Lonesome Dove Fest has grown from a gathering of dove hunters in a Coy City hay patch to an event recently described as the "South Texas Expo" by former Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Education Coordinator Steve Hall. As many as 8,000 hunters and their families attend the festival – about one hour south of San Antonio – each year to enjoy activities that cater to all wildlife enthusiasts in South Texas.
"The showing of support for this event is to benefit the youth in our area and continues to grow each year," said Charlie Thompson, co-chairman of the festival.
"Not only are people coming to have a good time, but an increasing number of them are asking to donate, sponsor an event or just be part of this effort. Having a family-oriented event with a lot of people working together is what the Lonesome Dove Fest is all about," Thomspon added.
The annual festival that combines education, outdoors activities and entertainment.
In its second year will be the Black Gold Shootout scheduled for Thursday (Sept. 20) beginning at 2:00 p.m. The shootout will consist of a five-member, five-stand clay target competition between representatives of companies related to the oil and gas operations that have moved into the area.
The winning team will earn bragging rights as the "Top Guns" of the county and a traveling trophy, with the friendly challenge providing energy-related companies a chance for some head-to-head match ups while raising a big chunk of cash for the Karnes County Rotary Club charity fund. Some of the uses of these funds have included help to purchase the Jaws of Life equipment for emergency medical service crews; construction of little league fields; and Christmas gifts to needy children.
The fun continues Friday (Sept. 21) with a Youth Day that offers educational mini-seminars on a variety of different topics to more than 300 high school youngsters from area schools. Outdoor skills; game laws and wildlife identification; hunters' education; and shooting safety instruction are just a few of the learning opportunities presented to the students during a variety of open-air seminars conducted by volunteers. Returning again this year for both the Youth Day and the main event will be John Karger of the Last Chance Forever Bird of Prey Conservancy in San Antonio. Karger and his crew conduct hundreds of educational programs each year about the graceful and efficient aerial predators.
Funds from the main events of the Lonesome Dove Fest have allowed the Karnes City Rotary Club to award 12 scholarships to seniors from each of Karnes County's four high schools, including two scholarships specifically dedicated to vocational students.
The public events at the Youth Day will start at 5:00 p.m. Friday (Sept. 21). Food and merchandise vendors from across the area will operate booths and there will also be bounce castles and other kids' events. For the adults, beer and other beverages will be sold under a 14,400 square-foot air-conditioned tent as a DJ and local bands provide musical entertainment.
Saturday (Sept. 22) events start with a Lonesome Dove Fest Parade that will kick off at 10 a.m. in downtown Karnes City. Parade floats, bands and other participants will travel along Calvert Street through the heart of downtown Karnes City, weather permitting. The Lonesome Dove Fest Parade has become a traditional annual event enjoyed by folks of all ages.
One of the main attractions at the festival, a team sporting clays competition, will be held Friday (Sept. 21) from 5:00 p.m. until sundown and again on Saturday (Sept. 22) from noon until sundown. The team shoot provides an opportunity for participants to compete for prizes and bragging rights and, for those interested in hunting, includes a dove hunt with area landowners. A celebrity challenge five-stand clay target event pitting the shooting skills of media members against local and state officials will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 22).
Exhibits will also be on display to entertain the kids on Saturday (Sept. 22). In addition to the Birds of Prey exhibit, this year will feature the "Aussie Kingdom" that includes birds, lizards, wallaroos and wallabies among other native Australian wildlife that is the largest display of its kind in the United States. A&J Snake Handlers will perform shows Saturday (Sept. 22) featuring rattlesnake showdowns between rattlesnakes and their handlers. The annual Stickhorse Rodeo and Kid's Camo Contest will be conducted shortly after noon on the main day of the festival.
Musical entertainment is always a big part of Lonesome Dove Fest. Karnes City's very own Mark Odom, Dirty Texas, Emmerson Biggins and American Idol contestant John Wayne Schulz will provide live musical performances during the festival. Mark Odom and Cactus Country will perform Friday (Sept. 21) at 8:00 p.m. Dirty Texas will perform under the air-conditioned tent Saturday from 11:30 to 2 p.m.while John Wayne Schulz will perform at 9:00 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 22). In addition, country music act Emmerson Biggins will be the opening act for John Wayne Schulz on Saturday (Sept. 22) from 5:00 p.m – 7:00 p.m. Between Emmerson Biggins and John Wayne Schulz's performance, there will be a live auction featuring a variety of sporting goods and other items will be held under the tent at 8:00 p.m.
"This is not just for hunters," Rotarian Randy Witte emphasized, "but for families - for everybody!" Organizers say they rely on some fantastic sponsors to have a festival on this scale. When sponsors come to the grounds and see entire families being entertained, they get very interested. Club members said that any success or growth the event has enjoyed over the years is directly associated with the generosity of these sponsors.
Sponsorships from groups such as L&F Distributing of McAllen; Texas Parks & Wildlife; the San Antonio River Authority; Academy; Cabela's; Blackbrush Energy of San Antonio; Marathon Oil Corp. of Houston; Aggreko Inc. of Corpus Christi; Hilcorp Energy Company of Houston; Lone Star Beer; and Karnes Electric Coop have provided a major boost to the event.
There will be no admission charge for all the public events of the festival, including John Wayne Schulz's performance Saturday night.

Thinking Blue while Dodgers play Red Teams.
That was painful getting swept by the Angels. But at least Sunday, I can see some players getting out of their slump like Manny, Raffy and Loney. Now when Kemp, Ethier and the beared one join in, watch out!
This picture was taken by Dodger photographer Jon SooHoo. Thanks Jon for a wonderful shot!
Weaver had to come and bat against Jerred. Jerred in turn came to face Jeff. Originally they were not supposed to face each other but with Monasterios failing to make it passed the 3rd, inning, in came in Jeff Weaver.
Now the Dodgers are on the road to face the Cincinnatti Reds for three and then is off to Boston! Don't look ahead to the Red Sox boys so play well in Cinci. I'll see you all in Boston! Go Dodgers!
Honduras faces Chile tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM. Buena suerte Hondurenos!
Three more days till my friends and I head to Boston! I talked to Manny Sunday and told him that I hope he plays well in Boston. He said "Si Dios quiere" "Se lo dejo todo a Dios" "God Willing" "I leave everything to God"
Here are our tickets and the Dodgers polo shirt that we got included in the Dodgerslife event.
Think Blue!
Go Dodgers!

