The Spa Date
The Spa Date is a relationship retreat service offered in highend hotels and spas. The idea is to focus on revealing and celebrating the connection between any two people in a relationship, and to bring out the best parts of the relationship. Just as a spa can massage the body, The Spa Date can pamper your relationship, too, as you reveal, reflect and revitalize with our new, cutting-edge service. Creator Ashley Howe and her team of professionals take you through a set of specially crafted questions inspired by therapeutic models designed to bring deeper value and a fresh insight to your relationships. This is a fun and entertaining hour that embraces the best of you. Imagine a time that takes you back to all that you fell in love with, all that you admire, all that you do well, and all that you have learned about the other. A getaway is a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the positives and build a stronger foundation for your future.
Engaged couples, married couples, friends, mothers and daughters, or any two people who care about the well-being of their relationship.
We would like "The Spa Date" to be part of the logo. The logo should be soothing, fun, positive, fresh, and invoke a spa like feeling. No hearts in the design please. Any other design, lettering, or colors that reach this esoteric feeling will be most welcomed.

"X disability is worse than yours."
Really? And you know this…how?
Let me tell you something: Don't try to measure the "badness" of shit you have never experienced. Don't try to tell me how my own experiences measure up against someone else's experience.
Contrary to what you might think, those of us with disabilites don't sit around and compare our struggles in some sort of pissing contest.
Don't you dare try to impose that on us.
We have enough to deal with. We get enough crap from TABs already.
I couldn't even try to compare my epilepsy with someone else's disability. Not even if they also had epilepsy-and a friend of mine does. Our experiences are different. Our treatments are different. It has impacted our lives in different ways. None of those differences mean that she has it worse than I do, or that I have it worse than she does.
We've bonded because of our mutual understanding, something that an able-bodied person could never have.
You can tell us nothing.
Check your privilege sometime, before I seize all over you.

Just in time for the New Year, we are introducing #TeamBlackBerry to the newest BlackBerry® smartphone operating system. Today, we're very excited to announce the launch of the new BlackBerry® 7.1 OS, which has been built to make discovering new things – and sharing those discoveries with friends, family, and colleagues – easier than ever before. Plus, we've updated a number of other apps that you already know and love, like BBM™, BlackBerry® Traffic™, and BlackBerry® Travel™. With intuitive and intelligent BlackBerry apps and the new 7.1 OS we're taking your BlackBerry experience to the next level!
The BlackBerry 7.1 OS update will begin rolling out from carriers around the world beginning today and over the coming weeks, and offers some great new features that we wanted to highlight here:
- Mobile Hotspot: Turn your BlackBerry 7.1 OS device into a Wi-Fi® router anywhere, anytime! The new OS seamlessly provides Internet access for up to five Wi-Fi devices, including laptops and tablets.
- Universal Search: For this new release, we wanted to focus on the intelligence of our system and our apps – in other words, we wanted to create an intuitive experience that does the thinking for you. For example, Universal Search now has a new auto-suggest feature that that intelligently filters Bing® search results to offer you a variety of relevant Web sites based on your search terms.
- BlackBerry® Tag: Share contacts, media and files, and even invite friends to BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM) through a simple touch. BlackBerry Tag unlocks near field communication (NFC) capabilities for everyday use and makes sharing a lot faster and much more personal.
- Wi-Fi® Calling (where available): With BlackBerry 7.1 OS, you'll be able to make Wi-Fi calls using your carrier's Wi-Fi calling service (aka UMA-lite or GAN-lite). Wi-Fi calling allows you to save your talk time minutes and make phone calls over any Wi-Fi network. Not all carriers offer such a service so check with your carrier for availability.
- FM Radio: The BlackBerry 7.1 OS update will let BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 and 9380 smartphone customers enjoy FM radio. The Curve models include a built-in FM radio so you can tune in to local FM radio stations. Simply plug in your headset to boost the reception (it acts as the antenna). Plus, no data usage or data plan required!
- BlackBerry® Maps:
When you launch the new BlackBerry Maps you'll be able to discover special offers, coupons and discounts from nearby vendors – and, of course, you can act instantly by calling about the deal, finding the best route to get there, or grabbing the coupon code.
But that's not all the surprises we have in store for you today – along with the new OS update, we've also released updates to a number of other popular BlackBerry smartphone apps! We're continuously taking steps to enhance your social experiences on your BlackBerry smartphone. We are making the apps you know and love even more intelligent and intuitive with upgrades to help you manage your daily tasks or plan for your next big adventure.
Here's what we've got for you:
BBM is now 6.1
It's the BBM you know and love, taking your social experience to a whole new level. Now with BlackBerry Tag integration, you can invite a friend to BBM by simply tapping your NFC enabled BlackBerry smartphones against each other. Also, by popular request from our BBM community, we've added more ways to personalize your messages and your profile. BBM 6.1 is now out of beta, so check out our BBM 6.1 blog post for an in-depth look at the newest features.
Are you a frequent flier or avid traveler? The updated BlackBerry Travel app virtually plans your trips for you, from airport pick up and drop off to accommodations and scheduling. You'll be able to find deals on hotel and car rental options, or arrange for limo service to and from an airport. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that the BlackBerry Travel app will quickly notify you if your flight is delayed or cancelled, and that it can help you find a new flight right away. No matter where you do your booking, the automatic trip scanning feature can pull your trip details into the app, so you don't have to. See all your travel updates in one place as they happen, and don't worry about double and triple checking your itinerary; if you've missed anything, BlackBerry Travel will let you know!
Getting where you want to just got easier with the new update of BlackBerry Traffic. The updated app now provides you with turn-by-turn voice guidance so figuring out how to get there is easy and hands free. BlackBerry Traffic provides you with your route and your estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on current traffic conditions – right on your BlackBerry smartphone.
So as you can see, we've got a whole bundle of goodies ready for #TeamBlackBerry to enjoy. We're confident that this collection of intelligent apps will help you connect with your fellow BlackBerry smartphone users, because life is better when it's shared in real time.
For more information and to download the new versions of BBM, BlackBerry Traffic and BlackBerry Travel visit BlackBerry App World and don't forget to leave us a comment and let us know what you think about BlackBerry 7.1 OS and the new app updates!
For those of you attending this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) come visit the BlackBerry booth (South Hall 3 Booth # 30326) to see these new updates and more firsthand!

