ASHEVILLE – Agents with North Carolina Department of Public Safety's Alcohol Law Enforcement arrested 11 people on drug charges Thursday following a year-long investigation of a nightclub in west Asheville, according to a news release from the Department of Public Safety.
Arrests and search warrants were served at Club Xcapades, 97-99 New Leicester Highway, and at residences connected to the business. Charges include the possession and sale of cocaine, marijuana and prescription medications. A weapon was also confiscated. Club Xcapades holds Alcoholic Beverage Control permits.
The Asheville Police Department first notified ALE that drugs were being sold at Club Xcapades and ALE launched the investigation as part of its Community Betterment Program. Asheville Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted in the operation.
"Numerous investigative hours were spent on this case and we appreciate the help of our local and federal partners," said John Pace, assistant special agent in charge of ALE's district office in Asheville. "ALE's community betterment initiative is working to reduce the number of violent offenses caused by drug transactions and weapons violations such as in this case."
Those charged are:
Timothy Anderson, 45, Asheville
Ruslan Klimovich, 21, Asheville
Rhonda Lemons, 49, Asheville
Jesse Lemons, 27, Asheville
Erica Calvert, 23, Fairview
Robert Lanter, 36, Swannanoa
Brittney Rittenberry, 24, Asheville
Charles Simmons, 30, Asheville
Richard Jiles, 33, Asheville
Robert Brooks, 31, Asheville
Rianda Akins, 23, Asheville
The N.C. State Highway Patrol and N.C. Department of Revenue also assisted during the arrests and drug seizures.
ALE agents have the authority to arrest and take investigatory action for any criminal offense. Their primary responsibility is the enforcement of Alcoholic Beverage Control Laws and the Controlled Substances Act.

Summer is in full swing, so you know what that means: Monsters! It was exactly one year ago today that we first reported on the Montauk Monster and now something that looks like Monty's cousin has emerged in Toronto. Alive!
The creature was photographed by a Toronto resident named Jeffrey Freeman as it was rummaging around in his backyard. What could this hellish thing possibly be? Freeman thinks it's an opossum, but his boyfriend thinks it's a "freakish alopecia marsupial." Torontoist suggests that it may be a bald raccoon, something they say is increasingly common in their area. Whatever it is, it looks like a damn monster!
Here's another shot of it:
See the resemblance?
They're both monsters!

Peter F. Hamilton's grand Void series spanned tens of thousands of pages and many books suitable for light weightlifting. Though his "Great North Road" (Del Rey, $30, 951 pages) can also contribute to overall fitness levels, it is a self-contained work.
Hamilton's overarching concerns are several -- including environmentalism and the dangers of corporate decision-making, to name just two. But framing the book is a murder investigation in Newcastle in the year 2143.
Despite that future date, police work is still police work, and people are still people (which was true in the Void series, as well), so there's much that's comparable to the 21st century. Hamilton, as one would expect, draws several compelling characters, and the mystery keeps the mental gears turning.
Still, "Great North Road" is not a complete success; there are some inexplicable sacrifices and holes in the plot. (The avenging monster could have taken care of all the good guys at one time, for example, rather than picking them off one by one.)
Nonetheless, "Great North Road" is a fun read, and one of those books that makes you glad it's got a lot of pages. If the finish isn't quite as strong as the start, well that's a nitpick.
I admit the cover's pretty cheesy, but "Queen's Hunt" by Beth Bernobich (Tor, $24.99, 332 pages) still deserves attention. It's Book 2 in a series that began with "Passion Play," and it's a typical pre-industrial fantasy with magic and paranormal powers. But just as with "Passion Play," Bernobich transcends the familiar formula with strong characterizations, a complex plot and solid writing.
Also on the positive side, "Queen's Hunt" is a more or less complete book, rather than the usual Vol. 2, which simply digs the protagonists deeper and deeper into a hole that the author won't let them start climbing out of until midway through Book 3. There is some stretching of one's suspension of disbelief, but Bernobich manages to mix romance, adventure and political maneuvering into a coherent, entertaining narrative. As fantasy readers know so well, that's easier said than done.
"Whispers Under Ground" by Ben Aaronovitch (Del Rey, $7.99, 303 pages) is the author's third book about Constable Peter Grant, who works in the generally derided paranormal department of the London police, but does so with a cheeky charm and a knack for getting in trouble.
"Whispers" isn't quite as snappy as "Midnight Riot" and "Moon Over Soho," but it's still a fun read, despite the violence. It's also a welcome change from the deeply depressing dystopic novels that usually land in my mailbox.
If you haven't sampled this series yet but consider modern police work, actual magic (with Latin formulas that are hard to learn) and a mythic underpinning to a modern metropolis a good mix, you should definitely start with the first installment, "Midnight Riot."
"Bowl of Heaven" by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven (Tor, $25.99, 412 pages). I just don't understand why a respected publishing house like Tor misleads consumers into buying a book without mentioning anywhere on the jacket that it's the first of a series. What's the point? Do they think that fooling readers will build customer loyalty? Or do they just not care that the investment from a buyer triples when it's a trilogy?
And in any event, this Benford/Niven collaboration is essentially "Ringworld 2.0," except it's not nearly as good as "Ringworld." "Bowl" has cardboard characters (both human and alien), lots of fanciful technology and a couple of secrets that won't be revealed until Book 3, when the parted lovers finally reunite. (Yes, that's just a guess, but I'm pretty sure it's a safe guess.)
If Tor had made clear this was a trilogy, I would have advised waiting until at least Book 2 before jumping in. But corporate greed angers me, so on general principle I'm going with a check-it-out-of-the-library recommendation.

Nola pitches LSU to 5-2 win over South Carolina
Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 12:42 a.m.
BATON ROUGE — Sophomore right-hander Austin Nola (8-0) threw his third consecutive complete game Friday at Alex Box Stadium, lifting No. 2 LSU to a 5-2 victory over No. 10 South Carolina.
The Tigers' 39-4 overall mark is the best 43-game record in school history, and LSU's 16-3 league record is the school's best conference mark since the 1986 club was also 16-3.
Nola became the first LSU (39-4 overall, 16-3 SEC) pitcher to throw three-straight complete games since left-hander Greg Smith in 2005, who accomplished the same feat against Ole Miss, Arkansas and Vanderbilt. Nola allowed two runs on six hits Friday while striking out eight in his nine-inning performance.
Nola won for the eighth time this season in eight decisions as he limited the Gamecocks (31-12, 11-8 SEC) to two runs on six hits with no walks and eight strikeouts, firing 112 pitches.

