The tenth anniversary of the Halo franchise is coming this November, and McFarlane Toys is celebrating by bringing you even more Halo action figures!
In addition to this fall's Halo: Reach Series 5, we'll be releasing a special bonus series commemorating this milestone moment. Our Halo: Anniversary line consists of new and updated figures from the entire range of Halo video games, from 2001's Halo: Combat Evolved through 2009's Halo 3: ODST.
Halo: Anniversary's diverse lineup includes a unique, low-polycount version of Master Chief as he appeared in the very first Halo game; an all-new figure of Dutch to supplement your ODST collection; an updated version of the Arbiter in Halo 2-style silver armor; a new color of Halo 3 Grunt; and a second chance to get the hard-to-find Cortana figure, originally released in limited quantities back in 2008.
To make this series even more special, each figure comes with a piece of our very first Halo build-a-figure! OK, it's not really a "figure," but it's something all Halo fans recognize: the iconic skull-and-crossed swords emblem that represents the player's selected level of difficulty! The more pieces you collect, the higher the difficulty your plaque will show. Get just the two halves of the plaque to represent Easy difficulty, add a sword or two to bump it up to Normal or Heroic, and finish it off with the Elite skull to make your emblem truly Legendary.
Joining the five-figure assortment is a pair of boxed three-packs. Our Master Chief Evolution set showcases the star of the Halo trilogy, while the Fearless Leaders collection highlights the field commanders of Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach.
Need more detail? Here's the full rundown:
Halo: Anniversary Series 1
Master Chief (Halo: Combat Evolved)
This all-new figure portrays the hero of the Halo trilogy just as he appeared in the game that started it all: 2001's Halo: Combat Evolved. The stylized, angular design is sure to remind long-time fans of how he appeared when he was first introduced ten years ago. This newest Master Chief is larger than our Halo 3 figures, and is perfectly in scale with our recent Halo: Reach collection. Figure comes with Assault Rifle, Frag Grenade, and the left half of the "Easy" Difficulty Plaque.
Dutch (Halo 3: ODST)
The heavy weapons specialist of Buck's ODST squad joins our action figure lineup: Corporal Taylor H. Miles, better known as "Dutch." This new figure is in scale with our previous Halo 3: ODST figures, so Dutch won't look out of place with his teammates. Figure comes with Dutch's signature weapon, the Spartan Laser. Dutch also comes with a Frag Grenade and the right half of the "Easy" Difficulty Plaque.
Cortana (Halo 3)
Originally released back in 2008 in our very first series of Halo action figures, Cortana returns for the 10th Anniversary of the Halo franchise. This figure features clear blue plastic and a light-up base to represent her holographic appearance. Cortana also comes with a knife for the Difficulty Plaque that can be added to upgrade it to "Normal" difficulty.
Arbiter (Halo 2)
Another classic character from our earliest Halo lines returns for the 10th Anniversary: the Arbiter, originally from Halo 3 Series 2. Thel 'Vadam comes with the ceremonial armor of the Arbiter rank, a Covenant Energy Sword, and a Plasma Grenade. Figure also comes with the second knife for the Difficulty Plaque, upgrading it to "Heroic" level.
Grunt (black) (Halo 3)
The ever-popular Unggoy Grunts come in many colors and ranks, and the Halo Anniversary series introduces a new figure is clad in dark, stealthy gray armor, and comes with a Fuel Rod Gun and a Plasma Grenade. If you're collecting all the pieces of the Difficulty Plaque, this small figure comes with a big bonus: the Elite skull that finishes the emblem and upgrades it to "Legendary" status.
Difficulty Plaque (Halo series)
The Difficulty Plaque is our very first Halo "build-a-figure" item. This iconic symbol has been featured in every Halo game, and is the perfect emblem to celebrate ten years of Halo. The Difficulty Plaque is only available by collecting these special Anniversary figures, and the more you collect, the higher the difficulty you can create! The completed plaque measures approximately three inches tall, and comes with attachments for displaying it on a desk or hanging it on a wall.
Master Chief Evolution 3-Pack
The star of the Halo trilogy has evolved quite a bit over the past decade, and the Master Chief Evolution 3-Pack covers his three best-known versions. Representing the first Halo game is the Halo: Combat Evolved Master Chief. Figure includes Mark V armor, Assault Rifle, Frag Grenade, and a unique "low polygon count" design. Straight from the cover of the second game is our Halo 2 Master Chief, with Mark VI armor, dual-wielded SMGs, and a Frag Grenade. Finishing the fight is the Halo 3 Master Chief. This figure includes battle-damaged Mark VI armor, a Sniper Rifle and a Frag Grenade. As an added bonus, both the Halo 2 and Halo 3 versions have been recreated at a larger size to fit in perfectly with the Halo: Combat Evolved Master Chief and our recent Halo: Reach figures.
Fearless Leaders 3-Pack
Master Chief may be the most well-known leader of the Halo series, but fans know he's not the only one. The "Fearless Leaders" 3-pack celebrates a trio of other bold heroes from the blockbuster Halo games. Representing Halo 3: ODST is the leader of its Helljumper squad, Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck. Buck features his signature Assault Rifle and comes with a removable ODST helmet. The real-time-strategy game, Halo Wars, introduced several new leaders to the Halo universe, including the UNSC Marine, Sergeant John Forge. Forge features his forest camouflage armor and Shotgun. The latest game, Halo: Reach, introduced players to the Spartan-IIIs of Noble Team, and their leader, Carter. The Fearless Leaders 3-pack includes the original helmeted version of Carter with his Designated Marksman Rifle and a Frag Grenade.
Halo Anniversary hits stores everywhere this October, right between the big Halo Fest event and the release of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
Halo: Anniversary Series 1 - Advance
Can't wait until October? Neither can we! McFarlane Toys is kicking off the celebration early, with an "advance wave" of Anniversary figures hitting the shelves of major retailers in late July! For this preview line, we're bringing back four figures from our very first Halo game license, Halo 3. Halo Anniversary - Advance consists of:
Platinum Master Chief
The classic Halo 3 version of Master Chief returns, in a commemorative "Platinum Hits" silver paint scheme! John-117 features his damaged Mark VI armor, Assault Rifle, and two Frag Grenades.
Spartan Recon (team red)
The most highly-sought after armor of Halo 3 makes a return to store shelves, this time, in classic "team one" red. Comes with Plasma Rifle. Figure also includes the deactivated Energy Sword hilt accessory, previously only available with the SDCC-exclusive Grifball figure.
The ever-popular Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, first released back in Halo 3 Series 2, drops in with an updated paint scheme that now includes the white stripes on the shoulder armor. Figure is equipped with a Battle Rifle.
Elite Combat (purple)
The classic Combat armor and the classic Covenant purple color scheme combine to create the definitive Elite action figure. Is this Sangheili warrior a frightening new enemy, as in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, or a powerful new ally of humanity, as in Halo 3?
Halo: Anniversary - Advance will be in Walmart and Target stores in late July. This teaser line is being produced in lower quantities than the full Anniversary line, so if you see them, act fast!

