Though some employees at various retail stores around Aiken looked pretty tired, there were still a lot of smiles as they helped hundreds of customers coming through their doors Friday.
Many store managers around the city said this Black Friday was quite a success. Starting as early as 8 p.m. Thursday evening, shoppers hit the stores hoping to find some great deals.
Sears was one of the stores open Thursday, and it had long lines stretching out into the parking lot at both entrances.
Target, which opened at 9 p.m. Thursday, had a line of enthusiastic shoppers wrapped around the building before it opened. They stayed very busy until about 2 a.m., according to Senior Team Leader Ivory Jackson. It was quiet later that morning but employees were ready for another wave of customers later in the day.
"I think they (customers) were pretty happy," Jackson said Friday morning. "We had some great sales on electronics and TVs. We had a lot of door busters."
Jackson said shoppers were picking up items that they didn't even realize they wanted until they saw them on the shelves.
"That's what Black Friday does," Jackson said.
Some stores in the Aiken Mall, like Books-A-Million, opened at midnight. Customers were grateful for the opportunity to buy some coffee to stay energized throughout the night as they hopped from store to store.
"There was a line out the door ready for the cafe," said Lloyd Nieto, Books-A-Million customer service specialist. "It's been steady."
While some enjoyed the extra hours of shopping, others weren't too thrilled with stores opening Thursday night rather than early Friday morning.
"It kind of takes the fun out of it," said shopper Debby Jordan of Aiken. "Rushing from store to store is what makes it fun."
Jordan was shopping with her daughter-in-law Ashley Rickard who said the crowds did seem tamer than last year and, despite the crazy hours, they were enjoying the sales.
She brought her 3-year-old daughter Ashton later that morning so she could experience the shopping event of the year for the first time.
"We've kind of made it a family tradition," Rickard said, smiling.
Other stores stuck with the more traditional Black Friday hours like JCPenney. The last few Black Fridays were a bit disappointing, according to JCPenney Store Manager Kristin Flake, but this year was different. The store opened at 6 a.m. and there was a line at each entrance, she said.
"It went fantastic, and sales are doing great," Flake said.
Many Aiken County residents were out and about Thursday night and all day Friday, but there were quite a few people from out of town.
Terry Albright, of Virginia, was sitting on a bench at the Aiken Mall as he waited for his wife. They were in Aiken visiting family and decided to take advantage of the Black Friday sales that afternoon.
"We've had easy access," Albright said. "I think we beat the crowd."
Cindy Gosnell, her daughter Kayla and other family members came from Hampton to shop in Aiken. They typically go to Savannah but stopped here instead.
"It's a lot less hectic and a lot more quiet," Kayla said.
Michelle Moten of Barnwell met up with family members in Aiken for Black Friday around 6 a.m. She said she typically comes to Aiken to do her holiday shopping.
"It's fun with family and friends," Moten said. "There have been some very good deals."

Introducing Abu Zar al-Burmi
For the November edition of the Jamestown Foundation's Militant Leadership Monitor (MLM), I have written what is probably the first publicly available English-language profile of Abu Zar al-Burmi, the mufti of the Waziristan-based Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The MLM is only available via paid subscription, so you'll have to be a subscriber to read the full text of my article.
Many of you Urdu speakers have heard Abu Zar's voice before. He is the jihadi cleric debating with a counterpart from the Pakistani military in an audio recording that has spread on the Internet.
Abu Zar represents the most radical elements of Pakistan's jihadi landscape. He and his ilk are unlikely to ever negotiate a peace with the Pakistani government. And the Pakistani government, military, and public must contend with the fact that peace talks will not end the war for some of the country's anti-state jihadists.
Abu Zar says that his goal is shariah ya shahadat (Islamic law or martyrdom). He will fight to the death. Abu Zar seeks a pure Islamic state. He says that not even a 99% Islamic state will suffice. For him, even Quaid-e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was a kafir (infidel).
One final interesting tidbit: Abu Zar is a Pakistani national of Burmese ancestry who is the leading cleric for a jihadist group founded in Uzbekistan, but now based in Pakistan's Waziristan. His background is truly an example of globalization — but, given the IMU's viciousness, of its ugliest sort.

iOS 7 wants: Better App Store search usability
With iOS 6, Apple has totally changed the way search results appear in the on-device App Store app. With the old App Store search, five results were immediately visible in a list view, and you could vertically scroll or flick quickly through large amounts more. With the new iOS 6 App Store search, only one result is visible at a time, and you whether you scroll or flick, you only ever get one result more at a time. And that's not good.
If you're searching for something specific, like "Tweetbot", it won't mean much because the first result will likely be the right one, so you only need that first result. If you're searching for something more general, like a game made by Electronic Arts, but you can't remember the name, the degradation is severe. You're presented with 1 possibility instead of 5. That's an 80% loss in information density. Ironically, the new 16:9 aspect ration of the iPhone 5 would have allowed for even more search results in the list view, 6 in total. Instead, with the new iOS 6 App Store search, we still get 1. Only longer. That's an 83.33% loss in information density.
