Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

Did you try another graphic mode?
Maybe you need to turn acpi=off.
I'm running off a boot disc, and it goes through all the start up to the point where there is a little x in the middle of the screen, then it just goes on and off with the x and mouse cursor flashing...for a long ass time. The cd works in my friends laptop fine, but not in mine.
Did you try another graphic mode?
Maybe you need to turn acpi=off.
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
I am having the same problem while loading BT3. I have a Vaio VGN-SR290 with an ATI graphics card and as far as I can tell the reason that the cursor keeps flashing and that BT3's gui will not load is because there is no driver support for our graphic cards.
I have currently downgraded to BT2 which is working perfectly on my computer. So, anyone with this display problem take heart in the fact that BT2 will still work for you.
Alright, scratch that whole downgrading idea.
-Instead of starting BT3 up in "BT3 Graphics mode (KDE)" scroll down and choose "BT3 Text mode Frame Buffer"
-Wait a few seconds as those beautiful lines of text parade across your liquid crystals.
-Login in like normal (username: root | password: toor)
-Now simply run "startx" and Backtrack 3 should load up into KDE and you will be able to run around as the scourge of the electronic waters once again.

On Wednesday, Apr 27, South African Google users can see the Freedom Day doodle, which depicts the traditional culture of the African nations. On the new simple and beautiful doodle, Google painted a South African flag and also the brand name 'Google.'
Freedom Day is an annual celebration of South Africa's first non-racial democratic (post-apartheid) elections of 1994. The elections were the first non-racial national elections where everyone of voting age of over 18 from any race group including non-citizens were allowed to vote, no voters roll was used. Previously, under the apartheid regime, non-whites had only limited rights to vote.

"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"I removed the writing so my daughter could stick a photo of her much loved cat on her correspondence. They look beautiful."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"

PPAI Expo Exhibitors Come Through For Needy Schools
Forty-four exhibitors at The PPAI Expo 2013 helped low-income schools in the Las Vegas area by donating their extra samples to the Kids In Need Foundation after the show. A total of 22 pallets with an estimated retail value of $35,265 were collected this year.
The Kids In Need Foundation supports a national network of 29 resource centers that benefit needy schoolchildren by allowing teachers from low-income schools to "shop" for school supplies free of charge. PPAI has been supporting the organization since 2007.
Local staff and volunteers worked for several hours after the show closed to collect all the donated products, which included a variety of items such as candy, mints, umbrellas, stress toys, flashlights, lanyards, mugs, glassware, calendars and books.
"With the continued generosity of participating exhibitors from this year's PPAI Expo, the Kids In Need Foundation collected products that will be distributed to the neediest of children in Las Vegas," says Leslie Walton, manager of gift-in-kind for Kids In Need Foundation, "and we could only do so because of your willingness to share your product donations with us.

The three helplines, which became operational on August 9 at Nirman Bhavan, are being manned by a team of eight doctors from the various government hospitals in the city.
"The questions asked by curious people ranged from the probing to the downright weird. They generally call to find out about the symptoms or how the infection spreads and what preventive measures need to be adopted. "Worried people suffering from cold and fever also call to ask whether they should get themselves tested for Ebola and learn about the treatment for the disease," said a doctor.
According to the doctors, the helplines were flooded with calls when the case of a person arriving from Nigeria with Ebola-like symptoms was reported in the media. Meanwhile, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has reiterated that no confirmed cases of the virus have been reported in India so far.
The Ebola virus has killed nearly 1,000 people in West Africa. India has started screening passengers arriving from West African countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea as a precautionary measure against the virus.

parts cleaning ideas???
what the best way to clean out the inside of a tpi plenum & runners????
I've tried degreeser & a rag
Don't laugh but i also tried:
letting it soak in the bathtub w/ dish washing soap like "Dawn"
lol, i even put it in the dishwasher (hope my 'ol lady don't come home any time soon...heheheh)
and it's still black & gritty on the inside :smash: :mad:
any of ya have any better ideas?? :thumbup:
gasoline :confused: that stuff cleans my greasy parts...just dont light up a smoke. and be very careful.
duhh! why didn't i think of that??
something so simple as gas. you know what? i use that stuff all the time at work to clean the "blackjack" (tar) off of my tools when it gets on 'em. i feel dumb now :embarrass
i would of figured it out when i went to work tom. :D
j :thumbup:
: :nono: You'r going to feel a lot dumber when you bang a couple wrenches together and it explodes in your face. Never use gas for anything but it's intended purpose (smokin tires). :)
Use a little electric contact cleaner to clean your flow sensor. Invest in a 5 gallon pail of regular non flammable parts cleaner for everthing else.
its all apart in pieces i could just pour the gas in it & let it work it's way through all that crud & let it drain.
it shouldn't hurt anything. as long no cig's or flame is around. right? ;)
a tried some "heavy duty engine degreaser" and all that **** on the inside of it just laughed at it :) , it didn't phase it at all
it shouldn't hurt anything. as long no cig's or flame is around. right? ;)
Wrong :( Static from your clothes can set it off. Ever take your coat off and get zapped by the first thing you touch?. Any steel on steel contact can set it off. Ever drop a wrench on a conctete floor in the dark? They spark.Take it from a guy whose been there . Don't use gas for cleaning. Don't store it in an open container. If it's not in your gas tank, don't have it in you shop. Build a small ventilated box to keep it in outside. If gasoline were introduced as a fuel today it would never be approved because of it's highly volatle unstable nature.
:) If the crud is really that bad, get it media blasted, preferably with walnut shell. If you get it glass beaded in the runners, throw it away and buy a new one or scrub the runners with soap and hot water till your arms feel like they're about to fall off, the do it about twice that long again. The beads are killer if they get in your motor. Another thing you could do is get some carb cleaner and scrub with a wire brush. Don't forget eye and skin protection.
Castrol's cleaner does a good job, so does brake cleaner. Best stuff was Hydro Seal carb cleaner by Gunk but you can't buy it anymore, seems it's main ingredient was methylene chloride....... bad stuff.
Everyone that stuck their bare hand in a bucket of it "real quick" to fish out a stray part raise their stump.........
Besides the danger factor.......................gas is too expensive to waste these days. Get some kerosene or fuel oil.....at least it won't blow up in your face.................burns more slowly.
QUOTE]gas is too expensive to waste these days.[/QUOTE]
good point didn't think about that either :thumbup:

Quote:If the attack was a right front kick, you could parry this with your lead left hand and do a cutting kick to the back of the attker's kicking foot just before, or just as it lands...sending the foot to the side to unbalance the attacker.
Quote: The primary difference was that it was used on the attack as the opponent retreated.
Quote:You're right...but why was the guy kicking me? And yes, in practice one can roll the ankle. I have had it done to me...and have done it to others (mucho apologies).
Quote:The point is less to do damage and more to unbalance, using the natural weakness of the stance an attacker might be in.... Once done correctly, the opponent would fall, but even done slightly incorrectly, the opponent's back is exposed and thus allows you time to counter.
Quote:And that sounds fairly nice and polite. But that carrying action can make the attacker's foot roll onto it's side as he lands. Remember that his whole body weight is now coming down on that same 45 degree axis.....*SNAP* goes the ankle.High grip soled shoes or uneven terrain can make that a very painful, debilitating landing for the opponent.
Quote:Full body scissor sweep and leg scissor sweep - everyone is familiar with the leg scissor takedown and the risk involved in pulling it off (since it puts yoursef on the ground before your opponent.)
Quote:When I was in Austria, I learned a type of sweep that could be considered a cross between a cutting kick & a traditional sweep. In fact, it was closer to the cutting kick than a sweep. The primary difference was that it was used on the attack as the opponent retreated.The warning was that the "sweep" couldn't be too high on the leg (upper calf, knee or thigh) because that would constitute an illegal (competition) kick. The point of contact was behind the ankle/Achilles tendon area. It also had to utilize the instep & not any part of the shin... Usually a series of punches that, @ the very least, causes the opponent's attention to focus on the punches as he back-steps. As you advance w/ your hand attack, you slip the sweep in preventing the lead leg to touch down thus making the opponent fall backwards.Now I'll be the first to admit that sweeps are my weak point but I saw a few Austrians do it w/ impressive results.
Quote:MAGon - I totally agree with your post. My response that you quoted was really badly written, I was not commenting on the morality of the move at all. It was meant to be an ironic comment in reference to Brad's comment about the kick "inflicting less damage". Unfortunately, it did not come across that way at all. Again, apologies for the confusion.

While technology can be a great tool to communicate, learn, and socialize, it can also be used in harmful ways, and allow some kids to take bullying from school hallways into cyberspace.

Originally intending to simply raise awareness about bullying at their local South Charleston high school in Ohio, Scott and Tyler ended up leaving a much more significant impact on their community. After their local campaign at their high school peaked in success, the teens were inspired to expand their involvement with the anti-bullying movement and participate in the "Great American No BULL challenge," an...

Orem • Isiah Williams had delivered Utah Valley from the abyss of defeat. At least he thought so.
Yet even as his 30-footer snapped the net, an official had his hand raised, and not in a signal for a 3-point attempt. No, Williams had been ruled to have stepped out of bounds, giving South Dakota a two-point upset victory in the semifinals of last year's Great West Conference tournament on UVU's court.
Despite television replays that revealed the call incorrect, "I felt like I hurt my teammates," the senior guard said. So now the Wolverines, in the midst of a 13-game winning streak, find themselves in the same position. They hold the No. 1 seed and a bye into the semifinals of the upcoming conference tournament to be played at Chicago State.
Has anything else changed from a season ago?
"A lot of us are taking nothing for granted," Williams said with a determined finality. "It was, 'What happened?' Our guys are humble. We're just ready to play and come out a winner."
Although the six-team GWC is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament (seven teams are needed to qualify for at least an at-large bid), Utah Valley (20-10, 9-0) does have a postseason goal, the 24-team CollegeInsider.Com tourney.
Any postseason would be a first for UVU, now in its fourth season as a Division I program, and, according to coach Dick Hunsaker, playing deeper into March is incentive enough.
"That's what everybody plays for," he said. "But no one wants to get caught looking ahead."
With memories of last season's ignominious finish still fresh and one regular-season game at North Dakota remaining on the Wolverines' schedule, no one is looking past the March 9 semifinal with an as-yet-unknown opponent.
"Those people cut down our nets and that was something we didn't enjoy," senior forward Keith Thompson said.
With Chicago State ineligible to play due to low Academic Progress Rate (APR), Utah Valley might have the largest fan base at Chicago State simply because Williams is from Chicago and expects family and friends to sit courtside.
"Last time there I didn't play so well," Williams said with a smile. "Hopefully I can get that out of my head."
For seniors Geddes Robinson, Kevin Woods, Rory Fannon, Thompson and Williams, the opportunity to wash away the disappointment of 2011 remains part of the team's motivation.
"This year there was more respect for the schedule," Hunsaker said. "They're not looking to the future. They're much more focused to the task at hand."
"We're playing good right now," Williams said. "But I think we can do even better."
A closer look
This season, UVU senior Isiah Williams became the fourth player in the school's Division I era to score 1,000 points for a career.
UVU is a back-to-back Great West Conference regular-season champion, having lost one league game in two seasons.
The Wolverines, in their fourth season of D-I play, seek their first postseason bid, to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

