DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Authorities say a Woodbury County man is charged with supplying alcohol to a teenager who later died in a head-on collision on Interstate 29 near Sioux City.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says Robin Armfield, of Hornick, was arrested on Wednesday for a February crash that killed 17-year-old Mary Hughes, of Salix.
Authorities say she was driving south in the northbound lane of I-29 and collided with a pickup truck. Tests showed her blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit.
Armfield was taken to the Woodbury County jail on $25,000 bond. The sheriff's office says he was released on Thursday.

(SOUTH SIOUX CITY)--A Siouxland area is a finalist for All America City.
Dakota County, Nebraska was notified of the finalist honor. The nomination includes the county and its communities and schools along with the South Sioux City Chamber of Commerce.
The competition is through the National Civic League's All-American City awards.
To reach this finalist phase, the county completed an application describing three community projects to address local challenges. At least one project was required to focus on the needs of young people.
The 2011 winners will be chosen from the finalists with an announcement during an event in Kansas City June 15-17th.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Two Iowa Army National Guard soldiers have been wounded in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan.
Guard spokesman Col. Greg Hapgood says 21-year-old Spc. Timothy Bagley, of Brandon, and 30-year-old Sgt. Eric Lindsey, of Eldora, were injured on Monday when their vehicle hit an IED while conducting combat operations. Both soldiers are with an Iowa Falls-based company with the 34th Infantry Division.
Hapgood says Thursday that the soldiers were evacuated to a military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. He did not have details on their injuries, but says they will eventually be transferred to medical hospitals in the U.S.
WAVERLY, Iowa (AP) A Bremer County jury has convicted a man accused of killing a friend with a hatchet of first-degree murder.
The Messenger in Fort Dodge says the jury deliberated for about an hour on Thursday before returning the guilty verdict against 21-year-old Lucas Faulkner, of Eagle Grove.
Faulkner was accused of killing 19-year Devin Resh, of Webster City, while they were fishing at an old gravel pit near Eagle Grove last May.
Faulkner's trial, which was moved to Waverly in Bremer County, began Monday. The defense rested its case Thursday morning. The jury got the case Thursday afternoon.
A sentencing date hasn't been set. Faulkner faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
ALTOONA, Iowa (AP) A Waterloo man accused in a hit-and-run that killed a man in central Iowa faces several charges including vehicular homicide.
Da Jour Sawyers was charged Thursday in a collision that happened during the morning commute in Altoona, near Des Moines.
Police told The Des Moines Register that Sawyers was driving a stolen sport utility vehicle, ran a red light and slammed into a car. The driver of the car, Chad Wells, of Altoona, died at the scene.
Police say Sawyers ran off, but was found inside a nearby garage, where he was allegedly trying to steal a car.
Sawyers is in the Polk County jail on seven charges. Bond was set at $50,000 on the vehicular homicide charge. Jail officials did not know if he had an attorney.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Gov. Terry Branstad has ordered all flags in Iowa be flown at half-staff in honor of an Iowa sheriff's deputy killed in the line of duty in southeast Iowa.
Keokuk County Deputy Eric Stein, of What Cheer, was shot to death last Monday allegedly by a man with a history of mental illness. Jeffrey Krier was later killed by officers after a standoff at his home near Sigourney.
In the order on Thursday, Branstad says all U.S. and state flags under the control of Iowa are to be flown at half-staff from noon on Friday until 8 a.m. on Monday.
Stein's funeral will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Sigourney High School.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Legislative Democrats have proposed a $200 million plan to ease business property taxes, focusing mostly on smaller businesses.
Under the plan, the first $30,000 of the value of a business property would be taxed at residential property rates, which are about half of commercial rates.
The measure would be phased in over four years, and would cost $50 million in the first year. Cuts in future years would depend on state tax revenues increasing enough to pay for the reduction.
Sen. Joe Bolkcom, an Iowa City Democrat, who helped draft the plan, says the typical business would see about a $600 cut in property taxes in the first year the plan is on the books.
Debate is expected in the Senate next week.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Gov. Terry Branstad has signed into law a measure aimed at protecting young athletes from traumatic head injuries.
Under the measure signed Thursday, a student athletic suspected of having a concussion would be removed from competition until cleared by a medical professional.
The National Football League is taking the issue of head injuries seriously, and officials say younger athletes should be protected, too. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is pushing states nationwide to pass similar laws.
Branstad says he spoke with Goodell on Thursday, and the NFL Commissioner congratulated him on signing the measure.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A state audit has found more than $24,000 in questionable spending in the volunteer fire department in the western Iowa town of Modale.
The report released Thursday identifies questionable fuel purchases and parts for vehicles not owned by the department. It also identified spending that does not serve a public purchase, including more than $4,600 spent on alcohol and ice.
The audit looked at records between 2006 and 2010.
It found multiple checking and savings accounts kept by the department that were not monitored by the city council, and raised questions about the handling of donations.
Former department treasurer Julie Gilgen, says everything she signed off on had receipts and there were no concerns she knew of.
A listing for a former fire chief named in the report was not found.

As a new interim city manager takes the reins in Greenville today, a city council member is speaking out about his colleagues on the council and the mayor.
Greenville City Council Member Calvin Mercer said in an email sent to constituents, "I am concerned about improper micro-management causing or contributing to the departure of excellent seasoned professionals from our city ranks." The comments follow the resignation of three top officials so far this year: the city manager, the police chief and the public works director.
"I do not want to see any more resignations of top staff," Mercer said, warning that the success of the interim city manager, Thom Moton, would depend "in large part" on whether Mayor Allen Thomas and the Greenville City Council can avoid micro-managing Moton and his staff.
At his retirement reception Wednesday, the outgoing city manager, Wayne Bowers, reiterated that his decision to retire around the same time the police chief and public works director resigned was coincidental.
Meanwhile, the search for permanent replacements for those posts continues.

So yesterday I took a minor spill on wet bricks. My left brake hood (Shimano Sora- triple) is bent inward at a 45 degree angle to the drop bar.
I'm fairly new to all this, but I understand this is what they are designed to do in a crash. How do I move it back (brute force doesn't seem to work)?
Is there anything else I should check before riding again? As I said, it was a minor spill (ie, no frame damage). Also, I came down on the non-drive side.
Thanks in advance!

(Wakamatsu-Kawada - Spanish). 3359-5830
Elegant, high-end Spanish food in rather grand surroundings - the former residence of Count Ogasawara. Lunch from Y7000, full-course dinners from Y9000, not including wine.
Shinjuku-ku, Kawadacho 10-10. Open 11:30am-2, 6-9pm (LO) daily.

El Flamenco
(Shinjuku - Spanish). 3356-3816
Live flamenco dancing is the main draw at this long-running Shinjuku institution. The music charge is Y3675, but Y4500 will get you a mixed tapas platter and a drink in addition to the show. Other prix-fixe menus that include the show are priced Y6,500-10,000.
Shinjuku-ku, Shinjuku 3-15-17, Isetan Kaikan 6F. Open 11:30am-2, 6-10:30pm. Closed Wednesdays.