Nowadays a lot of schools require students to wear uniforms. Some people think that it is such a drag, but us Bratz think it's totes easy to spruce up the outfit and rock that uniform with style!
There's a lot more to style than just the clothes you wear. Even if others are wearing the same clothes, a girl can always make any outfit her own by adding some fun accessories or playing with different hairstyles. Here's an idea – if you have to go to school wearing a uniform and the colors are blue, black or khaki, try adding a bold orange, pink or red necklace. Even some funky color stud earrings will do the trick.
Another popular way to accessorize is with a belt. Maybe try to find a metallic gold or silver belt to jazz up the day. Tons of inexpensive belts can be found at places like Forever 21 or H&M. There are plenty of fun ways to mix up belt styles. You can be traditional and place the belt in the loops, but if you are wearing a skirt try loosely hanging the belt around your waist. Or maybe even grab a pretty sash (or scarf if it's long enough) and tie it around the waist. That could totally fancy up the outfit!
If you're looking for another way to style up that everyday uniform, try having some fun with different hairstyles. Wear cute headbands that can be found at accessory stores like Justice, Claire's, Forever 21, or even the little boutiques at your local mall. Also try fun styles that are totes on trend right now like the top knot (check this YouTube Tutorial out to learn how), a side pony-tail, a funky braid (here are 4 easy braids you can recreate from Refinery29) or girly-girl curls (ask mom to help curl your hair).
Remember girls & guys, be sure to know your school's dress code rules and always ask your parents for permission to surf the Internet for tips & tools, or to use any sort of heating products.
~ Love ~

It's not so much multitasking as it is efficient task switching. An OS that maintains consistent session state for some or all of the current running apps and services enables the user to quickly switch between them as needed or desired. Humans are actually very poor "multitaskers" and on a small form factor like a phone or tablet it's near impossible. The ability to move between apps without needing to refresh, reload, or anything else resembling backtracking through the application or thought process has real world value, however.
A multitasking OS, regardless of form factor, delivers a better experience for humans who often, or even occasionally, switch between tasks (meaning apps). That's the core reason why multitasking within a single user interface was invented in the first place.

