned, Irving's mere presence and innuendo was enough to spread the denialist cause.
5.9.6.On 9 November Irving started a tour arranged by the AVÖ's Wiesel, arranged to start in Munich and Baden Württemberg and end in Dresden.471 Whilst in Munich he was requested to quit the country by the German authorities.472 Irving recorded the next two days in his diary.
Arranged dinner at Mövenpick [with Töpler] at 9 p. m.. Ten minutes later a Kriminalkommissar [police officer] Wolf of the Staatsschutz [security service] and a female officer arrived brandishing a thick envelope containing two copies of a 33pp. Aufenthaltsverbot [residency ban] issued against me and date stamped today, November 9. That's torn it. I read it through at leisure, and heard him remark that he had something even grimmer to do (or hand me) as soon as I had read it. He sent the female out to get it; I nonchalently said I would of course have to phone my lawyer Herrmann, and rose to get his number from the car. "You're coming back?" asked the officer, and I said yes, before climbing into the car and speeding off, nearly colliding with a pack of Jews at the local Kristallnacht memorial. Drove to Wiesel's headquarter and left a message to him to meet me at Hotel Drei Löwen. Then phoned Susie [Töpler] and using coded language changed rendez-vous to same place ("the place where I gave you that pen"). Wiesel turned up and I took him round the block then in car. It was obvious to me, the police intended to serve on me the latest Strafbefehl [summary sentence] personally, or perhaps even arrest me (Leuchter is still in jail!).473
5.9.7.Irving's lawyers refused to take the case, whereupon Irving realised that he had to vacate Germany as quickly as possible to avoid the indignity of deportation. '...changed reservation from 9 p. m. flight to stand by on 5 p. m. flight to London, hoping thereby to loose any policeman who had checked the British airways computer... Dash to airport gate and just got on as they closed the doors. Back in London.'474

See further audiocassette 162, '"David Irving spricht in Zunfthaus München...".' 14 January 1993. Irving appears on the same podium as Althans and Stephan Niemann. The ban was circumvented by another speaker [Althans?] who read out the ban (that he was banned from reading out) using 'beep' noises to indicte to the audience the ideas which Irving was not allowed to put forth.

Through the mist and mythical creatures at Campbellsville High School's Hamilton Auditorium on Tuesday night, the crowd was treated to something a bit unusual, something they might have never seen before - a Bunraku puppet show.
Wood and Strings Theatre brought Bunraku puppets to the stage and performed "Out of the Mist ... a Dragon," a tale of a young man's journey of self-discovery.
The production was the second of this year's Central Kentucky Arts Series' season. And it was enjoyed by many.

Mediterranean Salmon Salad
Perfect for a hot summer day, this recipe is very easy if you divide the labor between a fish-griller and a dressing and salad maker.
And its remarkably well balanced in terms of flavors, textures, colors, and nutrition.
Wild salmon is a super-healthful protein centerpiece providing omega-3s, vitamin D, and the powerfully antioxidant red-orange pigment called astaxanthin.
Meanwhile, the tomatoes, red onion, greens, and grains fill in the picture with vibrant hues, ample fiber, good carbs, and antioxidant, anti-aging food factors in abundance.
Mediterranean Salmon Salad
Serves 4
1 lb mixed field greens, washed
4 wild Alaskan salmon fillets (6 oz each) seasoned, grilled, and chilled
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, halved and sliced thin
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 cup cooked grains, chilled (e.g., Israeli couscous, kamut, wheat berries)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
3/4 cup low fat balsamic dressing (recipe follows)
Low Fat Balsamic Dressing (makes 1 cup):
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons sugar

1. Waaah
There _really_ has to be a better way of doing this. How on earth do companies survive? How on earth do administers of Windows computers even keep sane?
I find the lack of room Internet inconvenient, but I think I'm far more bothered by the fact that it's _there_, but not being used. I _want_ to improve this situation. I know it will happen again and again, so they have to choose between simply not allowing room access, or figuring out a good way to deal with the problem.
I know it's not my problem and I'm probably soooo going against the Japanese way of waiting for someone higher up to come up with a good idea, but I also know they value constant improvement. I hope I haven't embarrassed anyone (but myself). I just... oh, I don't know. Want to help. Want to not feel helpless.
I talked to the network administrator earlier. He started last month. Tried to explain myself in broken Japanese and lots of graphs. Learned about their network configuration. The rooms are connected to a few switches. The labs are connected on other switches. Tree, which makes it easy to disconnect the rooms. The server appears to be Windows 2000. Their main problem is that they can't associate computer names with rooms.
I tried to ask them to hook us up just among ourselves. If I have intranet access, I can run Jabber. I won't have to sneakernet files over. I just... I just don't know how to explain it to them.
Forcing MAC address registration would've been a fantastic idea. I
wonder if they know how to set that up on the server, though, and it
seems like too much trouble to ask them to do. There are network admin
systems that do automatic MAC address registration, but...
It's not my network. I'm not even a networks person. I'm just here to learn Japanese. I don't actually need Internet access in my room, it's just...
... I miss the Philippines. The Internet there might not be as fast, but it works. That's a bit unfair, though, as networks vary. I've always been lucky enough to be around great sysads. Come to think of it, ACENT was really quite funky.
But it'll all work out. I'll try to see if I can hint about the computer name; that should help them evolve a better solution in the long run. In the meantime, I'm here to study, and should concentrate on that.
(I miss my family and my friends...)

