Former Hampton resident returns home to show, sell art in Covered Bridge show10:37 am | June 7, 2012
Former Hampton resident Barbara Brumit Crockett will be displaying her art at the Covered Bridge Celebration this weekend. It will be the first Tennessee show for Crockett, who has lived in Wake County, N.C., for the past 25 years. She will be one of many vendors, who will have their arts and crafts set up in the Covered Bridge Park, beginning today.
Crockett began painting after her retirement from the Wake County Public School System, resulting in a new career she did not expect.
Crockett, who graduated from Hampton High School and attended East Tennessee State University, taught at University High in Johnson City before moving to Wake County, N.C., where she was an educator for 20 years. She spent the last 12 years of her career as an elementary school principal.
Crockett, who said she enjoyed working, was forced to retire early after being diagnosed with breast cancer six years ago. "I was miserable. I didn't like being retired. However, I found there is life after retirement, you just have to seek it out. You never know what God has in store for you," Crockett said.
She discovered art via way of her artist son, Billy Malone, who is an artist in New York. "While recuperating from breast cancer, he during a visit home suggested I take a watercolor class, and I decided to do it," Crockett said. She took classes at Cheap Joe's in Boone, N.C., and from there she was on her way to not only being an artist, but a successful one.
"It turned into something I didn't expect," said Crockett, who now has her own gallery and paints every day. "I'm really having fun. I can't wait to start painting every day. I usually spend eight hours a day in my studio," she shared, noting that it has paid off.
Crockett said that initially she began attending craft shows, selling purses and jewelry. Her husband suggested she try selling some of her paintings. "My first show I took 25 paintings and sold 17 the first day. The next day I sold the rest," she said. Now, she does numerous shows a year, and most recently one of her paintings sold for $1,000.
Crockett is best known for her vibrant colors, Wake Forest landmarks, and her beautiful winter landscapes. She enjoys doing rustic "mountain" pictures of barns and houses as well as floral pieces.
Crockett admits that she often has a difficult time parting with some of her paintings, but is glad to share them with friends.
Although her favorite medium is watercolors, she does do some oil painting.
Brumit not only speaks with pride of her art work and teaching career, but of her husband, four children and five grandchildren. "They all have successful careers and have been most supportive of me," she said.
"I recall when Billy was about four, I had taken a watercolor class from Edna Townsend, who had a home in Roan Mountain and did a lot of Roan Mountain paintings. I had begun a painting and had it on an easel. He came into the room, took one look at the painting, and said, 'Mom, your perspective is off.' I put the painting away and never painted again until after my retirement," Crockett said.
"Painting has brought a lot of joy to me," Crockett said this week as she prepared to travel over the mountains for her first show in her former hometown. "I'm looking forward to it and hope to see a lot of friends and people I grew up with," she shared.

Aurora man dies in tollway rollover crash
By Jenette Sturges firstname.lastname@example.com November 14, 2012 1:16PM
Updated: December 19, 2012 11:53AM
An Aurora man died Tuesday in a single-vehicle rollover crash on Interstate 88.
Samuel Sanchez Jr., 29, of Aurora, was in a Mustang travelling west on the tollway, just west of the Oakbrook Center shopping mall around 5 a.m., police said.
According to State Police, the driver of the car lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway as the car was approaching the cash toll lanes, struck a guardrail and rolled over in a ditch.
Sanchez was ejected from the vehicle.
Police said has not been determined why the vehicle went out of control.
It is unknown whether Sanchez or the car's other occupant was driving, whether the two were wearing seat belts, or whether drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, according to State Police.
The two were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where Sanchez was pronounced dead.
Police said they are not naming the other occupant of the vehicle, pending investigation. No charges have been filed.

