A century after some faithful members of Centenary United Methodist Church longed for a place of worship in their home community of Riverside, many of the current 180 members and former parishioners joined for food and fellowship Sunday to mark the occasion.
A century after some faithful members of Centenary United Methodist Church longed for a place of worship in their home community of Riverside, many of the current 180 members and former parishioners joined for food and fellowship Sunday to mark the occasion.
�It is still a loving, family church where everyone cares dearly for each other,� said the Rev. Carol Grantham, whom Riverside United Methodist Church members simply call �Pastor Carol.�
She has been the minister there for two years and said the church�s roots run deep.
�There are members who have known each other for years, some for lifetimes,� she said as the crowd lined up for a covered-dish lunch.
Joyce Vanderford grew up in the church and came back for the special homecoming.
�As a child, I remember the closeness of the people in the church,� she said. �It was a community church.�
She said that was her recollection of stories she heard from her grandmother, Mildred Hardison Hammond, one of the church�s charter members. The group assembled in 1912 in the old canning factory on Griffith Street � now North Craven Street � with the Rev. W.A. Cade, assistant pastor at Centenary, as their leader.
She said most members of that era lived close by, in Riverside, Sunnyside and in the Oaks Road area
�The church women sold many, many chicken salad dinners to raise money for bricks, for the church and for missions,� she said.
Betty DeCamp, a 12-year member, solicited stories from church members to aid in the celebration and put together �Reflections From the Past,� which includes a history of the church and numerous stories, poems, a list of pastors and updated recent activities.
The church history was compiled by Frances Noble and updated by Evelyn H. Heckhaus.
It notes that the church was chartered in 1913, with Cade as the pastor and a membership of 49.
In 1916, plans were made for a church building, with the Rev. Harry B. Hill as its first pastor. The church is an example of Gothic architecture, with two entrances and two narthexes.
During the Great Depression, the church became part of the Bridgeton-Riverside-Beech Grove Charge, which it remained until 1950. It then became self-supporting again and was led by the Rev. Walter MacDonald.
An educational annex was added in 1954 and the church debt paid by 1958. It was named the Richard Stapleford annex. He was the only church member killed in World War II.
By 1960, another landmark event was the installation of air conditioning and new carpet. Handheld fans went by the wayside.

Beef producers are often better off letting cattle harvest the pasture than they are cutting it themselves for hay.
That's one of the cost-cutting messages delivered to a Fall Field Day audience at Clemson University's Edisto Research and Education Center. An audience of more than 275 heard the latest on research on peanuts, cotton, soybeans and vegetables at Edisto REC.
John Andrae, forage specialist at the University of Georgia, pointed out that hay costs the farmer $100 a ton, not counting the cost of the land, and costs are going up along with the price of fuel. It's cheaper to over-seed bermudagrass pastures with small grains.
He said over-seeding with annual rye alone can extend grazing by 50 days, but adding Arrowleaf clover to the rye can extend grazing by 90 days while helping cut the cost of nitrogen. Adding rotational grazing to the management strategy adds further efficiency.
Andrae said that fencing cattle into smaller areas and rotating them around as each is grazed intensively can result in 70 percent of the available forage being harvested, compared to only about 30 percent when cattle are allowed to graze extensively.
Producers can also save on hay costs by stockpiling — leaving about 6 inches of stubble in the field after the last cutting of the season. The stockpiled stubble can be grazed rather than using baled hay early in winter.
Andrae strongly recommended the use of quality seed and monitoring for good germination rates. It's important to plant as early as is recommended for the producer's area.
Field day visitors also heard Larry Olson, Clemson Extension beef cattle specialist, tout the benefits of good crossbreeding strategies using combinations of sires such as Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Simmental and Angus-Gelbvieh. He said that feedlot carcass data for 2005 show that the crossbred calves produced in Edisto REC's Integrated Resource Management Productions Systems program "were just the right size."
"They were what the industry likes as far as yield grades and ribeye area," he said. The calves were all yield grade 1, 2 or 3, and the ribeye area averaged 12.98 square inches. The calves were also feed efficient, producing a pound of gain for less than 6 pounds of feed.
Peanuts have been a big success story for South Carolina agriculture. Acreage has increased from around 11,000 four years ago to 59,000 this year. About 50,000 of those acres are on new land, according to Jay Chapin, Clemson Extension peanut specialist.
"That makes inoculants very important," he said. He recommended liquids over granulars for new-land peanuts and urged growers to watch costs.
He advised against double rates on inoculants and against spending money on special additives until research has proven they work.
"Spend your money on proven products like fungicides and herbicides," he said. "We know we've got to control diseases and weeds." He and his research associate, James Thomas, are also looking at ways to take inputs out of the picture.
"We're looking at three ways to reduce costs," said Thomas. "First, take the calcium out. Second, reduce the number of fungicide sprays. Third, change from a Virginia-type peanut to a runner, since runners take fewer inputs."
Smaller runner seed can reduce costs by about $25 an acre. Runners can also be grown without additional calcium if soil test levels are above 600 pounds per acre, further reducing production costs by $25 an acre. Soil tests showed residual calcium levels of between 650 and 710 pounds per acre for the test plots.
Whether growing runners or Virginia types, fungicides contribute a significant proportion of total production costs. Many South Carolina peanut acres are on land with no previous peanut history, so the risk of soil diseases will probably be less than in fields previously planted in peanuts.
Making the last two soil fungicide applications with chlorothalonil, which controls leaf diseases only, can reduce costs by about $20 an acre. Thomas said that results from comparisons of these three reduced input costs — seed, calcium and fungicide — and the two most commonly planted varieties, Georgia Green (a runner) and NC V11 (a Virginia type), will help focus future research. That research may include other varieties, fungicides and fungicide timings.
Yields and economic return data will be announced during a January statewide peanut meeting in Orangeburg.
Chris Main, Extension weed specialist, advised growers to control the two toughest weeds in South Carolina peanuts — pigweed and sicklepod — by putting out Valor and Dual behind the planter and using Cadre later for small pigweed and 2,4DB for sicklepod.
The field day also included looks at demonstration plots for cotton, soybeans, vegetables and melons, pest control strategies for transgenic cotton and a variable-rate irrigation system.

