Palmetto Goodwill held their fifth annual Undy 500 motorcycle charity ride on Sunday, Sept. 8. The ride, which covered nearly 100 miles of the beautiful Tri-County, helps raise awareness of homeless veterans and provides funding for programs and services that support our local homeless and struggling veterans.
The ride kicked off at Low-Country Harley Davidson with a blessing of the bikes from Palmetto Goodwill president and CEO, Robert Smith, presenting of the flags by the Fort Dorchester High School Color Guard and the National Anthem performed by Tracy Hughes. Riders made stops at local Goodwill stores before ending the ride at Red's Ice House at Bohicket Marina.
More than 360 riders donated thousands of pieces new undergarments to be distributed to veterans at the annual Stand Down Against Homelessness event. More than $12,000 was raised in support of our local veterans who are homeless and/or struggling.
Each year in October, Goodwill partners with the VA Medical Center for the annual Stand Down Against Homelessness, a two day event, where thousands of veteran and community homeless receive medical and dental screenings, clothing, food, hygiene services, job assistance and legal counseling.
Goodwill's commitment to the veteran community doesn't end with the annual Stand Down; it continues throughout the year in the form of thousands of dollars' worth of clothing vouchers and job search assistance through a Goodwill funded program, VETS (Veterans Employment and Training Services Program). When grant funding ran out for this program several years ago, Goodwill's board of directors committed $200,000 annually to continue to reach out to veterans providing assistance in getting their lives back on track. Through VETS, Goodwill has touched the lives of nearly 200 homeless and/or struggling veterans and placed over 70 into jobs in our community.
Event sponsors include Low Country Harley-Davidson, Red's Ice House at Bohicket Marina, The Bridge, 98 Rock, Loomis and Board Spaces.

I am also a huge proponent of Agile Partner/Peavey's AmpKit, which this works perfectly with. However, if you plug it in while using AmpKit, you'll have to close and open the app. No big deal, though. Also, compared to the Amplitube iRig I used to have, the sound quality difference is phenomenally better. As far as build quality, I would have preferred a light metal to the plastic, but I enjoy it not weighing much. Overall excellent product for amp simulationon the iPhone/iPad! …

Throw it in my gig bag with my iPad and when something pops in the brain...BAM....recorded. Cannot say enough good things about this product. If you are a Mac user and guitarist/bassist you need this in your life. The only thing I have noticed (and I haven't looked into this yet) when I have the jam plugged in and forget to close GarageBand when I'm done, I get a signal delay. Easily solved by closing GarageBand and restarting. I also unplug all connections and reconnect them (force of habit from my job). But all in all hands down best product out there. …

Can I plug apogy jam into a guitar amp for live gigging?
- Asked by David W
- Nov 22, 2012
Yes - Absolutely. I preform on a regular basis using this as a tool. In fact I am doing it right now Yes - Absolutely. I preform on a regular basis using this as a tool. In fact I am doing it right now. You can plug your guitar into the 1/4" on the jam and then plug the 'jam' into your iPad/MacBook. Use aplitube or GarageBand etc... You then need to use a 3.5 mm audio cable that is male on both ends to connect the headphones jack on the iPad/MacBook to your amp. You will need a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter to plug the cable into you amp, just make sure you get a mono adapter - most of the ones you will find at audio stores are all stereo - your amp and most mixing boards for live shows will be mono and if you are using other apps in the background on your iPad it will only pick up one half of the stereo sound. You can 100% use this for live shows, I do it all the time. I also use MainStage, an app for my MacBoook Pro which allows even more in depth pedal settings for live concerts. I specifically bought this to do live shows - It is fantastic! I have never even tried recording with it :) …