11 Questions With Heather O'Reilly
Apr 3, 2008
ussoccer.com: Let's talk about the first game of Olympic Qualifying against Jamaica. You have never faced Jamaica at any level with the U.S. National Teams. What kind of game are you expecting?
Heather O'Reilly: "My experience with Caribbean teams is that they are going to be passionate and energetic. They are going to embrace the opportunity to play the U.S. so we need to be ready to counter that energy."
ussoccer.com: Qualifying matches are "get a result or go home" type of games. How do you, as an athlete, respond to that kind of pressure?
HAO: "I think it's important not to get overwhelmed with the future. It's so critical to focus on this tournament and the next game, not the coming months, as if we don't produce here, we don't get to go to the Olympics. You must focus on the immediate task at hand even though it's hard at times. We believe in our abilities and our preparation, and if we do that, we will go into every game with confidence."
ussoccer.com: The U.S. team has played in front of some partisan crowds before – at the 2007 Women's World Cup it seemed the entire stadium was rooting for North Korea – but the U.S. doesn't often play in an environment where everyone is rooting against them. What kind of experience is that?
HAO: "I think it's a new challenge for us because only recently have we faced crowds that are very much against us. It definitely gets you fired up to hear crowds cheer against you, but I just get pumped up if there is a big crowd in general. One thing I think is cool is that no matter how many people are cheering against us, this group of 20 players is so close-knit that in the end, we believe in each other and it's us that control our own fate, not the crowd."
ussoccer.com: The team has played in China, Portugal and now Mexico this year. What's the key to life on the road as a WNT player?
HAO: "It's easy to get into a routine or a groove and not be appreciative of every day you have playing for your national team, so the key to being on the road all the time is finding things that are interesting and that excite you. You can't take this experience for granted. Having that kind of attitude helps make every day fun."
ussoccer.com: You won the MVP at the Four Nations Cup in China without scoring a goal in the tournament. I know that surprised you a bit, but it also brought some validation, yes?
HAO: "Growing up as a forward and goal scorer, I was always judged by the amount of balls I put in the back of the net, so it was a big honor and flattering to get that award without getting a goal. It gave me confidence that I was contributing to the team in other ways, and in the end, it's about your team winning the game."
ussoccer.com: We know you watch soccer on TV as much as you can. What current forwards from around the world are your favorites?
HAO: "Right now Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. His ability to take on players has always been world class, but right now his ability to score all kinds of different goals from everywhere on the field is just separating him from everyone else. I also kind-of dig Emmanuel Adebayor from Arsenal because he makes teams always have to worry about him. Those are players that I look to model my game after."
ussoccer.com: When you are not on the road, you are currently living in New York City. What are some of the best and worst things about living in the Big Apple?
HAO: "It's a city like no other. The amount of things to do and the energy the city has is unmatched in the whole world. I've had a lot of fun trying out new restaurants, going to museums and seeing shows. I love the shopping - it's incredible - and I love going for runs in Central Park. It's my favorite part of the whole city. You can never have a boring day in New York. Sometimes, the city brings me down because everyone is in such a rush to go somewhere. I'm a bit more laid back than most New Yorkers, so I want to say, 'Hey, what's the big rush?' Sometimes I just want to order a sandwich and not be stressed out about it."
ussoccer.com: For a long time, you were the youngest player on the National Team after debuting at age 17. Now Stephanie Cox, Amy Rodriguez, Tobin Heath and Lauren Cheney are all younger than you. Do you see some of the young Heather in them?
HAO: "Of course. I see them procrastinating on writing their papers and that reminds me of my college days. But all those girls have done an awesome job mixing in with the group and acting professional, which I hope I did when I was younger."
ussoccer.com: You are playing as more of an outside midfielder/true winger under Pia Sundhage. How's life on the flank?
HAO: "I love it. I have a lot of freedom out there and although I need to go back and defend more than I was as a forward, I feel I have a lot more freedom to attack from that position. Changing positions is always a challenge, but I really want to be great in that spot for the team this year."
ussoccer.com: You recently played an excellent April Fools joke on Cat Whitehill. (See the WNT Blog to read all about it). Do tell.
HAO: "Like myself, Cat Whitehill is a huge Tar Heels basketball fan. Tobin Heath and I decided in warm-ups to tell her that Tyler Hansbrough got a high ankle sprain in practice and was unable to play in the semifinals of the Final Four. Obviously Cat freaked out a bit and then we broke the news that it was just an April Fools joke. Looking back, it was kind of mean joke and I hope that Tyler leads UNC to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!"
ussoccer.com: The U.S. team is going to play its first domestic match of the year on April 27 in Cary, N.C., a place that holds a lot of fond memories for you. You played college soccer there and it's also the stadium where you scored your first goal for the WNT. We assume you are looking forward to the match.
HAO: "The stadium in Cary is very special to me. I've won two National Championships there for UNC and scored my very first goal there against Italy. I love Chapel Hill very much. It's my favorite place in America and I'm really excited to be back in a place I'll always call home."

Lessons in Learning
Dear Editor:
Your May/June Editor's Note, "Educate to Motivate," has hit the nail squarely on the head. I'm a commission salesman with 45 years' experience. Top financial salespeople don't need paid vacations, expensive gifts, or trophies. I can pay for all of those things myself. Savvy planners understand this. The best gift you can give to a producer is a skills enhancement meeting. If you help me to make more money, you will benefit in both the short run and the long term. When a vacation is over, it's over. Skills are a gift that will benefit my family and me for the rest of my life.
Compelling content is exactly what we want. The "peer-to-peer" part of a meeting is basically a forum for face-to-face best practices. Producer-to-executive interaction is very important to us, because we're usually so deep in our own silos, selling, we have no clear idea of where the execs are taking our company and our industry.
I read Financial & Insurance Meetings because I want to know what's happening down the road. Planners and producers don't work closely enough. FIM helps me to understand how difficult the planner's job is.
Gary Wollin
San Francisco
Dear Editor:
Many thanks for featuring Berkshire Life's talented meeting team of Mark Haydon and FICP President-Elect Sharon Chapman on your cover. I have the privilege of working closely with these two consummate professionals on one of the annual meetings described in the article, and their instincts about what will resonate with our group are always right on. Not only has the article created a lot of buzz among Mark's and Sharon's peers in the industry, but a surprising number of producers from our parent company, Guardian, have commented on it as well. (These are the same producers who must meet strict qualifying requirements to earn an invitation to our education-only, nonincentive meeting.)
We also played up the article in our internal employee newsletter to enhance our 400-plus associates' appreciation for what — and who — makes Berkshire Life field meetings unique in the industry.