Super Rugby round five
Brumbies trample toothless Sharks
March 16, 2013
Matt Toomua pressed his Wallabies claims with an exceptional performance in Durban

The Brumbies confirmed themselves the Super Rugby pace-setters by bursting out of the blocks and smashing the Sharks 29-10 in Durban to remain the only undefeated side in the competition.
The win was their seventh in a row on the road, giving them the record for the most consecutive away wins in Super Rugby history, but more importantly the Brumbies are now six points clear of the second-placed Chiefs on the Super Rugby ladder having won all four of their games this year.
Jake White's team ran onto Kings Park Stadium like a team possessed, launching wave after wave in attack to tire last year's Super Rugby runners-up and rack up the four-try bonus point in just 34 minutes. The Brumbies pushed forward with more than ball in hand, with their rush defence putting the Sharks on the back foot throughout and openside flanker George Smith creating havoc at the breakdown.
Man of the Match Fotu Auelua was dominant in the first half, the No.8's direct running sucking in three defenders in the build-up to each of the first two tries to create overlaps on both occasions. "Fotu led from the front and worked hard to get us over the advantage line," White said. "It's fantastic and rewarding for a coach when you make a couple of changes and get a return from the boys who get a chance."
Brumbies fly-half Matt Toomua and inside centre Christian Lealiifano also had outstanding games, with former Sevens player Tevita Kuridrani providing additional flair in his first start of the season at outside centre. "One thing I enjoy about Matt Toomua is his ability to take the ball to the line and keep defenders honest to create space out wide," White said.
The Brumbies are looking good atop the Super Rugby ladder. (Video available only in Australia.)%]
Half-back Nic White suffered a head knock in the first tackle of the match; he was soon replaced by Ian Prior, who was sensational in directing the flow of the play and providing runners with wide, flat passes. Standout fullback Jesse Mogg was another injury concern after the match, having left the pitch with an injured left shoulder in the 57th minute, while Peter Kimlin and Scott Sio also limped to the sideline.
The Brumbies started in the best possible way, working the ball up the field patiently and error free as Mogg scored in the fifth minute and Joe Tomane went over in the corner to establish a 12-point lead in as many minutes. Toomua stumbled over for the Brumbies third and the pack forced a centre-field tight-head scrum from their fatigued counterparts in the 34th minute, with the fly-half catching the blindside defence off guard and throwing a looping cut out pass to Henry Speight to bring up the four-try bonus point.
Heavy rain fell at half-time, stifling the Brumbies expansive game plan. The Sharks also improved, captain Keegan Daniel leading the way with the only try of the second half in the 51st minute. The try was notable because it was the first the Sharks had scored since round two and because the Brumbies had not conceded a second-half try in their previous three fixtures.
Daniel paid tribute to the Brumbies, saying they held onto the ball for long periods of time, sucking in the Sharks' defence and then spreading it wide. "Offloads hurt you in rugby and they managed to do that a lot in the first half," Daniel said of the Brumbies.

