Monters Vs. Aliens
Synopsis: When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

Then Stephen convinces him to do one last big scam, this one on a wealthy, eccentric New Jersey heiress named Penelope (Weisz), and a series of clever, elaborate cons ensues. The movie does lots of globetrotting, including Montenegro, Prague and St. Petersburg. Rinko Kikuchi plays an explosives expert.

Two years ago, Google released a collection of n-grams from web pages and made it available on Linguistic Data Consortium's website. "We processed 1,024,908,267,229 words of running text and are publishing the counts for all 1,176,470,663 five-word sequences that appear at least 40 times. There are 13,588,391 unique words, after discarding words that appear less than 200 times." Here are some examples of 3-grams, followed by their frequencies:
ceramics collectables collectibles 55
ceramics collectables fine 130
ceramics collected by 52
While this huge corpora is useful to build linguistic models, there are other ways to use it. Chris Harrison created some visualizations for bigrams and trigrams that start with pronouns. "These visual comparisons allow us to see differences in how the two subjects are used - both where they are similar and diverge. For example, among the top 120 trigrams, 'He' and 'She' have many common second words. However, they differ on some interesting ones, for example, only 'he' connects to 'argues', while only 'she' connects to 'love'."
Chris DiBona from Google works on IsolWrite, a word processing program that will include a text prediction option. "I gotta get my greasy hands on an open version of our published n-gram data (which is ranked) and incorporate that, if it makes sense."

Summerville Orthodontist Britt Reagin recognizes the value of an education. After all, being an orthodontist requires not just dental school, but also post-doctoral residency and annual continuing education and Invisalign study. With education as a cornerstone in his life, Dr. Reagin has launched the "Supporting Local Schools" program whereby he hopes to inspire community involvement in deciding which area schools will receive a charitable donation from his practice.
How it works: Using a desktop or laptop PC, visit the practice's Facebook page
at www.facebook.com/ReaginOrthodontics, and click on the "Supporting Schools – Vote Here" application icon under the cover photo. Follow the steps to select your school(s) and cast your vote. At the end of the voting round on April 30th, the three schools with the most votes will enter a final round where one will be drawn to win a $1,000 donation. The second-drawn school receives $500, and the third $250. "The fun part will be watching everyone rally their network of friends, families, etc. to join in voting," says Dr. Reagin.
"Education is at the heart of community success. People move to an area because of the quality of its schools, and great schools yield strong advocacy in return. So the entire community prospers as a result of supporting local education," states Dr. Reagin. "By inviting the community at large to participate in our 'Supporting Local Schools' campaign, we not only call attention to a worthy cause, but are also hopeful that doing such will incite a wave of school and community pride."
Dr. Reagin conceptualized his plan for using Facebook as the vehicle for "Supporting Local Schools" after a conversation with a patient's mother, who is also actively involved in her school's PTA. "We realized that this concept could have broader reach and greater availability if voting occurred via Facebook rather than in our office," states Dr. Reagin. "The act of voting does not require a special trip to our office, and everyone in the area can be invited and participate at any time," he continues. "This makes it easier for a given school and/or PTA to recruit votes. And what's more, the philanthropy itself strikes at the core of what I want people to know about Reagin Orthodontics. We are first and foremost Summerville residents."