A building that had been part of the Third Street scene in Redwood Falls for several decades was taken down recently.
The building, which has been vacant since the Redwood County Telephone Company main headquarters was moved to Wabasso, had been purchased by Minnwest Bank.
According to Doug Karsky, Minnwest Bank president, the building was taken down to allow for future expansion of the bank building, including the potential to make its driveway bigger and to add more parking.
Karsky added the historic stonework (right) was preserved and could be used in future expansion plans.
The Beran family, which had most recently owned the building and owned Redwood County Telephone until selling it to Arvig Enterprises, Inc. in 2010, was not available for comment.
Once considered state of the art, the building became a sign of changing times, as tele-communications ad-vances required the company to adapt.

GYPSUM - Eagle Valley football wasn't ready for the end.
"You just don't plan your ending," Devils coach John Ramunno said. "I didn't have my postgame speech ready. I was saving it. I usually like to go through each senior. I'll go inside now to tell them, just thank them for the season. They're just darn good kids."
Eagle Valley's turnaround season - 1-8 in 2011 to 8-4 this year - ended in a defensive second-round playoff slugfest Saturday at Hot Stuff Stadium in Gypsum as visiting Conifer came away with a 16-10 win.
Four turnovers were the cause for Eagle Valley's demise. The most critical miscue came on the Devils' first offensive play of the second half. Cole Nielsen, who was running gamely on a bum ankle, was hit by Conifer's A.J. Eleniewski. The ball squirted out and right into the ready arms of Lobos' defensive back Seth Trujillo. The senior rolled 23 yards into the end zone, giving his team a 14-3 lead at the time.
"I just saw him running outside, and we were chasing him, trying to lay a hit on him," Trujillo said. "I just saw the ball pop out and saw it rolling on the ground. So I just picked the ball up and ran with it. It's indescribable. To have it happen in this game is just amazing."
"That defense has been there all year long," Conifer head coach Larry Fitzmaurice said. "Coach (Eric) Kragel, my defensive coordinator, does a heck of a job with them. All year, they've been playing well, other than one or two games. Today, they played when the offense probably didn't have the best day."
This was a defensive duel from the start. Eagle Valley struggled with early. Its last three possessions for the first half started on its 1-, 1- and 3-yard lines. Nonetheless, the Devils moved the ball on the first of those three possessions from the shadows of their goal posts on a 23-play drive.
Rick Ramunno, Jesus Garcia and Nielsen pounded away. Quarterback Jordon Hudspeth completed three passes on the drive for 48 yards as well - to Aryen Hart, Nielsen and Sam Boyd. The Devils also converted on two fourth downs as Cody Thurston and Nielsen moved the sticks.
This was pretty impressive, considering Nielsen understandably didn't have his explosive first step, not to mention that both Jay Dostal and Zeke Sandoval were both out with injuries.
The drive stalled on the Lobos' 5 and Eagle Valley's Travis Edgar split the uprights for a 3-0 lead.
Conifer capitalized on a Hudspeth interception late in the second quarter. The Lobos moved the ball 45 yards, capped by a 6-yard rumble by Matthew McClintock. The Devils blocked the extra point, and the two teams went into the break with Conifer leading, 6-3.
Conifer added to that lead with Trujillo's fumble recovery and a safety when Eagle Valley had a bad snap in its end zone. Down 16-3, the Devils defense made its stand. Roberto Cortez launched a perfect 67-yard punt, that pinned the Lobos on their 1 with 8:49 left in the game.
The Lobos went three-and-out, and Eagle Valley took over on its 44-yard line. Using multiple backs, Sam Boyd started the drive with a 9-yard run. The Devils converted another fourth down, this time on defensive holding. Victor Avilla brought the Devils to the doorstep with a 27-yard scamper. Ramunno punched it in from there, closing the game to 16-10 with 5:38 left.
Eagle Valley's defense produced another three-and-out. The Devils started on their 36 with 2:56 remaining, but their fourth turnover of the day, an interception by Conifer'sClay Wegenhals, snuffed out dreams of a dramatic comeback.
"I'm so proud of them," John Ramunno said. "These seniors gave me everything they had. They were here five nights a week during the summer. We went to football camp. They were dedicated. They trained. That's all you can ask from kids. To go from eight losses one year, and flip it over to eight wins, that's huge."
Conifer takes on Silver Creek next week in the semifinals while Rifle plays Pueblo East.