21,000-Mile Update On Our Project JK
At first we were painfully reluctant to change much on our '07 two-door Wrangler Rubicon. How could we not be? It's been comfortable and reliable enough to make a daily 60-mile round-trip commute. It's also served as this editor's primary wheeling rig for the last six months. And with a quick wash, wax, and vacuum, it's been out on date night. Although the truth is, it hardly ever gets washed and there is rarely anyone sitting in the passenger seat. Overall, our project JK has been a pretty sweet ride. The T-boning incident in Los Angeles traffic set us back a few months, but since those repairs, we've been spinning wrenches and logging miles, and here's what we've learned. (For the first log entries, check out "Ready-to-Run, Part I," June '07.)
Mile 7,604: On the way home from a desert trip it began to rain. I was behind a fast-moving sports car while climbing up the Banner grade to Julian, California. The car couldn't ditch me without spinning out. The Jeep's ESP kept me on the road. And it surely frustrated the car's driver, whose rearview mirror was full of Wrangler grille despite his best efforts to rail around the corners and through the straights.
Mile 10,073: Plastic interior parts, like the dash and door panels, get nicked, scratched, and dinged easily-even from my fingernails. In a high-pressure car wash, the upper driver-side door seal let a few drops of water through. Everywhere else seems as watertight as a frog's butt.
Mile 10,785: I can't believe it took me this long to figure out that the cupholders in the JK are not big enough for a 7-Eleven Big Gulp or 1-liter soda bottle. Way lame.
Mile 11,037: An excruciatingly annoying rattle has manifested behind the top center of the dash. And for some reason, the satellite radio got shut off. A quick call turned the sat radio back on for the remainder of the free trial period.
Mile 11,140: Dash noise disappears after installing Daystar dashpanel.
Mile 15,238: Added a ShrockWorks front bumper and Warn Powerplant winch. The new front bumper and winch improve the look of our JK but noticeably sag the front suspension.
Mile 15,346: Our project JK got centerpunched by a Honda! The driver-side door won't open. Driver-side door, fender, flares, rocker, rocker guard, front wheel, and rear quarter-panel are damaged. The ESP system is all pissed off because the steering wheel isn't straight. Still manage to drive the JK home 30 miles from the crash site. Two days later I put it on a trailer and towed it to a body shop.
Mile 15,392: More than two months and $6,365.84 later, the Jeep is finally fixed ... kinda. The correct parts are hard to get and take forever. The rocker area is supposed to have a curve to it but doesn't. There is a scratch in the driver-side window and the top was slightly damaged when it was removed before the side of the Jeep was painted. Ultimately, I have to accept the fact that no matter what, a Jeep (or any vehicle, really) will never be like-new after a wreck. Whatever- now I don't feel so bad about modifying it or scratching it off-road. Yee-haw! It's no longer perfect! Time for a desert trip!
Mile 15,425: While the JK was in the shop I spent way too many miles in a rental car. I forgot how well the JK handles the bumps. The ESP in full-on mode is worthless off-road unless you're just cruising. The halfmode setting is perfect for fast trails. For dunes and mud, shut it all the way off and run in high-range 4x4 First and Second gear. This keeps the rpm up where the 3.8L likes to rev. The 4:1 low-range is really too low for anything but rocks and yanking stuck vehicles. I'm seriously thinking about installing a regular NV241 in place of the NV241OR. The rear seat has become pretty much worthless in our two-door. It's not easy to get to and it's difficult to remove when I need to haul stuff. I hardly ever have someone back there, so it has been permanently removed as of now.

"But stiff forks make for better for handling!" you say. To which I respond, "What if you can have the comfort without sacrificing hardly anything in the handling department?"... You then fall speechless to the ground and kiss my feet..
The same thinking that led us to steel frames led us to the creation of the Classic Curve line of chromoly steel forks. We drew our inspiration from forks found on old Peugeots, Raleighs and Motobecanes. The main difference between Classic Curve forks and our current curved forks is the bend in the blade is concentrated in the lower part of the blade. They give any bike a vintage look, but the offset(rake) is the same as our other forks, so that steering stays crisp. Right now we have: two road fork versions(for 49mm and 57mm reach brakes), a track version and a cyclo-cross/trekking version.

