SAMSULA, Fla. - Homeowners in Samsula tell Local 6 they're concerned about a proposed asphalt plant that seems to have been put on hold by the developer.
Barcelo Developments must get a "special exception" approved by the Volusia County Council, in order to build an asphalt plant on the plot of land, zoned for agriculture, about a mile from the New Smyrna Speedway.
However, according to Dave Byron, county spokesperson, on Tuesday night, the attorney representing the developer, Nora Miller, sent an email to council members, requesting an "indefinite continuance" or that their application for the special exception be put on hold.
Local 6 tried contacting the attorney, but did not get a response back.
Some residents feel the plant will be coming sooner or later, and they'll fight to protect their neighborhood.
"It's just going to ruin our infrastructure, ruin our property values, and it's just going to turn this place into an industrial park, and we don't want an industrial park," said Donald Smith, a Samsula resident.

Birbal the Wise - IVLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
There was once a blacksmith who used to make spears and shields. He came to Emperor Akbar's court and claimed - "Your Majesty, nobody can make shields and spears like mine. My shields are so strong that nothing can pierce them and my spears are so sharp that there is nothing they cannot pierce."
On hearing this statement, Birbal immediately said, "You lie and I can prove that you are lying." What did he find wrong with the man's statement?
AnswerBirbal told the man - "I can prove you wrong. Let's do a simple test."
The man, supremely confident, agreed.
Birbal said smilingly - "OK, hold up one of your shields and I will pierce it with one of your spears."
The man realized he had been outwitted because both his statements could never be true at the same time. Only one of his statements would hold true under any situation. Shamed to silence, he quietly left the court.

Mimoco classics bring fun and whimsy to your electronic world...
For a great selection of action figures and collectibles, check out BigBadToyStore.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, SmallJoes.com, PastGenerationToys.com, Urban-Collector.com, ZoloWorld.com, MonkeyDepot.com, HobbyLinkJapan.com, and Sekaido.com.
For a great selection of pop culture t-shirts and apparel, check out TShirtGurus.com and 80sTees.com.
Mimoco reminds me just how radical technological times have changed. The company creates designer USB flash drives featuring a variety of in-house created critters and popular licensed characters. The flash drive itself is a remarkable electronic wonder; a portable storage device that has forever altered how we transfer data. But stylish too? Who'd have thought computer peripherals could be so chic.
Called Mimobots, Mimoco's artistic take on technology started five years ago with a handful of original designs. Those classic designs are now back in a new colorway assortment of Gigabyte hungry characters called the Core Series. I have two of these "new" Mimobots to share with you today: RAYD81 (skeleton) & ISADORE (dragon).
As the name "thumbdrive" indicates, each Mimobot measures a mere 2 1/2 inches tall 1" wide and about a half an inch thick. Depending on your storage needs, the devices come in a variety of sizes, including 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB. Their prices flux accordingly, ranging from $24.95 (2GB) to $79.95 (16GB). That's a lot of storage for your buck, especially for something that fits easily in the palm of your hand.
Each Mimobot also comes preloaded with digital "Mimory," a host of extras including a MimoDesk Personalization Suite filled with character specific icons, avatars, wallpapers and screensavers. Depending on how close you are to your Mimobot, it's either fun filler or a quick erase, but I applaud Mimoco for going the extra mile in adding individuality to each design.
What's also neat is when you insert a Mimobot, the USB drive on your computer reads as the character's name. Kind of cool to see "Isadore" listed as my E: drive as opposed to a generic term like "USB Flash Drive". I should mention here that using these is literally a snap: Simply pop off the Mimobots head (sounds horrible, doesn't it?) and insert the device in a spare USB port. Every computer has one these days and the Mimobots work on both PC and Mac. When inserted, a light on the character's "butt" glows when in use. When not in use, the head pop backs on with a solid "click," insuring it won't be slidding off anytime soon. These are very well made, durable flash drives.
Mimobots are available at select retail stores, but you'll find them easier at Mimoco.com. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, but the irresistible charm of the Core Series characters is hard to resist. Isadore and RayD81 have the distinct honor of being among the first designer USB flash drives Mimoco released. Their fun and whimsy marked the dawn of a new technological era: the day computer electronics stopped being boring.