LeBron James announced last night that he would leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join Miami Heat. Cleveland was disappointed, upset, and then angry. The Cavs' majority owner Dan Gilbert called the decision a "cowardly betrayal." This issue of loyalty reminds me of a survey done by market research company Ipsos back in March.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll asked more than 1,000 Americans to consider 29 categories of people, organizations, products and services, and determine whether the actions of those entities over the past two years have made them more or less loyal to them. The top of the results? 70% said they were more loyal to their country than two years ago. After that, there were "spouse, partner or significant other" (64%), "family doctor" (58%), the "brand of car" they were driving (56%), a restaurant they went to frequently (56%), their favorite music station (55%), religion (54%), and where they got their news from on TV (54%).
What about a job? Only 39% Americans said they became more loyal to their employers. That's lower than a TV show (drama 47%, comedy 41%) or a soft drink (41%). Only 55% of employees said they would stay at their job and turn down higher pay elsewhere, which suggested that 45% might "jump ship" for better offers. The poll also showed that most Americans do not believe companies are doing a good job at recognizing and rewarding loyal employees or customers. Loyalty is a two-way street. If your contribution is not properly recognized or rewarded, why stick around?
Let's face it. Basketball for LeBron is a job. Nobody can say his work was not recognized or rewarded - getting two back-to-back MVPs in the last two years is quite something. But he wants the championship so bad. "I think the major factor, the major reason, in my decision was the best opportunity to win, and to win now and to win into the future also," he said at the press conference. LeBron has stayed with the Cavs for seven years now but got no title. If your job can't give you what you want, maybe it's really time to move on.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Most of the time athletes pick their sports. But on rare occasions a sport can also choose an athlete.
Such was the case for April Terry, a junior specializing in the shot put, weight and hammer throws for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons track and field team.
As a seventh grader at Central Arkansas Christian School she was asked to line up with 50 of her classmates during physical education class. Each one was asked to throw the shot.
"My seventh grade year in P.E. we did a survey of all of the sports," Terry said. "One day Danny Sullivan, the track coach, lined us up. I was in the back of the line. When I threw it coach Sullivan saw me and said to do it again.
"He told me I needed to be on the track and field team. We were a small school. I came out for the team in the eighth grade. I was not as good as I wanted to be, but my ninth grade year it clicked and the magic happened."
The magic continues to follow her at Lipscomb. She has competed in two indoor meets this season and has broken school records each time. This Saturday she and the rest of her teammates will make the short trip across town for the Tennessee State Invite.
With virtually every meet Terry sets or resets her own school records.
"I don't think about resetting a school record," Terry said. "I just think about wanting to do my best. And my best is usually a school record.
"Every meet I look at my overall goal. I beat myself up pretty badly. I am trying to focus on being O.K. with breaking a school record by three inches instead of being upset that I didn't break it by a foot. I have to take the baby steps and be appreciative with consistently getting better."
The shot put is an event in which she has a long history of success. She added the weight throw and the hammer throw when she came to Lipscomb. She admits she is still working on those events in terms of technique.
"I feel like I am still on a learning curve," Terry said. "I am still looking for those big accomplishments.
"There is a lot of technique work, especially with the hammer. We do a lot of turns. We do something and then go back and correct it. Your foot being straight or your foot being arched can make a five-inch difference."
While she is still working on the weight and hammer throws she has big goals for the shot put.
"Last year I came in second for the indoor shot put in the Atlantic Sun Conference," Terry said. "I was planning on winning outdoor and it didn't happen. My goal is definitely to be a champion in the shot put this year.
"My goal is to eventually leave here with an A-Sun record in the shot. I also want to set a record in the weight throw as well."
Luke Syverson, assistant track and field coach specializing in the field events, says Terry has filled a much-needed niche on the team.
"Our program historically had never had any girls in the throwing events," Syverson said. "It has been an area of opportunity for April.
"She was a good shot putter in high school. But when you come to college and have the opportunity to train year-around and get in the weight room you will see dramatic improvements."
Syverson stressed that every time Terry competes in the weight or hammer throws she makes improvements.
"April is very coachable," Syverson said. "She is still learning those events.
"She is very consistent in always showing improvements. There is a lot more to it than standing up there and throwing it really hard. It is fun to always see the improvements from her."
Terry is known for her athletic ability, but equally important is her desire to be the best possible.
"April is really driven," Syverson said. "She likes to do well in everything she does. That has been helpful to her in learning these events.
"She watches videos of meets on YouTube. She watches girls competing at meets watching what they do right and what they do wrong."
Terry is a well-rounded student-athlete. She is majoring in psychology. She also serves as president of Lipscomb's Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
"April is a great student in the classroom," Syverson said. "She is great for us with the SAAC. It is a big job leading that. The SAAC is doing more things than it ever has on campus.
"She is well-received by all of the student athletes. She is a great leader."
Lipscomb track and field coach Bill Taylor classifies the TSU meet as a low-key one for his team.
"To some extent we will play with events," Taylor said. "For example, Tucker Peabody will move up to the 400 meters this weekend. Colin Dempster will move down to the 400 meters, after running the 800 meters the first two meets. A lot of our sprinters are moving up the ladder.
"In either case, whether trying events they don't focus on, or going after events they are focused on, we are looking forward to seeing each of our athletes compete hard. Results take care of themselves, especially with our supportive team environment. We focus on being great competitors and enjoying competition."
There will be a major shift in the roster of distance runners available for the TSU meet.
"Most of our top distance runners from last weekend will take this weekend off," Taylor said. "Sally Larson, Tessa Hoefle and the 5-K girls will rest.
"Other distance runners will make their season debut - most notably, Dani Walker and Madi Talbert. Dani was the Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Year last indoor season, so it will be fun to see her start the season. Madi was a National finals qualifier in outdoor track."
After competing in Birmingham for the first two events Taylor is happy to be able to stay in Nashville this weekend.
"It will be a fun day and it's nice to compete in Nashville," Taylor said. "Our fans can come out to support and cheer us on."

