See also:
The flag and coat of arms of Gorišnica are prescribed by Decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Gorišnica, adopted on 30 May 1996, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, 39/1996, 26 July 1996, with effect on the same day.
As shown by Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05], the flag has proportions 1:2, and is yellow with the municipal coat of arms in the middle. The size of the coat of arms is

HBOT - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is medicine's most efficient way of transporting oxygen throughout the body. HBOT not only delivers oxygen through hemoglobin, but due to the increased pressure, the oxygen dissolves in the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord, lymph and other body fluids. This results in increased delivery of oxygen to the tissues, and the additional oxygen is important in supplying the much needed oxygen to areas with limited blood flow.
Hyperbaric oxygen has a multitude of other benefits that include: curbing infection through its boosting the immune system, flooding harmful anaerobic organisms with "unfriendly†oxygen, promoting the growth of new capillaries and blood vessels, especially in areas with poor circulation, and boosting collagen formation for faster wound healing. Stem cells are mobilized and rejuvenated. A full course of HBOT may increase stem cells by 800%.
You will have the benefit of a large chamber that can fit up to two people. A typical session lasts 60-90 minutes. You will be breathing 96% - 97% oxygen at 10 liters per minute versus 6 liters at normal atmospheric pressure. The increased flow rate is to overcome the resistance to oxygen flow secondary to the 1.3 atmospheric pressure within the chamber. As the pressure is gradually increased you may notice increased pressure in your ears, similar to that of a flight landing. This is usually the only discomfort. If you are severely claustrophobic, you may wish for someone to drive you to the facility, as the administration of valium will ease your anxiety. However, this is very unusual as the chamber is large enough to accept at least two people. You will be in constant touch and communication with at least one technician on the outside. You may wish to listen to music during the management, and you are encouraged to move around within the chamber during the procedure. The increase and decrease in pressure is carefully monitored and controlled by the staff. In a small percentage of cases ear pressure correction is delayed. If this happens, we stop the increase in pressure with an escape valve until you are ready for another increase.Back to Top

Working into the night on the legislative session's 60th and final day, the House and Senate debated the $69.7 billion budget — the lone bill by law the Legislature must pass each year.
The rhetoric flew in both chambers, with the partisan lines clearly marked. A final vote isn't expected until after 10 p.m.
Ruling Republicans praised the spending plan for closing a $3.8 billion shortfall, including no-new-taxes, and managing to avoid deep cuts to programs serving critically ill, elderly and disabled Floridians.
"Contained within this budget is the seed for a money tree," said Rep. Lake Ray, R-Jacksonville, touting the blueprint's economic development potential.
Democrats, though, ridiculed the plan for cutting $1.3 billion from schools, reducing dollars for environmental programs, and imposing 3 percent pay cuts on 655,000 government employees who will have to contribute to the Florida Retirement System for the first time since 1974.
Rep. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, has stung House Republican leaders several times this session by accusing them of "sticking it" to various segments of Floridians.
He used the phrase to criticize Republicans for enacting new pay standards for teachers, and changes Clemens and other critics said were aimed at reducing womens' access to abortion.
"It's a great day in the state of Florida," Clemens told the House on Friday afternoon, "because this is the last day I can ask 'who are we sticking it to today?' Unfortunately, the answer is Floridians."

