Great work on the Week 1 test Dickson! With those short term goals the 3 sandbag training programs will stand you in good stead, although you may need to add some additional swimming and occasional barbell work. I wouldn't worry about that during the Beginner program though, just focus on some high quality work and plenty of regular movement.
Also, consider spreading out the sessions if you need to. They are listed as 2 strength and 2 conditioning per week but that is just a guideline. If you are short on time or you feel like you haven't recovered enough since the last session then just let them run over.

In making the decision to come to Berry College, I had the same experience that many incoming students describe – I fell in love with one of the most distinctive colleges in the country.
As the proud alumnus of a private liberal arts college, I have a strong appreciation for the small classes and well-rounded educational opportunities that are inherent in such an environment. As someone who has spent my career working for both larger public universities and private liberal arts colleges, I deliberately made the decision to work in those smaller, academically competitive private liberal arts colleges. I found that kind of environment transformative in my own college experience and wanted to work with students interested in that same kind of educational experience.
In a crowded marketplace, Berry College stands out as a nationally regarded liberal arts college that offers substantive and meaningful work experience to all of our students. As America's premier work experience college, Berry believes strongly that education is enhanced by the opportunity for work.

J. K. Carriere Anderson Family Pinot noir 2012
$64.95 Regular
Wine Advocate 90 Points: From 20 year old vines of Dijon Clone 115 on a basaltic stone slide at the northeastern edge of the Dundee Hills, the mere 72 cases of J. K. Carriere 2010 Pinot Noir Anderson Family smells alluringly of dark cherry and blood orange and intriguingly of animal blood and game, almost like equal parts Cote d-Or and Cornas. This is texturally firm though fine-grained and buoyant. An impressive if slightly austere mingling of iodine and undertone of crushed stone add interest to a finish both gripping and vibrant, while salinity serves for saliva-inducement. I expect this will be worth following for the better part of a decade during which it will have even more interesting as well as seductive days.- Wine Advocate
The raspberry color opens to cinnamon spice, shaved oak and tangy cherry. Mineral and savory with a tart cherry core, the wine races through vanilla, oak, and meat before tailing out on white pepper. Very young, this wine demands age, for which its racy delicacy will reward; or food pairing, if the bottle must be opened. - the winery
Previous Vintage Tasting Notes
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
J.K. Carriere Anderson Family Pinot noir is a CELLAR SELECTION- this Pinot noir is built to age, from an almost perfect vintage. Not to be missed by those wine collectors serious about aging Pinots.
Dark cherry ester and smoke first deliver full throttle game and earth to your nose before exploding your palate in a highly structural torrent of red fruit, spice, and caramel.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama – A new way to quantify the nation's high school drop out rate has many state and school officials debating its accuracy. The new law will soon change the way states collect drop out rate statistics.
The drop out rate was the center of discussion Wednesday in Montgomery at a community roundtable event at Bellengrath Middle School. The discussion, sponsored by local radio station WVAS-FM, brought 14 school officials and local authorities together with parents to talk about how the state's 87 percent graduation rate can be improved.
According to the Montgomery Advertiser, deputy state superintendent for the Alabama Department of Education Tommy Bice explained at the forum that as of next year, any student who does not finish high school within four years will be considered a drop out.
"Percentages have a place, but more important are the names," Bice said. "If we had 25 dropouts, we need to figure out who they were and what we could have done to prevent it."
The new way to gauge drop out rates will be enforced nationwide starting in August as an effort to bring awareness to the often undercounted number of students who drop out each year. According to the Huffington Post, the reevaluated system could mean a 20 percent drop in state graduation rates.
According to NPR, there are 40 million people nationwide over the age of 18 without a high school diploma. NPR released an article today as part of a five-part series about middle-aged high school drop outs and the struggles they face going through life without a diploma. [Read 'A High School Drop Out's Midlife Hardship' here.]
NPR also discusses why dropout rates can be so unreliable here.

Pivot when throwing the jab?
I have been taught to pivot when throwing the jab. Same movement as a left hook just not as far around. Because it gets you more power and your body is already moving so it can go into a hook straight after or transfer the weight back to your right hand.
But, we had this new coach at the gym and he said you should be leaning back flicking your jab without pivoting your lead foot. So you can fall in more with your right hand to get more power.
Is he wrong? Is it best to stick to pivoting from the jab or does nobody else do it?

If you just want to be an amateur "points" boxer, where you just flick your jab out and hit your opponent to score points, then sure just use your arm.
But as for what this guy said, thats one way to do it....
However Jack Dempsey, who was a hell of a puncher, believed in something called a falling step, you dont push off your back foot as it means shifting your weight to your back foot before pushing off in a forward direction.
And as we all know this is bad in boxing as ever millisecond counts and this could become a "tell" for your opponent who then may be able to see every time your going to throw a jab.
Your best off looking at Jack Dempseys book - Championship Fighting, there are ebooks online.

I did it by accident once and got caught by a nasty left hook and a right uppercut, I didn't go down but if the round was about a minute longer I would have, I was buzzed for like 30 seconds. Not a good idea to pivot while jabbing.

No dont pivot, you get power in a jab by twisting your wrist just as it stretches out. By pivoting you limit your movement since you cant instantly move.
Dont care what anyone says, pivoting is wrong. Any real coach knows that.

2 wrong things in your post, IMO.
1- don't pivot, the last poster said why, and your balance is bad, especially if your opponent is trying to come over it or counter.
2- do not lean back when you jab. It may not be a power punch, but it is very effective if you have a hard jab. It can win you fights when your opponent respects it. I love to fight weak jabbers cuz u can run rght through it.
You actually want to take a small step when you jab, or at least a stepping motion. Your lead foot goes straight out, not to the side, and doesn't mess up your blade(stance). If you step outward you square up.

So much bull**** in this thread. People have no idea what the **** they are talking about.
Yes. Pivoting on your jab as you are talking about is fine.
There is not much difference in motion between a short left hook inside a right hand, and a good stiff jab.
Ive never bought into the step with your jab crap. Stepping with your jab is good for closing distance, but if you only know how to throw a powerful jab while stepping, you will be completely unable to fight while going backwards.
It really is important to be able to jab with your feet planted, and thats what pivoting on the jab is good for.

