PAC-6 BOYS' QUARTERS: Hillside, Person advance to semis
Hillside survived a fourth-quarter rally to beat the East Chapel Hill boys 68-59 in the quarterfinals of the PAC-6 4-A Tournament at Roxboro's Person High School Tuesday night.
Robert Robinson Jr., led the No. 3-seeded Hornets with 22 points and was 9 of 10 from the line in the final quarter. Hillside (15-10) got the win and a matchup with No. 2 seed Jordan here Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
In the nightcap of Tuesday's quarterfinal round, homestanding Person upended No. 4 seed Riverside 75-72
No. 5 seed Person will meet No. 1 seed Northern in the other semifinal here Thursday at 6 p.m.
Hillside coach Crasten Davis said East Chapel Hill was a much better team than its 9-15 record indicated.
"They were a good team but at this stage all we want to do is move forward and fight to play another day," Davis said. "It's difficult to beat a team two times, especially three times. They came out and knocked down their shots to stay in the game.
The game was tight throughout the first half. The first quarter ended in a 13-13 tie and at halftime Hillside managed to lead 29-28.
But in the third quarter, Hillside took control and quickly built a double-digit lead. The Hornets' biggest lead of the game was 16 points late in the third quarter when Jarrod France made a 3 for his only points of the game to make it 55-39.
Hillside finished with six 3s in the game, two apiece from Robinson and Justice Kithcart and the other one Trevion Thompson.
East Chapel Hill, the No. 6 seed, was able to chip away at Hillside's lead in the fourth quarter, though. The Wildcats fought back and cut the lead to 62-57 with 1:13 left.
From there, Hillside was able to make enough free throws — 6 of 8 — to secure the win.
East Chapel Hill was not able to execute on the offensive end during that stretch and could not take advantage of the two Hillside misses.
East Chapel Hill coach Ray Hartsfield said Tuesday's game turned out like so many others during the season — his team played tough but couldn't quite get over the hump.
"We kept chipping away and chipping away," Hartsfield said. "We had nothing to lose. We played everybody tough and battled them good. We were 2-8 and could have easily been 8-2 (in PAC-6 play). We just weren't able to finish games off."
Hillside got 17 points from Thompson and 16 from Kithcart.
Thompson said he expected another tough game from East Chapel Hill despite the Hornets sweeping the two regular-season matchups.
"We just wanted to come play our game and move forward," Thompson said. "It's tough beating a team twice and three times just makes it even better."
Lawyer Dallas led East Chapel Hill with 17 points while Robert Wilson added 16.
In the nightcap, Antwon Smith hit a layup with 23 seconds left to give Person its only lead of the second half and then he hit a pair of free throws to extend the Rockets' lead to its final winning margin of 75-72 over Riverside in the first round of the boys' PAC-6 tournament.
"We just worked hard as a team," said Smith, who finished with 14 points. "We've done it all year. Tré (Tapp) dished the ball off to me and I was able to finish. It was a big win for us."
Person coach Charlie Dacus said he thought his team played pretty well the whole game even though they trailed much of the second half.
"We battled and played 32 minutes," Dacus said. "Even though we were down, I felt we were playing pretty well. We kept playing hard and gave ourselves a chance to win it at the end."
Riverside had a chance to retake the lead but Joey Cabrera's driving shot was blocked on the way up and he was forced to Smith before time expired. After Smith made his free throws, the Pirates' final desperation play failed as their inbounds pass sailed out of bounds.
The Rockets used a tenacious press defense that Riverside was unable to solve in the second half. Riverside held a 41-33 halftime lead and the Pirates were up 57-50 going into the fourth quarter.
But Person was able to rally from down 70-65 in the final 2:03 thanks to four made free throws by Tapp, who led the Rockets with 22 points, and a three-point play by Ebon Jay to make it 72-71.
Person then forced a Riverside turnover that set up the winning possession for the Rockets.
Cabrera and Dexter McCrea each scored 14 points to lead Riverside.
The Pirates (2-13) finished with eight 3s in the game, including four by McCrea and a pair by Cabrera.
Riverside coach Brian Strickland said it was a tough way to lose but he was proud of the way his team battled.
"Anytime you come up here and play Person at their place, it is a tough place to play," Strickland said. "Tonight it didn't prove to be any different. It was a game of runs and unfortunately, they made their final run at the end and we couldn't score on that last possession."

Great Stroller!!
By: Heather from Santee, CA
July 29, 2014
My husband and I came to BabyViva thinking that we were set on the BOB stroller. Once we got to the store, Arnold helped us navigate all the various 3-wheel stroller options. He is the one who suggested that we take a closer look at the Baby Jogger Summit X3. I am so happy he recommended it! Once we tested the Summit X3 we knew it was so much better then the BOB! The fabric is just that, fabric (not canvas like the BOB). The one hand fold is dreamy. We liked that the seat reclined to almost flat and could put a newborn in without the carseat. This has been a huge asset for us as our baby really dislikes his carseat. I would love to see Baby Jogger add an automatic lock as it can be a little awkward trying to hold the stroller together and put it in my car. Other then that, this is an amazing stroller.
Beautiful and Well Made!

We ordered the Chatham Curve top crib, nightstand, and 5-drawer dresser in white. We ordered it sight unseen but we couldn't be happier with the furniture. We are so in love with how wonderful the pieces are! The construction is amazing! The one downfall from this brand is that it took quite a while for them to ship our furniture to BabyViva. Munire pushed back the production date but BabyViva was great at keeping us updated on the status of our furniture. Expect that this will really take the full 12 weeks.
Cybex Stroller Cupholders
By: LilTi9er from Cypress, TX
March 21, 2014
Unfortunately, Cybex strollers don't come with cupholders...I wish they did since the price tag isn't cheap. Anyways, these cupholders are exactly for the Cybex strollers and they're awesome b/c they can expand to fit larger bottles/cups. I have a Cybex Callisto stroller and even though there are 4 places to put the cupholders, one place is actually designated for the automatic lock so that's something to remember. In reality, you would use 3 cupholders at the most if you'd still want your stroller to automatically lock when folded down. I use 2 cupholders for my husband and I and one for our daughter's drink. I bought these at the same time with the Callisto carrycot and BabyViva put these cupholders in the carrycot's box for easy shipping. I like that they reduced the number of boxes sent to me. I got them at a discounted price on this site and they shipped my items very quickly. Thank you BabyViva!