She promotes this message in school, colleges and local communities. One day, she'll be known for making a complete new generation of conservationists.
In addition to this, Yeoh has also worked for the Wildaid Program where, she is known for protecting the endangered floral and fauna species. Each year, she donates a handsome sum for this charity.
In 2007, Michelle Yeoh was appointed as the ambassador for an African "Make Roads Safe" campaign. Based on the survey reports of 2007, approximately 14,000 people lose their lives on the roads of South Africa, due to road accidents. Yeoh has met with the families of the local road crash victims. She has been a hopeful silver lining in their dark lives. Moreover, she has addressed this issue publicly before the politicians as well.
Michelle Yeoh has worked in a documentary that reveals the true status of the accident victims. In association with the children and families of Broadlands Park, she has encouraged several road shows based on road safety. This world will always remember her for the noble deeds and compassionate words of motivation she has showered upon people!
Michelle Yeoh – General Characteristics From Astrological Point Of View
Born on 6th August 1962, at Ipoh in Malaysia, Michelle Yeoh is known for her humane qualities and acting skills. She is born under the sign of Leo- The Lion that symbolizes immense energy, leadership qualities and grandeur.
Her astrological charts suggest a strong combination of Saturn and Jupiter that makes her a happy-go-lucky and an easy going person. Though she tends to take things lightly at times, she is also known to be a fighter who can endlessly struggle for several hours. Rf test socket Sometimes, she can be short-tempered, hashed tongue and arrogant if she's irritated beyond the limits. The presence of Mercury in the Scorpio sign suggests that Yeoh is a passionate lover but she'll suffer from endless heartbreaks that will leave her cold and hateful towards love relationship.
Michelle Yeoh is self-criticizer. She criticizes herself for her negative deeds and tries to improve upon them. Hard circumstances and her failed relationships have made her demanding by nature. Yeoh is an introvert person who believes in working all alone. She is practical by nature and believes in expressing herself in limited words. She's soft and tries to avoid quarrels. She stands for the oppressed and needy. She is sacrificing by nature and tends to be sensitive and generous towards others.
Yeoh has deep concern for human emotions. She doesn't like to hurt people. She has always been very helping and compassionate towards her loved ones but no one has ever reciprocated the same feelings towards her. This has made her tensed and depressed at several occasions. However, despite of all this struggle and hard work, she will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, each time. Michelle is ambitious and curious. She is rarely satisfied with the events going on around her. Her results are always delayed by hazards however this tends to encourage her for performing in a better manner.
Overall, her health would be average. Though, she won't be suffering from much physical injuries but, the rate of mental traumas would be high. If she is not conscious about her health, she'll be at a risk of developing mental diseases in due course of time.
She is a struggler and a believer of spiritual ideas and aspirations. She may practice self-denial and asceticism for developing holy qualities in her. She will be involved in in-depth study of world religions, philosophy and spiritualism. At times, she may lose heart but she would never quit from this path.
Constant betrayal has made her negative towards love and friendship. Michelle Yeoh tends to avoid social interaction, marriage and love relationships as much as possible. Since she finds it difficult to express herself, she believes that no one is there to listen to her. She has developed a strong sense of personal inadequacy. Therefore, she is a solitary fighter. Despite of all these ups and downs, Yeoh will appear as a victorious fighter. Fame and fortune shall kiss her feet and she'll show this world that she is the best!
Michelle Yeoh is an inspiration personality for the youth of present generation.

Airline food is rarely something that you want to replicate at home. On a recent press trip to Asia, though I was treated to business class flights. We kicked off our long-haul back to the States with a 2-hour leg from Hanoi to Hong Kong; it was late morning and I'd breakfasted on pho noodle soup and croissant, thinking that I wouldn't eat until the afternoon when we reached Hong Kong.
But we were served a full lunch, and I suddenly felt hungry when I got a whiff of the meal that the flight staff was reheating. It smelled comforting — garlic, soy sauce, maybe fish sauce too. Continue reading

