Man, I love Christmas. Giving gifts is where it's at.
I brung my Wii to my mom's house for some video game fun. Here, my cousin is fighting em' up in Wii Boxing:
My older cousin Steven decided to join in on the action:
Even I played my little cousin in boxing and he BEAT ME!
Hey, my little cousin Shelly came into the living room:
Then, they decided on some two-on-two Tony Hawk Downhill Jam action:
Here are some pics of my family and I gambling. It's been a tradition forever, and hey, I came away up $51.75!:
(Above I am on the right side between the two people on the right, and below I am on tthe left side between them two)
Finally, besides $150, three shirts, a wallet, blue jeans, Axe spray, a trimmer set, and shower radio set, I got these two Wii games for Christmas:
And finally a picture of my wife and I (shying away from the camera!):
And my wife getting her Christmas present:
How was everyone's Christmas? Share your thoughts, pictures, and whatnot here. I hope you guys got what you wished for....then again, it's all about spending time together!

Yeah, thankfully. My cousins on my dad's side were doing the same thing on December 23rd. I was definitely scared. I would tell them to use the wrist strap. My oldest cousin was the only one who wore it.Originally Posted by ClawiLewak
That was cool man, everybody looks happy.
Respect everybody else's opinion so they respect yours.
Well, most of the time. During gambling, my uncle and my stepdad got into an argument over the pot. Geesh, it seems like every time we have a get-together, they do that.Originally Posted by VashPR
but thats because they want to win no matter what, they were drinking, or they just don't like each other?

HAMILTON — Township residents can anticipate receiving August property tax bills this week, and will have until Aug. 29 to pay them.
Ordinarily, property tax bills would have been due Aug. 1. But delays in state aid handouts have pushed the date for summer tax bills back nearly a month.
The state delay was mainly caused by a new influx of state aid for public school districts announced earlier this month. The last-minute aid increase delayed county tax rate certifications and tax mailings, according to Hamilton CFO John E. Barrett.
Taxpayers will now have until the end of the township business day on Aug. 29 for their tax payment to reach the township tax collector before any late penalties are assessed. While the new due date is Aug. 29, late payments are subject to late fees stretching back to Aug. 1.
Township officials are also reminding residents they may pay tax and sewer bills online by credit card (which includes a 2.9 percent service fee) or ACH debit or online checking account, which has no service charge.
To learn more, visit the township website, HamiltonNJ.com and click on the "pay taxes online" icon at the right-side of the site.

The National Pro Hillclimb All Star Challenge at Mount Garfield had fans rooting for a record eight Muskegon area riders.
But it was Walter "Tiger" Strank from Johnstown, Pa. who rode his Harley Davidson XR750R up the 346-foot, 55-degree angle hill in 5.247 seconds on the first run of the day. The hill also includes three jumps along the way.
The rest of the afternoon the other 36 riders gave it their all in an attempt to beat that time. It had been 12 years since a Harley Davidson won the event.
"Today is the first time I've ever even sat on the bike," Strank said. The bike was finished just in time for the event.
One local rider from Twin Lake made it to the podium — Sam Hurline, 17, is in his second year riding in the professional circuit.
In the Pro Sport Class, Hurline turned in a time of 6.920 seconds to earn first place in the class on his KTM. The Pro Sport class is a new class to the AMA (American Motorcyclists Association) and requires stock 450cc bikes with the only modifications allowed being an extended swing arm and a paddle tire. Bikes in this class must be aesthetically factory with original decals. Riders in this class can still compete on an amateur level.
"I was nervous," Strank said. "I'm pretty high strung so I like to get in and get it done quickly."
Strank said his Harley runs on 96 percent nitro methane and approximately 1 gallon is required per trip up the hill.
"I love this hill," he said. "There's more traction here than anywhere else. I just have to get past that first jump, it has some real ruts."
He added that he has been hillclimbing since age 4 and has ridden professionally for 10 years.
The 140-pound Strank did not have as much success in the Unlimited Class on his 300-pound Honda CBR 945cc with a fifth place in 5.4070 seconds.
Local rider Paul Kops made the final Top 10 run-off of the All Star Challenge with fourth place in the Extreme Class on his Harley Davidson XR750R. He reached the top in 5.360 seconds. He earned another spot in the run-off in the Unlimited class on his 800cc XR Harley.
Matt Luna, also of Muskegon, finished 10th in the Extreme Class on his GSX 600R with a 7.159-second run.
The lone female professional hill climber at Mount Garfield was Amanda Campbell, 31, of West Virginia in the Pro Sport class on her Honda CRF450R. In her second year as a pro rider, she is the first woman in AMA Pro Hillclimbing to be on the podium with a national title earned her rookie year in 2009. On Campbell's first climb, she flipped over at 73 feet. She got up on her own and walked down the hill to thunderous cheering and support from the spectators.
On her second run, she conquered the hill in 7.985 seconds.
Mount Garfield toppled several riders, with the only notable injury to Anthony DeHart, of Niles. DeHart suffered a broken clavicle and collar bone when he flew over the handle bars halfway up the hill and then tumbled back down.
Another spectacular crash occurred when Gerry Bennett from Columbus, Ohio, soared up the hill in 6.594 seconds on his KTM 920cc V Twin. The newer bike hit a large tree at the top. Bennett emerged from the catch fence at the top of the hill unharmed.
The All Star Challenge hillclimb is run once per season, alternating venues between Muskegon and York, Pa. Climbers in three classes — Pro Sport, Extreme and Unlimited — get two climbs each. The top 10 then have a final runoff in the Extreme and Unlimited classes to improve their times.
The Muskegon Motorcycle Club has hosted the hillclimbs for 88 years at Mount Garfield.

