Wingate Entry Mat
New Home Gift
Looks great in the front foyer of their Dutch Colonial home! They loved it...
December 1, 2012
Most Beautiful Mat Ever
This is a beautiful mat. I love the color combination. It is a little lite as it can be blown by the wind some times. I still love it!

color and Quality
You will never believe this one. I live in the country and a fox came up on my porch and pulled the fibers from the rug. Since the rug is a recent purchase and lacks wear, this should be an indicator of inferior quality and durability.

This monogrammed Entry mat looks great in front of our center entrance Colonial! Seems to be made of good quality.

Nice Door Mat
Mat is attractive and arrived without damage and on time. Our mat is in a protected area, therefore, it's durability in an open area subject to all of the elements has not been tested. Very nice design with personalization.

Good purchase
Mat is good quality, nice appearance. Wife thought it too nice to put outside, put it in front of fireplace. Now I need another one for outside.
August 5, 2012
For whatever reason I had the impression the rug was backed with a quality heavy foam which would anchor the rug in place and withstand the elements, such as they are in Tucson. The reality is the rug is
recommended to be periodically professionally cleaned and, in the interim, to be vacuumed but not by using an appliance with a beater brush.
Notwithstanding, we like the rug. We didn't expect to
spend that time caring for it.

What is the backing on this mat?
I need an outdoor front entry mat that will not hold water when it rains. Does this mat have some time of backing to help with drainage? The last mat I ordered from FG stayed wet all the time and never dried out.
8 months ago
It is polycrylic weave, the look of burlap, but cream color. I think it would take days to dry out because it is so plush. I put it inside my door when weather is due, then people can wipe feet once they are inside. It stays perfect. I love it. But I also have a covered porch.8 months ago

If this mat is ordered without a monogram, is the center just left blank, or is there a medallion or something similar placed there?
Also, if an "O" monogram is used, is there any flair to the letter, or will it just look like a circle within a circle?
9 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. If the non-monogrammed option is chosen, the middle of the mat would be left blank. When selecting the letter "O", it would appear in a traditional font with the sides of the letter being slightly thicker than the top and the bottom. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Hawaii Travel Tips and Tricks
A while back, I blogged about the financial benefits of flying to your vacation destination and renting a car rather than driving – mainly due to the outrageous cost of gasoline. Just a thought however, that you need to consider before going this route…
Due to some recent regulatory changes, you must now have a regular credit card to rent a car. You are no longer permitted to use a debit or secured credit card for rental cars unless you have a significant amount of available cash on your account to hold against the expected charge. Those companies that do allow a rental with a debit
card often put an authorization hold on the debit card, as much as $500. Yes, the unused funds will be returned to your account after you return the car, but it might
take up to two weeks for the funds to be released back to your account.
So the best thing to do is get a credit card specifically for the trip. The nationally known Credit Cards Club is a good place to research credit cards and find the type of card that will work best for you. What I particularly like is the way the club lists card choices by category (i.e. rewards cards, no annual fee cards, balance transfer cards, etc.) – very handy.
So make sure you have your proverbial ducks in a row before you approach the rental car counter. Keep your debit card for Applebee's and have a regular credit card when arranging your travel wheels.

What time is it in Hawaii??
All of the Hawaiian Islands are on Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time.
The states of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii, along with the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa are the only places in the U.S. that do not observe DST but instead stay on "standard time" all year long.
The time is…

With gas prices at record highs, are you taking extraordinary measures to cut down on your fuel expenses? Perhaps you're walking to work or not letting your car idle anymore? Maybe you've begun carpooling or consolidated your family down to one vehicle??
Here in Honolulu, my family has always used City Pharmacy on Palani Avenue as our regular hometown pharmacy. It's reasonably close to our home, stocked well with anything and everything we could possibly need, and we know the owners and staff on a first name basis. Although City Pharmacy is close to home, Honolulu traffic means that this round trip journey is now a 2-3 gallon adventure – too much in these days of higher fuel costs.
As much as we love our local pharmacy, it makes sense to cut corners where we can. After some googling about the problem, we found that ordering online prescriptions is becoming the norm rather than the exception – people are turning to the Internet for their prescription needs because of increasing gasoline prices. The online pharmacy we chose shipped right to our door – efficient, inexpensive, and fast.
Would you consider an online pharmacy to combat rising fuel costs? If you can't decide which online pharmacy to try out, try eDrugstore.md which has become the Internet's leading online pharmacy. They have US licensed pharmacists and physicians and they have a strict policy to distribute only FDA-approved prescription medications.
Good luck in your efforts to beat the rising fuel costs. If you have any other fuel saving suggestions, please leave me a comment!

My Warriors are not doing so well
Lots of missed opportunities yesterday added up to a pretty deflating loss for Hawaii U, and our post-season bowl hopes are vanishing kinda' quickly. I agonized with my friends as we went scoreless on four of our five trips to the red zone (including three that were inside the Utah State 9) and I shed a tear when Utah State defeated us 30-14.
The Warriors stay on the road this week and face New Mexico State on Saturday in Las Cruces. They now have to go 3-1 down the stretch to remain bowl eligible.

As you can tell by today's multiple posts, I'm now getting caught up on things and have some extra time for blogging, chatting, surfing, and SHOPPING!!
I just made a purchase online that was so amazingly good that I had to share it. Sears is having a clearance sale online and they're taking 75% – 80% of their original prices on lots of fall and winter clothing. It's usually not that big of a deal, but today I found the cutest Satin Avalon dress in fuchsia that I'm going to wear to a spring cocktail party next week. It was originally $78 and I bought it for $17.99!
The catalog description says, "this sweet dress mixes sultry satin with a deep, shiny jewel finish.
The pin tucked waistline finishes the gown in a pleated style with barely-there spaghetti straps." It looks super sexy to me and my boyfriend is going to love it.
Isn't it adorable??
Here's a screen shot from the website where I bought it. You can view the dress in detail from it's description page on the Sears website. You can even move your cursor over different parts of the dress to get a detailed closeup.
Very cool!