You shouldn't have. No, you really shouldn't have
There is a lot to be said for a festive pair of socks. They're warm, they're practical and with any luck, they'll have a cheery snowflake pattern – to remind you of what snow used to look like when it was all nice and white and theoretical and Bing Crosby-like. Christmas socks, like a good reindeer jumper, are in fact really excellent gifts masquerading as cliches. That's not something that can be said for this lot, my personal list of items that I wouldn't even bother faking gratitude for:
1. Straight Up: My Autobiography by Danny Dyer. Who? Why? How? Danny Dyer is the British actor who earlier this year, in his guise as an agony uncle for lad's mag Zoo, suggested that a heartbroken reader "cut his ex's face, and then no one will want her". That's not really what I call the spirit of Christmas. Now Dyer, who claims he was misquoted, was rather good in Andrea Arnold's short film Wasp. But that's no reason to encourage his literary career by purchasing a memoir that "tears it up proper", apparently. In general, it's best to leave the domestic violence to EastEnders.
2. Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin. Read by the author. Oh no, NOT THE AUDIO VERSION. Listening to Palin, the inexplicably popular Tea Party lady, one feels new sympathy for Margaret Thatcher, who underwent vocal training to lower her voice by several semi-tones after advisers suggested she was too shrill. Palin's dogs-only range proves Thatcher needn't have bothered. While I'd usually object to the notion of a deeper voice = more gravitas on the grounds that it reaffirms the "naturalness" of male authority, in Palin's case I'd make an exception.
3. The "Snuggie" from JML. JML is the ubiquitous direct sales firm with the kind of over-excitable pitches that encourage crawling back under the duvet forever. If you want to "use your laptop without being cold", stick on a cardigan: do not be tempted by the sleeved "Snuggie" blanket, which looks like the kind of thing Brian Blessed would wear on stage. In the Snuggie's festive TV ad, a family of four sit wearing their matching cult-like druid's cloaks and paper hats, looking like they're taking part in a cut-price and slightly sinister re-enactment of the Nativity. A good rule of thumb: if an ad has its own YouTube parodies, don't buy what it's selling.
4. Cath Kidston business card holder. I'll admit this is the kind of kitsch paraphernalia that I'm vulnerable to. But it's all wrong. Firstly, no one wants to be reminded of work on Christmas Day. Secondly, a floral-patterned business card holder? Really? If you do have the kind of job that requires the cheesy exchange of business cards at the end of the meeting, you're probably working in a profession that requires the maintenance of a degree of drab seriousness. In other words, it's not the ideal opportunity for showcasing one's affection for the retro, cutesy, reclaimed housewife-chic Cath Kidston aesthetic. That's for cupcakes.
5. Working the Red Carpet by Lorraine Keane. There is a bit of a book theme emerging here, which possibly reflects the old NME assertion that even crap CDs can make excellent ashtrays. I've nothing against the ex-TV3 stalwart Lorraine Keane, who seems like a nice person. If you want a coffee table book showcasing pictures of her with fellow broadcasters Gaybo and so on, then this is the stocking filler for you. But let's not pretend there is such a thing as a Hollywood-lite red carpet glamourfest in Ireland: anyone who happens to be passing Dublin's Savoy Cinema while they're having a premiere knows the truth.

Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher): Questions about behavior and species they can be kept together with
Can you put Kribensis into a densely planted tank without being afraid that they dig the plants out after a short while, as many other cichlids do?
yes, this is possible. Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) hardly ever dig, if at all.
And can Kribensis be kept together with small toothcarps (Guppies or Mollies)?
Mollies and also Platies are generally possible. However, Mollies often require/prefer a salt addition and therefore are only suitable to a certain extent. I do not recommend Guppies as they are considerably smaller, and especially in case of long-finned variants, also slower.
How large must a tank for a pair of Kribensis at least be?
The tank should be at least 80 cm long, but a 1 meter tank is considerably better suited. The Pelvicachromis become very territorial especially when guarding fry (and that is only a question of time with this very productive species) and may easily require an entire 80 cm tank for themselves (and they are able to enforce these requirements!).
Best regards

FLINT, MI -- Flint Mayor Dayne Walling said Flint residents should cooperate with authorities to stop widespread arson, despite may readers seemingly voicing support for the fires.
An analysis by MLive-Flint Journal revealed that there were 1,631 fires reported in vacant Flint buildings from 2008-2012.
Some readers, including artznow, said they believe residents are starting the fires to speed up the removal of vacant buildings from their neighborhoods.
"The mayor wanted to downsize so the good citizens of Flint are just trying to help out," artznow commented. "Quit complaining it's cheaper the demolition and much faster. I wish a dozen or so would burn in my area to remove the drug infested thug hangouts."
Walling said he believes that a very small amount of the fires are being started
for this reason in Flint, but said they do not occur as often as those
started for fraud, retaliation or domestic and gang violence.
Reader testedtru4u disagreed.
"This is Flint's version of urban renewal," testedtru4u commented. "It is much cheaper to let the firebug burn houses down than meet all the insane requirements to tear a house down and comply with asbestos abatement and the like."
And still more readers, including qzz, apparently commended those responsible for the fires.
"At least some of the residents are taking action to improve the city!," qzz commented.
But Walling said no matter the motivation those responsible for the fires are committing a crime and need to be reported to the police.
"I know that the families and property owners that have been affected by a newly arsoned house have been concerned about that crime taking place," said Walling.
What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

WAILUKU - It took most of the first half, but when the Lahainaluna High School football team had a chance to make a large statement to the state, it did.
With their No. 1 ranking in the KHON Cover 2 Power Poll for Division II in question, the Lunas exploded for four touchdowns in the final 3 minutes, 17 seconds of the first half on the way to a 48-3 win over Baldwin in front of about 6,000 fans on Friday night at War Memorial Stadium.
The Lunas improved to 9-0 overall, 7-0 in the Maui Interscholastic League and 3-0 in the league's second round in front of the first OC16 television audience ever to see an MIL regular-season game.

"We got lucky tonight," Lahainaluna co-head coach Garret Tihada said after his team finished outscoring Baldwin 76-10 this season. "We got a few defensive touchdowns and a bunch of touchdowns in a short amount of time right before halftime. That just changed the momentum of the game."
The Lunas clinched an outright MIL title for the first time since 2004, when they went 1-0-1 against the Bears. In 2001, Lahainaluna went 2-1 against Baldwin, including a 26-14 win in a title game behind quarterback Kainoa Casco. The last time the Lunas went 2-0 against the Bears in a season was 1997, when Jansen Medeiros quarterbacked the team to an 11-1 mark.
Baldwin (5-2, 2-1) scored first Friday, going 71 yards in seven plays before settling for Ricky Casco's 18-yard field goal.

Baldwin vs. King Kekaulike at War Memorial Stadium, 7 p.m.