- A 'Sons of Anarchy' game-changer in season-opener
A lot of things happened on "Straw," tonight's Season 6 opener of "Sons of Anarchy": Toric pushed Clay and Tara to rat out SAMCRO; There was a brutal clash over "torture porn"; Jax hooked up with a hooker; Tig drowned a thug in a tub of urine; Juice got his butt kicked; and they played a really sad Leonard Cohen song.
But the one plot twist that will certainly draw the most attention is the school shooting that went down in the final moments of the episode, recalling horrific memories of Sandy Hook, Columbine and other such tragic nightmares.
On the screen, we see a nameless young blond boy who we've followed at various times through the episode roll up his sleeves (he's a cutter), pull a gun out of his backpack and walk into his Stockton-based school where all hell breaks loose.
The sequence mercifully spared us the sight of any bloody carnage -- a rarity for this show -- as the camera kept its distance. But it was nevertheless traumatic and I experienced a few extra provincial-bred shudders. Oh, Kurt Sutter, why, oh why, did you have to set the shooting in Stockton? Hasn't that beleaguered Central California city been through enough?
Full disclosure: I grew up in Stockton and attended a Catholic school like the one depicted in the show. I also have sad memories of a real-life grade-school shooting that took place in Stockton long before Columbine -- in 1989 -- that killed five students and wounded 29 at Cleveland Elementary. So this sequence naturally hit home.
But I digress. It will be interesting to see what kind of reaction the jarring plot twist provokes in chat rooms and on blogs -- whether fans felt it went over the line or not. In some ways, it felt like it ceased being a "SOA" episode.
Sutter, of course, knew it would be a point of contention. At this summer's TV critics's press tour he addressed why he chose to go there:
"I've wanted to do that story for about three years," he said. "Obviously, I knew that it would be somewhat controversial, but I feel like, as much as I wouldn't do something because it was controversial, I'm also not going to do something because it's controversial. I feel like it's an organic story to our world, in terms of it being what these guys do. I feel like, thematically, it's the right fit because we have a lead character that's a father who's trying to figure out if he can raise his sons and avoid the kind of violence that happens.
"So, that will continue to play out. There's a lot of blood and guts in my show. It is a signature of the show, but nothing is done gratuitously. The events that happen in the premiere are really the catalyst for the third act of this morality play that we're doing."
I've already seen the next two "SOA" episodes and the shooting does, indeed, continue to have an impact on the story line. It's interesting to see Jax's reaction to it, and exactly how it affects his decisions as SAMCRO leader.
But that's still to come. For now, what was your reaction to the gut wrenching plot twist? Did you think it went too far? Or did you approve of the way Sutter and director Paris Barclay handled it? And what did you think of the rest of the episode?

Eleven years ago, Terry Cunningham had a brilliant idea -- since he wanted to get back into acting and didn't want to travel all over the Bay Area to audition, he'd have a theater of his own and do his acting close to home.
And with that, the San Ramon Community Theater was launched, and, almost as quickly, Cunningham found himself bogged down in administrative details with little time left over for acting. Soon, he'll be relinquishing some of his duties at the theater so he can do more acting.
"So, I'm doing both those things for the same reason," he says. "But it isn't going to survive if we can't save the theater."
It's a thought that haunts Cunningham who, although he wants to do more acting, hates the idea of seeing the theater he has nurtured for 11 years fail because the right people won't be available to run it.
"People have stepped forward, but they don't have the time for all this -- it takes more time than you know," he says. "It's just a conglomeration of everything."
So he's beginning to hold a series of Thursday night meetings, at which interested people will go over the myriad things that go into running what has developed over the years as a classic little theater.
"By the community, for the community," he says with much pride in his voice. Even though it's a tiny, 90-seat theater tucked cozily into a corner of the Dougherty Station Community Center at 17011 Bollinger Canyon Road, even if the shows play only about 12 performances, attention must be paid to many detail.
Somebody has to direct, build sets, sew costumes, plan the lighting, secure the music, design and print the programs, shoot publicity pictures and do dozens of other things critical to producing a successful play.
"I'm not the best person at asking people to do the things I can do myself; the playbills, the purchasing -- those things I can do," says the former accountant, who is hoping a rule by committee and consensus can prove a way to have a number of people taking care of the necessary tasks on a more or less regular basis.
And people are always willing to volunteer for a show or two. Getting help has never been that much of a problem, but the real concern is having one solid individual or a permanent committee making the decisions on a day-to-day basis
"With the committee we've put together, we've been able to choose the season, assign directors, but there's much more that needs to be done," he says, pausing for the punch-line, "actually, dictators do a much better job in many ways.'
Cunningham's concern for the theater he and Elizabeth Benson cofounded 11 years ago is touching. There is an obvious affection there for the little theater that does about three shows per season.
At times, he speaks of it as something of a child growing older and moving toward adulthood, easily recounting funny moments and memories and absolutely convinced the little theater has changed and enriched a good number of lives in town.
And it will continue. Auditions were held this week for "Sleepy Hollow," a musical that will open in September, followed by "Happy Holidays," a Christmastime show, and "Robin Hood," the spring show.
Cunningham won't direct any of them. But he'll be around, maybe in the role of an executive director, helping with the hard-knocks theater education he's gotten over the past decade. He'll be there in some sort of role, probably. But, just maybe, he'll be on stage somewhere else, too.
TRI-VALLEY HIGH, THE SERIES: An improvised teen soap opera from the award-winning Creatures of Impulse, a 26-member team of high school-age improvisers, continues its series for the next two Wednesdays.

My parents in Philly still without power after 36 hours but much worse conditions it seems for those in NY/NJ.
coyote: Happy Belated B-day, brother! For the next 5 months we will be the same age and then I will pass onto the next AG ahead of you! Love to "run silently" or quietly as you describe. Amazing how your body will talk back to you when you focus on it.
melodylea: glad you are back and enjoying the new kicks!
mkayc: Hope you are felling better.
debm: good luck this week with your HM. You have worked hard and will do well. Looking forward to RR after.
ogr: way to be disciplined. Live to "race" another day.
jmsab: great TM workout...still don't know how you can stand the TM but seems to work for you!
NHLA: continued good luck with MIL. Love to read your run reports.
snerb: Happy hunting! Running, and our group, will still be here when you get back!
nrdgirl: nice 8 miles on the rebound! And great job on the relay!
justrundan and webpro: hope you are doing well with marathon recovery.
Thanks to all for your positive thoughts and feedbacks about recent HM's. Really appreciate all the support.
After a week off, I went out for a leisurely 6 mile, or so, run, on Sunday. Took a familiar route, but opposite direction, and never looked back. Found a new trail, ran through a pumpkin festival, all the while watching the sun fade over the Rocky Mountains. Realized at some point that I was mildly lost, asked for directions from some trail walkers only to run another 1/2 mile in the wrong direction. Finally got turned around and headed for home as sun was setting, and I was running through open fields (remember my recent coyote encounter).
needless to say, I picked up the pace, got back to major roadways and then had a brutal uphill toward home. Halfway up, I looked at my watch and found out that I had run over 8 miles already so declared defeat and called DW to pick me up. Not exactly how I planned it, but was great to be back out running.
Took Monday off, went to gym for first time in two weeks this morning, and hope to run a familiar trail here in Austin tomorrow morning.
Have a great week, and stay fearless!
6.4 miles 50 min. Night run. Cold and windy.