Beaches and sunshine – yes, but that's just one of the many facets of Hawaii. The Aloha State has been associated with celebrity glitz and glamor for decades and continues to this day.
Take Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, for instance. Dark, lean and lovely, Nicole was born in Hawaii and is actually consideredkānaka (native Hawaiian). Born in Honolulu to a Filipino father and a Hawaiian/Russian mother, Nicole even sports a Hawaiian middle name – "Elikolani," which can be translated to mean "heavenly child."

Hawaii contains a number of live volcanoes and is probably one of the most geologically studied places in the entire world. At the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, visitors can check out an amazing pit crater called Halemaumau, and they can discover many interesting facts about Hawaii and volcanoes in general. On display are the results of years of volcanic evolution on the Big Island. Guests can tour the park, camp there if they choose, and go to the many events that highlight the history and unique geological aspects of the island.
On the Big Island there are five volcanoes: Kohala; Mauna Kea; Hualalai; Mauna Loa; and Kilauea. Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea are all active volcanoes and in some places you can actually see the lava flowing. All of Hawaii was formed by volcanoes and the islands continue to move and grow. This makes this State unique in the U.S. and many tourists go to Hawaii to see the forces of mother earth in action.

If you plan to visit us in Honolulu, make sure you check with your wireless provider before placing that first telephone call across the sea! Hawaii is expensive enough, and you sure don't want to be greeted by a monster phone bill when you arrive back home.
Now that you've agreed to put your cell phone away, remember that it's quite expensive to make trans-Pacific phone calls without some proper planning. You could spend hundreds of dollars on prepaid phone cards at our local retailers – not good. Or, you can buy your calling card online before you travel and save a ton.
My aunt in Kansas City used to buy a $5 phone card here that would allow her to talk about 30 minutes maximum. With a $5 card from therich.com however, she can talk about 169 minutes – big difference!
So to summarize, my best suggestion is to turn the wireless phone off and use a prepaid phone card. A prepaid phone card is super convenient and can definitely help control your phone bills when you're calling home from Hawaii. Use an online vendor like therich.com rather than a retail outlet and you'll save a lot of bucks, plus have no worries about the mail carrier when you get home!

When I travel, my new iPhone is always with me. My service package has unlimited data, unlimited calls, and unlimited texting so I pretty much have my phone lit up all the live long day. It's a quadband (world phone) and I have used it all over the world – Japan, Mainland USA, New Zealand, Australia – I have put it to the test for sure!
So I just found this cool new phone skin and have officially retired my Mickey Mouse case – it was time for me to grow up a bit anyway I guess. My new "grown up" iphone case is an invisibleSHIELD from IZAGG – kind of a clear film that covers the phone and protects it from the inevitable scratches (fortunately, my iPhone is brand new and my new skin should keep it as pristine as the day I took it out of the box). According to the packaging, the invisibleSHIELD is only .2 millimeters thick so it's by far the slimmest iPhone skin of its kind.
Do you own an iPhone? Has it tested gravity yet? Please leave me a comment!

(RNN) – The mystery is revealed: Green Lantern will become DC Comic's most high profile gay character in June. No, it's not that Green Lantern.
Alan Scott, the first man to wield the green power ring in 1940, is welcomed home with a kiss from his boyfriend in the upcoming issue of Earth 2. DC featured a multi-page preview of the story on its online blog.
On Friday, Entertainment Weekly spoke with the comic's writer, James Robinson. He pointed out to EW that Scott, who had been heterosexual, would not be coming out in the traditional sense.
Instead, the superhero's change was part of his introduction in the "New 52" reboot of the DC Universe.
"The original version of Alan Scott was an older man, and he had a superpowered son, Obsidian, who was gay," Robinson said. "The fact that Scott was young [thanks to the reboot] now meant Obsidian no longer existed. I thought it was a shame that DC was losing such a positive gay character.
"I said, 'Why not make Alan Scott gay?' To [DC co-publisher] Dan DiDio's credit, when I suggested it to him, there wasn't a moment's hesitation."
On May 20, DiDio made the initial announcement at a London comic convention, but did not say who it would be. DC officials only said it would be a "major" and "iconic" character that had not been seen since the new launch of the company's titles in 2011.
Many people associate the title of Green Lantern to Hal Jordan, the member of the Justice League of America alongside Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Jordan, the most famous "Emerald Knight," also was portrayed in the 2011 movie.
But Scott came along nearly two decades prior. And he has been a fixture of the DC Universe for more than 70 years, most notably as a member of the Justice Society of America.
Robinson said the changes made would merely be aspects of the hero's life; they would not define him.
"He's an interesting, complex character that I think people will respond to on many levels. He's the epitome of heroism. And I hope that he's a positive representation of a gay man."
Marvel Comics, the other major publisher, announced they would be featuring the first same-sex marriage seen in its pages. On June 20, Astonishing X-Men No. 51 will show the wedding ceremony for Northstar, a male member of the superhero group, and his longtime boyfriend.