With the latest update from this week GarageBuy is great! It's much faster and seems to not hog my system like before. I won a very nice sofa via this app! Nice work!
How safe is this? Does any information get passed back to the developers? It seems great but I just want to be sure that it's not going to come back to bite me somehow.
i agree with donut2d in just about every way. i sent an email to the developer about making it possible to create a new window to view the auction in.
it's a great app to keep up on items you regularly search for, i find myself checking several times a day on a half dozen different items, its easy to do that with this app.
Seems really cool. Needs a bit more time too mature. Nice interface, if a bit slow. Not enough space is allowed for viewing the auctions. It would be nice to have an option to just view the auction list and a double-click or something would bring up another window with more auction information instead of splitting the view. Another thing that would help is if the items in the list would be condensed. While it's nice to have four photos with each item, I don't think people are too worried about that right away. Probably will just keep this on my computer until I need eBay. Much prettier than the website. Great job!

The house where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built Apple's (AAPL) first computer is now a historic site, as it should be. But that house alone isn't going to cut it when the relatives come to town and want to see where history was made in Silicon Valley.
The truth is, we don't do history all that well in the valley. Our preservation strategy is to hope nobody tears the good stuff down, though sometimes they do (so long Walker's Wagon Wheel and soon William Shockley's lab).
Anyway, I have a tried and true do-it-yourself driving tour of Silicon Valley that I'm going to share with you here. We might not have Civil War battlefields where blood was shed, or musty pubs where the revolution was plotted, but we've got stuff. All you have to do is look for it.
So grab your GPS or iPhone (I'm guessing even Apple maps can find Jobs' house) and get ready to be amazed.
Tap in 2066 Crist Drive, Los Altos: You're standing in front of Silicon Valley's newest historic home. The Los Altos Historical Commission recently placed the house that Jobs grew up in on the city's historic inventory. Don't get too close. Jobs' stepmother still lives in the place and some yard signs none too subtly suggest that any pictures you take should be taken from the sidewalk. Fair enough.
Anyway, it was in the attached garage that friends and relations Jobs, Wozniak, Patty Jobs, Daniel Kottke and Elizabeth Holmes built the first Apple 1s that they sold to the Byte Shop in 1976. The house also had a starring role in the recent movie "Jobs,'' with Ashton Kutcher.
Tap in 333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park: Here you'll find SRI International, a fascinating research institution known for being on one end of the first Internet transmission and for developing Siri. Ask her about it.
If you slip into the main lobby, you'll find a modest display that includes a replica of a wooden prototype of the first computer mouse, designed by Doug Engelbart. You'll also learn about SRI's red carpet moments (the organization won an Emmy and an Oscar for technical achievements).
Tap in 232 Santa Margarita Ave., Menlo Park: Well, OK, no, you can't go in, but sitting before you is the Google (GOOG) garage. In September 1998, the same month Google was incorporated, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin set up a workshop in Susan Wojcicki's garage. Hey, office space was expensive at the time, dot-com boom and all, and Wojcicki needed a hand with her Peninsula-sized mortgage.
"At the time I didn't really know what to think about this," Wojcicki said recently, as this newspaper's Brandon Bailey reported.
No, the garage didn't have an infinity swimming pool, sleep pods or a big white bus to take you to and from work, but all in all it worked out OK. Wojcicki, who is now Google's senior vice president for advertising, doesn't need help with her mortgage anymore. And Brin and Page are now two of the country's richest men.
Tap in 367 Addison Ave., Palo Alto: There are garages and then there is The Garage; and this is it. That modest little one-car job at the end of the driveway is where William Hewlett and David Packard in 1939 started what became the biggest technology seller in the world. The story is Mr. H and Mr. P flipped a coin to see whose name would go first in the company name.
David and Lucile Packard rented the first floor of the house at 367 and Hewlett lived in a shed in the backyard. The recent Stanford grads worked on the company's first product, an oscillator, in the garage. They'd paint the instruments in there and then use the oven in the home's kitchen to bake on the enamel.
The plaque naming the garage "The Birthplace of Silicon Valley" went up in 1989. The founders, who attended the big to-do, were less than impressed.
"This isn't the birthplace of Silicon Valley," Hewlett, who was 75 at the time, told this newspaper. "We didn't use silicon, and we weren't the first people in the valley."
Packard told this newspaper: "I'm not very strong on reminiscing. The past can't be much influence on the future, you've got to look ahead."
Tap in 391 San Antonio Road, Mountain View: The vacant Halal grocery store is the building that once housed Shockley labs, the spot where Nobel laureate Shockley continued his work on the transistor by experimenting with silicon semiconductors. He also assembled an A-team of scientists and engineers, including Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, who would go on to found Intel (INTC), the world's largest chipmaker. But before Intel, Noyce and Moore were joined by six others who fled Shockley's paranoia and dysfunctional management style to form Fairchild Semiconductor, the font of much of the valley's semiconductor industry.
Tap in 844 E. Charleston Road, Palo Alto: In 1957, Fairchild semiconductor launched itself and arguably the valley itself in this drab two-story building. The men who left Shockley became known as the "Traitorous Eight," though few of them liked that label. They were engineering a new product and a new way of making the product. Everything they did, they did from scratch.
In time, the eight were able to come up with the first integrated circuit that could be mass produced in a practical manner -- which it turned out was a very big deal.
Tap in 2200 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara: Intel is one indication of just what a big deal that chip was.
The company has more than 80,000 employees, by last count, and had $53 billion in sales last year.
This is the house that Noyce and Moore built; and if you head to the Robert Noyce Building, you'll find the Intel museum. It's a modest museum, but one that boasts some cool artifacts, including the horribly typed one-page business plan that the founders presented to potential investors.
You might even learn something about how those little chips actually make your computer run.
Tap in 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino: You probably feel you've already been traveling an infinite loop and this stop does bring you full circle. This is Apple's headquarters, for now. Apple, as you might know, is building a gigantic flying-saucer-shaped HQ a few miles away. The place will be big enough to house the population of a couple of small towns and chances are it will be locked down like Fort Knox. So if you want to get close to the company that evolved out of that simple garage on Crist Drive, this might be the place to do it.
Apple by its nature is not welcoming to outsiders, but the current campus has a company store that is open to the public. This is a different kind of Apple store. While it does carry a smattering of Apple gadgets, think logo-emblazoned T-shirts, caps, coffee mugs and key chains.
The company website points out that it is the only place in the world to buy the Apple logowear that it stocks. I'm not saying that you're geeky enough to try to impress your friends with that sort of thing.
Then again, if you've made it this far on my tour, you probably are.