Worse, both cards and the way they're implemented deliberately make the search interface slower. With the old App Store list view interface, you could touch and slowly scroll through results, or flick and rapidly scroll through them. So, if you didn't remember an app's name but did vaguely remember its icon, you could quickly skim for it. Or you could quickly skim until the icon, title, or anything caught your eye. With the iOS 6 App Store's card-based search, Apple has made the physics such that no matter how slowly or quickly you scroll or flick, you can only ever get to the next result. No more fast skimming. So now, even if you know the icon or some element of the title or data you're looking for, you're forced to go through one app at a time, every time, to get there. The interface has essentially gone from walk/run to forced walk.
The new card view interface does show an app screenshot in the results, but it's arguable whether or not that additional information increases identification and discoverability or just creates extra noise to visually parse. (That likely depends on the content and context of the screenshots, but until Apple allows them to be video, they'll always be of limited value.)
To get an idea of how badly the metaphor works for search in the App Store, all we have to do is extrapolate it to Google search. Imagine typing a search term into Google and instead of a page full of web results, you got a card showing one page. Currently, if the result you needed was #17, it's on the second page. With the card interface, it would be on the 17th page.
Apple could explore metaphors like this for the fast app switcher, where webOS has shown that the visualization of content makes sense. In App Store search, it just borders on the absurd.
So how could Apple fix it? An option to toggle between new-style card view and old-style list view could be a good compromise. To avoid an extra setting or button, Apple could also simply present the list view in portrait mode and the card view in landscape mode, where at least more than one app could be seen at a time. That would also match the behavior seen in the Music app with CoverFlow.
Taking it one step further, Apple could implement the portrait interface they use for app categories and present a few horizontal list views. The first could present search results filtered by keyword relevance, the second by rating, the third by how many "friends" have the app, the fourth by recency of release, etc. So, for example, a search for "Twitter" could result in the official Twitter for iPhone app showing up first for relevancy, Tweetbot first for friends who have the app, and Flurry for most recent.
While that could add complexity, it would at least be balanced by the options presented -- "I just want a Twitter app" vs. "What Twitter app are my friends using?" vs. "I want to try a different Twitter app, which are the newest?"
If Apple's going to use the mixed vertical and horizontally scrolling pages anyway, they might as well use it to enhance sorting.
The iOS 6 App Store did not come gently into this world. The betas were fraught with strange behavior, some of which did not get fixed prior to release. The combination of vertical and horizontal scrolling elements in the app can be quirky and off-putting to navigate. Purchased lists sometimes don't display and when they do, the scrolling and touch events are janky. Search algorithms, reportedly now using technology from Apple's Chomp acquisition, have changed repeatedly.
For an app so important to Apple, developers, and users, it's a pain, and it's something that needs some considered, usability-focused attention from Apple. And soon.

iOS 7 wants: Better App Store search usability
is it me or is Apple starting to show missteps they would have never done under Steve Jobs. This is one example. Maps is another ( although I think the Hype is over blown). Take the new lightning connector as a perfect example. It's one thing to say we had to change connectors because we're moving forward sorry you have to pay another 30$ ( strike 1 but there';s been way worse things done by companies to their customers) but how the hell do you not have the converters not on sale for another month !!!!! A month of my car charger/fM tuner being useless, a month of my dock being useless, a month of my stereo speakers being useless ! Come on apple, you know better
Agree that this in the main is worse than before and Apple need to think again but to suggest it has something to do with the death of Steve just saddens me.
On the new connector. Of course it would have made sense to have the adaptors available at launch and I'm sure Apple would have preferred to take peoples cash on launch day. But you buy the new phone and then complain after that you can't use certain accessories. Really? Nobody made you buy the phone - that was your choice.
We have started an online petition for this. If many people sign up, we can make Apple change their mind and improve the App Store than destroying it like they did :/
You guys can join in and I think we can make a difference.
You guess right. Do that more often.
What annoys me is the constant non-admission by some people that Apple's miscues are no big deal--especially when the company brags about excellence in everything they do.
Why would constructive criticism be annoying? How would companies develop better software if no one brings up the flaws in its current offerings?
Rene made a criticism and followed up with a great suggestion on improving the user experience. I don't think many people would see that as annoying.
Good article. I don't agree with all your nitpicks, but this one seems like a daft way to implement search.
Hopefully as you have gazillions of readers apple may keep an eye out for this stuff and maybe take on board. This app search does get on my nerves. Infact I preferred the old App Store view. IMHO
i totally second the sentiment of this article. The app store was broke but this made it worse. I'd disagree that it looks better but that's a tiny point. Regardless the changes are like coverflow with no other options and i never use coverflow. Why? Cause big long lists are actually really useful.
And you brought up "discoverability." This new app store is totally not better in that area. In fact I now almost never look for anything new because I simply don't have the time to scroll one by one though single random apps. And i'm sure that doesn't help developers. Even the redesign is cumbersome and illogical with all the horizontal and vertical scrolling, and banners. It's like a poorly designed webpage with buttons everywhere rather then all on top and on the left side. I now use the desktop itunes almost exclusively simply because it shows much more information.
+1. I feel as if general search has been rendered completely useless with this change. As a consumer, it is frustrating not to be able to simply type "HTML editor" and flick through the results. I imagine as an a developer, trying to get your app noticed, the change would be infuriating. Hope they at least give us a "list view" option soon.
I really do hope that someone at Apple reads these blogs.
More and more I am starting to believe that iOS 6 is the most flawed iOS released to date.
I hate to even think about it, but are these signs of "post-Jobs" Apple?
Same people are working on it now as then...