HEWORDCARRI OF Santee Normal Training School. VOLUME IJX HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG NUMBER 7 SANTEE, NEBRASKA. November-December, 1930 FIFTY (' SNTS PER YEAR A VETERAN MISSIONARY'S SUMMARY 1876-1930 In June, 1930, we were gathered at Nishu— the name of our Ree settlement. A large tent was put up near the church, and forty others were around in the usual Indian circle. There were three hundred or .more people in camp; nearly all having come in autos; so there were no longer the olcl type teepee in sight. On Sunday afternoon the big tent was full with the mingled tribes of Indians and a sprinkling of whites. There was some white blood that had beeu more than sprinkled. In every crowd of this kind there is a fringe of white curiosity hunters. There are other folks who like getting together for any reason. There are some who have indefinite spiritual impulses. In every church there are members like Roaming Fox, who, when reproved for unfaithfulness, countered : "Why! AVhenever a member died, I was at the funeral." Or like another Fox, or Goose, who doffed his citizens dress and went "back to the blanket" to save his face and salve his conscience when he brought wood to sell on Sunday. But there were others like the woman who came with her precious dollars in a cloth and wanted change so that she could put some- of it in the contribution. That doesn't seem of any importance, but she was one of those who had wandered away, and this was her way of telling me that she was coming back and giving herself with her money to her God. In that company in the tent on that June afternoon there was a spiritual atmosphere that came near to making a perfect day. One or two of the men had almost "fallen on my neck.' Some of the more mature women had clung to my hand. Many were feeling what some had said: 'We are so glad you came long ago to tell us this good news." Some, perhaps, were thinking of ancestors who had died in the dark past. The tent was across the bottom land from the old village site. Fifty-four years before I gave my first message there to the fathers and grandfathers of those before me. As I preached about the life that does not end with death, I thought of many who had gone on, many more than those before me, many, I hope, to the place prepared. We received some of the sons and daughters into the church thai; day. We baptised, among others, a grandchild of one of my first Ree friends, and a great grandchild of my beloved Abraham Poor-wolf, who had passed on twenty years before. And then we communed together, and gave an offering that went 'to two men who were sick. The music of the closing hymn floated out over the prairie. We came away with some good impressions of that camp meeting. One is that this annual meeting of the churches of the reservation, after four years of Mr. Case's guidance, has become an institution. It will be looked forward to by our Christian forces with desire, and strengthen fellowship and service. It is a going and a growing concern. It substitutes a religious "good time" for rodeos, dances and commercial entertainments that lower the standards of our community. Another impression is that the people are thinking and acting for themselves and finding expression for their thoughts. There were separate groups of men and of women to discuss their problems. The children were being taught and entertained out in the sunshine while their elders listened to the speeches and thought things over and prayed. Indians who have not become sophisticated talk about and pray to God as naturally as they eat and drink. The older, people easily and simply tell of their religious experiences, and pray to their new-found Father in heaven. The younger people who have been taken to school among the whites grow like tis and loose their child-likeness. Thinking and expressing religion is not cant, if it is sincere. The expression can be "seasoned with salt," and made tasteful to the saving of Timothy and those who hear him.'That is true in any tribe or society. Then we note that our Indians are disappearing. The Teutons, Scandinavians and other tribes that have come across the ocean to North Dakota, are disappearing in our mixed society. Our little handful of remnants of tribes cannot hope long to retain a distinct life. The Indians that met the Pilgrims have disappeared, absorbed in the mass of American life. The few translations we have made and the native songs will be historic relics soon, just as John Elliot's are; but they, also, have done their work. The young people, many of them, have forgotten how to talk their native language. People at our meeting had no Indian dress. They had learned to use the white man's garb decently and even tastefully. That, too, in spite of the poverty that often confined their choice from catalogs to poor or shoddy goods. Our people had become part of our State Conference, which is now in its forty-ninth year. They have their part in its work and in time, will not be distinct from the rest. We will all be one in Christ and have a^ family likeness. No! Our people are not vanishing. Far from it. They are disappearing like the rest of us, immigrants -as we are, to make Christian citizens. The colorful picturesqueness of gypsy-like Indian life has largely gone, except in pageantry. The glamour and romance has faded along with the horrors of savagery. This is what we have been working for! If the race adds a spiritual strain of peculiar piquancy and charm to the composite pattern of our American life, in the future only an expert may be able to tell from whence it came.— C. L. Hall. THE DEATH OF HORACE WrARNER Many of the friends of Santee and of our Dakota Mission will remember Mrs. Anna Riggs Warner, sister of Dr. A. L. Riggs, who was frequently connected with our mission and always very much interested in it. And many of our friends will remember Anna Riggs' husband, Mr. Horace Everett Warner, Mrs. Warner passed away four years ago and it is of Mr. Warner that we are quoting as follows from the Evening Star of Washington, D. C: Funeral services for Horace Warner, 92 years old, Civil War veteran, who died yesterday at his residence, 1101 Clifton street, were held this afternoon at Lee's chapel, 332 Pennsylvania avenue, Rev. Dr. Charles Noble, formerly of Grinnell College, officiating. Interment will be at Fairhope, Ala. Until his retiremen 25 years ago, Mr. Warner, a resident here for more than 45 years, had been an examiner in the old Bureau of Pensions. Since his retirement.he had divided his time between New Hampshire, Flori da and Washington. He was a member of the First Congregational Church and organizer there of the Ethical Club. Mr. Warner was born in 1839 at Kirt- land, Ohio, then, a frontier settlement. His family later moved to Wisconsin. At the outbreak of the Civil War Mr. Warner, then a student at Beloit College, enlisted with the 22d AA7isconsin Infantry. He was twice hospitalized with serious illness, was captured and exchanged as a prisoner, and finally lost an arm at Resaca during Sherman's "march to the sea." With the end of the war, Mr. Warner returned to Beloit College, graduating in 1867. After a period of law practice in Iowa, he came to Washington. Mr. Warner, since his first literary ventures at college, had been interested in writing, especially poetry, and his poems appeared in leading magazines of twenty-five years ago. He published two books, "The Ethics of Force," an argument against war, and a volume of poetry, "The Cricket's Song and Other Melodies." Mr. Warner, whose wife died four years ago, is survived by a daughter and two sons: Marjorie F. AVarner, research librarian in the Department of Agriculture; Arther AArarner, associate editor of the Nation, New Yprk, and Everett Warner, an artist represented in the Corcoran Gallery of Art and a member of the faculty of the College of Fine Arts, .Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh. • DESCENDENTS OF THE PONDS HAVE REUNION The descendents of. Gideon H. and Samuel W. Pond, two of Minnesota's earliest missionary pioneers, gathered at Bloomington a few weeks ago for their nineteenth annual picnic and reunion. The Pond brothers, as missionaries to the Indians, built the first house in Minneapolis on the shores of Lake Calhoun in 1834- They had come from Connecticut when the Mississippi River was the extreme frontier, and Fort Snelling the only white settlement within a radius of many miles. They came to convert the savage Indian. The village of St. Anthony, which became Minneapolis, had not yet been founded, and trackless forest was everywhere. Where Lakewood cemetery now stands, the two Pond brothers many times heard the yells of the warring Dakotas as they dangled scalps of the enemy Chippewas. In 1852 Gideon moved to Bloomington and built Lake Grove church, of which he was pastor. Samuel went to Shakopee, where he died in 1891. Gideon died in 1878. The two Pond brothers made early history in Hennepin county. Gideon was the first editor and publisher in the county. He had a monthly paper printed partly in English and partly in the Dakota Indian language. The marriage of Samuel to Cordelia Eggleston in 1838 was the first marriage solemnized within the present limits of Minneapolis. Gideon was the author of several school books and hymns which were translated into the Sioux or Dakota Indian language. The Pond brothers had a large part in the reducing of the Indian language to writing. In 1849 Gideon Pond was elected a representative to the first territorial legislature, which met in St. Paul.