Sorry to hear that the Dodgers got swept by the Angels! That's a pretty big rivalry, right? That's so cool that you talked to Manny! That's going to be interesting to see whether we Red Sox fans cheer him or boo him. If I were to go, I'd cheer because of everything he had done for the team; even if the end was bitter. I hope you enjoy yourself, and I can't wait to see all of your pictures!
In response to your question regarding 5 hour energy, it is a drink. It has an orange flavor to it.
The rivalry is more with the Giants but ever since the took the "LOS Angeles" name, the rivalry is more. They are the Orange County Diablos of Anaheim" Yes, it should be very interesting with Manny there. I'll cheer him because I cheer all the players that wear the Dodger uni.
Thanks for the info on the energy bar. Maybe I should get me some to take with me.
Have a great time in Boston, Emma! I'm sure you'll come back with some fun pics.
Yep! I'll be looking for some fun picture opportunity. A bunch of us Dodger fans will meet up at 4:p.m. on Friday for a group picture!
Emma: Whoa….that photo was kind of confusing. But really cool! Have fun in Baaston, and good luck to Andre and the Dodgers!
Gosh Emma! Very interesting photo! And marvelous your Dodgers have got 12 runs off 4 pitchers of Reds! You'd win if you could kindly give a half of these runs to my poor Mariners to help us defeat Cardinals…
Well, Manny doesn't necessarily leave it all to 'god'. Specifically, his odd negotiating tactics (being lazy, aloof, not into it) and his supplemental diet (what were those special shots used for again?). Sorry, but I had to call him out on that one. Have fun and be safe in Boston!
Hey Viriginia,
I love that picture and the field looks like always, sparkling. Thanks Viriginia and good luck to your players.
Nao-san, Ahh your Blue is playing a red team too. Wish I could give you some runs! I so want your team to do well in their division. Kuroda-san pitched great. Surprised that he came back out after that rain delay. He is a warrior.
One thing I can say that is that times I have seen Manny (and I've seen him a few times with the fans) , he is always nice to the fans and has time to stop by sign autographs, pose for pictures and chat.
Not the first time I talk to Manny and he mentions God.
Hey Emma,
Safe travels to Boston! Wish I could be there–I didn't get selected in that ticket lottery. Anyway, I'll look for you on the television. Thanks for the comments. It means a lot to have you reading my blog. Good luck to Honduras!
I know you are heading to beantown soon, and hope the trip is fantastic and that you have a new East Coast friendship with Julia and her band of rebels.
Seriously, I am looking forward to seeing how Manny is going to be recieved by the Red Sox Nation this weekend.
Should be a great series, and I hope you get a chance to have a get a Cuban sandwich outside the stadium from Luis Tiant's cart…..only place you will get a better Cuban is either in Havana, or Tampa Bay.
Have a great flight, and look forward to hearinmg about it all.
Rays Renegade
Honduras lost the first game 1-0. It could have been worst but it also could have been 0-0 as the goal was such bad luck that it hit the defense and it went in. Thanks!
We will be the walking wounded. Billz has been scratched from the rotation. He is day to day, and like Vin Scully said "Aren't we all?" . Rafael Furcal went out on bearevement so he went to D.R.
I am so glad you came here to remind me of those Cuban sandwiches. Luis Tiant cart! I can't forget that! Thanks a bunch!!
Necesariamente mas que eso. Manny back in Boston is going to be spectacular. Can't wait! You have fun and be careful! I love going to Boston. That's a great little town.
Love the comment by Manny…my mom always tells me the same! With God Grace everything is possible. Let's go Blue! And EMMA have fun is Boston!
You're probably in Boston by now, or soon will be, either way or Ethier way, have a great weekend and i hope your guys make the trip a winning one….
Phillies Outside
Hope you are having fun in Boston! I know the Dodgers lost yesterday, but you will bounce back! Enjoy yourself :O)
I too love Manny's comment. Three times I have talked to him and all three times he has been nice to me and to the fans around. He recognized this little kid that has a jersey "Dewce" that sits in the LF pavilion. He is shown on the Diamond Vision dancing" He told him "Oh tu eres el bailarin!" "Oh you are the little dancer!"
We've been losing but what can we do? Those things happen. Let's hope we salvage tomorrow's game.
We lost two games but we have not our spirit! Go Dodgers!
I don't know about you but I loved watching Jeff face Jered and Jered face Jeff. You can really only see that in baseball and in interleague too🙂 It was cute seeing their parents cheer for both of them too.

EpiOcular and HCE Applications
3-D ocular tissue constructs are suitable for materials ranging from very mild to moderate eye irritants.
Test Material Compatibility
The assay is compatible with both water soluble and insoluble formulations. Both solid and liquid test materials can be tested. Since test materials are topically applied, the test system is suitable for creams, pastes, highly viscous materials, and powders.
Alternate Endpoints
For extremely mild formulations, cytokine expression analysis may be included to further evaluate ocular irritation potential. Specialized protocols may be prepared as requested through consultation with the Study Director.
In May 2009, the US EPA launched a pilot program to investigate the use of the EpiOcular assay as part of a tiered strategy for the labeling of cleaning products with anti-microbial claims.

Persimmon Ridge Golf Club
Louisville, Kentucky
August 2 â 5, 2004
FOWLER AND KOTH TIE AT THE TOP WITH MATCHING 2-UNDER-PAR 70s
Akin takes the lead in the Girls Division with a 2-over-par 74
LOUISVILLE, Ky. â On one of the hottest days of the year in the Bluegrass state, Rickie Fowler and Dusty Koth of the Boys Division shot 2-under-par 70s in the first round of the Nike Golf Junior at Louisville. Karisa Akin eased ahead of the competition in the Girls Division and came out on top at 2-over.
The Nike Golf Junior at Louisville is a 54-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association. The event features 81 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-15, from 22 states. The field is composed of eight Kentucky natives.
Fowler, 15, of Murrieta, Calif., found himself tied for the lead in his first AJGA event.
âItâs very exciting to be in the lead,â he said. âI didnât expect much. I just wanted to come out here and have fun.â
Fowler said he got off to a slow start, but came back on the back nine because he started hitting his shots closer and made more putts.
âFor the next two rounds I need to play conservative and play smart,â he said. âIâm looking forward to playing my game, so hopefully Iâll do well.â
Koth, 15, of Bloomington, Ill., said that he got off to a great start at the beginning of his round.
âItâs nice to start off strong,â he said. âThen you donât have to fight to get back to par. It also helps to be leading after the first day because youâre in position for the rest of the rounds.â
Behind Fowler and Koth are Brandon Ellis of Westerville, Ohio, Jace Long of Dixon, Mo., and Tom Hoge of Fargo, N.D., at 1-under-par 71.
Akin, 14, of Elizabethtown, Ky., began her morning hoping to shoot a 2-over-par 74 and happily achieved that goal.
âMy best shot was on my final hole of todayâs round,â she said. âOn No. 18, I hit it to six inches and tapped in for birdie.â
Akin said sheâs looking forward to the second round because she enjoys playing the course.
âFor the rest of the rounds I need to stay solid and consistent,â she said. âItâs a three-day tournament. Anything can happen.â
Following Akin are Eunice Yim of La Canada, Calif., and Jessica Smith of Louisville, Ky., at 5-over-par 77.
Second-round tee times will run from 7 a.m. â 8:57 a.m., Wednesday at Persimmon Ridge Golf Club.