Mydecade...your right I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to my doctor. But I also think I need to get this under control on my own too, because it's something I struggle with and give in each time, and I don't want to live like that anymore. I want to know that I can overcome this, and move past it. But I already feel so much better about my journey talking with all of you! I feel like my head is already in a much better place having spent today replying to all of you! It's helping me work through my emotions!
I have to say that so far my day has been right on track...I did my LBWO this morning, I've eaten well all day, lots of water...and I'm trying to stay positive!
Hi EvasMommy,
Just a few things that have helped me, from one gal to another!!!!
1) Diet coke: my addiction of choice, but the stuff makes me CRAZY hungry. I never realized that until I stopped drinking it the first month of this challenge........every time I allow myself one now, I am craving food all day long and never full!
2) Same with white carbs (white bread, white rice, sugar, etc.) Stick with whole wheat pasta and breads, many fewer cravings.
3) Exercise helps! Hormones are not an excuse, but they are VERY real, and definitely affect the way we feel, some women more than others. Some months I get horrific mood swings, others not so much. I do have to say with exercising consistently on BFL (I'm in week 9 now), the mood swings have been so much better. I'd say mood swings only about 20% of normal, I think due to consistent exercise.
4) If you goof up on the eating (trust me, I have a couple times in a BIG way this past 9 weeks), just try to figure out why you slipped up, learn from it, and move on. DON'T QUIT, just hop back on board and keep plugging along!
5) Go by how you look more than the scale............you will put on muscle if you are pushing yourself in your workouts, the scale may not drop as quickly as you hope, but the end results will be so much better!
Good Luck, and we are glad you joined the forum!
Also - many women, and myself and my dr as well, swear by upping your intake of B vitamins, maybe ask your doc about that if you want to try options other than the pill.
I like this suggestion. I took pictures in the beginning, but am so hesitant to take them to see if there is any improvement. Overall, I have done very good with exercise, and probably about a "B" on my eating. I was so disgusted with my pictures - I look liked like the definition of "skinny fat" so I am scared to take more pictures.
With that being said, maybe I should order a bikini and plan on pictures as BDmom suggests. I think you should too, Evasmommy.
MN Mom- Thank you sooo much for all your suggestions! Yeah I think maybe the d-coke did me in this last week! I dropped it completely from my diet the first two weeks, and I'm going to drop it again starting today and moving forward except on free days! It's great to hear everyones suggestions because I'm starting to put together all the things that I've done in the past week that are contributing factors to my cravings, and not helping my "that time of the month" situation! It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing these horrible hormonal mood swings and cravings! Thank you for your encouragement! I'm definitely starting to feel some muscle definition so you are right about just dropping the scale and not driving myself crazy over it. So good to know about the B vitamin intake, I'm going to look into it and definitely try it! All your advice is really valuable to me!
My2Suns-I actually did take a before picture also and a two week picture because my fiance said he had noticed a definite change...looking at them now I see a slight difference but not anything earth shattering! I have to admit even though it was not much of a change, I looked at them today again and it gave me some encouragement! I'm not quite courageous enough to post them yet, I will post them eventually but I want to do wk 4 or 5! Don't be scared, it helped me start my challenge at the beginning because when I saw the pics I looked like Big bird lol (I gain all my weight in my upper body) so it helped to propel me forward. I had a moment of complete weakness in the last week, and after talking with everyone today, I opened the pics side by side and it made me realize that I have gotten somewhere even if its a very small change! Maybe I'll order a new bikini too!
P.s. MN Mom you look amazing...congratulations on your progress! You look great!
MN Mom,
"Diet" Soda's in some people can cause the exact same physiological effects as "normal" soda.
Basically the body thinks it just got a load of sugar and ramps up to put that higly refined suger into long term storage.
So I know I said I would put away the scale...and today I finally did...and although I've realized from everyone's advice that the scale is a deathtrap, curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know how much damage I did since my awful diet in week 3, which I realize the number sometimes does not mean a thing...Well to my surprise, no change whatsoever! 155.8...I started at 163. Needless to say I was happily surprised because I've had a pattern on other diets of getting down to 156 and jumping back up within a week. But even though I cheated that week I continued the BFL exercise by the book!
So after the weigh in this morning I took it out of the house and put it into my fiances car because he works alot so it'll be away for most of the time!
Through everyone's support, advice and encouragement I have to say that on Monday everyone helped me fight through my blues. Yesterday my head was in a great place, and today I feel even better. I think I just needed someone to talk some sense into me and it made me realize that just because I had a bit of a stumble it doesn't mean anything and I need to forgive and move forward! So I'm honestly so excited about the challenge all over again like I was when I started the first week. I already feel so much stronger and healthier, and I realize whatever the end result may be, will be one step closer to achieving my ultimate goal!
I've also gone back to lots and lots of water no soda and it has helped the cravings tremendously, so thank you everyone!
Awesome news!
Knew you had it in you!
Good job on the scales too. There are just too many things that can cause your weight to change a few pounds.
YAYYYYY! I know curiosity will get to you, but you will be SO much better for not having it in the house, every single day!
Live TODAY like there's no TOMORROW!
Thank you Doin it and dburg30! I feel sooo much better! Couldn't get my UBWO in this morning, but I'm about to put my little peanut to bed and I will get it in now! As each day passes I feel better and better :)

The tool has been tested for weight handle capacity well in excess of the lifting capability of even the strongest humans - up to 1,000 pounds!
If you're looking for a tool to help you evenly cut your firewood, look no further – the innovative new Mingo Firewood Marker is the tool for the job. You'll not find another product like it – made of Lexan, the same durable material used in aircraft windshields, the Mingo is lightweight, easy-to-use, and built to last. Simply insert a standard can of surveyor's paint, available at most hardware stores, and roll it along any surface (great for firewood, construction, and 101 other jobs!) The hand-held Mingo will mark lengths of your choice of 14", 16", or 18", making it easy to cut wood (even snow-covered logs) into even lengths for safe stacking and efficient burning. One can of surveyor's paint will mark up to 75 cord of wood. Makes a great gift!

It'll be my first time at AA this year, and my friend was willing to give me a little bit of her table space. I'm really confused about the AA rules.
- Do I have to notify the staff that I'm going to be sharing a table and do I have to check in when I get to AA?
- Would I need to bring an ID for identification, and would a school ID work? (The only accepted ID I have from the list given on the site is a passport but if I could, I'd rather not bring it to a convention. )
- Am I prohibited from using patterns and textures I haven't made in my artwork?
- Am I allowed to put character names (text) on fan art?
Thank you for reading!

Re: Need some clarifications on Artist Alley rules!
You and your friend will have to check in to AA at the same time. Staff will give you a sticker for your badge to indicate you are a vendor. You do not need to contact them ahead of time.
You do not need an ID as your friend is the primary vendor. It will be in her name.
There are no restrictions like that I am aware of on fanart. As long as you drew and designed it, it should be permitted in AA.
Join the very much UNofficial Animazement FB group!<3
Re: Need some clarifications on Artist Alley rules!
Agreed with Marzipan! I've seen lots of people put the character name underneath the work so that and textures should be fine
You should also check in with the AA coordinators before you head on to your table. They will have a checklist of who has a table, so if you don't check in with them they may assume you didn't show up and might make that table available. Plus it'll be really clear where they are, so be sure to check in with them either Thursday, Friday or Saturday morning!

DHL to Cease Wine Shipments Nov 3rd
October 6th, 2008
Steve Bachmann at The Wine Collector is reporting that DHL has notified its customers that it will cease wine shipments effective November 3rd. DHL has struggled to gain a foothold in the interstate wine shipping market, where FedEx and UPS dominate.
If you have received the notification letter from DHL, we'd love to see a copy of it. You can always reach our blog authors and editors at firstname.lastname@example.com.
UPDATE: We received a copy of the letter that DHL sent out to their customers. See the letter below.
One Response to "DHL to Cease Wine Shipments Nov 3rd"
DHL should be ashamed of themselves for prohibiting this. DHL was a great choice for wineries. Now that leaves just UPS and Fedex as the only choices. These 2 companies control what states they want to do business in. MA is a legal state for small wineries, but yet UPS and Fedex wont deliver. Its not good to have only 2 players in a industry. The US postal service needs to step up to the plate and carry alcohol. Enough is enough already! But wait, the owner is the government, I guess that wont happen with that red tape!

