Serving your country doesn't mean giving up on your goal of completing your bachelor's degree or earning your master's degree. At Concordia University, our programs offer the flexibility and convenience you need to advance your career, even when military service makes your schedule unpredictable.
Benefits Include:
Eligible veterans of the U.S. armed forces receiving full Chapter 33 benefits can earn an undergraduate degree (through our traditional or adult undergraduate programs) or graduate degree tuition-free from Concordia University, St. Paul. Housing and other fees still apply.
Determine if you're eligible for a GI Bill and what type: New Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 GI Bill), Chapter 30, Chapter 31, Chapter 1606, Chapter 1607
If you are eligible for either the Chapter 30 or Chapter 33, you will need to determine which GI Bill is more beneficial for you. If you choose to convert your Chapter 30 to Chapter 33, according to VA Policy that decision is irrevocable. Compare your benefits under both GI Bill systems and be sure you make an educated decision.
For aid in this process or for more information, please contact Malisa Yang at email@example.com or 651-641-8716.
Note: The Minnesota GI Bill is administered through the Financial Aid Office, not the VA. If you are eligible and fill out the application, a payment will be sent directly to your financial aid account.

The University of San Francisco welcomed eight new members to its board of trustees in September, including the current pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in Sacramento and one of the nation's foremost research scientists on pancreatic cancer.
The Dalai Lama's youngest brother, Tenzin Choegyal, or T.C., as students address him, recently returned to USF for a third teaching stint.
Choegyal first joined USF's theology faculty part-time in 2003, leading up to a visit by his brother, the 14th Dalai Lama, to the university to accept an honorary doctorate degree. This fall, Choegyal (a reincarnated spiritual leader in his own right, according to Tibetan tradition) is teaching "Sacred Times, Sacred Places."
"I cover the 37 steps to becoming a Buddhist bodhisattva, or enlightened being," Choegyal said.
Choegyal teaches students how to cultivate virtues, something our everyday world has in short supply, Choegyal said. The virtues aren't associated with any particular organized religion. But, mastering them, at least in the bodhisattva tradition, offers the same thing most religions strive for—salvation.
"The less you think about yourself and the grasping of yourself, you'll find a tremendous release," Choegyal said.

I love my raw food sea vegetables for chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals from the ocean, iodine, and all things good for my health. Iodine works with our thyroid to help regulate our metabolism. Plus, I just love how sea vegetables taste. They're naturally 'salty' from potassium rather than sodium. They're a great add-on to any dish, and also make for a great recipe all on their own. I enjoy nori pretty much daily, wrapped up to hold my favorite fillings….like this arame salad.
Super fast and easy to make, this is a great recipe for when I'm short of fresh ingredients in my house. Seaweed is dried and shelf stable, and I always have hijiki, arame, and nori on hand.
My new favorite spice is yuzu paste. Found at Japanese markets, the paste is made with an aromatic, sour Asian citrus fruit (yuzu) that's highly salted with spicy chili added to the mix. It has a pungent flavor with kick of spice and salt, and I like to add a tiny bit of it to some recipes, like this one. If you can't find yuzu paste, you can just use pinches of salt and chili pepper instead.
The following recipe is super simple, easy and fast to make. It's how I feed myself on busy days when I don't have time to spend in the kitchen. I hope you'll enjoy this. If you want to make it more complex, try adding in a bit of garlic, ginger, and sliced green onions too.
Arame & Sugar Snap Pea Salad
Squeeze all excess liquid from soaked arame. Place into clean mixing bowl with sugar snap peas.
In another small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, and yuzu. Mix dressing into bowl with arame and snap peas, toss well.
Serve immediately.
Will keep for 1 day in fridge.

Science Matters
Matters of the Heart: Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease
EPA scientists explore the link between elevated ozone and heart disease risks
Most people don't pay much attention to the constant thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, of their heart beating away in their chest. After all, the prescription for heart health is generally well known - a tried and true combination of eating a low fat, high-fiber diet, not smoking, staying active, and keeping your blood pressure and cholesterol level in check. For some, a doctor-recommended daily dose of aspirin is part of the routine.
Now, however, emerging EPA research is pointing toward what could very well be an important missing ingredient, especially for those already at risk of heart attacks: keeping an eye on your local air quality index.
"Five percent or more of heart disease deaths are possibly related to air pollution exposure," says Wayne Cascio, MD, Director of EPA's Environmental Public Health Division.
Dr. Cascio, a cardiologist, and his research team are exploring the potential effects of air pollution exposure on cardiovascular health. He is also the leading force behind the Agency's "Green Heart Campaign" to increase awareness among public health professionals, doctors, nurses, other healthcare providers, and individuals that air pollution is a risk for those with heart disease.
The effect of air pollution exposure on the lungs has been well studied. Research shows that breathing in increased levels of tiny particles of air pollution (fine particulate matter or PM2.5) and ground-level ozone can lead to lung inflammation, decreased lung function, and an increase in asthma attacks. Extensive studies have also shown that particulate matter can contribute to and cause cardiovascular problems.
And now EPA researchers are exploring the link between ozone exposure and cardiovascular health.
Researchers in Cascio's division have discovered that ozone exposure can trigger inflammation of the vascular system and increase risk factors associated with heart disease.
"We found a linkage between ozone and increases in two risk factors for heart disease: a change in heart rate variability and a reduction in the ability of blood clots to dissolve," said Robert Devlin, Ph.D., an EPA senior scientist and lead author on a paper published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation that describes one of the first studies looking at the effects of ozone exposure on heart health.
Cascio, Devlin, and other EPA researchers are planning additional studies and will expand the suite of factors they examine, including exploring the impacts of ozone on resting heart rates versus the impacts while exercising. This type of test, similar to cardiac stress tests routinely performed in doctors' offices, will give insights into the potential for ozone exposure to trigger the heart to beat irregularly, too fast, or too slow.
EPA's research on air pollution and cardiovascular disease provides key information to public health officials and health care providers, who can then use it to issue advisories that alert those at risk to take action, such as limiting outdoor activities during periods of elevated ozone and "Air Quality Action" days.
With increased awareness of a link between air pollution and heart health, Cascio hopes people will keep themselves informed about their local air quality conditions. That information is readily available through EPA's Air Quality Index (AQI) and the AirNow App, a free smartphone App (available on iPhone and Android) that provides real-time air quality information. A tool called EnviroFlash also provides email and text message updates about local air quality data. "EnviroFlash is an easily accessible tool to help people plan activities around periods of increased ozone levels and other air pollutants," says Cascio.

