Morning rain didn't delay Shallotte's annual Christmas parade, which proceeded down Main Street promptly at 10 a.m. Dec. 5.
The rain clouds parted just long enough to allow the hour-long procession to continue as scheduled from Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse onto Main Street.
"I think there was a lot of praying going on," said parade organizer Cindy Babson with the town of Shallotte.
Calabash's Christmas tree lighting Dec. 4 was a life-size rendition of the cozy ceramic villages sold at Callahan's, the local store where the annual event took place.
As holiday music played, townspeople gathered outside the gift shop to await the golf cart parade, which proceeded down Beach Drive and River Road to the delight of children and adults gathered on the sidewalk.
Folks lined up for free popcorn from an old-timey vendor. There also were hot dogs, coffee and cocoa.
Last weekend, my wife and I decided to go to the local farmers market and pick some tomatoes. I had never done this before, so I didn't really know what to expect.
Once there, we grabbed some boxes and hopped on the hay wagon. There were five or six others onboard with us for the tomato-picking experience.
No holiday would be complete without a performance of "The Nutcracker."
But in Brunswick County this holiday season, that calls for tradition with a bit of a twist—performances by the newly formed Brunswick Ballet Company dancing nimble steps to a coastal version called "Nutcracker Under the Sea."
SUNSET BEACH—Seaside United Methodist Church Choir will present its annual Christmas cantata in two performances this Sunday, Dec. 13.
The cantata, to be performed by 95 choir members, is "One Small Child" by Tom Fettke, choir director Kathryn Parker said.
A 12-piece orchestra, some from the Wilmington Symphony, is providing accompaniment for the performances set for 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the church at 1300 Seaside Road in Sunset Beach.
The ensemble also includes a harpist from Southern Pines, Parker said.
The Shallotte Junior Women's Club will present its second annual Stand Up For Charity benefit comedy show featuring comedian Bobby Collins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 2, in Odell Williamson Auditorium at Brunswick Community College.
Collins' brand of humor is described as heartfelt and witty, engaging audiences with a "clever blend of characterizations and hilarious observations."
For little ones wishing to receive a response from Santa Claus by Christmas, they're asked to bring their letters to Santa of the North Pole Mailbox at the Museum of Coastal Carolina by Dec. 18.
Scott Kucera, executive director the Ocean Isle Museum Foundation, which includes the Museum of Coastal Carolina at Ocean Isle Beach and Ingram Planetarium at Sunset Beach, says children who bring their letters by the museum by Dec. 18 will be able to have their letters sent to the North Pole and back, all in time for Christmas.
For Mary Brown, becoming a minister was a journey from a life of poverty, drugs and incarceration to a new life.
That's what led the West Virginia native become active in ministry in Shallotte and to move beyond her old life into a new one—starting a small church and providing inspiration to those in need.
Two years ago, Brown started House of Deliverance Worship Ministry on Tryon Road in Shallotte, and although the church has a small number of regular visitors, she continues to do what she feels God has called her to do.
Winter is on the way. Autumn is fading. If you look around, you will notice the trees have shed their bright fall colors and the grass is turning brown.
Birds are once again visiting backyard feeders for a meal. Christmas decorating is at a frenzied pace with everyone decking the halls.
Ask most folks about a plant at Christmas and they'll mention poinsettias or Christmas trees. Both of those are traditional parts of our holiday celebrations, but neither usually sticks around much past early January.
If you want a great Christmas plant that will do great year after year, consider what is now called a "holiday cactus." These natives of the tropical rainforests of Central and South America boast colorful blossoms in shades of pink, red and white at the tips of each arching stem.

"There's nothing to eat."
Kids often say TNTE after school. Adults say TNTE after work.
We all, at times, walk in the door and need an instant energy boost. That's where these easy snack ideas using pantry staples come in. They just take some quick thinking, easy assembly and two to three minutes of your time.
An old favorite: Peanut butter and crackers. Top with sliced banana, raisins or a dab of jelly.
Looks fancy: Celery ribs, cleaned and cut into quarters. Fill with peanut butter and top with raisins or dried cranberries. Or fill with cream cheese or cottage cheese and top with chopped walnuts or sesame seeds. Sprinkle with Tabasco.
Tuna crunchers: Drain a can of tuna. Mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 diced pickle. Eat on crackers, toast or in a rib of celery.
Gorp: Mix nuts or seeds and dried fruit - peanuts, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, coconut, etc. Spread peanut butter on apple slices and dip into gorp to see what sticks.
Mix other snack items such as Cheese-Its or pretzels into gorp.
Gorp is also a good topper for cottage cheese, applesauce or cereal.
Easy quesadillas: Like a grilled-cheese sandwich, with tortillas instead of bread. Layer sliced cheese on one tortilla. Add sliced tomato, jalapeño peppers, leftover chicken, canned black beans or black or green olives, as desired. Top with another tortilla. Don't fill it so full that you can't easily flip it in the pan and eat it with your hands!
Use a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt a dot of oil or butter in pan, or cook in the dry pan. Grill 1 to 2 minutes on each side, watching constantly so it doesn't burn. Slice the quesadilla like a pie. Dip it in salsa.
Waffle sandwich: Toast two frozen waffles. Spread one with peanut butter and jelly, or with cream cheese and jelly. Top with the other. Cut into quarters. The cheese or peanut butter will melt just enough to make the waffle sandwich gooey.
The Everything Smoothie: In a blender, combine ingredients - bananas, canned fruit, milk, yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, almond butter, juice, soy milk - whatever you have. Check your freezer and add leftover Popsicles, ice cream bars, or frozen fruit. For flavor, add vanilla or lemon extract. Sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Kim Kardashian Airbrushed Out of Ultra-Orthodox Website
This has gotta be a first: Kim Kardashian is not in the picture.
But it's happened, in Israel, on an ultra-Orthodox Jewish news website, which covered or blurred her face in a picture taken of her during her stopover in Jerusalem this week.
Kim and husband Kanye West had dinner on April 13 with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, but the picture of the three of them was altered.
It showed only Kanye and the mayor, with Kim's face covered by a picture of a receipt or just blurred to the point of oblivion.
Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at the Kikar HaShabbat website, said April 15 they removed Kim because she is a "pornographic symbol" who contradicts ultra-Orthodox values, according to The Associated Press.
The website wasn't too happy with Barkat, either, because he dined with the couple at a high-end but non-kosher restaurant, and supposedly the bill was was nearly $700.
In its article, the website referred to Kim as merely "West's wife," which must have been amusing to both.