Hello, my name is Peggy and I am the Customer Service Manager for Discount Ramps. I have been with the company for almost 8 years, and I have worn many hats over the years. My current job responsibilities are to work with our customers to make sure their experience with Discount Ramps is a positive one. Happy customers = return customers.
The most fulfilling part of my job is being able to help our customers find an item that will possibly improve their quality of life. We work with a lot of medical or health type situations where wheelchair ramps or lifts are required for our customers. For some customers, a wheelchair ramp allows them to be able to leave their house and no longer be confined.
My main job responsibility is to help a customer if they are having issues with their purchase. It could be that the item was damaged in shipping or it is just not compatible with their vehicle or application. We try to make the return or exchange process as easy as possible for our customers. Discount Ramps also stands behind the products, so if there is an issue with the quality we take care of it.
I think the best thing about working at Discount Ramps is the team of employees that we have. It truly is a team effort and all departments work really well together. This is by far the best place where I have been employed.
I joined the team in March of 2004 after being in the printing industry for over 12 years. I was given the opportunity and ran with it. When I first started there were only about 7 employees and now we have 40. We have experienced tremendous growth over the years and are very thankful for it.
Outside of work I enjoy reading, biking, walking and family camping. We camped a lot as kids growing up but then got out of it. We are now finding a new appreciation for it. I do not have children of my own, but I do have 2 nephews and 7 nieces and I love spending time with them all.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns' Shannon Brown opening eyes with impressive play
Beware Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown could be poised to take your starting job.
The Suns' shooting guard came off the bench and exploded for a season-high 24 points and six three-pointers (all of which came in the fourth quarter) against his former team, the Charlotte Bobcats, on Wednesday night.
Brown attributes his success to continued hard work and dedication this offseason and in practice to becoming a more well-rounded and consistent presence on the court.
"Just continue to work and get better as a basketball player," Brown said. "When I get hot, just shoot the ball, shoot it when I am open, shoot it with rhythm."
Suns head coach Alvin Gentry echoed that sentiment, saying he's been impressed with what he's seen so far from Brown this season.
"We talked about being focused and trying to improve every day he comes out and being aggressive when he's on the court but not to the point where he shoots bad shots," Gentry said.
He also said he's been impressed with Brown's attitude and work ethic.
"I just think he tries to do the right things. He wants to be a good basketball player and I think that's the key right there," Gentry said.
While Brown has opened eyes with his inspired play in a reserve role, the starter Dudley has been mired in a shooting slump. It is far too early to speculate on what Gentry might do, and he hasn't hinted at making a change, but if Brown continues to perform it would be tough to not go with the hot hand.
In the meantime, the 26-year-old remains focused on his role and helping the Suns win games anyway he can.
"Come out lead by example, go out play hard, bring energy," Brown stated. "Just go out and do whatever it takes to help this team win, no matter what it is."
Despite Brown's impressive start, he knows there are still many areas of his game in which he needs to improve upon.
"I know I still got to continue to get better on a daily basis," Brown explained. "Still get in, get my shots up, continue to watch film and try to get better as a basketball player and a teammate. My coaches and teammates definitely are going to help me out with that but as of now just continuing to try to get better."
Gentry said he and Brown have spoken at length about ways he can improve and the shooting guard has taken those words to heart.
"We had a long talk and he just said he wanted to try to get better in all phases of the game and I think his defense has improved tremendously and he's locked in," Gentry said.
He has averaged 14 points and two assists in 21 minutes so far this season for the Suns, and his coach is hopeful he'll play well against another one of his former teams when the Suns host the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday.
Brown said it's easy to get amped up when facing a team that didn't keep him in the fold.
"You always want to play good in a place that you were before," Brown said. "They let you go and you definitely got a chip on your shoulder, it might be a small one but it's definitely there. You always want to play well no matter what but against former teams, though, you want to let them know."

Retirement Guys: End of the year Investment CheckupWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | email@example.com
Before we know it, we will be celebrating the crystal ball dropping in Times Square whether it's on television, radio or in person. The ball descends 141 feet in 60 seconds. As we are well aware, it's the last 10 seconds that everyone pays the most attention to. We'd like encourage you to not wait until the last few seconds of 2013 to think about your investments. Take a few minutes to conduct a year-end investment checkup to ensure that all your investments are where they should be for the start of 2014. Last minute investment moves can be implemented to take advantage of tax and investment strategies. Also important deadlines exist that many investors need to look out for. Here is a list of 4 items investors should review before the end of the year.
First, investors who own taxable accounts should review capital gains and capital loss strategies. Thanks to several years of growth in the stock market, many investors now have capital gains built up. If that same investor has carry forward losses on his or her tax returns, sales could be made before the end of the year to quickly offset those losses. Otherwise, an investor may only be able to deduct up to $3,000 a year in losses. Recently we met an investor in his 70's that had $50,000 of carry forward losses. At $3,000 a year it would take him over 16 years to deduct all of those losses. Yet, by working with us and an accountant and by selling some of his appreciated stocks this year, he can eliminate all of the $50,000 carry forward loss this year.
If an investor does decide to make some sales before year end, that investor will also need to consider where to reinvest the money. We suggest looking at risk reduction by rebalancing the total portfolio. Throughout the year investments like stocks, bonds, and fixed accounts all perform differently. This year, in many cases stock market indexes outperformed most other investment assets classes. Rebalancing doesn't guarantee against loss, but it is a strategy designed to lower risk. This can be accomplished by having the correct percentage of investment assets in each category to meet your individual goals and risk tolerance. In our opinion, it is important to rebalance in both good and bad economic times, remember buy low and sell high.
Second, investors who own retirement accounts and are over the age 70 ½, it is important to make sure the required minimum distribution has been taken from the retirement account. The dollar amount of the required minimum distribution is calculated by the December 31st 2012 account balance divided by the IRS's life expectancy table. Normally the custodian or the company who holds the account sends an annual notice each year of the required amount. But remember, according to www.irs.gov website, it is the IRA account owner's responsibility to ensure that the required minimum distribution has been completed. Failure to take out the required minimum distribution can result in a 50% tax penalty.
Third, individual retirement account owners need to complete full or partial Roth Conversions before December 31st. Roth conversions are possible for an IRA account owner at any age. The major advantage of a Roth IRA for an account owner is qualified withdrawals can be tax-free. This can be accomplished if distributions of contributions and earnings are taken after the age of 59 ½. Also, the account owner will need to have met the five-year holding rule in order to avoid a 10% penalty. Investors with little to no taxable income, yet with large IRA's balances, should check into this strategy before year end.
Fourth, review the investment expenses in each account. Then look for ways to lower expenses in the New Year as well as talk to an accountant to find out which investment expenses could be tax deductible before year end. Investors should review both the disclosed and undisclosed fees and expenses to figure out the total cost. This can take a little work, so seek the advice of a licensed investment professional for help in determining the total cost. Making investment fees tax deductible can also take a little work. Most of the time, fees can only be deducted if an investor itemizes their deduction and if the fees are disclosed , paid from a source other than a retirement account, and are greater than 2% of adjusted gross income.

