UPDATE | Arlington Police searching for two suspects in armed robbery of espresso stand
February 5, 2013 · Updated 5:01 PM
ARLINGTON — As of approximately 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5, Arlington Police were on the scene of a reported armed robbery of an espresso stand in the 100 block of W. Division Street.
The suspects are two white males in their late teens, who reportedly displayed a weapon during the robbery and fled from the scene on foot heading north.
The Arlington Police Department had additional units from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office — as well as the Marysville, Everett and Stillaguamish Tribal police departments — assisting in trying to locate the suspects, but as of approximately 4:30 p.m., the K9 track was unable to lead officers to locate the suspects.
Security camera footage shows one suspect wearing a blue hoodie, blue plaid pajama pants and a beanie, and the other suspect wearing a gray hoodie, a black backpack and a black beanie.
Further information on this case will be released as it becomes available.

http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/51977/wholesale-changes-in-san-diego "Mortensen reported a likely replacement for Smith would be San Diego director of player personnel Jimmy Raye. Then, Mortensen reported, college scouting director John Spanos likely would become the director of player personnel."
Spanos is not going to be the GM, that's just not going to happen. If you want to see what his future role is, see John Elway in Denver; special assistant, has the ear of the owner and is an active advisor. If Spanos is even thought of as a GM NO ONE (and I mean NO ONE) will ever take a head coaching job in San Diego. No kid of the owner ever becomes a GM, but what Spanos is doing isn't surprising and it is normal among owners. Jimmy Raye is likely in consideration and why not, he's earned his way up the ladder and has been here the longest. Honestly I don't know what kind of candidates could be considered for a GM position, Khan from Pitt is the only one I'm aware of
It just seems lazy. Like Spanos is unaware of any other options himself, especially if this decision has been made already without any interviews.
It was probably a question of who an initial candidate for GM would be, not a comprehensive search would yield. It's natural for a first candidate to be someone internal but that doesn't mean it's end all/be all
According to Acee (if you consider him a credible source), Jimmy was the chief guy responsible for finding those "diamond in the dumpster" players. Guy's like Alexander.
And where that worries me the most is that this signals to me that Dean ain't bucking the other long-ingrained traditions with this team: You know, like not spending 1st round picks on OL, no matter how much it's needed. Our talent eval group needs a breath of fresh air - someone who will find different rocks to kick up in search of talent. I'm less concerned with having a GM that can find the value in the rags of other teams (because - even with the success Alexander's had there's still his past injury woes and his robo-knees - there's always a reason why those guys are castoffs to begin with - as we saw with Gaither) and instead concerned with having a GM who can maximize the premium assets available to us to more consistently translate those into premium talent. Marc Ross isn't the hot GM candidate out of the Giants organization so much because the team found Victor Cruz in UDFA, but rather because the team has parlayed its premium picks of late into the likes of Jason Pierre-Paul, Prince Amukamara (starting to come around, but even still it was a "don't look the gift horse in the mouth" scenario), Reuben Randle, Linval Joseph, Hakeem Nicks, and Kenny Phillips.
To be fair....... Jimmy Raye is only allowed to do what AJ lets him do. It's the GM that calls the shots on draft day.
I hate the fact that Dean isn't looking elsewhere for a GM, just being lazy and hiring an internal. But he was one of four candidates to be interviewed for the Bears' GM spot last year. Marc Ross was also in that discussion. But I'd like Dean to look at Jason Licht as well, form the Patriots. Also, another candidate and finalist for the GM position for the Bears. But Jimm Raye wouldn't be a bad hire at all. I did some homework on him, and he is credited for drafting LaDanian Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Shaun Phillips, Michael Turner, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, Antonio Cromartie, Eric Weddle and Ryan Mathews. And AJ is credited for losing 6 of those 10 players to FA.. All pro bowlers by the way.. And not wanting Buster Davis is a plus in my eyes..
Careful, you might get a picture of dead holding it with non-standard portions of his anatomy and a look on his face like he is passing a brick.