A NOLA resident from birth and classically trained dancer, Reyn Lambert was introduced to yoga through her lifelong study of ballet. Her passion for ballet brought her to The New School University in New York City, where yoga and Pilates became a staple of most of the dancers at the school for focus, strength, flexibility, and stability. These characteristics of yoga instantaneously became extremely appealing to Reyn and have continued to form the foundation of her yoga and Pilates practice for 7 years. Upon returning to New Orleans after her time away, Reyn partnered with longtime friend and fellow yoga enthusiast, Luke Hooper, to found Reyn Studios to share her passion and vision of yoga and fitness with the New Orleans community.
Reyn's classes focus on strength and alignment, sharing insights gained from decades of movement study intertwined with the principles of power yoga.

From journal Cancun - Mexico or not?
by britgirl7
Dallas, Texas
April 24, 2005
I love this club, as they play a little more serious tunes than the others. The flyers we spotted advertised upcoming DJs such as Sasha, Pete Tong, and Oakenfold, as well as events like MTV Spring Break and foam parties.
Check out their website for all the upcoming events and see some pics for yourself HERE
By day, the club has a beachclub with music, live entertainment, a huge wave pool, and surf-rider slide. By night, the club holds 15,000 clubbers for some of the best music sounds and light sensations in Cancun. There are three floors, and the main dance area tends to be hardcore techno and trance. Upstairs, the lounge mixes hip-hop and electronic with a more laid-back feel amongst the couches and curtains. The main dance floor was huge and spacious, with stadium seats for rests between the tunes.
The bouncers were very laid-back, and dancing on tables, bar tops, and chairs was encouraged. The only think I didn't like here was the shot girls who were really aggressive. They don't make it clear that they charge; in fact, this one girl said over and over free drink, free drink and then turned around and asked for $1 once she had literally forced the drink into my husband's mouth after we kept saying, "No thanks."
This club, like all the clubs in Cancun, is expensive to get in (anywhere between $15 and $25). However, try bargaining, especially if it's early or later in the evening. One quieter night, we got in for free because it was already 1am.
Also, I hate to say this and offend any feminists, but send the girls ahead of the group. If the doormen think there is a group of cute girls with no men, they will often let you in free anyway. Meet up with your fellas, husbands, etc., once you are inside and have already gotten in at half-price. Drinks are a couple of dollars each, and you can purchase the all-you-can-drink wristband upon entry if you want to really tie one on!!

It's definitely possible Zhao, but can be time consuming since you're going at a slower pace then everyone else since you'll have slightly lower gear.
I may have gotten some pretty lucky drops, but really I only did about 20 farming sessions.
10 A3 Hell runs (Cydea/Azmodan) before entering Inferno (1.04) and 10 A1 Inferno runs (Warden/Butcher) (1.04).
When 1.05 came out, I then did another 10 runs or so (not boss runs, just general farm runs) in A1 on MP1.
Now I've been doing A1 (MP3) runs almost extensively. I've probably done 30 or so while both farming and trying to finish off my A1 accomplishments. (Only 1 more to go - Hanging Tree in the Weeping Hollow).
One thing that I should mention is that I have a pretty integrated spreadsheet that I use which mathematically evaluates if an item is an upgrade for any of my characters. I don't ALWAYS switch, but I'll at least do a more thorough comparison that way.
I've been pretty lucky over the past 2 days as I've had 4 nice legendary drops
Barb got a new main hand - Echoing Fury with a double strength roll
WD got a pair of Blackthornes with a double socket for one of the random stats.
DH got a Natalyia's reflection Ring
and an ilvl 63 spear that isn't an upgrade for anyone.

Re: Goal accomplished
Congrats sir! I hove only beaten it with one char since release... I get to Nightmare act 2 and get bored with it lol. Maybe one day I will get through the end with all the classes

Re: Goal accomplished
Thought I'd just continue on with this thread rather than creating a new one.
Completed another goal last week by beating inferno with my HC Witch Doctor completely self found and single pass through (except for one area of A3 Hell where I ran the keeps twice).
Got a couple of pretty lucky drops in A3 Hell primarily with the weapon that I used for most of inferno that helped me accomplish the task.
Relied on Spirit Vessel a total of 3 times.
Two of the three times were when facing Azmodan and got hit with his fireball (once was just not paying attention, the other was trying to avoid the pool). The last time, I tried switching up the build a bit, and it was NOT successful, so went back to a more defensive approach.
A few pretty stressful situations, but overall I enjoyed the additional challenge/stress.

Re: Goal accomplished
Congrats! A great accomplishment... and I'm not just saying that because I did this myself a few months ago.
I managed to get my WD through it in 1.0.4 -- other characters had to wait until 1.0.5 by sheer luck of the RNG I use to determine which character I play on any given day. IMO, the single-player difficulty for self-found is WD (easiest) > DH > Barb > Monk > Wizard, but that's just me.
19-04-2013, 19:41 #16
Re: Goal accomplished
I completely agree that WD is the easiest which is why I tried him first. (I tried a wizard in 1.03 (maybe 1.02) and he died at level 42 (A2 NM). I'm now trying again with the wizard to see how that goes.
I agree with your ranking except for the DH. I would have placed the DH after the Monk (that's more due to the fact that I had the hardest time with my DH when my self found SC characters beat inferno in 1.03 or 1.04. (Barb was the only one who could get past Rakanoth in 1.03).
22-04-2013, 10:04 #17
Re: Goal accomplished
Congratulations The game is certainly not "too easy" when you don't use the AH.
I just beat Inferno with my DH, that leaves only my Barb. Hopefully later this week.