First Win Of The Season!!
Our boys pulled off a great win yesterday. You know that thing I was saying about how opposing pitchers always seem to be on their game when they're against us? Well, turns out I was wrong. Yesterday, there were two guys on the Mariners that didn't have it together at all.
Mat Latos was good in his first start of the spring. He went two innings, allowing one run on one hit with one walk and one strikeout. He was actually really sharp.
So we were down 1-0 when we went into the top of the third. We got like five walks and a few hits to drive in eight runs. Yeah, eight. I was so thrilled. It was so cool to hear the boys really taking advantage of the situation and scoring some runs. That was a very fun inning to listen to.
Speaking of listening, I was sooooo excited when the broadcast started. I was like, I can't believe this is actually happening!!! Oh man. It was so great to hear that first pitch to Everth Cabrera.
Anyways, we did really, really well. I was very pleased with the way we played. Gallagher, Poreda, and Italiano pitched perfectly. I think things are really coming together.
Who I am kidding? It's only the first game of the spring!🙂
Well, the Atheltics played yesterday too, and guess what? Kouz played! He had three ABs but no hits. It's just good that he's playing again. MISS YOU KOUZ!!!
We're playing the Mariners again in about twenty minutes. Jon Garland is going to start!
6 Comments
I was glad to hear Kouz played for us yesterday. To bad he didn't get any hits, but the fact that he played is a step in the right direction. Oh & nice pic of him!
– Opinion4Athletics
Kaybee: Nice start for your Padres! Coudn't have been better. So what if it is early? Progress is progress. I hope Kouz is happy in Oakland!
I like spring training games because every inning can be an adventure, since both teams have players revolving in and out of the game and pitchers are trying out their stuff… no matter it's still better when your team wins…:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
The Glendale facility is close to where the Padres play. We have seen two games but the one with the Cubs at Mesa got rainout. Tomorrow is off to Scottsdale to watch the Giants against the Dodgers, weather permitting.
No worries for me from a 1-3 start to Spring. Things will fall into place for the Padres this spring from their young guys. I am sooo glad baseball has started!!!!!!!!!!
I always tell myself I won't get upset about ST outcomes, but it's still hard not to. I guess it's just my nature to want my team to win!

Call it the "Oscars" of the graphic design world. The Premier Print Awards recognizes the best of the best in the printing industry. And for the first time a Hawaii designer is claiming the prize.
Radford High School graphics design teacher Lane Yokoyama at first thought it was a joke. The email that started with "I hope you are sitting down."
"And I was," said Yokoyama. "I was checking my iPad and I was like, no way!"
This past Thursday, Yokoyama learned two of his students won recognition for their submissions to the Premier Print Awards -- including the highest honor -- a "Benny" as it's known. The first time anyone in Hawaii has won one.
"It's kind of mind boggling because it's like everybody that entered is supposed to be the best. Then the judges look at it and to get the Benny, you're the best of the best," said Yokoyama.
The Best in Category for poster and promotion was created by 18-year-old Tyler Yokoyama.
"I wanted to change it up a bit, do the opposite of doing something formal, so I did something humorous," said Tyler.
Tyler's poster and t-shirt design for the 14th annual James Alegre Invitational Basketball Tournament was selected from more than 2,800 entries worldwide, the judges calling it a piece worthy of the Benny.
Radford's graphic design students have won numerous awards in the past, but this one has special meaning, since Tyler is Lane's son. But the recent Radford graduate has plans other than a career in graphic design.
"I'm going into auto mechanics," said the younger Yokoyama. "It's a passion for me since I was a little kid."
Lane Yokoyama said it's a little heartbreaking that his son is choosing a career away from graphic design, but he hopes all his students graduate with winning skills.
"Hopefully they'll take all these computer skills from this class and no matter which career they go into, they'll be able to use it," said Yokoyama.
The other prestigious Premier Print Award for Certificate of Merit went to Radford graduating senior Joseph Dingal.

IMO Rap died when Slim Shady stopped rapping. I stopped listening to rap for a while but I still listen to slaughter-house here and there. As of right now, I'd say Eminem is ONE of the best rappers.
Dizzy Wright is sick
wayne honestly stopped caring the way he used to. he made it and thats it all rappers stop caring once they make it big and they just make random ass songs and eventually stop making music and appear on rare features like jay z and diddy.
well im probably one of the biggest hip hop fans on the base since its all i listen to but id say wayne wen he dropped the carter 3 was the best rapper alive 1million 5hundred thoudand copies sold in a week... thats unheard of people this incredible feat was repeated when he sold amillion copies again in a week with carter 4 the one thing no one can deny is he has the greatest record sales in recent years the man is a hard worker and has the most known label in the industry young money has the most powerful high selling stars in the game thats facts wayne nicki and drake alone make more money then most rappers will ever see but if your speaking lyrical talent then 09 wayne will take this again currently his lyrics lack the originalty they used to have which made you say DAM hes good but songs lyk sky is the limit and amillie show how versatile he was back then now id say the hottest rapper in the game is 2chainz not lyircally but through his harwork and constant features he is known by everyone if you listen to hip hop and dnt know 2chainz you havent heard current hip hop he is literaaly on every song that comes out but lyrically hes lackluster id give the hottest lyrics and the most hits out right now to drizzy drake when he gets on a song its almost an instant download so right now for me drake takes the title since i cant find a song of his i dont like but in waynes prime he was the best to answer your question
I'll still stick to Eminem being my favorite rapper... even though I hardly listen to the genre I listen to Rock/Metal mostly but even so I've heard some rap "songs" on the radio that disappoint me.