By Angela Roy of Mommy PR
This birdhouse was my husband's idea. That man is a Martha Stewart sometimes. I had a box from The Honest Company, it was sort of long and skinny, on the smaller side. He took one look and decided that was going in the backyard for the birds.
What you will need:
- A box
- 2 kabob sticks
- Popsicle sticks (optional)
- Any craft extras for design (we used some pine and pine cone)
- Glue Gun
Your total cost should be FREE.
Step 1:
Take a the box and make it into a small square. We did this by cutting the long box in half and combining the 2 sides together (one half inside the other) to make it shorter. Simply glue those 2 together.
Step 2:
Take part of the lid, fold it in half for a roof. Run a Kabob stick through the bottom of the roof, through the birdhouse to the other side. This will help secure it stays on, but as an extra caution glue it also. It should look like the letter A now. Leave the ends of the Kabobs like they are, the birds can use those to perch on, or cover them in Popsicle sticks like we did (optional).
Step 3:
This part is all optional. You can use the Popsicle sticks to line the birdhouse for decoration, or add pine cones, leaves, flowers, even glitter. Whatever you want. Then just find a place to hang it outside.
Now isn't that the cutest recycled birdhouse?
Have a whirl at it and see what you come up with.

Good thing or I would have failed the first test - should be live not life!
Both words take on equal value....so there dear graduate, go and live a full life.
What a nice way to wake up....reading posts from 2 comedians! You made me really smile this morning. Congratulations Nancy, take it from me its wonderful to be a Senior!
I really don't like being a moron, but, what is a senior member?
Tommy....members status will increase according to the amount of your postings. Already you have passed over the New Member status and have moved on to Member status. You are well on your way of becoming a Senior Member which, I am pleased to say is not an age related status. It that were the case I for one would reject it. And, asking this question definitely does not qualify you for Moron status. It is always nice to hear from you.
All my best wishes,
So since we're discussing member status' how does one get to be a moderator?
Just wondering....
Good question, Margaret. Moderators are appointed by the members of the board.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012
WAYNESBORO, Ga. -- Buzz Miller, vice president of Nuclear Development for Southern Company, took News 12 on an exclusive tour of the Plant Vogtle construction site. Day after day, work there continues, and many of the larger modules have arrived on site from manufacturers across the country and globe and are almost ready for installment.
"You see a lot of workers out here. We got about a total, including the Shaw and Westinghouse, there's more than 2,300 people at the site now," Miller said.
Miller points out the work being done on the nuclear island of Unit 3. Right now, a rectangular hole with one semi-circular edge is empty, but soon, it'll house the reactor and auxiliary building after nuclear concrete is poured into the rebar jungle below. First, they'll have to weld together the pieces of the containment vessel and auxiliary building.
"It's about 1,300 tons, when finished, that will be picked up by the big crane and put into place," he said of the auxiliary building, which is constructed in a building nearby.
He says it's formed by 72 metal plates, which are welded together. Next year, a massive heavy-lift derrick, or crane, will lift each module into the nuclear island.
Big is no exaggeration. At 560 feet tall, it's actually taller than the Washington Monument. The crane is one of the largest in the world. It has the capacity to move five 747 jets across the distance of more than 3.5 football fields in one single lift.
All of these individual pieces will soon be stacked into place by the crane one by one.
"It's much like the notion of pre-fabricated housing. When you look at a house under construction, you can do it 2x4 by 2x4, or you can see an entire wall panel delivered and put together," he said, explaining the process of modular construction, which he says has made construction there much more efficient.
Georgia Power filed an Application for Certification of Vogtle Units 3 and 4 with the Georgia Public Service Commission in August 2008. An Early Site Permit and Limited Work Authorization was issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in August 2009. On Feb. 9, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted to approve the issuance of the Combined Construction and Operating License for Units 3 and 4. This meant construction could begin. It also marked an historic milestone. Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 are the first two new nuclear units licensed in the United States in 30 years. Miller says the construction of the two new reactors represents a nuclear renaissance in the U.S.
"We know people are watching. It is of national significance and even international significance that this facility is being built here," he said.
It means the project is under a spotlight. Licensing delays could now mean the reactors won't be online until 2017 and 2018. They were originally estimated to be operational by 2016 and 2017.
There are also questions about a rising price tag and a lawsuit between Southern Company and its contractors (Shaw Group and Westinghouse) over who should pay the extra costs.
"In my position, I worry about it, and I have to do it, but the 2,300 people that are working here today, they come to work, and they do their work with a purpose, and they're not worried about what's going on in the commercial aspect," Miller said.
He says they'll work through the bumps, because they're dead set on building infrastructure for the country's future and creating clean, renewable energy along the way.
He says completion will mean Georgia Power electric bills will go down. The two new units will generate 1,100 megawatts of electricity each. Overall, all four units will create enough combined energy to power 13 of the world's largest aircraft carriers at top speed.
The economic impact on this area, he says, will continue to be tremendous. Southern Company and its contractors will have 5,000 workers out there at the height of construction. Once operational, the two new units will provide 800 permanent jobs. He also points out many indirect jobs the project has created both locally and nationally.

