Nov. 6 voters will have tough decisions to make about the future of the nation, state and county.
Wednesday night, the League of Women Voters of the Tiffin Area hosted several candidates, with many stances on different issues, but all had one goal in mind: to help the voter make a wise and informed decision on Election Day.
The four Seneca County commissioners attended and were questioned about the county's most pressing issues.
Republican Fred Zoeller, who is running against incumbent Democrat Ben Nutter, said bringing jobs to Seneca County is the "nucleus of (his) running for commissioner."
"We need to become a pitcher versus a catcher," Zoeller said about being more assertive in terms economic growth. "I think the attitude of the county has been more of a 'If business comes this way, I'll catch it,' but I believe we need to be more proactive."
Nutter, who has served eight years as commissioner, said government does not create jobs, but rather creates an environment for businesses to succeed, thus creating job opportunities.
Nutter said he and fellow commissioners have been able to give several manufacturing companies an opportunity to expand in the past couple of years.
Republican Holly Stacy, who is running against Paul Shoemaker for the seat now occupied by Dave Sauber, said Seneca County "needs to make sure that it touts the many assets it has."
She also said that working with city, state and federal governments is important in helping the local economy expand.
Shoemaker, who is running as a nonpartisan candidate, said he would work with other local leaders to bring new businesses to Seneca County.
He said focusing on retaining current businesses, big and small, also should be a priority for the commissioners.
When asked what the county's biggest budget priorities should be, Zoeller said, "Safety, fire and EMS are paramount."
Nutter said during his time as commissioner, he and the board were able to "weather the storm fiscally" when facing the biggest recession since the Great Depression, and were able to balance the budget without cutting vital services.
Stacy said the No. 1 priority is safety. She said if the county is not safe, people will not want to live in the area, and businesses will not want to operate here.
Shoemaker listed his top priorities in the order of safety, building maintenance and training staff.
In his closing remarks, Shoemaker said when he was young, there were more job opportunities in Seneca County. He said the county is losing people and tax money, and he wants to help bring people back to area he's lived for his whole life.
"When I set my mind to something, I get it done," he said. "You get what you see with me. When I tell you something, it's the truth, it's what I believe and it's what I will go for."
Stacy said she wants to bring her 26 years of combined experience from working at the Sandusky Chamber of Commerce and Old Fort Board of Education to the commissioners' office.
"I will certainly use (my experience) to do what I can to make sure Seneca County remains a great place to live, work and raise a family," she said.
Nutter said he is proud he and the other commissioners have been fiscally responsible and have made the tough choices during his eight years on the board.
He said he was able to address pressing problems Seneca County has faced for more than 30 years, and he pointed to getting the juvenile center built and to generating revenue by adding on to the county jail.
In closing, Zoeller said he wants to build economic growth by soliciting businesses to come to Seneca County.
"I love Tiffin," he said. "And we cannot grow in prosperity through budget cuts. I think the commissioners have done an adequate job at living within their budget, but that's not how we're going to grow."
Later, Mayor Aaron Montz spoke in support of the city's quarter-percent income tax increase.
If the tax does not pass, several services will be cut, including the fire department, which would close the north side fire station on most days, Montz said.
The city also would have to cut funding for parks programs, the city pool and fireworks.
Snow plow services also would be limited because the city will not be able to pay workers overtime to plow roads during the evening and weekends.
Montz said the city has taken steps to increase revenue or reduce costs, such as implementing a lodging tax for people staying in hotels in the city, renegotiating city contracts, regulating Internet cafes and reducing non-union city employees hours.
This is the first time the city has asked for an income tax increase since 1987.
"I was still in diapers in 1987," Montz said.
He said the tax would cost the average Tiffin resident 25 cents a day, and it is vital to maintain important services.
"Vote me out in three years, but please vote for this tax increase," Montz said. "I'm willing to take that blame. If you want to get mad at someone for asking for this tax increase, vote me out. But please, we need this tax increase to pass."
Candidates for state representative from house districts 87 and 88 as well as the two state senator candidates from District 26 spoke as well.
Tanyce Addison, a Democrat who is running against Republican incumbent Dave Burke (who did not attend Candidates Night), said she wants to provide a strong voice for the working class.
Democrat Jeffrey Lehart, who is running to represent the 87th District against Republican incumbent Jeff McClain, said he, like many Ohioans, has faced financial hardships, and with that experience, he has more knowledge of what the average Ohioan goes through.
McClain said he was able to improve Ohio's economy in the two years he's served as state representative. He said Ohio has gone from being ranked 48th to 4th in job creation since being elected.
Democrat Bill Young, who is running for state representative from the 88th District against Republican incumbent Rex Damschroder, said in the 38 years he's taught social studies and government at Ohio schools, he has stressed government should be powered by the people, not politicians.
Damschroder said when he took office two years ago, Ohio faced an $8 billion deficit and had 89 cents in the state's rainy day fund. He said he worked hard to turn things around, and provide the right tools for businesses to create jobs.
The League of Women Voters also gave presentations for state and local issues that are to appear on the ballot in the upcoming election.

I was searching for a book that covers the basic processes of food metabolism in the human body. I couldn't find much on it, but I think I might be using the wrong terms.
Do any of you guys know a good resource to learn more on the topic?
I'm looking for scientific literature in first or second year biology students (my guess is that they would learn about the specifics of how food get's metabolized and get's utilized by the body).

Question: Im 16 and pregnant.I want to be emancipated,but I feel I may need public assistance such as food stamps and cash assistance because I'm currently unemployed.I also need help finding a place because I'm getting kicked out.Can a pregnant teen become emancipated and get on food stamps and cash assistance/?And is there anyone who can legally help an emancipated pregnant teen find a place of their own?
The Arizona laws about emancipation can be found in Title 12 (beginning with A.R.S. § 12-2451) of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Section (A) of A.R.S. § 12-2451 states:
A minor who wishes to be emancipated may file a petition for an emancipation order with the clerk of the court in the county in which the minor resides if all of the following apply:
- The minor is at least sixteen years of age.
- The minor is a resident of this state.
- The minor is financially self-sufficient.
- The minor acknowledges in writing that the minor has read and understands information that is provided by the court and that explains the rights and obligations of an emancipated minor and the potential risks and consequences of emancipation.
- The minor is not a ward of the court and is not in the care, custody and control of a state agency.
LawForKids.org and AZLawHelp.org provide information regarding emancipation, as does many of the local juvenile court websites. For assistance, call the Children's Law Center 602-258-3434 ext. 266.
For assistance with food stamps, short-term crisis services, temporary cash assistance (TANF), employment services, and community services for homelessness prevention, visit the Department of Economic Secutity's website and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's website.