Friends of Hoeflinger testify at liquor store clerk's trialWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Two teenage friends of Brian Hoeflinger testified April 14 in the trial of a liquor store clerk charged with selling alcohol to a minor.
Nicholas Thompson, 38, appeared before Lucas County Court of Common Pleas Judge James Bates. He is charged with selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor on Feb. 1, 2013, at Foxx Liquor Store on Dorr Street. The state called five witnesses, including the two teens, before the case was adjourned till morning.
Michael Geiger and Blake Pappas, who were seniors at Ottawa Hills High School along with Hoeflinger, both testified that the three friends met at Hoeflinger's house after school on Feb. 1, 2013, where they pooled their money and drove to Foxx Liquor to buy alcohol.
That's where Lucas County assistant prosecutors Louis Kountouris and Charles McDonald say Thompson sold 17-year-old Pappas a 1.75-liter bottle of Belvedere vodka without asking for identification.
The two teens testified that all three boys entered the store and chose the bottle of vodka together. Pappas then purchased the liquor for about $50 while Hoeflinger and Geiger browsed nearby.
Hoeflinger, 18, died from injuries sustained in an alcohol-related crash later that night. However, Bates asked the eight jurors to disregard any references in testimony to the crash or Hoeflinger's death and focus only on the sale of the liquor.
During cross-examination, Thompson's attorneys Rick Kerger and Andy Douglas brought up several discrepancies between the statements given by the teens when they were first interviewed by investigators on April 15, 2013, and the testimony given in court, including certain details in their physical descriptions of the clerk, how confident they were Thompson was the clerk who made the sale, which of the teens drove to the store and whether one of them had a fake ID.
Douglas questioned Geiger on how close he was to the cash register while the sale was taking place and whether he was really able to get a good look at the clerk or if it was possible the clerk asked for ID but Geiger was too far away to hear or see.
Pappas testified he did have a fake ID at the time, but did not have it with him on Feb. 1 and was not asked for ID at the liquor store. He said he didn't bring the ID because he had a basketball game that night and didn't want to risk bringing the ID to school. He also said he had previously purchased liquor at Foxx Liquor.
Also called as witnesses for the prosecution were Foxx Liquor employee Adam Meglitsch and Keenan Reese and Michael Hakeos, both alcohol enforcement agents with the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Investigative Unit.
Reese testified about conducting a September 2012 sting at Foxx Liquor in which Thompson sold alcohol to an underage patron working undercover. Thompson pleaded guilty on the charge and paid a fine. During the cross-examination, Kerger noted that Thompson pleaded not guilty this time.
Hakeos was among the investigators who questioned Geiger and Pappas on April 15, 2013, and who executed a search warrant on Foxx Liquor on April 16, 2013.
Taken as evidence at the store was a Feb. 1, 2013, receipt for the bottle of vodka, a daily transmittal report from the store verifying the bottle had been purchased that day and employee timecards, showing Thompson worked 4:05-10:43 p.m. Feb. 1. A DVR machine was also seized, but surveillance footage is recorded over every 10 days, so the footage from Feb. 1 was gone by the time of the April 16 raid, Hakeos said.
Hakeos interviewed Thompson that day at the store and audio of the interview was played in court. Thompson said he didn't recall the specific incident from Feb. 1, but did recognize Pappas as a regular customer who often came in with friends. He did not recognize photos of Geiger or Hoeflinger. A written statement taken from Thompson that day stated he could have sold Pappas the vodka without checking his ID because he was familiar with him being in the store.
During cross-examination, Kerger pointed out the interview took place more than two months after the Feb. 1 transaction. He also questioned whether the number of officers and deputies involved in the raid was necessary and whether Hakeos interviewing Thompson while wearing a bulletproof vest and mask and standing with an armed officer might have been intimidating. Hakeos replied that Thompson did not seem intimidated.
Hakeos also testified that of the employees working Feb. 1, Thompson most closely matched the teens' description of the clerk who sold them alcohol. One employee was a woman, another was a black man and Meglitsch had testified that his job was to stock shelves and that he never worked the register. Meglitsch is also shorter than Thompson, more than 10 years younger and has dark hair while Thompson has blond hair, Hakeos said.
Kerger also questioned Hakeos about why his report about interviewing the teens contained an inconsistency from the interview transcripts about which teen was driving and why he didn't press Pappas more about where he'd gotten a fake ID. Hakeos responded that both issues are important, but were secondary concerns to finding out where and from whom the teens had bought the liquor.
Hoeflinger's parents and two sisters were in the courtroom for the afternoon portion of the trial. Since the accident, the couple have founded an organization Brian Matters, www.brianmatters.com, and become national advocates against teen alcohol use and abuse.
Representatives of Foxx Liquor management were also in the courtroom. Foxx lost its liquor license in August, but is still able to sell beer and wine.
Thompson was recently charged with two additional counts of selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor stemming from a separate incident, but Bates, stating a conflict of interest, asked April 14 that he be recused from the case and another judge assigned.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Amtrol's invention of the diaphragm expansion tank. This innovative new product not only controlled system pressure in heating and chilled water systems, it also helped to significantly reduce energy consumption. Today Extrol is still the world's leading expansion tank and still Made in the USA.
In many ways the Extrol was The One That Started It All for Amtrol. It was our first major product breakthrough and it set the tone for the many innovations that followed.
All of us at Amtrol are proud of Extrol's success over the past 60 years. More importantly, we look forward to the future with confidence and enthusiasm because our commitment to building the best expansion tanks in the world is stronger than ever.