There are some updates troubleshooting some issues people had while implementing some of the actions in this post within the comments.
Google+ is here to stay, the launch of Google's "Search+ your World" feature now means it is critical to make sure that as a marketer you are using Google+ to share your and other people's content and grow your network with their service.
If you haven't already started to use Google's new social media service then below is a link to video from Rand Fishkin, the founder of SEOMoz, who explains the importance of utilising Google+ quite eloquently:
I'm sure if you are anything like me being active on yet another Social Media platform is something you just don't have a lot of time to do. So this blog post is just to show you a few quick tools you can use to update your other Social Media services notably Twitter, Facebook and WordPress from your Google+ account.
Using IFTTT and RSS Feeds
IFTTT, If This Then That, is a great tool to automate your life on the internet. I mentioned it in my previous Social Media automation blog post and more features are being added every single day to the service. By reusing some of the recipes I have created you can easily post to your all your social media accounts from Google+.
The first recipe to use is Google Plus RSS Feed to Twitter this allows you to automatically post to your Twitter account when your Google Plus is updated. There maybe a slight delay between the two as Google are still only allowing developers to use RSS and haven't released an API for developers yet. Simply authorise IFTTT to post to your Twitter account and follow the simple instructions.
The next recipe you need to setup is Google Plus to Facebook this does a very similar thing to the Twitter recipe above, simply authorise IFTTT to post to your Facebook wall and add your Google Plus RSS Feed too.
Using an Email from Google+ to Update a WordPress Blog
OK this is slightly more technical than just using IFTTT but if you can setup a POP3 email account then you should be able to do this.
- Firstly you want to create a unique email address, something like [email protected] it needs to be an email address no one will be able to guess. I don't recommend using a free service such as Gmail or Yahoo.
- Now login to WordPress and scroll down to your Settings > Writing and fill in the name of the mail server and port number your web hosting provider uses.
- Next, enter the login name and password for your new e-mail account and select the default category that your Google Plus emails will be posted to.
- Now you need to add the following HTML into your WordPress theme footer:
<iframe src="http://yourblogdomain/wordpressinstalldir/wp-mail.php" name="mailiframe" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title=""></iframe>
- Finally go to Google+ and create a new Circle. You can call it blog, WordPress, or whatever you want. Go to add the email address that you just created and tied to your blog, to the new circle.
- Now when ever you want to share a Google+ post on your blog, just add your new "blog" circle to the list of users you are sharing with. Make sure that "Also email 1 person not yet using Google+" is checked, and hit Share.
If you get stuck with syncing your email to your blog follow these more detailed instructions by WordPress
There's an App for That
Finally, if you are out and about and want to post to Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus simultaneously there is an iPhone app that will allow you to do so. iStatus+ is a great little app that any social media junkie would be happy to have in their toolkit. It's as simple as adding all your account information into the app and off you go. For a bargain basement price of 69p ($0.99) then you can't go wrong.
I hope that's helped you keep on top of updating all of your social media profiles, please leave your comments below if you have any more great tips.

Rectal cancer is a frequent but curable malignancy in the Western world. The golden standard in treating these patients consists of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by extensive surgery regardless of tumor response. The main question is whether extensive surgery can be avoided holding in mind that already a significant amount of patients reach a pathological complete response after radiochemotherapy. The goal of this study is dual. First of all, the investigators want to investigate the value of DW-MRI and 18FDG-PET in the assessment of response after neoadjuvant CRT in 100 patients with rectal cancer, to select those patients eligible for less invasive surgery. In the same patient group, the investigators will examine the biomarker potential of molecular characteristics of the tumor in blood and tissue. Using both molecular and radiological findings, the investigators want to predict pathological response after chemoradiotherapy and to select patients who may benefit from treatment adjustments during chemoradiotherapy.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - After law enforcement officials say the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings shot and killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer as he sat in his patrol car Thursday night, colleges and universities in northeast Florida are taking a look at campus safety.
The University of North Florida and Flagler College are just two area campuses reminding their officers to be aware.
"It could be anybody. And that's how scary it is," Flagler College student Emi Stephens said. "I'm kind of scared of the dark, so I never really go out in the dark now, but even more so walking back and forth from work and things like that. I've been very careful about doing things like that, make sure I'm with some one."
Student Luke Zerra says the shooting hasn't changed how he feels on the open campus.
"I feel pretty secure on campus," he said. "We have the blue lights that you can hit to get help immediately, and there's a police officer on campus here."
St. Augustine police work with campus security, and there is an officer on duty every day from 5:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., the window of time when the shooting occurred at MIT.
St. Augustine police spokesman Mark Samson says even though officers are alone, backup is never far away.
"They're right downtown, so our officers who are on patrol are on the same channels, frequencies, things like that, so they have communication with the officers that are working the downtown area, too," Samson said.
At UNF, police say the shooting has meant a heightened awareness among the department's 29 officers.
"We've talked to our officers about that, being aware of what's going on and who's around, and we're always looking for those problems and try to address them as they come up," said Lt. Mike Gwynes, of the UNF Police Department.
Those at Flagler College and UNF say they'll wait for details on the MIT officer's killing and reexamine their own policies to see if there are ways they can improve.

JAMES Norwood has finally signed a new extension at Forest Green after protracted contract talks finally came to fruition.
Fans' favourite Norwood, 22, agreed fresh terms with boss David Hockaday at the New Lawn this afternoon, Monday and is set to remain at the Blue Square Premier promotion-chasing club until the end of the 2014/15 season.
Agent speculation linked the former Exeter City speedster to League One sides Swindon, Preston and Doncaster tracking his form during the January transfer window, while Forest Green also dismissed an offer from fellow Blue Square Bet Premier side Luton Town last month.
Rovers manager David Hockaday said: "We've been talking to James for many months and we are delighted he's put pen to paper and is contracted for another two-and-a half years.
"James loves it here at Forest Green and always has. It fits him well and as in any good relationship, we're good for him and he's good for us – plus the fans love him.
"The challenge now is for him to keep on scoring goals and help us gain promotion.
"We have a young talented group of players that are all committed to the future of Forest Green Rovers."
Norwood joined Forest Green permanently in June 2011 for his second spell with the club after a previous loan spell in the 2010-11 season.
He also spent time in his youth with Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion.
He failed to sign a professional deal with either club and as a teenager attending St Bede's College in his native Sussex turned out for Isthmian League side Eastbourne Town where his superb goal scoring abilities captured the eye of Football League side Exeter City who snapped him up in July 2009.
He made his Exeter debut as a second half substitute on the opening day of the 2009-10 season as a 18 year- old in front of just under 30,000 fans at Leeds United's Elland Road and then joined Sutton United in a short- term loan move.
He has also represented the England Schools under- 18s squad, scoring against France at Wembley Stadium in a 4-2 defeat.