Pets, Pets, Pets
Search for Sensation Continues: Babylon's canine claim to fame centers around Westminster's clubhouse and flagpole- both gone over 90 years. In 1887 Sensation, the Pointer already the symbol of Westminster Kennel Club (WKC), was buried in front of the clubhouse by this flagpole bedecked with a Pointer weather vane, pointing always into the wind. How do we know? Let's take a look at the evidence:
Truly a Sensation: Whelped in England in 1874 and imported by the WKC in 1876 the renowned Pointer, Sensation, lived up to his name. He was a legend in his own time. His record, profile and progeny helped Westminster succeed and prosper as a kennel club. He retired from show exhibition in 1886 spending his retirement in comfort in the home of Robert C. Cornell, a NYC attorney and charter member of Westminster. Sensation aka Don was with Cornell in Babylon when he died at age 13 on Sunday June 4, 1887.
(For a crash course in my Babylon Westminster research, see online "Pets" Amityville Record Feb.4, 2009. It gives a background and a synopsis.)
Documenting the Death of Sensation: The excerpts below from two sportsmen's journals announce the sad dog news- "Forest & Stream" June 9, 1887 "Just as we go to press, a letter from Mr. R.C.Cornell informs us that the well-known pointer Sensation is dead. The grand old dog needs no eulogy; his public performances prove his worth…. Following is a portion of Mr. Cornell's letter: "I regret to say old Don is dead. He passed away quietly on Sunday last simply from old age. …Never shall I forget this good old dog, and I never shall have quite the same feeling for another. Themost satisfactory days I have ever had in the field have been with Don."
"The American Field" June 18, 1887 pinpoints the location and similarly states that "The death of Sensation breaks a living link of the past and present in the history of the development of the pointer in this country…Mr. Cornell's letter reads:" I regret to say old Don (Sensation) is dead. He passed away quietly on Sunday morning at the kennels in Babylon. He had weathered the hard Winter well, and I thought he would live comfortably through the Summer. He died simply from old age, and I do not think suffered at all. I shall never see a dog again that can fill his place in my regard."
Oddly "The South Side Signal" Babylon's local newspaper, which noted many other events at the WKC clubhouse and cited animal news like a pooch's alleged suicide on the train tracks, a dead raccoon, an owl shot stealing chickens, and every dog bite or attack of a rabid "brute" in the Village made no mention of Sensation's passing. Closest reference is a notation that James Mortimer, WKC Superintendent, sailed for Liverpool June 10, 1887 and would be gone for 2 months.
Flagpole Funeral: Westminster owns a distinct old photo of the white flagpole that shows a darker tripod stand. It gives a glimpse of the Pointer weather vane. This picture (not shown here) is on p. 21 of Mr. Stifel's book- The Dog Show: 125 Years of Westminster. On the back of the photo someone wrote that Sensation was buried at the foot of the flagstaff in front of the Westminster clubhouse at Babylon, Long Island with "many other Pointers that cost a mint of money were the greatest their day". Several othe r vi ntage photos exist of the clubhouse that show the flagpole on the f ront lawn. Sketchesfrom several antique journals situate it in the same position.
Will we find a dog mass grave? Nope. Last April Dr. Dan Davis, Stony Brook University geophysicist while taking ground penetrating radar readings in hopes of finding signs of the clubhouse foundation at my proposed site stressed that the 122 year old grave would be too close to Southards Pond- about 200 ft. away-and bone decomposes more quickly in the presence of groundwater.
Ewell Family Flagpole: Is this goat cart picture a close up of Sensation's tomb marker? I think so. James L. Ewell bought the 64 acre property from Westminster in 1904. I have fantastic photos borrowed from his great granddaughter. Some are marked Babylon; others remain suspiciously Babylon. Included is a pair of unmarked photos showing a boy in a cart pulled by a goat. A flagpole with a similar dark tripod is behind them, but the top is cut off so you can't see if there's a trademark Pointer weather vane. However, the trees are much like those in the background of the WKC photo mentioned above. These trees also look like fruit trees, and Ewell did have an orchard.
Furthermore in 2 other Ewell pictures dated 1910 (not shown) the same boy with the same smirk is sitting in a car filled with his relatives. The car is definitely in front of the former WKC clubhouse in Babylon. My logic may be flawed but these car photos plus the tree line lead me to believe the boy and his goat are parked directly on top of Sensation's grave.
Sensational news….but, and this is a "significant" but… the boy and goat may be the most zoomed in and newest photos of Westminster's hallowed burial plot, but without more landmarks or a panorama of Southards Pond, I can't match up the precise location, so I am back to square 1.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270): "Tiger Lily" in Cage 25 is a smart brindle Boxer mix. She sits with a verbal command and downs when you point to the ground. She has tiger striped markings. This comical male Corgi mix resembles a black Beagle. The shelter is located at 51 Lamar St. W. Babylon.