As to the speakers just monitor the sound level and you should be fine. After a certain level of volume distortion takes place and could damage the speakers just like in the home or car. I personally prefer headphones because you can really hear what's going on...plus it takes stress off of your comp speakers.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Hardtail in stock than that.View Similar Products
Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball Carbon / SRAM X9 Complete Bike $0.00
Manufacturers' complete bike packages are often constrained by requirements for mass-market appeal. The Featured Bike program is an alternative option that uses our collective experience, knowledge, and resources to provide a bicycle out of the box that we'd proudly flog, ourselves. Take a look at the component mix on this race-ready Highball Carbon Complete Bike; SRAM X9, Easton EA70, and Fox Racing team up to unleash the pure speed of Santa Cruz's heady carbon hardtail.
SRAM's X9 line has continually evolved as new technology is trickled down from X0 and XX, making it one of the best drivetrain values on the market. We went with a 2x10 setup to cut down on excess while providing ratios that complement a 29er's sweet spot. X9 shifters guide X9 front and rear derailleurs over an 11-36t PG-1050 cassette, and X9 crank for fast and positive shifts.
For rolling stock, Easton's EA70 XCT tubeless ready XCT wheels with Geax Saguaros offer the right mix of light weight and durability. We've found the Saguaros to strike a perfect balance between semi-slicks and knobbies for low rolling resistance with stability on loose and rocky terrain. The Highball will ship with presta tubes installed for obvious ready-to-ride reasons, but we've had good luck running this wheel/tire combination with sealant.
The components are respectable performance-oriented pieces with a dose of durability. The Highball frame, however, is a racer's rig that provides excellent handling dynamics, lively response, and energy-conserving damping. The secret to those appealing traits is the Highball's one-piece carbon lay-up and curing process -- as opposed to assembling joints that require bonding or wrapping.
In structurally important locations like the tapered headtube, and 73mm bottom bracket, continuous fibers flow around the junctions and spread throughout the frame. The layers are compacted from the inside as they're applied, which eliminates voids, prevents delamination, and creates a smooth, stress-free interior with no waste -- in short, it cuts excess material while making the frame stronger.
The resulting construction distributes lateral, vertical, and torsional loads throughout the frame to boost the Highball's performance. This design absorbs impact energy, while efficiently and accurately transferring bio-inputs like steering and propulsion. Translated into trail talk, this means the Highball loses nothing to flex when you stomp on the pedals, dampens high-speed trail chatter, and stays true to its line.
To complement those frame characteristics, a 100mm Fox 32 Float CTD with a tapered steerer tube and the 15QR thru-axle mitigates steering deflection. The CTD damper offers three distinct settings: climb, trail, and descend, for a simplified experience and optimal performance without a degree in suspension dynamics.
Speed is kept in check with powerful Avid Elixir 9 hydraulic disc brakes and 160mm rotors. Finishing off the build are Easton EA70 parts including the stem, bar, and seatpost, which is topped with a Sella Italia SL Kit Carbonio. The Santa Cruz Highball Carbon SRAM X9 Complete Bike is available in Medium through XX-Large sizes and comes in Black/Green, Black/Black, Matte Carbon/Gray or Gloss Carbon/Red.

'Haunt' Comic Book to Feature Stand-Alone Story in Issue 6
Fan-Favorite Artist, Greg Capullo, to Take Artistic Helm
Friday, December 11, 2009
With the upcoming conclusion to the first story arc on the horizon, the Haunt creative team is proud to announce a stand-alone issue filled with shocking revelations. Veteran artist, Greg Capullo, takes the helm on this exciting supplementary issue. "Ghosts, gobs of goo and gore... What more can I ask for?" the long time McFarlane partner says. "I'm ready to rock those Kilgore Bros."
Co-creator Robert Kirkman states, "Having Greg come in to pencil this stand-alone issue is a real treat. His layouts for the series have been amazing but I'm really looking forward to seeing him come in and finish the work that he's been laying in for Ryan Ottley. It couldn't come at a better time, issue 6 is a stand-alone tale focusing on Mirage, who we learn a lot about in issue 5, and it'll be showing us some of the events of the first mini-series from her point of view.
This character is very important to the future of Haunt so this spotlight issue should be a big hit with fans of the series -- especially with Capullo handling the art!"
Haunt #6, releasing March 2010, revisits the events surrounding Kurt's death from the perspective of the mysterious character, Mirage, and provides further insight into the birth of Haunt. If you haven't picked up Haunt issues 1-5, this is an excellent jumping-on point for new readers, leading up to the second explosive story arc beginning in issue 7!
Haunt issue 6, a 32-page full color comic book offered at $2.99, will be on sale March 2010 alongside the Haunt Volume 1 Trade Paperback.

Live Nation Comedy and the Charleston Music Hall are excited to present Anthony Jeselnik on Friday, April 4. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 and go on sale Friday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m.
The Music Hall has been trying to get Jeselnik for a stand-up set as part of their Stand-Up Series since first seeing him on the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump. Jeselnik adds bite to a series chock-full of talent, such as; Aziz Ansari, Mike Birbiglia and Jeanne Robertson. Jeselnik is described by Nathan Rabin of A.V. Club as the "Satanic prince of stand-up, a black-hearted joke-slinger with a ferocious and unstoppable will to power." Needless to say, Anthony Jeselnik will be a hilarious mix of aggression and wit.
With appearances early in his career on Conan, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Jeselnik was poised to take the stand-up crown. His kingship was solidified with two successful seasons of his own show, The Jeselnik Offensive, on Comedy Central. His resume is rounded out with an Emmy nomination for his work on A Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education, and an hour-long special, Caligula, which recieved critical acclaim. Anthony Jeselnik is sure to keep the whole hall laughing when he takes the stage this April.