"Unless the weather pattern changes in the near future, we expect to see more issues with fish kills as August rolls in," said TPWD Inland Fisheries biologist Tom Hungerford. A fish kill has been reported recently at Kimzey Park in Colleyville, which is likely attributable to a combination of low oxygen as well as a blue-green algae bloom. Blue-green algae produce toxins which can kill fish. Also, an ongoing fish kill is occurring at Lake Ray Hubbard involving blue and channel catfish and freshwater drum. "Monday, July 25, we estimated 2,071 dead fish based on three transect counts between the dam and IH-30," said Melissa Dudley, a Kills and Spills biologist with TPWD. Low oxygen is suspected but the investigation is ongoing. Water is a very interesting medium: As the temperature increases, the solubility of gases (specifically oxygen) decreases. With this in mind, fish are more likely to die of low oxygen stress when water temperatures are elevated because less dissolved oxygen is held in warm water and the fish's metabolic requirements for oxygen are increased as temperature increases. With record high low temperatures coming in recent weeks, surface water temperatures are reaching new heights. Small ponds are getting into the mid-90s while larger reservoirs are pushing 90 degrees. Also, the drought is lowering lake levels. Without sufficient rainfall, boating access may become impacted by low water. Boaters and anglers are urged to use caution when on the water. Stay hydrated, wear a PFD at all times and carry a cell phone in case of an emergency. -30-

A YOUNG Leominster sailor was humbled to play his part at the UK's commemoration service to mark the start of the First World War.
Able Seaman Ryan Davis was selected from the ship's company of HMS Duncan, to take part in the memorial service at Glasgow Cathedral as a step-liner at the cathedral entrance.
The service was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony in George Square in the heart of the city, attended by His Royal Highness The Duke of Rothesay, as The Prince of Wales is known in Scotland.
He was joined by leaders from across the Commonwealth, including Prime Minister David Cameron.
Working as a warfare specialist, the 22-year-old former Minster College pupil joined HMS Duncan in December 2013 and is responsible for operating the ship's electronic sensors.
"Taking part in this ceremony in Glasgow is a proud moment," said Mr Davis.
"It is very important to me that I have been able to make even this small tribute in memory of all those who fought for our country.
"And, with the fourth HMS Duncan part of the Royal Navy's fleet in 1914, it is particularly poignant for us all on board the current HMS Duncan."
Joining the Royal Navy in March 2013, HMS Duncan is Ryan's first ship and he has already visited Norway and Belfast.
There have been seven Royal Navy ships named Duncan, including one which served throughout the First World War, giving this service special significance for the whole crew of the current HMS Duncan, which returned to Glasgow – the city in which she was built – for the occasion.

Last time around, the revision was killed over concerns by prosecutors in the state that it was too soft on crime. This time, the reform has the backing of state associations of judges, prosecutors and public defenders. The chief justice of the Indiana Supreme Court has even weighed in.
The major impetus for reform was the need to reduce prison overcrowding – if the state doesn't, a court might end up ordering it to. Sponsors of the bill say the changes would postpone the need for a new prison by at least 10 years.
But the revision would also make it more likely that the punishment fits the crime in Indiana – without getting soft on the worst offenders. Things would get tougher for them, in fact.
There would be six felony categories instead of four, for one thing, so more proportionality could be built into sentencing. And inmates would have to serve at least 75 percent of their sentences instead of being able to get out halfway through, as they can now.
At the other end of the spectrum, drug addicts and other low-level offenders could get into local community corrections programs instead of getting shipped off to prison. Treatment would be offered when appropriate, and there would be strict supervision.
If the bill is approved, this will be the first major revision of the criminal code since 1977. That's far too long not to have examined our criminal justice priorities. There may be flaws in this approach – the bill is more than 400 pages long – but it is a sincere and thorough effort to address the issue.
The proposal follows the recommendations of the bipartisan Criminal Code Evaluation Committee, which spent five years putting its report together.
It's hard to imagine a better goal for reform. Beginning criminals get a chance to turn around instead of learning more from hardened criminals. If they choose not to, there is a greater certainty they will serve more of their time. And in the process, money will be saved and prison expansion avoided.
Take a bow, Gov. Daniels, and others can take a lesson: Don't give up on something just because it doesn't go through the first time.