If you have no ideas for dinner, one of my old tricks to spark some creativity is to choose a letter from the alphabet and work around that letter with a great menu plan that can get quite a lot of attention.
For example, my dear friend, Ruth, picked the letter "L" recently while we strolled through the local supermarket in search of inspiration because we had no ideas for dinner. Hmm, that would be lard, lemonade, and linguine, I said to her.
"Remember when we used to have food cooked with lard?" she mused. "Yes, and that's when food had a better flavor," I quipped back, knowing that the use of melted pig fat for frying and baking is taboo in most restaurants and health-conscious homes these days. "So, we'll take lard off our no-ideas-for-dinner list."
We moved to the fresh fruit aisle and picked out some nice lemons to make our lemonade beverage for our no-ideas-for-dinner dinner. My basic recipe is one cup sugar to one cup lemon juice, and the rest is approximately two quarts of water (or whatever amount of water fills my pitcher). I always slice the lemon into slivers after squeezing and add it to the lemonade. Makes a nice presentation and the lemon oil in the peeling intensifies the lemonade flavor.
Liverwurst – A nice paté on crackers for an appetizer.
Lettuce - We could have a mixed greens salad with a Louis dressing (mayonnaise and chili sauce, minced green onion, chopped green chiles).
Linguine with Lobster Sauce – Rich but would make a lovely entrée. Lobster sauce is available ready-made in jars and some deli sections of the supermarket.
Ladyfingers or Layer Cake – How about a few ladyfingers or a slice of layer cake for dessert drizzled with Limóncello (lemon liqueur), which would go nicely with coffee au lait (and compliment the lemonade).
Ruth and I fixed our "L" no-ideas-for-dinner dinner, and it was delightful. After so many years of trying to be creative, we actually enjoy using the random letter approach occasionally when we have no ideas for dinner (seems to be happening more frequently these days, LOL).
I wonder how a No-Ideas-for-Dinner Cookbook would work using just the alphabet for inspiration (and Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software of course.) I'll have to think about that.
Happy Cookbooking,

At the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland, the remains of an 11th-century Viking settlement are evidence of the first European presence in North America. The excavated remains of wood-framed peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland.
À la pointe de la péninsule Great Northern de l'île de Terre-Neuve, les vestiges d'un établissement viking du XIe siècle confirment la première présence européenne en Amérique du Nord. Les vestiges mis au jour d'édifices en mottes de tourbe entre des charpentes de bois sont similaires à ceux trouvés au Groenland et en Islande.
في رأس شبه جزيرة غريت نورثرن التابعة لجزيرة نيوفوندلاند، تدلّ الآثار المتبقية من مستوطنة للفيكينغ تعود إلى القرن الحادي عشر على أولّ وجود بشري أوروبي في أميركا الشمالية. وتشبه آثار هذه الأبنية المشيّدة من وحل التربة والمحفورة بين هياكل خشبية تلك المكتشفة في الغرونلاند وإيسلندا.
Остатки поселения викингов XI в. на оконечности Большого Северного полуострова острова Ньюфаундленд являются свидетельством первого появления европейцев в Северной Америке. Раскопанные остатки зданий из торфа с деревянным каркасом похожи на аналогичные, найденные в Северной Гренландии и в Исландии.
Situado en el extremo de la Gran Península del Norte de la isla de Terranova, este parque alberga los vestigios de un asentamiento vikingo del siglo XI, que prueban una primera presencia de los europeos en el continente americano desde esa época. Las excavaciones han puesto al descubierto vestigios de edificios construidos con terrones de turba y armazones de madera, aní¡logos a los encontrados en Groenlandia e Islandia.
This archaeological site at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland contains the excavated remains of an 11th century Viking settlement consisting of timber-framed turf buildings (houses, workshops, etc.) that are identical with those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland at the same period. The site is thus unique evidence of the earliest known European presence on the American continent.
Criterion (vi) L'Anse aux Meadows is the first and only known site established by Vikings in North America and the earliest evidence of European settlement in the New World. As such, it is a unique milestone in the history of human migration and discovery.
Recognized in 1960, excavated from 1961 to 1968 and then from 1973 to 1976, and protected by Parks Canada since1977, the Epaves Bay archaeological site, which is located near Anse aux Meadows, at the northern extremity of Newfoundland is of great importance in the history of the settlement of Rwarica. The earliest sign of human activity go back roughly 5,000 years and among the prehistoric and protohistoric populations which succeeded one another is a well-defined branch of Eskirms (Dorset Eskimos) which has been shown to have existed from about AD 400-700. A temporary settlement for fishermen, this coastal site, which is located on a coastline covered by peat bogs, would appear to have been abandoned for roughly a century. During the 9th century it was re-established by an archaic native population similar to that from which, during the historic era, the Beothuk 'Indians' descended.
Until about 1500, this population maintained a quasi-permanent settlement, many traces of which have been found in the bay and surrounding area. This occupation, whether seasonal or continuous, was not the only presence in the area. The exceptional significance of l'Anse aux Meadows arises precisely from a temporary Viking settlement comprising eight houses, one forge and four workshops. The excavations provided detailed information on the settlement, implements and lifestyle of the occupants. The large houses (the most spacious of which measured respectively 24 m by 4.5 m and 19 m by 14 m) are characterized by the building techniques used, which are similar to those in use in Norway during the same period: a structure covered with turf taken from the peat bog; a type of especially pointed roof; thick peat partitions on the sod floors; layout of the rooms, fireplaces and openings. The objects found include a number which fall clearly within the categories of Viking artefacts such as a stone oil lamp, a balance, a birch bark case for a ballast stone, etc.
Near the forge, the low-shaft furnace (which is partially conserved) a deposit of slag was found. The fifty-odd forged iron objects (nails, rivets, buckles, etc.) that were found both in the dwellings and workshops comply with the normal typology of late Viking settlements along the Norwegian coastline.
The excavation of L'Anse aux Meadows was conducted on a vulnerable site and followed by extensive laboratory study. It was possible, thanks to a palaeo-ecological study making use of seed and pollen fossils, to reconstruct the long-term landscape and surroundings of this human settlement. In spite of the astonishing appearances of its archaeological vestiges, L'Anse aux Meadows is an outstanding property of human heritage. It is a precious and, until now, unique milestone in the history of human migration and the discovery of the universe: it is the oldest settlement of European origin in America.