Re: Goal accomplished
Demon hunters have gotten some new tricks in the last patches though sentry and spike trap do massive damage to elites/champions/bosses, bola shot or grenades can permastun minions after the buff to crowd control, boar is a pretty good tank, armor/health/AR buffs from disciplined and boar, and its easy to stack lots of life regen with brooding (which will be double next patch). My DH in a3 inferno has around 400 AR, 6k armor, 10k dps, 55k hp and 1k life regen single pass self found. Killed belial before his 2nd round of meteors. Id say my DH is better and safer than my WD played the same way if it wasnt for the lack of spirit vessel which just makes it impossible to die unless youre playing with 1 hand.

Kovalchuk supports Russian anti-gay law; Crosby, other stars opposed
By Allan Muir
Here's a shocker: another high-profile Russian athlete has come out in support of their country's controversial anti-gay propaganda law.
"I agree, of course," said Ilya Kovalchuk. "I'm Russian and we all have to respect that. It's personal and, like I said, it's a free world, but that's our line. That's our country, so everybody has to respect that."
I'm guessing that Kovalchuk, who was speaking to TSN, might have a different understanding of the phrase "free world" than most people.
To be fair, though, he's got more skin in this game than any of us. Maybe that is the way he feels. Maybe that's the way he was told to feel. Doesn't much matter. It's pretty clear now that this is the sort of stock answer you should expect whenever a Russian is asked to speak in public about this particular law.
The same question was posed to several players at Team Canada's orientation camp in Calgary on Sunday, and while what they said didn't exactly come across as an outpouring of support for the gay community, it's clear that their views are a little different.
"It's hard to go into a country that supports something like that," said Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, though he added that he's not in favor of boycotting the Games. "I don't think that would do any good. I think it would cause more problems than it would solve.
"But I think it's an opportunity for athletes to get together and support a cause that I think a lot of us really have a passion for. And I think we can do lot of good for it."
Said Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle, "I don't agree with [the laws]. I just don't agree. I think, gay or not, that shouldn't change anything. Not a big fan of that."
"I was part of that 'You Can Play' campaign, and I know a lot of guys who are going to be on Olympic rosters," said Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos. "It's a little uneasy with what's going on over there, but there's a lot of time and I think things can change."
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby noted that the law wouldn't find much support in Canada. "I think that everyone has an equal right to play and I think we've been supportive of that," he said. "With the Olympics and the controversy around that, I think those decisions and those laws aren't necessarily something that I agree with personally . . . their laws and their views."
We'll update later today when Team USA's hopefuls face the same question.

3014 Eastway Dr, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2820535.215008 -80.781832
Neighborhoods: Briarcreek - Woodland, Briarcreek-Woodland
BEST BIG AND TALL STORE IN TOWN – I am a very large person and Esquire is the only place I can find clothes that fit. Other stores have big clothes and tall clothes but Esquire has clothes for men that are both big AND tall.
Their staff are very well trained and they give the impression that they are there as clothing consultants rather than someone just minding the cash regester.
BY FAR the best clothing store in the Charlotte area for large men.
Great quality clothing for men of large stature. – My husband has a large athletic build. Esquire sells trendy and business clothing for younger men as well as for older gentlemen of larger stature. All clothing is of great quality and will holdup for many years. Fred, the owner, is very accomodating and knows how all of theclothes in the store fit so your not wasting your time trying on something that won't fit your build. We have lived in many states but everytime we're in Charlotte my husband makes a point to go to Esquire. Highly recommend!

Product Description
The Craftsman 22 inch Self Propelled Mower Delivers a Good-Looking LawnThe Craftsman 190cc Front Drive Self Propelled Mower delivers versatility and toughness with a value that might just have you thinking lawn care isn't so bad after all. With a 675 Gold Series Briggs & Stratton engine with 190cc's of power, there's no denying this Craftsman mower has the guts to cut down just about any length of grass in its path. No only is the engine potent, but it's easy to start, too, thanks to Ready Start™ and Smooth Start&trade. Ready Start is a system that eliminates the need for priming and choking the engine so all you have to do is pull, which is about 20 percent easier than on other lawn mowers thanks to Smooth Start. The mower pulls its own weight, too, as it cuts its way across your yard with a variable speed gear drive system on the front wheels so it moves at the speed you want it to move - effortlessly. There's no more need to lean into the handle with all your weight to mow up hills or through thick or wet grass which not only makes this Craftsman lawn mower more comfortable, but safer, too.
Even with all of those comfort features, this Craftsman 22 inch Self Propelled Mower gets the job done and done well. Four height positions on the 22 inch high performance deck help you get the ideal look and feel you want on your lawn. Not only do you get to choose how thick and luscious you want your grass, but how to dispose of it as well by bagging, mulching or discharging the clippings. The bagger door automatically stays open to make removing the bag even easier and simply closes with a squeeze of the control ball. Mulching delivers highly important nutrients back to your lawn without the cluttered look of leaving the clippings behind. With so many features on this versatile mower, the hardest thing you might do is put it away - and Craftsman even makes that easy thanks to its folding adjustable handle.
- Featuring a 22-in. high-performance deck, the Craftsman 190cc Front Drive Self Propelled Mower offers excellent bagging, mulching or discharging
- 675 Briggs & Stratton Gold Series 190cc* engine with Smooth Start (20% easier to pull); ReadyStart™** (no priming needed); and M.R.S.
- Front drive, variable speed propelled drive system lets the mower do the work
- EZ Bagging Access features a bagger door that stays open for easy bag removal
- Dust-Blocker Grass Bag helps keep dirt away from user
- Available in all 50 states
- 2-year warranty protects your investment
- Made in USA *As rated by the engine manufacturer
**Starting Promise: Briggs & Stratton Corporation warrants to the original owner, that select 550ex Series™, 675ex Series™, 725ex Series™ and Professional Series™ engines equipped with ReadyStart™ will always start on the first or second pull or we will fix it for free.