During the October 12 race, Jimmie wore his Helmet of Hope, which bore logos from 12 charities to which the Jimmie Johnson Foundation had donated grants. KidsPeace had a prominent place on that helmet, and the associated grant was presented to the KidsPeace Foster Care and Community Program office in Raleigh, NC. In addition to the $1,048 grant, the 12 beneficiaries of the foundation will also share the proceeds from the sale of tee shirts bearing all of the logos. These tee shirts are available on Jimmie's website www.jimmiejohnsonfoundation.org for $10. KidsPeace greatly appreciates Jimmie's generosity and congratulates him on his win at the Banking 500 on October 17 in Charlotte.

A group of 36 people left from Scioto County Wednesday afternoon to attend the 40th Annual March for Life in Washington D.C. on Friday. This is the seventh time a group from the area has gone to Washington for the march.
The group is made up of people from area churches and from Notre Dame High School.
"This is an opportunity for us to witness as a Christian community asking that Roe v. Wade be reversed. We pray for the legal protection of the unborn here in our country," said Fr. Joseph Yokum, Pastor of St. Monica Church and St. Peters in Wheelersburg.
Yokum said this will be his 11th time he has attended the national march.
He said there was not one march that stood over the other but, "every time we have an opportunity to go with the students and see the conversions that happen to the young people as their hearts are turned and opened up to what it is we are actually doing there, is great."
He said the hope for this trip is, "that we grow closer together in our relationship with Christ but also we silently witness to change hearts in Washington D.C."
According to the website www.marchforlife.org, "on Friday, Jan, 25 the March for Life Education and Defense Fund will host its annual Washington D.C. event to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision on abortion. Each year the March draws thousands of pro-life activists and supporters from around the country to rally at the National Mall and march to the steps of the Supreme Court."
"The March for Life is a demonstration of unity that we need to continue the fight to win over the hearts and minds of all Americans," said Jeanne Monahan, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund in a released statement.
The march will take place Friday on the National Mall.
On Saturday, Jan. 26, there will be a Scioto County March for Life held at 1 p.m. with an indoor program at 2 p.m. at Holy Redeemer Activity Center, 805 Offnere St., in Portsmouth.
The event will feature singing by the Clay High Chorus with guest speakers State Representative Dr. Terry Johnson and State Senator Joe Uecker.
For more information about the national march for life visit www.marchforlife.org.

text: As Valentines day season approaches I can already feel the love in the air. On Monday my sorority sister announced her engagement during our candle light ceremony and I'm just so happy for her. Her ring was just simply gorgeous. She's a senior, and you can tell she's all ready to move on to the next chapter in her life once she graduates. I wonder will I experience anything like that my senior year. My close friend is also engaged and getting married next spring and she asked me to be her bridesmaid. I'm so excited because I never been apart of a wedding party before. I really thought out of all my friends ill be the first to be married since I'm the hopeless romantic. I probably could of been engaged now but I decided to finish school first or at least get to the end of my junior year. Marriage is truly something that has to be taken serious and I want to be mentally and physically ready.

Hi everyone!
I was diagnosed with HELLP 5 days postpartum after the birth of my daughter who arrived at 40 wks 4 days (With my firstborn son i did have pre-e diagnosed at 39 wks 5 days so I was induced but it resolved right after birth.) I have been advised to NOT have a third by my doctor and am wondering if there is any new info on HELLP and subsequent pregnancies. I am wondering if i should ask my doctor for a referral to a MFM specialist but wonder if this is futile as she has already strongly advised my against future pregnancy. I would not want to get pregnant if it was risky but would like to have all the information before ruling it out. i do have an auto- immune diagnosis (grave's discovered after i went briefly hyperthroid after firstborn's birth) and am not sure if that is related, just noticed others here posting about autoimmune conditions. I have been unable to part with any baby clothes or gear as I really was hoping to have one more baby. I strongly trust my doctor's opinion so am not sure if I should ask for the referral to MFM specialist.