(Shibuya - Spanish). 5459-5507
A two-story late-night Spanish bar and restaurant, with your choice of bar snacks and wines or a complete Spanish meal. The upstairs restaurant has a nice selection of charcoal-grilled meats.
Shibuya-ku, Dogenzaka 1-11-3. (behind Tokyu Plaza) Open 11:30am-4am daily.
Bikini Tapa
(Shibuya - Spanish). 5784-5500
A bit more ambitious than your typical tapas joint, Bikini offers "modern Catalan cuisine," including an extensive selection of pinchos and other small dishes. The Y1800 special lunch includes a platter of five pinchos followed by an excellent seafood-heavy fideua - just like paella, but made with short pasta noodles instead of rice. Budget around Y3500 at dinnertime.
Shibuya-ku, Dogenzaka 1-12-5, Mark City East 4F. Open 11am-3, 5-10pm (LO) daily.
Tio Tio
(Shibuya - Spanish). 5458-4188
This cute and casual tapas bar is popular with the after-work crowd in Shibuya. Start with a glass of fino sherry or a copa de cava for Y500 and ask the staff to shave a few slices off the joint of Jamon Serrano proudly displayed on the counter. Wines by the glass change daily. A few seats are available around the bar, but the front is standing room only.
Shibuya-ku, Sakuragaokacho 16-7, Suzuki Bldg 1F. Open 5:30pm-2:30am. Closed Sundays.
(Ebisu - Spanish). 3712-7277
It's an inspired idea - matching the distinctive flavors of Spanish tapas with bold, assertive styles of craft sake. The tapas dishes here are perhaps a bit more refined than average, ranging from hams and other charcuterie to Galician-style octopus and nicely pickled herring. The sake tends toward the fresh, lively flavors of unpasteurized and unfiltered brews, many of them from lesser-known small breweries. Budget around Y7000 for food and drink; prix-fixe menus are priced Y3500-8000.
Meguro-ku, Mita 2-9-5. Open 6:30-11pm. Closed Mondays.
Bodega Santa Rita
(Roppongi - Spanish). 5413-3101
This rustic, stucco-walled restaurant features skewered pork delicacies and other regional specialties from the south of Spain along with custom-imported Spanish wines. Under the same management as the ever-reliable Miyakawa wine-bar/restaurant in Azabu-Juban. Budget Y6000-7000 for dinner.
Minato-ku, Akasaka 9-7-4, Tokyo Midtown Garden Terrace 1F. Open 11am-10:30pm (LO). Closed Mondays.
(Azabu-Juban - Spanish). 3403-2626
A tiny counter bar (plus a few tables) with friendly service and good food. The tapas-style menu includes various Spanish hams, an excellent paella, and a very rich and luscious oxtail stew. You'll also find some pleasantly affordable Spanish wines to go with the food.
Minato-ku, Azabu-Juban 1-5-4. Open 5-11pm. Closed weekends.
(Azabu-Juban - Spanish). 5730-0240
This pristine restaurant in Azabu-Juban specializes in contemporary Spanish cuisine with a respectful nod to modern French gastronomy. Chef Seichi Honda spent nine years in France and Spain before returning to Japan to work at Ryugin and Sant Pau.
This pristine restaurant in Azabu-Juban specializes in contemporary Spanish cuisine with a respectful nod to modern French gastronomy. Chef Seichi Honda spent nine years in France and Spain before returning to Japan to work at Ryugin and Sant Pau.
Artistically presented appetizers - ethereal zucchini ravioli veiled in paper-thin slices of pancetta, sprinkled with pickled basil seeds; perfectly cooked squid stuffed with minced shiitake and eringi mushrooms, atop a pool of cabbage sauce - aptly display the chef's verve and creativity.
The same lightness of touch is not immediately evident in the mains, however. A neat rectangle of tender pork tongue and pig's cheek, dusted in herbed breadcrumbs and grilled, was tasty but persistently salty. (This may be just a matter of growing pains - the restaurant opened in April 2011.)
Prix-fixe meals are Y4,800 at lunchtime and Y11,000 at dinnertime (expect a 10% service charge). The cellar stocks over 120 kinds of Spanish wine, with a number of bottles priced comfortably between Y4,000-7,000.

(Akasaka - Spanish). 5572-7303
Budget pinchos snacks, starting at Y220 (Y200 at lunchtime) are the draw at this lively Spanish cafe-bar, along with reasonably priced drinks. And they're open from 8am if you're in the mood for a quick Spanish-style breakfast.
Minato-ku, Akasaka 3-2-6. Open 8am-2pm, 5-10:30pm (LO) daily.
Spain Club Ala
(Akasaka - Spanish). 3586-6011
Tasty tapas and main dishes and reasonable Spanish wines from the popular Spanish chain.
Minato-ku, Akasaka 3-7-17. Open 11:30am-2:30, 5:30pm-2am (LO). Closed Sundays.
(Akasaka - Spanish). 5114-8500
Despite the casual setting - diner-style tables, a big counter and an open kitchen behind it - the menu offers a serious exploration of modern Catalan Spanish cuisine, with dishes like codfish fritters, Iberico pork terrine with figs, stewed oxtail (Y2200), and several traditional rice dishes. Wines are fairly reasonable; budget around Y7000 for food and drink at dinnertime.
Minato-ku, Akasaka 5-3-1, Akasaka Biz Tower 1F. Open 11am-10pm (LO) daily.
Fermintxo Boca
(Roppongi 1-chome - Spanish). 6426-5760
Alluring Basque-style bocadillo baguette sandwiches are served at lunchtime here, and the namesake Fermintxo Boca sandwich (grilled Iberico pork loin, mozzarella and pimento) is especially recommended, as is the Iberico-pork sausage variety.

(Marunouchi - Spanish). 5224-6161
Muy's huge, dramatically lit bar is very impressive, stretching half a city block along the front of the Tokyo Building. The menu includes a big selection of tapas (with numerous Spanish hams), grilled meats and fish, lots of rice dishes, and fideua - Catalan paella made with pasta instead of rice. Budget around Y4-5000 for food at dinnertime. Prix-fixe lunches from Y1400 (Y2500 weekends); wines from Y3700. (Thu/Fri nights to 2:30am)
Chiyoda-ku, Marunouchi 2-7-3, Tokyo Bldg Tokia 2F. Open 11am-2, 5:30-11pm daily.
Sant Pau
(Nihonbashi - Spanish). 3517-5700
Serious Catalan cuisine in this fancy Tokyo branch of Chef Carme Ruscalleda's famous Barcelona restaurant. The tasting menu is Y21,000, and main dishes run around Y7000 each. (The lunchtime "quick menu" is Y8000.) There's a more informal wine bar downstairs, with some 350 varieties of mostly Spanish wines and a light tapas menu. (Wine bar open to 1am; on Sundays only the wine bar is open.)
Chuo-ku, Nihonbashi 1-6-1, Coredo Nihonbashi Annex 1/2F. Open noon-1:30, 6-9pm (LO) daily.
Bikini Picar
(Mitsukoshimae - Spanish). 6202-3600