NRDGirl - Reading your post made me examine my excesses that I had so successfully ignored. Ugh. I've gained 7 lbs since 10/21 - 10 days? Two Asian buffets. Several restaurant dinners. Not a drop of alcohol. Three breakfast bashes. Pancakes, waffles and french toast, oh my! Thank you, I think. Congratulations on your Atlanta Marathon Relay run! You are fast!! and glad you're enjoying your runs. I've been through Asics, Nike and Brooks. Will look at New Balance and Newtons next. I'm having trouble getting enough room for all five of my toes.
NHLA - 2 runs a day because you were sick? I saw the Flying Nun go by ==> hahaha! may have been Crabcake crazy.
Yeah, the sinus trouble is in my head. It may actually clear up while I'm running because it only bothers me afterwards but the skin is starting to peel off the bottom of my nose so I'm thinking I should start paying attention. That was an excellent explanation of race running! I've done that exact thing but would not know how to say it in words. 13 miles in 1 hr 40 min is too fast to even be on my list of goals. So sorry about MIL. It is sad to have to watch. 60 mph winds? Srsly? I get further running on the ground than in the trees. I have to wait to watch "Getting Old" at home but not fond of the title. One of my mottos: You can only be young once but you can be immature forever.
Mel - glad you're back and enjoying yourself and your new shoes!! Thanks for the well wishes. I may be getting better or it may be too cold for allergens - today.
OC - a big belated Happy Birthday to ya!! Actually, Happy Birthmonth!! It's your last year as a forty-something. Enjoy!! Love your new shoes!! it doesn't make you feminine to enjoy them. You're just wearing them to run, right?
Deb - Great job on the 13.2 miles!!! You will kill that HM next Sunday! Hope you haven't had too much storm damage. Relax for the race. Running is optional.
Dan - Whenever you want to feel good about your times, look at mine. When I run any faster, I feel like my chest is going to burst after about 15 min. so I'm pretty much stuck in this spot. I know it's time to start planning but how do you pick races this far in advance? All the ones that seemed so important when I registered didn't seem as important when the time came and the one I enjoyed the most, the Air Force, was an accident.
jmsab - Ahhahahaha!! Congratulations!! With that time, you probably would have been first in your AG anyway. With the wind and rain and cold, I'm starting to love running on the TM so you'll be able to tease me about it soon.
Ogr44 - Jeesh, 13 mm is a great 10k pace for walking!! A friend had trained for the marathon and after pulling his achilles wouldn't even consider run/walking let alone walking. It's hard to walk fast and takes a long time!
OshCat- Congratulations on the great 5k time, particularly with a hill!! lead legs can mean a lot of different things. don't beat yourself up about it.
Linus - Sounds like your run was a great success. Getting lost is how we find new places? At least that's my approach, not that I have a lot of choice since I'm constantly getting lost. Haven't been back on a trail since my trail race and am in no hurry which of course probably means I should have done it already.
*ran* Sat., Mon. and Tues. at the gym because I just didn't want to be outside in the cold, wet and wind. In spite of being at very easy paces, the first two runs were a slog. Sat was only 2 mi. and Mon. 4 mi. Then last night I don't know what happened but I felt great, ran faster, farther and my heart rate was lower through the whole run. I'm thinking the hr is the key to knowing when you're having a comeback.
I need a training plan for after the Philly marathon on 11/18. Can't decide whether to train for a full in May (the Pig) or try to run faster HAny suggestions from you mighty masters?

It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
Good: I made progress by starting my 1st run from the door steps of the house rather than driving to the park. It's 1 miler longer but nothing wrong with that.
Bad: My nasals became dry from the cold weather because I was breathing through my nose the entire time.
Ugly: My nose started to bleed due to a combination of dry nasals and not enough hydration.
Maybe I'll get used to running from the house. The idea of crossing traffic is very non-theraputic.
Ran with my son's friend this morning. Same route as last week, with the .75 mile hill at the two-mile mark. We did better today than last week, with great weather. 34:12 for the 4.25 miles.
Marykay..... When I run outdoors and try fartleks, I find myself running at normal pace before I wanted to. When I'm on the TM, I have to run as fast as I set it until it slows down or I manually slow it down. I like the TM for that -- making me work harder or longer.
linus.... Always good to have a backup plan (or ride).
igotwings.... Could have been worse ugly -- GI attack or something like that.
Have great days, runners.
Great video! Mary was hilarious! But more like 82. Now that I've experienced hospice care first hand during Mom's last month, I have great respect for them and the work they do. It must be comforting to know your MIL will not be alone and will receive essential care?

MaryKay try the Hanson's plan. Lots of tempo & speed-work.
Just looked at the Hansons' plan. Lots of running there. Did you do all the weeks? I see the tempo/speed and am attracted to the extra running days. May give it a try and if the body doesn't reject, stick with it.

Hi everyone!! Huricane Sandy kicked our behinds and we just now got our power, water, phone and internet back. Three very long days! I'm SO behind in responding to you all, so I'll just have to say...great job and keep at it team. Deb, I know your 1/2 is coming up, right? Best of luck I know you will do well. Back to a normal life tomorrow, but thinking of the families in NJ and NY who are still without power and homes.

Prayers and best wishes to all those who were impacted during the storm...
No running since sunday but I did karate tonight for an hour and 1/2. nice change of pace and makes me use other muscles...