Lahainaluna vs. Maui High at War Memorial Stadium, 7 p.m.
Baldwin gained 53 yards on the first two plays of the game - a 29-yard reverse run by Kawela Kaeo-Mata and a 24-yard run by Keenan Luis on a fake reverse - and then 47 yards the rest of the half. That first drive ended after the Lunas' defense stood tough on a first-and-goal from the 5-yard line.
"They came out with a great game plan against us," Tihada said. "We couldn't run our normal offense tonight, they shut us down in that respect. With those reverses and fake reverses, they came out with a really good game plan."
Lahainaluna led 7-3 after the first of Jared Rocha-Islas' two touchdown runs, and then Penisimani Taufa, part of the Lunas' nearly unstoppable defensive line, saw the ball in front of him on the ground after a missed handoff between Jeremiah Badillo and Keenan Luis, scooped it up and scored on a 29-yard return with 3:17 left in the first half.
After forcing a three-and-out, the Lunas needed just three plays to go 66 yards in 25 seconds - the final 57 yards were on a quarterback draw by Makoa Filikitonga - and it was 21-3 with 1:04 to go in the half.
Two plays and 21 seconds later, Scott-Isaac Medeiros-Tangatailoa intercepted a Josiah Maglente-Tonu pass and went 32 yards to the end zone.
The Lunas then stopped a fake field-goal try by the Bears with seven seconds left, and on the play that followed - the last of the half - Jeffery Ancog broke open through the middle of the defense and Filikitonga hit him inside the 10 for a 58-yard touchdown.
"(Filikitonga) made a great read and (Ancog) is one of the fastest kids on the island and he did a good job catching up with that ball," Tihada said.
The Lunas held a Bears team averaging 358 yards per game to 138. In the last two seasons, the Lahainaluna defense guided by co-head coach and defensive coordinator Bobby Watson has not allowed an offensive touchdown in a game 13 times, including five this year.
"Coach Watson watches film religiously and breaks down the offense and the kids do exactly what our defensive coaches ask them to do," Tihada said. "You get a good job of getting into the weight room in the summer, you add all those things together and this is what happens."
The Lunas removed any doubt on the second play from scrimmage of the second half when Rocha-Islas broke through the left side of the line and ran 59 yards untouched for a 42-3 lead, turning on the mercy-rule running clock with 11:00 left in the third quarter.
The final touchdown came after Leeland Alavazo blocked a Baldwin punt and backup quarterback Kiko Kohler-Fonohema scored on an 11-yard run with 3:50 remaining in the third quarter.
Lahainaluna put a resounding exclamation point on the evening with a goal-line stand that included three stops after first-and-goal from the 1 in the closing minute.
"They are good, they played well, they played very good football tonight, very physical," Bears coach Keneke Pacheco said of the Lunas. "They have been playing like this all year long, getting better as it goes by. My hat's off to them, good luck to them in the states."
With Maui High finishing Lahainaluna's MIL schedule next week, the Lunas likely need an unbeaten slate to retain what Tihada says is a possible and crucial No. 1 seed for the state tournament.
"If we stumble against Maui High, it's gone," Tihada said. "So, as big as this game was, we talked to the kids about the fact that the next game is just as big."

The authors in this small monograph succeed in a detailed analysis of the different reactions to penicillin. This decade of the use of penicillin is divided into three epochs: first, a period of use of a crude penicillin of low potency which, however, established its relatively low toxicity; second, the "golden era," 1942-1945, when purity improved purity and great clinical effectiveness, while reactions during this period were in part due to menstrua used as oil, wax, etc.; nevertheless, there were reactions to the penicillin as well; third, the period of development of pure crystalline penicillin G, which is being followed by a possible fourth period, dominated by repository dosage with penicillin procaine and more recently others, as L-ephenamine penicillin.
As the authors state, "Antibiotics are only of value for the treatment of infections due to organisms sensitive to the specific antibiotics being employed." The organism must be identified and its

It's very rewarding knowing that our handcrafted resistance pools are making a difference in our customers, and their dogs, lives! This pool owner affectionately calls her SwimEx pool enclosure the "boat house". We think the Huskies deserve a turn!
"It's been seven months since starting exercising in the SwimEx, and I am still swimming and exercising five days a week. Many of my friends couldn't believe we went "all out" and built a heated/cooled room for our pool. Frankly, the cash outlay was a bit scary. Now, I can't imagine what took so long to take the plunge. Even when it's 20 degrees outside, I can walk the 30 steps to the pool house and get a nice work out. What's more: my back and knees never felt better! Sure I saw the commentary that swimming and water aerobics are good exercise. But, these folks haven't used a SwimEx. The quiet, strong, wide and deep current aren't just great for swimming, but perfect for effortlessly stretching your spine. Hold on to the front bars and let the water do the work. Then use the back running board to run for the equivalent of miles without any aches or even twinges. On the mornings after a swim, I ease out of bed without a great amount of stiffness and so many aches. While I sure know I'm no longer 20, the difference is remarkable.
The current is so quiet and smooth that it is really unremarkable to show off to friends unless they step inside. It's kinda "ho hum" when you turn on the current and it quietly swishes to the back of the pool. But hop on in that pool, and you will be stunned at the smooth current and the endless possibilities for exercising. Whether you want to work on bad knees, stretch out your calves, perform ballet bar moves in the water, run for miles or swim as long as you can, this pool has you covered. You can even work out your arms, shoulders and core muscles against the current. Whatever your exercise pleasure, you'll find it here.
One final note, we purchased the drop in exercise platforms in white so we could have more versatility in workouts. It's well worth the money. The workout stations allow you to really vary your routine. The SwimEx is one of the best kept secrets in residential exercise. Come on down to Texas and catch a wave! " - LK Dallas, TX

Q: My pet rat Ronnie (female) is ill! She has porphyrin around her eyes and nose, isn't drinking or eating as normal, she's lethargic and she's struggling to walk — it seems like she's dragging herself. She's normally very active, but even when I get her out she just lays there. I took her to the vets and they didn't seem like they knew about rats. They just gave her two injections. The next day she was a lot better, but now she's deteriorated back to how she was. I would appreciate any advice, and also any info on strokes, because it seems to be mostly on her right side.
A: I am sorry that the visit to the veterinarian did not cause enough improvement in your rat, Ronnie. My first thought is that you need to either call or revisit the veterinarian about your rat. It may be that the initial injections need to be followed with either more injections or oral medication to supplement what was first given to your rat.
Rather than a stroke, what you seem to be describing is whole body weakness, which can mimic a stroke. Strokes are very uncommon in pet rats but whole body weakness due to illness is more likely to occur.
It could be that the injections were antibiotics or vitamins or even anti-inflammatories, and these all helped temporarily to make your rat feel better. Once their effects wore off, however, your rat started feeling bad again and struggled to do normal rat things, such as walk, eat and run around her cage.
If your veterinarians don't seem to know enough about rats, perhaps they can refer you to other veterinarians who frequently see pet rat patients. You can also check the veterinarian list on SmallAnimalChannel or check with the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians. If there is no one in your area who treats rats on a routine basis, the other logical choice is to ask your veterinarians to consult with a colleague who treats rats. They can help Ronnie, via telemedicine consults, which means both you and Ronnie do not need to be stressed by a long-distance car ride.
Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of talking to your veterinarian, as it is important for him or her to know that Ronnie at first responded to the medication but relapsed afterward. Reactions like that give veterinarians clues to the nature of disease, especially when a veterinarian may not be able to run all of the many different types of diagnostics tests in smaller patients that can be performed in larger patients, such as rabbits and ferrets.