Chuo-ku, Nihonbashi Muromachi 2-2-1, Coredo Muromachi 2F. Open 11am-10pm (LO) daily.
La Taperia
(Yotsuya 3-chome - Spanish). 3353-8003
Excellent Spanish cooking, including a good variety of tapas dishes; the spicy lamb kebabs are especially recommended. Service is friendly, and the decor is casual and cheerful, with bright yellow tablecloths, bullfighting posters and Spanish music adding to the atmosphere.
Shinjuku-ku, Yotsuya 3-3, Stream Yotsuya B1F. (from Yotsuya 3-chome walk towards Yotsuya sta, take the second left; the shop is on the right a few doors in) Open 5:30-10:30pm (LO). Closed Sundays.
(Yotsuya 3-chome - Spanish). 3225-6226
"Jamon y vino" is the simple yet enticing concept at this small tapas bar, with Spanish wines starting at around Y3800 per bottle. Typical dishes include Iberico chorizo sausages, Catalan-style pizzas, and grilled meats and seafood on skewers. The food is great, but the pace of delivery can be somewhat leisurely. Budget around Y4000 for food and drink.
Shinjuku-ku, Arakicho 1, Nakabayashi Bldg 1F. Open 6pm-1:30am (LO). Closed Sundays.
La Boqueria
(Yotsuya 3-chome - Spanish). 5366-0505
The main draw at La Boqueria is the "wine buffet," an open bar with over a dozen different wines, not top-end but still very drinkable, priced at Y1980 for two hours. The dining room is attractively furnished with unexpectedly large tables and comfortable seating, apparently left over from the upscale Italian restaurant that used to occupy this space. The food is rather hit-or-miss - it's best to stick to very simple dishes like the assorted meat and cheese plates and the quesadillas.
Shinjuku-ku, Yotsuya 2-11, Assist Bldg 2F. Open 11:30am-10pm (LO) daily.
El Chiringuito
(Ichigaya - Spanish). 5579-2858
The concept behind El Chiringuito is to recreate the menu and atmosphere of a casual Andalusian beachside restaurant. Spanish wines start at around Y500 per glass, and most of the food is simple and rustic, with quite an assortment of sardine dishes. Seating may be a bit cramped if want to spend a whole evening here, but it's fine for a quick drink and snack on the way to or from Ichigaya station, which is one minute away.
Shinjuku-ku, Ichigaya Hachimancho 12-1. Open 5-11:30pm (LO). Closed Sundays.
La Cuchara
(Kagurazaka - Spanish). 5228-5058
Convivial bonhomie beams from the second-story window of this lively tapas bar in Kagurazaka. Inside, ceramic plates painted in sunny Andalucian colors hang above the brick-lined counter. Bottles of wine, conveniently marked with prices and descriptions, line the tall wooden shelves at the far end of the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the space seem bigger than it is - the bar seats a scant twenty-four - and create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and open. [See
Shinjuku-ku, Kagurazaka 4-3, Omiya Bldg 2F. Open 5:30pm-1:30am (LO). Closed Mondays.
El Pulpo
(Kagurazaka - Spanish). 3269-6088
Tapas bars and restaurants are over Tokyo, but El Pulpo may be the only place that bills itself as a "marisqueria" - a Spanish restaurant specializing in seafood. The food here is fantastic, using fresh seafood that's delivered directly from Odawara in Kanagawa Prefecture. [See
Shinjuku-ku, Kagurazaka 4-3, Miyazaki Bldg 1F. Open 6pm-2am. Closed Sundays.
El Camino
(Iidabashi - Spanish). 3266-0088
A tapas bar with Spanish wines.

(Ueno - Spanish). 5826-5753
Spanish food and reasonably priced French and Spanish wines, with convenient late-night hours. Budget around Y3000 for food and drink at dinnertime. (From the same management as the Aux Amis des Vins chain of French wine bars.)
Taito-ku, Ueno 7-1-1, Atre 1F. Open 11am-4:30am daily.

(Tsukishima - Spanish). 3533-5381
Good tapas and Spanish wines; budget around Y5000 for food and drink at dinnertime.
Chuo-ku, Tsukishima 1-14-7. Open noon-2:30, 5:30-10pm (LO) daily.

Spanish cooking from a long-running kitchen. Budget around Y8000 for dinner with drinks.
Setagaya-ku, Okusawa 5-28-15. Open 5-10pm (LO). Closed Tuesdays.
Manuel Churrascaria
(Takanawadai - Portuguese). 3443-5002
Manuel Churrascaria serves northern Portugal-style charcoal-grilled dishes - pork, chicken and seafood - along with other traditional Portuguese cuisine. The restaurant itself is very cozy, seating around 20 persons, and it really creates the feeling of dining somewhere in the back streets of a Portuguese town. [See
Minato-ku, Takanawa 2-3-22-101. Open noon-2:30, 6-10:30pm (LO). Closed Mondays.
Manuel Casa de Fado
(Yotsuya - Portuguese). 5276-2432
This second branch of Tokyo's Portuguese pioneer restaurant is far more upscale than the Shibuya original, with spacious, comfortable dining rooms (smoking and non) a bigger, more serious menu, and a sommelier. Recommendations include the rabbit stewed in red wine and the potato and dried cod croquettes. The wine list includes both "traditional" and "international" Portuguese wines, depending on your tastes (we prefer the latter). Budget Y5,000-8,000 for dinner, depending on your choice of drinks. There's live folk music some nights - call to check.

A new medication for treating addiction, Suboxone safely and effectively relieves withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone Treatment is appropriate for people dealing with addiction to:
Suboxone Treatment Overview
Suboxone contains a combination of Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication that produces less euphoric effects than other opioids such as codeine, morphine, and heroin and therefore may be easier to stop taking. Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids and when administered under the tongue does not affect the actions of buprenorphine.
Suboxone is available as 2mg/0.5mg buprenorphine/naloxone tablet, 8mg/2mg buprenorphine/naloxone tablet, and thin-film strips placed under the tongue for easier dissolving.
more common side effects with Suboxone is drowsiness and dizziness but
many people have no or minor side effects when taking this medication.
Treatment Options
Aiken Treatment Specialists will be admitting new patients on Suboxone under the OTP regulations which will have the same requirements as patients on Methadone or under the DATA 2000 program in which patients will only have to attend the facility once a month to see the Medical Director to receive their prescription for Suboxone. The DATA 2000 program patient will also receive unlimited counseling and group counseling classes at no additional charge.
SuboxoneThe Data 2000 Program: $237.00/mo (payment based on prescription given)

Calif. health exchange enrolls fraction of target
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California's health insurance exchange led the nation in enrollments during its inaugural month of operation, but the 35,000 tentative sign-ups announced Wednesday represented just a fraction of the eventual goal.
The first enrollment numbers to be released under the federal health overhaul also raised as many questions as they answered.
Covered California, the agency steering the health overhaul in the state, aims to sign-up as many as 2.2 million people by the end of next year, either in private insurance coverage or Medicaid services for the needy. For those seeking coverage on the open market, the agency will need to quickly escalate enrollments to hit that target.
The financial success of the health overhaul relies on enrolling millions of healthy, young people across the country. The figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not disclose demographic details showing who was signing on, but Covered California officials said those seeking coverage in the state during the first month of open enrollment were generally older and had previously been denied coverage.
Meanwhile, as many as 1 million Californians who buy individual policies are having their coverage discontinued despite President Barack Obama's promise that it wouldn't happen.
If healthy people avoid buying insurance on the exchanges, it will undermine insurers' business models and ultimately force premiums higher.
If those signing up trend to the elderly and sickly "your insurance is going to cost more and that will discourage those younger people from coming in," warned Lisa Folberg, a vice president with the California Medical Association. "There's still a lot of enrollment and outreach work that needs to be done."
Wednesday's Health and Human Services report provided the first glimpse into enrollment operations at Covered California, which faces a monumental task to reach millions of people without insurance and sway them to sign up under the federal Affordable Care Act.
The report, covering the start of open enrollment on Oct. 1 through Nov. 2, also showed that about 80,000 lower-income people would be eligible for expanded Medicaid coverage under another prong of the overhaul.
California counts nearly 7 million people without health coverage.
Agency officials described the first enrollment figures as encouraging, but Republican state Assemblyman Dan Logue, who represents a district north of Sacramento, predicted a troubled start.
"Covered California is giving you the best-case scenario, but where's it going to be 12 months from now?" he said. "I'm pretty sure it's going to be unsustainable."
The 35,000 figure was defined in the federal report as the number of people who have "selected" a plan through the insurance exchange. According to HHS, that means the number of people who have chosen a specific insurance plan, whether or not they have actually followed through and begun paying the premium for it.
Covered California said sign-ups have accelerated since then, to about 2,400 people a day so far this month.
The figures "show momentum and very high consumer interest," Peter Lee, the exchange's executive director, said in a statement.
Younger and healthier people who use fewer services are needed by insurance companies to balance the cost of treating those who are sicker and more expensive to cover.
In addition to the state-by-state numbers, the Health and Human Services report also provided the overall figure for national enrollment under President Barack Obama's national health reforms.
It said that fewer than 27,000 people managed to enroll for health insurance last month in the 36 states relying on the problem-filled federal website. States running their own websites, including California, did better than the federal government, together reporting more than 79,000 sign-ups.