Deadly chemicals surround you every day on the roads and in the factories. And they pass you through every county. News 12 is on your side with how Columbia County firefighters are learning to respond to accidents that could expose you to deadly toxins.
Any of these vehicles could be transporting lethal chemicals. That's why Martinez-Columbia Fire and Rescue Engineer Paul Casey is going through today's hazmat training.
"It's scary cause you never know at first," Casey said.
They will be able to respond to accidents anywhere in the CSRA. Chemicals they have to contain at the scene of an accident could be anything from the chlorine gas that killed nine in Graniteville in January to high levels of acetone, the chemical in nail polish remover.
Battalion Chief Danny Kuhlmann says they usually know what the chemical is with factory accidents, but it's a different story on the road.
"You don't know what's in a tractor trailer, you have to find out what's in a tank car, rail car, whatever," Kuhlmann said.
And a new trend to deal with is mobile methamphetamine labs. The first thing they do in a chemical accident is isolate the toxins and close the area off. Then, it's off to detox.
If a firefighter or victim needs immediate medical attention they come here, to emergency decontamination, where they're hosed off with soap and water before being rushed to the hospital.
For everyone else, they go through a more thorough process to completely remove the chemical.
"That's what this education is about, teaching us to go in so we can learn what the chemical is, be as safe as we can, and take care of the situation," Casey said.
The Georgia Fire Academy is in charge of the training. Martinez-Columbia recently got a $35,000 grant for new hazmat equipment. They'll be able to respond to chemical accidents within the year.


text: On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert addresses allegations of coordinating with his Super PAC brought forth by Buzzfeed's Ben Smith. Smith found some inconsistencies in the timing of yesterday's Report and the Super PAC's most recent ad, which presented eerily similar ideas. But those inconsistencies were easily explained away with something Smith didn't account for: Colbert and Jon Stewart have ESP. Which is really useful, until one of them burns themselves on the stove.

Recent reports may have left the impression that the Osage Beach City Use Tax being submitted to voters on the April ballot is an additional tax imposed on top of the current sales tax.
That is not true.
The use tax can apply to a purchase only where no sales tax is applied. If sales tax is collected, the use tax is not collected, according to Osage Beach City Attorney Ed Rucker.
The decision in Street v. Director of Revenue in 2012 changed the existing practice by prohibiting collection of a local sales tax on a vehicle purchased from an out-of-state vendor. The Department of Revenue will collect the use tax, if adopted, when the vehicle is purchased from an out of state vendor. At registration, vehicle or boat owners will be charged sales tax or use tax, but not both.
The ordinance submitted to the voters is the only option available to address the loss of city revenue caused by the decision in Street v. Director of Revenue. The Department of Revenue's initial estimate was a loss to the City of Osage Beach of $33,000.00 annually. The City of Camdenton, Morgan County, Camden County and the City of Laurie are all placing use tax proposals before their voters in the April 2, 2013 election.

Law enforcement officials from Mississippi and Alabama are joining forces to saturate the roadways for safety during the Memorial Day weekend.
City, county, and state law enforcement have teamed up for Hands Across the Border.
Law enforcement officials in Mississippi say that the nine deaths that occurred during the Memorial Day weekend in 2011 were nine too many. They are working this year to bring that number to zero.
"Our goal is to make the roadways in the state of Mississippi and the state of Alabama as safe as possible," said Mississippi Troop H commander, Maj. Billy Mayes.
"We want everybody to know, whether they are in Mississippi or Alabama, that it's very important that you're wearing your seat belt at all times," said Tasha Washington, Alabama's assistant highway director.
"The fatalities that have happened, it was due to non-seatbelt usage. So a lot of the crashes that involved fatalities, they were not wearing a seatbelt," said Mayes.
The Hands Across the Border campaign will end June 3. But Washington says the crackdown on not wearing your seatbelt won't.
"The effort is ongoing throughout the year," said Washington. "We are constantly out there, law enforcement is out there enforcing the law."
If you are planning on traveling in Mississippi or Alabama, officials want you to know...
"Your chances of surviving an automobile crash, your chances of surviving are greater if you do have a seatbelt on. The safest thing to do is buckle up."
"Our mission is to save lives. Wear your seatbelt, every trip, every time whether you are going to the store, or a long trip. You need to have that seatbelt on."
Alabama's seat belt usage rate is well above the national average, while Mississippi's is just below it right now.
According to numbers from 2010 from the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, 81 percent of Mississippians buckle up. Ninety-one percent of Alabamians do. The national average is 85 percent.

Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) - Introducing the Sun Storage J4000
By Laura on Jul 09, 2008
Reliability is key in your storage device; it can make the difference between compliance and a multi-million dollar lawsuit in some cases. With the failure rate of layers of a storage device being almost a certainty at a network scale, it is more critical than ever to employ technology that can intelligently identify bytes of data and maintain their integrity throughout the data management process.
That's the driving force behind the development of the Sun Storage J4000 family array (aka JBOD for Just A Bunch Of Disks), with more value being placed on general purpose software running on industry-standard architecture and JBODs than ever before. As Bill Moore (photo), Chief Engineer of Systems Storage Group, points out in his interview with Hal Stern, VP of Global Systems Engineering, in this edition of Innovating@Sun, "the true value is in the software, software like ZFS and Solaris, that will be able to take advantage of the capabilities of the general purpose compute and make what people used to think as 'oh, yawn, another JBOD' into something that would be even more powerful and more reliable than your typical storage array is today."Read More]

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Welcome to the Smart Grid website at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Whether you are a consumer, engineer, or policymaker, this website can help you learn about and participate in the smart grid and in the development of the interoperable standards that will make it possible.
Building on NIST's century-long partnership with the electric industry, we are embarking with our partners on this generation's grand challenge—modernizing the electric power grid so that it incorporates information technology to deliver electricity efficiently, reliably, sustainably, and securely. Unlike the grid of the 20th century, which primarily delivered electricity in a one-way flow from generator to outlet, the modernized grid permits the two-way flow of both electricity and information.
Working with stakeholders and partners from industry, government, and academia, we've been building a solid framework and roadmap for smart grid interoperability standards. While continuing our work toward smart grid version 1.0, we are also participating in the full cycle of research, development, and innovation that will take us to smart grid 2.0, 3.0, and beyond.
The Smart Grid and Cyber-Physical Systems Program Office is a division of NIST's Engineering Laboratory. The program draws on expertise from across the breadth of the NIST organization, including the Physical Measurement Laboratory and the Information Technology Laboratory.