In the Service of Others ~ Davie County Equestrian to Lead Special Olympics Team in 2015 World Games
Posted by admin in People, Things To Do, Top Stories on December 15, 2014
Marissa Lee Brzescinski has been selected as the next Head Coach for the 2015 US Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles California. Marissa currently serves as the Head Coach for the Davie County Special Olympics Equestrian Team, and has served previously as the Assistant Coach for Team USA at the 2007 Games in Shanghai, China and the 2011 Games in Athens, Greece. The 2015 World Games will be held in Los Angeles California from July 25th-August 2nd, 2015. For additional information, please visit www.specialolympicsteamusa.org, www.LA2015.org, or www.dixielandfarm.com.
Marissa was introduced to the Special Olympics program shortly after moving to Davie County in 2003. She describes herself as falling in love with the Special Olympics Equestrian program and being "hooked" ever since her first training session with the Davie County team. Marissa coaches at Dixieland Farm in Mocksville, which she owns with her husband, Kris. Many of the horses that the athletes use are owned by Dixieland, where they are trained to work with the needs of the participants.
Special Olympics athletes have taught Marissa the power of the human spirit, to never give up and to truly love what you do. Not a training session or show goes by that she is not blown away by the spirit of camaraderie and the determination that the athletes display. Special Olympics inspires Marissa to try harder, to give more, to extend herself in the service of others and to be an inspiration to those around her. Marissa inspires Special Olympics athletes and their families throughout the year.
The athletes who make up the 2015 Team USA Equestrian team hail from Arizona, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. To qualify for the World Games, athletes must receive a Gold Medal at a State-Level Competition and meet other qualifications.

North Carolina was one of the early pioneers in the Special Olympics Equestrian sports, which became a model for developing the national program. Coach Brzescinski currently serves as an advisor for the NC Sports Development Team for Special Olympics North Carolina, and her athletes regularly compete in local and regional events representing Davie County.
Athletes Bring Courage and a Smile
The games include Dressage, English and Western Equitation, Western Riding, Working Trails, Pole Bending, Barrel Racing, and Team Relays. Marissa adds, at the World Games, "They do not get bring their own horses with them, instead they will have to ride horses assigned to them upon arrival in Los Angeles…horses they have never met and know nothing about. Part of what I love about coaching the World Games athletes is the particular challenge of having to ride an unfamiliar horse. This is something that would NEVER be expected of an Olympic rider or most other riders in any competition, much less an international competition. Yet, these athletes show up and ride whatever horse they're given, with little time to practice or even get to know their mount before having to enter the show ring. Each Athlete does this with courage and a smile!"
Equestrian Training – Life Skills, Drive and Determination
Equestrian sports are highly regarded in Special Olympics competition for the life skills taught and practiced in the training. Special needs athletes with various disabilities are empowered by working with horses and riding. Working with large animals helps the athletes develop coordination, good posture, balance, and body awareness, as well as teaching them to respect nature and how to groom and care for the animals. Marissa feels blessed to be part of the program, "I've learned so much from my athletes; tolerance, strength under pressure, good sportsmanship, perseverance…and try to instill in them not only the skills they need to compete in the sport on the local, state, national and international level, but also the drive and determination to meet each
Dunlop Bringing New Aviation Manufacturing Jobs to Mocksville
Posted by admin in Davie County Economic Development, Mocksville, People, Top Stories on October 24, 2014
British manufacturer Dunlop Aircraft Tyres has selected Mocksville, North Carolina as the site for its first retreading facility in the United States.
The company, the world's only specialist aircraft tire manufacturer and retreader, will use the Mocksville location to boost its competitiveness across the Americas, particularly on popular narrow and wide-bodied jet airliners and military aircraft.
"We plan to create at least 40 jobs within our first two years of operation and there is the prospect of more to follow as we expand our presence in the market," said Dunlop Aircraft Tyres' chairman, Ian Edmondson.
"We have been encouraged by the positive response to our plans by the local community. The site offers good transport links and we are confident that we can find an excellent work force within the Mocksville and Davie County region." The company may begin hiring for these positions sometime after the end of this year. For information on these and other jobs in and around Davie County, please keep an eye on Davie County Jobs.
Mocksville – A Business Friendly Community
According to a report in the Triad Business Journal, another selling point for Dunlop was Mocksville's business friendly atmosphere. Don Moss, a vice president with the Charlotte office of Collier's International, who helped Dunlop with site selection, said the town is "extremely flexible" in helping companies get through the permitting process. "I will say that they are one of the more flexible communities in the Carolinas and Virginia that I work with," Moss said of Mocksville. "That's really kind of a unique story for the town."
James Stockert, who works with the Davie County Economic Development Commission said: "Like all economic development wins bringing new jobs into Davie County, this win was the result of many people in our community working together to make things happen. "We are grateful that Dunlop Aircraft Tyres sees Davie County as a great location with a prepared workforce and has chosen to bring good jobs to our community."
The Hollingsworth Companies and Mocksville – A Winning Formula for Success
90% of all companies seeking a new location are looking for an existing building to move into. While some communities have taken public funds to compete with developers, Davie County has taken the opposite approach of supporting private sector efforts and partnering with private developers rather than competing with them.
SouthPoint Business Park, located just north of Interstate 40 on US highway 601 is an example of this approach. Owned and developed by site-selection expert Joe Hollingsworth and the Hollingsworth Companies, SouthPoint provides Davie County with high-quality class A building inventory. This is an advantage that every community and every economic developer would love to have.
SouthPoint is a natural choice for logistics and includes major regional warehouses. The secret is that it has also become a superb location for light manufacturing. Workforce development efforts by the Davie Campus of Davidson County Community College, a strong work ethic rooted in an agricultural history, and people who would rather work close to home than drive into an urban area have all contributed to the high productivity that is part of the park's success. Companies like Amarr Garage Doors, Metal Sales Corporation, Gesipa USA and Comfort-Bilt Windows and Doors now call Davie County home.
According to Davie County Economic Development Commission President Terry Bralley, "Our partnership with The Hollingsworth Companies means that we have an inventory of available buildings and permitted lots for people who don't have time to waste. Further, we are blessed with a developer like Joe Hollingsworth who is flexible enough to lease, sell, or provide equity capital for companies locating in our community."
"We continue to be bullish on Davie County and have purchased additional land for future growth, said Chip Sisk, senior vice president and industrial real estate director for The Hollingsworth Companies; "This is a low cost, labor-rich community with a pro-business mindset on an interstate highway. And that's a winning formula for business success."