And on the iPad 3, the "Purchased" list scrolls really slowly when your finger is on the screen, but is fine once you flick and let go, the blue highlights update in weird blocks, and tapping an item gives you no way to read and write reviews, so a huge step backwards compared to iOS 5. Also, searching loads cards in batches of 25, which is stupid because in portrait, it displays results in 2 columns, and in landscape in 3... so why not load in batches of 24 which is divisible by both and doesn't look bad when you scroll too far? On the iPhone 5, why not use the extra card space for a snippet of description or another screenshot?
In all I agree. The new AppStore is an eyesore.
I think that many of these gripes are felt more strongly by long-time iOS users who are accustomed to the old way. I think the Cards interface is more friendly to casual users and older people.
The only change I really really HATE is how the "update all" button is on the top LEFT corner of the iOS 6 App Store on iPad. It's has always been the top RIGHT in previous editions and on the iPhone. A tiny tiny change that bugs me every day for no good reason.
i'd disagree in that i'm new to ios, but i have observed the discussion about searching the apps store and problems with developers not being able to get their apps scene, how the same apps are always at the top, etc. So i don't think long time ios users were all that enamored with the old way.
I seem to be in the minority here. I like the new AppStore. I also like the new search.
Searching for a app in iOS 5 meant that as a developer I was reliant on having a pretty app icon and a catchy name. As a customer all I was able to see was a list of icons and while its easy to touch a app to see more I feel that my searches and time are much more efficient with iOS 6. I'm able to see a screenshot and know right away if I would be interested. I'll give you an example. Searching for a ToDo app, there's a ton; but but being able to scroll through them in iOS 6 allows me to keep moving past the ones I care nothing for rather than picking one that has a nice icon and being disappointed one I went in further.
I can see where developers are a little concerened about being ble to get there app out there now but in truth this may just lead to better apps for all of us. I really don't think that people are going to stop searching and discovering apps because if this change. What I do think is going to happen is that you'll be able to weed out the BS apps quickly and keep scrolling till you find one that suits what your looking for. Then you'll go into the app to find out more and purchase.
Well written article Rene but I repectfully disagree with most of its points.
Catchy names and icons still are good, but now the best UI screenshot wins, or rather the app that games the app store search engine best wins. If the app is at or near the top of the search results, it will win. I would wager that the new search results layout would actually make it *worse* in that very few people would read 80 different app descriptions.
Ever since I upgraded to IOS6, I have been using the App Store less. I agree with Rene, the new AppStore is terrible. It is also so frustrating how SLOW the store loads icons, and the scrolling fells like I am using an android peac of crap.
The fact of the matter is, every blog/forum has at lease one resident douche bag. 9thWonder is ours. The fact that he has his head shoved so far up his rear means you will never be able to argue logically with him. 9thWonder is a legend in his own mind. Simply let this lonely, small minded, 30-something, know-it-all-wannabe, speak his mind, and don't give him the time of day.
You know what they say? Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Great article, I completely agree with all your points.
Also, I have a 4th generation iPod Touch and the App store takes FOREVER to load and whenever i try to search something it crashes. I don't know if its just me but the App Store crashes so much I just don't even bother trying to find new apps anymore.
I like the changes. I think people are just complaining over everything. If you don't like it move to Samsung...
And supposedly, Steve Jobs was working on iPhone 5, not 4S, but iPhone 5... maybe they had planned the change for a while. No way they created it in just one year.
I hate that I cannot view new apps by release date. I think this new layout will decrease the sales of apps over all. I know for me, I will buy a lot less since I there is not a easy way to see what the new apps are by release date. Said for developers, good for my wallet. Hopefully this will change
My iOS 6 gripe you can't share reminders now: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/241074-how-world-do-i-share-reminder...
Since updating to ios6, can't access purchased apps anymore on both the iPhone & new iPad. App crashes after about a minute, think it could that I have about 1200 apps, given the problem about 2 weeks to apple genius dude, still waiting to hear, anyone have this problem.
Since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4 my Settings app has crashed multiple times. Also, when I go into General > Restrictions, the display is sometimes distorted and unresponsive and I have to go out and go back in. Many apps stopped working (even after iOS6 updates) and had to be deleted and re-installed.
Really hope they bring out an update soon.
i have an iphone and ipad2 that were working just fine until i upgraded to ios 6. now i cant get the itune or the app store to load. after 2 days and about 7 hours up backing up reloading and a complete factory restart i still have the same issues on both. i am so frustrated and sorry i ever upgraded. apple sent me a survey to do. i let them have it but good. i wonder if they have the guts to contact me and respond to my concerns.
this is Ouriel from Appsfire.
We ve just finished a brand new search engine for apps (in addition to our app discovery solutions). It is in private beta. Please shoot me an email, i d like to give you a preview. I am nearly convinced it will surprise you
There is even one more serious defect of the new App Store search on device. After you go beyond the first 25, some results were repeated more than once. And I double checked they were the same apps. Totally insane.
I LOVE the new app store search!! I'm SOO glad Rene doesn't work for Apple!
The new App Store Sucks...
Apple's new 25 app return limit when doing a search is a joke! I did a search using the word "Mail" and this returned 1,655 search results but I can only view the first 25! This does not mean I can view 25 then click next to view the next 25 and so on.. noooo This means that I can only view the first 25 apps no more no less! Here's another problem with the search results.. Some of the apps returned are not even "Mail" apps! This tells me that if someone includes "Mail" as a Meta keyword it will return that App in your search result even if it has nothing to do with being a Mail App!