An Aiken woman is now dead after she was struck by a vehicle while walking on the sidewalk on York Street Saturday with her 2-year-old son.
Lukisha Nicole Thomas, 29 years old of Aiken, her son, and a man, Ray Charles Wooden Jr., were walking south on the sidewalk of York Street around 2 p.m. Saturday when a 2006 Jeep Cherokee, driven by Thomas G. Woodruff Jr. of Aiken, left the roadway and struck Thomas and Wooden, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
Thomas and Wooden were transported by ambulance to Georgia Regents University shortly after the incident. Thomas was pronounced dead at around 3:40 p.m. from multiple body trauma following surgery, Calton said.
Wooden is currently in surgery and his condition is unknown, Carlton said. Thomas' son was evaluated and has been released from Aiken Regional Medical Centers.
An autopsy on Thomas is scheduled for Monday in Newberry, Carlton said. The collision is being investigated by the Aiken County Coroner's Office and the Aiken Department of Public Safety.

A few thoughts I shared with the church this morning. Even though we are thousands of miles away the tragedy has hit many in our church hard. Many feel vulnerable in the wake of such evil. I simply tried to respond pastorally. I scrapped the sermon I had and reconfigured it in light of the events of Friday (Saturday morning here).
John 8:12 – "I am the Light of the World"
The world is in darkness this morning. Grief has descended upon the hearts of many as we mourn the loss of those who were supposed to grow old and not die young. The events of the past two days in Connecticut have plunged many of us into a place of sadness and even anger.
Events like this leave us feeling vulnerable and scared. Although we are not directly involved we feel a sense of grief. The sheer magnitude of the tragedy lends itself to a kind of community grieving. We weep with those who weep as Jesus would have done.
In such a time of darkness is it not God's providence then that we should turn to our sermon text and find the words of Jesus, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." At times like this it can be hard to see how Jesus is the light of the world, but he is. At the heart of the gospel message we proclaim as God's people are the words of Jesus, "I am the light of the world!" In a world darkened by sin his words could not be more important.
I had originally planned to begin my sermon this morning by talking about the silly prank call made to the London hospital and then the news of the terrible tragedy in Connecticut broke and our hearts were further burdened by the darkness of sin and death that is all too real in this world.
I don't know about you but there are times when I find it all too much. At times it seems that darkness is overcoming the light and the good in this world. At times like this "Jesus light of the world" can be an easy pithy statement to recite. However, these few words mean something. These words are strong and steadfast. These words are the bedrock of our faith in times of tragedy and the evil we have all witnessed.
I do not presume to solve all of the world's problems this morning but may we consider for just a few minutes what it means for Jesus to be the light of the world.
The darkest place I have ever been is 1km below the earth's surface in what is known as the Olympic Damn Copper and Uranium mine. As we reached the lowest part of the mine the driver stopped the vehicle and turned off all of the lights. Only one light remained; a small green L.E.D from the radio. The man covered it with his fingers. Darkness poured over us. We could not see our hands in front of our faces. We could hear each other breathing but no form could be recognised. It was a disorientating experience. Then the man lifted his finger off the light. It burst forth like the sun. All of a sudden everyone's attention turned to the direction of the light.
No matter how dark it is, darkness can never overcome light. Even at this the darkest place I had ever visited, darkness could not overcome the smallest of lights.
Christmas is a wonderful time of hope and joy, of family and friends of giving and receiving. And yet for others it can be a time of great personal or emotional loneliness. It is easy for a darkness to descend over the human soul. To those among us who are struggling with such darkness I would say the light of the world can never be overcome by your darkness. In the midst of everything you are going through Jesus is there as your one true light. No matter how small the flame, light is still present and with the light God is with you and there is hope.
This week as I meditated on Psalm 112 one verse in particular stood out to me. Verse 4, "Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous." In the midst of darkness the light of Jesus dawns. The light of the world arises as you and I give witness to him.
- If you are doing it tough right now I pray that this Psalm would be of comfort to you. Do not fear the darkness for it cannot overcome the light of God's presence.
- May this Psalm be our prayer for the families of those killed on Friday. May they find light, however small however faint, in the midst of their grief.
This morning you are going to be given a candle. An advent candle. It is a gift from the creative team to you. It comes with a little tag that simply says, "I am the light of the world, This week I encourage you to take a moment and light the candle and as you do may you be aware of God's presence to you. No matter how dark the news may be or how dark life may be for you may you find comfort in the small light that flickers. Likewise, as you light the candle pray for those in our world who are engulfed by darkness; an act of love, a prayer that could make all of the difference. Jesus is the light of the world, darkness has not overcome it. Will you and I follow him and walk in the light?