Last September, years of effort by the patent community led to passage of the America Invents Act (AIA). The AIA's sweeping reforms include significant changes to patent office practice, new definitions of prior art, and fee-setting authority for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These reforms have the potential to enhance and transform USPTO operations and, in turn, improve the patenting experience for inventors.
While the USPTO and the public are currently tackling a daunting array of rules packages to implement the AIA, the USPTO's proposed fees have come under attack — from within the patent community. It is disappointing that users of the patent system would oppose the USPTO's authority to recover its costs, yet nevertheless expect the patent office to fulfill its expanded responsibilities under the AIA .
There is no dispute that the USPTO should have sufficient funding to operate efficiently and effectively. During the years of wrangling over more controversial elements of the AIA, the vast majority of stakeholders agreed that USPTO fee diversion should be prevented. The AIA doesn't go that far, but it does give the USPTO the power to set fees, a power that was also widely supported (particularly if the USPTO could keep those fees). The USPTO also succeeded in obtaining an appropriation from Congress sufficient to recover its fees, so it seems that for this fiscal year at least, the stars have aligned.
Under the AIA, the USPTO is required to set fees to recover aggregate costs. In an initial fee proposal, the USPTO did just this, with some adjustments designed to encourage certain activities such as filing new patent applications. While some have raised concerns over whether the method for calculating costs or the value proposed for the USPTO reserve fund is optimal, few dispute the USPTO's goals in establishing them, i.e. to effectively and efficiently examine patent applications and review issued patents.
The USPTO has already put in place a number of procedures required by the AIA, such as accelerated examination and the new threshold for granting inter partes reexamination. In the upcoming months, the USPTO will begin to conduct an array of new post-issuance proceedings. Just as the patent community should have the opportunity to provide input on how these new procedures and proceedings work, we also need to work with the USPTO on how much they should cost. Sufficient funding at the right stages of the patent process is a requirement for a well-functioning patent system.
Members of the public should be encouraged to share views regarding specific fees proposed by the USPTO as part of the overall framework for the USPTO to recover its costs. As this process moves forward, the USPTO is expected to publish a final proposed fee schedule in June so the public can submit comments directly to the USPTO. By doing so, those with concerns about the fees should constructively engage in the fee setting process to help the USPTO help itself. But we shouldn't expect the USPTO to get the job done without the fees.