Here's another problem.. I own an IPAD2 and IPhone5.. If I download an app on my IPAD it automatically loads the same app on my IPhone. I haven't checked to see if this feature can be turned off but in my opinion it should've never been turned on by default!
One more thing... Why would you put the headphone jack in the same location where you dock? This means that the docking station will need to add a headphone jack input if you want to listen to your music privately while at work and your phone is charging.
Who was the brain child on this new IOS? Is this what Apple users have to look forward to?
I'm not a bitter apple user but I am puzzled about what's going on with this once great product.
IT goes to show how valuable Steve Job was, is and will always be.
Let say you have a 100 search result.
You just wanne check the first 15 or so.
That is 15! swipes already...
Then you come to the conclusion: neh, i liked the first or second search result.
And there you go, swiping back again
About 30 swipes to just browse and select your choice.
Come on, which UI apple-expert has approved that???
And what is up with the un-real sliding effect, one swipe, and no scrolling, but just a slow response of the gui of one record to the left.
Is the genuine apple UI department on holiday leave and some 15year old wiZkid took over?
5 > 6
Renee, please take a look at the newest version of Appsfire. We have introduced a new breakthrough search experience into our app. Appsfire has a consistent 5 stars rating and we'd love you to try it. Many reviews say it is clearly the best app search out there
Great post! i thought i was doing something wrong and there would be a option to go back to the list view. Sadly this is how it looks like and its crap crap crap! i cant believe Apple released something as bad as this. I'm seriously ashemed. As you say its a pain to go page by page, it takes ages and i personally loose interest. I notice how much LESS i visit the appstore and buy stuff now.
Before i visited almost each night and sometimes bought a good deal now i just dont bother, the new design is killing the experience and is a pain.
I'd also like to be able to sort results, such as by rating or price. I don't want to have to flip through 157 results, trying to figure out which ones seem the best to try (my current problem). Looking through iTunes on the computer is even worse, since I'd have to click on each one to see its ratings. So what does Apple want me to do, just pick the one with the prettiest icon?? This is so not functional.
The iTunes Store needs to be more user friendly. After all Apple has been so secessful because of this principle. I have created an app called iLinks for the iOS platform which search the iTunes Store based on your profile, which you create after downloading it. If anyone downloads iLinks I would like feed back from users. It's my goal to make iLinks the best way to search through the iTunes Store. You can email feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com and like us on Facebook and twitter. Thank you Michael.

"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"love, love, love the way this card turned out! we've received lots of compliments on it. stop reading this and order it already!! :D"
"Loved this card. Took a selfie with my reluctant family and managed to get New Year's Cards out by 12/31 - thanks to the speed and quality of Tiny Prints."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"I am a first time customer that decided to use Tinyprints for my 2015 New Year holiday card. The quaility of the paper, and design choices impressed me as an artist. I researched hours of competitive sites like Tinyprints but none had all the bells and whistles that I was looking for such as: good pricing, choices of designs and layouts, the ease of creating a card, and helpful design team to check your photocard before printing. The finish product was beautiful and professional quaility than any print shop in my town. My photo cards came out perfect and people adored my New Year card of my son! Awesome customer service and quick shipping in time to mail out to family and friends!!! I am planning on the next order...birthday invitations from Tinyprints!! Thank you Tinyprints!!"

Sacred strings: Toledo couple seeks to preserve steel guitar traditionWritten by Jay Hathaway | | email@example.com
A Toledo man is pursuing his dream of preserving and promoting a musical tradition.
Del Ray Grace, along with his wife, Kelli, founded Sacred Strings Records in 2009. The goal of the group, which was incorporated as a nonprofit in August, is to promote a community called sacred steel, a long line of African-American lap and pedal steel guitar players originating from an Alabama church in the early 1900s.
The couple has turned their finished basement into a veritable museum of sacred steel artifacts and recordings.
Sacred steel can be traced to Mary Magdalena Lewis "Mother" Tate, born Mary Lena Street, who founded the Church of the Living God, the Pillar and Ground of the Truth in Greenville, Ala., in 1903. After her death, the church was split into three "dominions" — the Lewis, the Keith and the Jewell — named after the bishops, or overseers, of different territories.
The sacred steel tradition was born when Troman Eason, a member of the Keith Dominion, heard a man playing a Hawaiian steel guitar in Philadelphia. Eason was fascinated with the instrument and learned to play. He also taught others, including his younger brother Willie. Both joined Bishop J.R. Lockley's traveling gospel group and soon the steel guitar craze made its way to the Jewell Dominion as well.
Willie Eason shifted from the Hawaiian style of play to one that resembled African-American vocalists and was not unlike blues guitar, Del said. From there, the style traveled organically through several generations.
"Willie was a singer, but he started mimicking voices with single string notes," he said. "What's amazing to me is that these guys didn't go through the schooling or learn music theory, but they had a natural gift and, like any other tradition, it was passed on orally and it started to develop."
Del grew up attending a Jewell Dominion church, where he said everyone learned to play some instrument. His was the steel guitar.
"Other churches have keyboards or pianos mostly. Steel guitar was always the predominant instrument for us," he said. "It's commonplace; we've been doing this for a long time. Chances are, when you find an African-American guy playing one of these steel guitars, he probably comes from one of these churches, directly or indirectly."