Quick App: TV.com Streams CBS, CW, Showtime, and CNet to the iPhone
While Big Media wants you to stay off their lawn (i.e. not stream their content to your TV's), it looks like they're increasingly okay-ish with their streaming it to your PC and... iPhone. Macworld brings word of the latest content streamer to hit the App Store, TV.com (iTunes link):
Most of the content consists of clips, interviews, and promos, but you'll also find full episodes of some TV shows, such as "CSI: Miami" and the aforementioned [MacGyver] mixed in (well, to be honest, there weren't many other shows I could find full episodes of at first glance). Full episodes are presented as multiple clips instead of as a single video. You can search for shows using the Search box at the top, or tap on the Shows and Channels buttons to browse in other ways.
Of course, a few more things need to happen to flesh out this category. Getting other networks on board via apps for Hulu and other services is one. Also, realizing it's the 21st fraken century and NOT restricting streaming apps from international users would be grand. (TV.com is US App Store only).
Anyone tried it yet? If so, how was the quality? Would you use this over your laptop for TV to go? Over your TV for viewing in general?

Not enough full length episodes to make it worth it right now.
HD TV is awesome. However, my local cable company still shows some SD stuff on the HD channels, and compresses some networks down so badly they look worse than YouTube.
Discovery is gorgeous. Battlestar on Space is a joke. :(
Ehh not as bad as joost but still pretty worthless...I recommend www.kickyoutube.com convert any video to your iPhone for free, n no software is needed
I agree. This is a joke. I tried it, and the quality was horrible. Plus, the only full-length episode I could find was a CSI Miami which I believe was from last season. Plus, as Rene pointed out, it comes in the form of 5 or 6 separate clips.
By the way, Rene, are there any satellite TV providers up there north of the border? Our local cable provider also blows chunks, but we have DirecTV and it is awesome.
Quality wasn't great

A man from Perry allegedly pointed a gun at two females, told them to "get on the floor and empty their pockets" and then took a cell phone during an incident at a house on Center Street in Wagener on Friday.
The victims said the subject fired the gun at the house's ceiling after they said they "didn't have anything," according to an Aiken County Sheriff's Office report on the incident.
The man who lives at the house told the responding officer that the victims were watching the residence for him while he was out of town at a family gathering.
The victims said they were watching television and "having a few beers" when they heard a knock on the door, according to the report. One of the victims answered the door and that's when the male subject pointed the gun and made his demand.
The victims said the subject was accompanied by two other males, one also from Perry and another from Wagener. The victims identified all three subjects and said the subjects left after taking the cellphone.
The responding officer observed a hole in the ceiling of the house.

Trick or Treat? :laugh:

I had everything published up until May of 2010, then a flood destroyed my entire book collection. I'm rebuilding it slowly, but I still have some titles to reaquire.
All the ones that I do have are HCs and I tend to have multiple copies (2 EE, 2 DT5, 2 N&D). There are a few I am missing, Cycle of the Werewolf, The Colorado Kid and On Writing to name a few.
The only ones I don't have are Six Stories and the original versions of The Plant.
Shasta, please do get your collection insured asap. You never know what could happen. I used to have Farmers and they required you to have the collection professionally looked at for value (which is quite costly) but the company I have now doesn't require that, it's just added into the value of 'contents'. I do recommend that you take pics of everything you have, even going as far as opening up any books you may have that are autograghed so you can prove that they were signed. Also, keep a list and/or copies of receipts to prove what the purchase prices were.
I own all of them. Every single one, including all the Bachman books, which I purchased separately, as individual paperbacks, before his true identity was even known. Then I have the collection of the "Bachman Books." The one with all of the books in one big large paperback. I even have four copies of "The Stand" because I've read the darn thing so many times, I messed up the first three copies. I started my collection way back in the very eary 80's. And have been adding to it since. I'm very proud of my King collection!
I've gone as far as finding out what they're all worth then stopped. I am going to do it this weekend. I am.
Thanks for the advice on taking pictures, especially of the signed ones. I will definitely do that.
As far as receipts go I think it may be too late for that but I will keep them going forward.
Thanks for the motivation!
The list is long, but most of his books that has come out translated you
can find in my bookcase.
at least one copy of each and everyone...everything from the dead zone on is first edition hardcover, mostly trade editoins.
i have a few limited run stuff...the first four DT books, desperation, and cycle of the werewolf: as far as i know , all of the special editions are the more basic trade first editions: i have no signed editins or really spiffy, high-end editions.
i've read dt1 5 times, dt2 4 times, dt3 3, dt 4 2: each re-read just before the next vol. appeared...the mist 4 times...
salems lot three times...the shining, carrie, the dead zone, the stand, misery, different seasons, rage, the long walk and the running man twice each...all since i read my first back in '76-'77: salems lot, in paperback
i do not have that sci-fi paperback book often attributed to king...had a copy, believed the man when he said he didn't write it...got rid of it...somedays, i wish i still had it...just in case

AUSTIN, Texas -- State leaders like to brag about Texas' fast growing economy and low unemployment. But rarely do they mention the high poverty rate.
The unemployment rate and the creation of new jobs are the statistics most often cited by Gov. Rick Perry to brag on Texas, and unemployment is among the lowest in the country at 6.2%. That's well below the national average of 7.7%.
Employment, though, is not the only measure of economic prosperity. There is the question of quality of life.
The number of Texans living in poverty rose for a third consecutive year in 2011, adding more than 214,000 people to total 4.6 million. According to the U.S. Census Bureau that's 18.5% of the population, 3% higher than the nation as a whole.

Where can I find electronic text versions of books for students who have visual impairments or other print disabilities?
Each year increasing numbers of students with visual impairments and other print disabilities are requesting electronic text, commonly referred to as e-text, versions of books and other print-based media. Whether it be the latest version of a Biology textbook or Homer's the Iliad, finding e-text in a timely manner can be a challenge for educators.
Below are examples of Internet resources for both digital libraries, which contain public domain texts, and subscription-based libraries.
- Selected Sources for Electronic Texts, from the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, is a selected list of sources for electronic text files that are in a variety of formats ranging from plain text to digital audio and digital Braille.
- Bookshare.org is a subscription-based service with over 125 newspapers and magazines and over 26,100 books available for subscribers to download in DAISY or the Braille digital format, BRF.
- Free eBooks by Project Gutenberg offers over 40,000 free ebooks.
As you search for electronic texts, keep in mind that just because a text is available electronically does not assure that it is in a format that is accessible for people with visual and/or print disabilities. Many states are adopting accessible textbooks laws which include guidelines for acceptable accessible file formats. For more information on this topic visit the AccessIT Knowledge Base article, Which states have accessible textbook laws and what do they say about file formats?