Occasionally, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition still finds itself fighting rough-edged preconceptions: That the event is dedicated to camouflage-clad, tricked-out truck drivers.
If you go
What: Southeastern Wildlife ExpositionWhen: Friday-SundayWhere: Various venues on the Charleston peninsulaPrice: General admission tickets are $20 Friday and Saturday, $10 Sunday, $40 for a three-day pass; VIP packages are $150-$5,000more info: 723-1748 or www.sewe.com
It's an outdated stereotype that quickly can be put to rest, particularly once one considers:
Make sure to head over to The Post and Courier's special SEWE page to read more stories about the expo.
1) SEWE's impressive stock of North American decoys being exhibited and sold for thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars.
2) The volume and variance of the festival's original wildlife and sporting art collections, the exhibit halls inside Charleston Place Hotel teeming with offerings.
3) A programmatic focus on conservation and sustainability, granting awareness to wildlife, habitat and environmental missions.
"The festival has such a variety of cultured aspects, and that's partially what we'd like to help recognize," said John Powell, SEWE's second-year executive director. "This is certainly one of the largest and most important wildlife events in the United States."
In its 31st year, the festival remains a treat for serious collectors, yes, but other demographics, as well. In a broader sense, SEWE functions as a tent, and beneath it are nestled several smaller festivals — or smaller SEWEs, if you will.
Art for everyone
This year's expo offers a return of old favorites like the Decoy Auction & Exhibit by Guyette, Schmidt & Deeter, which features work from famous practitioners like Elmer Crowell. His decoys reveal carved wings and glass eyes, as he frequently used a rasp to help create "feathers" on the heads and breasts of his decoys.
Other notable artists include the Ward Brothers of Maryland, who focus on decorative pieces, and Ken Anger, who has perfected rasp techniques.
Expect a grand scale as SEWE has not granted this much space to the art of decoys in nearly 20 years. The auction and sale are set for Friday, and the exhibit lasts throughout the weekend.
"These objects have enjoyed increasing value. Many of these are quite rare and unique because of the artist, quality manufactured and the region," Powell said.
While the decoy exhibit and related programming speaks to a segmented clientele, other events cater to a more general audience, such as the annual showcase of 120 painters, carvers and sculptors in Charleston Place's grand ballroom.
But there are newer offerings such as 99 Bottles of Art on the Wall, to be held in the Edmunds Room of Charleston Place.
The festival asked SEWE artists to design 99 original wine labels illustrative of various techniques and settings. Then, in a nod to the event's title, 99 tickets will be sold for $100 apiece, as each ensures the purchase of a bottle. "Everyone who buys one or who enters is guaranteed to win," Powell said.
Come Saturday evening, a drawing will assign tickets to bottles, and one lucky ticket-holder will take home the special 100th bottle: a magnum size also decorated with an original canvas piece.
For those who can't wait, each bottle also will feature a "Buy it Now" price. "It provides nice affordable opportunities for the beginner," Powell said.
The Quick Draw/Speed Sculpt on Friday represents a similar opportunity. Each artist will have an hour to create a piece from start to finish, as a live auction will follow.
"It's fun to walk around and talk to artists to see what they've already done, but to watch them create is a different experience," Powell said.
Featured artists
As usual, SEWE will pay homage to a pair of artists. Jay Kemp of Gainesville, Ga., has been chosen as the featured painter, and Pete Zaluzec of Lake Villa, Ill., is the featured sculptor.
Kemp first visited the festival as a 21-year-old art student at North Georgia College & State University. He was energized by the opportunity to see one of his earliest heroes: Belgian painter and naturalist Carl Brenders. "I found out he was going to be in Charleston, and I jumped in my Toyota to see him," Kemp remembers. "When I got there, I started thinking, 'How could I get in that show?'
"But by the time I was 26 or 27, I got in. It jump-started my career. It helped me earn several offers and a national contract."
This year, Kemp's "Riversong" serves as the SEWE poster. The painting depicts an assured egret, one outstretched wing greeting his audience. It's a detailed piece that took 2½ months start to finish.
Another piece titled "Woodland Forest Repose" is a considerable work, the 4-by-3-foot vertical painting showing an elk bedding down. The texture and minutiae are noticeable; his work could be mistaken for a photograph. In fact, his style is best described as photo-realism or super-realism, dozens of visual points referenced in a single painting. Still, he uses a conceptual or abstract approach to arrive at the finished product.
"I don't give much thought to the identity of the object that I'm painting," Kemp said. "An elk might be an oval shape, or a tree might be a vertical cylinder. I'm very much in tuned with getting the foundation or basic design right before I layer anything else on top."
Zaluzec renders some of his best work in three-dimensional fashion, composing his pieces from river stones and bronze casts. He takes pictures of his subjects — for instance, bison, blacktail deer, bull moose, gazelles and grizzlies — and chooses stones to help make up the animals' bodies. Then he pours bronze around the stones to give the art shape and form, the casting expertise courtesy of his friend and 2012 SEWE Featured Sculptor Don Rambadt.
Zaluzec arrived at the idea after working with birds for some time. He sought to change his stylistic approach and visited several museums to view modern pieces to see how various artists used different mediums.
"I came across some contemporary works that combined stone and metal and thought it would be a great combination of materials for wildlife art," he said.
He finds most of the rocks out West on photography trips but keeps a couple of empty 5-gallon buckets in his pickup to collect interesting stones wherever they may turn up.
"These are some of my favorite works in all of SEWE," Powell said.
Zaluzec also makes Gampi prints, heavily processed photographs that involve color, balance and contrast adjustments.
"Although the finished artwork is dramatically different, the basic thought process behind the Gampi and structural work is similar," Zaluzec said. "I start by doing field work and taking reference photographs. From those, I choose a pose or composition I like and expand on it in my chosen medium."
Other programming
Naturally, SEWE's annual itinerary would not be complete without several other stopovers. Among this year's attractions:
DockDogs: The uber-popular competition is back these year with two — two! — tanks, as dogs of all kinds will vie in water-jumping contests at Brittlebank Park. The 40-by-20-foot tanks will be placed side by side, making SEWE the only event to host two-tank DockDog competitions this side of the Mississippi.
SeaWorld and Busch Gardens animal ambassador Julie Scardina: A frequent guest on NBC's "Today" show as well as "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Scardina will share her love for animals and wildlife conservation during her SEWE debut. With more than two decades of experience in animal care, Scardina has worked with the 8,000-pound killer whale Shamu, along with otters, sea lions, walruses, elephants, kangaroos and various birds of prey. Her presentations include two shows on Friday and two on Saturday.
Living With Wolves: For six years, husband and wife Jim and Jamie Dutcher lived with a pack of wolves in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. The couple settled in a tented camp as they studied the behaviors and social inclinations of the Sawtooth Pack. The Dutchers' research enabled the documentation of behaviors previously unrecorded, leading to the release of Emmy Award-winning films and publication of the National Geographic book "The Hidden Life of Wolves." At SEWE, the couple will discuss their experiences during presentations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Chef demos: Come watch Charleston chefs show off their wares in Marion Square with favorite recipes incorporating locally grown and produced ingredients. This year, the lineup includes Michelle Weaver of Charleston Grill, Marc Collins of Circa 1886, John Ondo of Lana, Nate Whiting of Tristan, Fred Neuville of Fat Hen and David Pell of Coast Bar & Grill, among others.
Animals up close: Busch Wildlife Sanctuary grants guests a change to see alligators, bobcats, foxes, birds of prey and snakes at the Charleston Music Hall. Brittlebank Park hosts pony and camel rides, a petting zoo and the Edisto Island Serpentarium tent, while the Center for Birds of Prey returns with free flight demonstrations in Marion Square. Kids love this stuff. "You have to get them interested now," Powell said. "And really, that's what much of SEWE is about — honoring nature and helping introduce it to newer audiences."
SEWE insider tips
Intimidated by so much going on at so many venues? Relax. Here are a few tips, offered by event staff, on how to make the most of the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition:Make your arrangements in advance. You can avoid lines at the event by purchasing tickets at any Charleston area Visitor Center (downtown, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston or Kiawah). During the event, tickets are available in Marion Square, Brittlebank Park and other venues. Be sure to get a SEWE brochure, which includes a venue map, shuttle stops and parking options, event schedule and highlights.SEWE is not just for outdoorsmen. While SEWE does feature fine sporting arms, fly-fishing gear, decoys, guides and outdoor outfitters galore, the expo also offers demonstrations by some Lowcountry chefs and lectures, films and presentations on art and conservation. The expo also features a range of jewelry, souvenirs and gifts.Sunday is a great day to attend. Friday is the public opening and Saturday always draws the biggest attendance, but many out-of-towners head home on Sunday, so parking is usually easier to come by and crowds are lighter. All of the venues and exhibits are still in full swing. In fact, the DockDogs finals are expected to draw a big crowd Sunday afternoon.SEWE is family friendly with a variety of hands-on activities that are fun and educational. A bonus is that children 10 and under are admitted free. VIP packages offer the most bang for the buck. With five days of special events and perks such as art previews, parties that range from black tie to blue jeans, and hospitality suites with snacks and adult beverages, the SEWE VIP program allows guests to enjoy the event to the fullest. A new event last year that's held over, VIPs may enjoy a Southern breakfast at the Francis Marion Hotel on Saturday, complete with bloody marys, mimosas and bluegrass music.Bring your friends. SEWE is a social event and is even more fun when you come with a group. Organize a group to share a VIP package or make plans to meet up with others to enjoy a day at the expo. On Friday, enjoy expo activities during the day, then do the SEWE King Street Stroll 6:30-8:30 p.m. Select shops will extend their hours, serve libations and host SEWE artists at work. Park once and then walk/ride the shuttle between venues. Plenty of parking is available downtown, and a free shuttle runs throughout the weekend for SEWE ticket/badge holders. A handicap-accessible bus also is available. Use the schedule and map on Pages 16-17 or the festival brochure to plan your weekend.SEWE is dog friendly. Leashed pets are welcome at all outdoor venues and in Charleston Place. Think your dog can jump? If so, sign up for the DockDogs competitions, where pooches of all shapes and sizes will leap for top honors. Advance registration through dockdogs.com is highly recommended, as day-of spots fill quickly. One note: Pets are not allowed on SEWE shuttle buses.