2012 VolunteerMatch Corporate Volunteer Awards: A Look at Finalist Morgan Stanley
On May 17, 2012, winners of the 2012 VolunteerMatch Corporate Volunteer Awards will be announced at our annual VolunteerMatch Client Summit in San Francisco, CA.
In this series of posts, we'll introduce you to the facts and folks behind the ten most effective employee volunteer programs in our family of corporate clients compared against our 2011 benchmarks.
VolunteerMatch congratulates Morgan Stanley for its nomination for Employee Volunteer Program of the Year (Large Business). Volunteerism is a key component of Morgan Stanley's commitment to giving back to local communities throughout the year, and the company has several volunteer initiatives which include:
Year-Round Volunteer Program – The Year-Round Volunteer Program encourages employees to join their colleagues in building long-term partnerships with Morgan Stanley's charitable partners in order to drive greater impact in our communities. Morgan Stanley offices across the US will collaborate with their "charity of the year" on developing projects based on the charities' needs and opportunities.
Global Volunteer Month – Held every June since 2006, Morgan Stanley employees are encouraged to dedicate at least two hours of service to their communities. The company made sure to accommodate the schedules for every employee, providing a range of opportunities from large-scale projects in which an entire division of several hundred painted a school or cleaned a park, to smaller projects for employees who cannot leave during business hours, such as packing backpacks or providing career development advice for youth.
Strategy Challenge – Morgan Stanley's annual, signature skills-based volunteer competition launched in 2009. Strategy Challenge pairs teams of Morgan Stanley employees with 15 nonprofit organizations across the country to provide pro bono strategic advice on issues related to business model optimization, geographic and program expansion, and new ventures. Each team spends two months crafting recommendations to address pressing challenges for the organization, while developing their own leadership, teamwork and analytical skills.
Some 2011 highlights of Morgan Stanley's program include:
- Employees volunteered 171,193 hours, surpassing this year's goal of 150,000 hours of service and improving on last year's results by more than 30 percent.
- 21,494 Morgan Stanley employees participated in the volunteering program, representing an increase in participation rate of 13 percent over last year.
- During the 2011 Strategy Challenge, Morgan Stanley teams donated more than 6,500 hours of high-impact analysis and advice – equivalent to a market value of approximately $1 million based on pro bono standards developed by the Pro Bono Action Tank, which estimates how nonprofits should value in-kind contributions. Over the past three years, the Strategy Challenge has cumulatively delivered approximately 14,500 hours to 36 nonprofits.
We commend Morgan Stanley for its excellent volunteer program!
Stay tuned for more finalist profiles in the coming weeks, and announcement of the winners on May 17, 2012 during the 2012 VolunteerMatch Client Summit.

We had to shake our heads at a bill recently introduced by a North Carolina legislator.
State Sen. Austin Allran, a Republican from Hickory, was the primary sponsor of the Healthy Marriage Act, legislation that would make North Carolinians have to wait two years to finalize a divorce. There would also be mandatory counseling.
Currently, the waiting time is one year, which seems a fair amount of time.
We had to chuckle after reading a report about a traffic stop last week on I-85 near Lexington.
Davidson County Sheriff's Office deputies stopped a 2005 Dodge truck on I-85 South for a traffic violation.
According to the sheriff's office, the vehicle displayed California registration and was driven by Dennie Andy Keophimanh, 26, of Grand Prairie, Texas.