just to name a few. its not dead, it just went underground and on the internet...depends where you live. most of them are touring and stuff but most of them fail to make it to the radio or choose not to. in order to not sell out
thank you.....being a good rapper doesnt mean only talking about meaningful things. When i listen to rap i dont always want to hear about someones life problems.
Dont get me wrong i love drake,j.cole,and nas. they are my favorite rappers.
But sometimes i wanna listen about cars and women,and other stuff rappers get. Besides no one can deny that its a lot funner to rap along with
ll wayne's song than it is with someone like nas
I'm not much of a fan of Lil Wayne.. actually i don't like him at all.. not much of a rap person myself... Eminem is pretty much all the rap I like.. other than that it's metal and rock. :/
Not reading past first post but imo Eminem is the best rapper alive
he was never the best rapper at any point
I agree that lil wayne isnt as good as he used to be, and he's not the best rapper alive but you have to admit that he's one of the best rhymers alive. most rapper use the same words over and over but can still make a great song with those few words, I think that if weezy changed his subject matter and talked about something different then he will be the best rapper alive because his wordplay is good, but subject matter sucks
Wayne is and has been the best rapper alive

had to log in just to +rep you...my thoughts exactly on Lil Wayne you must be in my age group lol
Yall some mutha fu*ckin idiots. Lil Wayne go. All of you that are saying hip hop sucks, ok that's your opinion. You hate rap or hip hop because you don't understand it. It's poetry. I really wish you never would've made this thread.

Lil Wayne was everyones favorite rapper in 2007-2008. He was unmatched in skill. Almost every relevant rapper gave him props and said they acknowledged his skill. If you want proof ill show you. His unreleased music is his best. He has one of the best mixtapes of all time. (Dedication 2) and has released other masterpiece mixtapes like Da Drought 3 and No Ceilings. People who say he sucks and cant rap has never heard his stuff before 2010. He breaks records every year. He has over 1000 recorded songs and over 500 features on other artists songs ranging from Madonna to FalloutBoy to Rick Ross. Only other rapper who has more fans than him is Eminem. He skill dropped dramatically after going to jail but hes still better than most of the rappers these days. If you listen to "conscious rap" like Lupe, Kendrick Lamar, or Common then of course your not gonna like him but he does have some hidden gems . He has the best punchlines ever. "Even deaf *****es say hi to me, she tell a blind ***** and she say 'i gotta see!'" lmao genius . Most of his raps are comedic and clever if you dont just listen to the mainstream bullshit. If you've never heard Da Drought 3, Dedication 2 or Tha Carter II then you gave no right to hate on him . If you did but still say he sucks then your just a bandwagon hater.
wow... never knew lil wayne was this hated lol, i still play his songs till today though i'm not a fan and my brother thinks he's the best and all that.....
His rap content is not that good but i don't care about that as long as his rap still sound good i'll keep playing his music...

No...lil wayne is not the best hip hop artist....nas or 2pac....anyone over wayne
tupac was best rapper.

When Led Zeppelin wrote Stairway to Heaven (which alot of it was "stolen") in 2 hours, that was considered incredibly fast.
To say a entire genre is garbage that is close minded. i would say that hip hop and rap could use more substance as far as the quality of music but thats hard for an artist to do unless he or she is independent and making enough money to be independent cause at the end of the day its about making a better life for you and your family and if that means making some ignorant music then so be it.

Acting on a suggestion from the Rev. Larry McRorey two years ago, the route of this year's march — the 21st annual — begins at the Bee County Courthouse at 10:30 a.m., but goes north on St. Mary's Street to end at the First United Methodist Church, which is hosting the event.
A numerologist would have a heyday with the celebration. This year's march is the 21st annual; it occurs on Jan. 21 — which also is the day the first black U.S. president is inaugurated for his second term.
Organizers of the local march rejected McRorey's initial bid to host the event, because last year was the ceremony's 20th anniversary.
"The subject of the sermon two years ago was 'We Shall Overcome,'" McRorey remembers.
For the Rev. Eric Tarver, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, the traditional host of the annual march, the theme was significant.
"We will never be able to overcome until we break out of the tradition of being at the black church," he said. "We only get together with other churches once a year or when there are tragedies" — referring to a recent ecumenical vigil at First Methodist for those killed in the shooting spree at Newtown, Conn.
Hosting this year's observance, McRorey says, is in keeping with Methodists' tradition. "This was the first church in Beeville to have an inter-cultural minister, the Rev. Freddy Dixon, who was black."
McRorey and Tarver are joined with the Rev. Bettye Whiteside, pastor of Jones Chapel United Methodist Church, in expressing enthusiasm for the switch in venues.
"I'm excited about the idea," she says. "We are all one family. It's time for a change.
The format of this year's ceremony roughly follows that of previous years: numerous ministers marching behind the banner during the march and the presence of numerous politicians, including Bee County Judge David Silva and Beeville Mayor Santiago Martinez.
"If you ever want to meet a politician," Tarver laughs, "come to the annual march."
McRorey says his congregation shares Whiteside's and Tarver's enthusiasm about the change, predicting a more even mixture of cultures at the service.
"I think First United Methodist will bring a new excitement into the march," he predicts.
Noting that the annual march is experiencing a continual decline in participants, Tarver shares the same hope.
"The Martin Luther King march is not just for black people. It's for everyone who believes in unification," he says.
Both McRorey and Tarver say this year's change will spur other Beeville congregations to volunteer to host future ceremonies.
"Hey," McRorey says, "the gospel is about change. The whole life of a Christian is change."

And the winner is...
Sarah-Catherine Phillips Gutierrez
CONGRATULATIONS Sarah! You are our shining star!
All of our finalists' videos were wonderful, but we felt that Sarah's video clearly manifests our goal here at Wigs.com. Our mission is to empower women with confidence by offering the right choice in style and quality. Sarah's video review embraced our mission and brought the beauty of her wig to life.
The Highlights
Sarah took us on a journey wearing Sky by Noriko. Even though she didn't verbally review Sky, she did show us through a slideshow of images, how beautiful and natural this wig is. This video is a perfect example of how a picture really is worth a thousand words! Her video is artistically creative and inspiring. We loved seeing this wig worn in real-life situations, without limitations.
In watching this video, you get to travel with Sarah from Boston all the way to Sudan Africa. Sarah shared with us some of the most important moments in her life, and in every one of them, Sky by Noriko, gave her the confidence she needed. She made it clear that anyone can wear a wig to do just about anything… absolutely anywhere!
Sarah shares her experiences on a 'windy Boston day' (you know there's nothing scarier than your wig flying off), riding a camel in the Sudan – yes, you read correctly a camel (you have to see it!). What Sarah was doing in the middle of the desert we don't know yet, but we hope to find out when we have our first interview with her. In the video Sarah wore Sky while building a house, walking down the aisle, and even Salsa dancing... Arriba!
Thank you Sarah, we thoroughly enjoyed the ride!
At Wigs.com we understand the hesitations with wearing wigs and still maintaining an active lifestyle. We hope Sarah's video proves you're not limited to the things you can accomplish. Watch this video and we're sure you'll be convinced!
We want to take a moment to thank everyone that entered our contest. Even if you only participated by 'liking' and sharing your favorite videos, we're extremely thankful for your time!