text: Movies and music mix well for W.Va. Symphony By David Williams February 9, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Music makes movies work. Imagine the opening of Spielberg's "Jaws" with the music from "Beaches," instead of John Williams' menacing shark rumble and thump. Not quite so scary is it?The West Virginia Symphony wanted to do a best of movies' music for its pops series, so it let the audience vote on the compositions in categories ranging from drama to science fiction to comedy to fantasy to Westerns. Starting Friday night at the Clay Center (and continuing tonight), it revealed the winners in concert.So as not to play spoiler, I'll keep to the performers and the composers (so you can guess which John Williams scores are in play). Some clues might hint at the film.Conductor Grant Cooper had the orchestra tautly in rhythm in a John Williams march to open the program. Williams, whose 81st birthday was Friday, is a master of rhythmic tension fused with bass lines that build expectation. Cooper made that stand out while the orchestra's trumpets played with verve. The horns showed precise intonation in the second section's slithering harmonic shifts, something the film's main character would not like.Concertmaster Amelia Chan played with tender warmth in an extended solo from one of Williams' great dramatic scores. A duo of alto flutes played with dark sweetness on the bridge.I have never felt that Vangelis' electronic music translated well to orchestra. The main problem is that it seems to run on and on without much variation. But the more sprint-like version that the symphony performed was concise and surprisingly colorful.The only real disappointment of the concert was music by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer. The original film score is so incredibly messy and over the top with electronic drums laid onto the orchestra sound in post-production that an orchestra can't render the visceral energy of it. But Cooper's conducting had the benefit of cleaning it all up, which helped clarify the lines and textures. But, save for a brilliant little cello solo by Andrea Di Gregorio and some splashing accents and twisting lines in the main theme, maybe there isn't a whole lot there.Music from the early days of film made it into the show, although sadly no Korngold. Max Steiner's most famous piece was there, with beautiful work by the strings and horns and some subtle percussion playing. Not bad for music written for a detective thriller and borrowed for something else.One thinks of Williams as a composer of big themes and big moments, but Cooper chose a cue called "Out to Sea and the Shark Cage Fugue" to represent the movie "Jaws." The beginning segment featured excellent solo work by piccoloist Pamela Murchison, hornist Marsha Palmer, trumpeter David Porter and trombonist Chris Dearth. The fugue was a wonder of ferocious low strings and piano that swelled into an orchestral feeding frenzy.Howard Shore's musical fantasy had too many themes compressed into too short a period to be satisfying, but the orchestra played with élan and soprano Mariel van Dalsum sang with lovely effect on the song of fellowship that ended the piece.The music of Westerns was represented by a score by Dimitri Tiomkin. The music was clocklike in its precision but the sound has the gleam of modernism, more the steel and glass of a 1950's Chicago office building than the dusty streets of Shiloh. Wonderful, though.The concert ended with some Mancini comedy and more John Williams.It repeats tonight at 8 at the Clay Center.

MASISON HEIGHTS, Mich. - Hungry Howie's Pizza, based in Madison Heights, is ready for the Super Bowl. The pizza chain will be running special TV ads here in Michigan just before the opening kickoff and before the start of the halftime show. Watch: 2012 Coca Cola Super Bowl ad
The humorous commercial was prepared by local production team and filmed here in metro Detroit.
Hungry Howie's marketing chief Jeff Rinke likes it that way.
"Our ad agency is Michigan-based and we thought keeping the talent local was a great way to keep it all Michigan," Rinke said.
The commercials were filmed in the Steelcase showroom of NBS Commercial Interiors.
NBS director of operations Ed Kleiss was happy to cooperate.
"Bring it on. They are a great customer. We've known them for years and we are glad to have them," Kleiss said.
Hungry Howie's has 500 outlets nationwide, but is only the tenth largest U.S. pizza chain. Still, Jeff Rinke dreams of a day when the chain will have a nationwide Super Bowl ad.
"Oh, I'm hoping there will be a national spot in the future. We're poised for growth," Rinke said.
The future holds more innovation from Hungry Howie's, which features flavored crusts. Customers will soon be able to select pizza crusts with the flavors of cheese puffs, barbecue chips and everything bagel.

if we could lay out each frame sequentially (vertically in the post) and write the explanation of what is happening, why it is happening and when it is happening...i.e. the conceptual ideas Leopard, JHern, JR and the others are trying to convey it might be easier to understand
plus rather than a hand drawn diagram that has it's limits we can actually see and understand the process in relation to a Pro's throw
e.g. a frame of Avery with the disc at the right pec but with an explanation of what happened to get it there and what happens next and the timing of same
it could be done from reach back to follow through...probably quite a few frames mind you
hopefully I am being clear
EDIT: the explanation of the mechanics and concepts would be next to each frame so we get the explanation and picture in a vertical sequence

Redisculous wrote:SkaBob wrote:holy wrist roll, batman!

Interesting you should point that out. I know a guy that can throw in the upper 400' range and once he tried explaining me how he snapped his wrist and what he showed/described was really a massive wrist roll, the disc held vertically, then snapping it to horizontal at the last minute. Aaron_D throws similarly (at least he used to), I think it may be to get the disc closer to the chest too.