The Billings Ovulation Method™ is used by millions of women around the world. It was developed by Drs John and Evelyn Billings, validated by eminent international scientists and successfully trialled by the World Health Organisation. By learning to identify your natural signals of fertility, you can use the Billings Ovulation Method™ to become pregnant or avoid pregnancy and to safeguard your reproductive health.
The Billings Method will be recognised in medical history as one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century.
Thomas W. Hilgers, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Omaha USA
Thank you for all you've taught me. I will come back to the Billings Method while breastfeeding. It's been a really good experience learning and knowing so much about my body and fertility.
Sarah, 33 years
It is truly amazing how wonderful the human body is and how by just being aware of different signs and symptoms from your body you are able to realise when you are more fertile.
Susan, 24 years and Jason, 25 years
Thanks for helping us with all the information we needed to conceive our little girl. She is a bundle of joy!
Jane, 32 years
We were both past 40 when we married and I didn't recognise a Peak for some months, but when it came we were ready for it! Our beautiful daughter is such a gift and a blessing.
Andrea and Simon
I just wanted to thank you for your advice and help with trying to conceive our son – it worked for us!
Zeta, 33 years
We have used the Billings Ovulation Method with 100% effectiveness for prevention and 100% effectiveness for achieving, always conceiving in the first cycle of using fertile days. We will be forever grateful to our scientists! We are in awe of the complexity of the woman in contrast to the simplicity of this method.
Jan Hemstad, M.D. & Darcy Hemstad, R.N.,Yakima, Washington
I helped a couple who had been trying to conceive for a whole year with a history of irregular cycles to achieve a pregnancy in their first attempt after a short instruction. This [Billings Ovulation Method™] course has enabled me to relate a woman's physiological and endocrinological status to a simple vulvar sensation or a changing-unchanging mucus pattern.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Jan. 17, 2012 – Seventy-five years ago this month, Ducks Unlimited was founded by four sportsmen on a mission to save North America's waterfowl populations. The year was 1937, and the odds were against them. Their plan: restore waterfowl by restoring water to prairie wetlands (despite one of the worst droughts in history), and pay for it with donated dollars (during the Great Depression).
It worked. Today, Ducks Unlimited is the largest, most effective wetlands and waterfowl conservation group in the world. To honor DU's 75th anniversary, Winchester Ammunition, a long-time partner of Ducks Unlimited, will present DU with its "Partners in Conservation Award" at Winchester's SHOT Show booth (#13329) on Wednesday, Jan. 18, at 10:00 a.m.
In addition, Friday, Jan. 20 will be Ducks Unlimited Day at the Winchester Ammunition booth. Attendees are encouraged to drop by and enter to win five cases of Winchester® Blind Side™ shotshells and a limited-edition Ducks Unlimited 75th Anniversary Art Print. The prize drawing will be held Friday at 5:00 p.m.
"I can't think of a better way to mark this milestone than with the people and partners who made it possible," said Dale Hall, CEO of Ducks Unlimited. "America's sportsmen and women and the industries they support have always been—and continue to be—the conservation leaders of North America. Every year, leaders from the shooting, hunting and outdoor industries come together at SHOT Show, and we're proud to celebrate DU's 75th anniversary with those friends and partners this year."
Ducks Unlimited works with public and private partners to maximize its conservation impact. For 25 years, Winchester Ammunition has been DU's partner in conservation.
"Winchester is a recognized leader in supporting our hunting heritage and the conservation of wildlife habitat, and we are proud to honor Ducks Unlimited on their 75th anniversary as one of their premier partners," said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of sales and marketing. "Our support has been instrumental in helping Ducks Unlimited to develop successful wetland and waterfowl conservation programs, and we are encouraged by their leadership and mission."
Ducks Unlimited's 75th anniversary celebration will continue throughout the year with special events, merchandise, projects and promotions across the continent. DU recently released its 75th anniversary book, The Ducks Unlimited Story by Michael Furtman. This 208-page coffee-table book chronicles DU's first 75 years with never-before-seen photos and documents from the DU archives. Log on to http://www.ducks.org/75 for more updates and information on DU's 75th anniversary.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