Del said the Keith Dominion alone may have as many as 800 steel guitar players throughout the United States today. The most well-known of them, Robert Randolph, has recorded several albums with Warner Bros. Though Randolph and his band began by performing gospel, they eventually included some secular music, which is something the church had discouraged during the early years.
"This music was never represented in the mainstream," Del said. "[The church] thought if it got out of their control, it would be compromised by secular artists, and they wanted to keep it sacred and holy. So, not many people ever record it. The church knew the music was different and special, and they wanted to keep and protect it. I don't know what the world was like 60 years ago, but I know today there are ways to protect your music. You can start a record label like I did, and — for lack of a better word — control it and record who you want to on it. You can't keep music like this quiet."
Del said the mission of Sacred Strings is to establish Toledo as the mecca of sacred steel music and its history — to give it a home — as well as to record more artists within the community.
"You've got guys playing in all these different cities, but there's nowhere to go to just enjoy the history of it all," he said. "We're not the first ones to record this music, but we're the first ones to develop it and incorporate it into a record label."
Kelli believes Sacred Strings plays a vital role in teaching current and future generations about the past of steel guitars.
"It's a way for us to gather all these musicians together and honor them, to preserve that history. It's an opportunity for everyone to come together," she said.
The couple said they plan to release a photo book at some point featuring some of the sacred steel legends. Del said he would also like to display their collection in a more public venue.
"If we can just get a room inside of a place, we could get it started," he said.
Del and Kelli decided a few years ago that broadcasting to the public would be a good way to get the word out about Sacred Strings Records.
The couple started with a Sunday morning broadcast from a Detroit AM radio station, but in September they decided to upgrade to the next level with a television show. "The Best of Sacred Steel TV" now airs every Friday at 9 p.m. on Buckeye Cable System's public access channel 69. The show, also available on YouTube, is hosted by the Graces and broadcast out of a studio in their basement.
In addition to the TV show, CDs and DVDs, Del and Kelli also play in a live band, The Amazing Grace Praise Band. Del plays the steel guitar, Kelli offers vocals and spoken word, her brother Jay Caver plays six-string guitar, Del Ray Grace Jr. plays bass and Chris Pope plays drums. The band has also featured several vocalists. Kelli said the band has had to turn down some gigs, once because a venue owner liked the music, but wanted them to leave out the message.
"They wanted us to play, but they didn't want us to sing anything about Jesus," she said.
Del then added, "We've got jobs, we're not struggling, so we're not going to do that. Jesus is the foundation of our lives. If you can't have that, you can't have us."
The couple hosts an annual sacred steel showcase every year, as well. The next is planned for Aug. 23-24 at Mays Chapel United Holy Church, 1201 S. Byrne Road.
Del said he and Kelli will continue to find new ways to spread the sacred steel message, and bring others in to share the experience of the community.
"It's been a great ride and a great learning experience," Del said.

When it rains it pours.
Among the plant identification requests we got recently here in the Herbarium, there were three separate questions about this very odd plant. I can't quite figure out if it is suddenly being noticed now, for some reason, or if it really is a recent introduction, establishing itself quickly. I'm inclined to go with the first idea.
This plant is placed by botanists in what we call the "mulberry" family (or Moraceae), which, sure enough, contains the familiar mulberries (species of the genus Morus). The mulberry family is a large group, containing many thousands of additional species, most of which are woody (tree or shrubs) and found in the tropics. There are some important tropical tree members yielding timber, and of course, everyone knows of figs (the genus Ficus, with nearly 1,000 different species!). Those of you who are fans of "Mutiny on the Bounty" will remember the poor little breadfruit plants that got tossed overboard: breadfruit is another tropical species (Arctocarpus altilis…neither a fig nor a mulberry) --with edible fruits-- in the mulberry family.
But our Mystery plant is neither mulberry, fig, nor breadfruit. This is a pretty darn strange plant for our area, introduced from eastern Asia. It is potentially a tree, although most often it is seen as a shrub. Large individuals can attain considerable size. It has hard, tough wood, and its roots are rather yellowish. Of particular interest will be the very stout thorns that are produced on some branches: they can be dangerous. The leaves are handsome, dark green and glossy. The plants are either male or female...that is, bearing either staminate or pistillate flowers...not both. (The term, of course, for such a species is "dioecious".) Whether male or female, the flowers are small and inconspicuous, held in little roundish balls in the spring. In the fall, the female flowers' ovaries swell into a fleshy mass, which takes on a sort of strawberry appearance, eventually turning red or orange. When the fruit gets ripe and mushy, it's ready to eat. (I've never tried it.)
The leaves, thorns, and fruits that are produced by our mysterious plant might make you think of another mulberry-ish relative, the reasonably common "Osage-orange" (which is placed in yet another genus, Maclura). Osage-orange, however, is normally a smaller plant, with smaller leaves, and it produces a large, green, globose fruit, that looks sort of like a brain. As long as you have the fruits of both species, so characteristic of each, you won't have any trouble telling the two apart. (Without the fruits, though, you might need to enlist the aid of your friendly local botanist.)