'Funnel of fire' destroys homes in Washington
PATEROS, Wash. -- A fire racing through rural north-central Washington destroyed about 100 homes, leaving behind smoldering rubble, solitary brick chimneys and burned-out automobiles as it blackened hundreds of square miles in the scenic Methow Valley.
Friday's dawn revealed dramatic devastation, with the Okanagan County town of Pateros, home to 650 people, hit especially hard. Most residents evacuated in advance of the flames, and some returned Friday to see what, if anything, was left of their houses.
There were no reports of injuries, officials said.
A wall of fire wiped out a block of homes on Dawson Street. David Brownlee, 75, said he drove away Thursday evening just as the fire reached the front of his home, which erupted like a box of matches.
"It was just a funnel of fire," Brownlee said. "All you could do was watch her go."
Next door, the Pateros Community Church appeared largely undamaged.
The pavement of U.S. Highway 97 stopped the advance of some of the flames, protecting parts of Pateros.
Firefighters poured water over the remnants of homes Friday morning, raising clouds of smoke, steam and dust. Two big water towers perched just above the town were singed black by the flames. The fire consumed utility poles from two major power lines, one feeding Pateros and the other feeding the towns of Winthrop and Twisp to the north.
Gov. Jay Inslee said about 50 fires were burning in Washington, which has been wracked by hot, dry weather and lightning. About 2,000 firefighters were working in the eastern part of the state, with about a dozen helicopters from the Department of Natural Resources and the National Guard, along with a Washington State Patrol spotter plane.
Inslee said that the state was rapidly training about 1,000 additional National Guard troops and active duty military could be called in as well.

Trade Reorganization: Overview and Issues for Congress
Date: May 31, 2012
Creator: Ilias, Shayerah
Description: On January 13, 2012, President Obama asked Congress for authority to reorganize and consolidate into one department the business- and trade-related functions of six federal entities. U.S. policymakers' interest in the organizational structure of U.S. government trade functions has grown in recent years, stimulated by congressional and federal efforts to promote U.S. exports and employment, including through the National Export Initiative (NEI). Interest also has been stimulated by national debates on reducing federal spending and the size of the U.S. government. This report looks at the policy debate and role of Congress in such a move.

Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have announced a deal on all major end of session issues, including renewal of New York City's rent laws and a related property tax cap, as well as a new tax rebate program for property owners. Cuomo presses for 'Raise the Age' By Karen DeWitt • May 29, 2015 governorandrewcuomo / Flickr Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited a state prison Thursday to announce he's hiring more guards, and to push for a change in how 16- and 17-year-olds are treated in the state prison system. Cuomo has been pressing the issue known as Raise the Age since his State of the State message in January. It would no longer treat 16- and 17-year-olds accused of violent crimes as adults, and instead house them in special detention centers separate from the adult state prison system. Caucus calls for criminal justice overhaul By Karen DeWitt • Apr 30, 2015 Karen DeWitt / WRVO News The New York State legislature's Black, Hispanic and Asians Caucus is reacting to events in Baltimore and is calling for swift action on a package of criminal justice reforms that have been stalled in the state Senate. The caucus members say they've grown weary of incidents where African Americans die after encounters with police. Assemblyman Michaela Blake represents portions of the Bronx. "Baltimore is happening in the Bronx, " Blake said. "It can happen anywhere." Blake says the young people involved in the riots are not thugs or criminals. Cuomo comments on recidivism against backdrop of prison closures By Natasha Haverty NCPR • Jan 10, 2014 governor.ny.gov In his State of the State speech this week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo once again blasted New York's state prison system, describing what he called the "madness" of mass incarceration in New York. That tough language follows Cuomo's declaration in his State of the State address three years ago that prisons should no longer be used to boost economic development in rural upstate communities. Advocates urge Cuomo to raise age for youth offenders By Kate O'Connell • Nov 28, 2013 Some rights reserved x1klima New York is one of only two states in the country where all children 16 and older are treated as adults in the criminal justice system. This month the Raise the Age initiative kicked off a statewide campaign in upstate New York, renewing their effort to keep kids under 18 out of adult prisons. Kyle Chambers was incarcerated in an adult prison when he was 16 years old, and spent his 17th birthday inside.

The winners of the Opus Design Award were announced recently and the entries might help solve a lot of our little nagging problems with eyewear. The gold prize went to Nick Jinkinson who designed around transition lenses that more completely transitioned in the sun. Runners up include foldout frames, built in lens cleaner, and what can only appear to be the Opti-Grab from the 1979 comedy The Jerk. Let's hope none of them cause wearers to become permanently and irreversibly cross-eyed.