Marykay... I think if your body rejected anything, you would somehow find a way to convince it to give it a go.
Melody.... We had no power for 8 days during the Ice Storm of '98. As bad as that was, we still had our house and personal belongings. I felt so helpless just watching the film footage on the news of those houses burning in NJ. I cannot imagine a whole community dealing with what some towns/cities deal with after such powerful storms and events -- hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, etc. -- people, houses, whole neighborhoods just gone.
Ogr.... Right. Change of pace.
Got out of work a little late tonight, so skipped the TM and waited to do some cross training at home after dinner. Haven't done any for a few days. Two sets of core/strength exercises, then an average 20 minutes on the bike -- about 7.5 - 8 miles.
Stay safe, runners.
I'm just posting quickly, then off to bed. 9:30 is too late for me! I ran with a group tonight, up North Table Mountain. I've never run the north mesa before. We started at sunset, so after the first mile the headlamps came on. I ran with a sub-group that was a little faster than I, so I got a good workout. I ran harder than I had planned, but it was a lot of fun. Saw some deer in our headlamps. An hour and 40 minutes, I figure we did 8 miles, and so does the guy I was chasing. The guy who just ran the Leadville 100.And his wife. Who ran it, too. Anyway, I figure they know their miles and paces. It was a good time
I'm volunteering at ta local 10 mile trail race Sunday. linuscatch - Come on out to Bear Creek if you're in town. http://www.runuphillracing.com/
I can't remember when you said you'd be in Austin.
Run free!!
Hi gang, I've been checking in but haven't had much to say so figured I'd save it all up for one post.
Deb - you're going to kick major butt on your HM, enjoy!
Melody - glad you're back, hope your community isn't too hard hit. Been praying for everyone in the East, such devastation is hard to wrap your mind around.
Ogr - glad your neck of the woods is ok. Karate = kicking butt in a different manner.
OC - sounds like a really nice night run.
igotwings - crossing traffic sux but is a necessary evil for those of us who run in urban areas. I do try to map my runs for quieter side streets that parallel the busier roads to try to minimize those crossings.
For me, I ran 2 nights on the treadmill after work, trying to pick up my pace a little on these shorter runs and so far it's going ok. On the other nights it's been cross training either on weights or going to a class that i enjoy. Still working on additional core work to make sure I won't have back problems when I ramp up the run training again for the half next April.
This morning a few co-workers and I were sharing running stories which was a lot of fun, most of my close friends don't run so those conversations are few and far between.
I also issued a challenge to some workout friends in an effort to recruit more runners to my team for the Jingle Bell run (for the Arthritis Foundation) this Dec - for every person who joins the team before 11/18 I will run 1 mile Thanksgiving morning (max of 10 miles). So far it's an easy run, just myself and one other friend on the team so far. I'll keep you posted as (hopefully) the mile tally goes up!
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
NHLA - thanks for the video - it made my day
MelodyLea - glad life is back to normal!

Tool | November 2012
How Much Should I Put in My Flexible Spending Account?
This calculator will estimate your 2013 tax savings if you use your employer's flexible spending plan to pay for medical and/or dependent care expenses. "Flex plans" let you set aside a portion of your salary before taxes to pay for dependent care costs and medical expenses not covered by insurance. Once you pay for the expense, you are reimbursed by your plan.
There's one drawback to flex plans, though. If you don't use all the money in your account by the end of the plan year, you lose it (although many employers give you until March 15 of the following year to use the money). You could still come out ahead if you save more in taxes than you forfeit. You don't want to lose a dime, of course, but to encourage you to take full advantage of the tax benefit—and not forfeit tax breaks by putting in too little—we'll show you the minimum you'd need to spend to come out ahead.

Unemployment increases to 6.6% in Henderson County
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 10:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 10:53 a.m.
Henderson County unemployment increased from 6.4 percent in May to 6.6 percent in June, according to a news release from the N.C. Department of Commerce.
Unemployment went up in 81 out of 100 counties in North Carolina, where not-seasonally-adjusted jobless rates sit at 9.3 percent.
Henderson County's unemployment rate is still 1.1 percent lower than in June 2012.
Transylvania County went against the grain of most counties by lowering its unemployment rate, which dropped from 8.9 percent in May to 8.8 percent in June.
"This is likely from those seeking summer work," said Larry Parker, acting public information director for the N.C. Department of Commerce's Division of Employment Security.
Last year, the rate remained the same over the same time period, he said.
The number of people employed in the county is up by 31 and the number of unemployed has decreased by 68.
Polk County's numbers increased to 6.9 percent unemployment in June from its May unemployment rate of 6.8 percent.
Scotland County had the highest unemployment rate at 16.2 percent, while Currituck County claimed the lowest figure in the state at 5.8 percent.

Everyone has to reschedule a date or is late from time to time, but it's a problem if he makes a habit of it. If he can't commit to something little like that on a regular basis, it's not a good sign.
He brought up marriage on the third date, so you figured he was ready for a long-term thing. Now, he's avoiding you. What gives? He's not mature enough to actually make a commitment if he comes on really strong at first, but then loses interest. That's a sign he's just in it for the thrill of the chase.

3.13-2 Battery
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff alleges that the conduct
of the defendant constituted a battery.
A battery is a harmful or offensive
contact with the person of another.
A harmful contact is one that causes
physical impairment of the condition of another's body, physical pain, or
illness. An offensive contact is one that offends a reasonable sense of
personal dignity.
The contact must be the direct and
immediate consequence of a force exerted by the defendant intentionally,
wantonly, or without the exercise of due care.
Sansone v. Bechtel, 180 Conn. 96, 99
(1980); 2 Restatement (Second), Torts §§ 13, 15, 19 (1965).
Connecticut does not follow the
common-law rule that battery requires intent. Sansone v. Bechtel, supra,
180 Conn. 199, the most recent decision on the subject, states that "[w]e have
long adhered to the rule that an unintentional trespass to the person, or
assault and battery, if it be the direct and immediate consequence of a force
exerted by the defendant wantonly, or imposed without the exercise by him of due
care, would make him liable for resulting injury." (Internal quotation marks
omitted.) This doctrine may eventually need to be reexamined in light of the
Supreme Court's subsequent pronouncement that "[i]t is axiomatic, in the tort
lexicon, that intentional conduct and negligent conduct, although differing only
by a matter of degree . . . are separate and mutually exclusive." American
National Fire Ins. Co. v. Schuss, 221 Conn. 768, 775 (1992). At present,
however, Sansone remains controlling.
The court should additionally
charge the jury on the meaning of "intentionally," "wantonly," or "due care,"
depending on the specific allegations in the case.