Aggies lose DT Ennis for season
COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin confirmed what Aggies had feared for the past 10 days: Senior defensive tackle Kirby Ennis is lost for the season with a knee injury.
Sumlin said Ennis suffered a torn ACL in the Aggies' 45-33 victory at Arkansas on Sept. 28 and is set for surgery – essentially meaning his college career is finished. No. 9 A&M had this past Saturday off, and will take on Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss., starting 7:30 p.m. this Saturday.
Freshmen Isaiah Golden and Hardreck Walker, along with sophomore Alonzo Williams, will fill in for Ennis, the Aggies' top run stuffer in the middle and an NFL prospect. Ennis started the last four games for the 4-1 Aggies, after sitting out the opener against Rice because of suspension.
He was missed against the Owls on the Aggies' thin, young defense, and certainly will be missed the rest of the year at the vital position in terms of slowing the run.
"This is not the NFL," Sumlin said. "I can't call Bob Stoops and trade for a guy. We've got who we've got, and we've got to able to develop some players."
Also, Sumlin said starting safety Floyd Raven (shoulder) might return this week, but that's to be determined. Defensive coordinator Mark Snyder said if Raven returns, Deshazor Everett will earn more playing time at cornerback. The versatile Everett has been playing plenty of safety in Raven's absence the past three games.

At a speech before the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Ford Motor Co.'s Executive Chairman Bill Ford (Henry's great-grandson) made some notable remarks about how the future will need to accommodate 4 billion cars on the road by mid-century. (We already have about a billion.)
While people around the world keep buying cars at a rapid pace, traffic jams are endemic, seemingly endless and growing: 100 miles in Sao Paulo, for instance, lasting 2-3 hours a day. You heard about the one in China lasting 11 days? Elsewhere, "the cost of congestion to the economy in England through lost time will rise to around $35 billion (€26 billion) annually by 2025. In Germany, sustaining a town of 300,000 people is estimated to require 1,000 truck deliveries daily."
So Bill Ford proposes collaboration between public and private transport, government and the telecommunications industry, to develop an interconnected network whereby cars, bicycles and pedestrians will be part of some giant integrated system to control their movements, especially in gridlocked cities. A business opportunity here? Oh yeah.

Doctors in Barcelona, Spain, insisted for months that a woman with a tumor was merely pregnant, UPI is reporting. She's suing.
Doctors misdiagnosed a painful, 24-pound, cancerous uterine tumor as a late-term pregnancy.
She alleges doctors quipped, "Haven't you ever heard of contraception?" and told her she was in the advanced stages of pregnancy, chalking her pains up to a panic attack. After two negative pregnancy tests, she returned to the hospital and urged doctors to examine her further, ThinkSpain reported Saturday.
When she was finally given an ultrasound, she said, "the doctor said, 'Gosh, what a huge cyst."
UPI reports she is undergoing chemotherapy.

Did anyone on here see Hurst, Peters and Moore play for WH?The very best posts from KUMB over the years ...
Moderator: Gnome
Re: Did anyone on here see Hurst, Peters and Moore play for WH?
I hope this is ok to post as it is another website but for all of us with failing memories then http://www.westhamstats.info/ lists every West Ham game with line-ups, scores and all the stats you could possibly want.
Re: Did anyone on here see Hurst, Peters and Moore play for WH?
i saw them play quite a few times but to be honest I was pretty young and really had no idea how good they were plus they certainly weren't fautless and in some games werer not stand out performers. But aside form age you also have to remmenber -
there was NO media hype on those days, so you formed a view on what you saw not what you read. likewise, very little on TV either so supporters were not subjected to endless re-runs and repeated video cameos of their best bits.
Re: Did anyone on here see Hurst, Peters and Moore play for WH?
Yes I did. And I have a story...... I was working in Manchester the week before Man u were playing the Hammers at the Bolyn. I got on the train with the whole team. they were playing cards in the first class carriage. I got the autographs of George best, bobby Charlton, paddy crerand, Matt busby, Dennis law... I didn't tell me I was a Hammers fan tho... I wanted their autographs. They beat us that weekend but that's nothing new.....
Re: Did anyone on here see Hurst, Peters and Moore play for WH?
Yep, had the priviledge of watching Mooro ( from his debut against Man U to his final game, Hereford?). The man in all honestly was an immaculate footballer, no sobriquet would be sufficient. His trademark sliding tackle, taking the ball away and then looking up for a long diagonal ball a la World Cup ( hoofball) was all down to timing and skill.
Geoff Hurst ( Donkey) was a right-half converted to centre-forward by R.G. There was a general surprise when he made the England squad because at the time Hunt and Greaves were well in front of him. He had a decent shot in both feet and a good header of the ball, but he stood out as a very intelligent footballer, always making runs and making himself available for the ball. I think he blossomed after the W.C.
Martin Peters ( 20 years ahead of his time) had a difficult start, he took over from Bovington, a no nonsense footballer who could make Stiles look somewhat effette. But Ron had obviously seen something in him. He had a good engine and was always making late runs into the box. Two decent feet and a very good header of the ball, near-post headers became a West Ham way.
But however my own personal favourites were Johnny (Budgie) Byrne and Peter Brabrook.
Budgie couldn't run tackle or head but boy did he have fast feet. I believe he made Hurst the player he was, always setting him up. He could turn a centre-half into a tearful jelly, he would tear Jack Charlton a new one every time they met. He only got one England cap which was a travesty.
Brabrook was a tall right winger who was the most infuriating player you could wish for. He would beat the left back once, then go back and beat him again and if there was nothing on beat him for a third time. He suddenly discovered the ability to head the ball and became a secret weapon for a couple of seasons standing innocently at the near-post for corners.
Honorable mentions also to John Smith, Malcom Musgrave and Phil Woosnam.
How on earth we never won the league I will never know but I suppose it is the West Ham way

