First Exclusive 'Spawn' Resin Statue Ready to Purchase for Collector's Club Members
Plus, Update on Pre-ordering Third Spawn Resin Statue
Friday, February 13, 2009
If you are a Collector's Club member on the pre-order list for the Spawn Issue 138 Resin statue, you should have received an email notification that it is now time to place your order. There will be a 3-week window for you to claim your reserved items. After this time period, we will allow users on our waiting list the opportunity to purchase this item.
Inspired by Spawn Issue 138's digitally painted wraparound cover, and unveiled at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, this statue quickly sold out online and is destined to be a collector's classic.
Limited to a production run of only 1,000 pieces, this exclusive boxed statue is the inaugural piece in the McFarlane Signature Collection. Nearly 8 inches in height including the base and individually numbered and hand-signed by Todd McFarlane, the statue retails for $69.00 (plus shipping).
The Collector's Club's third resin figure, 'Curse of the Spawn,' originally scheduled for pre-order release on Monday, Feb. 16, has been delayed; the new release date will be announced within the next few weeks.
Inspired by Danny Miki's unforgettable, original pinup in Curse of the Spawn, Issue 1, the artwork also graced the cover of The Best of Curse of the Spawn trade paperback.
JOIN THE McFARLANE TOYS COLLECTOR'S CLUB
You must be a member of our Collector's Club (membership is FREE) to pre-order this item. If you're not already a member, log onto store.spawn.com now to join. This exclusive will be limited to two figures per order.

The way dizziness makes you feel — such as the sensation of vertigo, a feeling of faintness or feeling as if you've lost your balance — provide clues for possible causes. Specific triggers, such as certain activities or positions, may give clues as to the underlying cause of your dizziness. The duration of any dizziness episodes and any additional symptoms you feel can also help pinpoint the exact cause.
Vertigo usually results from a sudden or temporary change in the activity of the balance structures in your inner ear (vestibular system) or in the balance structures' connections into the brain. These connections sense movement and changes in your head position. Sitting up or moving around may make it worse. Sometimes vertigo is severe enough to cause nausea, vomiting and balance problems. But, the good news about vertigo is that it generally won't last long. Within a couple of weeks, the body usually adapts to whatever is causing your dizziness.
Causes of vertigo may include:
Dizziness may make you feel faint and lightheaded without losing consciousness. Sometimes nausea, pale skin and clamminess accompany a feeling of faintness. Causes of this type of dizziness include:
Disequilibrium is the loss of balance or the feeling of unsteadiness when you walk. Causes may include:
Other "dizzy" sensations that are more difficult to describe may include feeling "spaced out" or having the sensation of spinning inside your head. Your doctor may refer to this as nonspecific dizziness. Some causes include:

Memory is an unreliable narrator. It seems so absolutely sure of itself when it's telling you things that it's easy to forget it can't wholly be trusted.

At Graveyard Shift Sisters, Ashlee Blackwell considers love in Ganja & Hess. " It is up to the viewer to map a path that suits their understanding. What writer/director Bill Gunn (who plays Dr. Hess' assistant) wanted was a disruption of mainstream fare. Gunn didn't seem too interested in what Hollywood desired, and like many writers, wrote a screenplay that felt personal and needed to be written. It tackles so many themes, it's almost difficult to begin. While most rely on it being vampiric and about addiction, it's important to note the journey that Hess and Ganja embark on together. Their romantic entanglement may by one of the most fascinating aspects of the film that is commonly overlooked because it is challenging to simplify."

Ear pain while flying
I have been having some bad ear pain(prolly cause I am having an audio war with the next door neighbors) and I have to be on a flight in a week. I heard when you are up there with ear pain it gets really bad due to pressure. Is it really that bad? and if it is, what can I do to help it?
Last edited by Big Dozer; 6/12/2009 6:35pm at .

You can avoid it by 1) using a decongestant, which will help open the ear passage so air pressure can equalize on the inside and 2) equalize the pressure as many times as necessary while the plane is descending. Chewing gum and swallowing anything -- water, spit, etc. will relieve the pressure for most people. If that doesn't work, the best way to do it is to hold your nose closed with your fingers and try to blow air out your nose -- this will cause the air to push into your ear canals, equalizing the pressure and relieving the pain. The key here is to do it as soon as you feel pressure -- if you wait until it hurts the sides of your ear canals will be collapsing, and it will become very hard to get air to the inside of the ear drum. This is the technique used by scuba divers.

For me, I find yawning really big will do it, i.e. even if you're faking the yawn, the action of the extreme jaw movement will work your ear canal and "pop the bubble" so to speak of the pressure build up. The decongestant is a good move too if it's (the ear pain) due to illness.