A local man was arrested after he allegedly stole a truck, as well as several items from Walmart.
Gregory Carl Chakmakis, 33, of West Jefferson was arrested on Jan. 21, and charged with larceny of a motor vehicle and resisting a public officer. The Ashe County Sheriff's Office made the arrest.
The West Jefferson Police Department also had outstanding warrants for Chakmakis related to items allegedly stolen from Wal-Mart, including a 46-inch television, Mag-Lite, and a Nintendo Wii console, all valued at nearly $900.
The ACSO also reported that Chakmakis had stolen at 1994 Toyota truck, valued at $6,500. The owner of the truck met Chakmakis driving the stolen truck while in another vehicle. The owner then called his wife and found out that the truck was indeed missing from his house, and then immediately notified the sheriff's office.
Officers located the stolen vehicle parked outside of a trailer park in the Beaver Creek area, and surrounded the area waiting for the suspect to leave. According to the ACSO, Chakmakis fled on foot for approximately 200 yards before being captured and taken to the Ashe County Detention Center.
Chakmakis is currently being held under a $32,000 bond.

I see a number of "Why is my child doing x to hurt him/herself"
I hope that this may shed a little bit of light. When I do such behaviors it is because I feel stressed way beyond my threshold. Every human being has a melting point when they just throw up their arms and "Can't take it anymore!" I've seen it portrayed in NT culture as slapping one's head, etc.
Anyways what I am feeling right before and in the midst: Extreme anxiety I can't describe or put into words. I lose all logical thought and react on an instinctive level. It is the fight or flee reaction. I can do one of two things. Either I lash out in aggression or I flee like a wild animal set free from a cage.
Since it is not socially acceptable to attack people, I turn that anger against myself.
If it is an argument that set it up or a reaction to mounting anxiety between my parent and me, usually such a dramatic reaction will get them to stop yelling at me and work on a way to calm down. If you notice you're getting stressed out and starting to raise your voice, maybe that is a clue that both of you need to find a way to calm down.
I find when I am upset, having alone time to just back off and get distracted by some other activity helps a LOT. If I have to, I like to talk it out with someone who does not get emotional.
I wrote an essay about a specific example of one that happened to me as a 24 year old:

As I continue my endeavor to finish up some unfinished projects, here is what I'm starting today.
I picked up this AKU-94 kit second hand probably 5 or 6 years ago and never got around to it. The guy I bought it from had painted it coyote gray, but got no further.
I'm using a very nice, almost new condition Romy G kit. The biggest complaint about these conversions was the spongy trigger due to the long trigger wire.
That is what intrigues me most about doing this build and why I bought the kit in the first place. I want to see if there is a way to correct that. I have no Idea how at this point, except maybe installing some sort of a bell crank system to shorten and maybe take some of the bends out of the trigger wire.
I'm going to build it on one of copes new polish blanks, that I have already heat treated. That is the other thing that intrigues me about this build. I'm anxious to do a build on one of these receivers.
Here is what I'm starting with.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Spoilers For Season 4: Is Someone Getting Resurrected?
It takes a lot for people to be declared dead dead on The Vampire Diaries. A lack of vampire blood in the system, forgetting to put on your magical ring, and not being an Original can all contribute to permanent death.
We've also seen ghosts and had spells bring characters back from the grave. So, it wasn't terribly surprising when Professor Shane (David Alpay) told Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) she might get to see her deceased parents — and he wasn't just talking about visiting their graves. Zap2It teases that the werewolf isn't the only one hoping to resurrect a loved one.
Professor Shane has his own motives, and they're all about bringing someone he's lost back to life. It's not clear if this is tied up in Bonnie's (Kat Graham) new form of "expression" or if this has something to do with that Shane/Silas comparison everyone is making.
We're just calling it now: Mystic Falls is getting zombies.

The Antlers City Council hopes to pass a new tax that will be voted on by residents of the City of Antlers on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. This new tax will help to generate funds to repair streets and promote tourism for Antlers.
This tax is being refereed to as the Lodging Tax. However, the residents of Antlers will not be the ones paying this tax. No new taxes will be added to the residents of Antlers by passing this new tax. This Lodging Tax will affect those who wish to use the hotels and motels that are within the city limits by adding a 7 1/2% tax to their bills.
Antlers is currently the only city in the area that doesn't already have this tax in place and the City Council believes this is an opportune way to promote the City and facilitate street repairs. This additional 7.5% tax would be dedicated only to tourism and street repair and could not be used for anything but those two items. The proposed Lodging Tax would not affect any motels, hotels or cabin rentals outside of the city limits.
"This is a way to promote the community as well as a way to generate funds for street repair," said Joel Taylor, City Manager of Antlers. "Visitors would be helping to promote the City and maintain the roadways that they use while in town."
The estimated revenue that could be generated from this additional tax would reach between $8,000 and $10,000 annually. The funds would be split between the two (tourism & streets) with tourism receiving 1/3 of the funds and street repairs gaining 2/3 of the collected tax dollars.
The funds that would be going to tourism would most likely be spent on promoting the City of Antlers and advertising for local events that would not only benefit the motels and hotels, but also the community and local businesses.