It's good that there are app created for this. But where's the unification? Today, I could pay a subscription and the next day I need another app..?
The Transit App for iPhone review
By bus, subway/metro, or train, get where you're going faster by being smarter with the Transit App for iPhone
The Transit App was lovingly, painstakingly designed and coded by Sam Vermette (of Shows) and Guillaume Campagna to make taking a bus, catching a train, or hoping on the underground as easy checking the weather or reading a social status. And they've succeeded brilliantly.
Launch The Transit App and it automatically detects your location, zones in on the public transport routes in your area, and shows you the next available times. Color coded. With icons. To match the transit system in your area.
The interface is big and blocky and almost Metro-esque, with small but delightful animations for things like time spinning down before your eyes (run!). Tap on one of the routes and options open up. You can switch route directions, pull up a map to see where you are relative to the stop or station, add a route to favorites, or get a list of additional times on that route.
You can also use handy gesture shortcuts. Simply pull right for the map and left to switch directions. Tap and hold the route number for a directional arrow and distance to the stop/station, or tap and hold the time indicator to quickly see the next two times. That makes things easily discoverable for anyone new to the Transit App but incredibly fast for seasoned users. An excellent implementation.
The Transit App remembers the last route you took, so it can immediately offer you the reverse route back to further speed up the experience. You can also uncheck transit agencies you don't use, and set arbitrary locations to make plans for later.
Also, while the Transit App information is stored on a server and updated daily, with an optional subscription (see below), the most recent update can be cached locally you so don't have to worry about getting caught without a connection. You can even download destination bundles for trips when you're on Wi-Fi so you don't waste cellular data or risk poor connections when traveling.
The Transit App is launching with support for Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto. They'll be adding more cities soon, however. The current plan calls for Halifax, Ottawa, and Fredericton in early July, Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg in mid July, and Vancouver/Transilink in late July. New York, Washington, and San Francisco are planned for mid August.
Online access for the 3 closest routes is free. All routes in a 1.5KM radius and offline support are available via subscription for $0.99 a month, $2.99 for 6 months, or $4.99 a year. (Sign up for a Transit App account and you can enable that subscription on all your iPhones.)
As iOS 6 Maps showed everyone, doing transit data isn't easy, even for Apple, so the subscription provides for maintaining and expanding the servers and coverage to keep every route up-to-date in every city, for every user. At less than the cost of a fancy cup of coffee per year, it's a no brainer.
The good
- Incredibly well thought out
- Beautifully designed
- Lightning-fast to use
The bad
- Limited locations supported at launch
A couple of months ago I had the chance to sit in at a CocoaHeads talk given by The Transit App's Sam Vermette. He took the room full of iOS and OS X coders and designers through the process he used to develop the interface for The Transit App. As anyone who's listened to the Iterate podcast knows, I'm a sucker for these talks, for the process of design, and for the relentless drive to make phenomenal user experience. There are, frankly, some app categories rich with these kinds of apps, like Twitter or Todo apps. But there are many, many more that are woefully underserved.
The Transit App brings premium polish to a highly useful app category -- and one that's going to be incredibly important if Apple persists in their plans to hand transit directions off to App Store apps in the iOS 6 Maps app.
By pre-sorting and filtering routes based on location, providing just-in-time information, and letting you tap or gesture into more granular, detailed, and custom data, The Transit App manages to make getting your next route lightning fast, yet still lets you dig in and plan future or alternate routes when you have to.
The Transit App is the Apple simplify, refine, repeat mantra made manifest for public transportation, and I can't give it a higher recommendation than this -- it makes me want to take the damn bus.

The Transit App for iPhone review
Beautiful app!
If it wasn't for this review, I would never have known it. It doesn't support my location, however.
There's literally hundreds of apps for transit....
They have them for individual hubs. They have them for cities. They have them for trains, planes, and anything you could think of.
And you know? It's a mess... what should happen is that all the services should get incorporated into one main application..
I don't think they can handle London
Would love to see US support, specifically the Tri-State Area (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania). This area is huge when you talk about commuters and travel. Millions of people transit this region and an app like this (which would include all forms of transportation) may be a bit much to take on but it would sure be a great success.
As ususal with transport apps, this seems to be limited to a few cities and has no no offline support, so useless for international travellers. If anyone is looking for an app that works in more than just a few cities and has full offline support, check out MetrO by Kinevia. I use it all over Europe and even in Asia (it also works in the US but I don't travel there).
Gorgeous app. The Upstate, NY (Albany-Schenectady-Saratoga) region (CDTA bus lines) would be awesome!
For Portland, Oregon - check out the wonderful and free PDXBus app.
I have no connection with the developer other than I use the app regularly...
For those living in Toronto, check out nextbus.com
Love it and fairly accurate for me. They have other transit agencies as well
no thanks ... apple better have transit on their dumb pathetic map
For those who live in the big cites (and maybe some not so big), try nextbus . com
(no, this isn't a spam). To try to explain about nextbus: it basically tracks ur location, and provides you with "Real" time next bus arrivals closest to your location (in Los Angeles, it's accurate 90% of the time, but doesn't support all municipals, it won't work in Orange County either). Thanks to nextbus, I have yet to use Google Transit.
I'll admit though this probably won't work for everybody, because the agencys have to implement this themselves on their fleet, but if any of you that live in a major city and use google transit, I recommend to give it a try, it wouldn't hurt and you can install it as a web app icon on your device.
I gotta admit, I'm surprised no one has mentioned about this.