Cain vs Overeem (If Overeem wins). If not, then I do not know. Unless he beats Overeem in a dominant fashion, I see no point in a Cain vs BigFoot II
JDS vs Werdum maybe (If he loses to Big Nog). May be Overeem if he loses to BigFoot. JDS vs Bigfoot would not happened because they are friends.
JDS vs Cormier looks so far as the most logical option.
Erik Perez vs Wineland
Tod Duffee vs Roy Nelson
Now, Lombard vs Leben is absolutely no sense. And I do not think it would be a great fight. After Leben's performance, he is lucky to be an alcoholic with problems, because Dana White has compassion for him and won't cut him.
Make Leben vs Palhares
Miller vs Maynard
I would like to see Lauzon vs Nurmagomedov if he beats Tavares.
Belcher vs Boetsch
Okami vs Lombard
Philippou vs Mark Munoz

Anairo Media is now known as Adkisson Digital and can be found at http://adkissondigital.com
This site is being used only for archive purposes now.
Show List
In 2011, I recorded my first podcast and it was horrible. I had no clue what I was doing, but I knew that I wanted to get a message across to people. After a couple of attempts, I decided that wasn't the direction I wanted to go. In the summer of 2011, I launched the southern tech news site, SouthGeek along with a weekly podcast tied to the site. The podcast was called The SouthGeek Ramble and Review. After 62 episodes and a lot of fun, I decided it was time to shut that show down as well. I really enjoyed doing the show, but that particular niche isn't such a niche anymore as there are thousands of tech news podcasts.
Ultimately, the goal of Anairo Media is to produce informative, enjoyable and just plain fun content, no matter what the subject is. Some shows are better than others, but then again, that's true of television as well.
Listen now! — [The Devils' Lair] Randy Meadows, Todd Gann and Mike Tucker bring their passion for all things sports, specifically Tift County athletics. They all love Tifton and wanted to bring to the attention of everyone the hard work and dedication of Tifton's youth in athletics such as baseball, football, air rifle, basketball, wrestling, swimming, golf and any sport that builds character and provides a foundation to springboard the youth into a better tomorrow. Be sure to check out the show as it is recorded live every two weeks, Wednesdays at 7pm! Go big blue and fear the pitchfork!
Listen now! — [Ben on Beer] Ben Rehberg and Donovan Adkisson love beer and they love to talk about. Ben is an experienced home brewer and Donovan is along for the ride to learn, and make fun of Ben. This bi-weekly show is dedicated to the discussion of home brewing, craft beers, beer news and taste testing a variety of beers. They don't hold back – if a beer tastes like crap, they'll let you know! Be sure to check out the show as it is recorded live every two weeks, Mondays at 6:30pm! NOTE: This show is on indefinite hiatus
Listen now! — [The Don and Randy Show] From the mind of Don Adkisson, the Don Adkisson Show is a personal perspective of the world, his likes, dislikes, philosophies and sometimes just plain bitching about what is happening in the world. He doesn't profess to have the answers to the world's problems, but sometimes bullshit is simply bullshit and he calls it as he sees it. Note — formerly called Thoughts from the "D". NOTE: This show is on hiatus
Listen now! — [Yarns and Tales] Yarns and Tales is a knitting journey with revLea.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) and Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia) led the Chattanooga Mocs (1-0) to an 88-53 win over Tennessee Temple (2-2) Monday night in McKenzie Arena. Mason had a game-high 16 points, while Zlovaric added 11 points and eight rebounds.
Freshman Farad Cobb (West Palm Beach, Fla.) stole the show, literally. His six steals on the night set a new UTC freshman record breaking the four previously held by seven other Mocs student-athletes. That list includes teammate Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) and assistant coach Casey Long (2004-07).
The Crusaders were led by Mack Hampton's 12 points and five rebounds. Weedlens Beauvil added 11 points, while Joe Quinn and John Reik each chipped in five boards as well.
Chattanooga scored the first nine points of the game before a Mack Hampton free throw got the Crusaders on the board. With the score at 14-5, the Mocs went on a 9-2 run with Mason and Zlovaric capping it with back-to-back scores to push the lead to 23-7.
Consecutive Crusader three-pointers by Travaris Clarke and Weedlens Beauvil cut the lead to 10, 23-13, but that's as close as it would get. UTC methodically built its lead to 19 heading into intermission on a nice fade-away jumper in the paint by Mason as the final seconds ticked away in the half.
Zlovaric and Mason opened the second half with baskets to get the lead to 23. It went to 30, 68-38, on Lance Stokes' (Orlando, Fla.) layup with 8:33 to play. The largest lead was 39, 84-45, with Martynas Bareika's (Kedainiai, Lithuania) lay-in at 2:08.
Cobb's six steals paced Chattanooga to 23 on the night, a new school record. Cobb and his teammates forced 35 TTU turnovers scoring 44 points off the miscues.
It was a balanced effort on the tally books for the Mocs. Nine players scored six or more points. There were 42 points scored in the paint as the UTC post players accounted for 48 points and 25 rebounds.
Chattanooga dominated the glass, 49-28, against an unusually tall group from an NCCAA opponent including two seven-footers. UTC's 25 offensive rebounds were just three less than TTU's total on the boards.
The Mocs travel to No. 7 Kansas Thursday for an 8 p.m., tilt with the Jayhawks. The contest is on the Jayhawk Network and can be accessed via ESPN3.com.

BOSTON (AP) - Ben Affleck is taking his name off the list of possible candidates for U.S. Sen. John Kerry's seat, which would be open if the Democratic senator from Massachusetts is confirmed as secretary of state.
Affleck says in a Monday posting on his Facebook page that while he loves the political process, he will not be running for public office.
Speculation about the Cambridge, Mass., native rose slightly when he did not completely rule out a Senate bid during an appearance on CBS' Face The Nation on Sunday.
In his Facebook posting, Affleck says he would continue working with the Eastern Congo Initiative, a nonprofit organization that helps direct humanitarian aid to the war-torn region, and for other causes.
Affleck says Kerry would make a great secretary of state.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – In the first 2010-2011 national statistical rankings released by the NCAA, Julie Bossard's defensive effort and long arms have earned her a spot in two separate categories.
The 6-0 junior from Arkport, NY (Canisteo-Greenwood) deflected 27 shots in the eight games up to the December 13th poll date. She earned the #14 slot in the country with 3.4 blocks per game. Additionally, she holds the 5th place ranking for blocks in a single game. This feat was accomplished on December 4th against La Roche College, when Bossard blocked 8 shots in the single game.
Currently Bossard is averaging 10.8 ppg, and is the team-leading rebounder (8.8 rpg). She has started all 8 games and leads the team with 41.4% FG and minutes played (32.5) in their 1-7 start.