Jan Pugh passing torch at Packer Creek PotteryWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Jan Pugh's name has been synonymous with Packer Creek Pottery for the past 34 years. Royalty, former first ladies and comedians are among the famous owners of her brightly colored clay creations.
In November, Pugh quietly handed over the reins of the Genoa shop to longtime employee Julie Harbal, but is quick to reassure local fans she's not leaving and nothing they love about the shop will change.
"I think people won't really notice anything happened," Pugh said. "Julie will be doing [the business side]. It's her baby now. She's got all the financial investment. I will be here to make sure the business runs as smoothly as usual, to keep the continuity.
"Really most people don't know it's occurred and we won't be necessarily publicizing it. A couple people found out and they're asking about it. We called the press because we wanted to reassure people. They were worried I was going to go away."
The 58-year-old Pugh plans to continue to be a face at the shop.
"I am getting older. Teachers retire, CEOs retire and usually the business goes on if you do your job right," Pugh said. "I really have such a passion for doing pots still and with Julie taking over, that's the best of both worlds for me because I can still do the art and not have the headache and demand and rigors of running a business. It's going to still be the same, just not where I have to worry about all the little details of a business. It's kind of nice to step back from that and still carry on with making the pots; it's like getting to cook and eat dinner and not have to clean up."
Pugh has known Harbal for about 20 years. When Harbal was 14, she called Pugh's store every week to ask if she was hiring. Genoa is a small, close-knit community. Pugh knew Harbal's mother since high school, when Pugh was a freshman and Harbal's mother was a senior. Pugh's father said, "Give the girl a break" and Pugh finally gave her a job, they said.
Harbal worked at the shop throughout high school, during college summers and after college. She earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Bowling Green State University with a focus in 3-D objects and textiles.
Her specialty at the shop is decorating the clay pieces. She also has an MBA from BGSU and is responsible for the books, something she's already been doing for quite some time. In the early days, Pugh's mother did the job.
"The pottery here is so lovely to use and brings people a lot of cheer. It uplifts their spirit. … I look at this as an opportunity to grow the brand that's already here," Harbal said. "It truly is to continue the legacy of the business. The intention is not to make too many changes."
One change Harbal plans to make is to post inventory on the shop's website for online orders.
"You just couldn't turn it over to anyone and I feel comfortable that Julie will take the care that I had," Pugh said.
The White House
Pugh's reputation has reached around the world, including into the White House. In 1993, she received a letter requesting an angel for a Christmas tree in the Blue Room and stating that she should tell no one about the request.
Pugh recalls wondering how, before the blossoming of the Internet in 1995, did the White House find an artist out of Genoa, Ohio, who could make a clay angel? The angel had to be a certain height and weight and fit into a certain sized box. It is now stored in the National Archives.
Another year, a Junior League chapter contacted Pugh on behalf of former first lady Barbara Bush. Pugh ended up crafting an oval platter whose pattern was originally called Blue Cabbage Rose and which she renamed Barbara Bush Rose. The platter was used at a luncheon for heads of state, Pugh said.
Other celebrities who own pieces of pottery made by Pugh include Jerry Seinfeld, Julie Andrews, Queen Noor of Jordan, Cokie Roberts, Jamie Farr, Katie Holmes and more, according to the shop's website.
Recipe for success
Pugh credits her parents for her success. They owned a plumbing supply business in Genoa.
"My mom saw someone making pottery on TV. She said, 'Jan, you should come see this,'" Pugh said.
She tried guitar and ballet but fell in love with clay and art, which led her to take a night class at the Toledo Museum of Art. Her mother would drive her there from their home in Genoa and sit in the car working by the dome light while Pugh was in the classroom, Pugh said.
It was 1970. Pugh was 14 and they put her right on the potter's wheel. She loved it, she said.
She didn't want to go to college, but enrolled at the Rochester Institute of Technology where she earned her associate's degree in art. While there, she decided to make her art functional.
Pugh continued school at the Kansas City Art Institute where she earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts degree. At the time, the popular pottery of the '70s was earthy tones, not the bright colors she liked.
With no money after college, she moved in with her parents and worked out of a one-room shop next door to a pizza store where the janitor would help her by firing up her kiln.
She waited tables until pottery created enough demand that she could quit her day job and focus on it full-time. In 1980, she opened Packer Creek Pottery, named after a creek that winds its way through the town of Genoa.
Pottery process
Asked where she comes up with her distinctive patterns, Pugh said: "The part of my brain that doesn't cook." In other words, that creative, imaginative side.
Pugh, Harbal and a team of trusted artisans create dozens upon dozens of patterns in bright colors that are painted onto mugs, plates, platters, table-top tiles, clocks, lamps, mirrors, picture frames, ornaments, magnets and more.
Customers can shop the retail space or take a scheduled tour of the 5,000 square-foot workshop across the street. There, they can see the process each piece takes from moist clay to the fire-glazed final product.
Packer Creek holds exclusive rights to its formula for its clay and glazing, Pugh said, and the process will not change under Harbal.
"You just fall in love with it," Harbal said of the pottery, while watching employee Bethany Deluca at the pottery wheel. "It's a passion for me. I feel it's an honor to continue on the legacy."
Packer Creek Pottery, 103 E. 8th St., in Genoa, will hold an open house April 11-13. For more information, visit www.packercreekpottery.com.

Update - I put up the promised pics. Not wanting to distract from the other thread I just started this one.
I took closeups of most all of the important pieces with a brief description. I'm off this week for some R&R and I'm going to the range on a week day where hopefully I can tie this down and do the "string test" to test fire it. If it goes through a few mags' worth of ammo I'll test fire it from the shoulder.

It was concluded that the dysregulation of sFlt-1 and VEGF in preeclamptic pregnancy may contribute to the barrier dysfunction of glomerular endothelial cells, and VEGF may play an important role in maintaining the barrier function of glomerular endothelial cells, but it may not be the sole factor.
So this is another study suggesting that the damage to the kidneys ("glomerular endotheliosis") is caused by upregulation of sFlt-1 binding to VEGF and pulling it out of circulation. That's why the podocyte urine screening test is really measuring the same thing as the soluble factors tests in development.

Players putting statistics second
HUNTINGTON — Tommy Shuler set a record for catches in a game by a Marshall University football player last week with 19 against Purdue.
The mark was also the high number of catches in a game nationally for all FBS schools this season.
Yet, there were no congratulations from teammates -- only jokes on the flight back from the game.
That's because in his 19-catch game, none of the receptions went for touchdowns.
"I've been getting teased about it all week," Shuler said. "People say 'You get all these catches but don't get in the end zone.' It doesn't matter to me as long as I catch the ball and keep the drive going.
"I don't feel like I have to get in the end zone. If someone else gets in there, it makes it that much better as long as we get seven points. It all goes to one team."
That team-first attitude is part of the reason for Marshall's success on offense.
Shuler enters a Conference USA home game Saturday against Tulsa with 51 receptions for 534 yards and one touchdown.
Tulsa (4-1, 2-0) and Marshall (2-3, 1-0) meet at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, in Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The game will be televised by the CBS Sports Network, which is Ch. 174 on Huntington cable.
Marshall has a wealth of skilled athletes offensively.
Aaron Dobson is a top-of-the-line deep threat at receiver to go along with Shuler who is more the possession receiver while Antavious Wilson can fit both roles. In the backfield, Kevin Grooms and Steward Butler are gamebreaker-type running backs.
But that's just it -- there's only one football.
Even for a team that snaps the ball nearly 90 offensive plays a game, it would be easy for players to get selfish and take a "me-first" attitude.
The Thundering Herd has avoided that though because the goal is common -- to put points on the board and collect victories.
"I've liked this team from day one," Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. "This team is a very unselfish team that's concerned about one thing and that's winning games and doing whatever it takes."
Marshall is averaging 11 different players having a reception in each contest while cycling in three different running backs once Travon Van made the shift to the defensive side of the ball.
Five players are accounting for more than 50 yards per game. Shuler leads the way with 106.8 receiving yards, followed by Dobson with 71 receiving yards, Kevin Grooms with 67 all-purpose yards (60.2 rush, 6.3 receiving), Steward Butler with 57.2 all-purpose (53.6 rush, 3.6 receiving) and Antavious Wilson with 53.4 receiving yards.
Furthermore, 13 different players have found the end zone this season with seven having multiple touchdowns to their credit.
That's all in addtion to quarterback Rakeem Cato leading the offense to averages of 555.6 yards and 41.0 points per game.
It's a recipe for success that has added up to the sixth-ranked offense in the nation, and they have no plan to slow down.