LUMBERTON — All three incumbent Robeson County commissioners won their Democratic primary races on Tuesday, with Raymond Cummings facing the most difficult challenge in District 5, winning by 148 votes.
For the second time, Cummings barely defeated a strong challenge from Lacy Cummings. This year's battle mirrored their 2008 race in which Raymond Cummings defeated Lacy Cummings by 203 votes.
Raymond Cummings, a commissioner for 16 years, received 1,683 votes, or 52.30 percent, of the total 3,218 votes cast. Lacy Cummings garnered 1,535 votes, or 47.70 percent, of the total.
All of the vote totals are unofficial until next week.
"This was a vote of confidence," Raymond Cummings, a resident of Philadelphus and Transportation director for the Public Schools of Robeson County, said late Tuesday. "I appreciate the citizens in District 5 who voted for me. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve them and represent them on the board. I promise to continue to work hard and make good decisions that will move the county forward in a positive direction."
Lacy Cummings, a resident of the Mt. Airy community, could not be reached for comment. He is a farmer and the owner of both Pembroke Tire and the NAPA auto parts store in Pembroke.
Since no Republicans ran for the seats in District 1,3 and 5, Tuesday's winner will not face opposition in the General Election in November.
District 1
In District 1, six-year veteran board member Jerry Stephens defeated political newcomer James Smith. Stephens, a Lumberton resident, received 1,377 votes, or 58.52 percent of the 2,353 votes cast. Smith received 672 votes, or 28.56 percent of the total votes cast.
Although he had withdrawn from the race, Lumberton City Councilman John Cantey still drew 304 votes, or 12.92 percent of the total. Cantey withdrew from the race after the ballots for Tuesday's primary election were already printed.
"This has been a hotly contested race. It's been a lot of work," Stephens said. "But the people I serve in the district know I'm active and visible in the community."
Stephens said he doesn't plan on resting.
"I'm going to become even more engaged in the community," he said. "There are some things that I want to get done while I'm on the board."
Stephens owns and operates Professional Services Insurance Agency, Jerry Stephens and Associates Marketing Firm, and Jerry Stephens and Sons Used Cars.
Smith, who served as Project Safe Neighborhoods community coordinator for the Lumberton Police Department before his retirement, could not be reached late Tuesday for comment.
District 3
In District 3, incumbent Roger Oxendine easily defeated Pembroke businessman Mickey Locklear. Oxendine received 1,774, or 71.76 percent of the 2,472 votes cast, while Locklear collected 698, or 28.24 percent of the total votes.
Oxendine, an agri-businessman from Rowland, has served as a commissioner for six years.
"I am so humbled by the support I got from the District 3 voters," Oxendine said. "I look forward to continue serving the people of the district and intend to do the very best job I can do … . We have made a lot of accomplishments in the last four years and we will make a lot more in the coming years."
Locklear, the manager of the McDonald's in Pembroke since 2005, had previously run for the District 3 seat. He said Tuesday that in spite of his loss to Oxendine he is considering another run for the seat sometime in the future.
"I want to thank all of the people who supported me in this election," he said.
District 7
In District 7, Democrat Tom Taylor, who was unopposed on Tuesday, will face political newcomer Dennis Harrell during the General Election.
Harrell, a Lumberton resident who from 1985 to 2010 served as pastor of Hyde Park Baptist Church, received 327 votes, or 67.98 percent of the 481 votes cast, to defeat James "Joey" McLellan, a student at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke who, received 154 votes.
"I'm thankful to the people who voted for me and I'm looking forward to November," Harrell said. "This election is all about building the economy and bringing good jobs to the area.
"I won't try to think up ways of taking people's hard earned money with new taxes," he said. "We have enough taxes."
McLellan said that he mustered about as many votes as he expected he would as a political newcomer. He also said he plans to run again for a seat on the county Board of Commissioners in four years.

What's scarier than a bloodthirsty vampire bent on destruction? How about one of the oldest, most powerful, virtually indestructible vampire determined to go on a 10-year murder spree? Meet Klaus. He's the latter. He's got all the strengths of a vampire and none of the weaknesses. What sort of lottery did he win? Well, Klaus is more than just a vampire: His father was also a werewolf, which means that the Original Vampire is a terrifying hybrid.
Klaus has been undead for 1,000 years. Along with four of his siblings, Klaus was turned into a vampire by his mother, Esther. This kept the family safe from the local werewolf population, but Klaus turned on his mother (and killed her) when she cursed him and took away his werewolf power.
In 1491, Klaus met Katherine at his family's estate in England. He tried to use the Petrova girl to break the curse that made him vulnerable to daylight and unable to harness his werewolf power, but was unsuccessful. Although she managed to escape Klaus's clutches, Katherine had to turn vamp to do so.
It took hundreds of years for Katherine's doppelganger to come into existence, but it finally happened in the form of Elena Gilbert. The necessary ingredient to his curse-breaking spell was enough to lure Klaus to Mystic Falls, and he's clearly not through with E and her crew yet.
Fast facts:
1. Klaus comes from a family full of bloodsuckers, including his older brother Elijah and his sister, Rebekah.
2. After (sort of) killing Elena and murdering Aunt Jenna, a witch, and a werewolf, Klaus garnered full use of both his vampire and werewolf sides.
3. Because he's an Original and a hybrid, it's damn near impossible to kill Klaus.
4. Klaus has a thing for Caroline, but she's pretty good at avoiding his advances.