Chinese medicine works from an entirely different theoretical basis which can often make sense of a symptom for which there is no obvious classification in conventional medicine. In fact, there are occasions where problems which people would not take to a GP fall within an understanding of possible pathologies from a Chinese medicine perspective.
However, you do need to at least check with your GP whether there is anything going on with your system as a whole. Although it would be rare for your symptom to be a sign of a serious underlying illness, there are a small number of conditions where excessive redness of the face together with a sensation of heat might be pointing to a condition which requires conventional treatment.
After that it would be worth your while to seek the advice of a BAcC member local to you. There may be other indicators in the way that your system is functioning which point to more general patterns of imbalance, or there may be local blockages in the flow of energy which are causing the symptoms to manifest - a great deal depends on exactly where the symptom appears, and when.
We would advise you to be careful, however. BAcC members are particularly careful not to embark on long sequences of treatment for conditions like this, where changes may or may not occur, and regularly review what they do to ensure that the patient retains control of the process. We have heard of less scrupulous practitioners, though, and anyone who guarantees success or asks for a commitment to ten sessions is to be treated with caution.
There is not a great deal of evidence that acupuncture has been used successfully for treating this condition. This becomes very clear when you undertake any searches for evidence. There is a single paper for the use of acupuncture and hypnotherapy ('hypnopuncture')
which is cited over and over again without any further additions, a certain sign that there is no other evidence. We are sure that there are probably a large number of trials which have been undertaken in China, but the great majority of these have not been translated and are often regarded in the West as methodologically flawed.
However, skin diseases are as old as mankind, and the systems of Chinese medicine do have ways of interpreting the signs and symptoms of diseases like prurigo within its framework. These often use terms like 'invasions' of 'heat', 'wind' or 'damp' which sound alien to the western ear but describe the effects of climate (as experienced by a largely agrarian population) on the flow of energy, called 'qi', especially where this disrupted the flow, rhythm and balance near the skin surface. Everyone is aware of the short term effects of exposure to extremes of climate, and from a Chinese medicine perspective, whether this is the primary cause of a problem, or whether there is an underlying weakness which makes particular people vulnerable, the skill of the practitioner lies in assessing the overall balance as well as the presenting symptoms, and attempting to restore balance.
The best advice that we can give you is that you visit a BAcC member local to you for a brief face to face assessment of the problem. Crucial to this assessment will be whether the problem is local or widespread. In broad terms, the more localised, the more treatment options there are. We would also recommend that you might want to see advice from someone who also does Chinese herbal medicine. The majority of the members of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine are also BAcC members. We say this because herbal medicine has developed a very good reputation over the years for treating skin conditions, the daily dose of herbs helping to maintain a treatment momentum. It may be that a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine may prove a more potent force in helping your problem, but to what extent would depend on a more thorough assessment than we can give here.
You may find a number of American sites such as this one
Please click here
which give some very clear and unequivocal advice about the treatment of hair loss. You may also have seen some of the high street shops with lurid photos of 'before' and 'after' treatment.
The reality is that there is very little research evidence to suggest that acupuncture can reverse hair loss if that is a stand-alone problem. This is becoming an increasing problem for men especially in modern times, and there are a number of theories, from stress to electro-magnetic radiation to increases in background hormone levels in drinking water, as to why this might be. However, there is no conclusive evidence for any of these, and no evidence that acupuncture can treat hair loss as a specific symptom.
However, hair loss can be associated with other conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndroe (PCOS) in women and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in both sexes, and if this is the case, there are approaches in both conventional and Chinese medicine which may prove beneficial. Clearly the Chinese medicine ones will be looking at the symptom in the context of other symptoms which someone may have, and also in the context of understanding the body as a system of energy, or 'qi', whose flow, rhythms and balance have been disturbed. There are a number of functional elements understood from this perspective which contribute to the health and quantity of the hair, as well as its 'vitality', and if a diagnosis can make sense of the hair loss within this wider context, then there is some sense that acupuncture treatment may help.
However, progress, even if good, is likely to be slow, and there are, sad to say, professionals (not BAcC members, we are pleased to note) who make the kinds of claims for hair growth and recovery which we do not believe are underpinned by evidence, either research or anecdotal, so we recommend great caution.
Q: I am not sure if acupuncture would have any chance of helping with this, but I suffer from bad acne around my chin area - and I'm pretty sure this is related to hormones. I am 29 years of age, and female.
A: There is some evidence that acupuncture can help acne, as out factsheet shows:
Please click here
However, we are interested that you think there is a hormonal connection because in someone your age acne is very often a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome, for which there is some, if conflicting, evidence about the value of acupuncture treatment, as our factsheet shows
Please click here
There is every reason to seek further conventional medical assessment to establish whether this is the case, because it can add to the understanding of the condition from a Chinese medicine perspective. Any accumulations of fluid in the body have significance from a Chinese point of view, and if there are other linked symptoms this will suggest possibilities for treatment.
If the problem is simply a local one, we believe that there may be some value in seeking acupuncture treatment, but we would also probbaly recommend that a prospective patient visit someone who is also trained in Chinese herbal medicine. Using herbal medicines can often offer daily treatment of a problem which in the case of skin problems seems to provide a better chance of 'breaking through' the pattern. Mist members of the RCHM are also members of the BAcC, so finding someone who uses acupuncture and herbs is not difficult.
However, any of the BAcC members local to you will be able to offer you honest advice and a brief face to face assessment of your problem to make a more informed recommendation than we can make remotely.
Q: I wondered whether acupuncture is able to treat rosacea. I was diagnosed by my GP about one year ago. I have since tried creams and medications as suggested by my GP. Although I have seen some improvement in the condition it still remains present, largely on my head.
A: It's always a good indicator how well something responds to acupuncture to type the condition and 'acupuncture' into google and see what comes back. We have trawled the databases for evidence that there have been trials which have looked at how successful acupuncture treatment was for this condition, but there are very few in English. This does not mean that there are none at all; the Chinese conduct many thousands of trials each year, the vast majority of which are never translated. Where there are good ones, they tend to emerge quickly. Many suffer from methodological weaknesses, however; the Chinese know acupuncture works and want to assess what works better, whereas in the West we are still fixated on whether it works at all. This requires a much more rigorous level of trial with standards which many Chinese studies fail to meet.
However, the fact that there are no relevant trials does not mean that Chinese medicine cannot help. There is a vast difference between the way that conventional medicine and Chinese medicine address their patients, and while symptoms are the primary focus of conventional medicine, in Chinese medicine these are mainly relevant as indicators of deeper underlying imbalances which affect the whole system. Chinese medicine primarily treats the patient, not the disease. This may mean that a practitioner can, in your case, identify areas of weakness or imbalance which might be contributing to the symptoms which you have. Many people, indeed, turn to Chinese herbal medicine, which affords the possibility of daily treatment, something which can really help in bringing a stubborn long-term condition under control.
However, much research is stimulated by anecdotal evidence, and there isn't a great deal to be found on the internet suggesting that acupuncture is the treatment of choice of this condition. We think that you may well benefit from seeking the advice of a BAcC member local to you. This will at least alert you to the background against which your condition has developed, and may offer some useful suggestions about how best to avoid making the condition worse. If you did decide to give treatment a try, we recommend that you ensure that you set measurable targets and also review dates; long term chronic conditions can easily become a money pit unless one is very careful.
There may be some merit in finding a BAcC member who also uses Chinese medical herbs, not that difficult since the majority of RCHM members are also members of the BAcC, but we cannot give you an individual recommendation, we are afraid to say. From our perspective all BAcC members are equally well equipped in Chinese medicine skills to address any patient, and this means you can contact any with confidence that you will be getting an honest and informed assessment of how acupuncture may benefit you.