Gov. Pat McCrory has proclaimed April as Organ Donation Awareness Month in North Carolina, encouraging all citizens to consider the many organ-donation needs throughout the state.
"According to Carolina Donor Services (CDS), more than 3,546 North Carolinians are waiting for organ transplants, and an average of 18 people die each day due to the severe shortage of donated organs," McCrory said.
Eighteen people a day. That's an alarming number.
In the future, one of those 18 could be somebody you know. Or love.
Marty Lawing is like vanilla ice cream—not spicy but very reliable.
Lawing, who has been county manager for Brunswick County for the past 12 years, just accepted a position as manager of Guilford County.
Brunswick County commissioners who hired Lawing were David Sandifer, May Moore, Tom Rabon, Don Warren and Bill Sue.
The increase in the number of driving-while-impaired arrests in Brunswick County is alarming.
In the first two-and-a-half months of this year, the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office has charged 123 people with driving while impaired (DWI). In the first two months of 2012, BCSO issued just 19 DWIs.
Last year there were 27 fatal wrecks in Brunswick County. Eight of those deaths were attributed to driving while impaired.
This week is Sunshine Week, a week where media outlets throughout the country join together with organizations and private citizens to shine the light on fair and open government.
Here at The Brunswick Beacon, we frequently rely upon open records and public meetings laws to keep you, our readers, informed of things happening in your community.
In 2008, 2010 and 2011, the North Carolina Press Association named the Beacon the Henry Lee Weathers Freedom of Information award winner for all newspapers in North Carolina with a circulation of 20,000 or less.
Brunswick County commissioners, we don't envy your positions right now.
Like many government entities, you're being pulled in several directions, and the funding requests just keep coming.
To make those matters worse, most often the solutions that must be found meet with public ire—cutting programs or positions or raising taxes.
Ouch. To many taxes is a dirty, dirty word.
Jaronn Ladale McAllister, we haven't forgotten about you.
We realize we didn't know you before March 1, 2012, but there's nary a week that has gone by since we haven't thought of you.
Each time we see a picture of your smiling face, it makes it that much harder to digest what happened to you.
Our hearts are heavy as we try to understand how anyone could harm a little 3-year-old boy.
We understand in this economy people have had to make a lot of tough decisions when it comes to spending money.
Unfortunately for some that has meant cutting back on going to see the doctor, especially when it's related to preventive care.
But there's help this weekend.
And it's free.
This weekend we are joining with health and other related businesses throughout the county for our annual health expo. This is the seventh year we have sponsored the event.
This week the movie "Safe Haven," based on a novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, lights up the big screen.
Shot on location in Southport and in other nearby areas, we hope this movie means more good things are in the future for Brunswick County.
For many years Brunswick County has been a good draw for television and moviemakers. The moderate temperatures and welcoming community have made it a good place to set up shop for the extended hours of filming that go into million dollar productions.
New Brunswick County commissioner Frank Williams is off to a good start.
The Leland-area businessman had already been making a name for himself in state and local politics, long before he signed up to serve the county as a commissioner.
The small business owner has also been a steadfast voice for businesses and growth in Brunswick County.
The owner of Pioneer Strategies, Williams, a member of several civic organizations, often makes presentations and gives speeches about things business owners can do to survive and thrive in this tough economy.
The Internet does a lot of good things for a lot of people.
It's an amazing way to connect with people around the world without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home.
It's a never-ending source of information, a way to find out something about just about anything you can imagine.
It's a place that can inspire love, creativity, diversity, knowledge and friendship.
But it's also a place where things can very quickly get out of hand.
I've mentioned I'm not from here a couple times in the past. That's because I have to start somewhere, and the first thing you learn in a new place is how much you don't know about it.
The things that stand out the most are the things that are most different from your past experiences.
I have now been in Brunswick County long enough that what still feels like only a few weeks has turned into a few months. Almost. Give or take a few days.
It's a difficult, but rewarding job and Brunswick County's children need you to sign up for the call.
Brunswick County's Department of Social Services and the Boys and Girls Homes (B&GH) of North Carolina are planning training and information sessions about what it means to be a foster or adoptive parent in our community.
According to DSS, right now Brunswick County only has about 16 foster parents/families licensed through its agency. They desperately need more—there are 145 children in DSS care.
It was a show of solidarity among area law enforcement and emergency services personnel.
Saturday, with uniforms freshly pressed and lights flashing, the men and women who risk their lives daily to keep each of us safe, remembered one of their own.
They were joined by friends and family of Brunswick County Sheriff's Detective Kyle Jones, a career lawman who died suddenly Monday, Jan. 14.
At 41, Jones is a hometown hero who is gone too soon.
As a newspaper, we've been firm with assertions regarding spending taxpayer dollars during the economic downturn.
We've called for governments of all sizes and their related and varied agencies to reduce spending, don't raise taxes and don't spend money if it's not imperative to do so.
But a recent decision to shell out almost a quarter of a million dollars in school revenue won't get a lashing from us.
Just a week into the new year, many of you are likely working on keeping your New Year's resolutions.
While you may be thinking about ways to eat healthier and get more exercise, we think it's a great time to encourage you to get active in another way—make a resolution to be more involved in government issues that affect your life.
In this week's Beacon, on page 10A, we have a story about meeting dates and times for many town governments as well as the Brunswick County Board of Education and county commissioners.
At least one Brunswick County commissioner supports giving county employees a sizeable raise, but we think fellow commissioners were on the mark when they delayed voting on it for now.
At a Dec.17 commissioners meeting, commissioner Marty Cooke proposed giving all county employees—with a few exceptions—a pay increase of 5 percent.
It's a move, he said, that would bring pay back in line with cost-of-living adjustments employees could have gotten if the county had not frozen raises in 2008.
In this economy families must watch every penny they spend.
Government must now, and always, do the same.
Down in Calabash spending appears to be causing a rift on the town board.
There is a clash among board members about how tax dollars are being spent.
A recent disagreement has some board members calling for Mayor Mary Knight to be stripped of all of her powers.
Others are calling it a witch-hunt.