The SEC or Big East didn't need to send teams like Vanderbilt or West Virginia to Northeast Ohio last night in order to create that big-time basketball atmosphere.
The Cleveland State Vikings and Kent State Golden Flashes took care of that by themselves. Besides, they beat those two teams already anyways.
As a result of those early signature wins, Cleveland State came in ranked 26th in the AP Poll while the votes Kent State received had them slotted at 37th. Both collectively recognized as two of the nation's top-40 college basketball teams, both hailing from Northeast Ohio.
6,327 basketball fans filed in as a result last night. The largest crowd for a non-conference game at Kent State in forty years.
The players may have been a little too hyped up about all that though, on both sides. There was certainly a collection of spectacular plays scattered throughout the game, but it did lack some flow offensively. Trevon Harmon, after hitting the game winner against St. Bonaventure, went 0-9 from the field. Kent State Guard Mike Porrini had only 2 points in 36 minutes. There were a total of 42 turnovers in the game, and 38 fouls. Some of that had to do with defense, the rest of it with simply wanting to do well so badly.
I couldn't have appreciated the effort from both sides more though, even if both coaches have them running windsprints all the way through Thanksgiving. They gym was electric at the opening tip, and those players in that game created that environment. Cleveland State did more to take advantage of it though, and came out on fire. Jeremy Montgomery hit two three's early to give CSU a 12-2 lead they'd never look back from. He finished with a team high 13.
In an effort to possibly find out who he feels he can trust the most on a bench that literally appears to be at least 10 guys deep for CSU, Gary Waters substituted a whole new five in together at around the 14 minute mark. That second group, led by Charles Lee (7 pts 3 ast), Anton Grady (4 pts, 6 reb), and Sebastian Douglas (4 pts, 3 reb), helped maintain the Vikings lead until Waters subbed all five of his starters back in together about 7 minutes later. At the break Cleveland State led 30-21.
Both teams came out with an increased intensity in the second half, and Kent State fought all the way to the end despite the loss. The game wasn't really as close as the final four point margin would indicate, but that should take nothing away from the team that KSU has this season. Justin Greene had 13 for Kent, and Chris Evans came off the bench to score 14. Even though they didn't have their best games, guys like Carlton Guyton (8 pts), Randall Holt (7 pts), and Porrini can all play too.
Cleveland State is just a real good team this year. Even on an off-night, they can beat an AP Top-40 team on the road. That should be more the takeaway here, for both sides. Sure the game was sloppy at times, and for some reason no television stations felt it worthy to broadcast, but both of these teams are good. Both teams are NCAA Tournament teams. Cleveland State is just better.
The AP voters will reward CSU for beating the quality opponent that Kent State is at their place last night too. I expect them to be ranked in the Top-25 for sure next week. If CSU was as high as No. 22 I wouldn't be surprised. Kent State shouldn't fall too far off the radar either with the loss. The bigger test will be to see what these two teams will do from here.
How good the young players that Gary Waters has infused this group led by D'Aundray Brown (11 pts, 3 reb, 1 ridiculous blocked shot) with can't be understated either. The numbers may not necessarily jump off the page at you, but Charles Lee is a very solid PG who knows how to play the position. Anton Grady will develop into a star one day too under Waters' tutelage. It should be a fun ride this season with this CSU group as a result.
Next up for Cleveland State (4-0) is The Ticket City Legends Classic at Kingston Rhode Island where they open with Boston University on Friday. Kent State (2-1) plays host to Louisiana Lafayette next Monday.

According to the GCSO, DPS troopers tried to stop two pickup trucks around 6 p.m. Tuesday after one was suspected of committing a traffic violation.
Both pickups tried to evade the DPS troopers. One came to a stop at Ward Street and San Patricio Street in Goliad and the other stopped at Farm-to-Market Road 239 and U.S. Highway 59.
Eight of the suspected illegal immigrants were detained Tuesday night, while the other nine were apprehended Wednesday. One of those detained was a 6-year-old girl, who was reunited with her mother in Houston. The remaining 16 apprehended were taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

You're at: Home > Shop > Shop by Brand > The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey > Balin the Dwarf
When Balin the Dwarf spoke in the great halls of Erebor, the wise would listen. The council of Fundin's eldest son was much revered among the noble Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and beyond, for he was clear-sighted, discerning and erudite. Even as a young Dwarf, Balin the Dwarf's artful word-craft was equal to the jewellery of the finest Dwarven smith. A lord in his own right, Balin the Dwarf was cousin to the King Under the Mountain and friend to Prince Thorin Oakenshield in the days of the Dwarf realm's grandeur.
But that was before the coming of Smaug. In a single devastating assault, Erebor was consumed by fire and death when the Dragon fell upon them. The heirs of Durin fled and with them Balin the Dwarf and his brother Dwalin the Dwarf. Through the long years in exile, Balin the Dwarf's sage council was depended upon by Thorin Oakenshield, surviving heir to the lost throne and in whom the hope of a displaced people now resided. When Thorin Oakenshield begins making plans to reclaim their home, Balin the Dwarf is with him, resolute, loyal and solicitous, there to provide a thoughtful word in the ear and a sword at his side.
While the old Dwarf is long in beard, his gnarled hands have lost little of their strength over the years and his eyes are still as keen as a hawk's. Upon his hip he wears a wickedly pointed Dwarven mace. Wrought in the smithies of Erebor lost, its edges are as sharp as any sword and its copper-hued faces blaze like fire in the sun.
Weta continues the legacy of producing finely crafted, highly detailed 1/6 scale collectible polystone statues from Middle-earth. The essence of each character expertly captured in every piece.
Balin the dwarf was sculpted by Lindsey Crummett.
It takes approximately 400-500 hours to design, sculpt, model-make, mould and paint the prototype for each new character.
Sculpted and created by the same artists and craftspeople who work on our movies, Balin the Dwarf is the fourth sculpture in our range of 1/6 scale characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
The following pieces are available in Weta's range of 1/6 scale statues from The Hobbit:

"Welcome, Master Baggins, to the Company of Thorin Oakenshield!"
-Balin to Bilbo as he welcomes him to the traveling company
At Comic-Con 2012 we saw six of the statues that will be released in Weta's range of statues for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. One of the six statues at Comic-Con was of the character Balin who was a member of the traveling party and would later retake Moria (though many people's introduction is of him in his tomb). Balin is the fourth statue released in this line. His brother, Dwalin, is the fifth (review to come) and he makes another fantastic addition to the growing line of sculptures associated with this great movie.
Balin was one of the many dwarves of the Lonely Mountain driven into exile by the dragon Smaug in the year 2770 of the Third Age. Balin would actually make two trips to try and retake the Erebor. One of a venture with Thrain (who was captured), and the second with Thorin Oakenshield in his successful quest to reclaim his legacy. After years of success once Erebor was reclaimed Balin cast his eyes on an even-greater prize — Khazad-dûm. He would be initially successful, but Balin's new realm lasted a mere five years. The tragic fate of Balin and his kin remained a mystery until the Fellowship stumbled upon his tomb during their journey through Moria.
The graphics on the box with Balin are similar to those that we saw on the box of Thorin. The front of the box features great design work down the side. It even looks very Dwarvish, though the design varies to the one used on Thorin or the Dwalin box. Also on the front you have a great shot of Balin, graphic work for the title of the movie, and of course the Weta logo. The sides present a couple of different looks with one showing great shots of Balin from different angles while the other side show some of the other products that will be coming out for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey like the Dwalin statue, Thorin's Map, and the Key to Erebor. The back of the box contains a great story on Balin as well as information regarding details of the character and statue. The styrofoam packaging on the inside is typical of what we've come used to getting with these statues.
Lindsey Crummett is a new name to me and I would imagine will be to most of you who have been collecting statues based on the characters of Middle-earth. However, after adding Balin to my collection I have to say I am eager to see what else Ms. Crummett has to show us. The spot-on likeness to Ken Stott's portrayal of Balin is exceptional! The likeness is scary in a good way that it really feels as if he's been ripped off the big screen and placed on a shelf. While the sculpt and likeness are excellent, Ms. Crummett did not miss a beat ensuring the rest of the statue was equally good. The embroidery work on his outfit is also very well done and you see the great Dwarvish design of his outfit, which looked beautiful on screen. The execution of Balin's mace is also superb on this statue. The actual prop is finely detailed with Dwarvish designs. I imagine these must be difficult to transfer to a much smaller scale. Yet, having seen the larger prop replica and compared it to the statue, the quality of reproduction is fabulous. Even though we're now five pieces into this line I'm still loving the Thror/Thorin's map on the base. So glad that Weta decided to go with this design.
The paintwork on Balin is strong and I believe the best in this line so far (not that I think any of them have had issues). The quality of the paint job brings out the clean lines and the detailed work on the statue. The skin tones are exceptional with the proper use of tones making it look very much like real skin. The job done on Balin's outfit is equally as good. The paintwork is what helps this look like it was screen used, with the proper coloring matching the outfit worn by Ken Stott. Even his boots show wear through the the paintwork. They look like they're dirty. As with Orcrist, Balin's mace came out looking fantastic. You get a great bronze look to the weapon which it had on screen and it looks like its been used in the real world. Critically, the paint enhances the mace's sculpted details rather than consuming them.
Balin retails for $230 — a fair price considering the exceptional quality of this statue. This is some of Weta's best work all around on any single statue and if you enjoyed The Hobbit and the designs of the movie you will want to add to your collection. Even with this statue being an open edition I wouldn't wait too long to get it, as you never know when the open period could be closed. If Balin and the other four statues are any indication of how this line is going, we're in for a real treat with the remainder. Hide.