Burgess Cellars
2007 Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon •Estate Vineyard
California: Napa Valley
Mission Briefing
Wine as Art
Today's 2007 Burgess Cellars Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is art in a bottle. It is magic that hails from the increasingly important 99 point (Wine Spectator) 2007 Napa Cabernet vintage.
Today's 2007 Burgess Cellars Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon inspired a very spirited conversation about the art that is winemaking. This conversation came about after tasting some really good wines - and then tasting this really superb wine. The discussion was broader than we can share with you here, but we all agreed that as a winemaker matures and as his or her vineyards also mature, the winemaker's talents also evolve… sometimes to the point when that talent presents as bottled art. Today's wine is one which reinforces this somewhat esoteric tenet.
This wine will instantly appeal to lovers of mountain fruit Cabernet. The wine entices you with an inviting nose of rich and classic Napa Cab aromas. On the palate, it has great texture and structure, delivering rich and concentrated flavors. The finish is very long with flavors that last long after you've taken your last sip.
Enjoy this very highly recommended and very food friendly wine now - and cellar some for the next 4 to 6 years.
2007 Vintage Update: Wine Spectator recently awarded the 2007 Napa Valley vintage an astounding 99 point score, declaring: "With near-perfect growing conditions and a small crop, the grapes [in 2007] reached ideal ripeness, and the wines show uncommon richness and complexity, a lush texture and impeccable balance." This rating is the highest since 1997, leading Zachys to say, "If you love Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and its blends from Napa Valley…NOW is the time to load up before these last remaining wines disappear! The Wine Advocate's final reviews on late releasing 2007s are due out this December but don't expect these wines to be still available then. Load up now and secure some of the most complex Napa Valley Cabernets in the past decade or more!"
Tasting Profile
Dark garnet and deep purple with a clear but dark and inky core. The dense color of the wine carries through from core to meniscus. When swirled, thin legs hang for a moment before descending to the wine below.
Toasted oak frames ripe spiced blackberry, cassis and red currants with dark earthy minerals. Bold fruit, spice and wood aromas are woven with hints of sweet black licorice, cocoa and toasted vanilla.
Flavors of blackberry, spice, leather, black cherry, cassis and braised plum lead the way, with subtle mineral notes and earthy minerals providing great backbone.
Long and lasting with the textured, powdered tannins and earthy minerality coating the palate while the fruit flavor lingers. The dry and chewy mouth-feel makes the mouth water for another sip just as the fruit fades.
Enjoy this wonderful and elegant wine with something equally satisfying. A nice rare steak or perfectly grilled lamb shank would be a real delight.
What the Winery Says
Napa Valley is known for excellent and consistent wines, this year was no exception. From a solid fruit set to ideal harvest conditions, the grapes came in with stunning quality. More family involvement from Jim and Steve Burgess starting in 2006 resulted in a stricter, more detailed, and more thorough evaluation of maturity resulting is some of the most accurate picking dates ever. Knowing wines are made in the vineyard, this is paramount to success. True to Burgess style, our wines showcase the fruit, complemented by a hint of French oak.

About the Winery
When Tom purchased the 1870's era winery in 1972 he established himself as a pioneer of mountainside wineries. At the time, there were only approximately 2 dozen wineries in operation in the whole of Napa Valley and he saw the potential of mountain vineyards to produce wines that evoke the French concept of terroir: that the grapes, and thus wines, should reflect the vineyard's soil, exposure, and overall micro-climate.
Currently we grow eight varieties at our three vineyards with the best site-specific methods, which allows us to produce consistency in the style of wines we produce.
Winemaker Kelly Woods
Brought up in the pastoral community of Santa Maria on California's Central Coast, Kelly Woods chose to build upon her agricultural roots and follow a career in viticulture through the world famous UC Davis School of Viticulture and Enology.
Kelly's winemaking career has seen her at Seavey, Bryant Family, and Sequoia Grove wineries in the Napa Valley as well as further afield in New Zealand. She manages all aspects of winemaking - be it in the cellar, lab, or out in the field. Kelly's strong sensory skills and broad knowledge of wine styles have brought Burgess an enhanced focus on objective and precision in our wine-making.