"The Pens room was abuzz. Players were smiling and joking, it was loud; the mood was jovial. And not 'we just won a game' jovial, but 'we're awesome, we know it and we've got nothing to prove' jovial.
The injured, but always entertaining Max Talbot joined the Fleury scrum. Talbot told the goalie to answer questions in French that he would then translate. Everyone knew this wasn't going to be a typical question and answer period. Fleury, much shier than Talbot, agreed in an almost 'aw shucks' manner and began answering. Talbot then 'translated,' offering typical hockey-speak answers. But by question three he was bored and offered something it was obvious Fleury hadn't said. That was all the netminder could take. He immediately made sure it was known he didn't say what Talbot said, everyone broke up in laughter and Talbot went on his merry way, shaking hands and telling stories."

Yep, we could taste the love in these juicy white-meat burgers from Carla Hall's new cookbook. The co-host of ABC's "The Chew" and a "Top Chef" alumna suggests topping them with celery and blue cheese slaw, which is another recipe from the book.
You'll have some of the flavored mayo left over; it can be refrigerated for up to three days.
Buffalo Wing Burgers
For the burgers:
½ small yellow onion
2 medium cloves garlic
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking the burgers
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons hot sauce, preferably Frank's
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1¼ pounds raw, coarsely ground turkey or chicken (white meat)
4 whole-wheat potato hamburger buns
For the mayo:
½ lemon
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Frank's
2 teaspoons honey
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
For the burgers: Mince the onion to yield 1/3 cup. Mince the garlic.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and salt, stirring to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic. Cook for about 8 minutes or until the onion has turned lightly golden, then add the black pepper, hot sauce, thyme and crushed red pepper flakes, stirring to incorporate. Transfer to a mixing bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
Add the ground turkey or chicken; use slightly dampened hands to gently combine the mixture. Form into 4 patties of equal size.
Use a little oil to film the bottom of the skillet (the same one used to cook the onion and garlic). Place over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned on the bottom, then turn the burgers over and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through; you can tell because the juices will run clear.
While the burgers are cooking, make the mayo: Squeeze a tablespoon of lemon juice into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, honey and cayenne pepper, stirring to combine. The yield is a generous 1/2 cup. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Spread a tablespoon or so of the mayo on the inside tops and bottoms of the buns. Place the burgers on the bottom buns and complete the sandwiches with the top buns. Serve warm. Serves 4.

text: (NAPSI)—Whether it's inherited china from Grandma or place settings straight off the wedding registry, the choice of accessories and tabletop decor can bring old-world charm to new dinnerware or freshen beloved family heirlooms. Fiesta Dinnerware, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, offers some tips on how to set the table with something old and new. From Contemporary To Country Cottage Even modern solid-colored dinnerware can translate to a fresh, vintage look when paired with well-picked accessories. Place sprigs of herbs in petite vases in a row down the middle of the table, or use a white cotton tablecloth with a touch of lace. Incorporate natural materials like jute through place mats, or bring in sun-washed colors like buttercream through cloth napkins, which can often be picked up for next to nothing at yard sales or secondhand shops. Don't be afraid to mix and match complementary colors in order to come up with a complete set. And, in lieu of water glasses, pick up a few Mason jars. From Traditional To Trendy No matter the color scheme, there's always a way to update traditional styles—even the floral pastels of Grandma's best china. Just incorporate more intense versions of the colors. A simple apple-green table runner, for example, could play up flowers in the dinnerware's design, and feels fresher than a traditional tablecloth. By adding dishes in solid colors like Marigold, Fiesta's new color of the year, or Turquoise, you can create a timeless yet perky feel. Items with curving, Art Deco—style lines—like the company's sleek Disc Pitcher—can also provide a bridge between today's geometric prints and yesterday's elaborate designs. From Transitional To Timely Many people have dinnerware and other accessories that are considered "transitional"—with stylized floral patterns or a simple printed border—and that lend themselves easily to "then" and "now." For example, dinnerware with an ombré design—in which one color gradually fades into a second—can feel modern and funky when served with square bowls in a solid coordinating color, but just as easily goes vintage if a calico-print tablecloth and fresh bouquet of flowers are on the table.

Alumni Success Story
Author Sheds New Light on Pulitzer
What project will find you traveling to Paris to claim handwritten journals, reading through Hungarian archives, and rummaging around a box rescued from a dumpster in 1970's St. Louis? If you are James McGrath Morris, CAS/BA '96, they are all a part of everyday primary source research for his newest biography. Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print and Power, documents the life of Joseph Pulitzer, the industrial revolution-era media baron.
Morris is no stranger to success in the biography genre. His previous book, The Rose Man of Sing Sing: A True Tale of Life, Murder, and Redemption in the Age of Yellow Journalism, was selected as a Washington Post Best Book of the Year in 2004. Morris feels the biography is an especially personal way to interact with history. His first rule on writing biographies: Choose your historical bedfellow well. You're going to be living together for a while.
As a leader in the field, Morris is the editor of Biographer's Craft, a monthly newsletter, and a founding member of Biographers International Organization. As a former educator – including time teaching at AU - he also feels that biographies have an especially important role in connecting young people to history.
Although Morris first came to AU in 1975, he finished his undergraduate degree more than 20 years later, in homage to the Mark Twain advice of "never letting schooling get in the way of education."
Thus, after starting his studies at AU, Morris spent time in Yugoslavia, and then became a journalist in New Mexico working first in radio, then print. The hourly deadlines gave way to daily and then monthly deadlines and then came the book business where there was just as much pressure, but no deadlines. As a publisher, Morris enjoyed helping provide a platform to launch a book and having that book touch people in new ways. Sometimes it goes straight to the top. His company published a book that Barack Obama cited as one that influenced his community organizing work.
At 40 years old, Morris decided he wanted to teach, so he returned to AU to complete his undergraduate education, knowing he would find support as a nontraditional student and have the chance to work with incredible faculty.
Morris attributes two themes that consistently arise in the reviews of his books, to skills he learned while studying at American: narrative drive and sound research skills. These he credits in part from his experience will stellar faculty, particularly Professor Joan Radner's comparative story telling course and Professor Terry Murphy's history classes.
On campus you most likely would have found him in the library. There, one of his favorite experiences was finding a book someone else had marked up.In a career that has spanned from journalism to publishing to teaching to now writing full time, Morris believes there are very few professions that you get better at as at you age, and writing biographies is one. One day he hopes to find his books in the library... with your marks in them.
Come hear Morris talk about his new book at his book talk on February 16 in the Bender Library Mudbox.