Everything Louder Than Everything Else
theyre heavy, trendy and trackstariffic for starters.

because opinions differ.
most (99% of) people have them for looks. i've never seen one on a track before. that's why they get hated on.
There are lots of wheels that people don't use on tracks....would a set of Mavic discs make more sense while riding down a city street just because you can see them on tracks? And people have lots of things on their bikes for looks and yet people don't pick on those things.
Everything Louder Than Everything Else
Because they are utterly pointless on the street. They shave hundredths of seconds off your lap time on the track, but you will never notice any improvement when using them on the street. Aerospokes will give you a rougher and nosier ride, slower acceleration, and increased stopping difference. But of course, anyone who uses them on the street hasn't ridden a bike long enough to understand such things.
Why do people ride aerospokes on the street? For looks, and nothing else. I have a set of old Specialized carbon tri-spokes on my century bike (an old Marin triatholon bike). My century route has no stops or pauses along it's entire distance, and I ride for time, so they aren't a bad choice. No acceleration, no braking, just steady speed over a very long distance. In such a situation they are a good choice. The rear tri spoke is threaded on both sides, so it can be used with a fixed cog or a freewheel, so I could easily use them on my fixie, but I'm not "cool" enough to bother.
I'll admit they are on the heavy side. I mounted one the other day and was shocked at how heavy the front end of my bike is. If you like the look of it who cares what other people think.

Let Jesus be your guidance not the conscience or the world
Surly Disc Check "Monster Trucker" /Surly Crosscheck /Mercier Kilo WT "AeroPhatty"
if you accidentally hit a pothole at a moderate speed they'll pretty much explode.
ugly as sin, but they'd make a decent boat anchor.
Life in North America and pretty much all of the 1st and 2nd world, is fashion over function.............unless your living "off the grid" ..
Whether you like to believe it or not
who cares ride them if you want to.
but they are heavy and when they fail holy **** bad news but not as bad as Spinergy wheels
No hate here. I think they look cool, but I'm a child of the Skyway-heavy 1980s BMX scene. For me, that's all it is though: they *look* cool. They don't do anything for me that a regular wheel doesn't already do.
Here is a brief history of the Aerospoke, as related by a 10 year veteran messenger to me:
-long ago, they were actually somewhat of a 'legit' race wheek. This was in a time when people didn't really know dick about what was actually aero.
-they fell out of favor for nearly everyone as they were a) heavy b) flexible and c) untrueable.
-eventually, messengers noticed they were being blown out on sales for so cheap (think $25 a wheel used, $80 new) that it made sense to ride them because once they were toast from hard riding, you wouldn't have much invested in them and could get another anyway.
-people emulate the messenger look, Aerospoke fashion catches on with the hip.
-inevitable Aerospoke backlash.
Thanks for the schooling Andre, and it makes sense. What about HED trispokes?
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving - Albert Einstein
It used to be easier to find Tri Spokes at a deal from what I understand, now the market is more inflated with a lot of people buyin them on the street. Me, I got a deal on one for $200, figured it was too good to pass up. I ride it on the street though not daily by any means and can see easily how it's less than practical - the way it picks up cross winds is not that safe at all in traffic, so it's best to keep them at home on windy days. I'll admit it's for looks on the street, but I also race it on the track as it's my only tubular wheel and is noticeably faster and better handling in a race when I have the tire pumped up to 160psi (vs. 120 for clinchers).
Also, apparently Tri Spokes can be trued, but I'm gonna call HED and ask myself.
Edit: just called HED. Rear Tri Spokes CAN be trued to an extent. Front HEDs no, but Specialized Tri Spokes were designed to be interchangeable front/rear so there'd be a possibility for them. BFSSFG t will now explode in 3, 2, 1...

W-B rabbi, group are safe in Israel
Rabbi Larry Kaplan of Wilkes-Barre's Temple Israel is in Israel with several local clergy and members of churches and synagogues from the Wyoming Valley. He shared his thoughts on the group's trip and the recent violence in the country.
The group left Newark, N.J., on Nov. 10 for a flight to Tel Aviv and the start of their trip. Before visiting Israel, they toured an elementary school in a poor neighborhood of the northern city of Haifa and dropped off school supplies and toys for the children.
From there, they visited the ancient ruins and Galilee and donated knitted scarves, hats and blankets to a volunteer thrift store organization, before heading to Jerusalem, where they had a brush with the region's conflict. The group planned to visit Christian sites around Jerusalem today, but learned that tour buses would not be going to that area of the city after reports of stone throwing, so they decided to visit tourist attractions in the desert.
Rabbi Kaplan said he talked to a Christian Arab tour guide during his visit about the fighting, the rockets launched from Gaza and the situation Israel finds itself in.
"The world seems to understand this time that Israel has only been defending itself. But if the reward for giving up land won in a defensive war is to be bombed daily by those to whom you returned land, how will peace ever be achieved?" he said.
"We've had an amazing trip so far, and still have a few days left. May they be filled only with the sounds of peace."

The poor soul had their wifi on at the same time. Another person with a sore head didn't know to disable it and reboot.
Hope this helps,
I currently live in a community scholarship house on my college's campus, and the Wi-fi is less than satisfactory when it comes to certain things, like playing online games and downloading files. My ethernet works every now and then, but for the most part it never does work. The part about that that doesn't really make sense is the fact that when I plug the ethernet into my Xbox 360, it works fine, and when my roommate uses his ethernet cable, he gets internet just fine. I even tried using his ethernet cable in place of mine, and it still doesn't work. Does anybody know what the problem may be?