Awhile back I asked, what if the average human life span were a thousand years instead of less than a hundred? Would our environmental attitudes be any different? Or what if carnivorous dinosaurs roamed our neighborhoods? Or what if insects reached body sizes of 300 pounds rather than only a few ounces?
Despite the many real and captivating ecological questions that can be asked and answered, an occasional foray into the realm of "what if" is also healthy. Such questions can provide us with different perspectives of the way the world could be.
The questions about dinosaurs and giant insects are easy to answer. A species of land-dwelling, meat-eating dinosaur, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, that would eat a human or a cow as a snack, would soon be on the verge of extinction. Few animals that kill and eat humans still exist on earth, and most of them, such as certain sharks, saltwater crocodiles and tigers are imperiled, with little assurance of long-term survival. The life expectancy of an enormous, flesh-eating dinosaur with no fear of humans would be short indeed in regions where modern weapons are used. The only survivors would be a few confined to island populations where they could be viewed as oddities. In short, if dinosaurs remained on earth today, they would be relatively rare endangered species.
The same would be true for insects reaching an eighth of a ton. Can you imagine how well-received a 250-pound roach would be as it came into your kitchen through the back door it had just ripped off the hinges? Can't blame that one on crawling into your grocery bag before you got home. How long would we tolerate animals that could consume everything in the pantry within 10 minutes? How popular would 200-pound dragonflies be after they had carried off all cats and small dogs in the neighborhood? Understandably, gigantic insects would quickly fall out of favor. Typical human nature would prevail in situations in which fauna in the form of dinosaurs and big insects inhabited the earth. Many people feel that any species that competes with us should be eliminated.
The prospect of living a thousand years, more than 10 times the normal human life expectancy, would also bring on a different perspective. Think about how many environmental decisions are made with only short-term consequences in mind, decisions predicated on the realization that we might live to be 90 if we are lucky. If we had expectations of living for a thousand years, I feel certain we would we be more conscientious in our environmental decision making.
For example, most people have a fondness for clean streams and rivers, magnificent forests, and abundant wildlife. But because of our short-term perspective we have steadily destroyed our wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife. If you knew you would still be here 900 years from now, would you accept the current rate of destruction of our natural habitats? Almost certainly not. You would know that long before you reached middle age, around your 500th birthday, you would have nothing left of the wild. The citizens of the United States would surely insist on policies that set stringent limits on environmental degradation.
If it's hard to imagine what our thought processes would be with a thousand-year outlook, turn the formula around. Speed up the current loss of biodiversity and forests; increase the rate of air and water pollution. Imagine environmental change happening 10 times faster than it does now. If we continue to degrade natural habitats, remove forests, and eliminate species without regard for long-term consequences, such a scenario is plausible – and it doesn't take a lot of imagination to envision.
If we expected to live a thousand years, we would not tolerate the current rate of environmental loss. We can't increase our life expectancy tenfold, but we can protect the environment. It's time to ensure that the world has clean air and water, and healthy wildlife and habitats during our lifetimes – and beyond. Let's imagine what if.

According to Laura Bollettino, executive director at the School of Rock of Silver Spring, the philosophy behind the unconventional music school is "if you tell [children] they can do something, then they think they can and they do it."
"You tell them, get on-stage at The Fillmore and they say, 'Yeah, why wouldn't I get on stage at The Fillmore?'" Bollettino said. "Any adult would be paralyzed with fear."
Students from the School of Rock in Silver Spring will prove Bollettino right on Sunday when they take the stage at the venue. The afternoon concert will showcase musicians from the school's School of Rock 101 program, Performance Program, Adult Program, Silver Spring School of Rock House Band and special guest performers, Philadelphia-based Swift Technique. There will be a second show at Comet Ping Pong in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 26.
School of Rock was founded in 1998 by Paul Green. There are currently more than 15,000 students enrolled in 125 schools across seven countries. Bollettino and her husband Jeff opened two School of Rock locations in Virginia: one in Vienna in July 2006 and one in Ashburn in July 2007. The two took over the Silver Spring location in September 2007.
"My husband and I were both involved in corporate America and as our kids were getting older, we realized we were missing out on a lot," Bollettino said. "This was a unique concept … we really saw it made [students] really good, really fast."
School of Rock is a performance-based music school with an emphasis on fun.
"We always joke around and say, 'Don't tell the kids we're a serious music school," Bollettino said.
But School of Rock means business.
Students are first enrolled in School of Rock 101, teaching basic skills through 45-minute private lessons and 90-minute group sessions. Students then move on to the Performance Program, which consists of 45-minute private lessons and a final show. The students rehearse for three hours, once a week in preparation for the end-of-season show at the end of the 12-13 week session.
Teachers at the school come from a range of backgrounds.
"We use a combination of teachers," Bollettino said. " … [some] are gigging musicians, some have degrees, some have just a lot of experience."
But the headmaster is studio manager Forrest Hainline IV.
"I like to think of myself as the principal of School of Rock," Hainline said. "I promote a culture that is fun and safe and comfortable and inspiring for students."
A Montgomery County native and a graduate of the Landon School in Bethesda, Hainline has been with School of Rock of Silver Spring for one and a half years.
"I really never thought of teaching," said Hainline, who graduated from Augustana College in Illinois. "Even two years into it I never thought I was qualified, but people kept asking me to come back."
On top of teaching private lessons, Hainline also leads students in the Performance Program and has prepared all of the students performing in Saturday's concert.
"We give them song assignments …" Hainline said. "Students come in once a week for three hours and start chipping away."
According to Hainline, Saturday's concert, which is divided into two parts, "What's His Name Is?!" and "Who's That Grrrl?!" is a celebration of songs about guys and girls. The lineup includes Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia," "Hey Jude," by the Beatles and "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" by the Ramones.
Though School of Rock's emphasis is obviously on the music, both Bollettino and Hainline said the program helps its students develop skills applicable to other areas of their lives as well.
"Part of being an artist and being a gigging musician is you have to do promotion," Bollettino said. "Selling tickets, making posters."
School of Rock students have vowed to sell 400 tickets on their own for Saturday's performance.
Bollettino added that School of Rock also builds self-assurance in its students.
"One of the things I've seen over and over again, by getting on stage and pushing through your fears, you gain confidence," Bollettino said. "The feeling of accomplishment and 'I did it' and 'I learned this hard piece of music,' that can translate to any obstacle they'll face in the future."