Our Mystery Plant has been valued as a hedge plant, and because of its dense growth and the formidable thorns, it makes a very fine "living fence". But before you go out and try to start planting some of it, be aware that it SPREADS easily, forming sprouts all over the place. Getting rid of this thing, once it is out of control, can be difficult. And then there are those thorns. It might be best to stick with something else for landscaping. Something that affords a better tree-house
Answer: "Strawberry tree," Cudrania tricuspidata]

The Summerville basketball teams are still in the driver's seat, but things are heating up in Region 8-AAAA.
Both Green Wave teams clinched at least a share of their respective region titles with a win last week. However both need to take care of business this week if they want sole ownership of the region crown and, more importantly, the top playoff seeding for their region.
The Summerville girls picked up a win in Bluffton Friday to improve to 17-5 with an 8-0 mark in region play. Kwanza Murray scored a game-high 22 points to lead the Lady Green Wave to a 61-32 victory. Zuri Green added 11 points while Rodnesha Capers, Tinara Brown, Heather Chapman, Chelsi Anderson, Gabrielle Stewart and Ashley Green also scored for Summerville.
The victory left Summerville needing to win one of its two games this week in order to claim the region championship outright. Both Colleton County and Ashley Ridge carried a 6-2 region record into play this week so if Summerville was upset in its game with the Lady Swamp Foxes that was played after press time Tuesday then the Wave will need to either defeat Fort Dorchester Thursday or get help from Colleton in the form of a Lady Cougar win over Ashley Ridge Friday in order to secure the region's No. 1 seed.
The Summerville boys suffered their first region loss of the season Friday as Bluffton upset the Wave 68-60. Brandon Wilkerson led the Summerville attack with 22 points while both John Jenkins and Christian Kalacanic also scored in double digits. Timmy Singleton, Chris McKinnion and Issiah Kinloch also scored for the Wave. However, Bluffton also had three players post double figures.
With the loss, Summerville fell to 17-5 with a 7-1 mark in the region. Fort Dorchester and Bluffton both carried a 5-3 region record into play this week so that left the Summerville boys also needing one win in its final two regular-season games to secure the top playoff seed.
On Tuesday, Summerville had the opportunity to claim the prize as it took on Ashley Ridge after press time. If the Swamp Foxes (12-9, 3-5) spoiled Summerville's opportunity, the Wave will have another chance as they take on Fort Dorchester in North Charleston Thursday.
The Patriots and the Bobcats faced off Tuesday in another key region game played after press time.

This combination medication is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is believed to be due to a lack of an important chemical (dopamine) in the brain. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, leading to the relief of Parkinson's disease symptoms. Both carbidopa and entacapone are given with levodopa to increase the amount of levodopa that is converted into dopamine.
Take this medication by mouth exactly as prescribed. Do not increase the dose or take more frequently without consulting your doctor.
Take only one tablet for each dose. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet. Doing so may cause you to get the wrong dose and also cause staining of the mouth, dentures, and saliva. See also Side Effects section.
It is best to avoid a high protein diet (decreases the amount of levodopa that your body takes in) during treatment, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Separate your dose of this medication as many hours as possible from any iron supplements or products containing iron (such as multivitamins with minerals) you may take. Iron can reduce the amount of carbidopa and levodopa available to the body. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, previous drug therapy, response to therapy, and side effects if they occur.
Some patients may experience a "wearing-off" (worsening of symptoms) before the next dose is due. An "on-off" effect might also occur, in which sudden short periods of stiffness occur. If these effects occur, contact your doctor for possible dose adjustments that may help to lessen this effect.
Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day.
If symptoms worsen while using this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, stomach upset, loss of appetite, dry mouth, or difficulty sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
This medication may cause the saliva, urine, or sweat to turn a dark color. This is harmless; however, it may discolor clothing.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Some people taking this medication have fallen asleep suddenly during their usual daily activities (such as talking on the phone, driving). In some cases, sleep occurred without any feelings of drowsiness beforehand. This sleep effect may occur anytime during treatment with this medication, including up to 1 year after starting the medication. If you experience increased sleepiness or fall asleep during the day, do not drive or take part in other possibly dangerous activities until you have discussed this effect with your doctor. Your risk of this sleep effect is increased by using alcohol or other medications that can make you drowsy. See also Precautions section.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: involuntary movements (especially twitching of the eyelid), fainting or falling, difficulty swallowing, stomach/abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, vision changes (including blurred vision), black/tarry stools, muscle pain, change in the amount of urine, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, hallucinations, thoughts of suicide), signs of infection (e.g., persistent sore throat), unusual strong urges (such as increased gambling, increased sexual urges).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest pain.
Abruptly stopping or reducing the dose of this medication may rarely cause a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Get medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms: fever, unusual muscle stiffness, severe confusion, sweating, fast/irregular heartbeat, rapid breathing.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, glaucoma, breathing problems, heart disease (especially history of heart attack), kidney disease, ulcers, mental/mood disorders (e.g., depression, schizophrenia), blood disorders, sleep disorders.
To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. See also Side Effects section.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
Levodopa passes into breast milk. It is unknown if carbidopa or entacapone pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
See also How to Use section.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: antipsychotic drugs (such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, thioridazine), certain drugs to treat high blood pressure (such as methyldopa, reserpine), tetrabenazine.