Researcher: Pesky Microbe May Have Caused the Biggest Extinction in History
Jason Mick
December 18, 2012 5:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Methane-producing bacteria may have leverage nickel from volcanism to flood the atmosphere with methane
It was called "
The Great Dying
I. A Time of Death and Desolation
If that title sounds dire it is because it was indeed a grim time for life on Earth. Occurring about 252 and one-third million years ago, the mass extinction came at a time when life on Earth had become fairly advanced. Terrestrial life consisted of a rich mix of large amphibians (think huge cousins of today's salamanders) and scaly reptilian dinosaur predecessors. The seas teemed with life.
Then some sort of cataclysm swept the globe. Ninety-six out of every one-hundred marine species (96%) went exinct, while seventy out of every one-hundred terrestrial vertebrate species (70%) also bit the metaphorical dust. The exinction to this day remains the most severe mass extinction in Earth's history and what is believed to be the only mass extinction to feature a major extinction of insects -- traditionally among the Earth's most hardy species.
So what caused this severe event?
[Image Source: Climate Sight]
In line with all the
hype and fervor surrounding global warming
, some past researchers have suggested climate change may have played a role. Criticism of this hypothesis has traditionally been that it's improper to assume the markers of climate change -- atmospheric and ocean carbon levels -- as causing ecological changes, when ecological changes can also
cause climate change
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Professor Daniel Rothman
has become the latest researcher to throw his hat in the paleontological ring, offering up an interesting alternate hypothesis of how such a catastrophic climate change incident may have been triggered, leading to the Earth losing so much biodiversity.
The Great Dying marked the edge of the Permian. Its end ushered in a new era -- the Triassic -- which would become the first of three major historical eras when the land-masses were ruled by large reptiles (dinosaurs).
To look for clues as to what caused The Great Dying, Professor Rothman dug back into sediments from the end of the Permian era. Examing deposits in China, he found something intriguing.
Carbon levels in the sediment indeed appeared to rise quickly. But the interesting part is that they rose so quickly that he feels that the sedimentary analysis rules out change by slower-acting forms of carbon release, such as volcanoes.
He also observed that oceanic nickel levels spiked 251 million years ago, as volcanoes in Siberia dumped tons of molten nickel into the sea.
II. What Caused Carbon Levels to Spike?
Nickel is a ubiquitous catalyst in certain kinds of biochemical reactions. Microorganisms, such as the ocean-based methane-producing bacterium methanosarcina, often use the metal to speed up reactions that produce carbon waste byproducts.
Thus Professor Rothman suggests that methanosarcina likely exploited the rising nickel levels to transform carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane.
In fact, Professor Rothman believes that methanosarcina fortuitously acquired the its triple metal-catalyzed methane-producing metabolic pathways about 251 million years ago, just as the nickel levels spiked.

The loss of atmospheric carbon dioxide would likely have twin adverse impacts -- first as plants require carbon dioxide to produce sugars, there likely would be mass loss of foliage globally; second as methane is a more potent warming gas than carbon dioxide, temperatures likely would have spiked globally.
The researcher's hypothesis was
set forth
on Dec. 4 at
the annual meeting
of the
American Geophysical Union
. The meeting was held in San Francisco, Calif. at the Moscone Convention Center.
If he is correct it suggests that methanosarcina could be the most diabolical murderer in history, by far eclipsing mankind's
worst impact in terms of speciation
Not all experts are convinced. Anthony Cohen, a researcher at the Open University in the United Kingdom, comments, '"[For the hypothesis to be correct] there are a lot of assumptions you have to make."

- Abstract
- We have performed a spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in the nearest giant elliptical NGC 5128 using the 2dF facility at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We obtained integrated optical spectra for a total of 254 GCs, 79 of which are newly confirmed on the basis of their radial velocities and spectra. In addition, we obtained an integrated spectrum of the galaxy starlight along the southern major axis. We derive an empirical metallicity distribution function (MDF) for 207 GCs (~14 per cent of the estimated total GC system) based upon Milky Way GCs. This MDF is multimodal at high statistical significance with peaks at [Z/H] ~ -1.3 and -0.5. A comparison between the GC MDF and that of the stellar halo at 20 kpc (~4Re) reveals close coincidence at the metal-rich ends of the distributions. However, an inner 8-kpc stellar MDF shows a clear excess of metal-rich stars when compared to the GCs. We compare a higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) subsample (147 GCs) with two stellar population models which include non-solar abundance ratio corrections. The vast majority of our sample (~90 per cent) appears old, with ages similar to the Milky Way GC system. There is evidence for a population of intermediate-age (~4-8 Gyr) GCs (≤ 15 per cent of the sample) which are on average more metal-rich than the old GCs. We also identify at least one younger cluster (~1-2 Gyr) in the central regions of the galaxy. Our observations are consistent with a picture where NGC 5128 has undergone at least two mergers and/or interactions involving star formation and limited GC formation since z = 1, however the effect of non-canonical hot stellar populations on the integrated spectra of GCs remains an outstanding uncertainty in our GC age estimates.

These fighter jets have a very distinct roar when they take off.
"It's the sound of freedom," said Lt. Col. Kevin Paetzold.
Hawaii residents could be getting an earful of that freedom. Twelve F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets will be temporarily housed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii to conduct training exercises on the Big Island.
"We have the capability to do air-to-ground missions," said Lt. Col. Paetzold. "We'll be out there dropping smart bombs and guided weapons. We do air-to-air training as well where we simulate as if we are fighting against other aircraft."
Even though these planes will be carrying live rounds, the military assures Hawaii residents they will be safe.
"We took off and head over the water. We proceed to the range and fly into the town and drop in a designated area with our systems and our F/A-18s. They are very precise," said Lt. Col Paetzold.
In addition to training, the 20 pilots as well as 180 other Marines Based in Fort Worth are here to maintain a presence in the Pacific, including any from North Korea.
These fighter jets may look familiar to you. They are the same ones the Blue Angels fly during the Kaneohe Bay Airshow.
The jets will be stationed in Kaneohe for three weeks, which means more noise and air activity for Windward Oahu residents.