It has a solid plastic handle, not like the soft ones on Starts etc. At the moment they are very stiff but hopefully that will improve with a bit of use. They have probably only had 2hrs use each so far. We have lubricated them with some silicon lube but it has had little effect.
There seems to be mounts for a strap to prevent the dagger from raising too far but it is not supplied with the board. If you raise it too far it hits the mast track peddle usually resulting in a humerous dismount.

Whether it is the house or car of friends or the big vacation the brother-in-law is taking, it how we stand versus others that can play a role in our lives. This tendency is no different at work where we compare our treatment to those of coworkers. If we feel we are getting the shaft, that can lead to problems by us acting in way that will ultimately boomerang. Here is a look at keeping the focus on our goals and not worrying about payback.

Melanie Salazar: Freedom Newspapers
Dovie Marie Littlejohn has been to the Roosevelt County Fair for at least 20 years, making a point to enter something every time.
"One of the reasons I do it is to help," she said. "If no one entered, it wouldn't be much of a fair."
Littlejohn's gardening skills have also earned her some recognition at past fairs, as she usually enters a variety of fruits and vegetables, recently taking home best in show for her grapes. She also shows off her artistic talents in the fair.
"I paint nearly everything," she said. "I like flowers and southwest art a lot."
Although Littlejohn said it may be a little late in the year for her to enter any vegetables, she hopes to get something in to this year's fair.
Her paintings and gardening results make up just a few of the many exhibits that will be on display during the Roosevelt County Fair, set for Wednesday through Saturday at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds.
Keeping the categories full isn't the only reason Littlejohn enters every year. In her 20 or 30 years of participating, she said her favorite moment was when one of her entries took the highest honor.
"My favorite is when I win best of show," she said. "I won one year with my flowers. It was shocking. That's why it was important — because it was a surprise."
Winning best of show also tops Verdena Massey's list of fair memories, which date back through 50 years.
"I like the needlework part — the quilts and crochet and things like that," Massey said. "I've crocheted quite a few doll dresses and gotten a few blue ribbons for those."
Massey, who remembers going to her first fair after getting married 55 years ago, submits something every year, but now gets to enjoy the different categories as a spectator as well.
"My grandkids enter pictures and things in the fair and I like to look a those too," she said, conceding that some of their interest may be inherited.
"I have one little grandson who wanted to enter something because I have entered things before."
Speaking as an experienced fair-goer, Massey said she tells her grandchildren not to get discouraged when they don't win.
"I just tell them not to expect a ribbon every time."
Whether it's entering vegetables, paintings, or simply browsing the different categories, Roosevelt County Fair veterans seem to flock for the same reason — to have a good time.
"It's always a lot of fun," Littlejohn said. "It's a nice fair."
For Massey, the fair is just too fun to stay away.
"I enjoy it a lot and that's the reason I keep coming back," she said. "It's something to look forward to every year."

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Call him Gov. Gumby. That's how New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo jokingly describes his "flexibility" as governor, despite his reputation as a hard-nosed negotiator.
Gumby is the innocent, animated clay character from 1960s television.
The characterization is likely to surprise the few lawmakers who've opposed him and groups he's engaged in tough negotiations, including the powerful state teachers' union.
Cuomo says he was born flexible, like Gumby, and has gotten more so as governor.
He was in a light mood, playing Monday to a supportive crowd of mayors. He also drew on another pop culture reference, using a projected image of his face in an Uncle Sam poster to tell the local officials he wants their help pushing state lawmakers to adopt pension changes in his budget.

MONMOUTH COUNTY — A former partner in a Monmouth County-based insurance brokerage firm was sentenced today to 48 months in prison for his role in a $20 million loan fraud scheme.
Gavin Gatta, 48, of Wayside, Monmouth County, will also be required to pay restitution of at least $22 million, under the sentence imposed by Judge Dennis Cavanaugh in U.S. District Court in Newark. Gatta had previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud.
Gatta was a partner in Smith Gatta Gelok, based in Wall Township, which assisted businesses in purchasing commercial insurance. SGG would also assist them in obtaining financing for the premium.
Gatta admitted that he prepared applications for premium financing for companies that didn't actually need it, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Gatta would submit these fake applications and ask that the loan funds be sent back to Smith Gatta Gelok on behalf of the customer.
Gatta stole more than $20 million with this scheme and used the funds to purchase jewelry and luxury cars, including a Mercedes, a Porsche, an Aston Martin and several Ferraris, according to the U.S. Attorney.

CALEDONIA -- Davenport University women's basketball coach Mark Youngs, who has led the No. 2-ranked Panthers to a 30-2 record entering their NAIA Division II tournament opener, has been named the 2010 Russell Athletic/Women's Basketball Coaches Association Region 4 Coach of the Year.
The Panthers face Tennessee-Wesleyan (17-15) in a first-round matchup at 6:15 p.m. Thursday in Sioux City, Iowa.
Davenport started the season with a two-point loss to current No. 1 team Hastings (Neb.), but then ran off 22 wins in a row, including the program's fourth consecutive Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference regular-season title and the WHAC tournament title.
"I am very honored to receive the award, especially because it is voted on by other coaches from around the region," Youngs said in a press release.