text: MAC Light Year Mineralize Skinfinish ($29.00 for 0.24 oz.) is described as a "peachy pink with gold shimmer." It's a light-medium peach with hints of pink and a golden shimmer-sheen. There is light peach, light-medium yellow-toned pink, and bronze. On my skin, it looks more peach, but in the pan, it seems more peach-pink. I would expect those with pinker undertones to see more peach-pink coloring (I have warmer undertones). Tom Ford Lovelust is darker, more coral. Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess is very similar. Mine did have a peach haze over the bronze vein, which didn't go away with a quick swipe, so it seems like the peach color ended up slightly layered over the rest of the product. I don't think it really affects the color, since each pan is a swirl of various colors, some with larger veins than others.

In the latest indication Silicon Valley is in the midst of a new technology bubble, CouchSurfing.org, a non-profit website that connects global travelers with locals, has opted to accept $7.6 million in funding from Benchmark Capital and Omidyar Network. In conjunction with the funding, CouchSurfing will convert from its non-profit status to that of a B Corporation. (The B stands for "benefit.") Benefit Corporations are for-profit businesses that define themselves as socially responsible to investors and consumers.
"The non-profit structure is not ideal in enabling innovation to occur in terms of regulatory oversight and various auditing requirements," says Daniel Hoffer, CouchSurfing's co-founder turned President and CEO. "B Corporation status allows us to take investment money and be nimble and flexible while sticking with our social mission."
It will also allow the start-up to begin profiting off its three million large member base. Until now, CouchSurfing's only revenue stream was its paid identification verification service which charges members a tiny fee to prove they are who they say they are. Hoffer insists CouchSurfing will continue to make its service free to users and is currently exploring alternative revenue streams. The first order of business, Hoffer says, will be "aggressive hiring" especially at the technical level. Until now, CouchSurfing has bootstrapped its 30-employee organization with the help of thousands of passionate volunteers who set up CouchSurfing "meet-ups" around the globe.
The news is timed one month after another couch surfing website, Tripping.com, announced it had secured over a million in seed funding from Quest Venture Partners and a group of undisclosed angel investors. Tripping.com only claims "thousands" of members and one has to wonder whether CouchSurfing developed a sudden inferiority complex upon hearing news that its smaller, new, for-profit rival was suddenly flush with cash.
Regardless of the reasons for the investment, venture capitalists are thrilled the organization has accepted their money: "CouchSurfing is the leader in doing what it does," says Matt Cohler, who led the investment for Benchmark and will take a board seat in conjunction with the funding. "Nobody else in the world has such a strong vibrant community and such a deeply engaged active network of people."
CouchSurfing boasts a surprisingly large user base of three million people in 81,000 cities. Some 5.6 million connections have taken place on the site– whether that's people sharing a couch, a coffee, or simply local knowledge of the best bars, restaurants and sight-seeing spots with other diehard CouchSurfers. The organization recently learned that a Mongolian livestock farmer has hosted over 100 CouchSurfers in his yurt in the capital of Mongolia.
"I don't know even how he has internet access," says Hoffer. "But they've cooked dinner together. Westerners have learned what it's like to live in a yurt and tend livestock and the farmer has learned more about Westerners."