BEAUMONT – When head coach Trey Clark began his search for a new assistant, a name came up early and often, and on Monday, Clark went with the initial recommendations, as he announced the hiring of assistant coach Darren Gauson to the Lamar Track and Cross Country programs.
"Darren was recommended to me very early," Clark said. "And once he expressed an interest in us, we were very interested. He came from a quality program, and he was a great athlete for them. He's a great recruiter, and I think his coaching philosophy is very similar to mine. I think he's going to be a great fit."
"I'm ecstatic to be hired, and I look forward to helping grow the programs here," Gauson said. "I think we have the ability to be a national level program on both the women's and the men's side, and that's what attracted me here. There's been a lot of success here in the past, and I'm hoping to help progress it to further."
In four years as an assistant for Butler University, Gauson helped develop and maintain one of the most successful programs in the Horizon League, including helping to continue a streak of 14 consecutive men's cross country championships which also featured a 29th-place finish at the NCAA National Cross Country Championships in 2008.
He was also pivotal in developing the sprinters and hurdlers for the track teams, helping Butler to its best-ever finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2009. In his time with BU, he saw his athletes break four school records and helped in the recruitment and development of Kirsty Legg, who went on to become just the third-ever female track All-American for Butler.
Even though his coaching accomplishments speak for themselves, Gauson, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, enters with a strong reputation as a recruiter.
Prior to joining the staff, Gauson was a standout runner for the Bulldogs from 2006-2008, earning a Horizon League Championship in the 1,500 meter run in 2008 and qualifying for the NCAA Mideast Regional in the event in both 2007 and 2008. He was also a two-time Scottish National Champion in the 1,500, winning back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005.

Dirty Tony: Meet the Devil Inside - Gay Casting Couch Videos
It's a good day for porn! Our favorite jolly blonde giant Danny the Viking is back at what he does best. Robert is new to the world of gay sex and I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head when he saw the size of his partner. Even sitting down our Viking towers over Robert from the windy city. Robert does his best to humor the large man sitting on the couch next to him, and Danny even lets a couple jokes fly. They settle in with a little light teasing, and Robert already starts asking why Danny's belt is already undone. Danny suggests that maybe they should get to fucking and Robert timidly agrees. Being the romantic that he is, Danny sticks his tounge down Robert's throat and there is some hair pulling, heavy breathing and deep kissing. Then we get to the good par--Robert goes down on Danny better than any straight guy that I've had suck my dick. Viking even growls with pleasure and Robert sheds some tears of joy. The hotness of what ensues next was awesome. Danny's alter-e

For support and advice from others, visit our Brain Aneurysms Community
A cerebral aneurysm (also known as an intracranial or intra-cerebral aneurysm) is a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons out and fills with blood. The bulging aneurysm can put pressure on a nerve or surrounding brain tissue. It may also leak or rupture, spilling blood into the surrounding tissue (called a hemorrhage). Some cerebral aneurysms, particularly those that are very small, do not bleed or cause other problems. Cerebral aneurysms can occur anywhere in the brain, but most are located along a loop of arteries that run between the underside of the brain and the base of the skull.
Not all cerebral aneurysms burst. Some people with very small
aneurysms may be monitored to detect any growth or onset of symptoms and to
ensure aggressive treatment of coexisting medical problems and risk
factors. Each case is unique, and considerations for treating an
unruptured aneurysm include the type, size, and location of the aneurysm; risk
of rupture; the individual's age, health, and personal and family medical
history; and risk of treatment.
Two surgical options are available for treating cerebral aneurysms, both of which carry some risk to the individual (such as possible damage to other blood vessels, the potential for aneurysm recurrence and rebleeding, and the risk of post-operative stroke).
Microvascular clipping involves cutting off the flow of blood to the aneurysm. Under anesthesia, a section of the skull is removed and the aneurysm is located. The neurosurgeon uses a microscope to isolate the blood vessel that feeds the aneurysm and places a small, metal, clothespin-like clip on the aneurysm's neck, halting its blood supply. The clip remains in the person and prevents the risk of future bleeding. The piece of the skull is then replaced and the scalp is closed. Clipping has been shown to be highly effective, depending on the location, shape, and size of the aneurysm. In general, aneurysms that are completely clipped surgically do not return.
A related procedure is an occlusion, in which the surgeon clamps off (occludes) the entire artery that leads to the aneurysm. This procedure is often performed when the aneurysm has damaged the artery. An occlusion is sometimes accompanied by a bypass, in which a small blood vessel is surgically grafted to the brain artery, rerouting the flow of blood away from the section of the damaged artery.
Endovascular embolization is an alternative to surgery. Once the individual has been anesthetized, the doctor inserts a hollow plastic tube (a catheter) into an artery (usually in the groin) and threads it, using angiography, through the body to the site of the aneurysm. Using a guide wire, detachable coils (spirals of platinum wire) or small latex balloons are passed through the catheter and released into the aneurysm. The coils or balloons fill the aneurysm, block it from circulation, and cause the blood to clot, which effectively destroys the aneurysm. The procedure may need to be performed more than once during the person's lifetime.
People who receive treatment for aneurysm must remain in bed until the bleeding stops. Underlying conditions, such as high blood pressure, should be treated. Other treatment for cerebral aneurysm is symptomatic and may include anticonvulsants to prevent seizures and analgesics to treat headache. Vasospasm can be treated with calcium channel-blocking drugs and sedatives may be ordered if the person is restless. A shunt may be surgically inserted into a ventricle several months following rupture if the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid is causing harmful pressure on surrounding tissue. Individuals who have suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage often need rehabilitative, speech, and occupational therapy to regain lost function and learn to cope with any permanent disability.
There are no known ways to prevent a cerebral aneurysm from forming. People with a diagnosed brain aneurysm should carefully control high blood pressure, stop smoking, and avoid cocaine use or other stimulant drugs. They should also consult with a doctor about the benefits and risks of taking aspirin or other drugs that thin the blood. Women should check with their doctors about the use of oral contraceptives.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a
component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) within the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services, is the nation's primary supporter of research on
the brain and nervous system. As part of its mission, the NINDS conducts
research on intracranial aneurysms and other vascular lesions of the nervous
system and supports studies through grants to medical institutions across the
The NINDS sponsored the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms, which included more than 4,000 people at 61 sites in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The findings suggest that the risk of rupture for most very small aneurysms (less than 7 millimeters in size) is small. The results also provide a more comprehensive look at these vascular defects and offer guidance to individuals and physicians facing the difficult decision about whether or not to treat an aneurysm surgically.
NINDS scientists are studying the effects of an experimental drug in treating vasospasm that occurs following rupture of a cerebral aneurysm. The drug, developed at the NIH, delivers nitric oxide to the arteries and has been shown to reverse and prevent brain artery spasms in animals.
Other scientists hope to improve diagnosis and prediction of cerebral vasospasm by developing antibodies to molecules known to cause vasospasm. These molecules can be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with subarachnoid hemorrhage. An additional study will compare standard treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage to standard treatment plus transluminal balloon angioplasty immediately after severe bleeding. Transluminal balloon angioplasty involves the insertion, via catheter, of a deflated balloon through the affected artery and into the clot. The balloon is inflated to widen the artery and restore blood flow (the deflated balloon and catheter are then withdrawn).
Researchers are building a new, noninvasive, high-resolution x-ray detector system that can be used to guide the placement of stents (small tube-like devices that keep blood vessels open) used to modify blood flow during treatment for brain aneurysms.
Several groups of NINDS-funded researchers are conducting genetic linkage studies to identify risk factors for familial intracranial aneurysm and/or subarachnoid hemorrhage. One study hopes to establish patterns of inheritance in individuals of different ethnic backgrounds. Another project is aimed at targeting and providing prevention and treatment strategies for persons who are genetically at high risk for the development of brain aneurysms. And other investigators will establish a blood and tissue sampling bank for genetic linkage and molecular analyses.
Scientists are investigating the use of intraoperative hypothermia during microclip surgery as a means to improve the rate of recovery of cognitive functions and to reduce early and postoperative complications and neurological damage. Other studies are investigating ways to improve or replace the coils used in endovascular embolization.
Additional research being funded by the NINDS includes the development of a new animal model of human saccular aneurysm, a new method for tissue processing that should allow routine evaluation of the biological response to implantation of occlusion devices, and a computer simulation model to evaluate the outcomes of neurosurgery in individuals with cerebral aneurysms.