The Record
My American Dream Sounds Like The White Stripes
Originally published on Wed August 15, 2012 3:27 pm
The White Stripes' "Little Room" is only 50 seconds long. Jack White sings about working on "something good" in his little room, only to have that something good move him to a bigger room, where he's lost and has to consider downsizing to re-center. It is riotous and lean. While it's almost certainly an inventory of personal success, even a manifesto on the subject, for me, in this moment, it is also about Detroit.
I moved back to my hometown of Detroit just after my homeboy Jack White moved to Nashville. Despite its downturn I've always been proud of historical Detroit: We practically invented the high school-educated, home-owning middle class. But living in a past when industry and art was booming is neither possible nor even desirable.
I moved home because another Detroit is happening.
The American dream of middle-class living, forced midcentury to accommodate the working class by labor activists like James Boggs, is as abandoned as our much photographed vacant buildings. The ruin porn that's come to represent Detroit, and by proxy an America that once manufactured the world's goods, is sometimes meant to inspire people to rally around the city, to save it and, by extension, rebuild the American dream. But I'm more interested in re-imagining it altogether. Instead of rebuilding the large factories that were almost always disconnected to the health of the land and the air, many Detroiters are focused on making something instead of manufacturing something.
One example is our booming urban gardening movement. Food deserts forced city residents to plant hundreds of acres of produce on the city's thousands of vacant lots. And inner-city farming isn't the only place where inventive re-imagining is happening in small spaces in Detroit — here, hyper- and trans-local projects led by the communities they serve are the rule, not the exception. There are the Detroit Food Justice Task Force, the Detroit Future Youth, the Cass Corridor Commons, the Boggs Educational Center.
Urban Network Bookstore, led by former gang member and community activist Yusef Shakur, organizes in Detroit's roughest hoods, working to, as he says, "Put the neighbor back in the hood." Suburban millennials have ignored two generations of fear and are returning to the city to live and open small businesses. Shared, cooperative work spaces like entrepreneur Phil Cooley's Ponyride and The Allied Media Projects are more than trends. They are, in fact, my city's future.
For a long time I'd been trying to visualize actual, sustainable living in urban cities in this era of economic collapse. Creative solutions that don't seek bigger rooms, or endless expansion, but are committed instead to small actions and downsizing. To get to the work of "growing our spirits," as lifetime revolutionary and local activist Grace Lee Boggs insists.
In fact, I write this essay now, in a little room, with a like-minded cadre of creatives. In one corner a team is planning the school they're building — they've identified a property with enough land to farm the students' lunch. Two tables away is a small group of digital justice activists — they're preparing for their evening adult class. Jack White uses the "little room" as a metaphor for simple living. The outsized room that he'd associated with success is ultimately empty and uninspiring. My big home city has shrunk into a town now small enough to re-imagine a more sustainable American dream.
dream hampton has written about music, culture and politics for 20 years. Her articles and essays have appeared in The Village Voice, The Detroit News, Harper's Bazaar, Essence and a dozen anthologies. She's also a filmmaker and editor.
Of course another Midwestern city working to reinvent itself after the near-collapse of the auto industry is Detroit. And as part of our continuing look at how people hear the American Dream through music, we couldn't resist calling Detroit music writer Dream Hampton. Her song pick is a short one.
DREAM HAMPTON: The White Stripes' "Little Room" is only 50 seconds long. It's meant to be a manifesto on success. Jack White sings about working on something good in his little room, only to have that something good move him to a bigger room, where he's lost and has to consider downsizing to re-center.
WHITE STRIPES: (Singing) Well, you're in your little room and you're working on something good. But if it's really good, you're gonna need a bigger room. And when you're in the bigger room, you might not know what to do. You might have to think of how you got started sitting in your little room...
HAMPTON: While the song is almost certainly an inventory of personal success, for me, in this moment, it is also about Detroit. I moved back to my much-maligned hometown just after my homeboy, Jack White, moved to Nashville. Despite its downturn, I've always been proud of my Motor City.
HAMPTON: Yet recapturing or reclaiming the city's industrial past when manufacturing was booming is neither possible nor desirable. I moved home because another Detroit is happening. Instead of working to re-attract new, large factories that are almost always disconnected to the health of the land and the air, many Detroiters are focused on making something instead of manufacturing something. One example are the food deserts that force local residents to plant hundreds of urban gardens on the city's thousands of vacant lots. Those farms provide fresh produce, but they also help to create a space for much-needed healing after decades of crime and violence. They help to put the neighbor back in the hood, as former gang member and local activist Yusef Shakur likes to say. Jack White uses the little room as a metaphor for simple living. The outsized room that he'd associated with success is ultimately empty and uninspiring. My big home city has shrunk into a town now small enough to reimagine a more sustainable American Dream.
BOBBY BARE: (Singing) Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City...
GREENE: Dream Hampton is a music writer once again back in Detroit.
BARE: ...about those problem fields back home. I dreamed about my mother, my daddy, sisters and brothers, and I dreamed about that girl...