I'm wondering what influences the CPM for ads in mobile apps. I'm fairly new to the whole ad game so any insight into CPM basics is helpful. For example monthly, annual and seasonal variations.
I have two free iOS apps. Call them A and B. A is a novelty app that's been in the app store for a year. A has about 500 downloads total and currently gets about 5 downloads per week. App A has zero ratings. So IMO it's safe to say app A is pretty much dead.
App B on the other hand is doing relatively well. It's been in the app store for six months and has around 15K downloads. Currently it gets about 100 downloads per day. There are approximately 2000 daily active users who consume about 5000 items in the app per day. Assume the items are photos or tweets or similar. The number of "items" consumed per day has more than doubled in the last 4 months. App B has a five-star rating over about 100 ratings. So IMO App B is doing relatively well compared to app A.
Here's what's puzzling me: app A has an eCPM around $15 while app B has an eCPM around $2. What could be influencing this massive eCPM difference?

Hi everyone! I finally got brave and pulled out my omega juicer that I got off craigslist, and discovered that I did have all the parts to juice with it. Bought some little 'pint' sized trays of wheatgrass from the health food store ($2.99 each!!) and this morning we did our first shots. Each 1-oz shot, though, took an entire little tray (again, pint-sized, probably 4"x4"), so those were pretty spendy shots. I will start growing my own, but in the meantime, can I let the grass grow up again and get a second cutting? I am guessing it won't be as nutritious as the first cutting, but it sure would help cut down the cost per shot until I can get a system set up to grow my own.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- A Binghamton man shows that some people will do just about anything to try and get out of trouble. Deputies said they arrested Matthew Rule, 28, on an arrest warrant for criminal contempt.
While being transported to the county jail, deputies said Rule told the driver he was going to be sick. When the deputy partially rolled down the window, Rule hopped into the seat, and pushed himself out of the window while the car was moving.
After hitting the pavement, deputies said Rule was unable to get up, and was taken back into custody. He now faces an additional charge of third degree escape.

Excellent choice. Stones are well matched with good color, cut, and clarity. The quality when price is considered.