Daniel Boone Family Festival This Saturday will Dish up Food, Fun, Music and a Heapin' Helpin' of History
Posted by admin in Davie County Chamber of Commerce, People, Things To Do, Top Stories on April 28, 2014
Free Community Event! 10 AM to 9 PM
On Saturday, May 3, Historic Davie will host the Daniel Boone Family Festival in Historic Downtown Mocksville. Featuring craftsmen, merchants, educational tours, historic re-enactors, food vendors, and live music, there's something for everyone at the all-day event which kicks off at 10 AM.
The festival originated as a way to celebrate the wedding anniversary of Daniel and Rebecca Boone, and for its first two iterations it was held in August (the couple married on August 14, 1756). But the summer heat made for a long day so Historic Davie moved the celebration to May.
Retrace the Steps of Daniel Boone, the Revolutionary War, Historic Homes and More!
Daniel Boone spent nearly 25 years in the Yadkin Valley area, and two of the three tours revolve around landmarks associated with the Boone clan. The big attraction for Boone buffs are the tours that run at 10:15 AM, 12:30 PM, and again at 2:15 PM. Tours are $5 and are provided by bus or van.
Tours include stops at historic Joppa Cemetery, where Daniel's parents Squire and Sarah Boone and his brother Israel are buried (Israel's grave is the oldest in the cemetery); the Boone Tract at Bear Creek, a 640-acre parcel of land granted to Squire Boone in 1753 and later sold to his son Daniel; the Daniel Boone Marker in Farmington; and nearby Pudding Ridge, where General Cornwallis crossed Dutchman Creek in pursuit of Nathanael Greene (Cornwallis named the area for the thick mud in the area his troops had to march through).
Another tour departing at 11:45 AM also visits Joppa Cemetery, Bear Creek, and the Boone Tract in addition to tours of the Jesse A. Clement House (built in 1828) and Historic Center Arbor, constructed as a site for "camp meetings" during the Third Great Awakening in 1876.
The last tour, which departs at 1:15 PM, takes visitors to the River Park at the Bull Hole, Veach's Muster Ground, Revolutionary War hero Richmond Pearson's grave site, and the Historic Zachary Holt House and Village Museum of Cooleemee, both of which have exhibits centered around the area's once-booming textile industry.
Rounding out the historic flavor of the festival will be the presence of Fort Dobbs re-enactors (Fort Dobbs was the site of a battle between settlers and Cherokee warriors in 1760.)
Music all day at Junker's Mill Outdoor Theater – capped off by The Mountain Heart Band at 6:45 PM
Music fans will want to head over to Junker's Mill Outdoor Theatre to check out the bluegrass music of Tommy Chandler at 1 PM, the Johnny Cash tribute band Folsom Prison Gang at 3:30, the rockin' country sounds of Tony Bailey at 5:00 PM, and the Nashville headliner, Mountain Heart Band at 6:45 PM.
All of the performances are free of charge, but those wishing to enjoy an "adult beverage" will have to purchase a wristband for $5.00.
Vendor Applications and Additional Information
To learn more about the amenities and activities that will be on hand, head over to the official Daniel Boone Family Festival and Spring Auction web site, or call Tami Langdon at 336-909-2263 (you can also call the Davie County Chamber of Commerce at 336-751-3304.