The Four Winns H260RS has a LOA of 26'6" (8.08m), a beam of 8'5" (2.55 m) and a draft of 35" (89 cm).
Mission Statement
The mission of the H260RS is to expand the market for the H260 Horizon by adding additional features that change her looks both internally and externally. Now, the classic sportboat style has given way to looks more consistent with a go-fast, only without the cost associated with that breed of boat.
The sleek lines of the H260 remain, while the gel work and low profile windshield make for a more racy looking boat characteristic of a go-fast.
Key Advantages
There are some standout features that Four Winns provides. Among those features are --
1. Color-Matched Trailers.
2. Side Guides - These help keep the boat straight in a cross current or cross wind.
3. Fully Welded Fabrication – This is a strong advantage over bolts and clamps. There's nothing to loosen over time and fewer places for corrosion to creep in.
4. Closed Box Steel Construction – 11-gauge box tube steel adds strength over open channel C-stock.
5. Low Profile Design – Keeps the center of gravity lower making for an easier towing boat and also saves on fuel.
6. Non-Marking Bow Rollers - The forward portion of the keel rests against these high-density rollers, which are made of a special material that won't leave scuffmarks.
7. Fold Away Tongue – Minimizes space requirements and reduces wasted space. Chain it or remove it to reduce theft.
8. Heavy Duty Jack Stand – Four Winns utilizes the workhorse of a jack stand and has a rotating wheel base and locking winch system to assist in the launching and loading process.
9. Polyurethane Finish – Creates a long lasting finish more resistant to the long term effects of sun, salt and temperature changes. Plus, it's color matched to the boat.
10. Bearing Protection – With TurboLube there is an oil bath bearing system with a plastic hum that shows the oil level in each wheel.
11. High Quality Tires – Important where the rubber meets the road.
12. Disc Brakes – Less prone to head buildup than drum brakes
13. LED submersible lights – These use less electricity and remain cool so they don't "pop" when hitting cold water. They're also submersible so water won't seep in and corrode the connections.
14. Fixed Tie Downs – Eliminates the problem of lost tie downs. These are retractable and permanently attached to the trailer.
15. Longitudinal bunks – These cradle the boat more effectively than rollers and they also spread the load out over a longer surface area.
Stable Vee Hull. This has been a staple on Four Winns boats since 1993 and it's an award winning design feature.
• During hard cranking turns, the running surface clings to the water and the boat stays flatter giving a more car-like feel, according to the builder
• The stepped running surface reduces surface friction and drag while underway, which is more efficient
• The shaped chines give the hull a larger, more stable footprint
• The chines also provides lateral stability that distributes weight to help remain level while running or at rest
Premium Materials
• Stainless Steel – All cleats, lifting eyes, rails and fasteners are stainless steel.
• Wiring Harnesses – Copper wiring is used with tin coating to inhibit corrosion in saltwater environments. Internal silicone seals protect against damage and the contacts are rated for high amperages.
• Stay Dry Foam – Stainless steel springs compress moisture out of the foam, and water passes through the reticulated foam to be shed from the bottom of the rotocast plastic base.
The RS version of the H260 features upgraded graphics and a low profile windshield.
By contrast, here's the H260 without the RS package. The tower shown here is optional.
The RS Version
With the creation of the RS version, Four Winns has given the H260 a shot of testosterone. The low profile tinted windshield, bow scuff plate and the gel scheme and graphics are designed to appeal to a racier clientele. The trailer will also have premium aluminum wheels.
Step aboard and the improvements continue. Carbon fiber has been added to the vinyl upholstery, the dash panel is now a custom black, the swim platform has a grey non-skid mat and the cockpit has a custom designed snap-in carpet.
Features Inspection
The layout of the H260RS is such that it makes good use of all available space, particularly in the cockpit seating.
The layout of the H260RS is fairly typical of a sport bowrider, but there are a few exceptions. The cockpit seating is mostly wrapped around from helm seat to observer's seat creating a much more efficient use of space beyond the typical bench seating.
Built-in Cooler. To starboard is a doublewide seat that can be swapped out for a "cockpit galley" that includes a sink and refrigerator and counter space for food prep.
A built-in cooler resides under the aft bench seat, but we'd like to see that space accommodate a carry-on. It's just more efficient to load a cooler at home and bring it aboard.
The port console includes a lockable glove box and hand-fitted, topstitched upholstery. There's a small electronics storage space as well. Inside is a head compartment with a Porta-Potti included as standard equipment.
Four Winns did a good job on the bow seats. Notice they not only have flip-up armrests, but there are armrests recessed into the bulwarks. And the grab handles are placed much more ergonomically than we usually see. A large anchor locker is forward. We like that.
Vinyl on the seats is Aquaflex with carbon fiber highlights that all will withstand the elements, but we'd still cover her up when not in use. The bow seating is much more inline with the typical bowrider but we notice that the seat cushions are hinged to allow easier access to the storage underneath.
Towards the stern is the usual sun pad, but these cushions kick up to form a chaise lounge as well as aft facing seating.
Notice the steps in the corners of the transom, just under the sunpad. Also, there are speakers at the swim platform. The platform itself has gray mat non-skid as part of the RS package.
We think the black dash panel of the RS package presents a slightly automotive retro look. Even without the options discussed later, the dash is well equipped. More of the hand-fitted upholstery of the port console can be seen here, as well as the expected tilt wheel. There's also full instrumentation along with a depth sounder that includes air and water temperature.
The command center includes cruise control, a depth sounder with water and air temperature, fuel flow, full engine instrumentation, GPS chartplotter, LCD touchscreen, programmable watersport rider settings, stereo control, trip data, and video inputs.
The trim of the RS helm matches the gel work of the hull. A stereo remote is at the helm and drives the Sony stereo. No Bluetooth though, and we'd like to see Four Winns add that to the standard stereo.
Good Standard Equipment
Additions to the mechanical side of things that we didn't expect were power steering (not power assist), dual batteries with a battery switch and a transom trim switch… all standard.
Pricing and Options
The H260RS has a base price of $90,769 and at that price the boat can come with either a 300-hp MerCruiser 350 MPI with BIII drive or a 300-hp Volvo Penta V8-300C with DP drive. Options will go from 320-hp on up to a 380-hp Volvo Penta V8-380 DP.
Towing and watersports options include a collapsible wakeboard tower with color matched Bimini top ($6,615) and speakers ($1,231) can be added.
The hull and deck options include an aft shower ($231) which we think is a must have. A windlass ($2,385) is offered but the anchor for a boat this size doesn't weigh that much to warrant it. We would add a bow anchor roller ($469) as it simply takes the anchor out of the storage compartment, leaving it dedicated to the anchor rode. Plus, it just looks better on the boat. Underwater lighting is a cool feature but pricey ($731).
This switch panel shows off the precision textured trim that is indicative of an upscale boat. We also love how the horn switch is easily distinguished from the others.
Moving to the cockpit we have a few well thought-out items we'd add. Definitely go with the cockpit table ($662) with side mount bracket. The refreshment center ($1,846) includes a refrigerator and sink plus much needed counter space for food prep. Since there's an enclosed head, we'd ditch the Porta-Potti and go with a pump-out ($300) and a VacuFlush head ($1,615).
At the helm, is where we would put a good chunk of the optional bucks. The command center adds a host of features that we've come to appreciate on any boat. The price is dictated by the brand of engine (Mercury DTS - $4,962, Mercury without DTS - $4,115, and Volvo Penta - $4,146).
Some people will opt for the stereo remote at the transom ($385) but at 26'6" (8.08 m) LOA we don't feel it's necessary to go with the premium sound system ($2,192) and its attendant amplifiers, subwoofers, and upgraded speakers.
The aft sun pad not only converts to aft facing seating, as shown here, but also a chaise lounge.
The engine room could use the advantage of the automatic discharge fire extinguishing system ($385) and we've seen a growing trend of this being standard on more and more boats. The thru hull exhaust ($3,923) we can also live without but some younger buyers might like the added noise.
Finally, we come to the canvas and even if we store this boat inside, it will need to be covered. The full canvas ($1,169) will keep the interior and caprails protected for trailering, but the cockpit and forward cover will do the job for a little less ($800).
The Bottom Line
So with all of these goodies added onto the base price, we arrive at an MSRP of $115,954, with the base engine. More power will raise the price accordingly. But all things being equal, while this isn't exactly the lowest priced boat on the market, it isn't the most expensive either.