MC students' photos selected in Photographer's Forum magazine contest
March 1, 2013
Contact: Mary Moates, Communications Assistant
865.981.8209; email@example.com
Maryville College students Emily Julian '13 and Erika Collins '14 were accepted as 2013 finalists for photos they submitted to Photographer's Forum magazine's 33rd annual "Best of College and High School Photography" contest. The photos will be included in the hardcover volume of Best of College and High School Photography 2013, which will be published in June.
Julian's photo, "The Price of Education," is a black and white documentary photo that depicts a student riot in Santiago, Chile. According to Julian, young adults were protesting for an improved education system. She said that the protesters wore gas masks to avoid breathing tear gas fumes issued by military forces that were attempting to calm the riot. The photo is a finalist in the competition.
"This photo speaks intensely to me, telling of what this young generation will endure to stand up for their rights and fight for their voice to be heard, no matter what it takes," said Julian, who is from Powell.
"The Price of Education" is Julian's second photograph accepted into the Photographer's Forum competition. In 2012, she was named a finalist for her photo of wildfire smoke billowing from a mountain that was reflected in a lake in South Africa. The photograph was published in the hardcover volume of Best of College and High School Photography 2012.
Collins said that her photograph, "Amy in Profile," was taken for a friend who was participating in a makeup competition. It received an honorable mention in the competition.
"This photo is special to me, since it was taken with a group of friends," said Collins, who is from Knoxville. "I believe that, in portrait photography, you get to know your subject better, and it allows for a personal connection that others who view the photograph will be able to see, too."
Collins said that she considered her acceptance into the competition an honor.
"I believe that when I receive any type of recognition for my work, it reaffirms my field choice and allows me to further define myself as an artist," Collins said. "It also allows me to communicate my abilities to my friends and family who, maybe, are not so familiar with the field of art."
Paula Campbell, adjunct instructor of photography at Maryville College, said that she is proud of her students.
"Having two finalists from Maryville College is fantastic," Campbell said. "Photography is a competitive profession, and these two are preparing themselves well."
According to Campbell, Photographer's Forum's "Best of College and High School Photography" contest has been an ongoing competition since the 1970s. The teams of judges change annually and are consistently chosen from the top ranks of professional photographers and photography educators. This past year, there were over 16,000 international entries and, from those, Julian and Collins were selected.
"The Photographer's Forum is well-known among professionals," Campbell said. "It will be a great citation on the students' resumes, whether for graduate school or career."
For more information on Photographer's Forum, visit www.pfmagazine.com.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation.

"It's like a rollercoaster ride."
Hold on now. Hope was completely distraught and in ridiculous amounts of physical & emotional pain from having lost Zack, seeing Bo & Billie in bed together, and thinking Bo wanted a divorce & didn't love her any more when she slept with Patrick the singular time.
I wouldn't say that Hope sought comfort in someone else's arms as if Hope sleeping with Patrick could, in any way, be compared to EJ sleeping with Abby. And Hope & Patrick didn't "just happen".
ETA: Other differences: Bo/Carly had a relationship before he cheated on Hope with her. Same can be said for Chloe/Philip, Marlena/John, and Belle/Philip. EJ & Abby have no previous relationship from which to resurface feelings.

From uslsoccer.com, the info below describes the 2007 roster and the 2007 uniforms. More detailed info coming soon:
HARRISBURG, PA -- The Harrisburg City Islanders introduced the majority of their roster and unveiled their 2007 uniforms in a press conference on Wednesday morning at the Capital BlueCross Headquarters Building in Harrisburg. Capital BlueCross, a presenting sponsor of the City Islanders, hosted the event for the fourth straight year.
Harrisburg's roster as of Wednesday's event featured 21 players, 11 of whom return from the 2006 squad that finished 8-9-3 and missed qualifying for the USL-2 postseason for the first time in the team's brief history. The returning players are: goalkeepers Sam Bishop and Dave Kern; defender Dustin Bixler, and midfielders Adam Clay, Steve Fisher, Carlos Morales, Chris Morman, Mo Oduor, and David Schofield; and forwards David McClellan, and Matt Tanzini.
The new members of the team are Nate Baker (American), Anthony Calvano (Penn State, Pittsburgh - USL-2), Freddie Chambers (Philadelphia Univ.), Brian Devlin (Penn State, Reading - PDL), Jani Galik (IMG, New England Revolution - MLS), Mike Lookingland (Bucknell, Baltimore Blast - MISL), Matt Nelson (Lynn, Virginia Beach Mariners - USL-1), Ryan Pierce (Binghamton, Cape Cod - PDL), Brian Ombiji (Lindsey Wilson), and Tim Velten (Louisville). Many of the agreed upon contracts are pending USL and USSF final approval.
"This is a new team. If we didn't make changes, then we would be saying that we're OK with last season's results and we're not," said City Islanders Head Coach Bill Becher, the 2005 USL-2 Coach of the Year. "We kept players that have the desire and work rate to produce positive results. We have every reason to be confident heading into the season, but we also recognize that the league will be much more competitive this year than it's been since we joined. We look forward to the challenge."
The City Islanders travel Wednesday afternoon to Washington, D.C. for a preseason match against the D.C. United Reserves and complete their preseason schedule with a mini-tournament at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday April 14. The tournament will include Crystal Palace Baltimore (USL-2), Penn State University, and Towson University. The matches begin at 2:00pm and Parking and Admission are Free.
Players sported the club's 2007 home uniforms, supplied by JAKO USA, Inc., the club's Official Uniform Supplier since its inception. This year's edition features the Capital BlueCross logo prominently across the chest. Aside from the JAKO mark, the corporate images of two other Presenting Sponsors are featured on the jerseys: SNICKERS brand and the Dauphin County Executive Commission on Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco (DCDAT). In addition, the City Islanders unveiled the much anticipated "Pink Jersey" that the team will sport during their May 5 home game. The jerseys will be auctioned following the match with the proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a charitable organization whose goals are to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
"The City Islanders once again thank Capital BlueCross for hosting what has become a great annual event for us," said City Islanders President Eric D. Pettis. "We are proud to officially kick off what should be another exciting summer with this opportunity to introduce our players, unveil our jerseys, and express our appreciation for our family of corporate partners."
"Capital BlueCross is proud to help kick-off a new season for our hometown team," said Anita M. Smith, president & CEO of Capital BlueCross. "The City Islanders are leaders on the field and champions in our communities. We are particularly pleased to be partnering with the Islanders in sponsoring the Mind, Body, Soccer program, which helps to motivate young people in our area to learn more about good health, fitness and nutrition. It is terrific when local heroes like our Islanders help inspire our kids to think about the importance of healthy choices."
Capital BlueCross is also the presenting sponsor of the Mind, Body, Soccer program, an initiative where up to 5,000 local youth can earn a free ticket to a City Islanders home game by completing tasks or assignments based in the categories of Reading, Healthy Living, Fitness and Nutrition. Additionally, Capital BlueCross is a sponsor of the City Islanders Academy program, which is dedicated to improving youth soccer in central Pennsylvania. The program benefits more than 3,000 area youth soccer players by offering them professional training, high-level competition and exposure to other players with similar skill sets.
The City Islanders begin their fourth season of play in the United Soccer Leagues Second Division against the Wilmington Hammerheads on Saturday April 21, 2007 at Skyline Sports Complex on City Island.
Season, group, and single game tickets are on sale now. Tickets are available by calling 717-441-GOAL or online at www.cityislanders.com.
The City Islanders are looking to rebound from a disappointing 2006 campaign which resulted in an 8-9-3 record. The City Islanders play in the United Soccer Leagues Second Division competing against squads in Baltimore (new), Bermuda (new), Charlotte (NC), Cincinnati, Cleveland (new), New Hampshire, Richmond (VA.), Western Mass, and Wilmington (NC).