This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love. Through Jean M. Auel's magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear.
A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blonde, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly — she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them.
Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza's way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.
First in the acclaimed Earth's Children® series
About the Author
Born in Chicago in 1936, Jean Marie Untinen married Ray Bernard Auel after high school, raised five children, and attended college at night while working for an electronics firm in Portland, Oregon. Shortly after earning her MBA in 1976, she was inspired by a story idea so powerful it effectively consumed her for the next few years. In a single creative burst, she conceived a sweeping epic set in prehistoric Europe and featuring a unique heroine: a young Cro-Magnon woman named Ayla, raised as a misfit in a society of inhospitable Neandertals. Auel quit her job, immersed herself in research, and began writing nearly nonstop.
At first, Auel imagined she had the makings of a single book. But when she completed her first draft (more than 450,000 words!), she realized that the story fell naturally into six parts, each one demanding a novel all its own. She worked feverishly on the first installment, revising parts of it as many as 20 and 30 times. Published in 1980, The Clan of the Cave Bear became an instant bestseller, marking the start of the thrilling, totally original Ice Age saga, Earth's Children.
The series owes much of its appeal to Auel's feminist protagonist Ayla, a preternaturally resourceful woman with all the skills and abilities of men but without their warlike qualities. She is the first to ride a horse, tame a wolf, and make fire from flint; she understands the healing power of herbs; and, as the novels progress, she develops mystical, even shamanic powers. Readers were understandably intrigued.
Although Auel writes speculative fiction, she receives high marks for historical accuracy. In the interest of creating an authentic Ice Age setting, her research has led her in interesting, unpredictable directions. She has read extensively, traveled to archeological sites around the world, and learned through various sources how to knapp flint, tan hides, construct snow caves, and prepare medicinal herbs. What emerges in her writing is a precise evocation of time and place that provides a realistic and enthralling backdrop to Ayla's adventures.

CNN this morning: dead pope on slab, feather-capped dandy with big hatchet, basketball scores
Terri Schiavo
Johnnie Cochran
17,316 Iraqi civilians
Jerry Falwell
Tom DeLay
Man, this Catholic stuff can really weird out a spinster aunt. On CNN they're hangin' in the Vatican, showing as much of the official dead-pope-apalooza as they can until one of their incoherent gasbags can't stand it another second and chokes out another string of maudlin platitudes.
Video of the palooza shows old white men in flowing robes kissing tables, waving incense, and holding thin wafers high in the air. They look like an antediluvian alien culture on Star Trek. Like when Kirk and Spock beam down to the planet and are amazed to discover a primitive society that exactly replicates Europe in the Dark Ages (except everybody speaks English).
Spock: Fascinating, Captain. This culture appears to worship a pharoah.
Kirk: Why is it all dudes? Bring on the belly dancers!
When CNN's cameras cut away from the old white men in flowing robes, they show weeping women pressing beads or other fetish objects into their faces. Men are definitely not shown weeping.
Ah, here's some fat white American male gasbag on Fox reminding everybody what a prince of a guy the dead pope was. "He forgave Galileo!†Well, halle-fuckin-lujah for that. The guy's only been dead 363 years.
It's great that the dead pope "apologized†for various atrocities and genocides that Catholics have delighted in perpetrating since the dawn of time. He apologized for the Inquisition, for the Crusades. All those murdered medieval Muslims can breathe a sigh of relief now; the dead pope's really sorry!
But wait! Looks like the dead pope plumb forgot to apologize to the victims of fucktarded Catholic assholery who are still alive, such as those hapless fellas who as children were buggered by priests, or the gajillion people who've contracted HIV because condoms are Satanic, or the umptillion people who have been marginalized because they're women or gay. Whups!

Tim Ireland of Bloggerheads (note: this link doesn't currently work, for reasons explained below) and Craig Murray (ditto*) have both have their blogs taken down by their internet service provider. Chicken Yoghurt has the full story, but it all boils down to a guy called Alisher Usmanov (a large shareholder in Arsenal) being upset about what they both wrote about this convicted criminal (subsequently pardoned). John Brissenden has reproduced Craig Murray's posting here.
The libel laws in England and Wales are such that an ISP can be sued (along with the original author) for any posting made on their server. So, to make it clear, even though they didn't author the content and, in all likelihood, haven't even seen it, they are liable in law for any statements or suchlike made. This is clearly a morally unsupportable position, both from a "fault/liability" standpoint (i.e. those who are at fault should be found liable) and from an economic standpoint (how can ISPs who host hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of sites be expected to vet every single thing written on them - this is what the law appears to be asking for at the moment). All the current law seems to do is have a chilling effect on free speech, especially if the person allegedly libeled has deep pockets and thin skin.
So, if you wish to show your support for Craig Murray, Tim Ireland and free speech, add one of these buttons to your site and let the world know what is happening.

Man arrested after neighbors see him wandering naked
Port Orange man faces drug charges

Police in Port Orange wanted a reasonable explanation for why a man was naked on the street early Tuesday, but they didn't get one.
A resident saw 45-year-old Carey Sterling naked near Guava and Swan Drive about 4:15 a.m., according to officers.
Sterling first told officers he had a fight with his girlfriend. He then said he was sleep walking.
Back at his house, police found marijuana, pot plants and equipment to grow the goods.
Sterling now faces drug charges and was booked into the Volusia County Jail.

Gobble Gobble – US Thanksgiving and Canadian team's playoff chances
Dean Belanger
November 26 2011 12:16PM
So the theory is that if you have a playoff spot near the end of November, you are likely going to hold onto that spot and be a playoff team. Obviously, nothing is written in stone but the percentages are very good and by we should be able to know the difference between a hot start and a talented team.
According to data from the Toronto Star in 2010: 77.5% of teams that held a playoff spot on Thanksgiving made the playoffs. 84% of teams with 17 or fewer points did not make the playoffs. 89% of teams with 28 or more points made the playoffs. With that in mind, let's look at the Canadian Team's chances.

This is Nostradamus. He would have been a Movember contender from cradle to grave. Lordy. Nos made all kinds of predictions, things like "tents will be pitched by (people) of foreign tongues" and "the lost thing is discovered, hidden for many centuries."
A cynic might suggest that these words are rather wide-ranging in scope and could fit any number of events without actually proving Nostradamus could predict morning. Wrong 'em boyo! Nos even predicted Ryan Nugent-Hopkins!

Ken Holland: "I always look at the standings on U.S. Thanksgiving, right at the end of November. From there, you move in a pack. You've sort of shown the winning percentage you're going to move at." Guess what? The Edmonton Oilers are running with the pack. It's been awhile.