Man charged with felony DUINovember 29,2012BENNINGTON An Arlington man is facing a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol after police said he was stopped Monday in Manchester with a blood alcohol content almost double the legal limit.
William J. Whitman, 46, of Arlington, was arraigned Tuesday in Bennington criminal court on two felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, one related to driving while under the influence and the other related to driving while over the legal limit. Whitman pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
In an affidavit, officer Abigail Zimmer, of the Manchester Police Department, said she noticed Whitman driving about 7:45 p.m. Monday around on East Manchester Road near Hillcrest Road. Zimmer said Whitmans vehicle was crossing over the center line of the road.
According to the affidavit, Zimmer followed Whitman but another truck came between Whitman and the police cruiser. However, Officer Christopher Mason, also of the Manchester Police Department, stopped Whitman for a speeding violation on Richville Road.
Police said Whitmans blood alcohol content was measured at 0.159 percent at about 8 p.m. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
A second test conducted at the Manchester Police Station around 11:10 p.m. showed a blood alcohol content of 0.154 percent, Zimmer said.
Court records indicated that Whitman was previously convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in April 1981 and July 2011.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Royal Pingdom
Royal Pingdom has made good use of Google's Maps to illustrate the location of Google Data Centres around the world. Being the world's favourite search engine takes enormous amounts of computing power and therefore Google's data infrastructure needs to be huge and spread across the world. According to Google's earnings reports they spent $2.4 billion on their data centres in 2007 alone.
Google is rather coy about how many data centres it uses and where they are located but Royal Pingdom have created some Google Maps based on information published by Data Center Knowledge.
As well as using static maps Royal Pingdom have also put together an interactive Google Map of the data centres at Wayfaring.

CRESTVIEW — Expected residential growth in northwest Crestview is leading the city's two water utilities to launch water drilling projects within a few miles, just months of each other.
For the last two weeks, motorists rounding Blueberry Curve north of Crestview have noticed a newly erected derrick in front of Victorious Life Worship Center near the State Road 85-Lake Silver Road intersection.
The derrick — topped by an American flag waving in the breeze — marks the spot where Auburn Water System officials hope to drill the utility's eighth well.
"It will just be a well and a well house; no tank," Auburn Water General Manager Doug Sims said.
The Crestview City Council at its Jan. 14 meeting also approved a contract to begin drilling a water well on Old Bethel Road, to be located on city-owned property across the street from the historic Old Bethel Cemetery. Drilling should start within a month.
Bob Baker, account manager and geologist for Layne Christensen's Pensacola office, said the worldwide water management firm has started preliminary work at the Blueberry Curve site.
"At this point, it's simply a test well," he said.
"They're going to be sure the water we're going to get is adequate in both quantity and quality before we do the permanent well," Sims said.
Auburn's water network is designed so wells and tanks can supplement each other if one fails due to a storm or mechanical problems. That helps assure customers won't be without water in the affected area, Sims said.
"All of our wells and tanks are grouped together," he said. "This one is being put in place to make sure we have adequate capacity in the future, but also if we have a well go down, it will still supply capacity. It's serving a dual purpose."
During Hurricane Ivan, although many north Crestview neighborhoods lacked electricity for a week or more, Auburn Water's system did not fail, due in part to this built-in redundancy, Sims said.
The new well would be more likely to keep working, even during an electricity outage.
"It will have a natural gas generator," Sims said. "All our other generators are diesel. In an emergency, diesel can be hard to get. In an emergency, we will be assured of a better supply of external power should we need it."
If the quantity and quality of water found during the test well digging meets the utility's standards, he expects the permanent well to be online within six months. The well should produce 750 gallons of water a minute, Sims said.
"We're really hoping this well will come out just fine and we can get it online soon," he said.
"It will be good to know we have that extra capacity online and the natural gas generator to back it up."