GLENHAYES, W.Va. – Tolsia's Krista Maynard had a triple-double with 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds while adding six steals to lead Tolsia to a 68-45 win over Tug Valley on Monday night.
Adreana Vance led Tug Valley with 17 points, while Emily Baisden added 12 and Amber Linville 11 in the loss. Linville also had six rebounds and four blocks. Tug Valley is still playing without starter Hannah Armstrong. Starter Whitney Evans-Kirk left the game in the first half with an injury.
In addition to Maynard's 27 points, Tolsia got 26 points and 10 rebounds from Savannah Winnett in the victory over the Lady Panthers.
"Tolsia is a very good team, Maynard and Winnett are a good duo for them. Maynard killed us the first half so, we went to a box and one on her and then Winnett got us in the second half," said Tug Valley coach Okey Smith. "Whitney going out with an injury early in the second quarter didn't help us any but, I give my girls credit they never quit and played hard the whole game. I told them after the game that I was proud of their effort."
"I thought Adreana put the team on her shoulders in the second half and was our leader. Emily Baisden and Amber Linville battled all night and ended up with good numbers for us. I thought Cassidy Runyon, Cassie Griffith, Haylea Dempsey, and Katie Robinson gave good efforts against their pressure defense."
Tug Valley is now (8-6) on the season. They play Mingo Central at home on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Tolsia is now (11-3) on the season. They play at Lincoln County on today.
Score by quarters:
Tug Valley (8-6) - Vance 17, Baisden 12, Linville 10, Kirk 2, Runyon 1, Griffith 3.
Tolisa (11-3) - 21 16 15 16 — 68: Maynard 27, Winnett 26, Presley 8, Lahoda 3, J. Maynard 2, Vanhoose 2.