Deputies located the bulk of the weapons Tuesday stashed in a brush-covered cave, sheriff's Lt. Steve Knight said. Among the weapons recovered were a World War II-era automatic machine gun with a full belt of ammunition, semi-automatic handguns and Soviet semi-automatic rifles.
Investigators think the weapons and the drugs were destined for the black market, Knight said.
"No matter what, these guns are out of somebody's hands who should not have had them," he said. "This is not a licensed firearm dealer. This is someone who most likely was planning to sell them for criminal purposes."
Deputies obtained a warrant to search the property after they arrested a man who lived there, Ryan Floyd, on a probation violation from earlier gun and marijuana charges. Floyd had been wanted in connection with a stolen truck that had been abandoned by its driver Feb. 2 when a deputy tried to pull it over.
An initial search turned up a handgun, 45 pounds of marijuana and enough empty gun cases that investigators decided to go back for a more thorough search, which led them to the cave stash. They also recovered jewelry, tractors and other items that Humboldt residents have reported as stolen.
Humboldt County prosecutors have charged Floyd, 30, with seven felony drug and weapons charges, although Knight said more charges are pending. He remains jailed on $400,000 bail.
The district attorney's office said Floyd is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 20 and has not yet retained a lawyer.

Bit of a storm in a tea cup but meybe we could have a giggle over it.
This guy Pardew has some cheek. Firstly he spouts a whole load of rubbish about Liverpool at the beginning of the season, a bit more at Christmas. He now tops it all by asking Rodgers for tips on how to beat Anzhi.
I think I may have been tempted to shove Andy Carroll where the sun don't shine.
I know it's all "the managers guild" and inner sanctum stuff but I get the impression he's been around Ashley too long.

Insomniac CEO Aims to Preserve EDM 'Spirit' at Electric Daisy Carnival
The electronic dance music (EDM) community has been under a microscope since the scene first emerged from the underground a few years ago. From a series of drug-related deaths and security issues at major dance music festivals, to claims that the music has been "dumbed down" to make it more radio friendly, many have been quick to point out the "corrupting effects" of EDM's explosion onto the mainstream.
One dance music pioneer, however, is trying to keep the positive energy and uplifting aspects of the music alive. In an interview with Speakeasy, Pasquale Rotella, CEO of Insomniac Events, told us that with dance music's newfound fame, he sometimes worries that people will want to treat it "just like any other popular genre of music."
"This is something completely different," he says. "In the early '90s (when house music first began to take root in America), people got that. And it's still amazing now. The spirit, the culture behind it all, that hasn't changed."
And it doesn't have to. In an effort to capture that spirit and spread it to new generations, Rotella is bringing Insomniac's marquee event, Electric Daisy Carnival, to various cities around the world, including Mexico City, Orlando, London and Las Vegas. The festival will make a stop in the tri-state area on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25, 2014.
"It feels like we're really bringing something really unique to New York," he says.
Every market is different, and when Rotella first brought EDC to the East Coast in 2012, the rave culture that he was accustomed to out west "was just beginning to develop" here. "West Coast people, they dress up in costume, they trade bracelets (known as candy); that tradition was pretty much nonexistent when we first started," he says. "It's been cool to see that spirit grow."
For the carnival's third year in New York, fans can expect a celebration of music and art, including four stages, dozens of theatrical performers, fireworks, and of course, carnival rides. Following issues with space and sound at Citi Field last year, the festival is returning to the much larger MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which Rotella says will help enhance the experience, particularly on the décor side.
Insomniac is inviting aspiring local artists and musicians to contribute to the show through a competition called the Discovery Project. Although they have done it for DJs and producers in the past, this year one winner will also be invited to build an art installation on site.
While EDC is about a lot more than just the music, the mix of talent on this year's roster exemplifies the current diversity in electronic music — from the sweet, melodic builds of trance, to the gritty, pavement-pounding kick drums behind trap music, to the steady, soothing sounds of deep house.
"I try to cover all spectrums," Rotella says. "From what is considered to be the underground sound at the moment, all the way up to people who are producing the big, commercial tracks."
Some big name DJs who will bring their talents to New York include Hardwell, Calvin Harris, and Tiësto, as well as EDC mainstays Afrojack and Steve Angello. Dance music veterans Green Velvet, Marc Kinchen (MK), Carl Cox and John Digweed will also make an appearance.
In a nod to the fast-moving nature of the electronic music scene, the festival will include Martin Garrix, the 17-year-old Dutch protégé of Scooter Braun whose platinum hit "Animals" skyrocketed him to main-stage fame. "A year ago, I didn't know who Martin Garrix was," says Rotella. "Now, he's one of the hottest guys out there."
A few other fresh faces on the roster include trap heavyweights Carnage and DJ Snake (of "Turn Down for What" fame), deep house duo Dusky and the head-banging, genre-defying trio of Dutch DJs, Yellow Claw.
"When you get down to it, it's the energy. It's the spirit behind it all. That's what I'm trying to capture at these events so that it carries on," Rotella says.

Waiter, I'll have what that beagle's having.
That's right, California: You may soon be dining out with more doggies than you can shake a tail at.
Gov. Jerry Brown -- owner of Sutter, California's "first dog" and an adorable Welsh corgi to boot -- has signed into law a bill making it perfectly legal to bring your dog out to dinner with you. (No word yet on whether the governor and Sutter are planning a night out to celebrate.)
Here's the fine print: the dog must remain in an outdoor-dining section, be on a leash, behave, and not be in the same area where food is being prepared.
(Yeah, right. As if some dog's gonna want to be in a place where food's being prepared.)
"I wish everyone 'bone-appetit,'" Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, the Assembly member who championed the bill, said in a statement. On her Facebook page, the lawmaker added: "Amidst all the horrific and depressing news around us, I hope this bill helps make people a little happier, and businesses who wish to accommodate diners with dogs safe from being unnecessarily cited."
The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, should provide some relief to dog lovers statewide, including owners who've been bringing their pets to restaurants for years and patrons who, in the eyes of the law, have been illegally allowing it.
"Hmm," said David Wiesner, chef/owner of Siena Bistro in Willow Glen, who for years has had a very pro-pooch patio policy on Thursday nights. "The law going into effect in January is the law that I thought was already in effect. This won't get me into trouble, will it?"
Wiesner has plenty of company among Californians long under the impression that dining in public with Fido was perfectly kosher. Until recently, according to an employee, the pet-crazy Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Concord would allow mutts at mealtime until some heartless anti-dog diners complained.
The new law overturns a prohibition on pets at restaurants and allows the practice at the discretion of the business. But it also allows cities and counties to still impose local restrictions on dogs dining out.
Wiesner expects his diners will embrace the new law.
"A lot of people think of dogs as members of their family,'' he says. "So now, if the pets are well-behaved, there's no reason they can't bring them along -- as long as they stay out on the patio."