Cute As A Cherry
Cherries are the hands-down winners in the cutest fruit contest. Strawberries are nice, kiwis have a special appeal, and oranges are colorful, but I'm drawn like a magnet to anything with cherries printed on it. Aprons, kitchen towels, dresses, handbags - anything with cherries on it is just about irresistible. Something about the bright red color, the cheerful off-round shape, and the jaunty stem just makes them darling.
Another cute thing that's hard to resist is tiny food. Petit fours, itty bitty cookies, tiny tarts, brownie bites, and miniature cupcakes.
Now if you combine cherries with mini cupcakes what do you get? Serious cuteness. And deliciousness. When I saw this recipe in Martha Stewart's Cupcake cookbook, I had to make them for the cuteness factor alone. Bonus that they are moist, almondy, and have the surprise of a whole cherry in the middle.
These are perfect for a tea party, a picnic, or just a mid-afternoon indulgence. Small, sweet, and oh so cute - how can you resist? Just be sure to warn guests that there's a pit in the middle so they don't break a tooth. Of course, you could pit the cherries, but I think it's more fun to leave them in. There's a certain amount of cute in having to spit the pit from a cupcake, too.
Tiny Cherry and Almond Tea Cakes
- adapted from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes
makes about 24-30 mini cupcakes
1-1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp (1-1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
5 oz almond meal OR 1 cup unblanched almonds
1 cup sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
5 large egg whites
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp kirsch (cherry brandy)
30 sweet (Bing) cherries, stems intact
1- Preheat oven to 400 deg. F. Brush mini muffin tins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
2- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the heat and skim off the foam from the top. Set aside.
3- Place the almond meal in a large bowl. (If using whole almonds, process them in a food processor till finely ground, then transfer them to the bowl.) Whisk in the flour, sugar, and salt to combine. Add egg whites and whisk until smooth. Stir in the kirsch. Pour in the browned butter, leaving any burned sediment behind, and whisk to combine. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
4- Fill each prepared cup with 1 Tbsp batter. Push a cherry into the batter of each cup, stem standing up. Dip the back of a small spoon into the remaining batter and smooth the batter over the top of each cherry to cover it.
5- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted near the cherries comes out clean. Cool the tins on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges to loosen and turn out the cakes onto the rack to cool completely.
Cakes can be stored overnight at room temperature in airtight containers.

Oh my goodness! These combine two of my favorite things: cherries and little things. I love petit-fours!!! I may have to try to veganize these. So exciting that it is finally cherry season here ... although, I was talking to someone in the produce department at work and he said that cherry operations (and other berry farms) have been hit by the weather. Apparently, the cold and damp weather this spring has made harvests difficult, ripening slow, and mildews (etc) more pervasive. So sad! These are lovely, though :)

When we drove south into Omak this weekend for Mexican we passed cherry trees laden with so many different varieties. These would be cute. How about dipping the whole thing in chocolate:D

Lynn, I swear this is true, I woke up this morning thinking I needed to find a cupcake or muffin recipe to use up some of the fresh cherries I have in the fridge, and there you go, posting a cherry teacake recipe! Thank you for sharing these, they look fabulous!

Too cute...actually adorable, although I think I would pit and stem the cherries so I could just pop the whole thing in my mouth. Bet there wouldn't be too many left to worry about overnight storage :)

These are too cute, Lynn! So delicate and look delicious, too. Too bad I'll have to wait till the end of the year to try them - but I'm sure it will be worth it! :)