The Dark Lord's Eye Is Now Upon Us
Two Unlimited The Lord of the Rings Art Sleeves Designs Are Now Available
"His Eye is now straining towards us, blind almost to all else that is moving. So we must keep it. Therein lies all our hope." –Gandalf, The Return of the King
Two new unlimited The Lord of the Rings Art Sleeve designs are now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore!
Both The One Ring and Eye of Sauron unlimited edition Art Sleeves feature eye-catching artwork and design elements drawn from The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game that make them attractive options for sleeving your cards from that and other games.
One Ring to Bind Them
The Lord of the Rings Art Sleeves are as functional as they are stylish. Coming in packs of fifty, these sleeves are made of 100 micron-thick, non-PVC, acid-free polypropylene plastic, meaning they are both durable and free of damaging chemicals that could corrode your cards. They fit snugly around your LCG, CCG, or other standard-sized cards (card size: 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), and they facilitate easy shuffling and handling.
The two designs may appeal to all Tolkien enthusiasts, but they're particularly well-suited to protect your cards from The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.
- The One Ring sleeves evoke the magic and mystery of the One Ring, while suggesting your fellowship's efforts against the Shadow with the border's elegant Elven scrollwork.
- Eye of Sauron sleeves bring terror to those who would fall beneath the Dark Lord's gaze. Their flaming eye and sharp border remind players of the power of Mordor.

Unlimited Edition
These new The One Ring and Eye of Sauron designs are the first to be released as unlimited edition Art Sleeves. Spurred by the tremendous demand for the limited edition The Lord of the Rings Art Sleeves that featured similar designs (though without the borders), Fantasy Flight Games has decided to add these two designs to our Fantasy Flight Supply catalog on a more permanent basis.
The One Ring and Eye of Sauron sleeves speak to the essence of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, and we will reprint these two designs as necessary to meet demand. Accordingly, players can look forward to using these beautiful and resilient sleeves for many games to come. They'll offer the same stylish protection for all your future cards as they will for the ones you choose to sleeve today.
Protect your cards today! Look for The One Ring and Eye of Sauron The Lord of the Rings Art Sleeves at a retailer near you, or order yours online from our webstore.

I have created a model of the SS Valiant based upon the Greg Jein study model featured in the ST Chronology book. This is my first complex 3D starship model, but I was more than happy with the result, especially as there are no Valiants out there as far I know. The ship was referenced in the TOS episode Where No Man Has Gone Before as having been swept through the Galactic Barrier out of the galaxy 200 years prior.
The design is roughly over 100m long and I envisage the small front section to be the detachable lander (remember no transporters till mid-22nd century). The impulse engines are so huge due to the excessive amount of energy required to travel at up to 0.5c while traveling within a star system, warp drive not being an option there. The forward hull contains the airlock, guest area and command crew quarters, communication centre, navigational deflector, while the far larger main hull houses the fusion reactor (not antimatter yet), engineering, additional crew quarters, limited recreational facilities, science lab, escape pods on the underside and consumables storage in the forward area of the main hull.
I've downloaded so many models from STMC in the past, I thought it right to give something back
Here are some images:

A Georgia woman detained on multiple charges, including drug charges, acted erratically and even tried to eat materials used to smoke crack cocaine when she was pulled over by officers, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Yvonne Rene Mitchell, 50, of Old Sunbury Road in Hinesville, Ga., was charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, disregarding a stop sign, failure to comply and open container. She was placed in the Aiken County detention center, where she remained on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident happened about 9 p.m. Saturday on Edgefield Avenue in Aiken, according to a report. An officer saw Mitchell disregard a stop sign at Greenville Street and Edgefield Avenue and pulled the vehicle over.
Mitchell immediately jumped out of the car after the officer pulled her over and "was so excited she was hardly able to control herself," according to the report. After she returned to her vehicle and gave the officer her license and insurance card, she continued to watch the officer from the driver's side window.
When asked why she was so excited, Mitchell responded that she "just doesn't like police," according to the report.
An open beer was visible on the passenger's seat, and officers asked Mitchell to exit the car while they searched it, according to the report. When asked about drugs, Mitchell grabbed her jacket and refused to follow officers' commands to put her hands on the trunk.
Mitchell began moving "all over" in an attempt to get away from officers, who were trying to restrain her, according to the report. She was then handcuffed.
During a search of Mitchell, officers found a tissue filled with copper wool, commonly used as a screen for crack pipes, and placed it on the trunk of the car, according to the report. In another pocket was a cigarette case with a brown metal crack pipe in it containing copper wool on one end.
Mitchell reportedly tried to eat the copper wool and was moved to the front of the patrol car, where she remained uncooperative, the report stated.
During the search, Mitchell tried to get away from the officer and was seen grabbing a clear plastic bag from the bottom of her shirt where an item fell from her bra, according to the report. The bag contained a quantity of a yellow and white rock substance believed to be crack cocaine.
The officer put the item on the hood of the patrol car and Mitchell tried to blow the contraband off, according to the report. Some of it was blown off but enough remained to be secured.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

The Black Cats shot-stopper is one of a number of Belgium internationals currently setting the Premier League alight.
After establishing himself as number one at the Stadium of Light, Mignolet has become one of the most consistent performers in the English top flight.
His efforts have not gone unnoticed, with transfer speculation building steadily heading into the summer.
The 24-year-old's representative has, however, sought to distance his client from speculation suggesting a switch to Serie A could be on the cards.
Kristof Vandersmissen told tuttomercatoweb.com: "Napoli interested in Mignolet? I have also read this news, but personally I have had no contact with Napoli or any other Italian clubs.
"Simon has a contract for another two years with Sunderland and it's normal that clubs are interested. That is proof that he is doing well.
"However, I repeat, he has a contract with Sunderland."

Mac Danzig: 90 per cent of fighters have used PEDs
Mac Danzig: 90 per cent of fighters have used PEDs - Fighters OnlyAround 90 per cent of professional MMA fighters are using some sort of performance-enhancing substances, claims UFC lightweight Mac Danzig.
The infamously morose Danzig levelled the accusation during an appearance on Joe Rogans podcast, although he didnt say where he had got his figures from.
I know a lot of these people and I train them and I train with them. I would say at least sixty per cent are on them all the time and around 85 to 90 per cent have tried them these guys cycle the stuff and they know how long it will take to get out of their body. Im also talking about HGH - Human Growth Hormone - which isnt tested for right now, he drawls.
* I am suprised these comments took so long to make it to the mma media. Danzig made these claims over a month ago on the Rogan podcast.
Does Danzig have a motive to misrepresent the numbers or is this an accurate view?

California is located on the West Coast of the United States, bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the northeast, Arizona to th ...e southeast, the Mexican state of Baja California to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Its four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco. Much of the state has a Mediterranean climate, with cool, rainy winters and dry summers. The cool California Current offshore often creates summer fog near the coast. Further inland, one encounters colder winters and hotter summers. California's geography ranges from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the east, to Mojave desert areas in the southeast and the Redwood–Douglas fir forests of the northwest. The center of the state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. California is the most geographically diverse state in the nation, and contains the highest (Mount Whitney) and lowest (Death Valley) points in the contiguous United States. Almost 40% of California is forested, a high amount for a relatively arid state.Show More

Freshmen duo helps Herd top Eagles
HUNTINGTON -- DeVince Boykins picked a good time to get his first college basket.
Boykins, a redshirt freshman at Marshall University playing in his third game, buried a 3-point shot Saturday against Coppin State that put the Thundering Herd men's basketball team within 46-42 with 13:25 left in a 69-63 victory over the Eagles in Cam Henderson Center.
He was then joined on the court by true freshman Tamron Manning and they combined to provide a spark defensively.
"Things turned around when they came in," said Marshall center Nigel Spikes.
Marshall (6-4) went to a 2-2-1 zone trap full-court press and it halted Coppin State's momentum.
Boykins stole the basketball and fed Elijah Pittman for a dunk that tied the game, 46-46, with 12:25 left. Then, Boykins pulled down a defensive rebound and Manning assisted Pittman for a 3-point basket and Marshall's first lead at 49-48 with 9:51 to go.
The Herd was back in it, and so was the home crowd of 5,152 spectators.
"They're both real good defenders," Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said. "It changed the tempo. It got the crowd involved."
Coppin State (1-8) went back ahead by six on Michael Murray's layup and 3-pointer and Patrick Cole's layup.
Marshall responded with D.D. Scarver sinking consecutive 3-pointers. Dennis Tinnon converted a three-point play off Scarver's feed and the Herd led, 58-57, with 2:45 remaining.
Scarver, who netted 20 points, said he had confidence in his shots and knocked them down.
"The biggest thing was we were supposed to find 23 (Scarver)," Coppin State head coach Fang Mitchell said. "We're still looking. When they made the big run he hit two and we didn't have anybody close to him."
The Herd finished with three baskets by Dennis Tinnon, one of them after getting the rebound of a missed foul shot, and made eight of its final 10 free throws.
Tinnon had 15 points and 15 rebounds for his 15th double-double in two seasons -- 11 of them in wins.
Pittman tacked on 14 points and Spikes collected 11 rebounds as Marshall dominated the backboards by a 47-29 margin. Dre Kane handed out 11 assists.
Marshall shot 58.3 percent in the second half and 41.9 percent for the game, but continued missing numerous chances around the basket.
"We missed a lot of shots and coach really got on us," Spikes said. "Games like this, we can't have."
Pittman, an 84.4 percent free throw shooter going in, was 0-for-4 to join Marshall's other struggling shooters at the foul line. The Herd was 10-for-19 on free throws fof 52.6 percent.
Marshall is a 59.8 percent free throw shooting team, which ranks last in Conference USA.
Notes: Marshall has made a 3-point shot in 689 consecutive games. ... Sophomore Chris Martin made his first career start in place of Kane, who sat for the first three minutes because of a coach's decision. ... Kane played for 37 of the 40 minutes. ... Boykins and Manning set career highs for minutes with 11 and 12, respectively. ... The Herd committed a season-low nine fouls.