Editor's Note: Voters of municipal elections on March 12 will decide several positions in Crestview and Laurel Hill governments.
To help readers make informed decisions at the polls, the News Bulletin has published profiles of each candidate running for these offices. This installment concludes the series.
Each candidate was asked to answer the same questions and received the same amount of space to respond. Candidates appear alphabetically.
Personal:Married to Karen for 34 years; four children and five grandchildren.
Very active in Relay for Life for many years, acting two years as a committee member.
Volunteer as a driver for the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery, taking patients to treatment and back home again, and work as a volunteer for Crestview's Sharing and Caring food bank.
Relevant experience:
I have served four years as a Laurel Hill City Council member. With the exception of my first meeting, I have served the entire four years as chairman.
I currently write all ordinances, resolutions and contracts for the city. I am very familiar with all of Laurel Hill's ordinances, resolutions and the city charter, Robert's Rules of Order, Florida Sunshine Law, Florida statutes.
I also conduct a monthly internal audit of all city banking transactions.
Other education/experience: I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Troy University and an associate degree from the Community College of the Air Force. Having served 39 years in the U.S. Civil Service and 38 years in the U.S. Air Force Reserves, I have dedicated my entire adult life to public service.
Reason you seek this position: I'm running because it's imperative that the city continues to have oversight of the financial management program, and my experience can ensure this happens.
Voters deserve wise decisions for the use of their tax money. During my last three years as council chairman, our financial situation has gone from almost broke to having enough savings to start overlay of some streets in the near future.
A second reason for continuing my position on the city council is I do my research before voting on council issues. In-depth research will help eliminate mistakes and the associated cost to our citizens.
Biggest issue this position faces and how you plan to address it: The top issue affecting Laurel Hill in 2013 will be to decide if Laurel Hill should remain a city or be dissolved into Okaloosa County.
There are many factors to consider; however, the most noticeable issue is the condition of city streets. Our tax base is not sufficient to maintain streets in the condition our citizens deserve. I have drafted a fact sheet that will provide the pros and cons concerning dissolution.
Once completed and coordinated with Okaloosa County leadership, our citizens should have adequate information on which to base their decision.
Personal: Married to Earnestine James; sons are Jonathan and Morion; three grandchildren; member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Laurel Hill. Volunteer coach and organizer for T-ball and other youth athletic programs.
Relevant experience:I was your city councilman for four years and am experienced in working in city government for the people of Laurel Hill. I worked to direct county and state funds to our city to make improvements, including fixing up our kids' recreation facilities in Gene Clary Park.
Other education/experience:Graduate of Florala, Ala., High School. Two years study at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College, Andalusia, Ala.
Reason you seek this position:There is more work to be done to help the people of Laurel Hill.
We need to fix the streets and attract more business to the town. We need to increase opportunities for our kids.
I am a listener and a worker and I get along with my fellow council members. I will listen to you and work hard for you.
Biggest issue this position faces and how you plan to address it: The biggest issue is fixing our streets and infrastructure and attracting more business and opportunities for our people.
But our resources are limited.
I will work with county and state officials to find grants that will help Laurel Hill grow and attract new families to start fresh on the Hill.
Personal: Lived in Laurel Hill since 1975; widowed three years ago from husband, Harvel. Has four children who graduated from Laurel Hill School. Attend South Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Relevant experience:Former city council president, current mayor, vice president of North Okaloosa League of Cities, on the board of the Northwest Florida League of Cities. Lobbied in Tallahassee with League of Cities.
Other education/experience:Attended First Amendment Foundation seminars on Government in Sunshine, Ethics, and related good-government topics.
Reason you seek this position:I want to serve the people of Laurel Hill on the legislative side of government as opposed to the administrative side. I don't need credit; I'm not a credit-taking person. I just want to do my job and serve my neighbors.
Biggest issue this position faces and how you plan to address it: Acquiring grants to improve our city roads and infrastructure. We've made mistakes in the past and we need to correct them.

At the Annual Conference of the National Association of Social Workers, Maine Chapter, held this spring, a very active KidsPeace associate was recognized for his great work with our kids. Hans Krichels is the director of KidsGiveBack and a counselor at the KidsPeace National Centers of Maine in Graham Lake. He has spent many years getting the children of KidsPeace Maine involved in community service and making huge contributions of hard work and time to several worthy causes.
Hans was presented with the 2008 Citizen of the Year Award by the association and made a speech thanking the organization, the community of Ellsworth, KidsPeace and especially the children who give of themselves so willingly to improve the appearance and resources of the area. In 2008, 48 KidsPeace children logged 999 hours of community service under Hans' enthusiastic leadership. From clearing brush in the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust to conducting animal tracking surveys to helping at the Ellsworth Library to painting the exterior of the Woodlawn Museum to creating a camping/picnic area on the shores of Graham Lake, no task is too big for Hans and his crew of hard-working kids.
Congratulations to Hans and to all of the children at the KidsPeace Maine campus for their great effort and sense of community.

Fantastic for Podcasting and Videochat!
Just wanted to clarify something I was not aware of before purchasing. The headphone-out on the back is the best feature since it Just wanted to clarify something I was not aware of before purchasing. The headphone-out on the back is the best feature since it allows zero-latency monitoring. Furthermore, if you switch the audio output on your mac to the mic, you'll get the monitor plus any audio output from your computer. This lets you video chat while hearing yourself. I'm not sure why this is so fantastic but it somehow is.
The negatives would be the size (hard to avoid since it needs to be elevated) and also the materials. I'd love this to be aluminum or another metal even if were 2x the price. That said, it still looks solid and will probably last a long while. Another negative is its ability to pick up voice from afar - this might be inherent in the way sound works but when you are right up close to the mic the detail is about 5x as opposed to 6" away. The shock mount is also not all it is cracked up to be. Take these negatives with a grain of salt since there are many more positives than negatives.
Overall it is solid and I'd not hesitate to purchase it again. Making a mic with professional-grade construction with the same consumer-driven features would be the icing on the cake. Still the best desktop mic I've used and I'd highly recommend. …

Great Microphone that will Improve the Quality of Home Recordings!
The audio this microphone produces in voice mode is at least as good, if not better, than anything I could create through hours of The audio this microphone produces in voice mode is at least as good, if not better, than anything I could create through hours of post-production editing. Nessie is going to be a real time saver.
The mute button is a little sensitive. It's a capacitive button which means you simply have to touch it for it to respond. A very light brush across its surface can cause Nessie to mute. The button is very sensitive and it became a little annoying when I tried moving the mic into a different position. Several times I inadvertently turned mute on when I held the base to move the mic. I didn't realize that one of my fingers had brushed against the button. When mute is turned on the LED in the base slowly blinks. I wish the mute button was a little higher up on the neck.
There's not much to mention about the adjustable serpentine neck. The head's range of motion is limited.
Nessie works well with Dragon Dictation. With the mic set in voice mode, I ran through Dragon Dictation's voice training. It didn't miss a word. Even when I dictated some real text later on, the word recognition was perfect. There wasn't one mistake. This microphone will improve the quality of any home recording. …