October 4, the featured title is Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding, the story of shortstop Henry Skrimshander and his college baseball days with the fictional Westish College Harpooners. November 1 is Once Upon a River, by Bonnie Jo Campbell, about Margo Crane, a difficult and willful woman who etches out an existence along the fictitious Stark River near Kalamazoo. December 6 is Jonathan Barrett Watkins's action-packed murder mystery Motor City Shakedown. The group continues to focus on Detroit with John Gallagher's Reimagining Detroit: Opportunities for Redefining an American City January 3 and then heads over the state border February 7 with Sherwood Anderson's short stories of small-town life in Winesburg, Ohio, first published in 1919.
In November, the Main Library also will explore Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday that honors family and friends who have died. Loved ones build altars that celebrate the life and memory of the dead. The day is a time of celebration and joy, filled with talk and memories of those who have died.
On November 1, 4—8 p.m., the public can watch the altars being created. The final altars built by local residents will be on display November 2—4. Every altar is unique and taken together, create a fascinating portrait of what the citizens of Grand Rapids hold close. On November 3 there will be live music, light refreshments, and activities for children.
All the Day of the Dead events are free and open to the public. People who are interested in creating an altar should contact Kate Hawkins at firstname.lastname@example.com
There is always something for everyone at the Grand Rapids Public Library. For more details about upcoming programs, visit www.grpl.org or call 988-5400.

Neville safety Laurence "Hootie" Jones is set to make his college decision Monday at 10 a.m., when he'll choose between LSU and Alabama.
Jones has been courted heavily by both programs for well over a year and is one of the top safety targets on LSU's board.
Trying to get a good read on Jones has been difficult throughout the process, and it remains that way today. One thing that has been easier to gauge is his affinity for Alabama, which is why I have projected him to select the Crimson Tide.
Despite the steady efforts of the LSU staff, Jones appears to be headed east for Tuscaloosa. The race has been very close between the two bitter rivals, but in the end, the Crimson Tide getting commitments from Oauchita Parish wide receiver Cameron Sims and West Monroe tackle Cameron Robinson, two of Jones' good friends, created a surge of momentum for Alabama the Tigers weren't able to match.
Jones is also very fond of the idea of playing for Nick Saban, who also serves as the Tide's defensive backs coach. The Tigers have invested a lot of time in Jones' recruitment and will continue to do so until the final hours. LSU scheduled an in-home visit with Jones on Sunday night prior to his announcement.
Jones plans to enroll in college in January and has sent his application for financial aid to both LSU and Bama, according to sources.
The Tigers hosted Jones on an official visit for their matchup against Texas A&M, and the visit went well by most accounts. Jones spent a lot of time talking with ex-Neville teammate and LSU freshman receiver John Diarse.
Since that visit, the common feeling among most sources is that the Tide was going to land the 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect. In fact, many were starting to believe that a decision had been made weeks ago, but Jones was doing his due diligence before making it official.
Impact for LSU
The Tigers have been preparing for this possibility as they do with nearly every prospect and position group they recruit. They hosted Texas elite safety prospect Jamal Adams this week on an unofficial visit and are awaiting a visit from Mississippi standout safety C.J. Hampton later this week. Losing Jones trims the board a bit at the position, but if the Tigers can land one of their remaining targets, it shouldn't be too big of a hit they can't overcome.
However, missing on the remaining targets would put them in a precarious position. LSU needs another prospect at safety to team with commitments John Battle of Hallandale (Fla.) High School and Devin Voorhies of Wilkinson County High School in Woodville, Miss.
James Smith previously worked as a talent evaluator for Elite Scouting and Max Emfinger and has served on the selection committees of various high school All-American games. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504.826.3405.NOLA.com prep sports coverage on Facebook