Davie County Vineyards: Ideal Complement for the Holidays
Posted by admin in Davie County Chamber of Commerce, People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories, Vineyards on December 21, 2013
Do you still need to buy for a Christmas gift for someone but loathe the thoughts of facing the throngs at a massive shopping mall or wandering around a big-box outlet hoping to find inspiration on its sterile shelves?
There's no need to panic. Just head to one of Davie County's wineries and pick up a bottle of wine or two for the yet-to-be-gifted adults on your shopping list. The diversity of offerings means you're sure to find something to please their palate, and the soothing, pastoral settings of the vineyards that can be seen from the tasting rooms will give you a chance to cool your jets during this sometimes frantic time of year.
A couple of tips before you make your grape escape from the holiday crowds. If possible, try to find out what food the wine will accompany. Opinions vary, of course, but generally speaking a Pinot Noir or Syrah goes well with turkey, Malbec or Merlot are great matches for prime rib, and a stronger red such as Cabernet is called for with lamb. And as more than one critic has pointed out, you can almost never go wrong with a sparkling wine because the sound of the cork being popped is a siren call for celebration.
There's one other advantage to following our advice: by shopping at these wineries, you'll also be investing in Davie County, where many of you live and work. Every dollar spent in Davie County will help grow the community and give your friends and neighbors a chance to prosper in the coming year.
With that in mind, here's a look at some of the spots you'll want to check out.
RayLen Vineyards & Winery
3577 Highway 158, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 11AM – 6PM Monday-Saturday, Closed Sundays
Open Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve 11AM – 3PM, Closed Christmas and New Year's Day
If you're looking for the broadest selection of wines from which to choose, head to RayLen Vineyards and Winery in Mocksville. Established by Joseph and Joyce Neely in 2000 and named after their daughters, Rachel and Helen, RayLen's production is headed up by longtime vintner Steve Shepard. RayLen produced just 2500 cases of five types of wines that first year; a dozen years later, production had soared by over 300 percent and now comprises 16 different varieties. The rapid expansion didn't come up at the expense of quality, but rather because of it. RayLen has racked up numerous state and regional awards and is renowned as one of the top wineries in the Southeast.
If the large selection has you uncertain what wine to select, try one of RayLen's wine flights, which gives you the opportunity to sample from a broad array of offerings. Both the Red Flight (six wines) and the White Flight (seven wines) are just $6.00, while the Complete Flight is $10.00 and comprises just about everything RayLen produces.
Besides producing top-notch wine, RayLen also hosts open houses, music festivals, and is available for private events such as weddings or birthday parties. Visit the Web site to learn more and sign up as a member of the "Cellar Club" to have wines delivered to your home on a regular basis.
Misty Creek Vineyards
710 Wyo Road
Mocksville, NC 27028
Tasting Room Hours: 4PM – 8PM Fridays, 10AM – 8PM Saturdays, 2PM – 6PM Sundays
Nestled a couple of miles off Farmington Road between Huntsville and Farmington is Misty Creek Vineyards, producers of numerous award-winning wines since 2001. But owner Barry Nichols, who enjoyed a 30-plus-year career in the aerospace industry, has been involved with wines much longer than that: he first started working with the fruit of the vine the same year that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Now, he and wife Kathy oversee the production of five varietals (four reds, one white) and two blends (Barrel House Blend and Misty Rose).
But while it's the wines that will bring you out Misty Creek, it's the welcoming atmosphere that's likely to keep you coming back. The winery is both family- and pet-friendly, and Barry encourages visitors to bring their own food—there's a grill available for cooking—and enjoy a bottle of their prize-winning Chardonnay or Chambourcin at the outdoor pavilion that overlooks a pond in the midst of the vineyard. Or just stop by and try the Misty Creek Flight featuring samples of all seven wines for just $5.
Like RayLen, Misty Creek hosts special events throughout the year centered around food, music, artisans, and activities. Keep an eye on the event calendar to see what's in store in the coming months.
Garden Gate Vineyards
261 Scenic Drive, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 12 Noon to 5PM Wednesday-Saturday
While North Carolina's reputation as winemaking state has soared over the past decade, there's no question that vintners here face special challenges when trying to make European-style varietals. But Garden Gate Vineyards' owners Sonya and Bob Whitaker have come up with a solution: creating wines using local fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, as well as relying on indigenous grapes like the Scuppernong and Muscadine.
Grown without pesticides, all Garden Gate's wines are priced at $12 bottle (a free bottle is thrown in when you purchase a case). In addition to its fruity wines and Scuppernong and Muscadine, the Whitakers have recently added a Zinfandel and a Merlot to the roster, along with a Sangria (based on the strawberry wine) and a specialty run called "Jitterbug." Starting to feel the nip of winter? Sample the warm, soothing Dragonfly Wassail the Whitakers created for the holidays.
Those unfamiliar with fruity or sweeter wines will appreciate the fact Garden Gate offers free tastings, and everyone will enjoy the small winery's friendly atmosphere. Get directions and learn more about the nutritional benefits of Muscadine grapes at Garden Gate's little nook on the Web.
Lazy Elm Vineyard & Winery
523 Danner Road, Mocksville
Tasting Room Hours: 12 Noon to 5PM, Saturday and Sunday
One of the newest arrivals on the Davie County wine scene is Lazy Elm Vineyard and Winery. The five-and-a-half-acre vineyard sits on a 43-acre farm in Mocksville about a mile east of Highway 601.
For its initial lineup, Lazy Elm has been purchasing grapes from a Surry County vineyard located within the Yadkin Valley American Viticultural Area to create three reds and a rose; it also has been producing a sweet apple wine. Last year marked its first plantings in the vineyard: Montepulciano, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre, and Malbec comprise the lineup of reds and Vermentino, a variety used in Italian wines, will be the flagship white wine.
While the tasting room is currently open only on weekends, you can also call to set up a time to stop by during the week. Just bring a couple of glasses and perhaps a picnic lunch, then grab a bottle of wine and relax in a peaceful setting. Find out more about Lazy Elm and keep up to date on their upcoming varietals by heading to their Web site.
WXII News Spotlights Davie County's Hidden Charms
Posted by admin in Cooleemee, Davie County Chamber of Commerce, Davie County Economic Development, Davie County Schools, Mocksville, People, Places to Eat, Things To Do, Top Stories on December 18, 2013
For the past couple of years, the big news out of Davie County has been economic development. Big names such as Ashley Furniture and Wake Forest Baptist Health, Ingersoll Rand, Avgol and more have invested millions of dollars in new facilities in the county, and smaller firms like Carolina Precision Plastics and Pro Refrigeration have set up shops offering good-paying jobs at a time when employers are extremely picky about where they'll locate.