November 24 2011 11:51PM
I can't recall the last time the Oilers played a weekday afternoon game, and for us sports junkies it is likely the 2nd best "afternoon delight" we can think of. Okay maybe there are numerous different types of the 1st "Afternoon delights," but you know what I mean.
Robin Brownlee
November 24 2011 11:08PM
Enough already. It's time to put a familiar and tired storyline out of its misery. Against the odds and common sense, I'm saying the Edmonton Oilers are going to do that against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center Friday and win a hockey game.

> M1 shooters...what to lube with?
August 18, 2007, 04:21 PM
I have a '43 Garand and would like to start shooting it some. Last time i fred it (about 10 yrs ago) I used TW-25B and it worked good. Is there something better or should I stick with that?

I've been using PlastiLube I bought from either Fulton or Scott Duff. One little jar has lasted about 10 years now.
I also have a free sample of Militech I use. It seems about the same as the Plastilube.
If you aren't seeing any problems using what you have, I'd keep using it until I ran out.
August 18, 2007, 05:16 PM
I use Breakfree CLP and Lubriplate Grease. Both are cheap and easy to find (get the Lubriplate in your local auto parts store).
August 18, 2007, 05:58 PM
I bouught a can of Lubriplate from Brownell's several years ago(much cheaper than buying it by the tube) and I use it both both my M1 and M1A and am very pleased with the relusts of this lubricant. Mater of fact I use it on all my semi auto pistols also.
August 18, 2007, 06:52 PM
If you want to get the facts on what the Military used, checkout the following site, and pull up the specifications I have listed. http://assist.daps.dla.mil/online/start/, go to Quick search If you read in the book M1 Garand to M14 Rifle, you will find that the military had a problem with the Garand seizing in wet weather. So the military purchased commercial greases, conducted a rain test on them, and found that Lubriplate 130 was the most acceptable commercial grease. I think animal fat was actually the best of them all! Then they wrote a performance specification around the material properties of Lubriplate 130. Anyone who could make a grease that passed the tests outlined in Mil-G-46003 was able to sell it as Rifle Grease to the Military.
What you find is that Military Rifle Grease is basically a NLGI 3 water resistant bearing grease. I do not see any reason why a good grade of Marine Wheel Bearing grease would not work equally as well.
Rifle grease is meant for a hot wet environment. And is not meant to be used in temperatures less than 32 F.
I really like LSA as an all weather overall lubricant. VV-L-800 also is a good lubricating oil for rifles if you read the specification.
As for commercial oils, I have used synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30 Motor oil for decades as a lubricant. Just rub it in on an oily patch. .
I think the easiest advice to follow, that I was given as a novice, for M1/M14s was to use LSA in the winter and rifle grease in the summer. But as long as you use an oil in the winter, and a grease in the summer, your Garand will not have any lubrication problems.
August 18, 2007, 06:57 PM
Well I just use CLP and I lube the barrel after cleaning it with tetra...as for the breach or the internal magazine its not necessary leave it dry.
Steve in PA
August 18, 2007, 07:35 PM
Lubriplate for the parts that recommend grease, CLP or RemOil for those that require a liquid.
M1 Shooter

Lubriplate, Plastilube, Tetra, Mil-Tec, and TW-25b will all work as will other greases. Currently I use Lubriplate. You should be able to find it at any good auto parts store like NAPA or Schuck's. That's where I got mine, they sell it in a 1 pound tub, and it lasts a long time. I've been using the same tub for the last 5 years and I've hardly made a dent. It might just be a lifetime supply of rifle grease. That's the best deal I know of.
August 18, 2007, 09:03 PM
How about RIG grease? I use that stuff and it seems to work pretty well.
August 19, 2007, 07:25 AM
High temp wheel bearing grease. Like M1 shooter, I bought a 1 lb tub and it seems like this could be a lifetime supply. I also use it on my mini & AK. Barrels get Hoppes elite gun oil. Nothing fancy, but I haven't had any problems.
August 19, 2007, 09:02 AM
I use Valvoline synthetic grease. It meets NLGI #2 GC-LB Lithium Complex Grease.
It is rated down to -40 F and up to 400 F.
A 1 lb tube cost around $10. I use it on all my semi's, it will probably last for years.
The great thing about grease is it stays put and does not run off.
The bad thing about grease is it stays put and can trap grit into working metal parts.
Double edged sword, eh?

CLP and Lubriplate for me.

CLP and molybdenum grease is what I use for my M1A (I know, a bit different, but should work great for a Garand too)
August 19, 2007, 12:50 PM
It's worked fine with just about any grease I've tried. I think replacing grease after you fire and not using too much is more important that what kind of grease you use.
Cycle the action a bunch of times, then wipe off most of the grease. Too much will collect grit.
August 19, 2007, 01:40 PM
I've been useing Mag1, Hi-Temp, Disc Brake-Wheel Bearing, lithium-based grease on all the parts designated to have grease on my M1 Garand. Seems to work pretty good and it's a pretty red color too! :p
From some older cast bullet articles, lithium grease is also supposed to be an excellent lube for cast rifle bullets, although a pain to handle.
August 19, 2007, 02:22 PM
I've been using XF-7 from MD Labs for about 2 years now. Slowly converting basically all of my guns to this for essentially all applications. Works great and doesnt cook off or freeze (despite our subzero PA mountaintop temps). A little goes a long way. Interestingly, I've found that cleanup has become easier and easier as well. Available from multiple web dealers and Brownells. Previously, I also used NLGI 2 or 3 greases with good results. The one that actually worked the best for me here was made by ARG and is a blue grease originally designed for oil drilling equipment in the woods; it similarly worked in both hot and butt cold temps. Previous to that I used original Lubriplate 130 and Plastilube. They also worked but IMHO the oil drilling and bearing greases actually do a better job for cheaper. XF7 spanks all of them but much more expensive so you'll have to choose you "poison". Good luck.
August 19, 2007, 02:40 PM
Lithium grease of unknown parentage that does the job adequately. I tend to lube spareingly as lube and grit seem attracted to each other:rolleyes:
August 19, 2007, 07:40 PM
i use cv joint grease for all of my greasing needs. think about it, how much wear do you think a cv joint takes? thats gotta be some good stuff, and it is! i also use clp.
August 19, 2007, 08:12 PM
I don't think it's going to hurt the rifle if you use any ole' grease as long as there is luberation there. I use Sil-Glyde. I got it at Napa and has a operating temp from -20 to +600 F. I have used Hi-temp wheel bearing grease and luberplate. The luberplate in the tube is not the same as what was used back in the day. I also don't change the grease everytime I shoot. I wait until looks like it needs to be changed which is about twice a year. For oil I use FP-10.
(I do clean the bore everytime I shoot though)