Easy Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas
Chalkboard tags [1]
Trendy chalkboard tags add a personal touch to any gift. Use purchased chalkboard tags, cut tag shapes out of chalkboard paper, or create your own paper with chalkboard spray paint. Write message with chalk or a white chalk pen.
Make a stacked-loop bow [4]
Natural colors [9]
Burlap and feathers are unconventional trimmings on beautiful packages. TIp: Wrap gifts early and use them as holiday decor!
Cinnamon accents [12]
To create this easy wrap—especially appropriate for food gifts—just use washi tape and string to tie cinnamon sticks to your package.
Wood chip tags [15]
Use purchased wood chips or cut your own (if you cut your own, wait at least two weeks before painting). Drill a hole in the top. Decorate either with paint (we used painter's tape and stickers to help with lines and lettering), or simply write on the wood with a Sharpie.
Vintage-feel wrap [18]
Vintage-look papers, brown ribbon, buttons and lace make great handcrafted packages.
Sticker style [21]
Cover your package with kraft paper, then wrap with white raffia. Embellish with purchased scrapbook stickers in any shape you like.
Out-of-the-woods snowman [24]
This wood snowman present topper can get a second life as a Christmas tree decoration once the gift is opened.
Glue three wood slices together to form a body. Cut out a green felt hat and a scarf and glue onto the snowman. Glue a sprig of greenery and artificial berries to the hat and the scarf. Attach two stick arms and then paint a thin layer of glue on the body and sprinkle glitter on it. Shake off the excess.
Print package [27]
Wrap packages with plain kraft paper and decorate with velvet ribbon, gold twine and tissue paper printed with old-fashioned typewriter type.
Felt and pompoms [30]
To add color to a package wrapped in kraft paper, hot-glue a series of felt triangles to the front. (Cut triangles from a red felt sheet.) Wrap a coordinating ribbon around the sides without the triangles. Finish with a pom-pom on top.
Sweet idea [33]
Folded cupcake liners, plain paper and twine go together for a simple but striking wrap, especially for kitchen-related gifts. Use a mini liner for the top.
Lacy look [36]
Use adhesive spray to add lacy paper doilies to gifts; tie with yarn.
Recycled wrap [39]
Use newspapers to wrap packages, then mix black, white and red ribbons for stylish bows.
Patterned tree [42]
Create a unique tree on your package with washi tape and strips of patterned paper.
Paper strings [45]
String tiny paper cutouts of Christmas trees and stars on metallic thread to give Christmas packages a special tie-up.
Top with a doily [48]
Instead of using a traditional bow, top a present with a small doily. Cover the gift in brown kraft paper, then tie on the doily with festive ribbon.
Fuzzy accents [51]
Wool balls and different styles of yarn give charm even to packages wrapped in plain white paper.
Winter scene [54]
Create a winter wonderland on top of a wrapped package. Use a few dots of hot glue to attach mini packages and bottlebrush trees. Glue metallic beads to the trees for extra sparkle.
With bells on [57]
Jingle bells glued and tied on these packages add a finishing touch to pretty papers and ribbons. Let your creations decorate the mantel until Christmas morning!
Stylish accents [60]
Accent a gift with decorative ribbons. For added embellishment, use embroidery thread and a needle to create a cross-stitch and/or running stitch design. Make the bow out of a cardboard paper towel tube. Flatten the tube lengthwise, then cut it into five pieces of equal width. Hot-glue ends together to form a bow.
Wallpaper wrap [63]
Looking for something a little different, or have leftover papers in the house? Think outside the box for wrapping paper. Wallpaper, art paper, even shelving liner can all become pretty Christmas wrap.
Kid-inspired wrapping [66]
Any kid at heart will tell you that the wrapping often is just as much fun as the gift. Get children involved in holiday gift-giving by offering them plain wrapping paper to decorate. Their drawings, cutouts, stamps, glued-on pom-poms and scrawled letters promise personal touches no wrapping-paper company can match.
Draw a pattern [69]
Take a fine-tip permanent marker to kraft paper (before wrapping your gift), and draw a fun freehand pattern, such as loose figure eights that don't have to be perfect. Layer on ribbons to one side so they don't hide too much artwork. If you like, first adorn ribbons with decorative stitching.
Recycled tags [72]
Dress up a package with tags recycled from pretty holiday cards. Use a tag punch to create the shape, then trim with chenille stem or other embellishments. Punch a hole near the top, and if you like, finish with a metal eyelet.
Decorate a present [75]
Use smaller ornaments as pretty add-ons for gift wrap. Evergreen sprays and faux berries are a special touch.
Pine cones on top [78]
A wide burlap ribbon, pine cones and tinsel add both natural touches and sparkle to this present wrapped in kraft paper.
Silver and blue [81]
This color combo lends an elegant touch to any gift. Sprigs of greenery and jingle bells enhace the look.
String and stitches [84]
To create this pretty gift, wrap holiday-theme yarn, string or cording five or six times around your package. Cut or punch out three felt circles to layer on top of the yarn. If you have the time, stitch simple holiday shapes, like stars or trees, on the felt circles before hot-gluing them on.
Jeweled boxes [87]
Vintage jewel-encrusted brooches and belt buckles slipped over ribbons sparkle on these gifts.
Spice stamp gift wrap [90]
Handmade paper purchased at an art store and sheer tulle tied as ribbon give gifts a texture that's hard to resist. Add a personal gift tag and unique spice stamp. To make the stamp, sand one side of a star anise, dip it in glittery ink and press it on the tag.
Sprig of greens [93]
Tuck a greenery twig under a ribbon for a fresh look just before you give a package (or use artificial greens for long-lasting appeal). Wire small ornaments to the sprouts to look like a miniature Christmas tree.
Natural style [96]
Greenery, pinecones and polka-dot ribbon wrap up these gifts with natural style.
Woven ribbons [99]
Use different styles of coordinating ribbon to create a lovely woven effect. Tape on three vertical ribbons, then weave through two horizontal ribbons and tape on the back. Instead of a tag, use a scrapbook letter to signify the gift recipient's first name.
Wrap with maps [102]
Old or unused maps make creative wrapping paper—especially for a travel-related gift!