Police are investigating after a car hit a man on a scooter. It happened around 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening on Cliff Drive at Meigs Road in Santa Barbara.
Officer Kent McBride from the Santa Barbara Police Department said the man on the scooter was crossing the street when it happened.
"When we got to the scene it was a man in a wheelchair who had been drinking and he was crossing, not in the crosswalk, and a driver coming westbound on Cliff Drive didn't see him and they collided."
Officers say the man was taken to cottage hospital, but is expected to be OK.
The driver wasn't hurt in the crash.

Background (this is my first trip report)
The reason for this trip is that i planned to take a week off back in December because i wanted to see Trooping the Colour ceremony upfront( i am a royal watcher). so i booked a week off in mid June to coincide with this. the problem is that I am a notorious procrastinator because i waited until early June to book my trip. perhaps i had doubts b/c this was my first trip overseas on my own. i have been quite a browsing on on this site for a while and and read stories from fellow posters about avoiding LHR at all costs. since i never have been to LHR, i wanted to check it out myself. because it was a last minute trip, it would be quite pricey but i did not mind. i decided to book with BA as i wanted to go through LHR and go non stop
Thursday June 14th
British Airways Flight 92
depart YYZ 6:25pm
arrive LHR 6:43pm
Boeing 767-336/ER
Seat 31A
i went online to at midday on BA.com to print my boarding pass and pre select my seat. i always love window seats. iI chose a seat away from the wings of the plane as window seats on the airline wing i find distracting and they obscure the views i enjoy from the plane. I left home at about 3:30 from Markham and took the 407 ETR express to the airport. Everyone in the family advises that if you are taking an evening flight from Pearson International Airport in Toronto , take the 407 highway to avoid the 401 highway rush hour. I got to the airport at 4: 05pm at terminal 3 and dropped my bags at the drop in baggage desk. I went to to the Travelex booth at T3 to buy UK pounds and browsed the terminal before going to security and heading for the gate.
We were for immediate boarding at about 5:55 pm and i proceeded to the gate at T3. i was somewhat disappointed to be flying the 763 as i wanted to that the later flight at 8:01pm which would have been on a 744. I contacted BA and they advised me that specific flight was overbooked and if I had wanted to take the chance and be on that flight, I would be on stand by. I did not want to take the risk so i swallowed my pride. i was quite surprised how " squeezed" the 763 felt inside very narrow as though i was flying on an airbus 319.
I took my seat and for the 6 hour trip, sat next to a man headed for Turkey who during, taxiing , safety presentations would talk endlessly on the his cellphone. one member of the BA crew noted this but did nothing. maybe it is fine to speak on the cell during taxing and security presentations . I do not know. He asked me questions like someone who was flying for the first time
" when shall we land in London?"
" How far is London?"
" How long does it take to fly to London?'
' How far is it from London to Istanbul?"
" How long does it take to fly from London to Istanbul?"
I am not a seasoned traveller nor with an experienced knowledge of geography so I just took guesses and gave him answers off the top of my head
As we were airborne, drinks were served first , then dinner ( choice b/w beef or chicken. i took the chicken), and before landing in London a morning breakfast. the IFE system, for some passengers, was not working and the pilot had to reset it twice, which annoyed me as i was one of those not affected.I watched : "Children of Men" and the " Last king of Scotland", the latter i did not see in its entirety as i dozed off and went to sleep. the flight was uneventful and the flight crew was quite attentive
pics during the flight
we landed at LHR and we were taken not to the terminal but the offramp where we were put on buses to be taken to the terminal. my first impressions of LHR were that of a very old airport ,somewhat dark, and depressing( mostly of T4) . One of course looks forward to the opening of T5. What surprised me was how fast i passed through immigration. they were no long lines and the immigration officer spent about 20 seconds looking at my paasport, stamping it, asking "business or pleasure" and then proceede to tell me to be on my way. Perhaps i was lucky that day. I picked up my luggage at proceeded to the train station downstairs to take Heathrow express to Paddington station, where my hotel was near by.
view of my hotel room view. i am not the type to complain, but come on
here are some pics of my trip in London.
Trooping the Colour
Wednesday June 20
British airways flight 93
Depart LHR 11:55am
Arrive YYZ 2:46pm
Boeing 747-436
Seat 18K
I apologize for not having alot of pics for my return trip as my battery went dead on the camera at the airport and i was taking pics for the return trip. I left my hotel early in the morning to take the Paddington express at 7:45 am. i got to Heathrow at about 8:00am and printed my boarding pass at the kiosk .when i went to the ticket to leave my luggage and the ticketing agent said I was too early to accept the luggage and I should come back at 9am ( my flight was at 11: 55am) to leave my luggage. so here i was already checked in and carrying my luggage around the terminal area. i had breakfast at the italian cafe near Zone A of the British Airways/ Sri Lankan checkin desk ( forgot the name). when 9am came I dropped my bag off and passed thru security. Because i had plenty of time I browsed around the terminal where nearly all the duty free shops sold almost the same thing
I realized that I had left 100 pounds in my wallet and did not want to bring it back with me to Canada so I proceeded to buy as much as i can from the duty free shop located near gated 22/23/24. I bought a vodka , chocolates and Bailey's. the cashier asked me;
Her :" Are you traveling to Lagos or Accra?"
Me: " What makes you think i am traveling to Lagos or Accra"
Her: "Passengers for those destinations buy alot of goods at the duty free shops before flying."
me: " No, i am going to Toronto"
obviously when you buy something at the duty free you have to show your boarding pass.she asked this question because I am black and presumed i would be going to Africa and bringing alot of goods with me. But i was not offended because she was partly right. I saw passengers bound for the gate for the Lagos flight carrying bags and bags of duty free goods containing alot of alcohol.
I proceeded to gate 10 for the flight to Toronto carrying 4 bags plus my bag sack.It was at this time that the battery on my camera went off and so no further pics. we taxied at 12:30pm as no reason was given for the delay and stayed on the taxiway for eternity as I presume some flights had priority on the runway before us. the flight was uneventful but like the inbound flight the IFE broke down and was rest this time 3 times. all in all, the flight was pleasant. like my inbound flight, the flight crew was productive and and quite resilient for a full 744 flight . For this flight I chose to chicken curry and tried to finish watching " the Last King of Scotland" as i had tried to do on the inbound flight. I found the film did not spark my interest and again I dozed off. At Toronto, we landed on runway 33L due to some strong northerly winds. The plane flew over lake Ontario and we got an amazing view of downtown GTA ( I was annoyed for not having taken pics at this time). This was my first time with BA and i would definitely fly them again and go through LHR again