WILLIAMSON — A local country music vocalist recently signed with a Nashville-based artist development group in order to sculpt her into readiness for taking the musical world by storm.
Renea Jones, of Delbarton, spoke with the Daily News regarding her signing with PCG Nashville , an organization with a program which specializes on the a recording artist's needs.
The 29-year-old singer had already signed with Lyrick Talent Group Inc., headed by President John Carlin, earlier in the year. She said that Carlin had gone to Nashville to pitch her music to PCG Nashville , which liked what it heard and invited Renea down to audition and interview.
Renea's signing means that she is well on her way to being the next big thing in the music business. As she put it, the PCG Nashville will "prepare and get her ready for a future record deal."
PCG Nashville is ran by Bernard Porter, who worked in signing Jason Aldean and served as a regional judge for Nashville Star as a few of his credentials. Renea mentioned that Teddy Gentry, bassist for legendary county group Alabama, also works with talent at the company.
"I'll be working in and out of Nashville each month with producers, songwriters, media relation specialists, voice coaches and so on," Renea said. "I'll also be performing in and out of Nashville."
Although, she said that the program also goes by another name:
"Musician bootcamp," she said, laughing. "I'll be working one-on-one with other musicians signed there and I'll be receiving guitar lessons from a guy who's in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame."
Through her work, she'll attempt to earn the right to get pitched to a record company.
She traveled to Nashville for business, but still managed to sightsee a bit of the city that she'll around for her year-long deal. Renea mentioned that she stopped by 16th and 17th Avenues, where record company buildings call home, the Grand Ole Opry, where she dreams of performing at, honky-tonk bars where she probably will perform at and the Governor's Club, where country music stars like Carrie Underwood and Porter himself call home. Her signing actually took place in his living room, Renea said.
Renea made the trip there with Carlin and her boyfriend, Roger Prater. Roger, Renea said, has been very supportive of her music and has encouraged her to pursue her dreams in Nashville.
"He's very happy that I'm able to go," Renea said. The two have been together off and on, she said, for around 10 years.
A nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at Pikeville Medical Center, Renea said that she is prepared for the task at hand in becoming a better musician.
"It's going to be a challenge, but I'm used to the fast-paced, high-stress and exciting life," Renea said.
She also said that her job has made her more aware of her own mortality, and that time didn't last forever.
"You've got to buckle down and do it, or your dreams are going to pass you by."
And she's on her way. Renea said that she was told that this was the first time a West Virginia had been signed by PCG Nashville, who works with artists from across the globe.
But just because she's headed to Nashville to better herself as a musician, she's not leaving home behind. She'll still be performing locally. In fact, her next performance is set for Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Mountain Arts Center. Renea, along with all the other talent from Lyrick Talent Group, Inc., will perform that night. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
She'll be traveling to Nashville after the performance, sometime during the second week of January.
When she was last interviewed by the Daily News, she said that that she saw herself, within one year, as "a more powerful singer with more stage presence," and within five years that she would "love to have my own album out with original songs on it. I'd love to have my own video and perform at the Grand Ole Opry."
While her signing hasn't quite hit her yet, Renea said her dreams seem a lot closer to reality now.
"I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Renea said. "I've got to make the most of it. It's life-changing. So I'm staying grounded and working hard. I'm not going to Nashville to goof off."

Your ability to buy the best house for your money can be a matter of choosing the right lender for your home mortgage loan. Before you begin house hunting, it's a good idea to meet with several lenders to discuss your financial situation and what types of loans they can offer you. If you are an eligible veteran or active duty service member, be sure to make an appointment with a VA lender to find out what the VA Home Loan Program can do for you.
VA lenders are private banks, credit unions, savings & loans and mortgage companies that participate in the VA Home Loan Program. Veterans Affairs guaranteed loans are made to eligible members and veterans for the purchase of a home for their own occupancy. The VA's guaranty protects the lender against loss if you fail to repay the loan. The guaranty replaces the protection the lender normally receives by requiring a down payment, allowing you to obtain favorable financing terms. It's possible to qualify for a VA loan even if you haven't been able to qualify for other loans.The VA Loan Guaranty Service has helped thousands of active duty service members and veterans become homeowners and keep their homes. The VA Home Loan Program is a substantial benefit that you have earned with your military service. For detailed information and to find out if you are eligible, call the VA Regional Loan Center for your area. You can find contact information for all VA Regional Loan Centers on the VA website.
Each loan is unique, but most VA home loans offer the following:
Once you've selected a home and discussed the purchase with the seller or seller's agent, you'll sign a purchase contract conditioned on approval of your VA home loan. Your lender will ask you to fill out a loan application, and you'll be required to present a Certificate of Eligibility along with the completed loan application.In many cases, lenders can use the VA's online application, webLGY, to obtain a COE. Often the lender can obtain the COE in a matter of seconds. If not, the webLGY application allows them to submit an electronic application. Another alternative is to apply for a COE directly through the Veterans Registration Portal.
You can also refinance your VA loan with an Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan. These loans are sometimes called "streamline" or "VA to VA" loans. When you refinance, you obtain a new mortgage at a lower interest rate using the money borrowed in the new loan to pay off the outstanding balance on the old loan. The new mortgage may be from the same mortgage lender or from a different lender. As with any mortgage loan, it's wise to contact several lenders before choosing one.Remember, just because the interest rate might be lower doesn't mean it's always wise to refinance. You need to balance the cost of refinancing against the interest savings of the new loan.Here are some things to know about refinancing with an IRRRL:
Veterans can also refinance to pay off existing mortgages or other liens of record and take cash out. These loans are generally limited to 90 percent of the appraised value of the property. For more information on this and other aspects of the program, visit the VA website.
The VA works to keep veterans in their homes through a variety of programs, including emergency foreclosure assistance. The VA can also provide temporary assistance to cover utilities, child care, moving and other expenses to prevent homelessness. If you or a veteran you know are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, make the call to 877-4AID-VET, or chat online to be connected to the homelessness prevention resources the VA offers. Learn about all the programs that can help you or a veteran you know overcome or prevent homelessness on the VA website.

Thanks Guys
Tall, Wide and Handsome!!
check your messages woodtick
woodtick I am looking at that unit also. I got some maps look like some good wilderness land that a guy if he is willing to hike and can get in the backcountry. Let me know if you get any good info and I will do same
Sounds good!