U.S. corn futures climbed for a fourth straight session on Tuesday on technical and speculative buying and amid concerns over tight supplies of the feed grain.
Wheat futures followed corn higher while soybeans drifted lower in light trading, under pressure from a lack of fresh buying by top importer China.
"It's all about corn and the tight stocks. Cash is strong and there will be a squeeze in May and July because of that -- we will be short of corn," said Joe Bedore, CBOT floor manager for trade house INTL FCStone.
Traders continued to spread positions, buying corn and selling soybeans, which helped to send actively traded May corn to its highest level in a month.
The monthly supply/demand report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture also helped.
"The trade is feeling comfortable after the USDA report last week, given yesterday's export inspections and given news of more new-crop corn sales to China, in continuing to unwind the bean/corn spreads," said Mike Zuzolo, president of Global Commodity Analytics.
USDA kept its end-of-season corn stocks forecast steady at 632 million bushels, the smallest in 17 years and a bare three-week supply.
Private Chinese importers seized upon a dip in prices and have bought about 600,000 tonnes of new-crop U.S. corn since February, traders said.
May corn on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) climbed three cents to $7.14-1/4 per bushel, after peaking at $7.17-3/4, its highest since Feb. 8 (all figures US$).
The contract found support at its 50-day moving average around $7.08-1/4 but failed to break through resistance at its 200-day moving average of $7.20-1/4.
CBOT May soybeans fell 10-3/4 cents to $14.68-3/4 per bushel.
Port congestion and loading delays in Brazil limited declines in soybeans as exports from the U.S. were expected to fill near-term global demand.
The market was awaiting news from South America on whether a port strike in Brazil, scheduled to begin next Tuesday (March 19), would severely disrupt export shipments.
CBOT May wheat rose for a fourth straight session, adding 3-1/2 cents to $7.03-1/2 a bushel. But the contract held within the previous day's trading range and failed to break chart resistance at its 14-day moving average of around $7.06-1/2.

Self confessed fanboy of ponsy armies. High Elves, Bretonnians, Eldar, etc. (I've had two new army books this last year - I'm willing to bet I won't get the third!)
A marvel of Iosan force mastery, the Aspis is an unmistakable sight on the battlefield. The myrmidon is equipped to manipulate its own protective field dynamically and can catch bullets with it before they strike. A stalwart guardian of its controlling warcaster, the Aspis can smash even the largest enemies backward with blows of its force-enhanced fists to keep its master safe from harm.
Well...I like it. The shield generator "hands" are pretty cool-looking. Other than that, it's a basic Light Myrmidon.
A basic Light Myrmidon with 10 boxes on the forcefield that can regenerate just like the Phoenix
It also has shield guard and I believe it has beat back too. For only 4 points!
I will definitely be picking this baby up. My scyir will love him.

Yay! Retribution finally has a bodyguard 'jack!
All things wash away, but blood stained the sun red today. -- Metallica, "Ronnie"

New WHFB project. And new 40k project.
Intresting stuff in wrath. A demolisher (a devesator with cannons instead of rain of death) and some pics of the new man o' war, whcih either have been repainted and remodeled or are comic out in plastic. And a Nemo model that isn't epic or normal. any thoughts on this. I won't ruin it anymore for anyone who hasn't read it yet unless we get the go ahead to on this thread
The Man O'Wars are coming in plastic. They are in the starter set in September for starters.
Kabal of the Shadow Void - DE old and new- update November 26th 2011
13th Company and own Chapter - update 4 Oct
High Elves, Privateer Press, Freebooter & all other fantasy - April 28th update
The Kel'Siral Tau Sept (1500 pts in 6 months - COMPLETE) - August 15th 2011 update
Inquisitor 28mm plog - April 28th update
There two pNemo models - original one and a resculpt. You sure it wasn't one of those?
So I finally got my copy of wrath. Very impressed with a lot of models and the background as usual.
As usual with a privateer release, it makes me question my choice of faction. So much amazing stuff all over. Scaverous is a frightening caster, and the new myrmidons for retribution have some interesting toys.
Still looking forward to putting Constance and Gallant on the field, however. And the Avenger and Minuteman are ridiculously useful warjacks.

Putting up the last plastic Prime Chassis lights today.
And I assume the Redeemer will be showing up in a bit.
I'm reminded of how much I like the Sentinel model - might have to get one.
so got some art work for our new dominion casters copyed form ed blog
First up is Master Ascetic Naaresh by Andrea Uderzo. Not only did Andrea do the illustration for this wicked Skorne warlock, he did the concept art from the ground up. Skorne players will love Naaresh on the battlefield as both a great giver and taker of pain.
Next we have Baldur the Stonesoul by Nestor Ossandon. I love this dynamic hood down version of Baldur kicking ass.

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showth...95#post6202095 historical log updated 03/03/13
Both very nice, I'm glad Skorne gets another cool looking caster.
Skorne warlock is lovely.
Baldur is a bit "meh" from an alteration standpoint (so were the other 2 Circle Epics, though), but if they copy that pose to the model, I'll be happy.
Btw iv heard in th new book that there will be a step up from epic casters (ie nemo) i cant remember the name but it is a case of there being a new tier up from normal to epic to "something"
Menoth Vassal W/D/L = 1/0/0
Do a search on Lock & Load. They announced it there. I overheard both the names "Ultimate" and "Legendary" as the 3rd type.