Rolling along on this section of I-94 heading east is like riding a wild bronco – lots of bucking. You better be seat belted in or you're going to go flying. Between the frost heaves that remain after the severe winters, and the sun boils that make the highway about as smooth as an ocean with huge waves, it can be a pretty wild ride. Poor little Lucy has taken up residence in her cat bed that has a roof over it, so she's pretty secure. Nala, on the other hand, has to suffer with the up and down motion and has a terrible time to find a place where she feels secure. She remains calm throughout and travels well. Actually better than I did yesterday.
Montana is one freaking big state – it goes on forever and ever and ever. They call it Big Sky Country, and yes, it's beautiful, but when all you want to do is go home, you can only handle so much big blue sky. Especially at 95 degrees when the in-dash a/c doesn't work. By the time we reached Billings last night I was literally FRIED in more ways than one. Then to top it off, we took a wrong turn off the exit ramp, got all turned around and ended up in the industrial park instead of where we wanted to go. I was trying hard to figure things out on the GPS and Nala was insisting on standing between me and the dash, where all my power cords and computer cables are, pulling everything down off the dash so I lost all my connections. Meanwhile, Ole was yelling at me to tell him where to turn – I just about told him where to turn all right – and it wasn't in Billings!!
We finally reached our Walmart campground and all sighed a deep sigh of relief, even Nala and Lucy. No more than had we pulled in lengthwise along one of the outside edges of the parking lot, allowing enough space to drive out in the morning, than some dumb sh-t pulled in right in front of us – so close to our front end you had to hold your breath in order to walk between the vehicles. That meant that if someone pulled in behind us there would be no way to jockey our way out in the a.m., and we wanted to be on the road at sun-up.
"Well," said Ole, with a huff, "We'll fix him good," as he poked the button to start the generator so we could run our roof a/c and cool everybody down. By this time I was in tears, from frustration and being overheated for so terribly long, and being very tired due to lack of sleep over the last several nights. Enough, already. I just want to go home and see my little Emily and cuddle her and snuggle her and get big sloppy, wet kisses from her. I'm ready to go home to my nice air conditioned house and do all my dirty laundry that has accumulated from the last three weeks. (Sheesh – I must be really sick.)
So – as we literally roll along over the waves of the interstate, we're almost at the North Dakota/Montana line, listening to Jack Friday solve all kinds of crimes on the oldies radio station. Ole is fighting a strong cross wind, Nala is trying not to throw up from "riding the waves" and I'm trying to stay a bit cooler than yesterday. ETA, hopefully, barring any more "incidents" is this evening.

Marion County High School Lady Knight Makayla Epps broke off her commitment with the University of Louisville recently.
"At the time of my commitment I was only 15 years old," Epps said. "Now, a couple of years later I realized that I wanted to make 100 percent sure since I will be spending four or five years there."
Epps noted that the Lady Cardinals are still where she may end up playing her college ball, but she has now reopened her options. She also noted that another school has made an offer to her, but she has not made any decisions.
With school starting in Marion County in just a few days, that means only one thing - the start of high school sports. The team that will play the first organized event of the new school year is the Lady Knights volleyball team.
The team actually began their season when they competed in the Bluegrass State Games this past weekend.
The Marion County 11-12 year old all-star team headed to Prestonsburg on Saturday to play their first game of the 2012 Kentucky State Little League Tournament. In their first game of pool play, Marion County easily defeated Anderson County 10-0 in five innings. Marion County will continue pool play tomorrow evening when they take on Fleming- Neon at 7:00 P.M. (Read more)
Since 1987, Jerry Reynolds has announced boys basketball games at Marion County High School. During the past 26 seasons, Reynolds has seen a lot of basketball and two teams he remembers the most during his tenure.
"The 1992 and 1993 teams stand out in my mind because they went to state," he said. "In 1992, we went to the state for the first time in school history, and in 1993, we won the state championship. It just doesn't get any better than that."
Marion County High School track standout Brooks Divine participated in the USA Track and Field region five competition in Cedarville, Ohio recently.
Divine placed first in the decathlon events and fourth overall in pole vault.
Beginning with the 1983 football season, Charles Lancaster Sr. began a career that will now enter its 30th season beginning in August of this year. Lancaster started calling football games at Marion County High School with that unique deep voice that we have all become accustomed to throughout the years.
"I try to keep an even keel in my tone, no matter what the situation is on the field," he said.
For all that have ever attended a football game that Lancaster has called, he seems to have perfected that art.
The Marion County High School Knights tennis team held its annual awards banquet on Tuesday, June 12. Several players earned awards for their performance during this past season.
Noah Swencki received the Playmaker Award, while Jacob Burdette earned the Browning Award. Jonah Gillespie took home the Pop-Star Award, and Alex Spalding received the Lester Award.
Michael Spalding was given the Most Tolerant Award, while Jesus Berlanga earned the Most Reliable Award.
Since the baseball team started using a public address system in 2000, Ham Mattingly has been the only announcer the team and fans have heard. Mattingly became affiliated with the baseball team when current Head Coach Chad Spalding assumed his coaching duties in 1997. Mattingly's son, Joseph, along with a couple of his friends, Kerry Gorley and Alan Tungate, joined the team as seventh graders that year and that is what got Mattingly starting to attend home games. "I started going to home games that year, even though my son never entered a game that year," he said.
Blair Gorley signs a swimming scholarship with St. Catharine as (seated) MCHS golf coach Chad Spalding and Blair's mother, Deborah Thompson, look on. Standing are MCHS athletic director Robby Peterson, SCC golf coach Joan Rizer, and SCC swimming coach Mike Carey.
The Marion County High School baseball team held their postseason annual awards banquet on June 5.
Several members of the team were recognized for their performances on the field during the season.
Dylan Spalding was awarded the most valuable player along with the most valuable pitcher.
The freshman award went to Jeremy Morris while the junior varsity award went to Robbie Spalding.