"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence."
I have hunted unit 66 for 20 years. It can get pretty crowded at times and road hunters/ATVs are obnoxious. If you get off the trails and roads and are willing to work at it you will find plenty of animals. The country can be either very rugged or relatively mild, depending on where the animals are. The trophy potential is marginal but I have seen some big animals taken and on the hoof too. As for areas, it all depends on what season you plan to hunt. The second and third rifle sees a lot of animals in transition zones, so they are hard to predict. It all depends on the weather, moisture and feed that year. It is a good area but it is not the best, it takes work and patience but what unit doesn't. If you are looking for more of a sure thing or more animals I would pick a different unit. The deer herd was hit HARD several winters ago....still some nice ones around but fewer for sure.
All I have to say is that it is one of the most rugged and steep areas you could hunt... Be careful what you wish for Spent a few days in there and it is beautiful but be prepared for some serious vertical time to get into animals and like Gunni said... Trophy quality is marginal, that's why it's fairly easy to draw, so keep your expectations low.

Due to an ability to adapt in "poor soil" and easy maintenance – not to mention beautiful summer blooms – Crape Myrtles is a perennially popular landscape tree.
This season locals have noticed their Crape Myrtles have had a spectacular bloom.
Mark Arena, Area Extension Agent at Clemson Cooperative Extension, has his own thoughts on why the trees are putting on a better than usual show.
"Probably because of all the rain," Arena said.
Doyle Best, Summerville's Parks and Recreation Director, agrees with Arena's assessment that everything looks better this year.
"Although the rain has caused some flooding, everything is more lush and green and all the rain plays a big part in why the crape myrtle look so good this year."
Best says his favorite is the white blooming crape myrtle.
"Those are called the Natchez crape myrtle. It's easy to identify them even when they are not in bloom by the cinnamon colored bark.
Another of his favorites is the lavender crape myrtle.
"The lavender Muskogee crape myrtle can also be identified by its light-colored bark," Best said.
Some good examples of those are near the railroad tracks at Doty Avenue.
The hot pink crape myrtles are not just one variety but many, according to Best.
"There are so many different varieties of the pink it's hard to identify them."
Also more interesting this year is the Spanish moss draping from many of the crape myrtle trees that line many of the streets in Summerville. The moss appears more visible because of the brilliance of the blooms acting as counterpoint to the "greybeard."
Some people worry about the Spanish Moss damaging the plant in some form.
"There is no scientific evidence that Spanish moss is harmful to the plant," says Arena.
Another feature that the crape myrtle is known for is the smooth and sometimes colorful bark. Most of them are known to have brown or tan colors. According to Paul Moore of Southern Gardens, the best time to take initiative on planting would be during the fall, so the roots can develop well before spring.
Also, if you currently own crape myrtles, Moore recommends fertilizing in the spring.
"Try not to prune them too hard," he said.
When it comes to pruning, Best agrees that less is more.
"Some very selective pruning is good. Some people chop them off at head height each year and that is not the way to prune. The limbs you take are the interior ones that cross each other. Those can be pruned out. You want it to keep its natural tree shape," he said.
If you are interested in purchasing Crape Myrtles, you may do so at a local nursery or garden.

mild and soothing
I really like most of the Ilike products I've tried; so far, the Rose Petal Cleansing Milk is my favorite. I have very sensitive and dry skin and this cleanser never irritates, as some cleansers do. The Rose Petal Cleansing Milk makes my skin feel softer and soothes dry patches. It also smells wonderful. I highly recommend it.

About LEAP
Liberal Education and America's Promise (LEAP) is a national advocacy, campus action, and research initiative that champions the importance of a twenty-first century liberal education—for individuals and for a nation dependent on economic creativity and democratic vitality.
LEAP responds to the changing demands of the twenty-first century—demands for more college-educated workers and more engaged and informed citizens. Today, and in the years to come, college graduates need higher levels of learning and knowledge as well as strong intellectual and practical skills to navigate this more demanding environment successfully and responsibly.
Launched in 2005, LEAP challenges the traditional practice of providing liberal education to some students and narrow training to others. In 2015, the LEAP Challenge calls on colleges and universities to engage students in Signature Work that will prepare them integrate and apply their learning to a significant project.
LEAP embraces a 21st-Century Definition of Liberal Education and promotes:
- Essential Learning Outcomes—as a guiding vision and national benchmarks for college learning and liberal education in the 21st century
- Principles of Excellence—offering both challenging standards and flexible guidance for an era of educational reform and renewal.
- High-Impact Educational Practices—that help students achieve essential learning outcomes
- Authentic Assessments—probing whether students can apply their learning to complex problems and real-world challenges
- Inclusive Excellence—to ensure that every student gets the benefits of an engaged and practical liberal education.
LEAP leaders also work to engage the public with core questions about what really matters in college and to connect employers and educators as they build new partnerships and make the case for the importance of liberal education in a global economy and in our diverse democracy.
For more information about the LEAP initiative, please see our "Introduction to LEAP" brochure.
LEAP is supported in part by the Leadership Fund for Liberal Education. Click here to learn more about the Leadership Fund and to make a gift to LEAP.