Donald E. Williams was born February 13, 1942 in Lafayette, Indiana. Williams graduated from Otterbein High School in 1960 and went on to earn a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 1964.
Williams received his commission through the NROTC program at Purdue University. He completed flight training at Pensacola, Florida; Meridian, Mississippi; and Kingsville, Texas, receiving his wings in May 1966. After A-4 training, he made two Vietnam deployments aboard the USS ENTERPRISE with Attack Squadron 113. He served as a flight instructor in Attack Squadron 125 at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, for 2 years and transitioned to A-7 aircraft. He made two additional Vietnam deployments aboard the USS ENTERPRISE with CVW-14 staff and Attack Squadron 97. Williams completed a total of 330 combat missions.
In 1973, Williams attended the Armed Forces Staff College. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland, in June 1974, and was assigned to the Naval Air Test Center's Carrier Suitability Branch of Flight Test Division. From August 1976 to June 1977 he was head of the Carrier Systems Branch, Strike Aircraft Test Directorate. He reported next for A-7 refresher training and was assigned to Attack Squadron 94 when selected by NASA. Williams was selected by NASA in January 1978 as an astronaut candidate. He became an astronaut in August 1979, and qualified for assignment as a pilot on future Space Shuttle flight crews. Since then he has had various support assignments, including working at the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory as a test pilot, and at the Kennedy Space Center participating in Orbiter test, checkout, launch and landing operations. From September 1982 through July 1983, he was assigned as the Deputy Manager, Operations Integration, National Space Transportation System Program Office at the Johnson Space Center. From July 1985 through August 1986, Williams was the Deputy Chief of the Aircraft Operations Division at the Johnson Space Center, and from September 1986 through December 1988, he served as Chief of the Mission Support Branch within the Astronaut Office. Twice flown, Williams served as pilot on STS-51D in 1985, and was the spacecraft commander on STS-34 in 1989. He has logged a total of 287 hours and 35 minutes in space. In March 1990, Williams retired from the U.S. Navy and left NASA. He went on become a Division Manager with Science Applications International Corporation, working on several projects in the Houston area, nationally, and internationally.
Williams was honored many time and his awards include: the Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Defense Superior Service Medal, 2 Navy Commendation Medals with Combat V, 2 Navy Unit Commendations, a Meritorious Unit Commendation, the National Defense Medal, an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal, the NASA Space Flight Medal, the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal (with 4 stars), a Vietnamese Gallantry Cross (with gold star), and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.
Discovery (April 12-19, 1985) was launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. During the mission, the crew deployed ANIK-C for Telesat of Canada, and Syncom IV-3 for the U.S. Navy. A malfunction in the Syncom spacecraft resulted in the first unscheduled EVA, rendezvous and proximity operations for the Space Shuttle in an attempt to activate the satellite. Additionally, the crew also conducted several medical experiments, two student experiments, activated two Getaway Specials, and filmed experiments with toys in space. The mission was accomplished in 109 orbits of the Earth in 167 hours, 54 minutes. STS-34 Atlantis (October 18-23, 1989) was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base, California. During the mission the crew successfully deployed the Galileo spacecraft, starting its journey to explore Jupiter, operated the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Instrument (SSBUV) to map atmospheric ozone, and performed numerous secondary experiments involving radiation measurements, polymer morphology, lightning research, microgravity effects on plants, and a student experiment on ice crystal growth in space. The mission was accomplished in 79 orbits of the Earth in 119 hours, 41 minutes.

Chicken potpie is a fine, comforting dinner for most of the winter. But at Christmas, you want comfort with a little more. You want a dinner that's as special as it is comforting.
So we used the model of a basic puff pastry-topped chicken potpie, but substituted tender sirloin tips for the poultry. Add a creamy beef gravy and you end up with a savory potpie that is the perfect casual, comforting, yet special way to cap a wonderful Christmas.
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 6
1 1/4 pounds yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 medium shallots, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 1/4 pounds sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup unsalted or low-sodium beef stock
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and celery and cook until beginning to brown and caramelize at the edges, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Season the sirloin with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the stovetop over high heat. Add the oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, sear the meat on all sides until well browned, about 3 minutes. The meat does not need to be cooked through. Once seared, remove the meat from the pan.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the red wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef stock and flour. Add to the pan, whisking until thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cream. Return the beef, vegetables and potatoes to the pan and stir to combine and coat everything with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium casserole dish or baking pan.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet and set it over the pan. Use a paring knife to cut slits to vent. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the inside is bubbling.