Why you need to add montenegro to your travel list part 2
Continuing from my post one, I wanted to share a whole lot more of fun things you can do In Montenegro and give you even more reasons to add this beautiful country to your 2018 travel list. It also helps that Montenegro is less than 2 hours away and you can travel with a carryon luggage only. I got my hands on a Briggs and Riley Sympatico Onyx suitcase that expands so I can pack so many looks easy. Without much further ado, here are few more reasons to visit Montenegro this year. Savina Vineyard Did you know that Montenegro produces wine" A very delicious wine if I may add! Probably not as most people don't even know where Montenegro is and due to its small population, its wine production is only available mainly in the Balkan region. I visited Savina vineyard where I got an amazing opportunity to try some of the local food and wine and as you can probably guess this came with a feeling of overindulgence. How can you blame me tough when the beautiful coastal and mountain view mixed with a crispy rose wine and delicious food can only lead to one enjoying life too much. Savina vineyard […] The post Why you need to add montenegro to your travel list part 2 appeared first on thelondonthing.co.uk.

Ian Thompson-Intelligent Care Healthcare Taps & Showers
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Ian Thompson : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Ian Thompson : The aim was to communicate the unique functionality of the taps and showers by using a healthcare equipment approach to create a design that would elevate the range beyond utilitarian plumbing products normally found in healthcare. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Ian Thompson : The products are packed with technology employing the most advanced digital thermostatic water control valve and it's one of the key features of the design in the fight against infection control in healthcare. Challenging ourselves to balance the high technology valve with a user experience that is approachable and intuative to first time users was a big focus. For the taps we created a new interface that is both touchless and touch activated to accommodate all the different user scenarios I found in the field. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Ian Thompson : The Intelligent Care has attracted some really good attention from healthcare suppliers in the UK, Europe and the US. It great to get such good feedback and I have plan to leverage the technology in new configurations to solve further healthcare challenges. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Ian Thompson : Designing this range started with a program of global research 5 years ago and that's when design starts and it doesn't stop until the product is packed and shipped. We are constantly learning and improving the design at every phase of feedback and development, we take as many opportunities as possible to refine the design and improve the solution. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Ian Thompson : Rada has been a leader in digital water control for healthcare for a number of years. They constantly innovate to improve products and reduce risk to patients and healthcare professionals. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Ian Thompson : Rada is producing the designs in the UK and will sell into key global markets. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Ian Thompson : There is a huge problem in healthcare today, an estimated 6 million Health Care Associated Infections occurred in the US and Europe last year alone, 136,000 of those resulted in death. However, the real tragedy is that a full third of the fatalities were preventable. Hand washing is considered the most important way of reducing HCAIs, but infections associated with environments involving water and patients are spreading, infections such as Legionella, MRSA and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. The water outlet is only one component of a safe water system but we took the challenge to create a leading solution to make sure that taps and showers played there part in the fight against infections. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Ian Thompson : As a designer I constantly look to improve the human experience and create unique innovative products but I think you have to acknowledge other design work as I think artefacts around us set expectations of how we interact with products, the built enviroment and even other people. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Ian Thompson : Healthcare suppliers like the NHS in the UK or the SSN in Italy are a key target for the Intelligent Care range. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Ian Thompson : There is really nothing close to the Intelligent Care range. Our advanced digital thermostatic valve, the advanced interface design and a number of other innovations mean there is nothing similar. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Ian Thompson : It's simple, our product range has the capacity to carry out a number of intelligent operations to reduce the risk to patients from water borne infections when they are most vulnerable when undergoing treatment in the healthcare environment. Intelligent Care really captures what the product does for those patients. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Ian Thompson : In the early stages of a project I employ a number of mapping tools to organise user insights and customer needs and align with business strategy. In this case clear project direction allowed the development of visual brand guidelines that inform the design phase. Ideas and form creation starts with pen and paper before refining digitally in Sketchbook pro to communicate clearly to business stakeholders. For this project we went on to use a combination of Rhino and NX CAD to develop designs and engineer a number of new technologies. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Ian Thompson : The tap design has the greatest impact combining a refined chrome body form and advanced manufacturing used to create the unique touchless interface. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Ian Thompson : This project has been one of the largest tackled by Rada and would not be possible without the belief and collaboration across the teams. Marketing, Approvals, Technical Publications, Purchasing, EXP, Test, Engineering and Industrial Design have all had there part to play in bringing this unique product range to market. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Ian Thompson : At its core the range is based on our most advanced thermostatic water control valve, it's our smallest and most intelligent valve and is key to delivering the healthcare solutions the range offers. We combine that high technology with experience and interface design to create a usable product that delivers what our customers need. There is a lot of work making our high technology simple and usable. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Ian Thompson : At the beginning of the project I led a global research program to understand our end users and listen to our customers needs. From such a large data set its possible to look for patterns and form a direction, this formed the foundation for developing the range. I like to use research repeatedly during the design phase, testing prototypes to improve the experience and to refine the design. The App which controls the set up of the product is a key element in the range managing a number of configuration settings and managing all the smart data the products track. During its development a number of user interface prototypes were developed to test with internal service engineers and with hospital facilities teams. Without the level of research employed on this project it would not be the award winning range it has become. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Ian Thompson : The challenges started even before the design phase. Gaining research access to key people was challenging but was key to a good foundation. Once we overcame these challenges the scale of creating a global product with such impact became clear. Although highly technical it's still fundamentally a plumbing product and plumbi.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Ian Thompson on Intelligent Care Healthcare Taps & Showers at design-interviews.com ]