Comments Thread For: Team Fury: We're Ready For Chisora Rematch Right Now
Their rematch isn't until July 26, but Tyson Fury and his camp insist they are ready to beat Dereck Chisora again if their fight was today.
The in-country rivals are due to square off this summer at Phones 4U Arena in Manchester, England. The winner will become a mandatory challenger to one of the several belts held by current lineal champion Wladimir Klitschko, who first faces Alex Leapai later this month.
Fury is chomping at the bit to fast forward to fight night.
Im so impressed with the way Tyson is looking right now, Ive never seen him looking so dedicated, focused and determined for a fight," insists Peter Fury, uncle and head trainer to the hulking British heavyweight. "Hes in unbelievable shape, his mind is razor shape and hes ready to fight. Id certainly let Tyson in the ring with Chisora right now. It would be like putting a lion and a gazelle in a cage together; it would be a massacre. [Click Here To Read More]

I think Hayes has cracked Chisora's chin and it all depends on what type of Fury turns up! If he's out of sharp like his last fight, I could see Chisora giving him problems but think if hes's shape (IF) he will KO him this time round.
Lets not get carried away with Fury..... He is one punch away from getting KO like Khan and doing a stupid dance. With all the talk he does, you know fans will treat him like Broner after Maidana beat the shyt out of him with all them meme. Can't wait for it to happen.

These guys talk nonsense.Tyson himself comes out with complete garbage and is not nice to listen to , most of the time he seems bitter and confused . Entertaining to watch but like Khan likes to talk you through fights , some he's had many he hasn't , all pretty boring.
Why don't these guys get on with it and cut the crap, remember the 70's, these guys wouldn't have a clue!

It's make or break time for Tyson Fury. If he gets in shape, stays in shape, and sticks to the game plans his uncle Peter will come up with for each fight - starting with Chisora - he will make a lot of people eat their words in 2014.

South Carolina's busiest airport is going to get busier this summer.
Fare deal
To launch the new Charleston air service, JetBlue Airways will offer a special $44 fare for flights on Tuesday and Wednesday between Washington and Charleston from June 24 to July 30. The one-way tickets can be bought today (March 6) only.
JetBlue Airways is adding two daily flights from Charleston International to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., starting June 19, the airline announced Thursday.
"Just last week we celebrated our first year of serving the Charleston market, and it has been a terrific success for JetBlue," said Scott Laurence, the airline's vice president of network planning. "Thanks to the strong support of the local community, we're pleased to be growing in Charleston and look forward to bringing down fares to the nation's capital, just as we've done to other cities we serve from Charleston."
Charleston area officials hailed JetBlue's announcement as a huge boost to the tourism and business travel market.
"Those slots are like gold," said Gary Edwards, an aviation consultant for Charleston County Aviation Authority and the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. "For them to commit those seats to that market is a big load of confidence for what they feel the opportunity is for Charleston. It's a very good day for us."
The flight schedule is arranged where a business traveler can leave Charleston in the morning and be home for dinner, he said. The earliest flight leaves Charleston at 7:25 a.m. The latest flight from Washington arrives in Charleston shortly after 8 p.m.
JetBlue is picking up the Washington routes because of the merger of American Airlines and US Airways. The merger required what will become the new American Airlines, the world's largest air carrier, to give up 52 landing slots at Reagan National to offer more market competition. JetBlue gained 12 of those slots in January and plans to add a dozen round-trip flights from Washington to cities it currently does not serve or add more flights on existing routes.
In addition to Charleston, the airline said it will add Hartford, Conn., and Nassau, Bahamas, to the list of cities it will serve from Reagan National. It will also expand its existing service between Washington and Tampa, Fla. Other new routes from the nation's capital will be announced later this year.
US Airways now offers five flights from Charleston to Reagan National, commonly called Washington National. It's unknown yet if Charleston will lose any of those flights.
For now, it's adding flights with JetBlue's decision.
"The bottom line is we are picking up 200 seats a day times 365 days a year, and that's a big deal," Edwards said. "It gets JetBlue travelers to three of our top markets."
JetBlue started serving Charleston in February 2013 with two daily flights to JFK in New York and a third to Boston. It later added a second flight on Saturdays to Boston.
"The hospitality industry is delighted that JetBlue has added a third city with direct, nonstop flights to Charleston," said Frank Fredericks, chairman of the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Just as more people are discovering the charms of Charleston, JetBlue is helping make travel to our destination easier and more affordable than ever before.
"We are delighted to be in partnership with this progressive airline."
Starting Friday, the low-cost carrier will increase the size of its jets leaving Charleston for JFK from 100-seat Embraers to 150-seat Airbus models because of increased demand. The new flights to Washington will seat 100 each.
"I think it's really great for the passengers and people in this area to have additional seats," said Paul Campbell, director of airports for Charleston County Aviation Authority, which oversees the county's three airports.
"It's also a great opportunity for us to bring more visitors from that part of the world. JetBlue is providing great service to Charleston, and we look for them to expand service to other areas as options become available. The whole destination travel market here is going to continue to grow and continue to attract people."
Charleston's air travel continues to surge in part because of the spin-off from Boeing Co.'s growing airplane assembly operation at the airport and because of Charleston's national accolades in the tourism industry.
Nearly 2.9 million travelers passed through Charleston International in 2013, a record number that's expected to continue to grow. Airport officials project the number of passengers to climb to 3.5 million by 2022.
The extra seats being added could also affect fares positively.
Based on the latest available figures from the third quarter of 2013 from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the average airfare in Charleston was $398. That's $3 higher than in the second quarter, but 8.1 percent lower over the July-September period in 2012.
The national average for the third quarter of 2013 was $390, up 5.1 percent over the same period a year earlier. Charleston's rate ranks 50th highest among the nation's top 100 airports. For comparison, Charleston's airfares have dropped 34 percent since 2000, when the average rate was $602 for the third quarter.
Huntsville, Ala., reported the highest average fare of $559 for the third quarter while Atlantic City, N.J., posted the lowest average rate of $157.

Syracuse, NY -- The New York State Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration will meet with the public Wednesday to discuss plans to improve passenger rail service in the region.
The meetings are part of an environmental review for the High Speed Rail Empire Corridor Project. They are a way for the public to provide input to the project team.
The local meeting will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Empire Expo Center at the State Fairgrounds, 581 State Fair Blvd. It is one of six meetings being held in cities across the state in October and November.
The project is looking at how to introduce passenger train speeds of at least 110 miles per hour between Schenectady and Niagara Falls, and adding to areas between Schenectady and New York where trains can travel at least that fast.
The project also seeks to improve passenger rail service reliability, travel times and frequency.
The 463-mile Empire Corridor runs north from New York through Albany, and then turns west passing through Schenectady, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. It ends in Niagara Falls.
Most of the corridor is owned by CSX Transportation and is one of the busiest freight lines in the nation.