Several Leading Republicans Defend Christie
By Stephanie Armour
Several leading Republicans on Sunday defended New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's handling of the bridge scandal and said the controversy isn't likely to undermine a possible 2016 presidential bid.
"Chris Christie gave us two hours of open dialogue and cross examination with the press," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"You can judge a person and a person's character," said Mr. Priebus, noting there has been no direct link to the governor. Documents released last week spurred allegations that his aides and appointees devised a major traffic backup last year to retaliate against a Democratic mayor.
Mr. Christie's blanket denial that he didn't know the purpose of the lane closures is believable and the scandal is likely to fade away, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week."
"When this first came up, I don't think he would have made a joke about it if he didn't have any knowledge of it," Mr. Giuliani said. "Typically when a politician is obfuscating something like that, they are going to get very careful," Mr. Giuliani said. "Plus, during a press conference they are going to get careful with words like I could not remember, I am not sure, possibly, maybe. This was very, very definitive. So I am pretty sure this is going to go away."
Mr. Christie was in campaign mode at the time of the traffic debacle and was perhaps not paying close attention because of that distraction, Mr. Giuliani said.
The governor handled the issue the best way possible with his marathon press conference Thursday, Mr. Giuliani said. "I think it's pretty darn credible. He wouldn't make this blanket denial unless it is not true."
The lane closures at the entrance to the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., last September were initially described by the Christie administration as related to a traffic study.
On Thursday, Mr. Christie apologized for the traffic jam that was allegedly created by aides to retaliate against Democratic Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich. The Justice Department is probing whether the lane closures violated federal law and a New Jersey Assembly committee controlled by Democrats is continuing an inquiry into the matter.
Mr. Sokolich on Sunday said he believed Mr. Christie's apology and had a cordial meeting with him Thursday where he received an unconditional assurance there would never be a recurrence.
Mr. Christie also assured him he had no knowledge of the plot, Mr. Sokolich said, adding that if he didn't know, the Catch-22 is that he certainly should have known.
"I take him at his word," Mr. Sokolich said on NBC. "I've said that now repeatedly. You know, initially he wanted to come up, I was discouraging of that because I thought that in light of the ongoing investigations, allow them to ripen a little bit more and then come up. But, you know what? Fort Lee always will open their arms to a sitting governor."
Another possible 2016 presidential contender, Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), said he would "reserve judgment" on Mr. Christie. Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," he declined to answer questions about the bridge scandal and said it would be a mistake to make any comments on the governor's political future.
Republican political consultant Karl Rove said Mr. Christie's apology and steps to address the controversy will serve him well. But his brash leadership style may still be an obstacle to a presidential run, Mr. Rove said on "Fox News Sunday."

There won't be any vinyl. But we will be hitting people with an incredible remix just before the album drops that will hopefully make up for the lack of vinyl. It's that good. haha

The great thing about Pip is that you'd think his ultra-thick porno-esque accent would be grating, but it's actually really endearing. I'm excited to hear the rest of the production on this new album.

I'm not sure if the general public is aware of this or not, but Pip has a serious stuttering problem. When it comes time to rap or recite something rehearsed, the speech impediment isn't really noticeable. Outside of songs, he's got a great obstacle to overcome when it comes to communicating. It's interesting (to me at least) how something like affects or inspires his writing process.

Did not know that. I heard him say something to that effect in the song but didn't think it was a serious sort of thing. So it's like a King's Speech type scenario? I'd say that makes Pip even more impressive because he sounds confident as hell on a track.

Loving this song. A lot of energy and a bit of a different tone to the le sac vs pip stuff.
RE: stutter, I think it's in his book (which is really cool btw) that Pip says how there are certain words he struggles with so he sometimes has to write around stuff in his lyrics. That was really interesting to hear.

This video is great! That was pretty ballsy for him to trim the beard and shave his head for the video. What would have happened if he messed up and didn't get it in that one take? Wait till his hair grows back?