It's a busy day in the MTV Newsroom today. At the moment, Tim Kash is sitting down for a chat with Alicia Keys (she says her new album The Element of Freedom will be a big, synthesizer-heavy departure from her past work). But there's another interview happening just around the corner: "Gossip Girl" and "Mercy" star Michelle Trachtenberg is here to talk about straddling two hit TV shows.
Trachtenberg is probably best known for playing Dawn on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a show created and produced by Joss Whedon. In the past few months, it seems as though we've had a regular rotation of alums from Whedon shows stop by to hang out and chat about their new projects. They are all members of a tightly-wound, closely-followed community known as the "Whedonverse," which represents the various projects that Whedon has worked on in his two-decade career.
For example, just a few weeks ago we were visited by Eliza Dushku, who is the star of Whedon's current show "Dollhouse." She also got her biggest break in Hollywood when she picked up a recurring role in the third season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She talked a lot about "Dollhouse" but also about "WET," the video game she recently lent her voice to.
Before that, we were visited by David Boreanaz, who stopped by to talk about his hit show "Bones" but is best known as the heroic vampire with a soul from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." Boreanaz talked about the joys of working with Cyndi Lauper and the current vampire trend that he was way head of the curve on.
Earlier in the summer, "Castle" star Nathan Fillion sat down with Multiplayer editor Russ Frushtick to play a little "Halo 3: ODST" (he provided voices for both that game and for "Halo 3"). But what was Fillion's original claim to fame? He was Captain Malcolm Reynolds on the short-lived but much-loved Whedon sci-fi western "Firefly" (as well as the film "Serenity").
So to any members of the Whedonverse who want to sit down for a talk with MTV News — including Alyson Hannigan (Willow from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Neil Patrick Harris (the titular character from "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Amy Acker (Fred from "Angel"), Adam Baldwin (Jayne from "Firefly") or Alexis Denisof (Wesley from "Buffy" and "Angel") — just drop us a line and we'll carve out some time for you at the center of the Whedonverse.

His father (Erik Thomson) is a military man, cheerfully gruff but no rigid taskmaster. His very pregnant mother (Toni Collette), though immobilized by her globe-shaped belly, remains the doting queen of the household. And his brother Charlie (Luke Ford) is autistic.

Russell Books first started in Montreal in 1961. It began as a small 300 square foot, one aisle, used bookstore and gradually grew into the biggest used, antiquarian and remainder bookstore in Montreal. In 1991 Reg Russell, founder of Russell Books, helped open a Victoria branch with his daughter Diana and her husband Ron DePol at 734 Fort Street, where it is today. Ron and Diana are now the owners of Russell Books Ltd. while their daughter Andrea, together with her husband Jordan, manage the company. In 2005 Diana's son Brandon and his wife Charlene helped start up yet another store, Books on View - a division of Russell Books, at 702 View Street, (under the Sayward Bulding at the corner of Douglas Street). And their son Chad handles all the Logistics for the two stores and the huge stockpile of books at the DePol Home!..

Just Because... is a registered charity aiming to raise funds to promote awareness, early detection, treatment and after-care of breast cancer for women in Egypt.
If you can't see the video above you will need to install Adobe© Flash Player 8 or above.
We are currently updating our website so some of the content may be out of date. Please join us on Facebook to get the most up-to-date information about the charity and its work.
The story behind Just Because started when the original Trustees got together to raise funds to pay for breast cancer treatment for dance friend and mentor, Sara Farouk, who lives in Cairo. Bellydancers all over the UK rose to the challenge, many of whom know Sara, and raised far more than the intial cost of her treatment. A decision was made to donate the excess funds to a breast cancer charity in Egypt as there was little provision for breast cancer screening for women there. All screening and treatment is private and breast cancer treatment is expensive. Having so many bellydancers involved we felt that we should continue raising funds and actually make a difference to the lives of all women in Egypt, the home of bellydance.
Just Because aims to help our partner organisation in Egypt Breast Cancer Foundation of Egypt (BCFE) to promote awareness, early detection, treatment and after-care of breast cancer for those women in Egypt who are unable to fund their own treatment. Sara is now patron of Just Because and remains in close contact with the charity's activities. Living in Cairo, she is a vital link to BCFE and acts on the charity's behalf as local liaison.
As fellow dancers, students, teachers, traders and practitioners of this incredible dance you can help. There are many ways to raise funds - organise a halfa (party), a workshop, a film night, a showcase evening, make a personal donation or get friends and colleagues involved by highlighting the Just Because charity. As well as receiving your donations we would love to hear about your fund raising stories and see photos, some of which are included in our gallery.
We are delighted to announce that you can now make an online donation through our Just Because Just Giving Page which can be accessed here
Alternatively, you can send a cheque made payable to Just Because... to:

Please pass on this information to anyone you think could help us help the women of Egypt. Together we can really make a difference.

Survivor: Redemption Island — Russell Done With Survivor
March 10, 2011 04:07 PM by Ryan Haidet
Raw emotions emerged from villain Russell Hantz as he became the second official elimination from Survivor: Redemption Island. In a conference call with reporters today, Russell explains why he cried so hard, he talks about Ralph's dumb strategies, discusses his Survivor legacy and reveals why he shaved his armpits before the game began. Russell also addresses the accusations that he spoiled previous seasons of Survivor by questioning the credibility of the person who brought the allegations to light. To top it all off, he also answers my question on whether he'd ever consider teaming up with Boston Rob for the Amazing Race. Read on for all that and much more!
Question: What was going through your head after you lost the Redemption Island duel?
Russell Hantz: I'm saying this a lot, but this is the only thing I can really equal it to. You get these big 350 pound linebackers crying because they just lost the Super Bowl. You put everything into this. Your heart. Your soul. Your mind. It is so draining. It's so emotional — even for me. I watched it by myself. My kids turned to my wife and said, "I never seen daddy cry before." They're 11. Because I don't do that. Then I felt like I let everybody down. I feel like I let my fans down. I feel like I let my friends down. I felt like I let Jeff, Mark Burnett, the whole cast, the camera crew, the sound people. I got to be family out there with these guys. Jeff looked at me once I got voted off before the cameras were rolling and they were setting up the talk. He looks at me and he puts his head down and he puts his hand up and he says, "Give me a second." When he did that, I seen in his eyes, I felt like he was upset. … When I feel like I let him down, it hurt my feelings. That's what started it. … Just overwhelming. I mean, it's hard for me to talk about it right now.
Question: Do you think Ralph is too big for britches or did he outplay you?
Russell Hantz: Ralph found an Idol under a rock. I told him to get rocks to make a fire because you put the rocks under the fire, it keeps the rocks hotter. He was looking for rocks. Not an Idol. If it was a snake, it would have bit him. He wasn't looking for an Idol. There's no such thing as somebody that dumb can outplay me. Like something is wrong upstairs with the dude. Look what he did when it was time for me to finally go home. He was actually about to take that Idol out and show it. That would have been priceless. He was taking it out and the only reason he didn't is because Sarita is like, "Don't. Don't do it. Don't do it." He has the Idol and he's about to show the entire team.
Question: You said after your elimination that you were done with Survivor because you have nothing more to prove. But you haven't won.
Russell Hantz: I'm done with Survivor. I have nothing to prove because I am happy with what I've done. In a year and a half, I've played three times and I went to the end twice. That's a hell of an accomplishment. I did my best. Even though I didn't win because of bitter jury or however you want to say it, I tried my best. I played my best. I have things going on right now. Bigger and better things are about to happen with me. I can't really talk about it, but this won't be the last time you see me on TV.
Question: After Heroes Vs. Villains you said you weren't sure if you would play the game again. Why did you decide to return for season 22?
Russell Hantz: At first I didn't want to play. And then it's the whole Rob thing. Him being a coward and not wanting to shake my hand. You know what, if he ends up doing well in the game, I'll shake his hand at the end of the day because I'm not a punk. I'm not a coward like he is. Why didn't you want to shake my hand? You don't want to give me credit? I would give him all the credit in the world if he does well in this game. I give him credit right now. If he gets voted out next week, he's doing a great job.
It's funny it was called Redemption Island because I didn't know that. I wanted to redeem myself. Watching myself on TV sometimes is embarrassing. If you watched me this time, people are saying, "You kind of played the same." Well, really? Did you see me say one thing negative about my tribemates Krista and Stephanie? Did I say anything about my dumbass girl alliance? No. I only praised them. I said how good of players they were. The only thing I talked bad about is the opposite tribe trying to get rid of us. So I did play different. I was trying to play different. I didn't tell Krista or Stephanie that I would take them to the top two. I told them, "We're going to go as far as we can go." I didn't make promises like I used to make promises. I tried to play different. Maybe that's my downfall. Maybe I need to lie to them. Julie asked me, "You going to take me to the top like you did Parvati?" when I was trying to get her to switch. You know what I told her? No. I said, "I can't promise you that. All I can promise you, is that if I'm in this game, you'll be in the top four." …
Question: What can you say about the accusations that you spoiled previous seasons of Survivor?
Russell Hantz: Man, I'm kind of getting sick of hearing about that, because it's a bunch of bull. The same person that said the accusations about me — and I don't even want to say his name because I don't want to give him any credit — is the same person that posed a picture of Snooki from Jersey Shore and me. And tried to sell that to TMZ. So that's the credible guy we're talking about.
Question: You said you can't really talk about what you're planning for the future, but is there any consideration of you and Boston Rob running the Amazing Race together?
Russell Hantz: The only thing I would do with Boston Rob is fight him in a cage. Hahaha. That's it. If he agreed on that, I'm going to tell him way ahead of time, "Hey partner, look. This is the deal here. This ain't no game. I'm not gonna take it easy on you. I'm gonna train like I'm about to fight Mike Tyson. So you better be ready!"
Question: We saw this nasty rash with your armpits. Why did you shave them before you started?
Russell Hantz: With me, I like to stay clean. You're out there for a long period of time. The less hair you have, the cleaner you can be. Obviously Ralph looks like an ape out there. So I shave everything before I go out there. To tell you the truth, when you're laying in bed at night and sleeping, you don't want to smell like armpit hair. It all got infected. They didn't show it, but even my alliance was cleaning it for me. That would have been good TV, but they didn't show that part.
Question: Which season of the three are you most proud of?
Russell Hantz: My first season was magical. … I'm proud of that season, but the funny thing is, this might be my best season. I've redeemed myself. Some things I said out there that wasn't aired. How I tried to play the game more honest. I didn't promise anybody anything. I did what I had to do.
Question: What do you want your Survivor legacy to be?
Russell Hantz: I care about the game a lot, and it shows. I want 20 years from now, when Survivor is considered one of the best reality shows that's ever been played, I want some to say, "Oh yeah, Russell. He was one of the best." I get it now. Maybe I can't say I'm the best because I haven't won the game. And you need to win the game to be the best, I guess. But I will be considered one of the best that ever played. And I will be considered the most passionate to ever play the game.