Check for display issues
If your Mac doesn't appear to turn on, it's possible that the computer is turning on but the display isn't working. To see if it's a display issue, press your computer's power button. Then check for these signs that your Mac is turning on, even if the display remains dark:
- You might hear a startup chime.
- You might hear fan or drive noise.
- If your Mac has an LED sleep indicator, it might turn on.
- If your Mac notebook has a backlit keyboard, it might turn on.
- When you press the Caps Lock key, the key's light turns on.
If any of these things happens and your Mac is connected to an external display, get help with video issues on external displays connected to your Mac. Otherwise, continue to the next section.
Check for power issues
If your Mac won't turn on and you've ruled out display issues, try these steps:
- Make sure that the power cord and adapter are securely connected to your Mac and plugged in to a working electrical outlet. Plug in a lamp or other device to make sure the outlet works.
- Try another power cord or adapter if the outlet works but your Mac still has no power.
- If you're using a Mac notebook, make sure that you're using the right power adapter and cable and learn about troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. Leave the power adapter connected long enough to provide an adequate charge to the battery.
Check for other issues
Try these steps if you've ruled out power and display issues:
- Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to your Mac. This includes things like printers, USB hubs, and mobile devices.
- Hold down the power button for ten seconds. Then press the power button again to see if the Mac turns on.
- Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
- If you recently installed memory or a drive in your Mac, make sure that it's compatible and installed correctly. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive to see if the issue persists.
If your Mac still won't start up after you've tried these steps, contact Apple Support. You can also visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

Higher education in America was once a luxury for the privileged. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln changed that when he signed the Morrill Act, which established the nation's land-grant universities and opened doors of higher education to more Americans.
The act directed funding to agriculture, engineering and mechanical arts education, helping build the infrastructure that has kept us strong and helps feed the world today.

They are still talking about adding an extra wild card , but it won't end there. The one-game playoff is bound to drag on to three games, then five ….
I realize the old format will never be again, but the more you add to the playoff format the more the sport is diluted. The season drags on long enough as it is and this won't help matters. What if there's two teams vying for the final seed? Do you add another game?
The suggested format would allow the three division winners first-round byes, but what if one of the wild cards has a superior record to a division winner. That's not entirely fair, either.
As it is, the integrity of the regular season is compromised because of interleague play the unbalanced schedule as not every team runs the same race to October. Unfortunately, I never see them doing away with interleague play although it is not nearly the success Major League Baseball portrays it to be. Interleauge play is compelling in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but other than that, who really cares?
Yes, they'll show up in Pittsburgh when the Yankees are in town, but there's nothing exciting about seeing the Royals or Mariners come in. There's just not the draw MLB executives believe.
Sadly, as long as Bud Selig is commissioner, interleague play is here to stay.
If they really want to do something about the integrity of the regular season, and by extension, the playoffs, here's a system that could work.
I'd do away with the division format and simply have the two leagues. If they insist on interleague play, they could structure it where every team plays the same schedule. The same schedule promotes fairness.
From there, I'd take the top four teams and seed them so one plays four and two plays three. That would be a fairer and more equitable solution.

Hi Friend!
Early in my life I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given little hope of surviving. After four major brain surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation I was doing all right. Although I had a bit of a set back with a stroke a few years ago. To date I still struggle with limited movement and profound hearing loss from the Chemo and Radiation treatments. This has caused a challenge with employment.
I recently graduated from high school and was looking for a way to support myself and not to be a burden on society or my family. After some time with my Dad we came up with the idea of using my excitement for working with computer graphics as well as working with my hands to make quality custom name and house tags. I currently only have a few offerings but I hope I will be able to expand and offer more items in the catalog soon. I am excited with this new project and it should be a lot of fun. If you have an idea for a tag you'd like please let me know!
I hope you will find what I do a use to you or as a nice personal gift for a friend or loved one. Please share with a friend, colleague or family member who may benefit from my tags.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim's Tagworks
PS: My Mom and Dad helped me write this :)

Immunohistochemistry is commonly distinguished as being the process of conducting immunoreactions on tissue thin sections, whereas immunocytochemistry is the same type of reactions on cell cultures. Furthermore, the term immunofluorescence is also often applied to immunochemical reactions that involve fluorophores conjugated to primary and secondary antibodies, as well as antibody fragments. In the scientific literature and the catalogs of antibody manufacturers, these terms are useful to segregate between products designed for cytological use and those targeted at paraffin or frozen tissue sections. However, the general principles of immunology are the same regardless of whether they are applied to isolated cells or those embedded within a tissue matrix.
The log phase LLC-PK1 cells illustrated above were bathed in growth medium containing MitoTracker Red CMXRos for one hour, and then fixed, permeabilized, and blocked with 10-percent normal goat serum. The culture was subsequently treated with mouse anti-cytokeratin (pan) primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies conjugated to Marina Blue. DNA in the nuclei was visualized using SYTOX Green. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

In the case of Murdoch and Brexit, I think it's a Pyrrhic victory, at best. Big chunks of his (and other media tycoons) core audiences are flocking to the social media echo chambers, diminishing their profits and there's no end of that in sight. But, those social echo chambers are even worse, bc they get unchecked mainly due to financial interests of the likes of Zuckerberg.
I concede though, the Murdochs of the world are far from finished, yet losing influence by the minute and now look like the zombies they ever were.