The staff is very rude and in a hurry to get you out and not friendly at all
If you are an older woman (40 up) beware of anything this doctor suggests. Get a second opinion. For some reason unknown to me, this Doctor feels hysterectomies are a given when you reach a certain age. She also does not use up to date technology for the above procedures. If you are at child bearing age be aware you have choices other than a c-section. My daughter and I now use Fort Worth doctors which have been interviewed prior to using their services. FYI just so you are aware, radical hysterectomies remove your ovaries which produce estrogen. You will need hormones to replace what has been removed. Beware any Doctor who desires to take out ovaries and uterus for no other reason except you are aging; especially if they sell hormone replacement therapy. Also beware the doctor who wants to take out any body part which is not medically necessary. Surgery comes with inherent risks. I personally was dismayed with Dr. McBride for the above reasons. My daughter immediately changed to another doctor when she was told by Dr. McBride she rarely did natural births. I and my daughter are very healthy and happy with our new doctors. One other word of caution, never have a procedure if you feel the Doctor is trying to sell you on a surgery. Which doctor McBride did.
We LOVE Dr. McBride. She is seriously the best doctor ever and I highly recommend her. She delivered my daughter and I couldn't be happier. I'm 18 and she specializes in adolescents, she always made me feel comfortable and as reassured me that everything is going to be fine. She always answers every question. I'm honestly going to miss going to her since my daughter has been born lol! But she is the sweetest lady. Love her so much! (:
I have been to Mcbride numerous times with good experiences each time but the last appointment I felt rushed in and out some of my question where left unanswered and I just felt like another number.I understand doctors are busy people but I really like consistency when it comes to my doctors.
Dr. Mcbride was my doctor for my second pregnancy. I'm a nurse and never have I met a more compassionate doctor. No cold bed side manner here. She's wonderful. She gets excited right along with you as your finding out new things about your baby. I had a c section and I was honestly up and cooking and cleaning two days later. This woman knows what she's doing. This truly was her calling!
She has been very compitent in diagnosing, as well as taking the time to explain everything in detail. Great bedside manner and even called me 24 hours post op personally to see how I was, make sure I understood everything discussed in recovery etc. Very impressed with her!
You ask for a caring doctor this is the one to go to she waa great with all appointments telling what I could and couldn't do. What I need to do because being pregnant and all you think you cant do a lot ask her she will tell you. But over all best one ever.
I came to Dr. McBride to talk about having a surgery. I have a tilted uterus and was looking for a surgery to fix it. When i asked her about it she looked at me like i was crazy and told me the surgery did not even exist. After more research not only have i found the surgeries online, but i have found actual patients that have had the surgery!
Dr.mcbride is a very caring woman. Her bedside manor is excellent. I had to have a D and C procedure with her and I can tell you she was like a mom to me the whole time,yet perfessional. I will continue to see her for all my female needs. We are fortunate to have a doctor like this in town.
Dr. Mcbride is one of the best obgyn doctors you will find in the DFW area. She is very professional and polite with the patients. I had a remarkable experience as her patient. SHe treated me as a freiend, always caring about all factors of my health. I am trully pleased with her and I hope she continues to deliver the same caregiving experience I had!!!

Iowa CITY, Iowa - In the spring of 2004, Kirk Ferentz did his best to sell outsiders on there being a quarterback competition. The Iowa coach wanted us to believe Drew Tate, Jason Manson and Matt Bonet were locked up in a fierce battle for No. 1.
It never really was close. Ferentz was trying to motivate through competition, but Tate was far and away the best option. Bonet ended up transferring to a directional Michigan school before the season and Tate led Iowa to what would be its last Big Ten title.
Ferentz returned this spring with a three-man race at signal caller. It had a whole different feel to the one in '04. The competition has been as hotly contested as any in the coach's previous 14 seasons at the school.
The first few years of his regime ran like a fire drill with Scott Mullen, Randy Reiners and Kyle McCann. McCann shared a few reps with Brad Banks in '01. Ricky Stanzi wrestled the job away from Jake Christensen a few games into '08.
Other than that, it's been a pretty stable position under Ferentz. Understudies have taken over for exiting starters.
Ferentz and Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach Greg Davis are presented with a huge decision in August camp. They must figure out if Jake Rudock, Cody Sokol or C.J. Beathard is the right man for the job. They have no game footage to go on because none of them has played a D-I down.
There's a prevailing thought that whomever wins the gig will be better than his predecessor. James Vandenberg leaves Iowa following a season during which he threw seven touchdowns and was the whipping boy for fans and media.
While Vandenberg should share the blame, Davis deserved an equal part of it in his first season with the Hawkeyes. His system failed miserably and dead last in the league.
Rudock, Sokol and Beathard hold an advantage over Vandenberg in that they had a year in Davis' offense before playing on Saturdays. How that edge will translate into on-field success, if at all, is anybody's guess.
The three signal callers showed off for fans and media during two open workouts in the spring. While Rudock looked to be the most consistent and well-rounded of the lot, he didn't display a clear separation from the pack.
Rudock grasped the playbook the best out of the trio. That created the best tempo.
Sokol is the best scrambler of the bunch, allowing him to keep plays alive and a chance to do damage with designed runs. His understanding of the offense and ability to read defenses comes in second behind Rudock.
Beathard features the best arm and he also can move around pretty well. He still is absorbing the system and needs work in reading defenses as evidenced by a lack of crispness when he's running the show.
Again, we only saw two of 15 spring workouts. We didn't watch any of last fall's practices.
Players also mature at different rates. Iowa hopes that all three guys are developing rapidly since spring. Perhaps one is gaining more ground than are the others.
Ferentz has said that Stanzi was behind Christensen and Arvell Nelson throughout 2006. He progressed the next season and was able to overtake Christensen in '08 before winning three bowl games.
It's more likely that one or more of the current quarterbacks could leap forward during the season or after it than before it. The starter in Week 1 might not be there five games in.
Ideally, Ferentz and Davis would love someone to run away from the pack. It's a lot to ask for that to happen in August when it didn't happen in the spring.
My guess is that Rudock opens the season as the starter. His floor is the highest right now even if his ceiling might not be.
On paper, at least, Iowa looks to be strong on the line, running back and tight end. Don't be surprised to see a conservative approach during the first few games while the quarterback acclimates himself.
The Hawkeyes may not need Tate heroics, either. A manager of the offense, like Nathan Chandler in '03, could fit best with this team.
Here are cut-ups from the open spring practices for the three quarterback contenders:

Very large fenced in yard overlooking the lush fields of Morning Glory Farms just .2 miles down the road from their country farm stand. The main house consists of 2 bedrooms, oversized master bath and 1/2 bath, with hardwood floors and bamboo ceilings all newly furnished. The great room emcompasses a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar with Keurig coffee machine, separate eating area and comfy living room with gas fireplace. Both bedrooms and living room have ceiling fans. The house is surrounded by a beautiful farmers porch with all new deck furniture. The oversized two car garage includes a washer and dryer and extra refrigerator. The attached carriage house has 1 large bedroom, full bathroom, roomy living room with sleep sofa and full size kitchen with separate dining area for 4 people, washer/dryer and private deck.Both the living room and bedroom have ceiling fans.