"Around lunch time, launch and then at dusk. We are not going to be flying in the morning early. We are going to minimize our impact on the community," said Lt. Col. Paetzold.

Diagnosing the Causes of
Irregular Heart Beats
The body relies on a natural electrical system to create heart muscle contractions, which in turn cause blood to flow in and out of the heart. Normally, electricity flows throughout the heart in a regular pattern. But if a problem occurs along the electrical pathway, the heart rhythm (or beat) can become too slow, too fast or irregular. More than four million Americans have an irregular heartbeat, also known as cardiac arrhythmia.

Cardiac Arrhythmia
Some minor arrhythmias are harmless. Some can be fatal. Some arrhythmia problems contribute to the development of a potentially life-threatening stroke or cardiac death. In fact, there are more than 250,000 sudden cardiac deaths per year, most of which are due to ventricular fibrillation, a serious type of arrhythmia. This is why proper diagnosis and treatment are vital for people with serious arrhythmias. More information about the types of arrhythmia and symptoms can be found here.
Electrophysiology Study
For most patients, arrhythmias are unpredictable and intermittent, which makes diagnosis difficult. In these situations, an electrophysiology (EP) study is the best, most accurate diagnostic tool.
Electrophysiology Lab
Boulder Community Hospital (BCH) has the only dedicated EP program in Boulder County. It is one of Colorado's most sophisticated EP labs with an all-digital biplane cardiac imaging system and a three-dimensional cardiac mapping system. An experienced team of specially trained doctors, nurses and technicians perform all studies and procedures.
The EP study looks at the heart's electrical signals and pinpoints the cause and location of the heart rhythm problem. Performed by certified cardiac specialists, the study diagnoses the arrhythmia and helps identify the best treatment by:
The procedure involves inserting flexible catheters with platinum electrodes on the tips into a patient's veins through a small puncture. These catheters are guided through the veins into the chambers of the heart. The electrodes record the heart's electrical impulses and identify the nature and location of the heart-rhythm problem.
After diagnosis, treatment options are evaluated. Depending on the nature and location of the arrhythmia, treatment may include medication, implanting a defibrillator, surgery or a highly specialized EP procedure.
Electrophysiology Treatment Procedures
Our state-of-the-art lab enables us to provide the following specialized EP treatments:
Watch a video to learn more about these procedures from electrophysiologist Sameer Oza, MD. Dr. Oza is one of a few electrophysiologists in the Denver area to offer ablation therapies for hard-to-treat heart rhythm disturbances such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Arrhythmia Causes and Symptoms
Excessive alcohol use, cigarette smoking, caffeine, stress and intense exercise can produce a minor arrhythmia. But the most common and serious cause of arrhythmia is heart disease, with coronary artery disease, abnormal heart valve function and heart failure among the top triggers.
It is not unusual for an abnormal heart rhythm to go undetected because in some circumstances no symptoms arise. Frequently, a doctor will discover the problem during a routine examination without any patient symptoms. But normally, arrhythmias cause noticeable signs that may include:
Types of Arrhythmias
Common types of arrhythmias include:
Atrial Fibrillation
The heart's two upper chambers (atria) beat chaotically, irregularly and out of coordination with the two lower chambers (ventricles) resulting in an irregular and often rapid heart rate. This is the most common type of arrhythmia with more than two million Americans suffering from the condition.
Although atrial fibrillation usually isn't life-threatening, it can lead to complications such as blood clots that could, in turn, lead to stroke. This arrhythmia requires treatment.
Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia
The atria beat abnormally fast resulting in episodes of rapid heartbeats that begin and end abruptly. This type of arrhythmia can occur without any presence of heart disease and although unpleasant, it is usually not dangerous.
Ectopic Beats
Extra abnormal heartbeats resulting in a disruption in your heat rhythm. Most people with extra heartbeats don't need treatment unless there is underlying heart disease.
Ventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation
An extremely rapid or disorganized heartbeat. In ventricular fibrillation, the heart doesn't pump. This condition can result in death. If left untreated, ventricular tachycardia can progress to ventricular fibrillation.

My dd Olivia is about 6.5 months, and she still nurses at least once, and sometimes twice, during the night. I'm ok with that because I think she is truly hungry, and she goes right back to sleep afterward.
My question though pertains to how my body is adjusting to it. Usually she nurses on the right side during the night if it is only 1 time (we only do 1 side per feeding), and so by the morning I am very full on the left side (which produces more milk as it is). So I guess you could say my left side thinks she is sleeping through the night! I pump that side in the morning and get 6-8 ounces, which is great because I work and I need that milk to get enough for her each day. But, will that side eventually start making less milk if she doesn't eat at night, even though I pump it in the morning? Should I alternate more or is it better to let one side do all the work?
Hope that all makes sense! Thanks in advance for your help!

Twenty years ago, this article would have had a title like "Men's Cooking Guide for Valentine's Day," but in this age of takeout and convenience food, the cooking knowledge gap has narrowed, with almost as many clueless females as males out there.
So, it's a couple of days before Valentine's Day, and your significant other has just announced that their fondest wish is for you to prepare a romantic dinner just for the two of you.
OK, first you'll have to get up off the floor. Kicking your heels and railing at the unfairness of the universe is not going to get the meal on the table. With just a little bit of advance planning and some dead simple cooking, you can produce a meal that will convince your beloved that you are a gourmet cook as well as an incurable romantic.
Your first course is really the make-or-break time. A good one will establish the belief that you are, in fact, a good cook, and cast all succeeding dishes in a favorable light. A poorly executed or bad-tasting one will have your partner dubious about what follows, and thus more apt to find fault.
So, what you want is something classic and identifiable, but with an original twist that will banish any notions that you might have snagged it at a deli and simply repackaged ... something just a little bit exotic, but not so "out there" that it will create discord with the other dishes. I've got just the recipe, and as a special bonus, it can be made the day before and refrigerated. It's actually even better the second day. Just click here for Paulette Mitchell's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe.
You can even feed it to each other on wedges of pita bread if you're into that sort of thing (and you should be).
Now, the soup course can easily be considered optional. And given the type of soup I'm suggesting I'd be perfectly understanding if you chose to skip it. However, never underestimate the romantic appeal of that layer of sinful melted cheese atop ...
French Onion Soup
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 c. thinly sliced yellow onions
3 c. beef broth
2 slices French bread (1 inch thick)
½ c. grated Gruyere cheese, grated
Before you start cooking, head to Pier 1 or your local kitchen shop and procure two soup crocks. Make sure they are oven-safe. Stoneware is best.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sautée until lightly browned.
Combine onions and beef broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat broiler with top rack set far enough down to accommodate soup crocks.
Place one bread slice in each crock. Fill with soup to within ½ inch of the top. Top with generous amounts of cheese. Place crocks on a baking sheet and put under broiler just until cheese is lightly browned on top.
The soup can be made the day before and warmed up before the final step. That way, you'll be just minutes from the finished product.
The fact that you use yellow onions, along with the browning in butter, will kill almost all of the "onion breath" potential. This soup is a decadent classic and will really impress.
Main Dish
This is the one dish you won't be able to make ahead, but it's a very quick one, and the flavor and appearance will be a sure hit.
How do I know? I've used it several times over the years, and it's always been a hit.