Opposes highway widening plan
The S.C. Department of Transportation has revealed plans to turn Hitchcock Parkway into a four and five lane monument to suburban blight and ugliness. If you like the appearance and aesthetic appeal of I-20 and the Rudy Mason Parkway, you will surely admire the new Hitchcock Freeway. Imagine having those roadways adjacent to your home.
Funds were obtained based on the need for an improved access from I-20 (at SC Route 19) to SRS. This is nonsense. $260 million was spent constructing the Palmetto Parkway, which provides a lightly traveled link from I-20 to the front door of SRS, via SC Route 125. Additionally, tens of millions of dollars were spent on the four lane connector around the east side of Aiken. Keep in mind that the SRS workforce has declined nearly 60 percent – a decrease of 14,000 workers.
The only redeeming features of the SC-DOT proposal are biking and pedestrian paths. These should be retained in the design. Otherwise, the concept of laying down huge amounts of new pavement should be abandoned in favor of making common-sense and cost-effective improvements to facilitate vehicular movement. The use of an engineering scalpel rather than a bureaucratic meat ax will result in a far superior outcome for all concerned – one that is vastly less costly, less intrusive and less environmentally destructive than what has been proposed.
Can it possibly be that the highest and best use of $26.5 million is to create a concrete and asphalt wasteland out of what is now a tree-lined parkway, abutting long-established residential neighborhoods, as well as the crown jewel of Aiken, Hitchcock Woods?
It is some of our local elected representatives who have brought this wolf to our door. Hopefully they will recognize the folly of the proposal, and take action to mitigate this tragic waste of our money.

OK. I have a wireless network. Had one for some years now. Excellent for roaming around my property with my notebook. Also just perfect that I can wire my own desktop along with my wife's and we can share the high speed cable internet connection, as well as share files among these computers. After all, I guess that was my primary purpose in setting up the network. However.....
I have a load of media files stored on my desktop computer and also on external drives, both USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 (Firewire). I keep hearing and reading all about how great it is - running an NAS or especially a home media server - that I can enjoy my media files all over my house. But can I? I mean, practically? I realize that I can access and play any of my media files on the network via my wirelessly connected notebook. Heck, I do that all the time. But let's face it: music sucks big time when it's trying to blare out of the tiny speakers that most notebooks have.
I would like to be able to play my music in any room in the house I like. From my network storage. And on something that is made for listening to music! I finally developed enough interest in this to start roaming the web, looking high and low for receivers of some kind that will play my music from my network. Without, that is, having to outfit the house with another, new-fangled "system". Without dishing out several hundred or a couple thousand dollars of new equipment.
Alas, I don't think that I can.
All my searching keeps bringing me to sites selling great and wonderful "systems"; basically meaning linked, proprietary servers and receivers, that will only work with each other. All naturally claim to be the latest and best out there on the market. Yeah, right. I'm talking about systems like Popcorn Hour which is now owned by Logitech. (Which means that they will very soon have drivers that will confound your computer to no end!).
Is there really no way to listen to my music over my network using just a media server, like maybe an HP Media Server, and some sort of standard receiver? Not a personal media player. Something that has speakers and can be heard throughout a room? Am I really required to purchase a bunch of new equipment to send and receive the files which I already have the ability to send? Just no way to receive and play them...
I recently read a ton of forums and blogs that all had a lot about house-wide A/V options, but didn't really give me a clue as to how to do that without getting a new, proprietary set of equipment. Aaarrgghh!
I'm hoping that we have some experts - or even pure amateurs - here at DC who can advise me about this. Or at least point me in a direction where I can learn without being bombarded with ads/advice about new whole-house systems.

Horry County leaders confirm Walmart submitted a proposal to build a tenth store in the county.
Horry County spokesperson Lisa Bourcier told WBTW Walmart submitted plans to build a Walmart Neighborhood Market and Murphy USA gas station on the site of the old Suck Bang Blow Four Corners.
The motorcycle bar on U.S. Highway 17 Bypass near Inlet Square Mall and Tournament Boulevard closed last year and the building was torn down in May.
Bourcier said the land would not need to be re-zoned, and all Walmart would need is a permit to build.
If approved, it would be the companys tenth store in the county.
There are seven Walmart stores and a Sams Club already open, along with a Walmart Neighborhood Market that opened this spring on U.S. Highway 17 near Ocean Lakes Campground and S.C. Highway 544.

This week I would like to introduce you to Love And Theft, a country duo you are probably familiar with because of their hit single, "Angel Eyes, from their self-titled album. The duo is made up of Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson, both of whom play guitar and sing vocals. The two are nominated for "Vocal Duo of The Year" for this year's Academy of Country Music Awards, on Sunday April 7th.
I am thrilled that the two are getting some more recognition for their music! I saw Love & Theft in concert back in August and was blown away by the quality of their vocals. The guys' voices blended so flawlessly; throughout the show, one of them would stop singing on a verse, allowing the other to take over, and had I not been looking, I would have missed the transition entirely.
Their latest album is truly incredible, with thoughtful lyrics, amazing vocals, and a perfect balance between serious and fun. My recommendations from their sophomore, self-titled album include their current single, "Running Out of Air", "Town Drunk", "Amen", and "If You Ever Get Lonely".
For more information on the duo visit their official website.
Below I've included a video of an unreleased song, "You Didn't Want Me", that I recorded at their concert I attended in August.