Hundreds of Surry County families are highlighted in the Surry Community College Genealogy Room, housed on the second floor of the campus library. And all the resources are available for the public to peruse and research at no charge.
"That was one of their goals was to have a research room," explained Esther Johnson, president of the Surry County Genealogical Association, of which she is speaking.
Shortly after the association formed in 1981, it was approached by Hunter Publishing Company about the opportunity to publish a genealogy book on the families of Surry County. Johnson said the cost to publish was $70,000 and the amount of money "scared them," but they went forward with the project, "The Heritage of Surry County, Volume I."
A few years later a second book on families in the county was published, "The Heritage of Surry County, Volume II," and Johnson said the group "made enough off of them that they had the first one reprinted, and they published a church history book on the churches in Surry County."
A fourth book, "Images of America, Surry County," was done through Arcadia Printing on the townships in Surry County.
"All the money made from those books was used to buy materials and equipment to go in that room," said Johnson of the genealogy room at SCC.
The family resource room at the college came about following a course on genealogy taught in 1980 by the late Carlos Surratt. "He was the night dean at Surry Community College, and he was always interested in genealogy. Everyone who came into the college, he'd want to know who's your daddy, who's your granddaddy," said Johnson. "So he taught a genealogy class in the winter of 1980, and from that class, they decided they wanted a genealogy association."
The association had its first meeting with 50 people in attendance in May of 1981, and of the first officers elected, Surratt became an advisor, a position he held until he died.
"The group started with only one book case of research books," Johnson said. "And the collection grew until the association now has a genealogy room named The Carlos Surratt Room in the library. (The association) started because of Carlos Surratt and his love for genealogy and his love for people."
Johnson said the family resources have moved around some over the years, going from upstairs in the library to downstairs, and now back upstairs.
"We moved downstairs, and then we just all of a sudden had bookcases of materials, and so they moved us into our own room," she said.
Sabrina Mabe, resource assistant for the SCC library, helps manage the genealogy room as part of her duties with the library.
Most recently she's been busy inventorying what's available in the room as it has just moved into a new home on the campus.
"This is our new room, and I'm really excited about it," Mabe said.
In addition to the genealogy room, a small archive room is adjacent to the room which houses information on the Dobson Woman's Club, the Surry County Bicentennial Revolution Commission, Surry Community College items, and more.
"We are wanting to reach out to the community," Mabe said of a desire to collect old archives, minutes and items from clubs, groups and families across the county, rather than see them thrown out or destroyed.
"Dr. (David) Wright (associate dean of learning resources) is really wanting to start a digitization program," she said of the future of the archives.
Of the genealogy room, Mabe said, "Anybody can come any time and use the room for research. You just sign in downstairs."
Use of the room is free to the public, but the college does charge for copies made to offset the cost of ink and paper.
"We have people from Oregon, California, Florida … all over," she said. "But please call before you drive 1,000 miles because in the summer we have shorter hours for holidays and between sessions."
Once in the room, those interested in family backgrounds can find hundreds of books of family histories arranged in alphabetical order by the family names.
"People put these books together and then they donate a copy here," Mabe said of how the genealogy room was built up over the years. "If you have a family history like that, please donate it. Here, it's well taken care of and you can make copies of what you want."
"Over the years, we've had a lot of good writers to donate materials to go in that room, too," said Johnson.
Mabe said part of the difference in archiving and genealogy is, in archiving there's a move toward a specific way of logging items, whereas in genealogy there are no rules on how family histories and trees are written. It's just how the author decides to put it together.
In addition to the books of family histories, the room includes state records for North Carolina and other states. "Most of them are North Carolina and Virginia, but we have some for almost all the states," Mabe said.
"A lot of our families would go to Hillsville, Va., and Carroll County and get married and then some from Virginia would come here, so those records would be at those courthouses, but they are in books in (the genealogy) room, too," Johnson said. "There are clippings on weddings, deaths, births in that room. We have Civil War books, Revolutionary War books. Some of that material is valuable … they are old and probably could not be replaced, because they are sold out and may not be published anymore."
The Moravian records are included in the room. The Moravians are noted for their tedious logging of even minute details in their history records.
There are county records for all 100 in North Carolina, with the most on Surry County. There are family newsletters, church histories, new and old maps of counties and states, and census records back to 1790.
The genealogy room has a complete set of The Mount Airy News on microfilm, with the modern way of microfilming using a machine to read the film and project it onto a computer screen.
There is a subject file on numerous topics like the Allison Tree in Dobson, where people were hanged.
"Then we have general genealogy research books and how to do research," she said. "We have family files … just stuff we've collected."
Johnson said the room includes 200 of the Family Tree Maker disks.
Typically people coming to the room are looking for something specific for their family tree, said Mabe, while others who come just want to explore the plethora of information available.
"Usually when they go to the Register of Deeds, they tell them they need to come here, too," Mabe said recently. "We had a guy come in this week from Hendersonville to look through our Mercer County, Mo., book.
"There was one guy in here looking for oil rights in Texas, and if he was able to find something, he could get paid," she said. "We have people wanting to know if they have Cherokee heritage. We've had people come in who were adopted and want to learn who their biological grandparents and family are.
"But most people just want to learn about grandma and grandpa," said Mabe, who has been working as the resource assistant for six years.
In addition to the hard copies of resources, Mabe and Johnson said the Surry County Genealogical Association has a web page on the SCC library website dedicated to genealogy, http://libguides.surry.edu/genealogy.
"I want to start an oral history program, and I hope to be able to use the history department to help with that," said Mabe, of her desire to record people in the community tell the history of the area and their families. "I hope the (SCC 50th anniversary) coming up will help jump start that."
If people are new to genealogy research or don't know where to start, Mabe said she can help them get started on their research in the SCC Genealogy Room.
Also, the Surry County Genealogical Association meets the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at Surry Community College, Dobson. Visitors are welcome. Memberships cost $15 for an individual and $17 for a family each year. Members receive quarterly copies of the association journal.