Keywords: Unique, comfortable family home with Farmers Porch.
Martha's Vineyard has so much to offer. It has the calmness of a small island while still offering you lots to do. Great restaurants and beaches and lots of friendly people.
Calm and relaxing environment knowing morer activity is only a few minutes down the road to downtown Edgartown. Relaxing on our back deck, which overlooks the agricultural grounds of Morning Glory Farms. In the morning you can watch the workers picking fresh fruits and vegetables to be sold at the farm stand that day.
We had an amazing time and couldn't have asked for a better house and location. The back deck was our favorite spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine! The view of Morning Glory farm was beautiful. The house was so spacious for me and my sisters (we like to get away from each other from time to time haha). We went to the beach almost everyday, the weather was perfect! We also went into town for some Mad Martha's ice cream and took a sailing trip on the Mad Max! Overall, the house was clean, spacious and very enjoyable for my family and I.
This was the first time in many years we had to rent a house in Edgartown and were pleasantly surprised. The house provided modern amenities, and since it has 2 separate living areas, the young adults had their own space! The wrap around porch and expansive backyard provided the perfect place to relax and play lawn games. We LOVED being able to walk to Morning Glory..nothing beats their zucchini bread! Donna was responsive, very easy to work with and concerned about making sure her tenants are happy...more landlords should follow her example!
We had a a wonderful time vacation. The house had everything we needed and the location was fantastic. A short drive to State Beach and convenient to town. My kids loved riding on the bike path and playing in the back yard. We can't wait to go back again.
We love being so close to the farm; great place for a vacation; owners are very welcoming.
The house was fantastic. It was completely updated, well decorated and provided very nice outdoor space with a spacious wrap around deck and large yard. We had two families and one stayed in the apartment above the garage with the other using the main house. This allowed us to gather together as well as have some separate space. Everything needed was provided and there was easy access to the bike path and bus route.
We had the good fortune of staying at this property, not once but twice this past year. It exceeded all of our expectations! The house itself is comfortable and cozy, yet provided space for two separate families to enjoy private time as well as our group meals and activities. I particularly loved having Morning Glory farm (and their delicious coffee, muffins and organic produce) a short 3 minute walk away... and I also loved being walking distance to Edgartown. The owners keep the house immaculate and stocked with all of the modern-day conveniences. Moreover, the garage was large enough to keep our 4 children (under 6) busy with activity on the one rainy day we had (they rode their bikes aroundin the garage and did loads of arts & crafts projects... I have never seen such an expansive garage!). I am already looking forward to my next stay at this property.

Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
ATLANTA -- For the last few weeks, Atlanta coach Mike Smith has been talking a lot about the "Over Club." That's the small group of veteran players the Falcons turn to for leadership.
On Sunday, we found out who the president of that club is in Atlanta's overtime victory against Tampa Bay.
It's John Abraham.
The 30-year-old defensive end might have been the player most responsible for keeping Atlanta's playoff hopes burning bright. Abraham recorded three sacks and two of them came at crucial times. One came near the end of regulation and helped make sure the Bucs had to settle for a field goal and not score a touchdown.
The other came on the final play of Tampa Bay's possession to start overtime. That helped give the Falcons good field position and helped set up Jason Elam's game-winning field goal.
Abraham, who the Falcons have tried to keep rested by limiting his snaps, now has 15.5 sacks for the season. That's a career best, eclipsing his 13 sacks he had with the New York Jets in 2001.

The harmonics for the clarinet can be taken to be same as that for a tube with only one end open. The relation for harmonics is given by
…… (1)
Here, represents the harmonics, n takes integer values starting from 1, c is the speed of sound in and air in m/s, l is the length of tube in meter.
The fundamental frequency of the clarinet has been given to be 147 Hz. The value of n for this frequency will be 1. The value of c, speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. Putting and the values for n and c in equation (1), we can get the length of tube. Then using equation (1) again, we can find the values of n for which is less than 1350 Hz.
Let us consider an open end tube which has fundamental frequency of 147 Hz. Then the relation for harmonics is given by
Where n takes integer values starting from 1, represents the frequencies, c is the speed of sound and l is the length of tube.

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

Despite all the bad things, this is possibly the worst thing about boxing: The long term damage. Not all fighters suffer this long term damage, but when they do, its a sad thing to see. Vargas pops into mind.

I am assuming he didnt talk like this before as i never heard him talk before. Ive seen him fight before but not talk.
But its not a sad thing about boxing, as its very rare. Most ex great pro boxers ive seen interviewed dont slur, and talk eloquently, as do all pro boxers who are curently fighting.

This isn't very common today with top boxers because top boxers didn't fight that often compared to the olden days where slurring was very common for retired boxers especially losing journey men who had over 100 fights.
I believe Terry speech was slurring do to heavy sparring he would spar 5 days a week even when he had no fight, just like James Toney these guys would spar even when they didn't have a fight. Freddie Roach said too much sparring is where the damage is really done for a lot of these guys, especially when they are cutting weight and don't have enough fluids in the brain. Riddick Bowe slurs bad, even Jeremy Williams has a heavy tongue and sounds punch drunk.
Another guy who slurs like that is Jason Litzau, he gets hit a lot in fights, knocked out and knocked down a lot and also would spar a lot when he was younger.
Most top boxers today who are not brawlers, will not slur unless they spar too much and get hit a lot in sparring on purpose thinking it will help them take a punch better in a fight.