TruVativ X0 GXP 2.2 Crankset
- Item: TRU0111 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 690 g
Sale $387.90
This Truvativ X0 GXP 2.2 10-Speed Crankset uses carbon fiber like the top shelf XX crank, but there are a few differences. Unlike the XX crank, there's no alloy spine connecting the threaded pedal insert and the crank/spindle connection. SRAM engineers figured out a way to eliminate it, instead using a stiff structural foam core inside the composite skin. Don't think for a second that it's weaker; part of SRAM's goal for XO was to make it burly enough to handle the rigors of all-mountain riding.
Another difference is that this XO crankset uses an aluminum spider where the XX spider is an integral part of the carbon crankarm assembly. While it's a few grams heavier, the XO system allows you to remove the spider if you want to change from two to three rings or vice versa. As is, this 2x10 setup has a bolt circle diameter of 80/120mm. Of course, it's an exclusive measurement, but for the chainring tooth combinations SRAM wanted to offer, it optimizes the stiffness of the rings. And stiffer chainrings mean quicker, more precise shifts.
Not only did they design their own optimized bolt circle diameters, but they re-engineered the shift ramps, pins, and cut outs on the outer chainring. On most chainrings these days, there are two sets of ramps and two drop points where the chain can get lifted or dropped quickly and under pressure. This means that twice each pedal revolution you'll hit these spots, so the shifting can be iffy if you shift at any other time. You've probably experienced this with the pause and clunk and sometimes smooth movement on other crank systems. SRAM's X0 outer ring allows perfect shifts just about all the way around the crank. They call this X-Glide. Another improvement stems from having only two rings. From the small ring, the chain can only go up, from the big ring, only down. With this in mind, each ring can be shaped specifically for its more focused purpose.
The Truvativ X0 GXP 2.2 10-Speed Crankset has Clear Coated Carbon fiber arms with a Black anodized 7075 T6 aluminum spider and chainrings and has Black, Blue, Gold, or Red color accents. It's available with either 170 or 175mm crankarms. The crankset comes in a standard double configuration or a double with a bash guard. The 42/28t and 39/26t configurations come as the standard double configuration and the bash guard can be found on the 38/24t and 36/22t options. It requires a Truvativ GXP bottom bracket (not included).

Scriptures and Tradition: What the Bible REALLY Says! (1213-26)
Edith Humphrey, William F. Orr Professor of New Testament, PTS
Tradition is a debated topic in our day. Some think that it is a way of limiting life and maintaining rigid order, while others are fascinated with it as a link to the past. Christians also quarrel about its importance, particularly when they are thinking about the authority of Scripture and the life of the Holy Spirit. This course will read the Old and New Testaments to see how they deal with tradition and what they have to say about it. Be prepared for some surprises, and even an exposé of mistranslations of Biblical passages due to the bias of translators in this matter! / Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m., April 9-30, 2013 / $80 / 0.8 CEUs

Where to Belong If Anywhere? (1213-27)
Susan Kendall, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program, PTS
The desire to belong and to live life with compassion and dignity remains steady despite the seeming collapse of institutions, authority, and meaning brought about by technology, economics, religious tensions, and more predictions of change. We will explore together through a collaborative process what remains, what has always been, and what always will be using that center to reflect on what all of this might mean for each of us. A selection of readings will be provided, mostly short essays both ancient and new, to serve as the common conversational point. / Mon. evenings, May 6, 13, and 20, 2013 / 7:00-8:30 p.m. / $50 / 0.45 CEUs

This is a special offering in our ongoing series of workshops for Christian educators, pastors, and all who work in educational ministries in the Church. Rather than the usual format of a morning keynote presentation and afternoon individual workshops, this is an all-day event with teacher, Bonnie Thurston. After a brief introduction to the Sermon and its structure, we shall consider the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12 - and perhaps write some of our own), the matter of perfection (Matthew 5:43-48), and what it might mean to be obedient to Jesus' teaching in the Sermon. There will be time to ask your most burning questions about Matthew 5-7. / Tues., April 16, 2013 / 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. / $35 / 0.6 CEUs

Finishing with Vitality: A Seminar for Pastors (1314-05)
David C. Rich, Retired PC(USA) Minister, Educator, and Consultant to Pastors and Congregations
The retirement of a pastor from his or her ministry is a unique and critical transition involving the pastor, spouse, staff, and congregation. Planning together for this transition offers the pastor and congregational leadership the opportunity to manage the transition. It also serves as the first step toward working together to do their best in ministry in their last months or years together. Developing and implementing a transition plan builds a solid foundation for ministry - for the congregation and the retiring pastor. A transition plan allows the pastor and congregational leadership to have control of the transition and avoids the pastor becoming a "lame duck" by providing direction for the remaining months of vital ministry until the retirement date. / Thurs., Oct. 3, 1:00 p.m. - Fri., Oct . 4, 4:00 p.m., 2013
Training for Interim Ministers (Basic Unit, Part I) (1314-06)

There have been plenty of drinking trends over the year including beer bongs, eye shots and shotgunning drinks but a new trend called smoking alcohol has many doctors worried.
So what is smoking alcohol? When someone smokes alcohol, they take a plastic bottle, a cork, a bicycle pump and some alcohol. The alcohol is poured into the plastic bottle, the cork is inserted into the top of the plastic bottle and then the needle of the pump is pushed through the cork. Once this is done, someone need only pump up the pressure in the plastic bottle, then quickly pull the plug out of the top.