New York, Milan, Paris, London — these are the cities you immediately think of when someone mentions the word "fashion." But if you look around the shops and the people in or around the 30A corridor, you might be surprised to find that South Walton has a style all its own.
Jami Ray of 30A Street Style says it's the area's rich culture that forces residents and tourists alike to step out of their vacation clothes.
"People might hang out in their bathing suits and cover ups, but events like Digital Graffiti lends itself to different attire," she said.
As a street style blogger — and let's face it, a fashion lover — Ray recognizes the distinct style of SoWal, not all of it conventional.
"You see a lot of preppy styles, oxfords and stripes," she said. "But you also see some with an edgy kind of style, a rocker vibe and laid-back beach Bohemian styles, which is fun."
While the area may lack the plethora of labels available in major metropolitan cities, Ray points out that stores have definitely taken notice to what their local customers want to wear.
"Stores like Deja Vu, Barefoot Princess/Island Clothiers Willow do a good job curating clothes that give us the feel of big cities," Ray said.
Stephanie Carter, local designer and owner of Deja Vu, chose to make South Walton home for her family and her fashion line after receiving a positive response from the community at Rosemary Beach's West Indies Market.
Carter, along with several other Walton County boutiques added local flare to last week's South Walton Fashion Week.
"It was a collaboration between Cultural Arts Alliance and Monark Events in an effort to fill a much-needed gap by placing South Walton on the fashion map and providing an opportunity for regional emerging designers to participate and elevate their burgeoning careers," said Jennifer Steele, Executive Director of Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
Lessening the guilt of materialism, the first ever South Walton Fashion Week (or #SWFW as it was regularly referred to on social media) wasn't solely about showcasing pretty clothes. While the event did include trunk shows and late night shopping, it also benefited the community by donating proceeds to the Cultural Arts Alliance.
"This area is already brimming in fashion with talented local designers living, working and creating in our backyard, not to mention an abundance of incredible boutiques reflecting true South Walton style," said Hillary Fosdyck, co-founder and event designer of Monark Events.
The long weekend event at Grand Boulevard hosted celebrities such as Mychael Knight, from "Project Runway." You can see him enter the designer's work room once again in the "Project Runway All-Stars," beginning Oct. 24. Joining Knight on the judges' panel was Cassie McConnell Kelley of the fashion blog, Womanista and singer/songwriter Holly Williams. Hosting was Heather Roop, whom some might recognize from the soap opera, "All My Children."
"Creativity and wear-ability is very important when you are a designer," said Kelly before the runway shows started. "Everything can look good on a model, but I want to feel good and look special in what I wear."
"I'm artsy-fartsy — all about the fantasy," Knight added. "When I'm judging the shows I'm going to look at the story it's telling and asking 'Is this fashion?' "
The response was so good from designers and fashion lovers alike that 2014 SWFW is already under way, giving even more proof of South Walton's good taste.
"When people hear you're from the south, they assume you don't know anything about fashion," said Knight, who hails from Atlanta. "But we had Scarlett O'Hara, and she made a beautiful dress out of curtains."
Fashion First
Alongside runway shows that featured clothes from nearby boutiques, the headliner event for South Walton Fashion Week was the competition between the emerging designers. Regional designers from
Ashlie Ming, a
"I couldn't have dreamed of a better way to share my brand with an incredible new market within the Florida Panhandle," said Ming. "All of the wonderful exposure SWFW gave me will undoubtedly help my brand expand throughout the South."

Amazon Instant Video for iOS adds AirPlay streaming
Hm. I have been toying with the idea of getting an Apple TV soon. As an Amazon Instant Video user, I was disappointed to find there would be no app for ATV. This may scratch that itch.
Can anyone comment on how well AirPlaying HD video between iPad and ATV works? In particular I'd be interested to hear about any irritations or gotchas that people have been caught off guard by.
Usually, it works flawlessly. If you're wifi is fast enough, you can get HD quality without any stuttering.
This may push me too. We use a Roku 3 which is an outstanding device. Comast, my provider, does not allow its customers to use HBO Go on the Roku. I can't complain about this enough. I hate them for that.
They do allow it through Apple TV however. I was hesitant to go that route because of no Amazon so....I do have an iPad 4 kicking around. Never had an excuse to use Airplay before.
This makes my Apple TV a million times more useful. Now I don't have to use the Roku in my bedroom when I want to watch Amazon, I can watch it on the big screen TV in the living room (where the Apple TV is).
Great update...Thank goodness for Airplay. Now just needs LTE/4G support....

Good points, Shasta! I think maybe not so much the instability of any family member should be a deciding factor, but if you have an unstable person living in your house, it's probably a good idea to really think about whether you should keep guns at home. But yes, we should stop demonizing responsible gun owners. The vast majority of gun owners will never commit a crime.
Still, it's worth thinking about the fact that many people who become criminals never purchased their guns with such an outcome in mind. In the midst of a very heated argument, when no one is thinking clearly, that is a dangerous time to have a gun within easy reach. Or after a devastating job loss. Anything like that. I imagine most people who kill a spouse, family member, friend, or even acquaintance would take it back if they could.

Randy Houser Goes Big on New Single, 'We Went': Listen (page 10)
By Philip Cosores
Randy Houser is following the biggest album of his career, 2013's How Country Feels, and new single, "We Went," sounds like the Mississippi native knows it.
Booming and larger-than-life, "We Went" is all the swagger and charisma that fans would expect out of a star reaching for new heights.
"I wanted to lead with 'We Went' as the first single from the new record because it was so different for me," Houser told Rolling Stone. "Rhythmically and lyrically it's more progressive than what I've ever done."
While Houser hasn't announced his next album, the singer will be playing large venues as part of Luke Bryan's imminent Kick the Dust Up Tour. If this song and last year's top five charting single, "Like a Cowboy," are any indicator, his days of playing as a support act may be numbered.

Hi, has anyone else been told this about pregnany and exercise?
A perinatologist I met with last week told me that it's fine to be excercising before and in the beginning while pregnant. He said that we start out pregnant with our blood pressure relatively at our "baseline". Then our blood pressure drops, and somewhere in the 2nd trimester it starts to go back up again. With normal people, it goes back to that baseline (which I never experienced because it just got all wacky out of control at that point).
So, he said that for me, when I am pregnant again, exercising is fine, but that I have to pay attention to whenever my blood pressure heads on up to the baseline...and then once it goes there (assuming it doesn't get all wacky again), I am to stop exercising until after delivery.
I guess I'm a little confused because I have heard exercise is so good for the pregnant body. But I guess it has something to do with decreased blood flow to the placenta...think I'll ask the peri for more clarification at some point when it becomes an issue.
Has anyone else been told this?
Thank you.