Paul Mallignagi obviously has never sparred in his life, neither has david haye and the klitschos.
But the golden era of boxing SRL took some tough fights as did hagler and they all talk ok. They are a good advert for taking up boxing as there dont seem to be any lasting damage.

For instance, why not read arts and books editor Jim Higgins weekly take on John Updike's short stories. He posts his musings each Wednesday at 8 a.m. at the "Recommended Reading" blog. »Read Full Blog Post

Different designers use different software, and we tend to use the software we're most comfortable with to get the job done. That's why you'll find sometimes you have to open up Photoshop or Illustrator files. But there will also be times when you have to export those formats, so others on the design team can work with them. We're going to take a look at that process in terms of a Photoshop file. Now onscreen here I have a Fireworks PNG file. It's got range of different elements in it. So I've got some text over here in the upper-left corner. I've got a vector logo in the upper- right corner. I have several photographs that all have been masked and have special effects like border and a drop shadow applied to them.
And over here on the right-hand side, I have a blue rectangle sitting underneath one of my photographs. If we take a look over in our Layers panel, you see we've got this structured with layers and elements inside of the layers. So I've got a logo layer. I've got a type layer, and I've also got the finish layer, which has all the different graphics in it. So I'm just going to collapse those down, and we're going to go to File > Save As, and I want to save this not as a Fireworks PNG file this time. I want to save it as a Photoshop file.
Now as soon as I choose Photoshop from the Save copy as list, I get an Option button displaying, giving me options over how I'm going to be exporting this file. I have a few different choices. The default setting is Maintain Editability over Appearance, which means Fireworks is going to try to keep the images editable as possible in terms of layers, vector effects and so on. I have other choices in here too and let's just take a quick look at these. We have the option to Maintain Fireworks Appearance, which means we make it a closure match to what the Fireworks document look like, but it may not be as editable inside of Photoshop.
We've also got an option for a Smaller Photoshop File. That generally means you're going to be flattening some of your elements. And then we also have an option for Custom, and Custom gives you the ability to control each of these four different categories: Objects, Effects, Vectors, and Text. Now again, the default here is trying to keep things as editable as possible, but you can click on these dropdown menus, and you have choices over what you can do. So under Objects, we can convert to Photoshop layers, or we can flatten each fireworks layer.
Under Effects, we can maintain editability, or we can render the effects. Now again, I tend to want to vote for Maintain Editability as much as possible. But if you're finding that the effects you're working with in Fireworks aren't coming across into Photoshop at all, you may want to sacrifice some editability just so you have the effect displaying inside of Photoshop. Maintain Editability of your vectors. So again, we have the choice here of flattening images or raster graphics or keeping them as vectors as much as possible. And then lastly here, maintaining or rendering our text and generally speaking, I think it's a good idea to maintain editability there too, so you can always change things after the fact.
So I'm just going to pop in and switch back to my main default choice of Maintain Editability over Appearance, and we'll click OK, and then we will click Save. I am going to hop over to Photoshop and choose File > Open and inside of my ch2 folder, there's my red_rock_ adventure_collage, and it's about a 9 megabyte file for Photoshop. So I'm going to choose Open. Now, we are getting a little message about the text and just a question of we're going from one software package to another and Adobe is just double checking to make sure that we want update our text layers to make sure that they remain as editable as possible in Photoshop.
So we're just going to say Update, and there is our file. Now, if you take a look over in the Layers panel first, let's see what we've got going on here. There is my logo layer with my logo. There's my type layer with an actual Photoshop type layer, and there's my finished layer with all the original photographs in it. Now let's break down these things a little bit more. I've mentioned to you earlier the logo in fireworks was a vector graphic. Now, this is a pretty complex vector graphic, and it's not supported by Photoshop.
When it's bringing this element in, it actually brings it in as a bitmap image. So just to give you an example, if I scale this, I can see that it's starting to break down. Okay, it's getting fuzzy. So that didn't come in as a vector element, but it did come in, in the right location, as a bitmap. On the other hand, in our type layer, we've got a Red Rock Adventure type, and it actually has been brought in as real text on a path. If I grab my Type tool, I can click inside the text, and I can change the text.
I can edit it and do whatever I want with it. It's completely editable. On the finish layer, where all our photographs are, you'll notice that we've got our images and our masking has all been maintained. As well, we've also got our effects. So we've got a drop shadow and a stroke applied to each of these images. This was applied as a Photoshop live filter inside of Fireworks, so they were brought over quite nicely. Now, what didn't come across was another live filter we applied for adjusting the levels in each of these individual images.
Much like adjustment layers aren't well supported inside of Fireworks, some of the live filters in Fireworks aren't supported inside of Photoshop. And if you want to maintain those kinds of things, you'll need to change your export settings to maintain the Fireworks appearance rather than to maintain the editability. One last little thing down here is that blue rectangle. Now, this is a simple rectangle primitive, and it's been brought across into Photoshop quite nicely. We have our vector mask and our color. So it's been maintained.
It's an editable object, and it's retained as a vector element. So you can see, you do have a fair amount of control and a reasonable degree of fidelity when you're exporting out a Fireworks file as a Photoshop file.