North Carolina Where to Find Jobs
The national economy is experiencing a huge shift and that shift is changing how people live.
As the Baby Boomers retire, manufacturing jobs are outsourced overseas, and small farms are consolidated, the way many people in this country once made their living is changing dramatically and North Carolina is no exception.
According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, jobs having to do with:
- textiles and textile products decreased by 30%
- apparel producing jobs decreased by 26%
- furniture producing jobs decreased by 12%
The job market in North Carolina is a microcosm of the nation as a whole, with manufacturing jobs in the 2002 to 2005 period decreasing by 10.9%.
Historically, the North Carolina job market and overall economy relied on manufacturing and farming to sustain a huge portion of its population.
In recent years, the trend has been for the reduction of both manufacturing and farming jobs. This has displaced huge numbers of people. These people have had a hard time finding work because they do not have the education required for the higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs that are available.
To get a job in North Carolina in the manufacturing or farming sectors a person often didn't even need a high school diploma, and these jobs were considered middle-class and enabled people to support a family.
Now, with many of those jobs disappearing, and without an education, many workers are finding themselves having to take unskilled, low paying jobs. Many people do not have the financial resources to get back into training or school programs, so they may get better paying jobs.
At the same time the availability of traditional jobs is decreasing, the coming retirement of many Baby Boomers who hold high level, skilled positions, is creating a demand for skilled workers.
Positions such as teachers, health care workers, business support services and administration in North Carolina are all expected to increase in the coming years.
There are available service related jobs in the restaurant industry, retail sales, hospitality, and tourism, although these are not high paying jobs at entry level positions.
The combination of the retirement of Baby Boomers and the lack of skilled workers to replace them, paired with the reduction of traditional jobs is creating a skills and pay gap that affects the state in different regions and in different ways.
Manufacturing and farming jobs traditionally were located in the rural regions of the state, while the higher skilled jobs were concentrated in the city.
As a result, most of the metropolitan areas in North Carolina are experiencing high growth and prosperity, while the rural areas have experienced decline in both population and economy.
Even though North Carolina has been experiencing an increase in the amount of skilled workers migrating from out of state, there is still a lack of skilled workers in the cities.
This continues to draw more people from instate rural areas, further exacerbating the problem of rural decline in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Commission on Workforce Development estimates there is a demand for about 40,000 skilled workers annually to fill the jobs being created by retiring baby boomers.
There is also increased demand, by that same group, for services from landscaping maintenance to real estate sales to healthcare.
The potential for a hole in the North Carolina workforce has not gone unnoticed.
The North Carolina education system has stepped up efforts to provide job training and education to people who were previously employed in the manufacturing and farming sector. By doing this, North Carolina hopes to fill available skilled jobs, while maintaining the strength of non-urban areas.
If your best place to relocate or retire is North Carolina, this situation is encouraging. Many skilled workers are needed in a variety of positions. The types of available jobs and workers needed will continue to diversify, as the population continues to grow.
The sectors expected to have the highest demand include temporary professional and business services; government positions including education; computer related jobs such as information technology, support, and systems design; and healthcare.
Service related jobs will continue to grow in the restaurant industry, retail sales, hospitality, and tourism. People moving to North Carolina with these skills can expect to find a variety of employment opportunities.
The metropolitan areas not only have the most jobs available, but also the best and highest paying jobs.
According to The North Carolina Commission on Workforce Development, 70% of people live in metropolitan areas and 74% percent of the jobs are located there, with the trend expected to rise to 81%.
Furthermore, residents of the North Carolina metropolitan areas receive as much as 50% more pay than their rural counterparts.
The current unemployment rate for North Carolina is a bit higher than South Carolina .
The metropolitan areas in North Carolina that are experiencing the an unemployment rate lower than state and national rates are:
- Durham, NC (7.3) Piedmont
- Chapel Hill, NC (7.3) Piedmont
- Asheville, NC (7.5) Mountains
- Raleigh, NC (7.8) Piedmont
- Cary, NC (7.8) Piedmont
- Goldsboro, NC (8.4) Coastal
- Jacksonville, NC (8.5) Coastal
Other areas below or at the North Carolina State Unemployment rate are:
- Winston-Salem, NC (8.9) Piedmont
- Greenville, NC (9.3) Coastal
- Fayetteville, NC (9.4)Piedmont
- Burlington, NC (9.6) Piedmont
- Wilmington, NC (9.9) Coastal
- Greensboro, NC (9.9) Coastal
- Charlotte, NC (10.0) Piedmont
- Gastonia, NC (10.0) Piedmont
- Rock Hill, NC (10.0) Piedmont
The areas hardest hit at a 11.7% unemployment rate are:
- Hickory, NC Piedmont
- Lenoir, NC Piedmont
- Morganton, NC Piedmont
Areas expected to experience strong growth and provide opportunities include:
As the economy and population in North Carolina continue to diversify and grow, and students are educated and provided with training for different industries, North Carolina will provide many opportunities for young people and older people alike.