Animix wrote:One of the more exaggerated throwers with that style is Timmy Gill... take a look
JHern wrote:Two facts:
Fact 1: 300 ft is about as far as most men can throw using primarily the strength of their arm to propel the disc. For women it is closer to 230 ft.
Fact 2: The fact that you get the same distance no matter how you do your step implies that you aren't getting anything out of your legs, which drive your torso, which is the platform for your shoulders...
The sum:
Fact 1 + Fact 2 = You're strong-arming, throwing with your arm, and you're not getting much of anything from your torso and shoulders.
Your arm is of order 10X less powerful than your legs/torso. Stop throwing with your arm! Your arm is only useful for positioning and gripping, other than that, it is purely passive. Your arm needs to be turned into a whip that is driven by the powerful motion of your legs/hips/torso/shoulders.
Here's an exercise I might suggest:
Stand still with your arms at your side, completely relaxed. Turn your hips and torso back slowly and then rotate your hips quickly to the open position. Your arms should be whipped out and around in a windmill motion, without you using a single muscle in your arms. That's the feeling you should be aiming for.
Next do the same thing, except extend your throwing elbow out sideways from your body and hold it there (as if you put a vice around your shoulder). Allow your lower throwing arm and hand to hang limp from your elbow. Do it as if your arm were asleep and some mechanical device was locked onto your shoulder to keep the elbow pointed out side ways from your torso. Don't allow your elbow to move forward or backward, nor up nor down. It is completely locked in place, as if you no longer even had a shoulder joint and your upper arm were fused into your shoulder so that it would always point out sideways.
Now slowly turn your hips and torso back, and turn them abruptly open again. Don't use a single muscle in your arm! Now you should find that you've turned your arm into a whip. Your lower arm should be whipping forward super-fast. In fact, you can whip your lower arm forward way faster in this manner than your arm muscles could ever dream of doing. Your arm muscle strength decreases rapidly as speed increases, so they are useless anyways...trying to use them will only slow down this motion. You'll find that whipping your lower arm forward in this manner, with the elbow "stopped," will feel relatively effortless in comparison to trying to throw with your arm as you've probably been doing before.
Practice getting this feeling for a while. (Later you can work on the grip and positioning in finer detail, but for now focus on using your legs/hips/torso/shoulders as the powerful motor for whipping your arm forward.)

There is no safe level of exposure to lead. Children are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can cause serious health problems including anemia, kidney damage, and brain damage.
Lead poisoning has declined in the United States over the past couple of decades due to efforts to reduce lead contamination, prevent exposure, and improve awareness of the danger. Still, close to half a million children test positively for lead poisoning each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Here's what you need to know to help protect your family.
How lead gets into a child's body
Kids are exposed to lead by inhaling lead dust, eating soil or paint chips that contain lead, and drinking contaminated water. Lead is not easily absorbed through the skin.
Tap water – which may be used to make formula and for cooking – can be a source of lead, especially in older homes. You can't see, smell, or taste the lead, and boiling the water won't eliminate it.
Even children who don't chew on paint chips can get lead into their system if there's lead-based paint in or around their home or another building they spend time in: Doors and window frames covered with lead paint release tiny particles of lead dust into the air every time they're opened or closed.
Kids may breathe in this lead dust or pick it up on their hands when it settles on floors and furniture. Once the lead dust is on their hands, it's a quick trip to their mouth when they lick their fingers or eat with their hands.
Pregnant women with elevated levels of lead in their blood can transfer lead to their unborn baby.

Bleached brows are definitely a trendy thing, but not having eyebrows on purpose is a totally different story than losing them altogether. Thinned-out brows can completely wash you out and appear to change the shape of your face, so filling them in with an eyeshadow that's a shade or two lighter than your natural brow color is a key trick to learn. I've found that some women can get a bit heavy-handed using a brow pencil, and the results can look severe. Instead, use an angled brush—making sure to keep within the natural line of your brows—and lightly smudge the powder in.

One of the things that can make you look the sickest—in my opinion—while going through cancer treatment is the absence of eyelashes. The difference this lack of definition around the eyes can make is pretty jarring, but luckily there are plenty of ways to fake fuller-looking lashes. I used a fine eyeliner brush and a dark gel liner to coat the inner rim of my upper lash line, which creates the illusion of lush lashes. Make sure to fill in the gaps between the lashes that you do have very well!

Dr. Honeycutt and her staff are a health care team concerned with educating their patients and their families and sharing information with them. Our goal is to establish a successful and comfortable relationship with our patients, starting with their initial phone call to our office. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, make comments, and express their concerns. When the patient books a consultation, an office brochure with information specific to their procedure is mailed out to them so they can come to their visit prepared with additional questions. They are encouraged to bring along a family member or friend if they wish, as a good support system makes a big difference in the patient's recovery and psychological well being. Initial consultation generally lasts from one to two hours, depending on the procedure the patient is considering. Dr. Honeycutt and her registered nurses spend time discussing all aspects of the procedure, including pre-operative requirements, the procedure itself, and post-operative recovery. Pre-operative and post-operative photos of previous patients who have consented to use of their photos are reviewed. Once Dr. Honeycutt is certain that the patient is fully informed and prepared for surgery, has realistic expectations regarding the outcome, and is comfortable and confident with her and her staff, the patient may proceed with scheduling their surgery.
Dr. Honeycutt performs cosmetic surgery in our two story ambulatory surgery center which as been accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities. This offers a quality environment for patient care, ensuring confidentiality, convenience and safety. The same staff members you come to know and trust during your office visit will help care for you during your procedure.
Dr. Honeycutt also has operating privileges at St. Alexius Medical Center.