Walt Disney Co.'s video game division laid off about 50 staffers Tuesday from several locations on the same day that it closed the Austin, Texas, studio that produced its "Epic Mickey" titles.
The layoffs were separate from the people who lost their jobs at Austin-based Junction Point, according to a knowledgeable person not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Disney's Interactive Media unit, which also includes online content, has shed jobs recently as it attempts to meet Chief Executive Robert Iger's publicly stated goal of achieving profitability in its current fiscal year.

The games group has significantly pulled back its ambitions in order to focus on the upcoming "Infinity" project for consoles, along with mobile and social titles.

These cupcakes were made for my Nanny to sell at a bake sale - i'm still forbidden from baking without an excuse to save the waistlines of my family!
She needed something individual and seasonal, and these cupcakes instantly sprang to mind as perfect. The plum jam in the sponge makes it beautifully moist, and along with the sliced plum on top they make a perfect summer treat.
For the sponge:
120g unsalted butter
340g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
4 large egg yolks
360g soft light brown sugar
180ml buttermilk
270g plum jam
For the icing:
500g icing sugar
160g unsalted butter
50ml whole milk
70g plum jam
fresh plum slices, to decorate
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius, and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
Using a handheld electric whisk or free standing electric mixture with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, flour, and baking powder n a low speed until the ingredients are well incorporated and crumb-like in texture.
Fill each paper cupcake case up to one-third full with batter, then top with 1tsp of the remaining plum jam, followed by a similar quantity of batter. The jam will create a filling as the cakes bake.
Spoon the frosting onto the cupcakes once they are cold, gently smoothing and spreading with a palette knife. Decorate with slices of fresh plum. (NB - Do not try and pipe the icing - the jam makes it too soft and adding more icing sugar will make it too sweet.)
I'm "jetting off" to Cornwall next week for a much needed holiday with my family and boyfriend. Expect many "Cornish cream tea" related posts; I have a feeling this holiday may develop into a bake-a-thon with 10 hungry family members to feed!
You may also like this Summer Berry Loaf Cake, perfect sliced up with a cup of tea. Heck, why not just make both?

Ask a spectator to choose a card from the deck, remember it, and return it to the pack. Present the sand frame, then cover it with a silk. Ask the spectator to concentrate on their selected card for a moment, then uncover the frame. The face of their card is now presented inside the frame! A perfect routine for the audience; even though you know the secret, the spectator can be credited for the magic!