BEMUS POINT - Grandmothers are a bastion of knowledge - even when they're gone.
Article Photos
Recently, local intuitive medium Geof Jowett published his book, "What's Cooking in Heaven, Grandma?" To celebrate the occasion, the Bemus Point Library will hold a book signing on Thursday at 7 p.m.
"The purpose of this book is to share the healing and inspirational wisdom of our grandmas, who offer us recipes for a good and happy life from Heaven," said Jowett. "Grandmas help us to believe in our dreams and are our angels on earth and our heavenly angels once they crossover to their rocking chair in Heaven."
As an intuitive medium, Jowett shares his talent to help people reconnect with their grandmothers, recalling the treasured moments shared with grandma and to offer hope for a continuous relationship.
"It is (my) passion to promote the expansion of our consciousness, the continuity of life, the laws of nature, intuition and mediumship, so that we may heal and discover a greater sense of contentment, joy and peace, and perpetuate love," said Jowett in a press release.
According to Jowett's book, grandmothers may choose to offer their wisdom on love and respect of self, relationships, family relations, service to family, personal faith and belief, as well as health and well being.
"The secret recipes that mom keeps hidden in her little tin treasure chest contain a history of love and caring instructions handed down through the ages of time," said Jowett. "Your grandma will offer you nutrition for your heart and spirit - soul food, so to speak."
According to Jowett, as a medium, he has provided thousands of people with the opportunity of communicating with their departed loves ones and Spirit Guides.
"(I) provide detailed, accurate, clear evidential information and inspirational messages from your spirit guides," said Jowett. "It can be a very healing and enlightening experience to have a spiritual reading, so that you might get a better perspective about your life, your soul's purpose, journey, and development, and to maintain your connection to those that have crossed over to the world of spirit.
"Our grandmas deserve a book dedicated to their kindness, compassion, service to family and community - and their eternal wisdom of experiencing life with the heart and seeing the best in us," continued Jowett. "If we saw ourselves through our grandmother's eyes, we would have no worries, no guilt, no faults; we would be creatures that always were aware that we do our best."
Jowett has dedicated his book to grandmothers that have passed: to their eternal beauty and perpetual care.
"(They) allow the hopeful light of God to shine through (themselves)," said Jowett. "We love (them) and know that (they) are eternally our cheerleaders, our friends, and our support and divine love."

Dear Neighbors,
There's some pretty neat stuff going on with this little outfit! We're probably most excited that all four restaurants are really hitting their culinary stride. Honestly, with the Green Valley Grill, Lucky 32 and Print Works Bistro within walking distance of each other, we have a tough time deciding where to dine. We love the grape leaf wrapped salmon at GVG, but the authentic catfish at Lucky's draws us, and the trout with brown butter and lemony crispy bread crumbs at Print Works Bistro often calls our name. We think that the food these fine chefs are putting on the table is extraordinary for the flavor, consistency and the fair prices. (Well, full disclosure, we get a bit of a discount so we particularly like the prices — but we dine out all over and think these restaurants offer a great value.)
We are also pretty psyched that the Proximity Hotel is up and running and stands proudly near its elegant sibling, the O.Henry. The Proximity has received a ton of attention with the national press. See some of it at proximityhotel.com.
Read on and you'll get our take on the joys and benefits of local food and our Sustainable Practices Initiative, Lucky's fresh fruit pie contest and 4th of July shindig, news from all of our restaurants and some good deals at our hotels.
Cheers! Dennis & Nancy King Quaintance

Locavores' Delight!© (Ramblings by Dennis Quaintance)
I do love that line: "Locavores' Delight.©" We might have coined it, but obviously we used The Omnivores Dilemma as our inspiration. Locavore was the 2007 Word of the Year for the Oxford American Dictionary. In our lingo, it means a person who likes to eat food near where it was grown or made. It also describes a movement that "encourages consumers to buy from farmers, farmers' markets or even to grow or pick their own food, arguing that fresh and local ingredients are more nutritious and taste better." We think that these are good ideas. We've long felt that the nearer the farm to the fork, the better the flavor©. Most also say that this local idea is better environmentally because it uses less transportation, and thus energy, to ship the food from further away. We have been playing this Locavore thing big time in our restaurants for years. About six years ago, we went so far as to buy a truck to run around and pick food up from local farmers and markets. But it just didn't make practical sense. It wasn't sustainable from a business perspective. (It ain't sustainable to go broke!) Now we are buying even more local food by using some of our outstanding local friends and vendors like the Goat Lady Dairy, Giacomo's, Red Oak Brewery, Carolina Classic Catfish, Chapel Hill Creamery, North Carolina wineries and a really cool outfit called Eastern Carolina Organics. ECO brings us wonderful local veggies most of the year from a network of farms across North Carolina. We wish that we could buy more things like chicken and beef from local growers. We do buy some, but so far the availability and price still don't make it practical.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The teen who police say robbed a Wyoming pizza delivery driver has rejected a plea offer and will be going to trial three weeks after his co-defendant appears in court.
Wyoming Police say Antonio Vela was 16 when he, along with 20-year-old Paul Garcia, robbed the driver and then stole his car.
The pair confronted the driver at a home in the 3700 block of Raven Avenue SW, not far from 36th Street and Michael Avenue, just after 10 p.m. on March 5, according to police.
The two forced the 18-year-old driver with Happy's Pizza inside the house at gunpoint, demanded money and the food he was set to deliver, police said. The duo then allegedly stole the driver's pickup, a 2000 Dodge Dakota.
Police say Vela and Garcia took the driver's cellular phone and investigators used its GPS tracker to find them at an apartment in the 1900 block of Prairie Parkway SW. It took police about a half-hour to track the two down.
According to court records, Vela confessed to the robbery and named Garcia as his accomplice. Both are also charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
During a hearing in before Judge George Buth in Kent County Circuit Court, the prosecutor's office offered to recommend sentencing guidelines of 81 to 135 months in prison if the defendant pleads guilty as opposed to 108-180 months without the agreement.
The guidelines are for the minimum sentence, it would still be up to the judge to set the maximum.
Through his attorney John Pyrski, Vela turned down the plea deal and faces an Aug. 13 trial.
Garcia is charged as a habitual offender and is housed at the Kent County Jail on a $150,000 bond and is scheduled to go before a jury on Monday.
Vela is charged as an adult but was housed at the juvenile detention center.