I am getting a little acquainted with technical drawing especially using QCAD.
I started a technical drawing for my house and use a template I found in the part library (iso_en_a1.dxf ).
When using dimensions I found out that the numbers given where not exactly what I expected so I read the manual and... QCAD always works on a 1:1 scale. With infinite zoom not I problem.
My question: Can I rescale the whole drawing using the Scale functionality or is there a better way?
The main issue here is that I want all elements to stay on there own/current layers.

Knitter's Review
January 5, 2006
Happy New Year! We're only five days into 2006 and I can already tell it's going to be a great year.
I just came in from outside, where it's a brisk 17 degrees—but the handknit angora scarf around my neck kept me toasty warm.
For many of us, scarves are a constant accessory during the winter months. I'm not talking about the flashy colorful novelty-yarn ones that are so popular, but the plush, warm, supersoft scarves guaranteed to keep our internal thermometers at a toasty 98.6 degrees.
There's no shortage of patterns for such scarves. But why do many of them call for yarns that are the tactile equivalent of an emery board?
This week, I'll show you
more than 10 yarns that beg to be worn around your neck

Mid-Ohio Valley brides and grooms-to-be will have plenty of opportunity to find local service providers to help with their wedding planning at the "From the Engagement to the Honeymoon" Bridal Extravaganza 2013, scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m Sunday.
The 37th annual event will showcase the wares and services of 64 area vendors, all gathered under one roof at the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center at Marietta College.
"The purpose is..(to have) everything that a bride needs to plan her wedding, from the engagement to her honeymoon," said Marcia Stewart, event and wedding coordinator and owner of Ash-Hanson Flowers and Wedding Innovations in Marietta. "It's like one-stop shopping. Many (brides and grooms) have been able to secure their professionals in one afternoon at Bridal Extravaganza."
Finding local businesses to assist with the all-special wedding day can also make for less anxiety when the "I dos" are about to begin.
"For any circumstance that arises you have a local business person to take care of everything," said Cheryl Lang, owner of A Unique Flower & Gift Shop in Marietta.
"If something happens to the tuxedo or gown, you can call the vendor and they're right there," Stewart said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "From the Engagement to the Honeymoon" Bridal Extravaganza 2013.
When: Sunday; 12:30 p.m. registration; 1 to 5 p.m., event.
Where: Dyson Baudo Recreation Center, Marietta College.
Admission: $5 per person.
Prizes: 64 vendor-donated prizes after 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. fashion shows. Grand prize, $500 in "Bridal Extravaganza Bucks" to be used at any show vendor; grand prize will be drawn after 4 p.m. show.
Contact: 376-2679; www.mariettabridalshow.com.
Vendors also do their best to show the latest trends in wedding colors and styles, even distributing educational materials.
"Elegance, glamor and glitz" are on trend for 2013 brides, said Stewart.
"Even our country has turned to country chic," she added.
Elegant flowers include peonies, hydrangeas, lilies and roses.
The importance of glitz can also be seen in floral accents.
"We have little diamond accents, rhinestones, butterflies with bling, and hearts with bling to go in the center of the flowers," Lang said.
Vendors, including caterers, cake bakers, entertainers, florists, health and wellness centers and more, will be from nearby towns including Cambridge, Parkersburg and St. Marys.
Bridal Extravaganza is a way to get good exposure for a wedding-themed business.
"We get to see lots and lots of brides and future brides. It really gets your name out there," Lang said.
The event can also make attendees aware of just what a local business can do when it comes to weddings.
"Because we have a small restaurant, some people don't even know Austyn's does catering and big wedding receptions," said Phi Chen, owner and chef at Austyn's in Marietta.
"We've been doing catering for 12 years, catering for 50 to 500 people," he added.
Austyn's will offer several "signature dishes" for tasting on the day of the bridal event.
Those who have tasted wedding cakes from B&G Cakes in Walker, W.Va. at past Bridal Extravaganza events have raved over owner/decorator Brenda Carothers' cakes and icing, she said.
Carothers' cakes are moist, never frozen and her icing recipe "doesn't leave that Crisco-ee film in the roof of your mouth," said Carothers. "When you bite into it, it doesn't overwhelm you with sweetness."
For her trendy clients at Bridal Extravaganza, Carothers will be showcasing a three-tier cake, with each layer iced in a different pastel shade.
"Colored icing is popular this year: pastels and dark shades of purple, green and burnt orange," she said.
Three fashion shows will be held during Bridal Extravaganza, at 2, 3 and 4 p.m.
"Every show is different," said Stewart.
"One will be princess dresses from Disney, one more casual and one more elegant," she added.
Hair stylists and makeup artists will be doing hair and makeup during the event and for the fashion shows.
"This is so the bride can see new styles and hairdos," Stewart said.
Door prizes provided by each of the event's 64 vendors will be given away after each fashion show. Prizes can be gift certificates, or be good for free merchandise and gifts.
A grand prize drawing for $500 in "Bridal Extravaganza Bucks" will be held after the 4 p.m. fashion show.
"It's good for $500 to use at any show vendor," said Stewart.
More than 1,000 people attended the 2012 event, according to Stewart.
"I think the attendance will be a little better this year. The weather is looking good," she added.

Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 12:36 a.m.
COLUMBIA — Aleighsa Welch scored 13 points, Ieasia Walker added 12 and No. 18 South Carolina played its usual fierce defense to defeat Vanderbilt 64-48 Thursday night.
The Gamecocks (14-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), ranked third nationally in scoring defense at 47.4 points per game, held an opponent below 50 for the 12th time in 16 games.
Vanderbilt (12-4, 2-1), which had won nine straight, was averaging 71.9 points per game but shot just 26.5 percent (13 of 49).
After the Commodores took an early 7-4 lead, the Gamecocks outscored them 25-5 over the next 11:05 for a 29-12 lead. After that run, in which Welch had eight points, South Carolina's lead never dipped below 10.
Sancheon White had eight rebounds and three blocked shots for South Carolina.
Jasmine Lister and Heather Bowe scored 11 each for Vanderbilt and Christina Foggie had nine, giving the junior 1,004 career points.