But when WXII News 12 paid an all-day visit to Historic Downtown Mocksville this past December 11th, they weren't there to cover a business opening or a groundbreaking ceremony for a new business. Instead, the number-one news team in the Piedmont Triad was there to "Celebrate Davie," with a special focus was on the people and places that make Davie County uniquely appealing to residents and visitors alike.
Longtime nighttime news anchor Cameron Kent took viewers to Cooleemee for a trip down to The Bullhole, an eye-catching waterfall on the Yadkin River that generations have relished as a prime swimming and fishing spot, then peeked into the area's past with a report on Lake Hideaway. The man-made lake, fronted by a beach created with sand hauled in from the North Carolina Coast, was the gathering spot for Davie County teens in the 1950s and early 1960s, but decades after closing its charms are found only in memories.
History buffs were treated to a report on Joppa Cemetery, final resting place for legendary frontiersman Daniel Boone's parents Squire and Sarah Boone and his brother Israel.
Chief meteorologist Lanie Pope traded in her maps and charts for mixing bowls, eggs, and flour at Ketchie Creek Bakery and Cafe in Mocksville. While Pope's creations were passable, you'll probably want to visit when the regular team is whipping up its signature Five-Flavor Pound Cake, which Our State magazine described as a "symphony of flavors." But who knows—you might get to taste the bakery's wares at a wedding at WinMock at Kinderton, a 1920s-era dairy barn that was converted into a a rustic yet tasteful special-events center in 2011.
At the end of the day, though, it's the folks of Davie County that make it such a special place to live, work, and play. Morning news anchor Kimberly Van Scoy introduced Seth Grooms, a hugely successful Special Olympian and a fixture at Davie County High School football games—so much so that he was named an honorary member of the team. In fact, Grooms is so beloved in Davie County he was named marshal of the town's 2012 Christmas parade. Emma Slabach stopped by the WXII studios to show off her special talent: the 13-year-old is a cup-stacking champion and has competed in evens sanctioned by the World Sport Stacking Association.
And even when the news team visited one of Davie County's most successful enterprises, the focus was on the people more than on the product. Trailers of the East Coast, which provides trailers for many NASCAR teams and for major national companies like FedEx and Walt Disney Corporation, goes back three generations, when Ted Junker bought an appliance and hardware store in Mocksville. Today, his son Bill and Bill's sons Clint and Will run the business—and nine grandchildren stand ready to join the Trailers of the East Coast team at some point.
Of course, there are far too many hidden charms and smiling faces in Davie County to be covered even in an all-day TV broadcast—which is another way of saying you should take time to make a visit. Visit the Davie County Chamber of Commerce, Facebook and Twitter pages for a list of events, businesses, attractions, and more.
Once again, thank you to the entire team at WXII News 12 for picking a day to "Celebrate Davie."
Christmas Tour Will Brighten Your Spirits This Saturday
Posted by admin in Cooleemee, People, Things To Do, Top Stories on December 13, 2013
Enjoy splendid hospitality, beautiful decorations and humble fellowship as Cooleemee opens its arms during its Christmas Tour of Homes on Saturday, December 14, 2013 from 11 am through 4 pm.
Eight homes, including six homes that have witness more than a hundred years of history, five historic churches each with unique architectural flourishes, and two museums with guided tours will be stops on the tour. Proceeds from the $10 tickets will go toward the drive to create a new Splash and Swim Center in Cooleemee.
"When the cotton mill was established back in 1899," says tour coordinator Hellen Daywalt, "they built houses for their employees. Some were for the hands and some were for the boss men. All were built with real wood and they were made to last. Farmers, like the Byerly family on Davie Street where my daughter now lives, came from the country to work in the mill and brought their traditions with them."
Today, these homes and the mill still stand and Cooleemee people want to share their hope for the future with others during the Christmas season. Each stop will have their own unique story to tell. The Stroud-Davis-Vogler House on the corner of Marginal Street and Gladstone Road, for example, is said to have been an overnight stop for Thomas Edison on his way to the North Carolina mountains.
At the Mill House Museum, visitors will get a glimpse of how mill hands' families would have celebrated Christmas in the early 1930s with a cedar Christmas tree and a sumptuous spread of country ham, sausage, coconut cake, pies, oranges, stick candy and other goodies on the kitchen table near the old wood cook stove.
Tickets for the tour can be purchased in advance in Cooleemee at Town Hall, Village Auto and the Zachary House. Also, tickets can be purchased in Mocksville at the Davie Chamber of Commerce. They may be purchased the day of the event at the Zachary House. Once you have a ticket and your map you may begin at any tour stop. For more information, please call Hellen Daywalt at 284-4339 or John Chandler at 284-2141.
"iShopDavie Days" Puts Local Businesses In The Holiday Spotlight
Posted by admin in Davie County Chamber of Commerce, People, Things To Do, Top Stories on November 27, 2013
Everyone loves a great deal during the holiday shopping season, and the Davie County Chamber of Commerce has come up with one that truly can be described as the gift that keeps on giving.
iShopDavie Days November 29 – December 1
At its first meeting this November, the Davie County Board of Commissioners announced it was officially designating the three days immediately following Thanksgiving this year—November 29 through December 1—as "iShopDavie Days." The goal of the program? To encourage all Davie County residents to do their shopping at Davie County businesses during that period.
Given the headaches involved with traveling to large urban centers for Christmas shopping—tangled traffic, scarce parking, interminable checkout lines—iShopDavie should have instant appeal for the county's 40,000-plus residents. But as Davie Chamber of Commerce president Carolyn McManamy points out, there's another incentive: shopping where you live is like giving a present to your friends, neighbors, and even yourself. "When we choose to purchase goods and services in the community where we live, pay taxes and send our children to school, we are investing in the well-being of our community and also creating a more prosperous place to live," says McManamy.
And recent economic studies indicate it really is an investment: A report called "Local Works" by Civic Economics reveals that shopping at a locally owned pharmacy, for instance, injects 77 percent more into the local economy than shopping at a major chain pharmacy, while dining at locally owned restaurants provides a 52 percent advantage over eating at national chains.
But iShopDavie Days isn't meant to focus just on locally owned businesses. ""We want people to use all of our businesses," McManamy says. "Some of them are big boxes, some of them may be large manufacturers, but you can support them by buying the products that they make."
Davie Chamber Smartphone App Helps Shoppers Save