EAST MONTGOMERY COUNTY, February 26, 2013 - The Precinct 4 Constable's Office has investigated and arrested another child predator, but this case is unusual, if not unique. The suspected claims his actions were an act of revenge against the victim's family.
At the beginning of January, a local woman contacted the Precinct 4 Constable's Office saying her 14-year-old daughter was receiving lewd photos from what appeared to be an adult male through Facebook. He continued sending images of his penis, using a fake name, despite being told the girl's age. The victim's mother had confronted the man through Facebook and he was hostile and taunting toward her, even suggesting she "call Spiderman" for help. The mother collected her own evidence to show law enforcement, taking photos of the screen where he displayed his penis and wrote inappropriate messages to her daughter.
Pct. 4 Investigators, Captain Mark Seals and Sergeant Arturo Looza were able to trace the account to an IP address belonging to a registered sex offender in New Caney. However, the registered sex offender was not the culprit. As in previous online child predator cases, the suspect was using someone else's IP address, causing him to be the first target of an investigation into a crime he had no part in.
"This is another case that should be a wakeup call for people to use password protection and to be extremely careful who they allow to use their wireless internet," said Pct. 4 Constable Rowdy Hayden.
The investigation continued, and on January 31, Charles Capps walked into the Precinct 4 Constable's Office and confessed to sending photos of his penis to the 14-year-old. The 21-year-old also admitted he knew her age at the time. But Capps' revelation did not stop there. He further stated he had sex with the teen last November, but claimed it was consensual. The act would have been criminal because of the female's age, regardless of whether it was by force or consent.
The victim denied having consensual sex with Capps, who she knew by name, stating she was sexually assaulted by him. However, she was unaware Capps was the same person using a fake profile on Facebook, since he never showed his face while communicating with her online.
The case took an even more strange and unanticipated twist when Capps said he had sex with the 14-year-old as an act of revenge against her family, on behalf of his own. According to Capps, he was angry at the victim's family because of an alleged sexual assault that occurred around five years ago. Capps said a female relative of his, who was around 14 then, was raped by a male relative of his victim. Capps said he held onto his hatred for the family until he saw an opportunity to "pay them back." Capps said the girl's mother found out and confronted him, causing him to become angrier still, and eventually create the Facebook profile he used to send the teen photos of his penis, along with harassing messages.
The District Attorney's Office reviewed the case and an arrest warrant was issued for Capps. He was taken into custody on the afternoon of February 19 at his grandmother's home in New Caney.
The case was the latest in a growing list of child predator investigations and arrests by the Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
"Once we realized how widespread the issue of online child predators was, and how few agencies were educated about it and had the resources to devote to these cases, we felt obligated to do whatever we could," Constable Hayden said. "I'm very proud of what Captain Seals and Sergeant Looza have done so far in taking predators off the streets and I know there will be many more."
"We appreciate the assistance we've received from the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office and the working relationship we've developed with the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable's Office, whose investigators are also tackling this new and increasing threat to our community's children," he said. "I cannot stress enough the importance of parents knowing what sites their children visit online and who they communicate with and the subject matter. It might make them angry, but not doing it might make them victims."
Capps remains held in the Montgomery County Jail with bond set at $180,000.

Is your guy self-conscious about his beer belly, but can't find the time to hit the gym? Well, perhaps he's like to try the "Mansie," a.k.a. a type of male spanx that's, apparently, becoming all the rage.
Made by U.K.-based brand George, the for-guys-only shapewear is supposedly selling like hot cakes on the other side of the pond. While I'm not so sure how I feel about guys wearing what looks like an old-timey swimsuit under their clothes, I can totally see the theoretical appeal of this bodycon undergarment.
Made from body-whittling compression fabric, the Mansie provides overall shaping, plus it has panels for smoothing the waistline and tucking in the tush, as well as cooling vents. And for only $30, it sure beats giving up bacon-wrapped steaks, right?
Personally, I hate wearing shapewear because being all squished in like that tends to make me feel huge and bloated. (So not sexy.) Which is why I wouldn't advise a guy to squeeze into this thing. But what do you think about dudes wearing Mansies?

Order of the Chivalry
The Strength and Stability of the Kingdom lie in these virtues of its people:
Service, Creativity and Chivalry, for if any of these are lacking the Kingdom fails.
The Knights of the Kingdom defend it with Valour and Honour, and protect its people from Violence.
The Right Noble Order of Chivalry of Lochac is the Peerage Order for excellence in armoured combat in the Kingdom of Lochac
Candidates invited to join the Order may choose to join as one of two kinds of members: Knights, who swear perpetual fealty to the Crown and Kingdom on their elevation, and Masters/Mistresses of Arms, who do not. Members of the Order are usually summoned in court to reaffirm their vow to each new Crown. So far, all members of the Lochac order have been created Knights (KSCA).
As a council, the Order acts as a consultative body to The Crown, whose duties are defined by Corpora as follows:
- To set an example of courtesy and chivalrous conduct on and off the field of honour.
- To respect the Crown of the Kingdom; to support and uphold the laws of the Kingdom and Corpora.
- To enrich the Kingdom by sharing his or her knowledge and skills.
- To support and uphold the Crown of his or her Kingdom.
- To enhance the renown and defend the honour of the peer's Lady or Lord.
- To advise the Crown on the advancement of candidates for the Chivalry.
- To bestow the Accolade of Knighthood upon a candidate for the Order of Knighthood, as the sole right as Sovereign or acting directly for the Sovereign, for only a Knight can create a Knight.
The Order has a website and an Email address that is answered by the Clerk of the Order. Any recommendations for membership in the Order should be addressed to the clerk, and to the Crown.
It is the Ancient Tradition of the Order that it is the solemn duty of the newest-made member of the Order to provide refreshing beverages at council meetings.