Stanley Churchwell was jailed Tuesday for theft, just 17 days after he got out of jail for another theft.
Police say the three men were trying to sell the axles for cash at North Platte Metals.
Police became aware of the situation around 3:30 p.m. Friday, when an officer went to East Sixth in investigate the reported theft.
The victim said someone stole three car axles from his property sometime during the past three days, but he didnt know who. The stolen axles were estimated to be worth $1,300, Police Information Officer Rodney Brown said.
On Saturday, an officer went to North Platte Metals after learning that Jeffrey Golden, 48, was at the salvage yard with the axles. The owner was called and identified the axles.
The officer then discovered another victim who had two bumpers and a grill plate stolen about the same time from a home in the 700 block of E. Third, Brown said. The bumpers and grill plate, valued at an estimated $300, were on the same trailer Golden used to haul the stolen axles.
Golden was arrested for two counts of theft by unlawful taking. The value of the axles made that a felony and he was charged with a misdemeanor for the bumpers and grill.
An accomplice, Julian Daily, 39, was arrested for aiding consummation of a felony (theft) as well as misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking, Brown said.
Police also believe Churchwell helped steal the axles, and he was collared Tuesday.
Churchwell was arrested in late September, when residents of the 700 block of North Bryan called police to report people carting off pickup loads of items from a home and yard there.
Police found Churchwell driving the loaded pickup. At the time, police said several pickup loads of stolen items were recovered with a total value of $615.
Churchwell did 135 days in jail. He was released Feb. 11.
Churchwell has a lenghty history of crimes. He has been arrested in Lincoln County seven times since 2006, and was arrested twice in other counties too, according to Lincoln County Sheriffs records.

I had no problem with the interview. I hated the way he taunted Crabtree by trying to shake his hand and pat him on the butt.
If your going to do that, do it all the time. If you lose, talk trash and taunt. But Sherman doesnt. he disappears if they lose
If I was a fan would I prefer a player say we are a good team, our guys played well, etc. But I have no problem with the interview.
I agree the racial stuff was stupid. I guess in short I was it was less me first, but such is life

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After 16 years in business, Sun Kissed Tanning, a tanning salon in Long Beach, N.Y., officially closed this past April because it couldn't come up with the investment needed to rebuild following Hurricane Sandy.
For months, owner Allie Cohen posted optimistic comments on the tanning salon's Facebook page, with all signs pointing toward a re-opening. But Cohen was waiting on insurance money to come through - a Small Business Administration loan and for new tanning beds to be delivered.
Finally on April 5, 2013, she called it quits on Facebook. It was a heart-wrenching decision.
"I am very sad to say that after over 16 years in business, Sun Kissed will not be able to reopen. The salon took a beating from Sandy... ALL tanning beds, sunless tanning and other electrical equipment were trashed... Unfortunately nothing at ALL was covered by insurance. The investment to complete the rebuild, purchase ALL the new tanning equipment and utilities is far too high for me to accomplish. The SBA loan has been dragging me along and still not in my hands. I always took pride in the homey, comfy environment in Sun Kissed. My staff has been amazing and like family to me. ... This is a very sad situation and I feel sorry for all my beautiful clients who have been loyal and waiting for me. I thank you all very dearly for making Sun Kissed a success. Wishing you all the best from the bottom of my heart. XOXO Allie"
Sun Kissed Tanning's story is one that's heard throughout the seaside towns across New York, New Jersey and elsewhere after being pummeled last October by Superstorm Sandy, the media's nickname for the late-season hurricane. Sandy's wrath was particularly destructive because the hurricane merged with another winter storm and happened during a full moon when tides are already higher, turning it into a megastorm that affected the entire eastern seaboard before making landfall near Atlantic City, N.J.
There is a terrible reality that oftentimes comes with being a small-business owner. Sandy reinforced the notion that owning a business is a risk. Everyone has heard stories like Sun Kissed Tanning's -- business owners who couldn't afford to rebuild on their own, but getting a grant funded by the government, financing (if they could even take on more debt) or an insurance company to cover their losses hasn't exactly worked out.

Just about one year later, the businesses that TheStreet spoke with have had varying experiences with rebuilding. On the bright side, lessons have been learned and some are coming back with brighter outlooks and a renewed sense of enthusiasm for their businesses. Others have reservations and wonder whether their businesses will ever be able to regain the same traction as before the storm.
Long Beach, N.Y.
Dr. Sean Pastuch, a chiropractor, and his business partner Mike Abgarian were forced to close their original CrossFit location in Long Beach, N.Y., after the establishment suffered a "complete loss," when water, sewage and fuel rushed into the gym during the storm.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Deputies are asking for the public's help in identifying two people who approached a woman while she was jogging Tuesday in Kissimmee.
On Tuesday, Osceola County Sheriff's deputies say they responded to the incident at 3809 Golden Knot Drive.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the woman who indicated she was jogging on Bellalago Drive South when two Hispanic males approached her in a dark blue pickup truck.
Deputies said the passenger exited the vehicle and chased the woman.
The woman described one of the men as a Hispanic male, approximately 5-foot 7-inches to 5-foot 11-inches with a medium build. The man has dark hair and dark eyes, and was wearing a long-sleeve tan or brown shirt with dark pants and a green or yellow reflective vest.
The driver of the pickup truck was described by the woman as a Hispanic male with very dark skin, a slender face and dark hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Osceola County Sheriff's Office at 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
Deputies say calls made to Crimeline remain anonymous, and tips that lead to the felony arrest of suspects and/or the recovery of stolen property and drugs are eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000 dollars.

Maybe they can lend a few to us
The seppos have too many nukes.
On Wednesday, May 16, just days before the leaders of NATO countries meet in Chicago to discuss the future of the military alliance, retired Gen. James Cartwright, former head of U.S. nuclear forces, dropped his own bomb: a report arguing that the United States could reduce the number of nuclear weapons it deploys by two-thirds and the number of warheads it keeps in reserve by nearly 90 percent. Calls for lower numbers are not new, certainly not from groups dedicated to nuclear disarmament like the one Cartwright worked with — and not even among former heads of Strategic Command.
New Zealand needs a nuclear deterrent mainly to piss off the Greens.