Another Davie County Business is Expanding – Trailers of the East Coast
Posted by admin in Davie County Economic Development, People, Top Stories on October 28, 2013
Thanks to a loyal customer base, business is growing at Trailers of the East Coast and they are expanding to better meet customers' needs. Trailers of the East Coast is adding 80,000 square feet (2 acres) to their location adjacent to Interstate 40 in Mocksville, NC bringing the total space to 10 acres.
Expanding for a better shopping experience
Trailers of the East Coast stocks hundreds of dump and utility trailers, horse and stock trailers, open and enclosed cargo trailers, car haulers, toy haulers, vending trailers, trucks and motor homes. This additional space will help improve the positioning and display of inventory for the best possible shopping experience for customers.
Expanding for a better service experience
As one of the oldest and largest trailer dealers in the Eastern US, the Trailers of the East Coast service department works with customers from across the nation. This additional space will allow the service department m to improve service by improving the positioning of service units and work-flow through the service department.
Expanding for better value
This expansion will help Trailers of the East Coast run a more efficient operation by providing additional space for work flow management. An efficient, low cost operation helps provide the best value to the customer. The customer who receives the best value for their dollar will be a return customer and will tell others about their experience, ultimately improving the bottom line.
Relationships drive success
Excellent service and consistently high quality work doesn't simply happen by accident. Ask Bill Junker how he was able to expand so rapidly in the face of several economic downturns, and he points back to some core values that should be at the heart of any business, particularly in the retail and service sectors.
"Life is about relationships," he says. "It's about helping one another and being fair to people. When Trailers of the East Coast moved to our current location on Interstate Drive in Mocksville in 1997 we had 10 employees. By 2002 we had grown to a workforce of 18 employees. Over the last 10 years, employment at Trailers of the East Coast has more than doubled again and today Trailers of the East Coast has 43 full time employees serving customers across the US."
The formula for success for Trailers of the East Coast has been simple, "Provide the customer with a good product at a fair price and give them service after the sale – it works."
Hundreds of State and Local Leaders Honor NC Rep Julia Howard
Posted by admin in Davie County Economic Development, People, Top Stories on October 21, 2013
The N.C. League of Municipalities (NCLM ) last week awarded Representative Julia Howard its Community Champion Award for her work on behalf of cities and towns. Representative Howard was on hand at the league's annual conference in Hickory to accept the award.
In addition to the hundreds of League officials in attendance at the conference, also present to see Rep. Howard accept her award were her former House colleague and current Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry, current N.C. Representative Andy Wells, former N.C. Representative and current Senior Advisor to the Office of the Secretary of the N.C. Department of Health & Human Services Pearl Burris-Floyd, and current and former members of the Town of Mocksville Town Council, including Rep. Howard's daughter, Amy Vaughan-Jones. Other local attendees included, Mocksville Mayor Pro-Tem, Will Marklin, Commissioners Richard Broadway and Lash Sanford, Mocksville Town Manager Christine Bralley, Davie County Economic Development President Terry Bralley and previous Town Commissioner Lee Rollins, Bermuda Run Town Manager.
Representative Julia Howard ~ Effective and Tireless Advocate
Rep. Howard is a former member of the Mocksville Town Council who is now her in her 13th term in the N.C. House of Representatives. As the Senior Chairman of the House Finance Committee this year, Rep. Howard saw a number of issues of importance to cities and towns come through her committee. On tax reform, Rep. Howard was instrumental in ensuring that the House did not accept a Senate proposal that would have eventually cost municipalities nearly $165 million in revenue annually. Instead, the final tax reform package actually provides increased revenues for cities and towns.
Ronnie Wall, Mayor of the City of Burlington and the League's 1st Vice President, presented Rep. Howard with her award. In doing so, Wall said, "Rep. Howard has been a tireless advocate on behalf of cities and towns, especially on three vital issues this year: the tax reform issues, our transitional hold harmless issues, and the municipal impact of the unemployment insurance and benefits changes. She is always very open to discussing the issues at hand. As the only organization representing all of North Carolina's cities and towns, the League membership wishes to thank Rep. Howard for her work on behalf of municipalities."
In accepting her award, Rep. Howard told the hundreds of municipal officials in attendance that her service at the local level continues to inform her work as a State Representative. "This really touches my heart," Rep. Howard said, "because I never forget where I came from and I never forget who sent me here."
The League's Community Champion Award is presented to legislators who go out of their way to work with municipal officials and the League to ensure that municipal interests are represented and respected in the legislative process. This year, the League's Executive Committee voted unanimously to present the award to Rep. Howard.
About the North Carolina League of Municipalities
For more than 100 years, the North Carolina League of Municipalities has promoted – and continues to promote – good government by offering non-partisan advocacy, insurance and other services — as directed by its membership.
50 Years of Educating and Empowering Students ~ DCCC to Feature Guest Speaker Dr. Ben Carson
Posted by admin in Davie County Chamber of Commerce, Davie County Economic Development, Davie County Schools, People, Things To Do, Top Stories on September 26, 2013
Dr. Ben Carson – renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, storyteller, and author – will be the centerpiece of the DCCC 50th anniversary celebration in Davie County as they celebrate 50 years of educating and empowering students.
On Tuesday, October 1, 2013, Dr. Carson will be speaking on "Pursuing Excellence, for Healthcare, Education, and our Future" at WinMock at Kinderton in the town of Bermuda Run. DCCC and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center are co-hosting his visit.
Dr. Carson on Success: "Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next." -Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story
Dr. Carson often speaks and writes inspiringly, about overcoming life's difficulties which can become a barricade keeping us from our dreams. As a child, he overcame poverty, anger, and poor study habits to fulfill his dream of being a physician. He credits his mother with teaching him how to work hard when everyone else around him was playing. He attributes his present dedication to learning, to the fact that she required reading and essays from him regularly. She simply decided that he would have the education that she lacked.
He soon found that reading books fired his imagination and taught him how much there was in the world to learn. In spite of the odds, Ben Carson labored to become a well-educated and much honored surgeon who has accomplished amazing things in his field.
The thread of a theme can be seen in his various writings and heard when he speaks. It is that the choices we make every day will affect the course our lives take. We must determine that our disadvantages will not define us and our misfortunes will not hinder us from reaching our goals.
"Here is the treasure chest of the world – the public library, or a bookstore." ― Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence
Dr. Carson is a true role model who lives to give back to others. In his writing, he has shared with the world the philosophy that has helped him overcome great difficulty and accomplish incredible things. Although he has experienced personal success, he is compassionate and humanitarian. He is continually striving to share his knowledge as a teacher, to pass on his inspiration through his writings and to pass on his love for knowledge through his scholarship programs and through funding Carson Reading Rooms.
"Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward." – Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