Im clumsy. Awkward. A klutz. Always have been.
I fall downstairs, I fall upstairs. I trip over my own feet. I trip over the dog. I trip over shadows. Last week I covered my face during a sudden sneeze and poked myself in the eye. I walk into open doors and stumble over welcome mats. More than one person has seen me fall out of a car because I couldnt get my feet untangled in time.
I stumble, bumble and trip on a daily basis. Its part of my DNA, apparently. (But why cant I dance a lick, when my mother won multiple dance contests in her day?)
I mention all this so you will understand my empathy when I came across a creature clumsier than me. It happened like this
The closest town to us has a Belks and a feed store in the same shopping center, which I find hilarious but no-one else does. Anyway, I needed to buy some new underwear and Belks has always been known for fine lingerie, the same way JC Penney is known for having terrific curtains.
Now, yall know I HATE to shop, which should tell you the sorry state of my underwear drawer. But I gritted my teeth, clutched my husbands credit card and dashed through the store. Thirty minutes later Id snapped up some cute lingerie, a purse that somehow leaped into my arms and a summer-weight cotton bathrobe printed with tiny red rosebuds.
The cheery bathrobe put me in such a good mood, I decided to go stock up on chicken feed at the Tractor Supply store across the parking lot. (Our roosters, Ben and Jerry, eat a LOT, maybe because they stand approximately three feet tall. Or do they stand approximately three feet tall because they eat a lot?)
After paying for the feed, I was strolling out when I walked by a woman who had what looked like a large plastic owl perched on her leather-gloved hand. First I thought, Okay, its plastic owl appreciation day. Then I thought, Seriously? And turned back around.
Sure enough, it was a real, live owl perched calmly on a womans gloved hand. She represented Lowcountry Raptors, a nonprofit sanctuary that rescues injured raptors and educates the public about the beautiful birds of prey.
The owl, Carolina, kept opening and closing his curved beak, showing his pink throat and making whispery glack glack noises. Then he turned his head 180 degrees and I almost died. It was downright freaky. So of course I pulled out my phone and started snapping photos.
Someone else asked how the owl came to be rescued. The woman said the owl had pounced on a skunk, and being a young, uncoordinated owl, missed his target. The skunk slipped through his talons. Then, justifiably upset, it whirled and sprayed skunk juice right in the owls face. As the owl fell writhing to the ground, the skunk added insult to injury: It ran over and bit the birds toe off. Id need rehab too, after all that.
The owl was blind for a week. Hes fine now, but will never hunt again. Luckily he has a forever home with the sanctuary, and a fellow klutz in me. I am that owl. Clumsy, tripping over my own talonser, feet. Flopping around without a clue, thats me. If I were a raptor, Id be dead by now.
Graceful Im not, but at least Ive never been skunked. Yet.