I purchase this mower because after 10 years the engine on my previous Sear?s mower seized. The mower I purchased was on sale and since I needed a new mower, I purchased it. The first time I used it was approximately 1.5 weeks after purchasing it. After finishing the required minor handle assembly, it started immediately as promised. Unfortunately, at this point it has two significant issues. The first issue is that the blade was not completely bolted to the engine. Upon starting the engine, the blade made a noise that sounded as if it was a 5 year old mower and not brand new and essentially just out of the box. The second issue was that before I had finished mowing even a portion of the yard the screw that secures the safety flap on the rear of the mower worked its way out. This, of course, resulted in the safety flap causing a safety issue when it would move under the mower. This was a relatively easy fix by taking the bolt off from the other side and completely removing the now unsafe, rear safety flap. The issues I have with the mower to this point are relatively minor, but at the same time are significant in that they reflect marginal quality control. Certainly one anticipates that a just out of the box mower will have all parts secured by the manufacturer. If I had installed the parts, it would be my responsibility but that was not the case with my new mower. My previous Sears mower lasted for many years and I have Craftsman tool that over 40 years old and work fine. So, I am loyal to Sears and some of their products based on past purchases. I just hope that there are not any other surprises with my new mower when mowing season is in full swing.

I have a small grass area. Used the mower 7 times before it wouldn't start. Sears and creaftsman what a joke, they don't stand behind there product and didn't care when I took it back.
Houston, TX

02/17/2014 I have now used the mower twice. It started perfectly during each use, started multiples times during the 2 separate occasions & started perfectly. Unless you are mowing pure DIRT, GRAVEL, or areas that you really shouldn?t be mowing over, the bag caught almost ALL lawn dust. It even collected almost all dust from a pile of dried leaves.I had 0 problems with grass falling out of the bag. I actually had "good problems" with it becoming FULL & still trying to compact more in. Cleaning this mower is made so simple. Attach a garden hose and it?s clean, on the underside. Blow off or sweep off the top before-hand makes it easier. Sounds like a pain but 1omins each time you use it and it keeps it new. Opening the box at the store A MUST. It doesn?t matter the company these days, there is little care for customer service or quality control. Having just bought my first home and needing to remodel it, I have learned the lesson always check the item in store before you leave, ALWAYS!!!

Sales associate recommend this mower to me and I love it. No more pull start for me. I can never get it started the next season. With this there is no problem. Just put in the charged battery and press a button. Battery is pretty heavy though. I take out the battery when not in use and is stored inside my home not in shed with mower.

Tucked into the scenic rolling hills of the Western Highlands, 439-acre Black Rock State Park offers a variety of outdoor activities. Steep, wooded ledges covered with pine, hemlock and oak provide the setting for Black Rock Pond. The name "Black Rock" is derived from the local graphite deposits which the early settlers of the Naugatuck Valley were allowed to mine by the resident Indians around 1657. Visitors can enjoy the scenery of the Western Highlands while hiking the blue-blazed Mattatuck Trail, which connects the park to the woodland sections of the Mattatuck State Forest.
Black Rock was given to the people of Connecticut in 1926, through the efforts of Black Rock Forest, Incorporated, a citizen's conservation group interested in woodland preservation. Development of access roads and facilities later became part of the Civilian Conservation Corps' economic recovery program in the 1930's, following World War I.
Black Rock is a designated Trout Park, so one important activity at the park is stream and pond fishing. Other activities include camping, picnicking, swimming, and field sports. Excellent hiking is available on the Mattatuck Trail, from the Grey Stone section of Waterbury to the Wigwam Reservoir in Morris. This trail offers a scenic view of the Naugatuck Valley, highlighting Black Rock. There are many side trails, where one can see Black Rock Lake, Black Rock Pond, mature forests, and meadows. Hikes can last from 30 minutes to all day.
Black Rock a wooded setting, beach and swimming pond, from May until September 30. Other park facilities include restrooms, a food concession stand and camp store, picnic tables, dumping station, flush toilets, showers, and gravel and grass parking. Firewood and ice are available at the camp office.