Help! What is My HIV/STD risk from unprotected anal/vaginal sex?
A week and a half ago I went out with someone I did not know and I had too much to drink. We were fooling around and I did not notice the exact moment he penetrated me vaginally from behind until it happened. I enjoyed this and right as I was climaxing, he pulled out and entered my rectum. I had another orgasm, he pulled out and I realized he was not wearing a condom and went into shock. At this moment, he came outside of my body, not inside. I later found out that this person has multiple sex partners and he obviously hasn't been wearing condoms with any of them. I have had itching, burning and irritation in my vagina since this incident and I have just purchased an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment, Monistat 3. I don't have any other symptoms like abdominal pain or fever, but I am wondering if this could be the start of an STD. If it does not clear up through the Monistat, I am going to go see a doctor. I am also going to get tested for HIV in 30 days, 90 days AND 6 months to alleviate my fears. However, realistically all I could have come in contact with is pre-cum. I've been reading everything I can on-line and the risk appears minimal but very real. Exactly how real is this risk and how much do I need to be worried? This is the first time I've had sex in over two years and I was just in a very low resitance mood to this guy who was very seductive and smooth. I am trying not to panic too much but just to be realistic and take these precautions. It's a very scary thing!
You've outlined your risk exposure quite accurately - receptive, unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse with a partner of unknown status but without ejaculation. Yes, you made a mistake when you assumed Mr. Smooth and Seductive was responsible enough to use protection, because yes, it does take 2 to tango. But no doubt he's a jerk for not protecting you (and himself). Don't beat yourself up too much as we are all humans. We all make mistakes; and hopefully, we all learn from those mistakes. That he did not cum inside you does lower your risk, as does the fact you aren't sure he's even HIV-positive. The best "statistic" we have is that the risk per single episode of receptive vaginal and/or anal sex is 0.1-0.3 percent. Another factor in your favor is that although pre-cum has been documented to contain HIV, it is at a much lower concentration than semen. Can HIV-infected pre-cum theoretically transmit HIV? Yes, it can. Exactly how often (or how rarely) this happens is unknown. Certainly the risk would be considerably less than if you were the receptive partner with a full ejaculation.
Following a significant risk exposure, we have 2 options. One is PEP - post exposure prophylaxis. This involves taking 2 or 3 HIV medications prophylactically to hopefully abort any infection. This works best if started immediately after the exposure, and certainly no later than 72 hours. If you're beyond the 72-hour period or don't want to take HIV meds, the other option is to wait for a 90-day test. The 30-day test, that you mentioned is not considered conclusive.
Regarding other STD's, yes they are a possibility. Consider having your Ob-Gyn or general medicine doctor screen you for these, particularly if you continue to have symptoms.
Good luck with your tests. We'll all be rooting for you. If you see Mr. Smooth and Seductive again, why not snap the latex condom on his Mr. Happy in hopes of making sure he never forgets again!
Good luck.
Dr. Bob