When: Tonight through Thursday.
Where: U.S. Cellular Field.
TV/radio: SportsTime Ohio, WTAM AM/1100.
Series: The White Sox lead the Indians this season, 2-0. The White Sox lead, 1,037-993, overall.
Pitching matchups: RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1, 4.50 ERA) vs. LHP Chris Sale (2-1, 3.12) today at 8:10 p.m.; RHP Josh Tomlin (1-2, 5.48) vs. RHP Phil Humber (1-1, 4.66), above, Wednesday at 8:10 p.m.; and RHP Justin Masterson (0-2, 5.40) vs. LHP John Danks (2-3, 6.23) Thursday at 8:10 p.m.
Indians update: Like the White Sox, the Indians have a winning record on the road and a losing one at home. Tomlin and Masterson each lost to Chicago in April. Jimenez made four starts against Chicago last year, going 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA. He walked 10 and allowed 22 hits in 24 2/3 innings.
White Sox update: They beat Boston Sunday to end a five-game losing streak. Pitchers have limited opposition to .216 batting average, best in the AL. A.J. Pierzynski already has two homers against the Tribe this year.
Injuries: Indians — LHP Rafael Perez (left side), CF Grady Sizemore (back) and RHP Carlos Carrasco (right elbow) are on the disabled list. RF Shin-Soo Choo (left hamstring) is day to day. White Sox — RHP Jesse Crain (left oblique) is on the disabled list. Paul Konerko (neck) is day to day.
Next for Indians: Texas arrives at Progressive Field for a three-game series starting Friday.

Indians at White Sox game preview
Help is on the way for the Cleveland Indians' struggling offense.
Johnny Damon will be available to make his Indians debut, while Shin-Soo Choo is expected to return when Cleveland opens a three-game road series against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
Cleveland has struggled badly at the plate over the past seven games, scoring 17 runs in that span while going 3-4. The Indians (11-9) have also gone 11 games without a home run, their longest drought since a 14-game streak from April 10-22, 1983.
That likely caused the Indians to bring up Damon sooner than anticipated. Cleveland signed the 38-year-old to a minor league contract last month and had planned for him to play in some games in the minors before joining the Indians.
Damon, 277 hits shy of 3,000, is expected to split playing time with Shelley Duncan in left field. He hit .261 with 16 homers and 73 RBIs for Tampa Bay last season.
Choo is also expected back after missing five games with a left hamstring injury. Choo, limited to 85 games because of injuries in 2011, is hitting .237 with five doubles and nine RBIs this year.
Cleveland managed a split of its six-game homestand by defeating Los Angeles 4-0 on Sunday. Despite their offensive struggles, the Indians gave up only four runs in taking two of three from the Angels.
The Indians are above .500 because of their play on the road, where they are 7-2 and have averaged 6.0 runs. They'll try to extend that success against the White Sox, who like Cleveland are 4-7 at home.
Chicago (11-11) avoided a four-game sweep by visiting Boston with a 4-1 victory Sunday. After wasting Jake Peavy's complete game in a 1-0 loss Saturday, the White Sox bounced back behind Gavin Floyd, who took a no-hitter into the seventh.
Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the first and Matt Thornton earned his first save with 1 1-3 innings, retiring Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz in the ninth.
Manager Robin Ventura turned to Thornton instead of Hector Santiago, who is 0-1 with an 8.53 ERA and two blown saves. He's allowed four homers in 6 1-3 innings.
Despite Santiago's issues, Ventura still has confidence in the closer.
"It is nothing against Hector, he still will be in there in the ninth, but you're looking at a guy with a body of work against those three guys," Ventura said. "I felt confident leaving Matt in there."
Ventura has good reason to feel confident about Chris Sale (2-1, 3.12 ERA) as well. Sale, in his first year as a starter, went a career-high eight innings at Oakland last Wednesday, allowing two runs in a 5-4, 14-inning loss.
The left-hander also pitched well against the Indians on April 9, allowing one run and three hits in 6 2-3 innings of a 4-2 victory.
He'll be opposed by Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1, 4.50), who surrendered four runs on a pair of homers in six innings of an 8-2 loss to Kansas City last Wednesday.
The right-hander went 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA in four starts against the White Sox last season, pitching at least six innings three times.
This is the first of 10 meetings between the AL Central rivals this month. Chicago won the first two in an abbreviated series in Cleveland in April.