Prep football playoffs: A look ahead at Friday's area games
Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part look at Friday's eight state playoff games encompassing nine area football programs. Coming tomorrow: Clayton at Hillside, Rocky Mount at Orange, Northwood at Eastern Alamance and Hertford at South Granville.
Game-by-game breakdowns include playoff classification, East Region seeding and overall records. Today's and Friday's reports will be available online at www.heraldsun.com.
3-AA — No. 15 Chapel Hill (4-7) at No. 2 Southern (9-2), 7 p.m. — These Big Eight rivals are no strangers to each other, and conference champ Southern, coming off a 59-20 win over the fifth-placeTigers in the regular season, is the prohibitive favorite. Chapel Hill has battled injuries and bad luck all year, losing a pair of home games (17-15 to Riverside, 29-28 to Carrboro) it could easily have won.
Still, the Tigers don't have the manpower to match up with the offensive juggernaut Southern projects. The Tigers have given up around 30 points a game (316 in all), while scoring 257.
Chapel Hill's offense has produced some balance. The Tigers average 172.2 yards through the air, 127.9 on the ground and have scored 15 touchdowns in each phase.
But Southern's numbers dwarf those. The Spartans average 540.1 yards total offense (279.9 passing, 259.2 rushing) and have scored 81 times this season — 50.6 points per game, actually.
Quarterback Kendall Hinton has a big arm and has passed for 2,978 yards (159 of 236), an average of 18.73 yards per completion and his TD-to-interception ration of 29 to 2 is phenomenal.
On the ground, Hinton leads a group of four with at least 464 yards rushing. He's got 784, Will Cameron is next with 674, Jordan Brown has 588 and Toney Bass 464.
Receivers Maurice Trowell (59 catches, 1,179 yards, 14 TDs) and Derrick Mason (50-909, 11 TDs) each average more than 18 yards per grab, Trowell a remarkable 19.98.
Southern's defense has been suspect at times, but with the Spartans offense clicking, it usually doesn't matter.
4-A — No. 10 Northern (3-8) at No. 7 Wilmington New Hanover (8-3), 7 p.m. — Northern had a remarkable recovery from an 0-6 start this season just to get to the playoffs with a 3-2 that landed third place in a weak PAC-6. But the Knights never pulled an upset and will be hard-pressed to stay with a New Hanover team that's outscored its opponents 357 to 192. Northern's numbers are almost an exact opposite. The Knights have scored 192 while giving up 354 and average only 154.7 yards per game (35.3 passing, 129.4 rushing) total offense.
First-year Northern coach R.J. Wilson said he's impressed with what he's seen of New Hanover's passing game, athleticism and defense.
"They's had some success throwing the ball and they run an unorthodox defense, very aggressive," Wilson said.
A Northern win tonight would be an upset for the ages, but the road playoff experience should prove a boost to the learning curve of the young Knights, whose roster was decimated by graduation a year ago and whose egos somehow survived the awful start to the 2013 season.
4-AA — No. 10 South View (8-3) at No. 7 Riverside (8-3), 7 p.m. — These teams' records are not the only mirror images fans will be looking at tonight. Like Riverside, which relies for most of its offense on 2,000-plus yard rusher Joel Evans, South View eschews the pass for the most part as well, although the Tigers do spread around the ground burden more.
Junior Jeremy Cox averages 7.71 yards a carry and has 1,211 yards on the season, including 16 touchdowns for a team that averages 267.2 yards rushing and only about 68.2 passing.
If the Tigers are going to escape with a win, it will be on the ground. South View quarterbacks have completed only .348 percent of their pass attempts (40 of 115) for 750 yards, eight interceptions and four scores.
Defensively, South View has given up 209 points while scoring 280. Riverside has scored a lot more points — 376 — but has given up more —293 — as well.
1-AA — No. 5 Granville Central (7-4) at No. 4 Princeton (8-3), 7 p.m. — Two of the state's better 1-AA teams will meet in this one. Granville Central has outscored its opponents 491-228 and Princeton likewise dominated the scoreboard 462-227.
There the comparisons end. The visiting Vikings of Stem have a balanced attack that's produced an average of 422.5 yards per game (227.6 passing, 194.9 rushing). Princeton runs the football. And runs and runs and runs. Of the Bulldogs' 437.3 yards a game, 308.2 come on the ground — 2,404 from back Johnny Frasier, who averages 11.78 yards per carry and has scored 35 TDs rushing.
The Bulldogs' Michael Wooten has had some success passing, clinging on 92 of 172 attempts for 1,420 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Granville Central's Jay Parker is hitting on .611 percent of his pass attempts (135 of 221, 2,359 yards, 29 TDs, 9 INTs). Corey Evans, a former Oxford Webb quarterback, leads the team with 149 carries for 1,086 yards on the ground, but two-way star Bryce Parrott makes the Vikings go.
In addition to playing a starring role on defense, he has 636 rushing yards and 13 TDs on 91 carries and is the second leading receiver (41 for 728, 11 TDs) as well. Dylan Beckwith has 42 catches for 811 yards and four TDs.

Recipe by Steph Fisher
"I invented this recipe at the end of the week when groceries were running low-just a few ingredients make up this easy pasta dish. This can be a healthier yet still flavorful meal by using low-fat sour cream and whole wheat pasta."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

8 ounces
angel hair pasta
1 (14.5 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
2 cups
baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup
sour cream
1 tablespoon
prepared basil pesto
This was really good. I added 3 cloves of garlic a few pinches of Oregano and some salt and peppper. After I added the sauce to the noodles. I sprinkled in some parmesan cheese and pine nuts.
I thought this was good and easy, but lacking something. I added some garlic, but next time I might add red pepper to give it a kick.

Really, really good! I put in as much spinach as I could, as others have suggested and it was awesome. We also added in more pesto- try 1 1/2 or 2 tablespoons.
Really easy and really fast. Thanks!
This was quick and tasty. I make something similar and never thought to add sour cream to it. I made it for a family dinner, and there were no loeftovers.
This was so simple and an easy way to clear up leftovers and make a presentable meal. I made it for my roommates and there was nothing left! I did listen to the one review who suggested the red pepper flakes and the garlic though, it added a great flavor!
good but very bland, this was missing something, and I could not figure it out, I will not be making this again.
This recipe was quick and easy. I liked the fresh spinach. I also used fresh tomatoes instead of canned. However, the sauce did seem a little bland. I tried adding crushed red pepper to liven it up, but it didnt seem to do the trick.
We enjoyed this dish very much: no leftovers. I made it because I had a lot of fresh spinach left that I wanted to use. I wish I had chopped it a little first. I added about 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce, and that provided a nice kick. Next time, I will make the recipe with a full pound of pasta and double the diced tomatoes but keep the sour cream amount the same, using as much spinach as I can fit!

A car crashed through a pane of glass into a Verizon Wireless store in Aiken on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident happened just before 1 p.m. at the Verizon Wireless on South Aiken Lane, just off Whiskey Road, according to Sgt. Jake Mahoney of the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The female driver was pulling her four-door Chevrolet Malibu into a parking spot when the incident happened.
"Her foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator," Mahoney said. "She jumped over the curb and through the plate glass window, into the lobby."
The store was occupied by customers and store employees when the incident happened, but Mahoney said there were no injuries.
EMS crews were on the scene tending to the driver, who was later taken to the hospital. Mahoney said she will not face criminal charges for the incident.
"No criminal charges, but she will be found at fault for the collision," he said.
The car sat in the lobby of the store, flanked by black pieces of metal framing and a sea of broken glass that crunched as officers walked around investigating the scene on Wednesday afternoon.
The store is normally open until 8 p.m. on weekdays; however, at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the lights were off and the store was locked. Three pieces of plywood covered the hole.
It was not known at press time when the store closed or if it would be open today.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.