God's Reason for Noah's Flood
by Rod Martin, Jr.
Here's what others have to say…
"I immensely enjoyed the insights about the reasons why God decided to punish mankind for whatever ill befell on it. The insights were refreshing, bringing on some new lights to old concepts and perceptions I held. My students in World Literature will definitely benefit from these new insights, especially those who have begun to entertain doubts about Bible accounts considering that in literature studies these accounts are myths. Your book reinforces the validity function of mythology vis-a-vis earthly phenomena. I believe your book would strengthen their faith as foundation of life in our present world."
Nicolas T. Ampatin

Benedicto College, Mandaue City, Philippines
"Wonderfully written! I am very impressed with the amount of research… with the clarity of articulation… some neat analogies in there, too…. Brilliant!… quite a labor of love."
James Watkins
Author of Jesus in the World: The First 600 Years
"In his book The Bible's Hidden Wisdom, Rod Martin extends the Biblical chronology for the appearance of Adam from a few thousand years to over 10 million years. He thus enters into a realm familiar to me, the realm of forbidden archeology, extreme human antiquity."

- The reasons why ordinary violence could not have been the reason for the Flood.
- The reasons why ordinary wickedness could not have been the reason for the Flood.

Lego 42038 Arctic Truck timelapse assemblyJanuary 14, 2015
I love doing time lapse video and wanted to try something new. This time I did a time lapse assembly of the lego 42038 Arctic Truck. It was a fun build and fun project. I learned a lot from this and already working on my next build.
Flying around the real Jersey ShoreMay 27, 2014
During a surprise visit to my grandmother in Jersey, I took my DJI Phantom Vision 2+ with me. Outside of the annoyance of having to ground ship the batteries I had a good time.
Areas featured: Brick, Point Pleasant Beach, Point Pleasant Boro and Bay Head.
Flying around Golden GateMay 1, 2014
The weather was near perfect. It was sunny, next to no wind and very light haze. It's very rare to experience a day like that. I didn't hesitate leaving work early to bring out my new DJI Phantom Vision 2+.
I previously had a DJI Phantom Vision with a Dronexpert Gimbal. It worked well, but I really wanted the 3 axis. Based on the results of my new video I say it paid off. The PV2+ also provides increased range, which was used in 2 shots of the video. I was able to fly up to 650′ away while still having video. In the past, I had the video start cutting out after 450′. Because I was flying over water most of the day, I really didn't want to do a range test. That will have to wait for another day.
The camera feels very improved. The fisheye is less harsh which leads to higher quality video. I don't want to completely turn off the fisheye, otherwise the video will look too flat. The fisheye adds a nice level of depth. The new fisheye lens also has the advantage that I don't need to fiddle with it as much in post. I only did an analyze color and mild color adjustments. There are a number of areas on the video I felt I could have done better on the color correction, but I am still learning.
imgur 5th birthday partyFebruary 26, 2014
imgur hosted their 5th birthday party in Golden Gate Park. I brought the drone along to video the event. It was rather fun making my entrance by flying the quad in. Only one person knew that I was bringing it and they went nuts trying to find me. I was well hidden on top of the hill.
I still haven't solved the vibration issues with the Dronexpert Gimbal. It's currently raining in San Francisco, and the weather forecast doesn't show that changing anytime soon. So I won't be able to test out some replacement dampers that I purchased.
What cex.io doesn't want you to knowFebruary 15, 2014
2 months ago I decided to finally take a dip into playing around with crypto currencies. It all started with doge coin. I had been following bitcoin for a while with the market ups and downs. From a mining perspective it is impossible to get into.
The problem with bitcoin mining is the level of equipment it takes to be profitable. That awesome high GH/s appliance you bought today is obsolete within a few weeks. That is because the difficulty doubles about every 3 weeks. That also means your returns are cut in half every 3 weeks.
Cex.io advertises a solution to this by providing cloud mining. Instead of worrying about equipment. You are purchasing instant compute.
They also offer the ability to resell that compute when you are done with it. They have an instant market that allows you to sell your compute to other users based on demand and price of the market.
This sounds like an awesome idea right ? It's not, it's a total rip off and you will never back your money back. In fact, it's near impossible to even break even!
Here is how I got screwed over. A friend came over my house to let me know about this awesome idea. He was explaining it like getting interest on money just sitting in your wallet. Exactly like a bank account. Well, sure that makes sense to me. He went on to explain how the cloud mining service cex.io worked and honestly I was very skeptical.
My gut instinct was to not do it. After a few drinks talking about it, I decided to go with it. You know, for science! And also, this was money I mined from a computer sitting at idle. Sure, if you take those dogecoin. Convert it to bitcoin, then determine based on current market rate. The value was $150 USD.
I converted the 100k DOGE to BTC using Cryptsy. After paying the 0.3% cryptsy exchange fee, I was left with 0.1838468 BTC. Transferred it over to cex.io. Watched the graph go down a little more and bought 5 GH/s worth.
Sweet! I am now mining on bitcoin with very little effort and nothing to monitor. Within an hour I had my first reward and reinvested it. I did this a few more times before bed, and when I woke up the next day.
For the next few days I reinvested my earned BTC into GH/s. Very quickly a pattern started to emerge. The price of GHS keeps going lower and lower each day. My initial though was that we were about to switch difficulty and that the prices would need to stabilize shortly after that.
On cex.io they have a graph with the time ranges of 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. I searched and searched but couldn't figure out how to increase the time range more then a month.
I put together a spreadsheet to determine my starting point and my profit even with the price drop. My stomach sunk once I started seeing the values. I am hemorrhaging BTC! I put my GHS up for sale right away at a number I felt would be a reasonable loss and allow me to walk away with most of my shirt.
The next day I noticed the price drop even more. Updated my spreadsheet and realized that overnight I had lost another $10 USD. It's really my fault for not properly researching this before hand. I should have dug into the reviews on them to realize how bad of an idea it was.
It really bothered me, why do they only have 1 month displayed ? Every exchange shows tons of different charts. Even if it only had daily summarized data for values over 1 month. Why doesn't this exist ?
After searching around I found a chart that basically confirmed the reasoning. If anyone saw this graph it would instantly scare them away.
I contacted their support, and after a few emails back and forth it went no were. Here was their first response to me questioning the shady nature of their service
"CEX.IO is an exchange, the price is mostly controlled by the users it is comprised of.
Also, as the price of hardware decreases due to increases in mining difficulty, it works the same for cloud hashing.
However, it still remains that the user base is the biggest contributing factor to prices on the exchange.
Lastly, you are still receiving mining payouts for GH/s in your possession, unlike a typical exchange."
Of course the price is controlled by the users. But cex.io damn well knows that this price will continue to drop. They are the middle man making money by selling you access to hardware that is obsolete within a few weeks.
You are absolutely still receiving mining payout while you GH/s is up for sale. But that is a very misleading statement. First off, you will never sell it back for even close to what you paid. While you wait for this to happen, the amount you are earning will never fill the gap. Every week this gap gets bigger and bigger.
The last straw was when they said they are working on offering the charts for longer periods. Really ? This isn't very complicated, it's maybe a few hours of dev work. As a developer I have to call out this excuse.
Business wise of course they don't want to show you the charts, you wouldn't even consider using the service. And I strongly believe this is a very deceptive business practice.
In the end it was an interesting experiment. It was a strong reminder of just how shady virtual currencies can be. When I finally transferred out, I lost approximately $40 USD. This all happened a few weeks ago. Had I tried to sell it today, I would have been out another $20 USD. In a few days the difficulty will increase again, they the value will plummet some more.
February 11, 2014
I received my Dronexpert Gimbal and this was the maiden flight with it. The video is far smoother then without the gimbal. However, I am noticing a few artifacts and "shimmering effects" from vibrations. I am going to try making some changes to the dampers to see if that improves it.
There was a bit of wind, so you will see that in a bit of yawing.
Thunderhill 2014January 27, 2014
I was invited to fly my drone over a race track on January 17th at Thunderhill in Willows, CA. Most of the video was from the DJI Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter. The remaining ground footage were recorded with a Canon 7D and 70-200m f/2.8 IS.
The video was assembled using FInal Cut Pro X. I still need a lot of practice on color correction. I am not totally happy with the color results, but didn't want to sit on this video for weeks before posting it.