I find it funny how Russel critics the way the other survior players are playing the game. Why is his strategy is the only logical one. I have watched survior since the beginning and when he was on the show I can honestly say I was relieved every time he didn't win. Someone with that much self importance is very shallow. I will enjoy the show more this season now that he is gone. Game Over Russel,the tribe has spoken.

*World Premiere Montreal World Film Festival
*Official Selection International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam
The Kingdom of Survival explores modern skepticism in America, challenges the status quo and uncovers provocative links between survivalist philosophy, ecumenical spirituality, radical political theory, and outlaw culture. The audience is invited into a thoughtful conversation with the likes of Prof. Noam Chomsky, Dr. Mark Mirabello, Ramsey Kanaan, and the riveting final interview with beloved author, Joe Bageant. These unique thought leaders cast a rare shadow of doubt over our most blindly accepted American traditions.
By framing this journey in a cross-country travelogue, maverick writer and director M.A. Littler connects art, religion, academia, alternative media, utopianism, anarchism, globalized capitalism and radical fringe philosophy in an elegant American tapestry. The transformative visual execution of the cinematography acts as a lingering contextual reminder of the events that shaped the featured philosophies. By remaining observantly agnostic to the subjects, the film is able to honestly investigate the physical and psychological practices of diverse individuals in a conflict-ridden and confused post-modern world. In a time of brainwashing corporate and political propaganda, The Kingdom of Survival reunites us with the life-changing spirit of the outlaw highway.
"We have to go within, man. We have to go within and find something that brings joy to our souls." -Will "The Bull" Taylor
M.A. Littler
M.A. Littler is a maverick writer and filmmaker. Littler's films have been described as a strange cocktail of European auteur cinema, intellectualism and Rock 'n' Roll paired with an idiosyncratic sense of melancholy. Littler's films and writing merge the intellectual and the primitive and display an unhidden affinity for outsiders of all kinds. When asked about this, Littler says: "I'm interested in people who dance to their own beat, prototypes who fix their radio with a blow torch.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has still not set a start date for its planned Vancouver store at the corner of Northeast 143rd Avenue and Fourth Plain Boulevard, despite the "coming soon" sign that has sat there for years.
But a spokeswoman said the company still plans to move forward with the full-service Walmart store, intended to carry fresh groceries and general merchandise. The store is expected to create jobs for about 300 people, according to Rachel Wall, senior manager of community affairs for Wal-Mart, which operates three stores in Clark County.
Wall did not elaborate when asked for details.
"We do not have anything further to announce at this time," she said.
Meanwhile, other sites around the county are rumored to be up for consideration for stores by Walmart parent, Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The company has been linked to plans to redevelop at least two vacant Vancouver spaces into its smaller-store concept, the Walmart Neighborhood Market.
So far, no activity has occurred at either desolate location — a former Fred Meyer store now vacant at Fourth Plain Boulevard and Grand boulevards and a former WinCo Foods store in Vancouver Plaza off state Highway 500 and Thurston Way,
"I don't have anything to announce yet," said Donald DeSalvo, general partner of The Cafaro Northwest Partnership, owners of Vancouver Plaza.
DeSalvo said a year ago that he was talking with Wal-Mart and other retailers in an effort to bring a fresh lineup of tenants to the 21-year-old complex. The half-empty development lost its west-end anchor store, WinCo Foods, in 2008 when the Boise, Idaho-based grocery chain built a stand-alone location less than one mile away.
No permits awarded
Wal-Mart has not been awarded permits to build at either site, but the company's developer, PacLand, has applied to demolish the former Fred Meyer and build a 42,000-square-foot grocery store at Fourth Plain and Grand, which would be about half the size of the former Fred Meyer.
In addition to its plans for Clark County, Wal-Mart has requested a permit to start work on an $11.8 million store in Portland's Hayden Meadows area, just a short distance south of the Interstate 5 Bridge. Wal-Mart spokeswoman Wall said no construction start date has been scheduled for the full-service, Hayden Meadows store.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., branded as Walmart since 2008, is the world's largest retailer with 8,500 stores in 15 countries. The company's growth abroad in the first three months of 2012 helped the company post a 3.8 percent gain in the first quarter, making up for declines in the U.S., where store sales dropped 1.1 percent, the eighth decline in a row. Analysts blamed the decline on economic uncertainty, as struggling customers buy more generic items instead of the more costly name-brand counterparts.