Taking MAO inhibitors with this medication may cause a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction. Avoid taking MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, tranylcypromine) during treatment with this medication. Most MAO inhibitors should also not be taken for two weeks before treatment with this medication. However, certain MAO inhibitors (rasagiline, selegiline) may be used with careful monitoring by your doctor. Ask your doctor when to start or stop taking this medication.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products that cause drowsiness including alcohol, antihistamines (such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine), drugs for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants (such as carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine), and narcotic pain relievers (such as codeine, hydrocodone ).
Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including urine catecholamine/glucose/ketone tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: severe dizziness, irregular or fast heartbeat, increased blinking/eyelid spasms (blepharospasms).
Do not share this medication with others.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., liver function tests, eye exams) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
People with Parkinson's disease may have an increased risk for developing skin cancer (melanoma). Tell your doctor promptly if you notice a change in the appearance or size of moles or other unusual skin changes. Ask your doctor if you should have regular skin exams.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

The Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department plans to spend $2.2 million on marketing local beaches between March and September.
Okaloosa County commissioners approved the marketing strategy last week.
"This is a framework with which we wish to move forward and deploy funds," Dan O'Byrne, director of the tourist development department, told the board. "I say it is a framework because every one of the individual action items will have to … percolate up through the county's procurement procedures."
The annual marketing strategy is one of the new requirements imposed by commissioners after discovering former tourism head Mark Bellinger's fraud scheme last May.
The 2013 plan was drafted in the past 60 days by the county's new advertising agency, Peter Mayer Advertising.
"The objectives for this year … are to get (Okaloosa County) back in the market," said Ellen Kempner, vice president of Peter Mayer. "You've been out of the market from a competitive communications standpoint for 10 months."
County officials halted most tourism promotions and marketing initiatives after Bellinger's thefts were uncovered.
Kempner said the top priority is to market Okaloosa Island and Destin as top destinations during the peak and shoulder seasons.
During the peak summer season, Peter Mayer Advertising will target adults between the ages of 25 and 64 who have annual incomes of $55,000 and up and an interest in traveling, fishing, shopping, beaches and restaurants.
The agency plans to market the area across the Southeast, as far west as Texas and as far north as Ohio.
During the area's four shoulder seasons — January to February, April to May, September to October and November to December — the agency will target senior citizens and adults between the ages of 25 and 54 who don't have children.
The plan also calls for using $500,000 to market Okaloosa Island and Destin as a top leisure travel destination; $250,000 to sell the area to the group and meetings industry; $350,000 to revamp the county's tourism websites; $80,000 on consumer research and $375,000 to promote the area as a Christmas destination.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles said he was pleased with new marketing strategy.
"I saw a surprising amount of cohesion in the plan that's coming together. … And that's something that's been lacking in our entire approach to marketing," he said.

For 18 years, Richard Gruber and his family have traveled to Summerville every Saturday morning , starting in spring, to sell the fruits of their labor. Literally, Gruber is a farmer and his family sells the fruits and vegetables they raise on their farm in St. George at the Summerville Farmer's Market.
Every Saturday morning beginning in early March, farmers and vendors sell their produce and wares along W. Doty Avenue in Summerville. Yet the event is much more than a market to sell but a gathering of friends and neighbors who find time to chat between picking ripe cantaloupes and eating boiled peanuts.

Elizabeth had always dreamed of her wedding day. She imagined a tall, dark, and handsome prince sweeping her off of her feet to live happily ever after (after a honeymoon in Europe, of course).
She met her match, Mike, at an old-fashioned candy store while Christmas shopping. They both reached for the same Hershey Kiss at the same time and the rest, as they say, is history. After a few years of courtship, happily in love, it was time to tie the knot.
There were a few glitches in the original wedding day plan. Mike was more of "pale and scrawny" type of handsome, and he was scared to death of flying. Still Elizabeth was thrilled (Europe, Shmorop she said to herself) and called a wedding planner to make sure every last detail was perfect. Meanwhile, Mike, a romantic at heart, made some phone calls of his own.
Finally, it was the wedding day. After a flawless and beautiful ceremony, Elizabeth walked into the reception to find a truly sweet surprise. White Swirl Lollipops hung from the ceiling. Elegant vintage Jelly Belly machines stood in the corners of the reception hall, filled with white Jordan Almonds candy. A centerpiece of white milk chocolate long stem roses was placed in the center of each table.
Elizabeth ran to embrace her husband. This was better than any fairy tale she'd imagined. She kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear,
"Now we'll have plenty of snacks for the road trip!"

Hello to:-
Thunk...delicate rendering...have you noticed the top wing looks like a masked face
Karen..agree again with Jen
ED... nice to see you back
Nealey...sensitive portrait
sorry to be so succinct but haven't much time to spare at the moment.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Liz thanks for joining in. I hope we can see you more now rust your back from Florida. Great job on the girl in the meadow.
Sarah your butterfly is beautiful.
C&Cs always welcome
Karen & Jen & Sarah ~ thanks for your good comments on "Bob". I'm real glad I put smiles on your faces! He was fun to do. I liked the light source coming from below - which reminded me of cowboys sitting around a fire. That, and reading another Robert B. Parker novel is what influenced me. And no, I don't think Bob looks sinister either!
ED ~ Good to see you posting again. It's always nice to try different mediums & surfaces! Nice work on your acrylic landscape.
Our computer is pretty much FRIED. Plus, we've been running Windows XP & it's obsolete now. If I'm AFK for a week or so, it's because we're looking for a replacement. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Sarah, didn't mean to ignore your WC. Your post just popped up in my Email - another example of broken CPU. The soft colours are effective, love your background again! You do them so well!