alright, its been a while since i sold my Karmann Ghia Vert. But the story is still one worth hearing. and it shows what kind of guy is a VW guy.
At the time i owned my Ghia for about a week. it was my first VW and I was still learning VW 101. (still am) It was our first nice spring day and i couldnt help but to take the Ghia out for a cruse. It was a great running car but had a few issues that had to be addressed. I just got done changing out the battery, Generator, battery terminals and all conections.
so by this time i was sure i had the charging issue addressed. right? well i was confident so i took it for a longer drive to ft madison iowa. crused along the whindy Missisippi river road along the Illinois side then cut across at the ft madison Iowa bridge. then proceeded south again towards keokuk. It was fun the whole way and the car was behaving great. but by that time i needed some gas so i desided to stop at a gas station in keokuk be for i crossed the bridge into Hamilton Il again. well i filled her up and got in and turned the key anxoius to drive somemore and then she wouldnt even turn over! just a single click! i tried to pop start it numorus times. and still nothing! she was drained! so i was about to start walking home... But then in this small town out of no where pulled in a orange 72' Ghia! It was the one i heard about! I thought people were just getting me worked up becuase ive never seen this car! and a week into owning mine we ran into eachother. we had a little conversation and with out me asking he volenteered to give me a jump start. thankfully i had cables in the front still from before i changed the parts. so he backed his car up to mine and we let it charge a little. with his quiet exaust purring for a few minuites.. by this time we had alot of attention. we were on the main street in keokuk thats also hwy 61 and it was the busiest gas staition in town! well i climbed in and gave the key a turn. well.............. vroom! she started right up! it was then i noticed how much louder my car was then his. and the exaust leak made it worse. I though they all were that crappy sounding! well we exchanged a few more gestures and commented on each others cars. then we took off. i was still upset becuase my car was still broke. but i had a grin on my face the whole way home! i couldnt help but repeating. That was cool! to myself along the way home. it was! after getting home i inspected the car and found the loose ground and disconnected wire on the generator. i found it to be the ground as the wire was for a dash light that would not go off. then the next morning i went to the local exaust shop to get the exaust welded. i didnt have much money after buying the parts to fix the charging issue so i just had him weld the flanges shut where the heat exchager meets the muffler. they both needed replaced so i didnt mind welding them together. it made a world of difference! it sounded almost just like the sound clip of a 356 that i saved on my computer.
having the encounter at the gas station and then having my car sound like my dream car really made me love these things more. dont tell the ghia but after welding the exaust i couldnt help but to imagine i was driving a 356.
thanks for letting me share that story..

Buying a home may never get any cheaper than this. Several housing experts are predicting that this year will be the last chance for bargain hunters to cash in on the best deals of the weak housing market.
With home prices down 34% nationally since 2006 and mortgage rates at historic lows, homes have never been more affordable -- but it won't stay this way for much longer.
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for PNC Financial Services, said he expects home prices to flatten out by the third quarter and start climbing by next year.
A number of factors will help bolster the housing market, he said, including a decline in the number of foreclosures and continued job growth. In addition, homebuyers will have better access to mortgages as they get their finances in order and improve their credit scores.
Some economists, like Trulia's Jed Kolko, expect home prices to pick up even more quickly. Trulia's data shows that the national average for asking prices already increased 1.4% in the first quarter of 2012, compared with the last three months of 2011.
"This is a strong indicator that we will start seeing home price indexes, like the S&P/Case-Shiller, start to report home price increases this summer," he said.
Prospective homebuyers who've been sitting on the fence shouldn't worry if they aren't quite ready to make the leap. Analysts are predicting that the initial price gains will be modest, at least, in most markets.
Hoffman, for example, is forecasting a 2% increase in 2013 compared with 2012. Meanwhile David Stiff, chief economist for Fiserv, predicts that prices will turn in the last quarter of 2012 and will rise 4.2% for the 12 months through September 2013.
Foreclosures start to fade. One major factor that will drive the trend is the cooling of the foreclosure crisis. Stan Humphries, chief economist for Zillow, said that the percentage of mortgage loans 90 days or more late, a good predictor of future foreclosures, is "falling fast."
That percentage dropped 15% year-over-year to 3.1% through the end of 2011, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. And the decline is accelerating: More than 70% of the decline came in the last three months of the year.