"Perfect card for presenting family events and special photos. Good selection of sections for large and smaller photos. Suggest option for no design on back of card to offer large space for text and a photo."
"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"
"The colors, quality and design were exceptional. We had an image that was perfect for this card and at least 10 family members pulled me aside to tell me it was the most gorgeous card they had received."

From a purely business and customer relations perspective, there is absolutely no excuse for the way this all went down. None. They have not only damaged their reputation further with their own player base, but they have damaged it with potential new players. I am one of those new players, and I've seen hot dog stands run as a tighter business than AV. The way they look to us from the outside is very indicitive of how they function inside the company, and that doesn't give me much hope that this beta and launch will be much more than a disaster.
I also believe they missed a *HUGE* opportunity here to get the jump on all those sandbox and hybrid games coming out in 2013. As fun as the hardcore PvP in DF:UW sounds, there are way better fully-featured sandboxes coming down the line that can and will cut into AV's potential player base. The Repopulation is one of those, and those guys are running a tight ship with regular communication not only on their forums, but on sites like this one and in the form of in-depth monthly development updates.
Greed Monger is also very interesting, and there are other games coming as well. AV had a chance to grab a lot of new players who were disappointed with MMOs this Fall/Winter, and introduce them to something completely different. I was very much looking forward to it myself, but now it doesn't even seem relevant. By the time this game emerges from beta, assuming it does in the first or second quarter next year, there will several other MMOs to choose from.
I also wonder if anyone knows what "debug mode" means. It likely means the game is going to be struggling and lagging with not only the load of players, but the load of the game being in a logging debug mode, as anyone who works in software knows. I can already hear the beta players screaming about performance issues.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Contrast the official information available online about DF:UW to what these guys have here, including their huge monthly deve updates, and their participation on their own forums:

Actually I agree more with some of the replies to the post. Maybe Aventurine could of handled this better but I am still unsure of this. They are not a large successful company but they have got alot of coverage for their game recently so I would not be surprised if it is a little overwhelming for them and that they need more time to communicate with other parties involved.
I am guessing some of you out there think I am giving them too much credit but I do not believe I am, I believe the situation is alot more complicated than most people think and they should be given some more leeway on this. People should not be so quick to judge, moan and presume.

This has been years in the making.
For the people that played the game for years with no real updates and paid for it well we have been patient enough.
If you are new to AV and Darkfall well you better have a crap ton of patience and be used to reading one thing and another happen.
It was a great game that needed a lot more attention form AV. They stopped updating the game a long time ago with promises of some big patch that eventually turned into this whole new game. I am exited and worried at the same time. But I am sick of excuses packaged in wording making it sound like it is in my best interest.

For those of us who appreciate a game where there risk, a certain thrill from doing normally mundane tasks, theres this, a few failed and unplayable games most of which died (MO still in alpha in terms of quality)....
For sticking with this game through less than blockbuster population numbers, AV earns my respect. Are they god aweful conveying issues, information, and keeping deadlines....hell yeah. But they are the most competant people doing this type of thing.
Many wont play it for its look, for its pvp ruleset and the stigma attached to it ( i think most assume its you losing your purple wow raid set that took you 100 hours to get based on guild distributed loot rolls)...many more will try the game and hate it for its open ended, sandbox mechanics. "all there is to do is grind" ahh love that complaint...a complaint for a person who lost their imagination playing themeparks.
For those of us who like this all...this is it. The only place to be.
Hell id consider a lot more themeparks if they even just added clan seiges and territory warfare with no factional population divide.....all the endgame and metagame you need .

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
They should ahve just stated 3-4 months to make sure its perfect for our players, instead of pushing it back many times. This way when its done, they could have released it early and looked like hero's.
Or not, another push back or 2 may realy help get more subs ........

Ultra competitive players will not report an exploit, but in "open" beta there will be plenty of people that will.
Let's get real - early game will be unbalanced, and some players will get advantage early on due to looking for exploits 24/7. Game mechanics may be fixed later, but long term effects of exploits could spoil economy / power balance for months, if not years.
The real problem for hardcore players is that after long, open beta the "secret knowledge" will be worth a lot less.