CHARLESTON – U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin announced Tuesday that a Huntington man was sentenced to two years in federal prison for aiding and abetting the possession with intent to distribute oxycodone in Holden. Rayshawn Allah Wells, 22, previously pleaded guilty in September 2012. Wells admitted that on April 14, 2010, he and an associate distributed approximately 2.5 80-milligram oxycodone pills to a confidential informant working with the U.S. 119 Task Force. Wells further admitted that on April 14, 2010, he and an associate distributed three 80-milligram oxycodone pills to an informant. Wells admitted that both illegal pill transactions occurred in Holden.
On April 14, 2010, members of the U.S. 119 Task Force executed a search warrant at a Holden residence and arrested the defendant and other known individuals. At the time the search warrant was executed, law enforcement agents seized approximately 127 80-milligram tablets. The defendant admitted that he had $1,040 cash on his person that included bills used in earlier controlled transactions.
Wells admitted that he and co-defendant Kawan Michael Wells brought oxycodone pills from Huntington to Logan County for the purpose of distributing them. Kawan Wells, 24, previously pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the possession with intent to distribute oxycodone. Kawan Wells was sentenced in December 2012 to five years' probation.
The U.S. 119 Task Force conducted the investigation.

The Baggies are currently flying high in third place in the Premier League after exceeding all expectations so far this term.
Saturday's win at Sunderland was their fourth victory on the trot to maintain their best start to a season since the 1953-54 campaign.
Long admits there is no reason why they cannot qualify for Europe if they continue their form for the rest of the season.
"It does cross your mind that could be us playing in Europe next year," admitted Long. "You can dream, everyone can dream. We can dream that because we have put ourselves in a good position.
"If we carry on like this who knows what is possible? We will get to that 40-point mark, which is our first objective, and take it from there.
"It is a new challenge for us trying to keep in touch with the high-fliers, but the longer this run goes on the harder it will get because teams will respect us that little bit more."

Denver Nuggets Basketball Tickets
Having always been nestled tightly in the mountains of Colorado, the Denver Nuggets have been making their hometown proud since the mid-1960s. The Denver-based basketball team has a history of serious play, putting the championship title within reach on several occasions. Will this season belong to the Nuggets? Don't miss a moment of the action; purchase your
Denver Nuggets tickets
now on the official NBATickets.com Resale Marketplace!
Initially called the Denver Rockets, the team was founded along with the American Basketball Association in 1967. Concrete lineups saw the team play through to 1974 when, in expectation of joining the NBA, the team held a naming contest that resulted in the Nuggets moniker. Always distinguished for their strong play, the Nuggets continued on to win two divisional titles in their NBA infancy.
A strong offensive philosophy has always been the backbone of the team's style, often bringing them in direct confrontation with their division rivals the
Utah Jazz
and the
Portland Trail Blazers
. Though serving the team up a lot of tournament play, this strategy has also done them a disservice by carrying them to the playoffs and the brink of championship play, but never sinking the three-pointer. Whether you head down to Pepsi Center by yourself, with friends or the whole family, watch and see if this season's Denver Nuggets takes the season!