Nothing like unbearable tragedy to bring people together.
The last good song Secret had was when they covered Ma Boy.
Thanks Benevenstanciano.
Oh my God, that girl can seriously dance and she's only 16? I need to stop being surprised by these things!
SNSD's Jessica giving Mariah Carey's baseball skills a run for their money
First decent Secret song since Madonna.
For those who don't want to sit for 26 minutes - short version MV for IU's single
I think IU is determined to bore her fans to death. What a let down after Peach. It's like an (even more) watered-down You & I.
I do like it a bit more than You & I actually. And I think it's catchy. But that particular production style is very much ooold news by now, time to move on.
Here's the Peach live
Last edited by Pen Expers; May 11, 2012 at 19:34.
^Now that's more like it!
IU bores me to death. She was a breathe of fresh air without with Good Day, now she only makes copycat versions of her hit songs and they all sound alike !
Well the songs SHE makes aren't copycat versions of anything, but the songs chosen as singles have been formulaic. Also she's incredibly charming in the entire 27 minute video, like the music or not.
The only thing that girl needs is a guitar and a video camera.
Also, if a formulaic single gets her those massive sales numbers, obviously it's working.
I think IU has limitless potential and some great stuff in her repertoire to date. She also has an incredible voice that can carry just about anything. Only thing is the material isn't all the way there yet. But I'm dying to hear what she comes up with for the Japanese album. I think working with some new producers will do her good - especially the ones she's said to be working with. I agree that the Good Day sound should be shelved already.
I love IU but I have not been feeling her material post Good Day. But she is crazily talented, especially for her age. How has she done in Japan so far?
And I wish Secret's Hyosung would just go solo and give us more amazing solo performances like this.
And in amazing/ dreams really do come true news, EXO-K performed the iconic Sorry Sorry (in suits and everything, it's just a fancam though) at the Dream Concert. They all look so handsome. And just for miklc, a Kai focus version of the performance.
Sorry for not posting in ages, can't wait for Dream Concert!
1. Cheryl Cole 2. SNSD 3. Evanescence 4. Kelly Clarkson 5. One Direction 6. Rania 7. 4Minute
We should all go to next year's Dream Concert and just shout random Korean words!
I am all about D.O and then Chanyeol but Kai just has it. He knows how to work it.
And a short Inki teaser for Dalmatian's comeback and a second teaser image:
I wonder whose mini I will like more, Dalmatian or INFINITE's?? Hopefully they are both equally amazing. I am sure both title songs will be in my Top 10 of the year so far.
That photo is everything.
Baek Ji Young - GOOD BOY feat. Yong Jun Hyung Teaser
Ballad Queen releasing hard-hitting, pussy poppin' banger! Thank you K-Pop Gods!

So fabulous, I'm speechless.

Title track sounds great, rest just nice.

Tarantallegra looks like an Azis video.
The infinite title track sounds really good. Can't wait.
ALi - I'm a Woman
Just watch this recent ALi's performance on Immortal Song 2. She truly slayed competition. Girl is so talented and verssatile. I wish she was more popular.

Best steaks ever!! We have been twice now and got great service and awesome food! Loved it!!
National chain rustles up rib eyes, T-bones and fillets in a kid-friendly, Lone Star-inspired setting..
In Short
One of the country's most successful steakhouse empires attracts a casual crowd with huge, reasonably priced steak dinners and a tempered Texan milieu (country music and imposing cattle busts). Wise diners turn off their internal calorie counters, as many menu items arrive fried, covered in cheese, or both. A typically rich meal starts with cheese fries, followed by a blue cheese-crusted fillet. Fried cheesecake ends the night on a note of Texas-sized decadence.
Best fillet mignon anywhere!. The Flo's Fillet melts in your mouth. Yes, you have to wait awhile if dining on a weekend but it is so worth it! Also, you can call ahead, but still plan to wait.
LONGHORNS. I enjoy this place more than most people. I eat here about 2 times a month food is always good ...staff is nice....service is ok...its hard to find good help these days....if you like a friendly atmosphere and good food then GO TO LONGHORNS on harbision i do not know about the other locations
B- Average, not bad, but could be better. Brought 6 guests to place. Called ahead, on a weekday, plenty of open seats....made us wait 15 minutes anyway. Porkchop (and everything else that touched the gravy) was too salty. Prime Rib was ok...but only had two cuts remaining at 630pm! A steakhouse shouldn't run out of prime rib that early....Waiter was friendly, but service was slow. Will not be returning.
Corn fed steaks!. Best steaks in South Carolina and excellent service,beats Outback any day of the week!