Question: What does a Massachusetts construction company have to do with the Broward County Sheriff's race?
Answer: Cash, lots of cash.
Sheriff's race challenger Scott Israel's campaign was revived a couple weeks ago by a huge cash infusion -- more than $200,000 -- that went into a negative ad campaign aimed at Sheriff Al Lamberti.
Now to the labyrinthine money trail. The ads were paid for by a PAC called Florida Citizens United, which itself was funded with $225,000 on October 22 by another PAC called Citizens United for Reform. That second PAC had been bankrolled at that time by a company called The Middlesex Corporation out of Littleton, Mass.
Middlesex is run by a man named Robert Pereira, who also gave money to third PAC that contributed to the second PAC (keeping up so far?). I have no idea what Middlesex and Pereira have to do with Israel and the sheriff's race -- and talking with the candidate himself was no help.
"I don't know where the money is coming from," Israel told me.
Wow, roughly a quarter mil dropped in his lap and he doesn't know who did him the favor? There are a lot of rumors that a former New Jersey sheriff named Jerry Speziale, who now holds the No. 2 position at the New York City Port Authority Police Department, had a hand in all this. When I asked Israel if Speziale -- a Democratic powerbroker -- was behind the money, he hesitated a couple of times before saying: "The answer is I don't know and if I did know I wouldn't tell you. I know Jerry Speziale and our relationship is just friends."
Interesting mystery. Will update when more info comes in.

'Game of Thrones' Season 3 Featurette: The Game's Been Upped — VIDEO
Fans of HBO's Game of Thrones have waited a long, long time for winter to arrive, y'all. And finally, it feels like it's almost here. Just prior to tonight's season finale of Boardwalk Empire, HBO gave fans of the television adaptation of the George R. R. Martin novels of the same name. And if you thought last season was epic, it looks like fans are in for a treat in the scale alone of the production, even if this video continues the don't-really-give-them-much vagueness of all the other marketing materials for the upcoming third season. C'mon, HBO! We're dying here: give us something!
The locations both old and new, are the biggest highlight of this featurette—showing the cast in Iceland, Northern Ireland, Dubrovnik, and Morocco. "This is the season Dan [Weiss] and I have been most anticipating from the very beginning," explains executive producer and writer, David Benioff. For fans of the novels, this season is based significantly off the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Storm of Swords, and will continue to explore The War of the Five Kings. Including interviews with Richard Madden, Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, and Peter Dinklage, the video is mostly an ode to those that make the show happen off the screen: namely, the costume and location crews, who surely have no small task in bringing such an epic production to life.
"The game's been upped; there's so much more danger, so much more risk," says Clarke. And, well, we all know that a Khaleesi is never wrong. Check out the video, below:

A MAN who 'drifted' into cannabis use when depression hit over the hair-loss condition alopecia ended up running a street-level dealing operation from his home, a court heard.
Kamran Javed, 27, who had never been in trouble with the law before, had cannabis with a street value of almost £3,000, and more than £3,600 in cash 'strewn around' in a locked bedroom when police raided his house in Burnley, in May.
The town's crown court was told how factory worker Javed was said to have become isolated, and depressed, because of the alopecia. He started to use cannabis, but become more and more isolated, and used more drugs. After his arrest, Javed, said to have started selling cannabis after buying it in bulk, had taken steps to kick his habit.
The defendant, of Abel Street, admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply. He will face a proceeds of crime hearing at a later date. He was spared jail and was sentenced to nine months in prison, suspended for 18 months, with 12 months' supervision and a 12-week curfew.
Javed's barrister said "He has made very determined efforts to change his lifestyle and he has succeeded."

Sorry if this has been mentioned before and sorry for posting this because it is really a very minor annoyance:
Right-clicking a folder (in Side Bar) and selecting a 'Find in Folder' while having the search already open (but for example, having the wrong "location" [folder]...) hides the search area. The expected result in my case would be that it would change the search location to the folder I'm clicking. Toggling/hiding could occur if you try to search from the folder you are already searching from (= same search settings). It makes sense (sort of) when you try to do it with just one folder (keeps toggling it), it's a PITA when you switch between two folders.

p.s Lovely app, but the price is a bit steep for now. Maybe if it had search & replace from project/folder and UI for changing/viewing different encodings and so on ...

AP Top 25: Ducks fly to No. 16
Duke is No. 1 in The Associated Press' college basketball poll after dropping from the top spot for one week.
The Blue Devils, who fell to No. 3 last week, took advantage of losses by Louisville and Indiana to move back to No. 1, their fifth week on top this season. Duke received 39 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday.
Michigan, which jumped from fifth to second, had 11 No. 1 votes. Kansas, which had seven first-place votes, and Syracuse, which knocked Louisville out of No. 1, tied for third. Syracuse received eight No. 1 votes.
Louisville dropped to fifth and was followed by Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Butler and Gonzaga.
Wichita State, Cincinnati, Mississippi and Miami moved into the rankings this week, replacing San Diego State, Illinois, UCLA and Marquette.
Pac-12 Conference leading Oregon (15-2, 5-0) jumped up from No. 21 to No. 16 and the Ducks are also in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 19. Oregon hosts WSU this Wednesday night, then UW on Saturday.