49ers' Delanie Walker always in position to help

KNBR conversation: 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith
The following is an edited version of KNBR's Damon Bruce in conversation with 49ers rookie linebacker Aldon Smith.
Q: What is Jim Harbaugh like? What is one thing that stands out most in the guy?
A: His competitiveness and love for the game. His will to win.
Q: What do you think right now is the best part of your game, the strongest aspect of what you're doing? What is the one thing you and your coaches are working on improving as fast as possible?
A: The thing I am doing pretty good at this time is rushing the passer and the thing I have to work on, dropping back into coverage.
Q: Is it a specific read coming off the line of scrimmage? Or do you get assigned to the tight end right off the rip? How exactly does that work, the difference between plays when you're rushing and plays when you're dropping back? How do you go about moving in space to be in the right place to drop back?
A: You might have a tight end you're guarding, a running back, a wide receiver. You've got three different types of athletes out there that you might be guarding. You have to predicate your drop-off to who you're guarding and what your assignment is.
Q: How do you get around Joe Thomas? Is that an over, under, around or through situation?
A: Joe Thomas is a great tackle. He has done a tremendous job in Cleveland. You just have to be able to work a variety of moves and keep getting pressure on him.
Q: What do you think about Missouri maybe going to the SEC?
A: That would be crazy. Everything has gotten shaken up with everyone switching around. They can (win) wherever they go.
Q: Ricky Jean Francois, your teammate (who played at LSU), was talking about if Andrew Luck played in the SEC, it would not happen. He's thinking Missouri wouldn't fare well in the SEC either. Have you talked to him about that?
A: We have had our conversations about the SEC versus the Big 12, but we played an SEC team and we beat them when I was at Missouri so I am not listening to Ricky on that.
Q: How nice is it to have one of your alma mater's greatest players as one of your teammates right now in Justin Smith?
A: It's tremendous, a great player beside me and it's even better that he went to Missouri and we have that connection.
Q: Did you think you guys had it to be 5-1? Are you willing to admit that you guys are a little ahead of schedule?
A: I did – I mean, we work hard and we do a lot of things a lot of people don't know about. We don't go out thinking we're going to lose. We plan to win. We practice hard and the result is that we are winning games.
Q: You say you do a lot of things people don't know about; tell us one of those things.
A: I can't tell you. We do the small things. I feel like we are a family here. Everybody is bonding; we work well together and mesh well on the field. Offense does their thing, special teams does their thing, defense does their thing, and we are able to put together good games.
Q: What is calming down and relaxing for you? A night on the couch watching a little tube or going out with the fellas?
A: A night on the couch looking out at the city.

SPRINGFIELD - A 3-year-old girl went from being Destiny Roberts, battered and neglected since infancy, to being Destiny Chapman, a healthy, cherished beach baby and only child of her new parents.
The child was among 17 legally bound into permanent families on Friday at Hampden Juvenile Court on Friday, National Adoption Day, when thousands of children enter into similar unions with new families across the country.
The building on State Street - typically home to many stories of heartbreak - was transformed into a festive, jubilant backdrop with crafts and a puppet show and cameras flashing like mad as families marked the day they grew by one or more. Children ages 18 months to 13 years old were adopted back-to-back on Friday morning. Many, like Destiny Chapman, had come from abusive homes or had previously lived transient lives ping-ponging from foster home to foster home.
"We were her third family," Vicki Chapman, 43, of East Sandwich, who adopted the three-year-old along with her wife, Susan Chapman, 49.
The women tried unsuccessfully to conceive after they were married and were headed for a childless early retirement in the Cape Cod town until they met 1-year-old Destiny at a family party two years ago. Destiny was living with her biological mother's cousin after a horrific attempt on her life by her mother's boyfriend in a Mansfield hotel room in 2009, according to published reports.
Vicki Chapman said they were recruited to take the child in, but were immediately unable to because they had a dog prohibited by the state for foster families. However, the dog died, and the Chapmans started their journey from childless business owners to new mothers. In addition to adjusting to the lifestyle change, the Chapmans said they expected Destiny to have special needs because of her history.
"When she had food, she'd gobble it up until she got sick. As if she had never seen food before. And her legs were so weak from being stuck in a playpen all day. But we realized she just needed one-on-one attention," Susan Chapman said.
"Now she's fabulous," Vicki Chapman added.
The adoption was swift and took place in Juvenile Courtroom Two before Judge Patricia M. Dunbar.
"Hi, Destiny. Are you ready to be adopted," Dunbar asked the child seated before her.
"Uh-huh," she responded affirmatively, blonde ponytail bobbing, seemingly more interested in the stuffed penguin and wrapped presents before her.
With a few words, it was done. And there was applause.
The Chapmans, who own their own construction business, said the final decree was a relief as there had been two years of uncertainty and weekly, seven-hour round-trip commutes from the Cape to Springfield for supervised visits with Destiny's birth mother.
By the time the adoption process was over, Destiny's assailant, Matthew Werner, 24, of Brockton, had already completed a short jail sentence for beating and strangling the child, the Chapmans noted. But, it was worth the wait, harship and paperworker to bring their daughter home, they said.
"It's incredible. It's a done deal. She's not going to be taken away from us, and she's going to be on the beach forever," Vicki Chapman said.

WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP -- Michigan authorities have provided assistance for the private cleanup of the former Muskegon County wastewater property in Whitehall Township, paving the way for a multifaceted development.
The Silver Creek New Energy Development on the 640 acres northeast of U.S. 31 and Holton-Whitehall Road received $492,000 in brownfield tax credits and a $1 million brownfield loan from the Michigan Economic Growth Authority Tuesday morning.
The state's assistance was based on an initial $13 million private investment and the creation of 150 jobs over the next five years. Over the long run, the potential private investment has been estimated at $54 million.
The Silver Creek plans include an electricity-generating plant, cellulosic ethanol plant, recycling/waste transfer station, farming and a residential neighborhood in a wooded area never used in the county's operations. All the plans will need to be approved by the Whitehall Township Planning Commission and Board of Trustees.
The state's environmental cleanup assistance will allow Silver Creek to continue on its development plans. The company -- a creation of Scott Erdman, owner of Erdman Machine Co. in Whitehall -- has until February to complete the purchase of the former wastewater site from the county for $1.325 million.
"This is great news," Whitehall Township Supervisor Dennis Babcock said of the state brownfield approvals. "Many times we have wondered at the township how we would clean this property. I don't think there is much question (Silver Creek) will go forward now. I think we are past all of the issues that would have stopped it."
Silver Creek's Ken Lahey said environmental cleanup of remaining piping and structures from the county wastewater operations, along with potential contamination, will begin when the property is purchased under a land contract from the county.
The company initially would begin agricultural operations with the planting of 100 acres of hay. Electric generation and ethanol production are planned for future years, Lahey said.