[WCC]Portland followed up on its 4-0 over No. 11 San Diego before a nationally televised audience on Thursday night with a 2-0 victory over longtime WCC nemesis Santa Clara Sunday before a sell-out crowd of 4,892 at Merlo Field.
Just like she did against USD, sophomore Michelle Enyeart had the first goal UP, and Angie Woznukconverted a second-half penalty kick after Enyeart was taken down in the box.
Portland and Santa Clara have won or shared every WCC title in league history and claimed three of the last six national championships, but the Pilots have now won six games in a row -- the last four by shutout -- while the depleted Broncos fell to 3-5-2 in their last 10 matches.
"It was a great day," Portland coach Garrett Smith said after the match. "The sun was out, it was a packed house and two playoff teams battled it out. To get the win and a shutout made it that much better. Both teams seemed a bit fatigued after some hard-fought matches earlier this week, but I think the fans were treated to a good one today."

With the groundbreaking testing of a Laser Weapons System aboard the USS Ponce and the Royal Navy looking to build on this before the end of the decade, directed energy systems have never been closer to becoming integrated as fully operational military systems.
The potential for the capabilities of the armed forces to block enemy electronics and communications, protect convoys in high risk zones, and protect critical land, naval and airborne assets is crucial in preparing for future threats, and is quickly becoming incorporated into the vision of nations with active programmes. Active denial systems and other non-lethal DES applications for police and civil enforcement remains a controversial topic, whilst also seeing vast investment and research in the area.
Challenges surrounding power supply, size and weight remain elemental in the research and development stage, whilst ruggedisation remains a key inhibitor to real-world deployment.
With unrivalled international participation, Directed Energy Systems 2016 is the perfect opportunity for you to engage with the world's premier DES authorities.

I think the second mario galaxy is the better one though.
It's more direct and easier to just pick up and play. (and just as fun)

More of a rant...
More of a rant...
Feb 20, 2006 10:18PM PST
After playing WoW since it went public, and trying to keep thoughts of regret out of my mind because I let my younger brother trade in all my playstation 1/2 games and hardware in for credit towards his Xbox360, it has come to an uneasy boredome during the moments of freetime that come sparingly into my life. Eagerly awaiting the head start access into Dungeons and Dragons Online so my character can kick your character in the nuts is one of the hopeful experiences I'm currently looking forward to. 4 more days. This game really better not suck it up. Into the future I'm looking at PS3...when oh when will you grace us with your presence? The remake of FF7 will be glorious! But alas...CEO's see dollar signs around holidays and big bags of gil around Christmas so I anticipate a late fall '06 release. Yes...we wait... Anyone interested in connecting one digital friend to your otherwise cluttered digital friendlist, you're more than welcome to add me. Especially if you're a cute gamer girl. Hotness!

Money is moving into Latin American technology
ventures in Brazil. But entrepreneurs and their backers still face
considerable odds.
Unbelievable as it may seem, more than a few investors are
willing to bet cold, hard cash on Latin American software
companies. Many entrepreneurs and their backers were mangled
when the Internet boom ended three years ago, so money no
longer flows like water. Nowadays, its back to
basics, says Jonathan Whittle, principal at Darby