The only reason I did not rent an apartment from Deondra is that during our search I received a call from a friend advising of a perfect unlisted opportunity. I was VERY impressed with Deondra's professionalism and attentiveness. She listened to my desires and concerns and worked hard to come up with options that respected both. I would call upon Deondra to assist me again in future and highly recommend her to others.
Kenya **** wrote...
Deondra was very professional and knowledgeable about the units we saw. She spent time with me getting an understanding of what I needed and what I was looking for but yet being honest with me about what neighborhoods would best fit the needs and price point. She didn't waste my time or hers by showing me units that she knew I wouldn't like or weren't what I could afford. If you are looking for someone who will stick with you through the rental process, someone who will listen to your needs and do everything she can to find your next home, then contact Deondra. I am continuing to use her and will recommend her to anyone looking.

Under the guidelines of the NBA's concussion protocol, it seems highly unlikely Hill returns in time for Game 6 on Saturday against the Knicks. He may not be back for Game 7 on Monday, either, if it is necessary. Hill was diagnosed with a concussion on Thursday afternoon -- about three hours before tipoff of Game 5. He will need to go through a lengthy series of tests before he returns to the floor. Per the NBA's concussion policy, which was implemented at the beginning of the 2011-12 season, Hill first needs to show that he is symptom-free.
Analysis: Keep an eye on Hill's status, and hopefully he can return for Game 6 and doesn't have any concussion issues moving forward. When healthy and active, Hill is a quality Fantasy option in the majority of leagues.
News: The Boston Globe reports that Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has two years left on his contract but is considering retirement. He turns 37 Sunday. I dont think I have the answers that Kevin will want, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. So Ive got to figure theres a lot to do [before we talk], and I think theres a lot of questions in Kevins mind, as there is every year, to determine whether hes coming back.Im not ready to answer everything that he will want to know.
Analysis: Garnett had another productive year, averaging 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 78.6 percent from the foul line. He will likely return if the Celtics keep Paul Pierce, but that's just speculation. Keep an eye on what happens with the Celtics, and if Garnett is back consider him a solid No. 2 Fantasy center worth a mid-round pick.
News: The Boston Globe reports the Celtics have to decide by June 30 whether to buy out Paul Pierces contract at $5 million. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said the sides have not had discussions, but an NBA source said Pierces family is already beginning to prepare for relocation from Boston, assuming the Celtics will execute the buyout or trade his expiring contract in the offseason.Pierce struggled mightily during the playoffs, and Ainge was asked whether the longtime Celtic was injured. Pauls always battling little things, said Ainge. I think Pauls healthy, but he played so hard and carried such a heavy load. Paul had a terrific year this year, but in the playoffs, New York did a good job of taking away his strengths and taking advantage of some of our weaknesses. But I thought Paul had a terrific year.
Analysis: This report makes it seems as though Pierce could be gone, but we'd be surprised if that happens. That said, the Celtics do need to start rebuilding at some point. Keep an eye on what happens with Pierce and where he ends up. He would remain a quality starting option in all leagues no matter where he plays, but we'd like him best if he returned to Boston.
News: The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said that the plantar fasciitis in center Joakim Noahs right foot could require surgery, but that Noah would try rehabilitation first. That hasnt been determined, Thibodeau said of Noah undergoing surgery. Obviously, wed like to avoid the surgery. He has responded a lot better. He has found something that has worked. "We want him to get completely healthy That will be the focus, getting him back to 100 percent. He needs some rest, as most of the guys do."
Analysis: We hope whatever Noah decides to do with his foot will get him back to being 100 percent for the start of next season. When healthy and active, Noah is an elite Fantasy center in the majority of leagues. He is worth drafting as early as Round 3 or 4 in most formats.
News: The Racine Journal-Times reports that Bucks guard J.J. Redick could be departing this summer. Redick loved Orlando, and was very upset when he was traded. It's not likely that he would return to the Magic, considering their rebuilding condition, but he'll finally be in a position to make his own choices for his career. Redick could want to sign with a contender for less money, or an up-and-coming team for more. Redick averaged 12 points and three assists on just 40 percent shooting in Milwaukee after averaging 15 points and four assists per game with Orlando before the trade deadline.
Analysis: Keep an eye on where Redick ends up, and hopefully he lands with a team where he can get playing time and post quality stats. He is worth drafting with a late-round pick in the majority of leagues depending on where he signs.
News: The New York Post reports that Knicks center Tyson Chandler hurt his back and knee with a late tumble Thursday night against the Pacers and left the court in the final minute for the locker room. He said hes sore, but will play Saturday in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Indiana. I probably wont get the best nights sleep," Chandler said.
Analysis: We hope Chandler can play against the Pacers and that he doesn't have any issues going forward with his back or knee. When healthy and active, Chandler is a solid Fantasy center in the majority of leagues.
News: The San Antonio Express-News reports that Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard's knee is a "storyline for the next round" after San Antonio beat Golden State in the Western Conference semifinals. The Spurs will next face Memphis in the conference finals. The report says the knee is bothering him and "mild cause for concern."
Analysis: We expect Leonard to play against the Grizzlies in the next round, but keep an eye on what develops with his knee. When healthy and active, Leonard is a developing Fantasy option in the majority of leagues.
News: The Contra Costa Times reports that guard Jarrett Jack would like to return to the Warriors next season. Golden State was eliminated from the playoffs by San Antonio in the Western Conference semifinals. Usually before I would do any media, I would make sure I was dressed a certain way," he said. "I brought one of my best suits. But looking down at this jersey, its just a sense of pride I dont think Ive ever felt as a professional.
Nothing in my closet is better than what I have on now. His future with the Warriors is uncertain. Jack, who made $5 million this season, will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. He played a pivotal role in the Warriors success as the backup point guard and the late-game ball-handler. So much so, Golden State reached out for extension talks back in January, but Jack declined before talks could get going so he could focus on the season.
Analysis: Based on his performance with the Warriors, Jack is expected to get several opportunities and lots of money on the free agent market. Whether he takes the more lucrative offer elsewhere, or whether the Warriors make a competitive offer to keep him, that will all be figured out this summer. But Jack was never more clear about for whom he wants to play: Golden State. Keep an eye on where he ends up next season. He should remain a late-round flier no matter where he signs.
News: The New York Daily News reports that Kurt Thomas is undecided about whether to regain his title as the NBAs oldest player next season. Honestly, I havent thought much about it, the former Knick said. Im just concentrating on getting healthy. Thomas is recovering from right foot surgery and is two weeks from being off crutches. The 40-year-old is a free agent after the Knicks released him last month in order to add a player to the postseason roster. I definitely miss being around the guys, Thomas said over the telephone from his home in Dallas. I miss being a part of the playoffs. And I just miss being around basketball. I love the game.
Analysis: Keep an eye on what happens with Thomas heading into next season, but even if he plays somewhere he would have minimal Fantasy value. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.
News: After being held scoreless in Game 4, Bulls guard Nate Robinson bounced back in Wednesday's elimination game against the Heat. Unfortunately, despite scoring 21 points on 6 of 15 shooting, Robinson's season came to a close in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Robinson added six rebounds and five rebounds, while turning the ball over four times in 47 minutes, in a 94-91 loss. He finished the postseason averaging 16.3 points per game in 12 contests.
Analysis: Robinson had his finest regular season since 2008-09, averaging 13.1 points and 4.4 assists in just 25.4 minutes per game. Robinson has clearly grown as a player, and he enters free agency at a good time. Coming off a successful year in the Bulls' elite defense will help his value on the market as well. Robinson is unlikely to get a starting role, but an increase in minutes would not be terribly surprising coming off his postseason successes. Robinson should be worth targeting in the mid-to-late rounds on Draft Day in most Fantasy formats.