'The Walking Dead' Comic Series 3 Action Figures Just Announced
Team Up With Your Favorite New Character This Summer
Tuesday, January 07, 2014
The Walking Dead just keeps coming back for more…
McFarlane Toys is excited to announce The Walking Dead Comic Series 3 action figures from the best-selling Image comic book. This new collectible series brings The Walking Dead comic fans more of their beloved zombie-dispatching characters, along with a kickass zombie just waiting to be "axed"!
So take a break from dismembering that zombie behind you (he's missing legs anyways) and take a look at this gruesomely awesome line up!
Our latest Rick Grimes action figure features the main character of The Walking Dead as he appeared following the fall of the prison. After losing his new home, his right hand, his wife, and even his newborn daughter to the Governor, a tougher, harsher Rick emerged from the rubble. Far from his beginnings as a clean-cut sheriff, this new version of Rick shows the scars of survival and loss that have shaped him throughout his struggle to survive. Figure features a bandaged stump on his right arm; long, unkempt hair and beard; and a ragged t-shirt with jeans. This battle-hardened version of Rick also comes heavily armed – ready to stop any threat, whether living or undead. Figure includes hatchet, revolver, shotgun, and rifle.
One of the original members of the Atlanta camp, Andrea has grown to become a capable defender of Rick Grimes and his band of survivors. Although she had never fired a gun before, Andrea discovered she had a natural skill with firearms, quickly becoming an expert sharpshooter and defending the group through the scope of a rifle. Like Rick, she has suffered pain and loss, and been left scarred – both with the physical scars of an attack from a knife-wielding serial killer, and the emotional scars of losing her sister and her beloved Dale. Our figure of Andrea features this skilled marksman in her prison aftermath attire of a tank top, torn jeans, and gloves. Figure includes her signature scoped rifle, plus a pistol and a knife for closer-range threats.
Our Punk Rock Zombie blends the horror of zombies with the rebellious aesthetics of punk rock to create a visually unique and unforgettable figure. Inspired by page 17 of The Walking Dead #30, you'll need something bigger than a safety pin to fend off this foe! As the prison survivors brace for an attack from the Governor, Dale spots Tyreese returning from a dangerous mission. With only his suit of riot gear to protect him, Tyreese charges through a field full of walkers – including one with a tall, punk mohawk. Our interpretation of this distinctive undead shambler fills out what isn't shown in the comic, adding classic punk details like a spiked collar and cuffs, studded belt with anarchy buckle, ripped jeans, and combat boots. Figure also comes with guitar accessory – so your survivors can wield an "axe" against the rest of your zombie hordes.
A relatively new addition to The Walking Dead, Dwight was introduced in the memorable "Something to Fear" storyline surrounding the series' shocking 100th issue. A top lieutenant of Negan and his so-called "Saviors," Dwight led an attack on Rick's group in the Alexandria safe zone. Using his signature crossbow, Dwight suddenly and unexpectedly killed a major character, dealing a crushing blow to the sheltered community. Life under Negan's rule has not been kind to Dwight. When his wife disobeyed Negan's draconian rules, he punished them both by branding and scarring Dwight's face with a hot iron. Such treatment has pushed Dwight to rebellion. Now a double-agent, Dwight is working with Rick and the combined forces of Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom to overthrow the ruthless dictator. Our figure of Dwight features the scarred Savior in his sleeveless shirt and vest, complete with bandages and burned face. Figure includes Dwight's crossbow and a hook to attach it to his belt.
Pick up these The Walking Dead survivors and one rocking zombie this June.

WEST COLUMBIA (AP) — Two South Carolina men are out on bond after being arrested on charges of stealing steel beams worth more than $10,000 from a church near West Columbia where similar thefts had occurred four times in the past.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department said deputies arrested a 49-year-old man from Lexington and a 28-year-old man from West Columbia on one count each of grand larceny. Deputies said Raymond Wayne Welch and Michael James Hall were arrested Friday and released Saturday from jail after each posted a $20,000 bond.
Sheriff James Metts said the two were arrested after deputies saw them place steel beams on a trailer they had parked outside the House of Praise. Steel beams had been stolen from the church four times in the past and sold for recycling.

Sat, May 26th, 2012, 11am to 11.45am PST – we will be broadcasting LIVE! (as long as the internet connection is strong enough)
Join me for this LIVE netcast celebrating my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast". This event is being broadcast from 11 to 11.45am PST on Sat May 26th, 2012 from San Francisco, CA.
Please stop by if you're in the SF embarcadero area:
I'm starting to netcast for the first time again since I conceived of and executive produced 'Fiber' back in 1995, before ISDN or T1 were available! 'Fiber' was the World's 1st online fashion show event ever, and it was broadcast over copper phone lines to the Mbone at UC Berkeley, CA, and then out to the world!
Thanks for joining me here and for helping me celebrate my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast"! Love you all xo, ani
I went down to Little Saigon in Orange County to celebrate Lunar New Year, Vietnamese style. Here I'm being fitted for my dress. Traditional Vietnamese dresses are called Ao Dai.
These dresses are super flattering with high side openings and wide, silky, flowing pants.
Next stop is the Vietnamese New Year Festival, where I found a baby cherimoya tree.
This marketplace made me feel like I was in SE Asia, except it was much colder here in California. Tons of tropical fruit like rombutan, cherimoya, and jackfruit. Yummy!
These magnolias are so pretty!
There were so many varieties of orchids at the Lunar New Year Festival. Check out the bulbous orchids at the top of this photo, hanging down.
It's the Year of the Dragon. And, no Lunar New Year Celebration is complete without dragon dancers. These Vietnamese dragons, aka lion dragons, are made up of 2 people, while the Chinese dragons are much longer.
There were 4 different lion dragons in different colors. People were feeding the lion dragons 'lucky' dollar bills to ensure good luck and fortune for the new Lunar New Year.
And last but not least….. fresh durian! Here my friend and I are driving and eating durian in the car. We actually think durian smells good! Sweet and delicious. I guess I can only be friends with people that love durian too. Hahaa.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year that's filled with tons of love, bliss, health, and prosperity. May we all choose to live long and be happy! xoxo
dineLA is an exciting 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, INC) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. LA's a huge county full of many great spots for food and drink. So, to help filter through over 300 participating restaurants, dineLA's invited me to call out a few restaurants offering vegetarian dineLA menu items. I live in West Hollywood, so most of my recommendations are for spots in my area.
For dineLA, participating restaurants offer a fixed 3-course menu for lunch and/or dinner…a great way to taste popular dishes. If a restaurant offers only 1 or 2 vegetarian items on their dineLA menu, many will let you order just those vegetarian items, so do ask. You'll also find a few vegan and almost raw items too.
With so many great dineLA restaurants, it was challenging to choose just 10! Here's a few vegetarian items to look for. If you prefer vegan, ask to leave off the dairy. It's that simple. Click each link below to view their dineLA menu:
:: Check out photos from the dineLA Kickoff Celebration at the W Hotel in Westwood last week with my Exec Chef friends.