If I missed anyone else's post, SORRY it's noT me - it's TECHNOLOGY!!
Hearadh -
I had only noticed that the top wing looked like a mask until you had pointed it out. This is in part accidental, as I had rendered the ink when the paper was still wet due to impatience. Thus, I had little control over where the ink went when I wetted it further. I shiould have waited for the watercolour pencil to dry out first. It is still quite amusing. I am tempted to add two little nostrils, for a teenage mutant ninja turtle to suddenly appear.
Secondly, I may be able to do some drawing or painting on Sunday, however, it is Easter Sunday. I may find a couple of hours in the afternoon, though I am currently practicing fundamentals of perspective, and may do some abstract experimental 1-point perspective drawings instead. I'm also working on rendering the basic shapes in perspective, as I've only ever done it freehand really. I am hoping this will lead me onto far more complex drawings, and a better skill in hatching.Maybe I'll squeeze one more in, but I doubt it, as my biggest project of my life ( my final major project of my last year of university) is due.
I love the oil on canvas of the woods, with the light breaking through between the trees.Furthermore, I've managed to find a photoshop on one of the laptops at university again, so hopefully, I should have a bigger butterfly.
C&c are welcome! Love what you do.
Love who you are. Love nature. Love art.
Thunk, Glad you found Photoshop and we could see your enlarged butterfly and all the details. Now I can see the mask too what a screech!
I haven't done much at the studio other than spring cleaning my locker and making more room for my clay supplies. I have too much stuff! Today all I did was this quick and rather strange looking sketch. Her neck is too long and looks like her head is falling off!! :) I was helping another granddaughter of one of the ladies play with clay too, in the process clay ended up on my sketch! Not my best. I may try again when I am not so distracted.
In my sketchbook regular pencil and not completed.
Happy Easter to All!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Jen great attempt at the lady lamp. This one is difficult. All the shapes are elongated.
Happy Easter to all. I Have been working all weekend and have to work today. I started this underpainting at class on Thursday and worked on some more at home. Really had a hard time working out the composition. I re worked the underpainting a few times. I think I'm happy with it now and starting adding the sky today. We'll see how it progresses.
Sorry forgot the attachment
Karen, I can see where this would take some planning and the dreaded perspective! Good start on the sky. What is the subject? I am sure you will do a brilliant job!
Thanks for the encouraging words on my odd drawing. I didn't stretch her body enough and her head is too big, neck and shoulder is out of wack too! I tried to do the negative spaces but as I said too distracted. I just wanted to have done some art that day! Still it keeps the hand in!
Karen.. good start, looking forward to seeing what you choose as your focal poiny.
Jen...you obviously know what to do next so no need to comment!!!!
Thank you Jen and Sarah. This is the pic of the Mountain village from my house in Tamaqua. Hard to see it at this point
Here is my late Easter Greeting. I wanted to post this this A.M. but never got around to it till now. Ink & WC on 7x10 Lanaquarelle hot press. I had trouble with the transition area from foreground to background and I am not real happy with the leaves but very happy with the rabbit drawing. Hope you all enjoy.
C and C always welcomed
Here is my graphite sketch of the lamp. It is a3 size and I used derwent soft grade pencils. Using a 9b was like charcoal. First time I used them. Very fond of them. Broke 2 leads though due to applying too much pressure when using them sideways. I am very fond of this sketch. Took me an hour to get right shape and an hour and half to do the tonal rendering.
I have accentuated some of the curves and made the left leg bulkier deliberately. Found the base difficult to look good so I decided to suggest it instead. Let me know what you think.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Hiya all, I was a member of the forum back in 2006, so dunno if anyone remembers me :)I'm an eternally doubting Christian Agnostic called Helen. I'm 25 and from England, and I don't really know what I believe.Tentmaker (and UR in general) helped me through a really difficult time at university - I'd lost interest in my degree, had no idea where my life was going, oh, and I was terrified of Hell.Now I cannot really say if I believe in God or not. I feel like I have 2 world views, my Christian one and my secular one. The secular one is a great comfort against paranoia but the Christian one gives me hope. Did I mention I'm a rather odd person?So much about Christianity doesn't make sense to me, and I admit it seems kind of a shame that losing the fear of damnation may have helped me lose the rest of my faith as I was no longer scared to be a heretic... I just want some meaning, and I remember how I found everyone here very kind and willing to discuss difficult issues. Hoping to have some good discussions with you all :)
Now I cannot really say if I believe in God or not. I feel like I have 2 world views, my Christian one and my secular one

It is great placet o stay in Kingston. You get to know the locals around which are all incedrible friendly and always willingto help, ypu have beautiful view over Kingston by night and day, while it is pretty easy and cheap to get downtown. It is definitely a perfect place to stay if you want to escape the noisy town by night. Best thing we did was a night-out/party night with some locals from the mountain. Great place!

Even Presidents Struggle To Keep Their Dignity
Originally published on Wed May 23, 2012 6:30 am
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Even presidents struggle to keep their dignity. South African President Jacob Zuma is known for womanizing. And, maybe as a commentary, an artist painted a picture of Zuma exposed. The president is now seeking a court order to have the painting removed from an art gallery. And then there's the University of Texas, where a commencement poster included a typo. It was missing the letter L. It is supposed to be the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