- Linguini with clam sauce
- Grilled pepper steak
- Rice
- Turkey noodle soup

- Fried rice
- Cheese tortellini

Calm and clear seas and skies
Same as yesterday
…So there's nothing particularly special about Friday, I just didn't have another title for today's post. Jason is still down on the seafloor, now up around 1700 meters. It's been a fantastic dive so far; this depth range is chock-full of fossil dianthus and big ones too! It's been by far the most successful collection, with over 500 solitaries collected in one quad box (A quad box is simply four milk crates bound together in a square). We're working full-time, and have been cycling elevators for the past few days; tomorrow, both elevators are currently on the floor, and each can hold 2 quad boxes and several nets. We're also hoping to do some photomosaic work using the HD camera of some of the seamount faces and walls we've come across – there are some really fascinating niches down here, so it should prove an interesting form of documentation of the Southern Hills.
So we were given a book of verbal puzzles for Christmas, and are thoroughly stuck on one of them – "The word ADEPT consists of five letters in alphabetical order from left to right. The name of what fabric consists of six letters in alphabetical order?" Free fossil coral to anyone who gives the right answer!

The new Volvo FH
The new Volvo FMX
The new Volvo FM
In a frontal collision the truck will often wedge a car in a deadly trap. To prevent this and to maximise the effect of the car's own crumple zones, Volvo Trucks has developed the Front Underrun Protection System (FUPS).
FUPS is standard on the Volvo FH and Volvo FM models. Using a 200 mm deep crumple zone, penetration into the car's passenger compartment is considerably reduced. FUPS increases the survival rate of the car's passengers. Additionally the truck bumper is located at the same height as that of a typical car bumper, so that the car's deformation zone can be fully utilised.

The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) Alaska Region T/TA Center recently collaborated with ACF Region 10 to present the 2013 Alaska Native Fatherhood Summit. What makes this event different than other fatherhood events is the emphasis on effective traditional and culturally appropriate responses to promote positive Native male role models.
Presenters included successful Alaska Native Fatherhood programs, including staff from Chugachmiut, a past ANA Native American Healthy Marriages Initiative grant recipient.
This one-day event on Jan. 17, (held in conjunction with the Alaska Public Health Association's Health Summit) brought together nearly 100 community-based partners with Tribal and federal programs to provide resources and tools to promote proactive and positive fathering, with a focus on community-based and traditional wisdom.
In the audience were Alaska Health Summit attendees, Tribal Wellness programs, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Child Support Services, Childcare /Head Start, Child Welfare and other Tribal organizations, providers and agencies that serve Alaska Native families.
The Alaska Native Fatherhood Summit allowed existing programs to network and share ideas, and to provide models, resources, and tools that will help other interested providers and agencies to implement fatherhood programs. This effort is part of a broader ANA and ACF effort to provide supports to fathers and families, and contributes to the Health and Human Services Fatherhood Initiative. The broader HHS Initiative has eight components:

The teams: The Green Bay Packers (5-4) vs. the New York Giants (3-6).
The time: 3:25 p.m. CST Sunday.
The place: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.
The TV coverage: FOX – WITI (Ch. 6 in Milwaukee), WMSN (Ch. 47 in Madison) and WLUK (Ch. 11 in Green Bay).
The announcers: Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston in the booth and Tony Siragusa reporting from the sidelines.
The coaches: Green Bay's Mike McCarthy is 85-46 (including 6-4 in the postseason) in his eighth season as the Packers' coach and as an NFL head coach. Tom Coughlin is XX-XX in his 10th season as coach of the Giants and 166-134 (including 12-7 in the playoffs) in his 18th season as an NFL head coach.
The series: The Packers lead the all-time regular-season series, 27-22-2, including a 17-16-2 advantage at New York. The Packers also hold a 4-3 edge in postseason play, even though they lost the last playoff meeting betwee the teams. Although the Packers have won seven of the last 11 meetings, the Giants have won the last two that mattered – a 2012 regular-season victory at MetLife Stadium and an NFC Divisional Playoff game in the 2011 playoffs at Lambeau Field. The Packers did win a 2011 regular-season game at MetLife Stadium during their undefeated start.
The rankings: The Packers' third-ranked offense is No. 6 in rushing and No. 5 in passing. Their 18th-ranked defense is No. 13 against the run and No. 21 against the pass. The Giants' 23rd-ranked offense is No. 29 in rushing and No. 14 in passing. Their 12th-ranked defense is No. 11 against the run and No. 11 against the pass.
The line: The Giants are favored by 4 1/2 points.
The injury report: Packers – Out: CB Casey Hayward (hamstring), QB Aaron Rodgers (collarbone). Doubtful: OLB Nick Perry (foot/ankle). Questionable: T/G Don Barclay (knee), OLB Andy Mulumba (ankle). Probable: DT Johnny Jolly (groin), OLB Mike Neal (abdomen), C Evan Dietrich-Smith (knee), OLB Clay Matthews (thumb), DT Ryan Pickett (knee), CB Sam Shields (hamstring).
Giants – Out: CB Corey Webster (groin/ankle). Questionable: DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder), RB Brandon Jacobs (hamstring/knee). Probable: TE Bear Pascoe (ankle), CB Terrell Thomas (knee).
'Scoots' time: Alex Van Pelt has been there. As Jim Kelly's backup with the Buffalo Bills in the 1990s, Van Pelt remembers what it's like to go from clipboard-holder to signal-caller in a matter of seconds. He remembers it happening "two or three times," and, well, it wasn't always pretty.
"There's a definite curve. You'd like to think you're going to go in and maintain the level of play the starter had usually doesn't happen when you come off the bench," the Packers running backs coach recalled. "You do your best, but with a week of preparation going into the next week you feel more confident in calling plays, getting in and out of the huddle, all of the adjustments, all the routes you've thrown that week. You just feel a lot more comfortable."
That's why Van Pelt liked what he saw from No. 3 quarterback Scott Tolzien against Philadelphia a week ago. Although he threw two costly interceptions, including one in the end zone that took points off the board, Tolzien had command of the huddle and never looked overwhelmed after veteran backup Seneca Wallace, getting his first start in place of an injured Rodgers, went out after the first series. Against Chicago the previous week, the 10-year vet had struggled off the bench.
"I was impressed. I thought he handled himself extremely well, made plays. (He) missed a couple of throws, but if we had a week of practice throwing that throw three or four times, he probably hits it," Van Pelt said. "That's some of the curve I'm talking about. All the reports I got from my guys was very impressive, he took charge, he was a leader, things you expect from a guy coming in off the bench."
Now, Tolzien will make his first NFL start, and unlike the previous week with Wallace, there was a palpable feeling of confidence in the Packers' locker room. Rather than paying lipservice to the idea of the backup QB having their faith, the players seemed to be giving off a genuine vibe of Scott can do this. Or, if you prefer, "Scoots," as Rodgers nicknamed him. ("It's Aaron Rodgers," Tolzien replied when asked how he felt about the nickname. "He's the boss. What am I going to say?")
Tolzien spent extra time throughout the week with quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo, offensive coordinator Tom Clements, Rodgers, and of course McCarthy, who met with him on Tuesday and again on Thursday to talk about play-calls he might prefer.
"He's getting a lot of coaching, I can tell you that," McCarthy joked. "It's time for him to just settle down and go play football. He's a very even-keeled young man, absorbs everything, but I think it's like anything, when your opportunity comes, you need to just play football the way he's always played.
"He just needs to go out and play the quarterback position. We're not worried about him. Everybody needs to go out and do their job and do it at a better level than we did last week. That's our focus."
One way to help Tolzien: A successful running game, which went from dominant against Chicago (29 attempts, 199 total yards) to the opposite (30 carries, 99 yards) against the Eagles.
"Obviously for him to stay ahead of schedule with the chains, keep him out of those situations where he's got to push the ball down the field with third-and-long, keeping an edge in down and distance, having some success in the run game (can help)," Van Pelt said. "He can use the play-action pass game and the fake game to help him, open up guys. We're going at it the same mentality – we want to be effective in the run regardless of who's playing quarterback – but those are some of the areas that might help.
"I just thought we left a lot of yards on the field (against Philadelphia). I thought we ran the ball, and not all of it, but we weren't decisive enough with our cuts and didn't have enough forward lean with our pad level, which we talked about this week. There was definitely more yards out there than we got last Sunday"
Lining up: Another challenge for Tolzien: Possibly more musical chairs on the offensive line, which in consecutive weeks has watched at least one starter head to the sideline and not return. Two weeks ago, right guard T.J. Lang left with a concussion, leaving Wallace to battle the Bears with Barclay at right guard and Marshall Newhouse at right tackle. Against the Eagles, the Packers first lost Dietrich-Smith, which forced Lang to move to center, shifted Barclay again to right guard and brought Newhouse off the bench; then Barclay went down and undrafted rookie free agent Lane Taylor was pressed into service at right guard.

Peace Vodka unveiled
August 17, 2011 —
The Dancing Cat Saloon, located on Route 17B, just a stone's throw from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, has been up and running for more than a year. But the Catskill Distilling side of the business is now offering its first locally distilled product called Peace Vodka.
With the entire operation now open for business, politicians from the Town of Bethel, county officials and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther joined owners Monte Sachs and Stacy Cohen in a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 13.
Mat Miller, who gave a tour of the facility and an explanation of the distillation process, said that vodka can be made out of any grain, but that the Peace Vodka is made from wheat because it is abundant, grown locally, and "it gives us the distinct flavor that we're looking for."
On its website, catskilldistilleryco.com, the company points out that the vodka is made "one small batch at a time in traditional copper pot stills." The site also says that another product, Catskill Mountain White Wheat Whiskey, is coming soon.
Cohen said the day had been a long time in coming, but there has been a lot of local support all along the way.
"It's been like a community project. The community has been with us since day one when they saw us playing with the dirt outside. It's been great."

Conservative Values
Dear Editor:
Did you ever notice when the Republicans–Tea Party people– state their core believes, they say they believe in traditional values, low taxes, and limited government. But they never give details about those core beliefs. So let's try to parse them, break them down a bit with a few questions:
1. Traditional Values:
Should the Government be allowed in your bedroom? (It seems the Republicans want to control women over the use of birth control. By the way abortions are way down because of birth control.)
Should same sex partners be allowed to get married? (The Defense of Marriage Act has been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and many states have approved of same sex marriage.)
2. Low Taxes:
Should the richest people of all time have the lowest effective taxes of all time? (85 people control 50 percent of the world's wealth. The wealthy use tax lawyers and offshore parking of income to keep taxes way below everyday people. Remember Mitt Romney.)
Should America's infrastructure be worse than many third world countries? (The USA ranks 25th in infrastructure as our roads, bridges, airports, parks, schools, etc. are in deplorable shape.)
Should we spend money to cure unemployment? (Structural, long term, unemployment is the highest since the great Depression.)
3. Limited Government:
Should we cut the Government way back? (How so? Is it this 90 percent plus of the government: the military, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the FBI and CIA, National Institute of Health where we should look to cut or eliminate? Consider Medicaid, where a great deal of the costs are to pay for people in nursing homes who have already gone poor spending their assets on their medical care.)
Should we cut Clean Air and Water enforcement? (Tell that to the people of Charleston?)
Should we cut these and many other meaningful programs–such as the Affordable Care Act–of a rich and civilized society? (No, I don't think so.)
I could go on and on as to why I disagree so strongly with the conservatives about our government and the need for a continued progressive approach to our government, which I have served in the military and as an elected official.

We believe that all children – girls and boys - are affected by the 'pinkification' of girlhood. Our aim is to challenge and reverse this growing trend. We also promote media literacy, self-esteem, positive body image and female role models for kids.

We LOVE Sewing Circus at Pinkstinks.
"We use bright, colourful and fun fabrics - designing playwear to be age-appropriate and comfortable. Every print we use is unisex, for both girls and boys. There are no divisions based on gender and we won't tell children what to like based on harmful stereotypes."
Good question … clearly NOT writing blogs!