WILLIAMSON — All eyes were on two defendants in Mingo County Circuit Court Monday morning that followed an indictment that has shocked the residents of the Tug Valley area due to the alleged victim being a young man who had captured the hearts of Mingo County prior to his death in 2012.
Brandi J. and Scott J. Baisden, of Merrimac, were each indicted by the April Grand Jury on a single count of child neglect resulting in death, after an investigation was opened in the death of their handicapped son, Zachary, who suffered from muscular dystrophy. The youngster, who attended Riverside Elementary, passed away on May 11 of last year at the Williamson Memorial Hospital following what had been deemed as complications of pneumonia. Information from an unnamed source led Mingo County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Joe Smith to delve deeper into the case, including a request for toxicology reports from the autopsy of the deceased. After receiving the results, the information was provided to the Prosecutor's office and was then presented to the grand jury, who returned a true bill (felony indictment) against the couple.
The autopsy results are said to have concluded that Zachary death was caused by pneumonia/complicated respiratory insufficiency. It also speaks about the presence of Alprazolam (Zanax) and over the counter Chlorpheniramine, which is an antihistamine (inappropriate administration of an over the counter cold medication).
Both defendants entered pleas of not guilty during their arraignment hearings before Mingo County Circuit Judge Michael Thornsbury, who set their bonds at $50,000 each. Attorney Josh Ferrell represented the Baisdens' during the arraignment process and will continue to serve as legal counsel for Brandi, and Attorney Jeff Simpkins will represent Scott in the future. The couple will be required to remain on home confinement with Scott also ordered to participate in the Judge's Work Program. They are further ordered to have no contact with anyone under the age of 18, although they are allowed to have limited and supervised visitation with their juvenile daughter who is currently placed in the care of a grandparent.
A family member of Scott's, who requested his name not be disclosed, remarked that when Zachary was born, his life expectancy was 1-3 years, and said that the youngster living beyond that estimate should send a clear statement that he had parents who provided and cared for his needs and did what was best for him. He further commented that he firmly believes that Scott and Brandi would never have done anything intentional to harm their son, and were unaware that he had pneumonia.
Williamson Fire Department (WFD) Lt. Stephen Casey, who serves as President of the Firefighter's Union Local 968, spoke with the Daily News about the close relationship the WFD had established with Zachary through the years, enjoying each and every moment they spent together raising funding for the American Muscular Dystrophy Association.
"He was a great kid," said Casey. "Full of laughter and smiles, he never let his medical condition and physical handicap take away his joy. He sat in his wheelchair for the past 4 years with us on Boot Day, as we strived to raise money to help find a cure for the disease that prevented him from standing or walking. We all loved him, there's no other way to word it. The news that extenuating circumstances may have attributed to his death and angered me…it's left me unable to wrap my mind around the evidence that's been presented."
"As a father of a son with another little boy on the way, I can't begin to rationalize this. If the allegations are true, then I firmly believe the parents should be punished to the fullest extent the law allows. If they're not guilty of these charges, then I hope evidence to prove otherwise surfaces. But – if what I'm hearing about the autopsy results is true, then I don't believe there's much room for doubt. Time will tell."
A trial date for the Baisdens' has been set for June 11th, although that date may change as the adte draws near. Attorney Josh Ferrell stated during the arraignment hearings that this case would require a good amount of time to prepare for trial, due to the extent of the discovery material.
Bond conditions were met for both husband and wife following the hearing, and they were released from custody after being placed on home confinement. Additional information will be published as it becomes available.

The family is best known for their My Econo $39.95 Optical chain of businesses.
Michael Yuchnitz, a prominent local businessman and TV pitchman who was awaiting trial for allegedly trying to hire a hit man to kill his wife, died Saturday of heart problems related to his lung cancer, the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office said.
The official cause of Yuchnitz's death was cardiomyopathy, with lung cancer listed as a contributing factor. The medical examiner on Sunday ruled it a natural death.
Yuchnitz, 60, was found dead Saturday morning in the parking lot of the InTown Suites in the 6400 block of Bandera Road after he apparently collapsed in a slightly hidden area between a car and landscaping, said Leon Valley Police Chief Randall Wallace. A maintenance man discovered Yuchnitz's body as he did his usual rounds at the extended stay hotel, Wallace said.
Yuchnitz was unresponsive and pronounced dead at 9:07 a.m. He had been undergoing treatment for lung cancer, his attorney David Christian said.
Yuchnitz was known as a colorful TV presence in commercials for his My Econo's $39.95 Optical stores but gained notoriety when arrested in October 2010 for solicitation of capital murder.
An arrest affidavit in the case quoted an informant as telling police the eyewear salesman agreed to pay $10,000 to have his then-wife, Tina Yuchnitz, killed.
A criminal trial had been scheduled for March 2014, according to court records. Yuchnitz was out on bail pending trial.
Tina Yuchnitz filed for divorce and a protective order the day police told her about the alleged plot to have her killed.
The couple's high-profile divorce proceedings began in February 2012 and included accusations from both sides of abuse and bad behavior. Capping two weeks of testimony, a jury decided that each had inflicted severe emotional distress on the other and recommended a judge split their assets 50-50.