Crime was on the minds of concerned residents at Thursday evenings monthly neighborhood watch meeting with Officer Steve Meadows of the Moncks Corner Police Department.
About two dozen people gathered with Meadows, the departments neighborhood watch coordinator, and Lt. Mark Fields, patrol division manager, to discuss crime trends in town and some of the surrounding areas.
Meadows said there has been an increase in burglaries and larcenies from last month, but year-to-date numbers are on par with 2013, with a slight decrease in burglaries compared to the same time last year.
Meadows stressed the importance of having extra eyes and ears watching for illegal activity.
Were a small department with limited resources, so input from the community helps. We want you to tell us if you see something that doesnt belong (in your neighborhood).
But thieves can be very clever, Meadows warned, even if neighbors are diligent. He told the story of a woman whose house was robbed of everything down to the floor coverings in broad daylight.
A neighbor saw a rented truck backed up to the house and a crew emptying it of its contents. One of the thieves came to the neighbors door to present a fake business card and tell how the woman had come into a big inheritance and was buying all new furnishings. He even asked the neighbor to watch the house while he and his crew went to lunch.
They never returned and were not caught, Meadows said.
He stressed the importance of calling police even if it is unclear whether or not a crime is being committed.
Dont think youre bothering us with something little, he said. Ninety percent of our calls end up being nothing. Thats why were here, not just to lock people up, but to make sure youre safe.
The neighborhood watch meetings are held monthly at the municipal complex, 118 Carolina Ave. Contact Officer Meadows at 719-7933 or at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

The script gets the dimensions and position of a window and calls ffmpeg to record audio and video of that window. It saves it to a file named output.mkv
just deletes to rogue CR from dos files, and tr is always available.
Certain Flash video players (e.g. Youtube) write their video streams to disk in /tmp/ , but the files are unlinked. i.e. the player creates the file and then immediately deletes the filename (unlinking files in this way makes it hard to find them, and/or ensures their cleanup if the browser or plugin should crash etc.) But as long as the flash plugin's process runs, a file descriptor remains in its /proc/ hierarchy, from which we (and the player) still have access to the file. The method above worked nicely for me when I had 50 tabs open with Youtube videos and didn't want to have to re-download them all with some tool.

This works more reliable for me ("cut -c 8-" had one more space, so it did not work)
Using large wordlists is cumbersome. Using password cracking programs with rules such as Hashcat or John the ripper is much more effective. In order to do this many times we need to "clean" a wordlist removing all numbers, special characters, spaces, whitespace and other garbage. This command will covert a entire wordlist to all lowercase with no garbage.
Expand a URL, aka do a head request, and get the URL. Copy this value to clipboard.
Doesn't use shuf, its much faster with "shuf -n4" instead of sort -R
So I use OSX and don't have the shuf command. This is what I could come up with.
This command assumes /usr/share/dict/words does not surpass 137,817,948 lines and line selection is NOT uniformly random.
The first grep rejects capitalised words since the dict has proper nouns in it that you mightn't want to use. The second grep rejects words with ending in apostrophe s, and the third forces the words to be at least 15 characters long.

Watched an older Jeff Bridges movie last night "The Last Picture show", not sure if many of you have seen it but i wanted to give the man his own thread and some credit. Alot of people have jumped on the JB bandwagon because of True Grit but man he's been around for awhile and the man can flat out act! Some of my favorite Jeff Bridges movies are...
The Last Picture Show
The Last Unicorn (yeah was a voice role but movie kicked arse & needs some love lol)
Against all Odds
8 million ways to die
Tucker: The man and his dreams
Fabulous Baker Boys (with his bro)
The Fisher King (Terry Gilliam!!)
American Heart (awesome very moving flick w/ Edward Furlong)
The Vanishing
White Squall
Blown Away
Arlington Road
The Contender
Yes i left off Lebowski, True Grit, Crazy Heart & Tron and those are really great...just wanted to list some of the lesser known ones. Most of those were before he was considered "Big" to alot of people. Glad he get's the recognition he deserves now but i do feel like he was under-appreciated in the past, it's funny how people remember him as "The Dude" but not as alot of other great characters. Just my 2-cents and Kudos to you Mr. Bridges :laugh:

Words from Washington – a roundup
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Vermont Yankee appeal
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) issued the following statement after Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell filed an appeal in federal court on behalf of the state's bid to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant:
I support the decision by Vermont to appeal the flawed ruling by Judge Murtha in the Vermont Yankee litigation. I believe the law is clear that states have the right to reject nuclear power based on economic and other reasons that have nothing to do with safety.
"The Vermont Senate in a bipartisan 26-4 vote decided against renewing Vermont Yankee's license. If Vermont wants to move to energy efficiency and sustainable energy, no corporation should have the right to force our state to stay tethered to an aging, problem-ridden nuclear plant."
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) on funds for Vermont farms harmed by Irene:
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) said a fresh influx of funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA), using disaster relief funds that Leahy helped to add in November, will assist Vermont farmers whose lands were harmed by Irene.
Vermont learned Thursday that the state will receive an additional $2.56 million, more than doubling an earlier allocation of $2.18 million, for a total of $4.7 million in federal funds from the Environmental Conservation Program (ECP) to rehabilitate farmland damaged by Irene.
Landowners, individuals and communities across the nation endured major hardships because of the intensity and number of natural disasters last year, and the ECP program was severely under-funded and had a national backlog even before Hurricane Irene hit. As a senior member of both the Senate Agriculture and Appropriations panels, Leahy fought successfully after Irene to supplement the program's depleted coffers.
Leahy said, "This is important and timely news for Vermont farmers recovering from the storm's damage. USDA's Farm Service Agency in Vermont now is in a position to offer additional help. Farmers need to get this work done early in the year so they don't miss the spring planting or the early first cut on hay. FSA Director Bob Paquin and his staff have made a real difference in advocating for Vermont's farmers and in getting this job done."
ECP participants can receive cost-share assistance of up to 75 percent to implement approved emergency conservation practices required to get back to farming. ECP can pay to remove debris from farmland and farmstead property; to grade, shape, or level agricultural lands damaged by disaster; to restore permanent fences, restore structures, wells, pipelines, animal waste lagoons; and to install erosion control measures.

Nick Cabell was like a kid on Christmas morning when he walked into the gym at Mingo Central and saw some of the talented players warming up on the hard wood.
He has the pleasure of coaching this elite squad on Saturday night.
The boy's all-star teams from both West Virginia and Kentucky have been practicing the last few days for Saturday's first annual Consol Energy WV-KY All-Star game that will be played at Mingo Central High School.
The Mountain State squad is being coached by Cabell of Scott High School, while Frankie Smith, currently coaching at Sheldon Clark High School, is coaching the Bluegrass squad.
"I've been coaching against many of these players for four or five years. I'm really excited to have them on the same sideline with me," Cabell said with a broad smile. "I'm familiar with most of them and their abilities."
Cabell said he had contacted all of the players and they completely agreed that they wanted to run-and-gun. "We plan to get up and down the floor," he said. "But, we have the size, so if we need to pound it inside, we can do that too."
"This should be fun for the players and the fans," Cabell added. "I'm proud that we have been able to get kids from this part of southern West Virginia. They are a great group of young men that are not only good basketball players, but good students."
Two players from the nationally ranked Huntington Prep school are playing for the West Virginia squad. They are Carlos Arroyo, who is from Puerto Rico, and Williams Otor Gabriel, who hails from Nigeria. Both have received several Division One scholarship offers.
Cabell will be bringing his top senior, Matt Dolan, a Class AA All-State selection at Scott High School.
Also traveling down Corridor G is Kanawha Valley all-state selection Luke Eddy of George Washington, one of the state's top scorers. He has signed to play D-1 at Elon College. Cody Morris of Herbert Hoover, a 6-8 post player, is also making the drive down.
MacKenzie Martin, the talented 3-time All-Stater from Chapmanville Regional, is also playing for West Virginia. He is joined by his Tiger teammate Michael Hurst.
Mingo Central seniors Austin Banks and Marqus Cunningham are also on the roster. Banks was an All-State selection and Cunningham gives the team some added size.
Lincoln County's T. J. Arbaugh is also on the W.Va. team, Tolsia's Austin Brewer and Terry Davis, who helped the Rebels to the state tournament in March, will also play for Cabell's talented squad.
The squad W.Va. squad has a lot of size which includes Arroyo who is 6-9, Brewer at 6-7, Morris 6-8, Cunningham 6-5 and Martin 6-4.
The Kentucky squad does not have as much size, but they have some big-time scorers.
"I am very excited to be coaching the Kentucky all-star team. This game is a great opportunity for the seniors from each state to showcase their talents one last time. We have a talented group to young men that are ready to compete," Smith said.
Smith's squad includes three starting guards for the Belfry Pirates, Josh Robinson, Sean Hurley and Brett Charles are on the roster. Both are known for their 3-point shooting. Hurley is a new addition from the previous roster that was released.
Also joining the Ky. squad will be 6-5 Tony Messer. The former Belfry Pirate will be attending Eastern Kentucky University on a football scholarship. He adds needed size to Smith's team.
Ray Kasonga, a 6-6 post player from Pikeville, has also been added to the Bluegrass squad.
Dalton Cornette, a 6-7 forward-center from Perry County Central, is the tallest player on the Ky. team.
Chase Kirk, who helped lead Sheldon Clark to a great showing in the regional tournament, is also on the Ky. roster. Another great long distance shooter, Ethan Rowe, who averaged 22 ppg. for the Pikeville Panthers, is also on the squad.
Four players form Boyd County will be playing on the team. They included Austin Hunt, Brandon Taylor, Todd Stacy and Stefano Vaghi. Colton Hall of Lewis County rounds out the team.
There will be some midget league all-star games played before the high school games featuring youngsters from the Delbarton and Gilbert Midget League programs. Those will start around 1 p.m.
The girls' all-star game will start at 5:30 p.m. It will be followed by a female version of the 3-point contest, then the men's 3-point competition. That will be followed by a crowd favorite – the dunk contest.
The men's game is slated to start at approximately 7:30 p.m.