Which Are You Buying First? 360 or PS3? and why?
I'll be getting 360 when it gets released as I couldn't wait to play a next-gen title. Besides 360 has good exclusive titles of their own which I don't wanna miss out such as Gears of War. Of course I'll also be getting the PS3 when it comes out, there's some great exclusive titles in there like MGS4. So actually I'll be getting both just cause both systems have exclusive titles which I want to play. And also I work harder

Saturday's high school roundup: Beaumont volleyball advances to final four
Beaumont has earned its second straight trip to the Division II state volleyball tournament.
The Blue Streaks defeated Canfield, 25-11, 25-16, 25-11, to clinch the regional championship at Stow-Munore Falls on Saturday night.
The Blue Streaks (19-7) advance to a state semifinal on Thursday at 2 p.m. vs. Columbus St. Francis DeSales (25-2), the winner of the Zainesville Regional.
"To return to state, a couple things have to happen," Beaumont coach Pat Royer said. "You have to peak at the right time, and you have to get healthy at the right time. We have done both."
Royer was pleased with Courtney Bowman's performance and the play from his three passers in the back row — Val Shepka, Mairin Jerse and Macie Pifer. Earlier this season, Bowman suffered an ankle injury, but she has returned strong.
Also leading the way for the Blue Streaks were Molly Davet (14 kills), Toni Anderson (nine kills) and Lauren Youngblood (nine kills).
"We knew we could not look past anyone," Royer said. "Basically, we have everyone back from last year, and we brought up a couple of freshmen. They knew what they needed to do to return to state."
— Theresa Neuhoff Audia
-- CVCA tallied in the 72nd minute, sending the Royals past University, 1-0, in a Division II regional final at Nordonia. The Preppers, who forfeited 10 regular-season victories for using an ineligible player earlier this week, finished the season 5-16. Continued...

CALGARY, Alberta - The Vancouver Canucks arrived at the Scotiabank Saddledome with little time to spare.
After Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Calgary Flames, the Canucks left with nothing to show for a day they won't soon forget.
The Canucks' late-night charter on Saturday had been postponed due to ice issues in Calgary, and they were once again stuck on the tarmac Sunday, waiting for clearance to depart for their snow-covered destination.
They finally landed in Calgary at 3:25 p.m. MT and made a bee-line to the rink, arriving less than two hours before the puck dropped in the latest installment of the Northwest Division rivalry.
They looked tired, too, as the Flames controlled the play for large chunks of the third period, getting the game-winner from captain Jarome Iginla.
Flames starting goaltender Danny Taylor has a good scouting report on the Canucks, since he spent most of the past two seasons with Calgary's AHL affiliate in Abbotsford, which is about an hour drive from Rogers Arena.
Now, the 26-year-old can tell his buddies he earned his first NHL win against the Canucks, too.
The Canucks opened the scoring on a breakaway goal by former Flames winger Chris Higgins, who accepted a lead pass from Jannik Hansen and zipped a wrister past Taylor on Vancouver's second shot of the night.
Flames center Michael Cammalleri tied it up at the 15:44 mark of the first period, somehow finding a hole in Roberto Luongo's glove on a goal that will undoubtedly be a part of the weekly blooper reel.
Luongo redeemed himself with a brilliant pad save on Flames rookie Sven Baertschi early in the second period, then the Canucks stormed to the other end of the ice and Hansen whacked a rebound out of mid-air to restore the lead.