Newbold Hough Trotter1827 - 1898
Born: 1827, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Died: 1898, Atlantic City, New Jersey
Newbold Hough Trotter was a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, taking trips to the West and one expedition to Africa. He was mostly self-taught, but also studied briefly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and The Hague in Holland. Painting both animals and landscapes, the artist worked directly from nature.
During his lifetime, Trotter's work was exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Boston Athenaeum, and the National Academy of Design in New York. Wounded Buffalo Pursued by Prairie Wolves was displayed at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 and was purchased by General William Tecumseh Sherman for the Army headquarters in Washington, D.C. Trotter not only produced artwork for the War Department but also the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Smithsonian, and the Valley National Bank in Arizona. The artist was a member of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia Society of Artists, Art Club of Pennsylvania, and Artists Fund Society.

|Become a BirdLife Preventing Extinctions Programme Supporter
|For information about BirdLife Species Champions and Species Guardians visit the BirdLife Preventing Extinctions Programme.
This species is listed as Critically Endangered owing to an ongoing range contraction caused by excessive predation by introduced mice. Mouse predation has forced this species out of coastal areas into sub-optimal upland habitat and is causing the population to decline. Urgent conservation intervention, which would also benefit the island's breeding seabirds, is needed to reverse this decline.

Damage has been reported in parts of Pickens County after a tornado moved through the area this afternoon.
Trees and power lines have been reported down along Pine Grove Road southwest of Ethelsville, said Pickens County Emergency Management Agency director Ken Gibson.
Damage to at least house and possibly a second was reported to the NWS by a spotter near Ethelsville.
No injuries have been reported so far, Gibson said.
Some trees have fallen across roads near Pickens County Road 75, and crews are responding to that area.
A tornado confirmed by the National Weather Service moved into Pickens County after it killed one person in Mississippi's Kemper County and caused an unknown number of injuries and widespread damage in Kemper and Noxubee counties.
The storm moved from Pickens into Lamar County, and NWS later cancelled a tornado warning for Lamar and Fayette counties.
Some storm damage was reported in Fayette. A tree and power pole were reported down on 7th Street Southeast. Power lines were down along 7th Street Northeast and near Walmart, and a tree fell on a house along County Road 53, the emergency manager reported to the NWS.
All of West Alabama and many of the state's counties are under a tornado watch until 7 p.m.
More information on the damage in Kemper and Noxubee counties.
Updated at 4 p.m. to include information on house damage.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Jiri Hudler has yet to take advantage of the more prominent role he's been given his season -- a spot on the No. 2 scoring line and increased ice time.
But there's no question he has good hands and a dangerous shot. He showed those skills Sunday, scoring a slick goal against Roberto Luongo, one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. It proved to the difference in the Detroit Red Wings' 3-2 victory against the Vancouver Canucks at General Motors Place.
Chris Osgood made 27 saves to raise his record to 5-0 as the Red Wings won their fifth in a row.
The Red Wings scored goals in the final minute of the first and second periods. Protecting a one-goal lead, they held the Canucks to four shots in the third period. Vancouver thought it had tied the game on a goal by Taylor Pyatt with 28 seconds to play, but referee Steve Kozari immediately waved it off.
"(The puck) was between my knees, and you can't shove the goalie into the net with the puck," Osgood said. "It was the right call; it wasn't even close. They got to get over it."
Osgood appeared to be shaken up on the play, as trainer Piet Van Zant was summoned onto the ice. But the veteran goalie admitted it was a ploy to buy some time.
"I thought we needed a break after that barrage," Osgood said.
Hudler snapped a 2-2 tie with 59.6 seconds to play in the second period. He made a nice move to turn Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler inside out and then proceeded to beat Luongo high on the short side with a nifty shot.
"I had speed, their D-man was standing still, trying to play me to the outside, but I made the move," Hudler said. "I saw Luongo go down. My (thought) was to go up with the puck. It was a lucky shot, I guess."
Mikael Samuelsson, who set him up on the play, said, "It was a high-skill goal. He showed what he can do."
Hudler, off to a slow start, has only two goals and one assist, but he said he is not concerned.
"It's a long season," Hudler said. "You don't have to score 20 goals in the first 10 games."
Said coach Mike Babcock: "Huds is a real talented kid, a real dynamic player. You can't just rely on one line to do all your scoring, especially on the road."
Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa picked a terrible time to pinch in, and it cost his team as Samuelsson converted a nice pass from Valtteri Filppula during a two-on-one to give the Red Wings a 2-1 lead with 16.2 seconds to play in the first period. Markus Naslund tied the game in the second, poking the puck free from underneath Osgood, after he had made a spectacular diving stop on Pyatt.
Matt Cooke opened the scoring for Vancouver in the first period by knocking in a rebound of shot by Trevor Linden. Tomas Holmstrom answered 12 seconds later, banging in the rebound of a shot by Pavel Datsyuk. Henrik Zetterberg, the NHL's leading scorer, stretched his points streak to 12 games by assisting on the play.
"We responded whenever they scored a goal," Babcock said. "The game never got away from us."
Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall missed the game because of a sore groin.
Babcock believes he will be ready to play Tuesday in Edmonton. His injury enabled 23-year-old rookie Derek Meech to make his season debut. He was paired with a player nearly twice his age, Chris Chelios.
Babcock is getting tired of seeing phantom goaltender interference calls on Holmstrom.
"You can't just call penalties because the guy's name is Holmstrom. You actually have to see it, and if there's an infraction you got to call it," Babcock said. "The league's got to be cognizant of that as well. There's a big difference between driving to the net and running over a goalie and standing outside of the paint and screening the goalie. One is dangerous and one leads to offense. I think our league's about generating some offense, so I have a bit of a tough time with that one."
Holmstrom has had three goals disallowed this season on plays in which the referee ruled he interfered with the goalie.
"He's doing exactly what he's always done, but there's been a couple of calls they say are infractions that I have a hard time with," Babcock said. " We don't accept penalties. We don't like our players to be undisciplined.
"Homer works really hard at doing it right."
Johan Franzen (sprained knee on Oct. 6) said he will be ready to play Tuesday. If so, the club might place goaltender Dominik Hasek on injured reserve, retroactive to last Wednesday, to make room on the roster. Hasek (irritated hip) didn't practice Sunday, and Babcock said he wasn't sure if the netminder will be on the ice today.
Dallas Drake has been cleared to play, but Babcock elected not to take out Aaron Downey or Matt Ellis, who have given the team a spark.
"Team's playing well, they're just making changes, it's part of the game," Drake said.