MIFFLINTOWN - Yogi Berra would have loved Friday's Tri-Valley League showdown between Juniata and East Juniata.
Why? Because this intracounty rivalry wasn't over 'til it was over.
And that wasn't until just 1:14 was showing on the brand new scoreboard at Dietrick Field.
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by BUFFIE?BOYER
Juniata's Chad Eberle, right, is brought down by East Juniata's Justin Murphy as Tyler Myers (25) watches Friday at Dietrick Field. See more photos online at cu.lewistownsentinel.com
Perhaps the teams just wanted to make sure it could show all the numbers - there were plenty in the game, which ended with a scant lead in Juniata's favor, 47-44.
Talk in the press box was that the combined 91 points is probably the most the two teams have ever scored in a game against one another.
And it just gets crazier - East Juniata, which had plenty of chances to win the game, was only four points behind at the half, and that was without a single offensive touchdown.
But the real story of this game is the same one that has defined the Tri-Valley League season: No one wants to play defense.
Juniata strolled down the field in the game's opening drive, setting the tone with the rushing tandem of Chad Eberle (155 yards) and Ty Treaster (138 yards) doing most of the work. Treaster got the call to cross the goal line first.
"The guys stepped up and did a good job," Juniata coach Gary Klingensmith said. "The passing was a little bit off tonight but I thought we could beat them on the ground."
The Tigers' first possession was one play - a turnover, after each team got its first penalty of the game. For East Juniata, it was just the start as far as giving the ball away. The Tigers fumbled three times, losing two of them, and tossed a pair of interceptions.
"We shot ourselves in the foot - we definitely gave this game away," East Juniata coach Simon Cameron said.
The one the Tigers held on to was an oddity. East Juniata took over on downs at its own 7-yard line, and was facing third-and-6 when Josh Zimmerman connected with David Brantley for a 52-yard gain, then hit Kevin Allen and Matt Aurand on consecutive passes on the way to the end zone - where Aurand dropped the ball.
Teammate Andrew Karchner jumped on it, tying the game.
The second quarter? Josh Newcamp put Juniata ahead on a one-yard dash. Dalton Rowe kept East Juniata in the game with a 14-yard field goal. Eberle went 14 to extend the lead.
But no one could have foreseen the final 40 seconds of the half. Eberle intercepted a pass. Had a 19-yard scamper and then another, the second coming back on a penalty. With just a few ticks left before the marching band, the Indians would have been wise to sit on the ball.
Wisdom that, apparently, wasn't in Juniata's playbook.
Tyler Clark put the ball in the air, and East Juniata's Kevin Allen found it. After snatching the ball, he sprung up to avoid touching his knees to the ground and went the distance.
The Tigers turned that opportunity into a lead when the teams came back to the field. Taking the ball first, they moved 68 yards in just four plays - Brantley again the key, with a 24-yard jaunt to make it 27-21.
"They came to play," Klingensmith said. "Brantley's pretty darned dangerous with that kind of speed."
That was the first time the same team scored consecutively in the game. Juniata got the next three.
The kickoff after Brantley's touchdown would have been an equalizer if not for Rowe, the kicker, who stopped Patrick O'Donnell on the return. But Treaster and Eberle did their thing again, and Josh Parson carried the ball in to give Juniata a lead that, while challenged, was not relinquished the rest of the game.
Cameron looked back to defense - the inability to stop the run - as a problem that plagued his team.
"Part of that was intensity. We did have some injuries on defense, moved people around," he said. "We had some decent flow, we just didn't have the wrapups. To Juniata's credit ... their kids ran hard."
Not that Klingensmith felt much better about his team's defense, which allowed 205 passing yards from four different East Juniata arms.
"Defense has been our Achilles' heel," he admitted. "We've got a lot of young kids playing there - they're not experienced; they make mistakes. Give them two more years."
Eberle returned a punt for a touchdown; Clark and Treaster each ran one, sandwiched around a hookup between Aurand and Brantley, throwing a halfback option, as the game went into the final stanza. Juniata's biggest lead came after Clark's score at 17 points; the margin was 16 after Treaster's run.
But the Tigers weren't done, and Cameron wasn't afraid to dig into the trick bag - the option pass seemed almost normal compared to the swinging-gate lineups, fakes and a reverse that East Juniata tried.
"My guys aren't going to be bigger than the other guys. We've got to take it to them," Cameron said. "We can be competitive, but we're still not to the point we can overpower teams. We've got to play smarter. We've got to play aggressive. And we've got to have a lot of tricks."
An 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown - Brantley; big surprise - and a Reed Bruner toss to Colton Snook made what would stand as the final score, only because the Indians were able to field the expected onside kick with that 1:14 left to play.
"I told the boys, 'just win by one. Score more points than they do,'" Klingensmith said. "Every game now, five games, has been within a touchdown."

Random Fact
The United States poverty rate in 2013 was 14.5%. In 2012 it was 15%. It was 12.5% in 2007 (pre-recession). In 1959, it was 22.4% (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/about/overview/index.html).
|Section 1: Explicit Costs and Implicit Costs
|Microeconomics - Unit 5
The Difference Between Explicit and Implicit Costs
What are the Explicit Costs and Implicit Costs of Attending College?
In addition, you estimate that your annual implicit costs are $30,000 because this is the money you could have earned had you not attended college. Your total annual cost of attending college is now $55,000 ($25,000 plus $30,000). Thus, your total cost of attending four years of college equals 4 times $55,000, or $220,000.
What are the Explicit and Implicit Costs of Operating a Business?
Problem: Let's say that you are running a business and incur the following monthly expenses: labor costs are $80,000; raw materials and business supplies are 30,000; equipment leasing expenses are $7,000; finance charges on loans are $3,000. You are not paying rent, because you own the building in which you operate the business. If you had rented it out, however, you would have received $12,000 in rent income. You also estimate the value of your own time to equal $40,000. What are your implicit, explicit, and economic costs?
Solution: Explicit costs are $80,000 + $30,000 + $3,000 +$7,000 = $120,000.