Urban Meyer coached a decent football player and a better leader in Tim Tebow at Florida. Meyer has a better player at Ohio State in quarterback Braxton Miller, and has wanted all along for Miller, a surefire preseason Heisman candidate, to take control of the team.
This spring, Miller has apparently done just that.
"He has done a much better job as far as communication with players and being a leader," Meyer said during the Big Ten coaches spring teleconference Thursday.
Before, if practice started at 3 p.m., Miller would hit the field at precisely 2:59 p.m. after getting taped up. Now, Meyer said, "he's one of the first guys out there…We've asked him to do it and he's done it."
His teammates see it, too.
Everyone knows what Miller, arguably the best dual-threat QB in the nation, brings to the field. He passed for 2,039 yards and 15 touchdowns last season and rushed for 1,271 and 13 TDs. And, he threw just six interceptions.
But, it is what he is doing behind the scenes that has Buckeyes' offensive lineman Jack Mewhort's attention.
"I've seen him grab a guy by the collar and say, 'You need to step up,'" Mewhort said. "He wouldn't have done that a year ago. It's been good to see so far."

Defense of Marriage Act: What Should Same-Sex Couples Do?
Although the Justice Department will no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, the IRS is still bound by the Act's requirements preventing married same-sex couples from filing joint federal income tax returns.
May 12, 2011
The Defense of Marriage Act, which denies recognition of same-sex marriages for purposes of administering federal law, has recently been in the headlines. Two new cases, one in Massachusetts and the other in New York, have been filed challenging the constitutionality of Section 3 of the Act. In those jurisdictions, no precedent exists as to whether the issue of sexual-orientation classifications is subject to a rational basis of review or must satisfy some form of heightened scrutiny. In response to those cases, on February 23, 2011, the Attorney General announced that the Justice Department will no longer defend the constitutionality of the Act. The President and the Attorney General concluded that the classification must satisfy heightened scrutiny and therefore as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law, Section 3 of the Act was unconstitutional. Recently, the law firm that was hired by the Republicans in the House to defend the constitutionality of the Act withdrew. (Editor Note: Tax Insider readers should note that while the firm withdrew, the actual lawyer quit the firm, but did not withdraw and Congress will continue to defend the Act's constitutionality.) What does this mean with respect to the administration of the tax laws and who does this affect?
Section 3 of the Act
Enacted by Congress in 1996, the Act provides in Section 3 provides that, "In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress or of any ruling, regulation or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."
Act Binds IRS and Taxpayers
Despite the announcement by the Department of Justice and the White House, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) still is bound by the Act and will be until Congress repeals the Act or the Supreme Court declares it unconstitutional. As a result, same-sex couples who are legally married in a state providing for same-sex marriages will be unable to file joint federal-income tax returns that result in a lower combined tax:
How Many Taxpayers Are Affected
It is difficult to quantify how many taxpayers are affected by the Act and the IRS's compliance with it. Today there are six states, as well as 10 foreign countries, that issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, including Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the District of Columbia. California issued licenses for same gender marriages between June 17, 2008 and November 4, 2008, when California's Proposition 8 (Prop. 8) suspended performance of same-sex marriages. Prop. 8 has been held unconstitutional and a stay has been granted while the Ninth Circuit is considering the case. New York, Rhode Island and Maryland recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states that permit same-sex marriages. Other states such as Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin granting similar or the same rights as opposite sex marriages provided domestic partnerships or civil unions are established between same-sex individuals. There were estimated to be approximately 64,000 individuals in same-sex marriages and approximately 175,000 individuals in domestic partnerships or civil unions in 2008 when only three states authorized same-sex marriages and 10 states recognized domestic partnerships. Today, it is estimated that there are more than a million individuals living as same-sex couples.
Current Cases Challenging the Act
There are eleven cases challenging the constitutionality of the Act currently in the federal courts. The following cases including the two mentioned in the Department of Justice's notice are challenging the Act with respect to federal tax laws:
What Should Same Sex Couples Do?
As reported by institutional author Amy S. Elliott, married same-sex couples who would benefit from joint filing are being advised to file original returns as "single" or "head of household" and then file amended tax returns as "married, filing jointly" seeking a refund. This will allow the married same-sex couple to take their case to court if the refund is denied or possibly to speed up a refund if in the interim Section 3 of the Act is held unconstitutional. In the interim, the IRS will continue to abide by Section 3 of the Act. Meanwhile the IRS has issued two legal memoranda and a private letter ruling concerning the treatment of community property held by California domestic partners. In that advice, the IRS ruled that:
Until Congress steps in or the Supreme Court holds the Act unconstitutional, married same-sex couples will be forced to file separate individual returns, rather than a joint return and file an amended joint income-tax return to preserve their rights. At the same time the IRS will be forced to abide by the Act and to treat married same-sex couples as not married, for purposes of administering and enforcing the federal tax laws.

Spinach Quiche

SANFORD, Fla. - A Florida judge has thrown out about a third of the charges against a Jacksonville attorney accused of using a veterans group as a front for a $300 million gambling operation.
Judge Kenneth Lester on Tuesday threw out more than 50 money laundering charges against Kelly Mathis. A jury will still decide whether he is guilty of about 100 other charges related to Allied Veterans of the World.
Prosecutors say Mathis helped build a network of almost 50 Internet cafes throughout Florida and that very little of the proceeds reached veterans.
But defense attorneys say Mathis only provided legal advice to Allied Veterans.
The arrest of Mathis and 56 other defendants last May caused the Florida Legislature to ban Internet cafes.