The Intermediate Fly Tying Class finished earlier this year. One of the last classes was taught by Jerry Loring and these are the flies that he presented.
Slow Sink Shrimp (well it really doesnt sink too fast)
1. Tie in double (or single if you prefer) 15 pound mono for weed guard. Wrap down to bottom bend of the hook as show.
2. Wrap in plastic nymph eyes. Warp under to make eyes lift upward.
3. Tie in white fish hair as the feeders and mandibles.
4. Tie in gold tinsel (or wire) and white Estaz or white Ice Chenille.
5. Tie in crystal flash and a clump of deer hair. Build up upper body.
6. Tie in Swiss Straw for a top body carapace.
7. Wrap white Estaz. Take one turn in front Swiss Straw and another turn between black nymph eyes and Swiss straw, then wrap backward to ¼ of hook eye.
8. Fold back Swiss Straw and tie off ¼ from hook eye.
9. Begin wrapping gold tinsel (or wire).
10. Finish wrapping gold tinsel and tie off. Now insert weed guards into eye of hook. Wrap two or three turns to hold lightly in place. Trim the weed guard even with top of hook eyes. Now pull the weed guard clear of the eye of the hook and tie off.
Baby Stingray Crab
1. Tie mini or small lead eyes directly on top of and in middle of hook shank.
2. Turn hook upside down. Tie everything else on top of lead eyes. First tie in a clump of white marabou (white fish hair), and second, tie in three strands each of red and blue crystal flash.
3. Cut out a 1 long (or less than 1) crab body out of furry foam. Buy some GOOP. It can be marine GOOP, HOUSEHOLD GOOP, and OR ANY TYPE GOOP.
4. Put a small dab on one side of the crab body and work it in slightly.
5. Glue on to hook as shown. The hook rides point up with the lead eyes on bottom. Pull the legs and flash forward to better stick in the glue.
Redfish Special
1. Tie in brass bead chain eyes ¼ from hook eye.
2. Tie in a clump of orange fish hair. Wrap fish hair over entire hook shank.
3. Tie in clear lava lace or clear small tubing.
4. Tie in Mylar tinsel. Note the silver side is tied facing outward. Both materials should be tied back to the start of the orange fish hair. The tubing should be slightly farther back than the Mylar.
5. Wrap the gold/silver Mylar forward. Note the gold side faces outward when you start to wrap it forward to the eye. Tie off the Mylar at the bead eyes.
6. Now wrap the clear tubing forward and tie off at the bead chain eyes.
7. Tie in some gold crystal flash and a clump of squirrel tail. Brown deer hair will do in place of squirrel tail.
8. Tie in two barred hackle feathers and whip finish. Below is another photo.

Netflix has had rules in place for a very long time about sharing streaming accounts but it has been pretty lazy in enforcing them… until now. According to a Tech Crunch report, the streaming media service began sending out messages to streamers over the weekend who were using an account at the same time someone else in their circle of friends or family was using it. To paraphrase, the basic message was "you are already streaming (and over the limit) of your account elsewhere."
This isn't a change in Netflix's terms of service; the company has simply decided that it is time to enforce the rules. As a general rule you can stream the number of times you can have a disc out at a time. So someone that pays for the premium three discs at a time plan, they can hypothetically have three streams going at a time. The Two DVD plus Streaming plan costs $19.98 a month, three DVDs costs $23.98 and the four DVD plan runs $29.99.

I just received a Park Tools Rollup Workshop from Cane Creek last night for answering their survey/drawing. Pretty sweet, especially since I'm pretty broke right now. It gives me a chance to do and learn a little more than just pull off a cassette for cleaning!
Thanks to Craig at Cane Creek!
Sorry, just wanted to share in my excitement as this is my Christmas gift this year since moving back to Cali from Texas recently drained the bank account!

Are You Ready for the New Medicare Tax?
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 12/05/2012 @ 12:10 pm In Taxes | 5 Comments
After much wrangling and hand-wringing, and even a review by the Supreme Court, it's time for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) [3] to continue following its timeline. The provisions of the PPACA (also called "Obamacare" informally) were laid out to take place over time, and not all at once. However, there are some changes coming in 2013 that will really start having an impact.
One of these changes is the addition of a Medicare tax. No matter what you think about the healthcare law [4], it's been ruled Constitutional in all but one provision, and the Medicare tax is coming.
Not everyone will be affected by the new Medicare tax. Indeed, it only affects those who have a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) that exceeds $200,000 for those who are single, $125,000 for those who are married filing separately, and $250,000 for those married filing jointly.
Even if your MAGI (which for most taxpayers — but not all — is the same as AGI) exceeds these amounts for your filing status, you still may not have to pay the new Medicare tax. The surtax will not be charged on your earned income. Instead, it will be charged on your net investment income [5]. The types of income that will be subject to the Medicare tax include:
If you think that you will be affected by the Medicare tax, now is the time to take some steps to minimize the impact.
There are some tax strategies you can use to help reduce your Medicare tax liability. One of the things you can do is to sell winning investments right now, before the end of the year. You avoid the surtax next year, and you can take advantage of the current top 15% rate on long-term capital gains, as well as the preferred 15% rate on qualified dividends [6]. Unless something changes, these tax advantages go away just as the Medicare tax is added.
You can also consider tax-exempt bonds. This is actually one of the few things you can do in the future to reduce the impact of the tax. Tax-exempt bonds are not part of your net investment income, so you can benefit by investing in these types of securities. You do need to weigh the yield you might get against your tax savings, though.
Another tactic, if you are earning money from a partnership or S corp that you are involved with, is to make sure that you remain a material participant. Earning this money passively is a dream for many, but once 2013 hits, that passive money is subject to the Medicare tax if your MAGI exceeds the threshold. Do what it takes to be considered a material participant, and you can maintain that the income you receive isn't passive.
There are other ways that you can reduce your exposure to the Medicare tax. Consult with a tax professional, and plan ahead, and you might find that you won't be paying as much as you thought.

As we enter spring I'm sure some of us are looking ahead to what kind of spring and summer we can expect. The spring forecast is largely an extension of the winter which gave us above normal temperatures and slightly below normal rainfall. The slight deficit in rainfall across eastern North Carolina has caused a moderate drought to develop. The warm weather has given us a quick start to spring but we need the occasional showers to keep our crops and lawn growing.
The new forecast out from the Climate Prediction for summer suggests another hot one for much of the Southeast including eastern North Carolina. Last year was a scorching hot summer with little rainfall. There was a severe drought over much of the area until Hurricane Irene came in late August. The forecast for our area is for normal rainfall during the summer. If so, we would average 5 to 6 inches of rainfall each month from June to August. It would be great news for the growing season if that happens. Let's just hope we don't have to fight another hurricane this year.
I'll update the forecast again next month.

Started Getting Ready For Your 2013 Taxes Yet?Monday 10/22/2012
Started Getting Ready For Your 2013 Taxes Yet?
Yes it's only fitting to begin talking about getting your information together for your 2012 taxes, as 10/15 was the extension deadline for your 2011 taxes. A lot of people are saying to themselves, why should I since I just finished up 2011? Well, did you ask yourself how much money you may have left on the table because you didn't dot all of your i's and crossed all of your t's this past year because you were scrambling?
Yes working with a lot of last-minute filers over the past few months has not been an easy task, nor has it been pleasant as to explaining to them that they're going to owe a significant amount of money because they didn't keep track of how they were doing, both business-wise and personally. Unfortunately it not only cost them tax-wise, it also cost them money to spend countless hours having someone else search through their papers to find legitimate deductions and still have problems finding all of the money left because they chose to pay cash for a number of things, as well as generalized credit card statements without specific receipts.
This will be part of a series entitled F.O.R.W.A.R.D. 2013, for which we're going to help you begin planning before the end of 2012, because once that clock strikes midnight on 12/31/12, you have no other options left to change your tax liability for the better. As I always tell people, do you prefer your money in someone else's pocket or your own?
F. – Finding your records
O. – Overloading your account or tax preparer with unnecessary work
R. – Reconciling everything, from bank accounts, credit cards, to petty cash and assets.
W. – Where did the money go?
A. – Ask your questions and often.
R. – Read everything before you sign it and ask questions it if you don't understand it.
D. – Details, details, details, is what's going to help you not only survive but grow.
People often wait months to get their records filed because they feel that it can save them money in the grand scheme of things, but unfortunately it often costs them more money because of that procrastination. There's always no one to blame too, except themselves. Again, it is every business owner's responsibility to understand and accept the consequences that they make when failing to be prepared, but wouldn't life be so much better if you learned to not wait until the last minute and be thrown into a world of chaos? Yes some people live their entire life that way by their own choosing, but when you see those who have a sense of order, they are usually the ones who are enjoying the most out of life, both financially and emotionally.