Reducing Poverty Through Climate Action
A Strategy for Global Development Leaders

"Climate change could reverse hard-won development gains and could stop our end poverty efforts completely. We can't end poverty unless we take serious
steps to protect our planet."
— World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, opening statement at the International Monetary Fund-World Bank 2014 Spring Meetings, April 10, 2014
Climate change is already affecting every continent across the globe, and people living in developing countries will fare far worse than most in a warmer world, warns a March report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The report—"Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability," authored by leading scientists from around the world—makes clear that there are many actions that local and national decision makers and the international community can take now to strengthen community resilience and reduce climate change risks and costs. The report also reveals that many actions to fight climate change and prepare for its unavoidable impacts will improve public health, safety, and livelihoods. An April IPCC report presents a host of sobering evidence revealing that if countries do not take immediate and ambitious steps to rein in global carbon pollution today, they will face crippling costs to do so in the future. The report identifies many different options that countries can pursue now to reduce emissions from energy production and use, transportation, and land use, among others; these options also provide energy access, reduce local air pollution, and support sustainable development.
Fortunately, countries around the world have a tremendous opportunity to design a new global development agenda that can rapidly accelerate progress toward tackling two of the world's most pressing challenges—ending poverty and preventing catastrophic climate change. This new development agenda will kick into gear when the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs—eight voluntary goals agreed to in 2000 by leaders from 191 countries—expire in 2015. Once agreed upon, the post-2015 goals will serve as a road map through 2030 for countries, local governments, development institutions, and the private sector to stamp out poverty and support sustainable development. Where countries previously stopped short of fully integrating environmental concerns into the MDGs, they now have the chance to craft new voluntary development goals that do just that. As the new IPCC analyses expose, letting this opportunity pass by risks unraveling decades of progress against poverty, hunger, and economic insecurity. It will also leave future generations more vulnerable to extreme weather events that flatten communities and critical infrastructure, cause food insecurity, give rise to pollution-related illnesses, and disrupt livelihoods.
In this report, we assess poverty and climate change and identify opportunities to jointly tackle these challenges. To end poverty in ways that support low-carbon, resilient, and sustainable economic growth, we recommend that countries adopt the following ambitious yet achievable targets to measure progress against the new global development goals once they are enacted in 2016, through their expected expiration date in 2030.
Potential goal: Ensure sustainable agriculture, food security, and good nutrition
Recommended targets:
- Reduce global postharvest and supply-chain food loss and waste, including bycatch in commercial fisheries, by 50 percent.
- Eliminate the practice of overfishing in ocean and freshwater fisheries, rebuild overfished populations to sustainable levels, and end all illegal and unreported fishing.
- Increase water efficiency in agriculture by 25 percent.
Potential goal: Support sustainable and resilient economic growth, employment, and infrastructure
Recommended target:
- Build community resilience and reduce deaths and economic losses from natural hazards by 50 percent, while improving the accuracy and lead times of forecasts and warnings by 50 percent.
Potential goal: Secure sustainable energy
Recommended targets:
- Ensure universal access to modern energy services.
- Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
- Double the share of renewable energy in the global mix.
- Phase out inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption and production.
Potential goal: Ensure healthy ecosystems and biodiversity
Recommended targets:
- Ensure that no natural forest is lost.
- Guarantee secure tenure and rights, including customary rights, to land and other assets for men and women.
- Reduce loss of coastal wetlands by 50 percent, set aside 15 percent of the world's oceans as marine-protected areas, and eliminate fisheries subsidies that contribute to overfishing and overcapacity.
- Ensure that at least 20 percent of the world's terrestrial lands and inland waters are equitably managed and conserved.
Potential goal: Ensure healthy lives
Recommended target:
- Reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from indoor and outdoor air pollution by 50 percent.
We urge countries to include these targets in the new global development agenda to drive actions to fight poverty, reduce climate change risks, and ensure sustainable development.

Letter carriers across Upstate New York will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable foods Saturday for distribution in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy, the U.S. Postal Service announced today.
Postal customers are asked to leave non-perishable food items in their mailboxes Saturday for pickup by their letter carrier. Glass items will not be accepted.
Collections will be taken in ZIP codes that begin with the numbers 120 to 123, 128 to 129 and 130 to 139, the Postal Service said. This is an area that covers 3.5 million postal carriers and stretches from the Massachusetts border west to Waterloo and the Canadian border south to Binghamton, postal officials said.
Saturday's donations will be trucked to the Food Bank of New York, which serves more than 400 pantries and kitchens in the five boroughs of New York City, postal officials said.
"This was not on our regular schedule but neither was Hurricane Sandy," Edward F. Phelan Jr., manager of the Postal Services Albany District, said in a prepared release.
"Our employees have been seeking a way to help and this is one activity we can do, together, that will have an immediate impact where the need is so great," Phelan said.

SALT LAKE CITY -- After signing an agreement with the United Farm Workers, American Stores Co. here has become one of the largest supermarket operators to declare support for the right of strawberry workers to determine for themselves whether or not they want to unionize. At press conferences May 30 in several stores in various parts of the country, the chain announced its support of the "basic rights" guaranteed California strawberry workers under state laws, by requiring its growers to ...

Halo 4
Is there anyone that actually played Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer heavily...
Only the maps were better in 3. Ranking system is meh because IIRC there's a TrueSkill system in Halo 4, Halo 3 only had it visible.

I played tons of Halo 2 and Halo 3, but I still think Halo 4 is a good game. I wouldn't go as far to say it's better then the other two.......yet. I'm willing to give 343 some time to fix a lot of the issues the game has, and then we'll see. I think it has the potential to be better, but 343 has to actually listen and start making some changes now before it's to late.

I played several hundred hours of Halo 2 multliplayer and really enjoy Halo 4. Halo 2 had some nasty glitches and issues, just like Halo 4 does.
Halo 2 multiplayer was when I was in my college prime. I was able to stay up late and play.

I didn't play enough Halo 2 to really judge it fairly. Halo 4's netcode is much better than Halo 3's, same with the gun mechanics. Hitscan in Halo is a must, and not having it in Halo 3 really hurt. I also think there is more of a variety of weapons in Halo 4. Halo 3, however, had much better maps than Halo 4, and the ranking system in Halo 3 was far superior.

What do you want to play?
I don't care, I don't even want to be playing Halo 4.
I feel the same way, though.

no way. hitscan on halo is the downfall of it. The only thing that needs hitscan is the sniper.
hitscan on the dmr is whats ruined halo 4 and made every other gun inferior. Its what took the niche away from the other rifles.
It's what has made the DMR so easy to use. Remember leading your shots? yeah, no need for that now with laser accurate hitscan. Another huge and skillful element of halo gone.
Remember when using a weapon you spawned with to kill people from one side of Valhalla to the other in 5 shots without missing was considered OP and impossible? That is the standard of halo 4.
just playing Halo 3 on Valhalla vs halo 4 you can see how massively imbalanced Halo 4 is.