Style is more than the color of your compression gear and the look of your cleats. While we believe in expressing yourself during the game, true freedom of expression is grounded in your time spent off the court. Whether your street style is inspired by your game, current trends, or the style of celebs and athletes, we've got the gear you need to look and perform your best, in sizes for men, women, and children.
Eastbay's first passion was shoes, and it is currently still one of our top priorities when it comes to our gear. Retro sneakers are mainstays in the fashion game, like the iconic Air Force 1, Air Max 90, or Adidas Superstar, to name a few. We're also always on the hunt for new sneakers to stock our collection with, like the Air Max Tavas and ZX Flux. We take pride in being a huge sneakerhead destination, and aim to stock the best of the best. Whether paired with basketball shorts or jeans, our selection of casual sneakers keeps up with all of your style needs.
For the limited times when sneakers just don't cut it — for their own well-being or yours — we've got you covered. When the mortal enemies of footwear appear — rain, snow, and sleet — our supply of winter and rain boots keep you warm and dry, without sacrificing style. Brands like Sorel, UGG, Timberland, and The North Face are ready to take over where your sneakers left off. On the opposite side of the spectrum, when the weather heats up, we've got sandals that take you from the beach to the street in style. TEVA, Keen, and Nike all keep you well-stocked in that sense. Sometimes the occasion (or your mother) calls for a polished look; brands like Stacy Adams, Steve Madden, and Clarks take you from athletic banquets to homecoming in style.
Now that you've got shoes out of the way, let's talk clothing. Everyone owns at least one pair of jeans, and we carry one of the biggest names in the denim game — Levi 's. Streetwear brands like Akoo, Southpole, and Civil Clothing offer fresh tees, jackets, and denim that are on-trend and have a quality look, without breaking the bank.
If sport-inspired gear is more of your scene, we've got a huge assortment of Nike, adidas, Under Armour, and PUMA to keep you looking fresh, feeling comfortable, and performing at your best. Technologies like Nike's Tech Fleece and PrimaLoft ® insulation are designed to take on winter's worst, while sweat-wicking fabric, like DriFIT ® technology and ClimaCool ® are just as comfortable in the gym as they are in warm weather. We've got gear that hooks up to the latest sneaker releases, so you look great from head to toe.
We know that style is important to you, so we make it a top priority to keep you as well-equipped on the street as you are in the game with top brands, styles, and colors. So whether you're an elite athlete, sneakerhead, or a combination of both, Eastbay's got the gear you need, on and off the field.

Deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak appeared in court today to face charges of corruption and ordering the killing of unarmed protesters earlier this year. He was wheeled in on a hospital bed acting the part of a sad old man, along with his klepto scumbag sons, Gamal and Alaa. Hard times for the Mubaraks. So, in honor of Hosni's not so glorious return to Cairo, here's a quick look at the man in happier times.

Seaside Cottages
Those famous lyrics of the music hall song 'Oh I do like to
be beside the seaside…' conjure up images of the Great
British seaside holiday - think stripy deckchairs,
buckets and spades, fish and chips. They still take some beating,
especially if you have kids in tow. And the best place to stay? In
one of our seaside cottages, of course!
Seaside holiday cottages for everyone!
We feature a huge selection of holiday cottages, all within a
mile or so of the coast. Rub shoulders with burly fishermen in
sleepy fishing villages almost lost in time. Discover island
hideaways and other remote coastal cottages just perfect for
romantic escapes. Or opt for the thrills and spills of big seaside
resorts, offering round-the-clock entertainment for all the family.
We also feature a delightful collection of sea view cottages and
beach cottages mere steps from the shore.
Walk coastal paths and watch dolphins swim offshore. Play golf
on fairways overlooking the sea. Wend your way over dunes to find a
pristine beach for that perfect picnic. Scamper across sweeping
sands with your four-legged friend. Add sandcastles, rock pools,
paddling, swimming, surfing and more. Round off your day strolling
the prom and watch the sun set or enjoying the lively banter at a
local shanty inn. Or simply unwind at your lovely seaside holiday
home. The choice is yours!

A burglar expressing guilt about stealing $800 from a western Michigan store three decades ago has repaid the money, plus some interest.
The thief sent a note and $1,200 in $100 bills to the Barry County sheriff's department in Hastings. They arrived Monday.
The writer admits breaking into the Middle Mart on Michigan north of Middleville about 30 years ago.
The writer asks for "help in locating a man" to whom the writer owes the money.
The writer expresses sorrow at living "with this guilt too long." Undersheriff Bob Baker says it isn't the kind of thing that happens every day.
Inflation has taken a bite out of the value of the dollar in 30 years, and the stolen $800 would be worth about $1,800 today.

First of all I would like to thank every person that participated in creating the config files for the Philips TV. I've used one for my 42PFL3507H tv and it works flawlessly!
But, I seem to be stuck at one probably simple problem. What I would like to know is, if it's possible to select different subtitles and, what's even more important switch on and switch off subtitles from my Philips TV?
When I start the movie, let's say with the PMS settings for subtitles eng,rus the movie starts with English subtitles, controversy if I start it with the settings rus,eng - the movie starts with Russian subtitles. But, If on the remote I click Info button and then select subtitles Off or Subtitles On - nothing happens, the subtitles are still there and I am not able to switch them off. Probably, it should be like this and I'm asking for an impossible thing, but still would like to confirm that.
Another question is if it's possible to change the soundtrack of the movie? Let's say I'm streaming an mkv file containing both English and Russian audio track, and when I click on the remove the Info button and select audio track what I see is just one audiotrack with the name "Undefined". Again, not sure if this is possible, as probably PMS streams the movie only with one soundtrack, but still.
Anyways, thanks very much for all your efforts guys!