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
By Nathan Cutler
On Thursday, June 11, and Monday, June 15, John Kerrigan's biology class at Harwood Union had a special visitor from the University of Vermont. Scott Tighe is a molecular biologist from Vermont Cancer Center and has a special mission to promote genetics education in Vermont through the outreach program of the Vermont Genetics Network (VGN).
This visit was significant because Scott is a former student of Kerrigan's microbiology class (class of 1983). At the University of Vermont Tighe performs genetic analysis on diseases such as neuroblastoma, breast cancer and melanoma, to name a few.
Tighe came to the class and conducted a two-day hands-on experiment designed to teach students how to work with DNA by testing food for the presence of genetically modified genes commonly used in soy and corn products.
Using food samples brought to class by students, students conducted the following experiment. Food samples were placed in test tubes containing one milliliter of water, a ceramic ball and an abrasive. The test tube was sent through a shaking device to grind up the food sample and liberate the DNA within the food.
After allowing the food sample to settle, a small aliquot was transferred to another test tube. This liquid contained the DNA from the food sample. This mixture was then heated and centrifuged, and an additional component called Chelex was added to remove positive ions from the solution which might otherwise interfere with the next reaction.
Once the purified DNA was isolated, students then "amplified" a specific gene that is found in most genetically modified food using a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR is very useful for amplifying a specific target DNA and finding "the needle in the haystack." It is a common technique used for medical and environmental research as well as DNA forensics.
Students used PCR to amplify a promoter gene associated with genetically modified food called CMV35s, which is actually a small piece of the entire gene used in genetically modified food. This "fragment" is actually called a promoter. In order for the gene to be implanted into the host's DNA, a promoter has to be used. A promoter instructs the host organism to replicate the inserted gene. It is like light switch. If one turns on the switch, the lights come on or, in genetics, if one has a promoter DNA, a gene gets turned on and will make the protein of interest. These promoters are great tools for genetic engineers.
The actual gene that is inserted and does the work in the plant is a natural DNA taken from the soil bacterium <MI>Bacillus thuringienesis<D> (Bt) and transplanted into corn or soy. This gene causes the plant to produce a naturally occurring protein called delta-endotoxin which is a deterrent to many insects including the nasty corn borers, a common insect pest that attacks corn plants and destroys crops.
After the DNA was amplified, it was run through an agarose gel, which is essentially a molecular sieve for DNA. This works by applying an electric current to the gel so when the DNA is present it can be separated based on size. A positive result is obtained and the correct size of CMV35s is observed on the gel. Students then photographed the DNA in the agarose gel using a UV trans-illuminator, which makes the DNA fluoresce red. The DNA was compared to a control sample and calibration standard to determine the size of what was amplified in the food samples.
After the photograph of the genes was taken, the class examined it to determine which of their foods contained GMOs. The food samples tested were Italian wafer cookies, Kashi bar, Silk milk, Captain Crunch, Peanut Butter Chocolate Corn Pops, Nature Valley chocolate chip granola bar, rice cake and Total cereal. During this experiment, students found several samples that were positive.
In this experiment, they learned that although the term "genetically modified" might sound scary, it really is not when it is understood. Genetically modifying crops or farm animals is a much debated issue. Some feel that it is good because it decreases the need for pesticides and can increase the quantity of harvest of certain crops. Others feel that genetically changing the food may have detrimental effects on health. Genetically modified crops are expensive to engineer. It takes 6 to 15 years of scientific development and millions of dollars to change the genes in just one plant. In the end, is this much time and money worth the result? Even after 15 years, the debate continues.

2 subs...1 CG for sure still on the fence about getting a 2nd one.
I got two subs for 2013, but will probably only get one Castle Grayskull since the price was bumped from $200 to $250. I dread what shipping is going to cost on CG.
2 subs...1 CG for sure still on the fence about getting a 2nd one.
One, and one.
No sub, one castle, and probably a new room too just for the castle
One sub because I was worried it wouldn't go through. Given the reveals of most so far, I wish I hadn't. Due to this I am not getting a Grayskull. Would rather cancel my sub and Grayskull instead but what can you do?
I bought three subs to support the line. Probably will get one castle, but very disappointed in what I've seen so far in terms of castle design.
Photog is here! thank you, Mattel!
Now how about some mini-comics love (like Lodar, Geldor, Dakon......)? And Mermista?
I have 33 2013 Club Eternia Subs coming!!!!!! I will be buying multiple Castle Grayskulls, but the number is TBD...............
bought 5 subs, Castle Grayskull quantities though yet TBD...........
"Whoever says money is evil...doesn't have it"- Boiler Room
1 sub, 1 castle.
"The most difficult thing is trying not to forget who you really want to be." - Nong Toom
I am looking for these Marvel Legends figures
My marketplace feedback
No sub for me, but I wil absolutely preorder a Castle, no matter what.
Got 1 sub and am thinking about getting a CG... I want to have it for sure.
But the sub alone already is quite a burden for me and my girlfriend to bear
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
I bought one sub, and will be getting one Castle Grayskull for sure. I can't wait to see the prototype.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
1 sub and 1... No it WILL have to be 2 castles to display inside and out
If there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna' call? HE-MAN!!!!
1 Sub and 1 Castle.
Would love 2 so I can display the interior at the same time since I think that'll be AMAZING!
But shipping to new zealand will be killer for 1 let alone 2.
No sub. MAYBE one Castle Grayskull, if made properly and with good quality.
I have 3 subs in 2013, and my wife (Zod love her) has greenlit 2 Castle Grayskulls for me.

There are two common types of atrioventricular canal defect — partial and complete. The partial form involves only the two upper chambers of the heart. The complete form allows blood to travel freely among all four chambers of the heart. In either type, extra blood circulates in the lungs.
Signs and symptoms of complete atrioventricular canal defect usually develop in the first several weeks of life. They include:
If your baby has complete atrioventricular canal defect, he or she may also develop signs and symptoms of heart failure, including:
Signs and symptoms of a partial atrioventricular canal defect may not appear until early adulthood. When they do become noticeable, signs and symptoms may be related to complications that develop as a result of the defect, and may include:
Contact your doctor if you or your child develops any of the following signs or symptoms. These could be indications of heart failure or another complication of atrioventricular canal defect:
Some babies with the partial form of atrioventricular canal defect may not have any signs or symptoms for weeks, months or even years, depending on the severity of the defect. But, anytime the signs or symptoms above start to appear, seek medical care.