All the precision rifles should be hitscan of course. Hitscan > projectile unless it's specifically designed around bullet drop

but the competition level is determined by you
No, it's not. If I get consistently matched with players worse than I am, like has happened since Reach, the match is not competitive.
what was the point of that burger king video? You didnt need video proof to show that you are lonely, I would have taken your word on it. - brady
almightyminiman 4 years ago#39
I played Halo 2 all the way till its death. Probably put several thousand hours into it... Maybe just a thousand. But i love halo 4. I don't consider it the godly video game that everyone expected it to be. I just consider it another halo game. And it's a vast improvement over Reach. I have few complaints. Mainly framerate issues, and lack of small maps. But i know they'll come out with maps and hopefully some fixes on the TU. But i do love Halo 4. Been playing it a ton since it came out. Still playing. and still loving it.
What can you do, when you live in a shoe, and you aint got no soul.
SunDevil77 4 years ago#40
Played Halo 1 multi quite a bit, Halo 2 for endless hours, and Halo 3 a ton, and I think Halo 4 provides the most fun experience tied with Halo 2.
Bro, when you tack on mass, you sacrifice flexibility. That's just a straight up fact

I think the Canadiens offered him a great deal.
Got a link to the offer?
So Subban 'may' be something special?
Perhaps we don't a like minded idea of what 'special' is. He's already won a Norris trophy. I think he's already pretty special.

THANK YOU SUKI FOR VOTE 500! THANK YOU ... FOR VOTE 550! THANK YOU CESSNA AND CHANCE FOR VOTE 600!
We actually wore out Mom and Dad! They both had to take little naps in the Living Room this afternoon. Daddy planted some stuff in the garden and ran over to check out a yard sale close by this morning.I sure don't understand why ANYBODYwould want to sell their yard.I guess they just sell little pieces of it with all the people that go to those things, which raises and even more perplexing question....why would anybody want to BUY a little piece of somebody elses yard? Yesterday I heard Mommy say they went to some yard sales and GARAGE sales...now how do you sell all those people your garage? Tomorrow morning they are going to a Rummage Sale. What the heck is a RUMMAGE?
If anybody knows what it is please let me know. I sure hope you don't have to feed it and if you do that it doesn't eat a lot! What is really strange about these things is, yesterday, Mommy and Daddy went to Garage and Yard Sales, and to a re-sale shop. They came home with a few things for the house and a game for the youngest niece and her half brother. How did they get those things instead of yards, garages and re-sales? If you go to a gift shop, you buy gifts, a flower shop you buy flowers, at a grocery store, you buy groceries.....I am soooo confused! Maya is sooooooo confused. Even our cousin Dexter who is MUCH older than us can't explain it. I think yard and garage sales and re-sale shops aren't the only places they went, myself. Maya and I are BOTH a little suspicious!
It's another hot day here! That's why Daddy quit working outside at lunchtime.He said it is a scorcher out there! No wonder that little bluebird is STILL trying to come in the house. It looks like he might be a little sunburned cause his front is a little bit red! I better go check on Daddy cause he hasn't moved on the couch for a while. I'm gonna borrow Mommy's hand mirror and go hold it under his nose and see if he steams it up. Cross your paws he does! Bark at ya later!

Leaving you a vote, and have a lovely weekend.
Greetings From the 3-Ring Circus!!
My home is officially a 3-ring circus....I have never been to one but one of the times when Mommy was "other- wise occupied" (I'll explain THAT PHRASE later) I googled it on the computer, and with the size of my paws, that ain't easy!! Anyway I saw what came up on google and I swear it could have been my house!Mommy is better now that the AC is on, My eyes are good and now we are performing in a circus. We have my Lab cousin Dexter here for the weekend.
Mommy & Daddy picked him up after they saw The Avengers at the show. Dexter is old and he has always been the best behaved dog they ever saw. So what happens, Dex looks at Mom in the bedroom, hikes his leg and pees on the carpet(not good)Dad takes him out, Mom cleans the carpet! I am INNOCENT! Yay! Dexter wants my bed, Little Girl Cat wants Dex's bed Maya is on Mommy's lap. Dad goes downstairs to watch the ballgame, I go too, Dex is too arthritic but is gonna follow so Dad tells Mom, call Dexter & keep him up there. Mom calls Dex, he comes over to her, Maya has a fit, Dexter goes back to the steps, I come up the steps, Mommy says "lay down" the Cocatoo starts screaming! We lay down, I get up to go downstairs, Dex gets up, Mom says Dex come here and lay down, Dex comes, Maya growls, I come back upstairs. Mommy can't go potty cause we all get up & follow everytime either one leaves the room!This will be Mommy's life until late Sunday night or Mon. morning. BOL! You can see where there could have been an opening in all the up, down, growl, follow stuff for me to google. hehehe Mommy told the trainer we wouldn't be there for Tricks class or Puppy Playtime this Sunday because there was no way she could handle that! She said we would let her know about Mother's Day! I think it is so cool that I am not the one that gets their name said the most with the "lay downs" "come heres" My name gets said SECOND most and Maya's the least, naturally! But one good thing about a 3rd dog is you don't have to get in trouble the most anymore! Daddy said 3 dogs is 1 too many, he's glad it's a favor and not permanent! BOL!
Well gotta go, the ringmaster is calling and I think I don't want to be late!
PuppyDog Kisses and Tail Wags,
Cairn Cuddles,
Our cousin Dexter says Hi and he's havin' a ball!
Moma had quite a day yesterday. First her usual housework, then a load of laundry, then planted stuff in the planters that flank each side of the front door, then she laid mulch around the shrubs. Now her intention was then to just clean out her car but Daddy wanted also to wash & wax it. Ok she said....her back killing her. Now it gets good....she has black carpet mats & a white dog. The mats were covered with my gorgeous blonde fur. First she shop vac'd it, then she used a sticky roller & finally had to pick by hand the ones that wouldn't come off. Ok, done, she puts them on the front porch & turns to vac out the car. When she was finished she turns around to turn off the shop vac & there I was on the front porch laying on one of the black mats. God help me she mentally screamed....Daddy rolls his eyes. Moma shooed me off & took another 20 mins to clean the one mat......oopsy!!!hahahahaha hugs LilyPup
Feliz Quatro de Mayo!!