Gov. Heineman Says Nebraskans Need to Promote Their Communities
Gov. Dave Heineman told representatives from Brownville and other area communities Friday afternoon, Sept. 7, that they, as well as other Nebraskans, need to work on promote their communities.
"There is so much good going on in Nebraska. Where we have good leadership, those communities are on the move," the governor said at the Brownville Lyceum.
Members of the Brownville Community Foundation and Lee Sapp, the foundation's ambassador, were hosts for the reception. The reception celebrated the Brownville Community Foundation raising more than $10,000, enabling it to reach its goal of becoming a fully-funded endowed foundation. The foundation has been involved in preserving the village's historical aspects. The reception drew a large turnout from Brownville and area communities.
Heineman was born in Falls City and lived in several Nebraska cities while growing up.
After the reception, Heineman went on a windshield tour of Brownville historic buildings and attractions.
Sapp, who was born in the Auburn area, said "it's an honor to be here. Thank you for letting me help you. God bless all of you," he said. Sapp also introduced Heineman.
"I'm honored and pleased to be here. A lot of governors don't know where Brownville is. You should be proud of your community. Lee's a great ambassador for Brownville and for Nebraska," the governor said.
Heineman said Nebraskans work hard and understand about giving back to their communities. He said he was proud of Nebraskans for giving back to their communities and making a difference.
"It's heartwarming to go into communities and see what is going on. As we continue to promote our state and our communities, it's really up to local leadership to do whatever you want for your community. I see it all across Nebraska," Heineman said.
Nebraskans tend to help each other in times of need, the governor said. He cited the recent efforts of volunteer firefighters who have fought fires in north central Nebraska and the northern Panhandle recently.
"The volunteer firefighters know how to take care of themselves. They've done an incredible job. Many volunteer fire departments responded before calling in help. The local guys put in 18 hour days for three to four days when they needed help," Heineman said.
Food, water and supplies came in from communities all across Nebraska and throughout the United States. Nebraskans have responded in the same way when needed in other states, the governor said.
He also talked about why Nebraskans have weathered the tough economic times of recent years better than residents of other states.
Nebraskans are much more optimistic, Heineman said.
Nebraskans are hard workers who are willing to work long hours and want to do good things for the state. Nebraska has the second lowest unemployment rate in the United States, 4 percent vs. 8 percent nationally. Nebraskans, including state and local governments and families, have practiced fiscal responsibility, Heineman said.
"We have a lot more common sense in Nebraska. We don't spend money we don't have. We make those tough decisions," the governor said.
In two of the last three years, Heineman said Nebraska's population growth has exceeded the national average.
"We're a small state. We have no oceans, no mountains and no year-round warm climate. If we can (keep the population growth up) for a decade, our sons and daughters will stay here," he said.
The governor said he has followed the Husker volleyball team, who are ranked No. 1 nationally. The team recently honored former player Jordan Larson. Larson, a Hooper native, played on the silver-medal U.S. volleyball team at the London Olympics.
"They're doing a great job. We are proud of them. These are the kinds of kids we're producing,"
Agriculture is still the foundation of Nebraska and a lot of great things will happen in that area, Heineman said.
"Agriculture has been the No. 1 industry for a long time, will continue to be No. 1 and it will remain strong. It will head in a positive direction, not just individual farms and ranches, but areas such as alternative energy, ethanol and food processing, which occurs in many communities," the governor said.
The past two years, many Nebraska farmers dealt with flooding in 2011 and drought in 2012.
"I'm proud of our farmers and ranchers. They know how to adapt and adjust. Hopefully they'll survive," he said.
"Nebraska has safe communities, good schools, good jobs, affordable housing and unmatched quality of life," Heineman concluded.

Safe Schools Training to Come From Police
A police-led committee of the area's long-standing Safe Schools Partnership will offer training to St. Louis area school teams, including the Kirkwood School District.
On the heels of more shooting tragedies across the United States are conversations about how to better prepare school staffs and teachers for active shooter situations and intruders, in general. Perhaps not all school teams are ready to arm their staffs with weapons for protection on school premises, however a St. Louis metropolitan group of police are getting requests for other types of training. Fenton Police Precinct Commander Capt. Jeff Bader co-chairs a training committee of the Safe Schools Partnership of St. Louis County, which is a group launched during the 1998-1999 school year to facilitate collaboration between the county police department, area police departments, school districts, and other concerned agencies, with the sole …

Ocho Cinco Goes for the Face Tattoo
Posted by Kidzworld on 18th June 2009
Ocho Cinco adds a face tattoo to an already ugly mugg
A new face tattoo for Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson of the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals makes me think he's gone straight over the edge. I mean really? A tattoo on your face? How's that workin' out for former heavyweight champ Mike "Bite My Ear" Tyson? Not so good if you ask me (despite his recent cameo in the movie "The Hangover"). The tattoos of two crosses were announced in grand fashion through Ocho Cinco's Twitter account. Not sure if the new ink under his eye is going to help the Bengals get back to the NFL playoffs any time soon, that's for sure. And really, they look kinda dumb don't you think? He's ugly enough as it is! Think you know everything about Ocho Cinco? check out this cool NFL sports quiz for kids.

At the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, scientists are using massive computer simulations to create 3-D movies that reveal the mysteries of the universe in ways that almost let you reach out and grasp entire galaxies... and from any angle.
With advances such as a working transistor made from a single atom, scientists and technologists are learning to measure and manipulate matter to create fundamentally different electronic devices. Three experts discuss how nanotechnology is likely to affect computing, and whether we have the research infrastructure necessary to commercialize today's latest nanoelectronic findings.
A discussion with KIPAC astrophysicist Louis Strigari, lead author of a research paper that greatly increased the estimated number of nomad planets, renewing speculation about life beyond Earth.
Planets simply adrift in space may not only be common in the cosmos; in the Milky Way Galaxy alone, their number may be in the quadrillions. Three experts discussed what this might mean, whether a nomad planet could drift close to our solar system, and how it is possible for a nomad planet to sustain life.