Psychology student awarded summer research grant
May 3, 2012 | Chase Replogle
When Kayla Jordan signed up for Evangel's psychology internship last spring, she had no idea where that opportunity would lead her.
"As I started doing research, I discovered that it was fun, and I enjoyed doing it," says Jordan, a senior psychology and history double major from Ripley, Tennesee.
This experience led her to apply for a summer research grant from Psi Chi, the international honor society for psychology.
Jordan was awarded a $5,000 grant in March. She is one of only 14 undergraduate Psi Chi members internationally to receive a summer research grant.
She earned the grant with her proposed research project "The Effects of Apology and Perspective-Taking on Intergroup Forgiveness and Attitudes."
Jordan has two faculty sponsors, Dr. Geoffrey Sutton, psychology professor from Evangel, and Dr. Everett Worthington from Virginia Commonwealth University.
"Dr. Sutton knew Dr. Worthington, an internationally known psychological scientist, and put me in contact with him," she says. After looking at her proposal, Worthington agreed to co-sponsor the project.
Jordan will spend this summer conducting her research at Virginia Commonwealth University, a nationally recognized research institution. She will study how intergroup forgiveness may be facilitated by apology and perspective-taking.
"I am so proud of her," says Sutton. "She has already done some outstanding work, and I am excited to see her develop her skills to the next level by working with a well-known scientist."
Jordan has already completed one research project on her own and one with another student. She is currently assisting Dr. Sutton with two other projects.
Jordan says, "Research is the foundation of psychology, and I want to help discover knowledge that could make our world better.
"The opportunities I have had at Evangel to conduct research and present at research conferences have really strengthened my calling."
PHOTO CAPTION: Evangel senior Kayla Jordan reviews a project with Dr. Geoffrey Sutton, professor of psychology at Evangel. Jordan will leave mid-summer to conduct research at Virginia Commonwealth University alongside Dr. Everett Worthington, internationally known psychological scientist.
— Cassie McDaniel, a senior double major in marketing and management at Evangel University

Being relatively new I have made a point of calling in and introducing myself to a large number of our clients located throughout the Shoalhaven, Illawarra and Eurobodalla. During this exercise I spoke with a client of EC's called Terry who is a real straight talking old school plumber from a small country town in the Shoalhaven on the south coast. For many years this plumber was doing work on a handshake and finding he was not getting very far at all. He spoke to the Master Plumbers Association who put him onto EC to help him draft his terms and conditions of trade to protect his business.
5 years on this old school plumber still finds it hard to believe how effective the terms and condition of trade have been for his business. Terry admits that he was initially very reluctant on making the investment due to the fact he works for a lot of people he knows in his local area in the Shoalhaven and also sometimes up in the Illawarra region. He now realises that yes he is a great tradesman but they just don't teach you this side of business at TAFE on how to run a business effectively.
These days, Terry still has a few clients not willing to pay on time, but he now has the ability to simply point out to his debtors (in a nice way) a few of the consequences if they fail to pay him as per his terms and conditions of trade. As a result, Terry now finds that his clients pay on time, and life is good!!
He never thought a simple piece of paper could be so valuable, prevent so many headaches and keep his pockets lined with cash.
What's Terry's advice for every business owner? In his own words "no matter what area you live in throughout the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, do not procrastinate! Protect your cash flow as soon as possible with terms and conditions of trade, for such a small investment it makes working life so much easier. Believe me when I say if I can do it anyone canâ€.

5 Texas Rio Star (red) grapefruits
1 cup sugar
2 vanilla beans, sliced along the seam
4-6 whole star anise
Sterilize your jars. Keep them warm until ready to use. Supreme the grapefruit. As you work, place the segments in a large measuring cup. Squeeze the membranes and peels into the measuring cup. Discard the peels and membranes. Carefully remove the segments to a heavy sauce pan using a slotted spoon or mini strainer. Add water to the juice in the measuring cup to equal 2 cups (I only needed to add one cup). Add to the sauce pan. Add the vanilla beans and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally but very gently. Remove the vanilla beans and star anise. Ladle the mixture into prepared jars. Cut the vanilla beans to fit and add them and the star anise to the jars if desired. Seal. Process for 5 minutes in a hot water bath.
Yield: 4-5 8 oz jars
Note: It is important to sterilize the jars prior to filling for this recipe due to the very short processing time. Do not over process the filled jars.
Note: A great source for canning information is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books and equipment I find useful.

Honey, You've Gained a Little Weight!
The last thing anyone wants to hear is, "honey, you've gained a little weight."
Now a new study suggests a diet discussion with your significant other can lead to dangerous behavior, including fasting, taking diet pills and using laxatives. Researchers surveyed more than two thousand adults between the ages of 20 and 31 who were in relationships.
All were asked about their eating habits and whether their partner diets, or encourages them to diet. Almost half of the participants said their significant other pushed them to diet, and their encouragement was often viewed as critical versus supportive.
Women who said they were frequently encouraged to diet by their significant other engaged in binge eating at nearly double the rate of those who said they were never asked to loose a few.
Overall, more than 40% of the people surveyed had used extreme diet tactics in the past year, 51% of women and almost 30% of men.
The takeaway for couples, according to the researchers, Try encouraging exercise and positive communication about health versus looks when it comes to this weighty issue.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV, with the news that can keep you and your loved ones safe, healthy, and happy.