We didn't have a chance with Brandi. She started coughing one day from what we thought was grabbing chicken bones out of the garbage so Mom took her in. Her lungs were pretty full of cancer already, No signs. They also tested her for Blasto as she was a hunting dog & thought it could be that. The proceder they did on her did not indicate cancer. Two weeks later when the blasto test came back there was no hope of helping her it grew so fast. So for the second time in 3 months Mom had to made a discission she never wanted to make to put down her best friend. She has not recovered from it yet. And just today we get news that our skin brother had to send his boy to the Bridge too.
Mom had a very strong bond with me & Brandi. So much with Brandi that the vet even remarked about the trust you could see in her eyes. Mom saw it to & it made it even harder but Brandi didn't really understand the pain she would go through to live 2 months,
Come visit me, Brandi -, Dani, Rusty & Ruger, Sammy-
My eyes are getting better and Mommy thinks thats why I am starting to give her a little attitude when she puts the drops in my eyes. What can I say, if I was TOO GOOD she would think I am REALLY SICK! hehehe
We were supposed to be having rain and storms every day this week. We had thunderstorms in the wee hours of the morning and then it was just kinda hot and humid. Now they say no rain until the end of the week.
Like daddy said, "they don't know"...Mommy says "the more fancy equipment they get, the worse their forecasts are." Sometimes they should look out the window and see the rain or snow coming down instead of saying a 40% chance of snow/rain.....40%? Really? Looks like 100% to me bud look out your window at the 6" of white stuff on the ground! Sheesh! That's why they get paid the Big BUcks!....BOL!!
Well we gotta get going since our secretary/personal assistant came to work late again! Something about fixing dinner, dusting, sweeping, cleaning cat boxes,baking a cake,...I mean really we need to set down and get our priorities straight around here. The Chewmeister and Maya Papaya are gonna have to put their foot down here (and we each one have 4 to choose from)If she doesn't get her act together we may have to draft Daddy to take her Place and .....okay forget that idea.We don't want the blogging to go from inept to non-existant. I guess we will just have to sit her down and work out a schedule and maybe, and this is only a last resort, believe me,MAYBE we will have to help out a little and do something besides eat, play pee and poop! (Chewie and Maya BOTH shudder at the thought!)We may just have to sleep on this problem and see what we come up with in the morning after we have slept, peed, pooped and ate! hehehe!
PuppyDog Kisses and Tail Wags,
Cairn Cuddles,
Send mom your secret please .Sammy was 11 1/2 & Brandi was 6 1/2. Brandi was out of some of the best hybrid.g kennels. Mom didn't give them all the shots they say they need Our vet agreed with her. Plus mom kept her in top shape and cooked a lot of thiers food. Most of it organic and she still died young.
I have had dogs most of my life too but my goldens were by far my favorite. Everyone has one special dog in their life and Brandi was mine. I lost her exactlly 3 months to the day after Sammy died. Kind of a duble hit for me. Didn't expect that from her as she had champion blood lines in her. She had lung cancer

SEBRING - Sebring Antiques & Vintage Jewelry will be holding an open house Nov. 10-11 with door prizes and 20 percent off jewelry and antiques.
Customers can also register for door prizes to be given away over the weekend.
The family-run store opened on Oct. 5 and is located at 236 N. 15th St. in Sebring.
Marisa and Roy Fink operate the business and it is loaded with thousands of pieces of antique costume jewelry, Fenton glass pieces, sterling silver items, vintage signs and "a lot of collectibles, advertising and lighting," Roy Fink said, adding there are also Civil War-era items.
Marisa said, "We probably have the largest selection of anyone in the area. I can assure you, no one has as much jewelry."
She is talking about the Youngstown-Warren and Akron Canton areas.
"We know, because we've checked them out," she said.
Roy, who was born in Salem, said they've only been open a month but have already switched it around many times. This is his first antique store since he lived in Georgia 20 years ago.
"I guess I wanted a place where we could have unique stuff and I bring new stuff in here every day," he said, explaining that he's been a "picker" since he was five-years-old and his father would take him to houses under FHA contract that were vacated.
"I would go with him on cleanups and go inside in the attics and that's when I started picking ... when I was five ... I wouldn't go to school, I would go with dad, that's where I got my 'sick' obsession with junk," he said.
He explained that he will pick for people.
"People come in and ask," he said recalling several customers who mentioned that they liked elephants.
"I bought a complete collection out," he said, adding there was another man who liked pocket watches.
"We have stuff from the 1700s," Marisa said pointing to a very rare Delf jar.
Roy said he also seeks out estate sales and private collections for vintage items and older pieces. There is a large Ballentine Ale and Beer sign (purity, body, flavor inside three rings) high up on the back wall and an elk foot lamp for someone looking for different approach to lighting.
Sebring Antiques & Vintage Jewelry also caters to the local collectible crowd looking for postcards and other items from this area.
For example, there are two light brown coffee cups with the Quaker Coffee Shop label on them that were made in East Liverpool.
"I really look for local stuff," Roy said, "I always pick it up because I know there's a good market around for this stuff."
Marisa, who is a Huntsville, Ala., native, said, "We get stuff from all over the area."
The Finks work with their 12-year-old home-schooled son, Fink, who has the caught the picking fever.
"It's in his blood," his father said, "when I bring boxes home he's the first one in them."
The store is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; from 1 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday; and holiday hours will be extended.
For more information visit Sebring Antiques on Facebook, or call 330-938-6700.

The N-Effect: More Competitors, Less Competition
Stephen M. Garcia
University of Michigan
Avishalom Tor
Notre Dame Law School; University of Haifa - Faculty of Law
January 6, 2009
Psychological Science, Forthcoming
The present analysis introduces the N-Effect - the discovery that increasing the number of competitors (N) can decrease competitive motivation. Studies 1a-b found evidence that average test scores (e.g., SAT scores) fall as the average number of test-takers at test-taking venues increases. Study 2 found that individuals trying to finish an easy quiz among the top 20 percent in terms of speed finished significantly faster if they believed they were competing in a pool of 10 versus 100 other people. Using a social comparison orientation (SCO) scale, Study 3 showed the N-Effect occurs strongly among those high in SCO and weakly among those low in SCO. Study 4 directly linked the N-Effect to social comparison, ruling out the "ratio-bias" and finding that social comparison becomes less important as N increases. Finally, Study 5 found the N-Effect is mediated by social comparison. Limitations, future directions, and implications are discussed.

On so vast a subject as nutrition it takes a great man to write a small book. Most of the controversial questions in nutrition are touched on in this little book of 51 pages, yet without bewildering the general reader with too much

Also there is no quarreling. If two persons do not like each other, they simply move away from one another, but a blow is never struck." This point is made, no doubt, in answer to the claim so often made by vegetarians that meat stimulates the more quarrelsome side of our natures. Though aware