Leigh & Anthony - Wedding Highlight Video by Shutter Speed Productions
Leigh and Anthony had quite possibly one of the most elegant and fabulously put together weddings we've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Not that all of our weddings aren't amazing, but this one really took my breath away. The ceremony was held at Old St Marys Church in Detroit. Walking in the door, I was just in awe and didn't even know where to begin shooting. I literally had to stand still and just take it all in. The reception was held at The Colony Club which we've heard wonderful things about but never had the pleasure of shooting there until now. It did not disappoint. It was amazing in every way. The staff was wonderful, we have never had a staff introduce themselves upon our arrival and let us know there were there if we needed them. What? Amazing people and venue all around. Leigh and Tony were so wonderful to work with, as well as two of the most energetic and happy people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. You could tell how absolutely over the moon Leigh was to be marrying Tony.

Target: Malala Yousafzai, activist for women's rights and education
Goal: Support Malala's efforts to raise $500 million to provide an education to Syrian refugees.
A year ago, Malala Yousafzai seized international headlines after the Taliban attempted to assassinate her for advocating for girls' education. Following her recovery from a bullet wound to the head, this young woman continues to fight for what she believes in and has accrued global recognition. The purpose of this petition is to commend Malala for fearlessly moving forward with her mission to provide education to children in need, specifically the Syrian refugees she is now focusing on.
Malala is on a mission to raise 500 million dollars to help provide education to 300,000 Syrian refugees who have fled to Lebanon, fearing for their lives. With Syria's civil war raging since 2011, millions of people have been displaced, and Malala is seeking to help however she can. She is collaborating with the organization, A World at School, which currently works to provide education to children all over the world, from Bangladesh, to Haiti, to Pakistan. Through their combined efforts, the hope is that they will able to make a difference.
gravityform id="1″ name="Sign the Petition:"]
Dear Ms. Malala Yousafzai:
Your bravery has been an inspiration for thousands (perhaps even millions) of people throughout the world. The recognitions you have received have been well-deserved: a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, the National Youth Peace Prize, Harvard's Humanitarian Award, the Mother Teresa Memorial Award, and the Clinton Foundation's Global Citizen Award. All at age 16. However, what is even more impressive than the accolades that you have received are the endeavors you continue to pursue.
After the hardship that you have endured, it is inspiring to see that you have not lost your passion for the causes that you stand for. It is incredible to see you look outside the issues that plague your home country, and to try to help children in a completely different part of the world. The collaboration that you and A World at School will be engaging in has high hopes for a successful outcome. A World at School has the experience, resources and connections to fruitfully educate Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, you are able to bring an emotional dimension that resonates with people. Through your combined efforts, the goal of raising $500 million to educate Syrian refugee children is achievable. This petition supports that ambition.

Pacific hits back at EU farm deal
Countries around the Pacific rim are up in arms over agriculture subsidies, and their opposition could spell trouble for a European deal on aid for the continent's own farmers that is just days old.
In order to settle a row which threatened the European Union's expansion plans, its 15 member states agreed on a slow phasing out from 2007 through 2013.
That matches last year's watered-down plans for World Trade Organisation talks, which promised "reductions with a view towards phasing out" the payoffs - weakened largely on EU insistence.
But that is not good enough for the 21 economies at this week's Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) forum meeting in Mexico, who have called for the "abolition of all forms of export subsidies".
Given that the deadline for completing the current round of WTO talks is 1 January 2005, there is choppy water ahead.
Subsidies? What subsidies?
The picture is not quite as clear-cut as it might seem.
While the EU is the world leader in farming export subsidies, paying out billions each year, a number of Apec countries have other ways of making life easier for the agriculture business.
In the US, for example, export subsidies only come to about $15m a year. But there are still billion-dollar support payments for specific crops and regions, which the Bush administration promised earlier this year to hike by as much as $60bn over the next ten years.
And in South Korea and Japan, rice farmers, a politically powerful lobby, are heavily subsidised, while imports are limited to keep domestic prices high.
Time up
Even so, the Apec economies are keen to find new export markets - and can talk a good game since opening up agriculture is a hot-button issue for developing countries in general.
The Apec joint statement pushes for the EU to give ground before March 2003, the deadline to come up with a basic framework for the WTO farm talks.
In US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick's words, the statement is a call "from the 21 economies to the major agricultural export subsidizer, the EU, to say it's time to step forward" and cut a deal.

For both modeists and traditionalists alike - Terrazzo is a group of densely woven, borderless rugs hand tufted from 100% hard-twist wool featuring a number of pleasing colors in floral motifs treated with a special wash for a vintage look and feel.
Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.

Here she is, a wonderful vintage head vase. This lovely vintage head vase is 5 3/4" tall.

pearl necklace, she has luscious red lips, long black eyelashes. Her hand is in an upturned position. She has a blue hat and dress.

Can anyone tell me what these drill bit accessories are?
does anyone know about drill bits know what these 3 red things in the middle of the case are for (look like wire nuts)
If they arent wire nuts then my guess would be they are bit holders to use by hand.
1 Attachment(s)
They are hole saws and are attached to the arbor to the left.
The hole saw arbor is the right of the saws just above the countersink bit. I think he wants to know about the red bits to the left and below the hole saws.
It is hard to tell from this pic, but most cases I have seen like this have bit holders on the flathead bits.
I'll guess (and it's a guess) they might be some sort of drill bushing, but whatever they are I'm sure my 5 year old would love to throw them around until they got lost forever.
Forty bucks for all that stuff? Must be high quality! Jack's Tool Shed - right?:)
Those little red things are listed in the add as accessories so I guess they are accessories.:):):)