I have alot of patience when it comes to mmorpg's because it is not a simple process and it is a work in progress. I have played more mmorpg's than most, it is my favourite genre and have been a gamer since I was very very young. The ammount of time I have put into mmorpg's probably borders on the rediculous.
Most people on these forum's seem so damn bitter about mmorpg's. It is like half of them like the genre but have just had bad experience with them and the companies... I think most of the bitterness is ignorance. Most seem to believe that they could do it better and they judge without relevant information. There are many companies out there who have given bad judgment and flopped a release and the reason is because it is not a simple process. Look at sony with planetside 2 the eu lot could not even log in when it was released. Look at eve online, that game is totally different to what it was back in the day, it takes alot of time, effort and patience to get to a stable stage.
If someone is going to decide they do not want to play a game that they think they will enjoy because a company is trying to secure a stable release well then it is their loss. I plan to play the game and hopefully enjoy it. At whatever rate, there will be progress with the game and the more support they get the better the progress will be. Why do people take a delay as if it is a personal insult or something. I do not deny that it is possible they could of handled things better but I also can not actually assume that they could of done things better because I do not have all the relevant information, I do not work for the company. It is quite possible that something came up that they did not expect that needed to be addressed before a release. Given the dev post it actually seems this may be true.
Instead of being negative about it and whining, people should try to be positive. I am not acting on blind faith here, I am giving leeway to a company to set things right and hopefully they will. If they do not then that is a real shame because the concept and style of the game is very good in my opinion. Here is to hoping Aventurine sort it out and make a good, fun game to play.

It was predictable, what is also predictable is it probably won't be the only push-back.
However, im afraid online communities don't often benefit from delays, all that happens is the expectations go up and if/when at release it's a buggy bag of cats everyone cries foul and wonders what state it was in before the push-back.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy :)

Since Naperville is the fifth largest city in Illinois next to Chicago,I would think you could buy Volupte Sheer Candy in one of your shopping centers. Perhaps a high end department store or Sephora, or Ulta. I know you can get it on Amazon. I buy Yves St. Laurent from there all the time. You will love Volupte, all Yves products are magnifique!
Organic Fashionista Jul 29, 2012
I did not get this color, though it looks fabulous. If it has a golden base it probably would look lovely on you. If you have never tried Volupte' Sheer Candy before, I must tell you that it is dreamy rich and smells wonderful. It is fantastic, you feel like you could eat it! I think I will try this color. I am light olive with undertones of gold and blue. Wow, I sound like an alien.
Good luck, with Volupte Sheer Candy I don't think you could go wrong with any color.

The nationally third-ranked USC Aiken baseball team closed out its 2013 regular-season home campaign with a dominating 12-2 Senior Night victory over rival Augusta State in the second game of the 2013 Outback Cup on Wednesday evening at Roberto Hernandez Stadium.
USCA (38-9) finishes the 2013 regular-season 5-0 against the Jaguars. The Pacers are now 69-20 all-time against Augusta State (10-34). USCA is 9-1 all-time in Outback Cup contests.
USCA, which was ranked No. 2 behind Mount Olive in the first Southeast Regional poll of the season on Wedneday, opened the 2013 Outback Cup with a 4-1 10-inning victory over the Jaguars at Lake Olmstead Stadium on March 27. The Pacers swept a three-game conference series from Augusta State at the 'Bert in early April.
The Pacers commenced the first inning of Senior Night on Wednesday evening by plating five runs in the top of the first inning. The inning was punctuated with a three-run home run by Ryan Metzler.
The Pacers added single runs each in the top of the second and third innings before posting four in the bottom of the fourth. USCA's final run of the game came with a lone run in the bottom of the sixth inning.
USCA closed its resounding victory out-hitting Augusta State, 11-6.Three Pacers recorded multiple hits in the game with Metzler and Bill Gerstenslager leading the way with three hits each.
Metzler finished the Pacer win with five RBIs in addition to his three hits. He scored one run.
Gerstenslager finished one home run away from the cycle as he recorded his first triple of the year to go along with his 21st double of the season. Gerstenslager scored three runs and drove in another two.
Branden Millhouse finished with two runs scored in addition to his two hits. He also had three stolen bases.
No Jaguar was able to capture multiple hits.
The Pacer victory saw 13 pitchers see the mound between the two teams. USCA had seven pitchers see time on the hill. The seven combined to strike out 11.
USCA reliever Ben Black obtained the victory on the hill to move to 3-0 on the year.
Augusta State starter Curtis Parker (0-4) suffered the loss in the game. He allowed five runs in his one inning on the mound.
The weekend schedule for the USCA-Georgia Southwestern Peach Belt Conference series at Hurricane Stadium has been altered.
The final regular-season series of the year for the Pacers will now begin with a 6 p.m. contest on Friday. The league series will then close with a doubleheader on Saturday. The first game of the doubleheader is set for noon.
Winners of 11 of its last 12, USCA closed out last week by taking two out of three games from Peach Belt Conference foe Columbus State at Roberto Hernandez Stadium.
USCA's dominating series-clinching 19-4 win over Columbus State on Sunday, April 21 allowed the Peach Belt Conference-leading Pacers to move to 21-6 in league play this season.
The Pacers now need just one more Peach Belt Conference victory in their series with Georgia Southwestern this weekend to guarantee an outright Peach Belt Conference championship.