- Great gun with serious flawsSo I purchased this a little over 2 weeks ago and while it performs great and is a blast to shoot, mine came with some issues.
I had bought two spare mags to go with the gun, and I'm glad I did. The magazine that came with the gun appears defective. The point that breaks the seal of the CO2 cartridge was not shaped correctly it seems. Whenever I place a CO2 cartridge in the mag, the part of the CO2 seal gets clogged in the needle blocking most of the CO2 from entering the magazine and the gun does not fully cycle. The tips of the needles on the two spare mags have a shape to them (like an ice-cream cone cut in half vertically) clearly designed to prevent clogs. Both times I've tried this mag I've had to take out (thus discharging) a still mostly full CO2 cartridge, and with my pocket knife scrape off the part of the seal that had clogged the tip.
The second issue with my Five-seveN were the adjustable sights. The screw holding the sights in place had the threads completely stripped on two sides and the internal threading was too thin. I was surprised the first time shooting when my sights literally flew off the gun. At first I thought it wasn't tightened initially and after locating the sight, the screw, and the spring, I reassembled the sights not thinking too much about it. The second time I was shooting it, (2 days ago) I got about 30-40 bb's in and the sights flew away again... I couldn't find the spring and at this point I'm probably just going to glue the things on.
Another note about the sights: one thing I noticed with mine was that the spring was too tight to adjust to the left. The most it would compress was to get the sights lined up in the center most position (another likely cause for the sights going airborne).
I've watched and read a lot of reviews online and most were extremely positive so I'm hoping I just got the special snowflake in the bunch.
Other than that I'm still loving this gun. After I zero in the sights I'm just going to glue them down. I'd be cautious buying it, but if you love the Five-seveN / want something to match your p90, I'd consider adding an additional mag and inspecting the sights before shooting.

DEAR JOAN: I watched an opossum recovering from a traumatic experience the other evening.
We have two mini schnauzers. I have seen the little female kill a rat she caught in an ivy fence line we pass on our walk. Wondering why she was spending so much time out in the rain, we looked out to see her smelling and nuzzling an apparently dead opossum. We shooed her inside, and I watched to see if I was going to have to dispose of the opossum as I did the rat mentioned above.
After several minutes I saw the opossum's ear twitch, an eye open, the head come up slowly. The possum was gone when I looked out later.
I wondered if the possum was moving slowly to make sure the coast was clear, or do they always take some time to "wake up"?
DEAR MIKE: Opossums are notorious for playing dead when they are threatened or in fear, but actually, they aren't playing at anything.
In the face of danger, an opossum faints. Or something akin to it. Its body seizes up, it falls over and lies stiff and motionless. A predator that is keen on the actual hunt assumes the opossum is dead and generally leaves it be.
In the case of your schnauzer, the dog was likely confused why the creature had suddenly gone still. She was nuzzling the thing in an attempt to get it to move again.
Nature has given opossums an interesting protective tool, but it's not foolproof. While unconscious, they are vulnerable to whatever animals and humans might want to do with their "dead" bodies. Good thing you didn't act too quickly in disposing of it.
Opossums are sort of slow moving anyway, but it does take them a while to recover and to check that the danger has passed.
In addition to fainting, opossums also can do excessive drooling to fake illness, and they can release an unpleasant smell from their behinds. Sounds just like a kid I went to school with.
DEAR JOAN: Do you know this spider? I recently found it in my backyard and have not been able to identify it on the Internet. Can you help me?
DEAR NONA: I don't know it personally, but I recognize another fine example of an orb spinner. This one, I believe, is a banded garden spider (Argiope trifasciata). It is one of the largest and most amazing looking of orb weavers. You'll see them predominantly in the late summer through early winter in this part of the country.
The spider is harmless to humans and pets, although it does a great job of ensnaring common garden pests, making it a fine companion in your yard.

DEAR JOAN: Thought you might be interested in this. My sister-in-law lives in Mariposa, near Yosemite. They evidently are on a migration route for hummers.
This year, from April to mid-November, she has made 196 gallons of sugar water. She's hoping they head south soon.
A few years ago she made 141 gallons and we thought that was a lot.

DEAR BLAIR: That is a lot of nectar, but she may not be through. Only some hummingbirds migrate. Others, including the Anna's hummer, does not.
Maybe she should plant some salvia to help feed them. Or sugar cane.

MARIETTA - Paper airplanes of various sizes and shapes competed during Sunday's annual Great Community Paper Airplane Contest at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Marietta.
Seven-year-old Lexi Brown, of Marietta, tossed her sleek paper plane from the church balcony out over the sanctuary where the aircraft sailed to victory in the longest-flight contest.
"She watched me make one, then copied the design to make her own plane," said Lexi's dad, Chris Brown.

Bailey Nesselroad, 11, from Beverly, also designed a winning plane.
"I've been working on it for about a week," he said, noting this was his first official paper airplane contest.
The event has been a tradition at the church for more than 25 years, according to organizer Todd Frasher of Devola.
"It's just a great tradition that brings a lot of kids together to have a good time," he said. "It's always open to the community, and everyone goes home with a prize."
The entrance fee was donation of a can of food, and 32 people, young and old alike, took part in this year's event.
"All proceeds and donations go to the local community food pantry," Frasher said.
Pastor Kat Hawbaker said the event brings people together to have some fun and benefits a good cause.
"We really appreciate so many people coming out to participate every year," she said. "It's a good time that everyone can come and enjoy in this beautiful historic church."
The Unitarian Society in Marietta was founded in February 1855 by Nahum Ward who funded construction of the city's First Unitarian Universalist Church that was completed in 1857. The facility cost $25,000 to build, and Ward later sold it to the congregation for $1.
The church continues to house services from its original location at 232 Third St. in Marietta.