Jonesborough's Olde Courthouse Diner serves breakfast at any time
A friend and I spent a fun Sunday afternoon in historic downtown Jonesborough, where we also enjoyed a pleasant lunch at a fairly new restaurant.
The Olde Courthouse Diner, owned by Jo Ann Bentley and her son, Frank Van Pelt, has been open for only a few months, making it one of the newest eating establishments in Tennessee's oldest town. The restaurant is located in the shadow of the town's most recognizable landmark, the Washington County Courthouse and its clock tower.
Upon entering the restaurant, a server invited us to take a seat at the table of our choice. She soon arrived with the restaurant's menus and took our drink orders.
The renovated interior of the restaurant offers bright yellow walls with fire engine red trim and cherry-stained wood paneling. Red floral valances over the windows, silk flower arrangements on each table and an old-fashioned lunch counter complete the cheerful, nostalgic feel of the restaurant. A shelf behind the lunch counter also displays a variety of vintage kitchen items.
Some exceptionally nice photography of Jonesborough landmarks are displayed on the walls. In talking with our server, we learned the photos were taken by the owner's daughter.
We studied the menus as classic rock 'n' roll tunes from the 1950s and 1960s played in the background. The menu makes note of the fact breakfast is served all day, although biscuits are not available past 10:30 a.m. The rest of the menu offerings range from salads and sandwiches to dinner plates and burgers. Be sure to also check out the menu board at the back of the restaurant for the daily specials.
Some of the items that caught my eye included Country Fried Steak, Shrimp Basket and Chicken Livers and Onions. Several of the burgers also tempted me, including the BBQ Bacon Burger, the Spicy Burger, which features Cajun seasoning, pepper jack cheese, sauteed onions and jalapenos; as well as a Swiss and Mushroom Burger. The Heart Attack — a hamburger to which ham, extra bacon and Swiss and American cheese have been added — sounded tempting but also a little scary.
Some of the sandwiches also attracted my attention, including the Catfish Sandwich, which can be prepared grilled, blackened or fried, as well as the Mile-High Club Sandwich.
On this particular occasion, I found myself in the mood for breakfast. The options included omelets, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, pancakes and breakfast platters.
Of the four omelet varieties, I chose the Philly Steak Omelet, which I paired with an order of Hash Browns. My friend ordered the daily special — Chopped Steak with Onions, Mushrooms and Green Peppers. He added Sweet Potato Tots and Green Beans as his side dishes.
Other side dish options include House Fries, Crinkle Cut Fries, Seasoned Fries, Cole Slaw, Mashed Potatoes, Peas and Breaded Okra, as well as some Premium Sides (which cost only 50 cents more), including Sweet Potato Fries, Zucchini Chips and Onion Rings.
Meals are made to order, but we only had a brief wait before our entrees and accompanying sides arrived.
I've encountered some bland omelets over the years, but I'm happy to report the Philly Steak Omelet at Olde Courthouse Diner is a flavorful, hearty meal. The omelet is made from three eggs, to which a generous amount of chopped Philly steak has been added, as well as grilled mushrooms, green peppers and onions. The flavors from these ingredients melded seamlessly and made for a delicious omelet.
My friend also enjoyed the Chopped Steak, which was given some extra zest from the medley of grilled onions, mushrooms and peppers.
For basic country cooking, the main dishes we sampled were certainly above average. Some of the side dishes didn't hold up quite as well, but overall we were pleased with our meals.
The dessert options — Carrot Cake, Apple Tarts, Key Lime Pie, Banana Pudding, Chocolate Cheese Cake and Bread Pudding — were quite varied and tempting.
My friend and I asked for two spoons and a serving of the Bread Pudding. This lush dessert, served piping hot, was drizzled with a delectable rum-flavored sauce and provided a great ending for our first visit to Olde Courthouse Diner.
I imagine this fairly new establishment is a welcome addition to Jonesborough dining opportunities. We certainly enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere, some good food and courteous service during our first visit to the Olde Courthouse Diner.
AT A GLANCE: The Olde Courthouse Diner, 109 Courthouse Square, Jonesborough. 913-1000. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday, 8 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday, 6:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Menu items $10.49 and under. Credit cards accepted. Carryout available.

Programs and Centers
The School of Social Sciences hosts a number of Centers. The Sociology Department currently houses The Center for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide. The Sociology Department is also home to the Faculty Writing Program.
The Center for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide
The Center for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide is a non-profit academic institute housed in the Department of Sociology at Sonoma State University. The Center was formally constituted in February 1987 for the purpose of providing education about the origins, nature and consequences of the Holocaust. In recent years, the Center has broadened and expanded its focus to include the study of issues surrounding other historical and modern genocides. The primary activities of the Center have been weekly, public Holocaust Lectures throughout the Spring Semester each year; the development of Holocaust resource materials (publications, videotapes, etc.) for campus, school, and public use; and cooperative efforts with a community-based group, the Alliance for the Study of the Holocaust, to provide Holocaust education in the SSU service area schools. The Center promotes research on Holocaust themes and has also sponsored conferences, teacher training workshops, film series and author presentations. In collaboration with the Schulz Information Center, other regional libraries and the Holocaust Library in San Francisco, it endeavors to maintain and enhance the SSU Holocaust collection.
Faculty Writing Program
The Faculty Writing Program provides a supportive environment for faculty members to receive help with ongoing writing projects.
- Receive help with scholarly writing in a congenial interdisciplinary seminar.
- Learn about fascinating research, innovative teaching, and interdisciplinary connections.
- Review grant proposals, essays, conference papers, chapters, journal manuscripts.
- Revise and resubmit manuscripts, rejected manuscripts, book proposals, keynote and plenary addresses.
The program consists of ongoing seminars that meet every other week to discuss members' scholarly writings in progress. Participants may bring material to the program at any stage of its development. Each member has an opportunity to present a draft of a writing project that other seminar members read, review, and then discuss in an engaging seminar. The seminar experience is collegial and non-competitive and provides a safe environment to explore ideas and to receive thoughtful feedback on early work.
The program director writes detailed comments about each paper, gives editorial and publishing advice, and offers strategies for conducting research and completing scholarly writing projects. We learn about fascinating research, innovative teaching, and interdisciplinary connections. We review grant proposals, essays, conference papers, chapters, journal manuscripts, revise and resubmit manuscripts, rejected manuscripts, book proposals, keynote and plenary addresses. At the request of members, the program offers occasional special seminars on topics concerning scholarly writing, research, and publishing.
New tenure-track faculty members receive first priority, but all faculty members are welcome to participate. Participants may also join a seminar group that has already begun.
Contact Professor Kathy Charmaz, firstname.lastname@example.com about openings.

AUSTIN -- Austin City Council members changed a decades-old rule for Austin's emergency service workers Thursday.
Right now the city ordinance states ambulances can travel 10 miles faster than the posted speed limit on their way to an emergency, but police and fire crews are required to just use their best judgment.
EMS officials say their drivers are trained that way and want the same rules.
On Thursday the council voted to no longer prohibit those driving an ambulance from going more than 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.
The city council also agreed to purchase six new ambulances at a cost of just over $1 million.