:: Check out my dineLA Vegetarian Roundup – my top 10 picks for restaurants who have vegetarian and even vegan items on their dineLA menus.
To celebrate, dineLA hosted a party at the W Hotel in Westwood last week on Jan 11th, 2012 with flowing scotch, champagne, beer, and wine. Though I've taken a break from drinking, I had to have just one scotch because it was Highland Park 12 year, neat with one ice cubes on the side please.
Chef Jason Fullilove from The Tar Pit has the best last name ever! He may look familiar because he was on the 1st episode of Chef Hunter on Food Network last month. Keep a look out, as he'll soon be on Cooking Channel too. Finally, diversity on TV, yeah! Chef Jason's food is yummy. For dineLA, you will find 2 vegan dishes on his vegetarian menu including a Roasted Vegetable Terrine, Winter Root Vegetable Pasta, and a choice of 3 decadent desserts.
Executive Chef Chris Morningstar from Ray's and Stark Bar, hailed by Esquire Magazine as "One of the best new restaurants of 2011″. Bravo Chef Chris! Chris and I first met while we were both preparing for our Test Kitchen dinners as Chris' dinner was the night following my 2-nights of Ani Phyo's Gastrawnomique. His menu was completely opposite mine….all animal products vs. my vegan raw. I get a kick out of the fact his last name, Morningstar….it's the brand name of popular vegan and vegetarian breakfast sausages….though Chris' expertise is with meat. Ray's and Stark Bar is a Patina group restaurant, and I was super stoked when Chris told me his boss and Master Chef Joachim Splichal had given him a copy of Ani's Raw Food Essentials to use while creating menus and recipes for Google campus.
Exec Chef and owner Kerry Simon from Simon L.A. is offering several vegetarian items on his lunch and dinner dineLA menus including Market Roasted Vegetable Kale Salad, Fennel Pollen, Sherry Vinaigrette (I love kale!), Spinach Salad with Dates and Persimmon, plus desserts that look amazing like a House Made Kit Kat. Yum! Chef Kerry is very accommodating, is happy to let you order items from the dineLA menu, plus is fine with you making substitutions and requests. So just ask, and you shall receive!
dineLA asked artist Phil Lumbang to illustrate chef characters that were being silk screened onto canvas dineLA bags for everyone. What a fun idea, and very cool bag. Chef Chris Morningstar had a character screened onto his chef jacket, super cute!
Shana Wong (LA Magazine), William Karz (LA, inc), Shelley Leopold (LA Weekly), and I watching the screening of characters onto the canvas bags.
Our hostess Stacey Sun is red. She makes dineLA happen. Thanks Stacey! Excited to check out new restaurants beginning next week!

New Year's Day 2012 I took a trip out to Pasadena's Rose Bowl to help with the Donate Life float for the Rose Parade, which was on Jan 2nd this year. Donate Life is an amazing organization that raises awareness so we stick that pink dot onto our driver's license, to help save lives by being an organ donor. My dad was a kidney recipient, so this organization rings very close to my heart.
This is the beautiful finished float. The folks sitting on it are the stars of the show…family members of donors from 2011. The stories I heard yesterday were so moving, and I broke into tears numerous times. One woman's 9-year old daughter had gone to the hospital for an ear infection. The hospital misdiagnosed and mistreated her (not uncommon), and she died. Her mom was proud to share how her daughter lives on in others, literally, and that her daughter has saved many lives by being a donor. You can see the portraits of each donor on 6 clock faces, a total of 72 donors are honored.
My good friend Vicky is a 'red jacket' and one of the team leaders on this huge project. She's been here working on the float for weeks from early morning until 11pm. A huge undertaking, whew.
We are all misting the flowers with water before the float is moved outdoors for judging. It was gorgeous in Pasadena, 80 degrees!
Everything on all of the floats in the Rose Parade are all organic! This means only living materials like flowers, leaves, seeds,…all put on by hand.
Look at this detail….mustard seeds painstakingly glued onto the surface. Wow.
Beans and flower petals have all been attached by hand.
This is the bed of roses underneath the clock with the moving hands at the front of the float.
Look closely and you can see each of these red roses has a wish tied onto them.
When the float moved outside into the sun, all the colors popped so brightly! You can see the driver of the float inside the open door. The driver can't see a thing, and is guided by audio by someone outside the float.
At one point, everyone held hands in a circle around the float. It was very moving. And even the judges teared up and cried when they talked with the donor families and heard all the incredible stories. Today, I discovered (since I don't have a TV to watch the parade myself) that our float won one of the top 3 trophies and the craftsmanship award for outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact over 55 feet! Yeah! I also heard that floats cost about a half a million dollars to build! Great exposure and for a wonderful cause.
This was one of the best, most memorable New Year Day's of my life. What a way to spend the 1st day of the new year. Plus, I felt like it was in honor too of my dad, who was so very blessed to have had a kidney transplant, which helped extended his life another 10 or 12 years. I learned that a liver lives for 100 years, so even after someone passes from old age, a liver can be donated to help another person live. Amazing.
I've chosen to be an organ donor for as long as I can remember, and I hope you will also consider joining me in helping save lives so someone else may live one more day! For more information check out Donate Life.
This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
Last night, I was invited to attend the 6th annual NetKal Gala at USC in Los Angeles, CA. I'm wearing my favorite Luxury Eco Designer Linda Loudermilk: gown made of organic silk, sustainable glass bead lace, ring and necklace made from recycled and remnant chain silver. Dorit Genazzani is my favorite makeup and hair artist, and I love how she makes me look beautiful…thanks Dorit!
There were over 500 Koreans and Korean Americans from the entertainment industry at the NetKal Gala, including actors, directors, producers, and studio executives. Jane Cha is Exec Producer for Project Runway, Ken Mok is creator and Exec Producer of America's Next Top Model, and Lisa Ling (below) from Our America on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Kenny G is still going strong, making music and performing. He's my one token non-Asian, and everyone was stoked to see him there. hahaaa
My good friend Namju Cho looks so pretty in her cocktail dress. We met when she interviewed me for a feature in KoreAm Journal.
Food was catered by my friends Pauline Perry, Joanne Purnell, and David Cho at Good Gracious.
Old school friends came down from San Francisco last weekend to host the most wicked day of dance, tunes, and great vibes…and it was the best day I've enjoyed in a while! DJ's Solar (above) and Galen (below) are both Sunset and Pacific Sound crews. (I used to have a multimedia studio back in the day in SF, and we threw a historic NYE party in 1995 together with Sunset). When I lived in SF, all I would do is dance for exercise. It's the best workout ever! Plus, Solar cooks, and of course loves Raw Food!
Here's Galen. These guys still look the same as they did back in the early 90′s! And they put so much love into their music, you can feel it. We agreed dancing, good music, and raves are what keep us young! I was just up in SF a couple months ago, and went to the Sunset boat party hosted on a ferry that sails the Bay from 6 to 11pm. A perfect way to finish off the weekend, always.
Since I'm usually in bed by 10pm, this daytime party in the park was exactly what I needed! The sun was bright and warm in Van Nuys where we all laid out picnic blankets, brought food, and danced up a storm. Galen, Solar, and the Sunset Crew are known for their outdoor parties on Sunday afternoons. They've been hosting them for probably over 20 years now! We'd all end up at Sunset parties after a long weekend. Great way to taper down off the weekend.
Another great thing about partying in the park is that Kanga can join in too! She laid down in the middle of the dance floor early on, and made folks dance around her the rest of the afternoon. She loves to be in the center of everything. She was very popular, and calm, but, …..no parking on the dance floor Kanga!
My lovely lady friends, and Max the dog. Maria's the beautiful blond, and is the talented photographer who took the cover photo on Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Galen spun last, and brought in the sunset while pumping the dance floor. He and Solar both motivated me to go to their after party downtown, which started past midnight, …..and it went to dawn! A Sunset, and then sunrise event! (Small world too because the party ended up in a warehouse space owned by Thomas, who has assisted me in my raw food kitchen!)
Thank you Sunset, Solar, and Galen. Come visit us in LA again soon, and host more outdoor parties for us…please! I miss great SF tunes, the Sunset sound, and vibe. I'd head to SF for their Halloween Boat Party, except Mom's coming to visit me in LA. Thanks for bringing your tunes to LA for us to enjoy! Love you guys! xoxo
I visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
Watch my debut on Los Angeles TV with ABC 7′s Health Coach Lori Corbin.