Snow Camp residents Starr and Dean Jones have long had a connection with Hollywood.
Over the past 20 years, they have etched their place in the movie capital as experts in the field of makeup, an essential part of any movie operation. And during that time they have developed one of the most spectacular Halloween events in the country, �The Halloween Horror Show,� which they stage here annually.
And now they have brought Hollywood to Alamance County as they are filming a movie, �Nevermore� at various locations in the area. It�s not often we get attention of the Hollywood folks here, but Dean and Starr are putting us on the film map with this movie.
Up until now we have never had a really big-time link to the movie world � but we came close in 1953 when a really big name in filmdom almost made Alamance County his home.
It was a summer afternoon in 1956. Local Realtor Doug Avent was busy with a client in his office when a woman walked in. The lady took a seat and waited until Avent finished with the other customer.
Then the lady told Avent she and her family wanted to see a particular piece of property in the county. They had seen it advertised in another area and had traveled here to take a look at it. The property was located south of Burlington off Highway 49 and was owned by industrialist Paul Stevens, who had moved to West Palm Beach, Fla.
The property had 414 acres and was known as Road�s End Farm. It was being advertised nationally at a price of $114,000. Remember, this was 1956.
The woman�s husband and children were waiting in their car outside, and Avent joined them for the trip to the farm.
As they drove out of town, Avent realized he knew the man.
�Excuse me, but aren�t you Robert Mitchum of the movies?� he asked.
�That�s right,� Robert Mitchum replied.
The same Robert Mitchum who had starred in scores of movies to that time, and who would eventually play in more than 100 films for the big screen and television. �River of No Return,� �Night of the Hunter,� �Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.� �Thunder Road.� And in the early 1980s he starred in �The Winds of War,� a television series topped in viewership only by the epic Alex Haley series, �Roots.�
Avent showed the family around the property for more than an hour � Mitchum, his wife, two teenage sons and a 4-year-old daughter.
They seemed to like what they saw. They were looking for a place where they could settle into a new life on the East Coast.
The Mitchums drove Avent back to his Burlington office, and they went on their way.
Of course, Avent told others, and as the word spread that this superstar of the movies was looking at a home here, the excitement grew. It would be cool to have this big star and his family living among us here in Alamance County.
But it was not to be.
Although they had indicated they liked the local farm, Avent never heard from them again.
Seems the Mitchums had driven on up the East Coast and stopped to look at some property in Trappe, Md. And it was there that they decided they wanted to live. They bought property and lived there until 1965.
The Alamance County property was later purchased by W.S. Foster, who had owned a textile operation in the area, and then in 1972, Alamance County acquired the property, and you know it today as Cedarock Park.
Robert Mitchum died on July 1, 1997, and there is no reason to believe he ever came back to Alamance County after that 1956 visit. It would have been interesting to have had such a famous film star as a neighbor � but then it�s been really nice having such a beautiful public park in southern Alamance.

(CNN) -- The public will get the other side of the story of the South Carolina governor sex scandal sooner, as the governor's estranged wife Jenny Sanford's memoir publishing date has been moved up.
Sanford's book, "Staying True," will now hit bookstores on February 5 instead of the original April release date, the book's publisher, Ballantine Books, announced Tuesday.
Sanford landed the book deal in September, a few months after her husband, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, admitted having an affair with an Argentine woman.
In December, Jenny Sanford released a statement,saying she was filing for divorce "after many unsuccessful efforts at reconciliation."
According to a synopsis of the book on the publisher's Web site, her memoir "reveals the private ordeal behind her very public betrayal -- and offers inspiration for anyone struggling to keep faith during life's most trying times."
"She chose to let Mark Sanford deal with the embarrassment and political fallout from his own actions while focusing her own efforts privately on raising their children to be men of character, even in the face of the lies their father has told," the synopsis reads.
After the governor made a nationally televised admission about his affair, there were calls for Sanford's resignation and investigations by media organizations and the state Ethics Commission into whether he tapped taxpayer resources for personal use.
In November, the ethics panel charged Sanford with 37 violations of the state ethics code. The commission will hear arguments involving those civil charges some time this year.
CNN's Peter Hamby contributed to this report.

Joining has always been a slow, difficult process. Never again, thanks to the Festool Domino joining system. The system consists of the Domino joiner and pre-fabricated, beech and sipo Domino tenons. The Domino joiner, with its revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing features and adjustable mortise sizing, makes flawless mortises every single time. The Domino tenon is equally as impressive - it is 100% rotation-proof and far stronger than either biscuits or dowels. It also has a large gluing surface area for extra strength.
Please note that the Domino DF 500 can be purchased as a set, which includes the optional trim and cross stop. See purchasing options below.
Festool strongly promotes the importance of dust extraction when working with power
tools. For this reason, you can save instantly on the purchase of a Festool Dust
Extractor when bundled with a Festool power tool of your choice. Packages not available
in some combinations.
Package discounts only available at participating dealers. See dealer for details.
The spiral cutter rotates and oscillates to create perfect mortises.
Adjusting the width of the mortise allows for easier alignment when joining panels.
With an adjustable fence angle, retractable stop flaps, adjustable cutter height with step gauge, and precise mortise depth stop, the Domino joiner enables precise mortise placement and spacing.
Fence creates angled mortises from 0-90° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°.
Quick, precise adjustment for five different mortising depths, relative to the size of the tenon required for the application.
7 different step positions for different material thicknesses for fast and easy fence height adjustment.
Your mortises are clean and ready for glue when the Domino is used in combination with a dust extractor. Proper dust extraction greatly extends cutter life.
Durable, long-lasting bit withstands 5,000-14,000 joints depending on material.
Means you can change a bit in under 30 seconds to match desired tenon size.
Watch video of Mike Cantrell of
Cantrell Construction talking about why the Domino Joiner offers advantages over
other types of joinery.