Either former U.S. team forward Landon Donovan has a really good sense of humor or EA Sports has some really smart people working for them as the 2014 World Cup begins for the United States in Brazil.
After watching the video above, we've concluded both statements are true: In a commercial released on Monday by the video game company's FIFA channel on YouTube, you'll see why.
Donovan, the Los Angeles Galaxy scorer, poked fun at his absence from the World Cup team after head coach Jurgen Klinsmann left him off the U.S. roster. With the United States team playing its first match of the group stage against Ghana on Monday night, the timing couldn't be better, either.
Click on the video above to see how EA Sports and Donovan reacted to the news he was left off the World Cup roster.

As a public worker, required tax and pension payments are automatically deducted from each of my paychecks. But as an NJCLASS borrower from the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, $500 more go back to the state, from which I just received my paycheck. Unlike federal student loans, there is no public service forgiveness option, there is no income-based repayment option and there is no way to consolidate or lower interest rates on my loan. There is also no way to discharge the loan in bankruptcy, like other debts.
New Jersey has allowed HESAA to turn into what appears to be a private lending institution with very little oversight, as evidenced by its involvement in the Sallie Mae scandal a few years back. With more than $2 billion in loan liabilities outstanding, it's prime for a collapse should the economy take another downturn.
But rather than make it difficult for struggling borrowers and resorting to debt collection, HESAA and the Legislature can make a smart decision by offering the same kinds of programs that the federal government offers for its loans. These programs would alleviate debt on the recently graduated, encourage public service in New Jersey and boost the economy with the money that's no longer tied up in a crushing debt.
I hope that HESAA and the Legislature, as well as the public workers unions, see the benefit to these programs and start the long process to make changes.

Falcons rewrite school track records
"When South Whidbey High School's boys and girls track teams packed their stuff onto the bus to return from the Pasco Invitational Saturday night, they did it knowing that three school records had fallen that day and that one other stands only on the most precipitous footing.Running against more than 60 West Coast high school teams in the biggest and fastest meet of the year - including the state meet - the Falcons made a good accounting for themselves, scoring points in three events and placing about a dozen athletes in the top 10 in events stacked with athletes who might one day compete at the college and even Olympic level.Most successful were the boys and girls distance medley teams and the boys 4x400 team. Both the boys distance medley team of Braden Giswold, Andy Wills, Brett Perkins, and Brandon Bilyeu and the girls medley team of Sara DeGraaf, Lindsey Binford, Julie Gabelein, and Karen Schwager shattered previous school records while running against competition faster than any they will see for the rest of the season. In addition to breaking a record, the boys team's 10:38.67 time was fast enough to earn fifth-place points in the event. Those were the only points the boys team were able to score in the meet.In the 4x400, Andy Wills, Brett Perkins, Braden Giswold, and Brandon Bilyeu ran .04 seconds faster than the previous school record. They are now the fastest 2A 4x400 relay in the state.Wills also threatened to break a record of his own. His 22.8-second, 12th-place run in the 200 dash was just one-tenth of a second shy of John Steiner's school record. Junior Joe Candelario did just as well at twice the distance, running a career best 51.39 the 400, ranking himself as the fourth fastest quarter miler in the 2A division. Also performing well for the boys were Bruce Hymas, who set a season-best in the 3,200, Brett Perkins in the 800, and Braden Giswold, who ran a 4:20 mile split in the 1,600 leg of the distance relay, then ran a 4:29 in the open mile three hours later. His time in the relay is the fastest mile ever run by a South Whidbey boy, but the time does not count in the record books because it was set in a relay. Putting on a show for the girls team was senior Andrea McGillen, who placed and scored in both the long and triple jumps. McGillen's leap of 35-feet, 11.5 inches in the triple was her best of the year and is the longest jump in the 2A division. Her 17-1.5 long jump also ranks her at the top of 2A.Senior Sara DeGraaf set a career mark in the 3,200, running a time of 12:12.0.In the relays, the team also made its mark. The 4x100 team of Dale Bates, Claudia Gil-Osorio, Andrea McGillen, and Melissa Poolman ran fast enough to rank themselves as the second fastest team in the state. In the 4x200, Lindsey Binford, Nicole Mock, Poolman, and Bates were just as fast. Their 1:51.3 is the fourth best 2A time of the season.The team competes next at the Westling Invitational. The meet will be the team's last at home this year and will showcase senior athletes such as the Killer Bs (Braden Giswold, Brett Perkins, and Bruce Hymas), Andrea McGillen, and Sara DeGraaf. The meet starts at noon at Waterman Field. "