The Observer reports that Google is in talks with Orange "about a multi-billion-dollar partnership to create a 'Google phone' which makes it easy to search the web wherever you are".
A Google-branded phone could include a browser that uses Google's transcoder to optimize web pages for the phone, easy to access Google search, maps, Gmail, Blogger and maybe more.
"The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specializing in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod."
Last month, Eric Schmidt said: "Your mobile phone should be free. It just makes sense that subsidies should increase"
While a Google Phone is just a rumor for the moment, you can't deny it's an interesting idea.
Update: Many rumors floated since this article was posted. Here's a list of the most trustworthy rumors about the Google Phone.
Update 2: Google Phone turned out to be a mobile platform - Android.

The latest design refresh updated not only Google's homepage, but also search results pages. Google uses a new color scheme for the sidebar, adds grayscale icons next to the specialized search engines, replaces the standard search button with a label-less blue button, uses a smaller Google logo and adds a gray background color to the header.
Google says it has "muted the color of the tools and reserved the use of bolder colors to highlight key action buttons, tools and filters". Unfortunately, the change made the sidebar icons less useful and the search box too prominent. The new header could pave the way to a search results page that uses "infinite scrolling" instead of pagination.
Here's the old interface:
Can you find other changes?

Heifer's Work in Honduras
Country Overview
Once part of Spain's vast empire, Honduras gained its independence in 1821. In recent history, the country spent much of the 1980's fighting the Marxist Nicaraguan government and leftist guerrillas. In 1998, the country was struck by Hurricane Mitch, which killed about 5,600 people and caused over $2 billion in damage.
Today, Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America with more than half of the inhabitants living in poverty. The majority of these families struggle to exist on subsistence agriculture in rural areas. The situation is increasingly grave due to factors beyond their control, including the food crisis and the increase in oil prices. Paradoxically, government programs are focusing on the production of agrofuels to the detriment of food security for the Honduran people.
Both internal and external migration has also increased due to the lack of opportunities for a better life. It is estimated that at least one million Hondurans work in the United States, Spain and other countries for what seems to be the last chance to provide for their families.
Heifer Honduras
Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America with more than half of the inhabitants living in poverty. The majority of these families struggle to survive through subsistence agriculture in rural areas.
In 1978, Heifer International began operations in Honduras with a food program based on donating dairy goats to poor rural families, sending the first shipment of goats in 1979, followed by other shipments in 1981 and 1984. At the same time, Heifer sent other animals such as rabbits, ducks, sheep and donkeys, extending the program to 60 communities located in four regions of the country.
During the following years and to this day, agreements with various partners (grassroots organizations, microenterprises and non-governmental organizations) have pursued rural programs with livestock, agroecological and entrepreneurial components. Based on the prior experience of introducing animals for small, integrated farms, Heifer Honduras has expanded its efforts to take assistance to 6,000 families in 300 rural communities distributed among 15 departments.

In total there are about 16 ways you can bring home your own gold or silver, but it will cost you a little green.
We've got more mascards the most populate one is a white bear and we've got a lot of coins devoted to differ types of sports such as Skelton biathlon figure skating and whatnot.
And what seems to most popular when it comes to the sports--- curling?
"This sport is very popular among foreigners Russian customers prefer figure skating hockey and biathlon" So what can you expect to pay?
"The price is about 3,000 rubles and up to 3,600 rubbles."
So for the coins devoted to differ sports the starting price is about $55 U.S. up to about $115.
Now in paper money you also have some options starting at 100 rubles a piece.
But coins seem to be the favorite in fact while we were there a man buying some. He didn't want to talk on camera, but he did take home his own gold and silver from Sochi. These coins are currently in circulation.

Apple's Podcasts app updated to version 2.0, brings iOS 7 styling and playback improvements along with it
I'd say that it can't get much worse but then they keep finding ways to mess up iTunes lately.
Shut up.
ha ha. Exactly.
Anybody else's badge numbers not working for unlistened podcasts downloaded before the update?
Sent from the iMore App
Yes. I am having the same problem.
I was finally able to get my iPhone, MacBook, iPad AND Apple TV all to sync up. The trick seems to be that you MUST subscribe to the podcast from within iTunes. If you subscribe via iOS things get screwed up somehow. I ended up deleting all my subscriptions and starting again from iTunes - now everything is perfectly synced. ...... although that was all in the old version of the iOS app. They might have fixed things now.
After I manually set the order of my podcasts on my iPad, and then a podcast updates the order rearranges. I use to be able to set the order in grid mode by what I listened to most often. This was important because my iPad is mounted in my truck and I use it and the main audio playback device. I can't be looking all over to fine the podcast i want while driving. Any ideas on how to set the order and get it to stick?
What happened to the button to switch from blue-tooth headphones to the iPhone speaker? It looks like it is missing from the music app now too.
The new version just keep crashing. No matter how many time I shut off and restart the phone, it just wont work. Looks like I'm going to have to uninstall it, loose all my settings and reinstall it just to see if it fixes it. Needless to say: lame update!

Location: Close to the centre of Ionview and fairly easy to find and there is parking round the back - though due to the weather it was a little treacherous when I was there. Apartment: It is based in what seems to be an old mill house, and is palatial in scale. Inside I felt more like I was in a small business hotel than a lobby. The room I used for my romp with Roxi was clean and well appointed with an en-suite shower and large bed. I'd like more mirrors - though we made good use of the one that was there.

La Plata County: Dylan Redwine vanishes on Thanksgiving trip to father's home
Mark Redwine said he is haunted by the perplexing disappearance of his 13-year-old son Dylan during a Thanksgiving visit in November 2012.
There are so many possibilities, and all of them seem a little far-fetched, but because something odd did happen, one of those unlikely explanations has to be right. The boy who he never argued with didn't just vanish into thin air.
He ponders so many different scenarios: Dylan is picked up while he is hitchhiking by someone he trusted, only to be kidnapped; Dylan goes fishing and a bear attacks and kills him; someone breaks into his home and snatches his son; Dylan is distraught because of his parents' breakup and wanders into the forest.
"What is out of the realm of possibility is that I would do anything to my son," Mark Redwine said in lengthy interview Friday, during which he offered rambling explanations about his own version of what became of Dylan.
On Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, Dylan took a 300-mile airplane flight from his home in Colorado Springs to Durango to visit his father.
The eighth grader at Lewis-Palmer Middle School lived in Colorado Springs with his mother Elaine Redwine and older brother Cory.
When Dylan arrived at the airport his father picked him up. The boy texted his mother at 7:06 p.m., telling her that he had arrived safely and that he and his dad were going out to dinner.
His dad took him to a McDonald's for dinner and to Wal-Mart to buy some things.
On the 45-minute drive north to his home, Dylan asked his dad whether he could go to the home of his friends for a visit. Up until four months earlier, Dylan, his brother and his mom had been living in nearby Bayfield.
The Redwines had moved from Denver to Bayfield in 2004 when Elaine took a job at Fort Lewis College, according to the Durango Herald.
When the couple divorced three years later, Elaine Redwine and the boys continued to live in Bayfield and Mark Redwine stayed in the house near Vallecito Reservoir. Elaine moved to Colorado Springs in July 2012 when she took a job at Colorado College in Colorado Springs.
The Thanksgiving visit was mandated by court order. His parents had been involved in a contentious divorce for more than half of Dylan's life.
When father and son arrived at Mark's house, Dylan texted his friends up until 8 p.m. and made arrangements to see them the next morning. His friends said he was to meet them at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
That next morning, though, Dylan was still under his blankets, asleep on the couch, Mark Redwine would later explain. Mark Redwine had errands to run in town. He waited for his son to get up until 7:30 a.m. so that he could take Dylan to the home of a friend.
Mark Redwine said he tried to roust his son. But when he didn't wake, Mark Redwine drove to town alone.
"He was very much alive," he said.
Mark Redwine visited his divorce lawyer.
When he returned home at 11:30 a.m., there was a dirty cereal bowl beside the sink. The television was on Nickelodeon and his son's fishing pole was gone. So was his black-and-gray backpack. A few articles of clothing were left behind on the couch.
Dylan Redwine was gone.

Wind: 0 mph
Robert J. "Bob" Kellett, 91, passed away at Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin on Monday evening, November 25, 2013. Born in Duxbury on October 4, 1922, he was the son of the late Alderic and Annis (Ring) Kellett. On October 18, 1943, he married the former Maydene Durett in Waterbury.
Bob was a 1940 graduate of Waterbury High School and then went on to work at Fellows Gear Shaper Co. in Springfield. Following his marriage to Maydene, together they purchased a dairy farm on Gregg Hill in Waterbury Center, which they operated until 1960. Bob then purchased and ran Bob's Shell Station on South Main Street in Waterbury for several years.
A craftsman at heart, Bob decided to pursue the building trades, forming the OK Construction Co. with fellow builder and friend Richard Orfield. In later years, Bob continued construction with Dick Aylward, retiring at the age of 84.
Bob and Maydene built a camp on Holland Pond where they spent many happy years fishing and enjoying the company of family and friends.
Bob is survived by his wife and best friend of 70 years, Maydene Kellett of Waterbury Center; their children, Susan Gilbert and her husband Edmund of Eden and Stephen Kellett and his wife Mary of Waterbury Center; 6 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Bob is predeceased by four sisters, Kathryn Nichols, Evelyn Truax, Margaret Richardson and Bethany Morse; and two brothers, Alderic Kellett and Paul Kellett.
Memorial services were held from Waterbury Center Community Church on Wednesday, December 4, 2013, at 11 a.m., with a reception following in the church dining room. The family requests that flowers be omitted; rather memorial gifts would be appreciated to Waterbury Ambulance Service, P.O. Box 95, Waterbury Center, VT 05677, or to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641 (www.cvhhh.org.). Assisting the family is Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury. To send online condolences visit www.perkinsparker.com and Facebook.