Some nights I want to see people I know, others I want to be more incognito. One of the advantages of Cincinnati is it can be as big as you want. Everyone knows the places they need to go -- or avoid -- to see familiar faces.
Stranger in the City
Though the city we live in is vast, we have all said at times, "Cincinnati is a small town." You keep encountering the same circles that seem intertwined and, well, it's unusual to meet people who don't know anyone you know. Last Friday the goal was to feel like a stranger in the city I've lived and worked in for the last 20 years.
I started with Music Hall for a CSO performance. Paavo certainly didn't recognize me in the second row of Classical Conversations prior to the concert, and the Music Hall audience didn't harbor any familiar faces.
Next, I went to Jeff Ruby's. The bar was packed as Blast and the CSO had just let out, along with the CAC opening. Two men there swore they knew me, but I can assure you they did not. My name isn't Lisa, though the gentleman was charming with his, "Excuse me, are you Lisa?" It was sweet and non-abrasive.
The second was more abrasive. "I've met you," he said. I politely declined and denied the frantic look in his eyes. He persisted, "Yes, we have met. You know me, too. You're supposed to say, 'Thank you.' "
Well, I'd had enough, even though he offered to let me join his group for dinner. My girlfriend and I opted for a dozen oysters up front with two delightful strangers.
Fortified with the aphrodisiac and the martini olives, I chose one last spot to finish my incognito night -- Spy Club, which was just getting started as Friday became Saturday. The lighting was perfect for traveling below the radar.
Refusing to be intimidated by the youth on the dance floor, we danced and danced and danced. Slowly the men appeared, surrounding us with their rhythms. It was intoxicating and delightful. The fusion music resounded in my ears, and then the men started to introduce themselves.
This was a safe haven. No one knew me here, though the seven-foot German transplant offered to get acquainted.
His opener: "You are not from Cincinnati." Well, let's just say we'll pretend I'm not for tonight.
Men at Work
My boyfriend and I celebrated our one-year anniversary last Thursday by returning to the location of our first date, J. Alexander's. On the first date I was so focused on him that I hadn't noticed the cute waiters. This time around, it was immediately obvious that I had overlooked something.
Looking at other men can cause some problems for couples, but I think it's healthy. If you love someone and are secure in your relationship, it actually can be quite fun. It's part of having an active fantasy life.
My boyfriend and I both like to look. We always get in the checkout line run by the cute guy at the IGA in Clifton. And if you don't know who I'm talking about, go see for yourself. Then there's the tall guy with the great Rob Thomas-esque combed-down hair and the earrings who works at the Thai Café. He's another one of our all-time favorites. Thai me up, Thai me down, baby!
One reason we always seem to be scoping guys is that there are so many of them up in Clifton. In the warm weather, there's almost always a pick-up game of something going on in the grassy knoll at Clifton Avenue and MLK. The fraternity house on Jefferson Avenue with the sand volleyball court in the front yard is also a good bet. Add in the occasional jogger, and the question becomes how can we not take advantage of the sights?
As we celebrate our anniversary, it appears that winter is finally setting in, and the one thing I don't like about cold weather is the reduction in exposed male skin around the neighborhood. I guess it's a reminder that all good things must come to an end but the best things in life are still free.
Background Check
One week ago, I swore off caring about guys.
Later that night, I walked without hope into the very crowded Main City Bar and learned that a sweet-faced boy with a mouth full of braces thought I was hot.
On our first date we had coffee at Sitwell's, on our second watched movies, third played pool and fourth slept together. We're both poor, so the dating activity spectrum is limited.
By the middle of the week, I found myself driving downtown to his apartment to pick him up at 3 a.m. as both of us are insomniacs without proper jobs. I did this several times, as a matter of fact, and began wondering if I was now, unofficially, his chauffeur.
When his cell phone minutes ran low, he couldn't afford to get more. Reaching him became difficult. He called from Main City one night with a few minutes left and wanted me to come down. As much as I commiserated, I had a job interview the next day and wasn't about to let any situation interfere.
After that, I didn't hear from my metal-mouthed lover and was afraid I'd lost him. The city could swallow him up and spit him out into the arms of another girl, much cuter and less needy than yours truly.
Exactly one week after hooking up with him, my roommate and I headed back to Main City Bar. I knew he'd be there. On the way, we ran into Terry and Micah. Terry had been stood up twice in one week and was going home, so we offered them a ride
"Tell her to forget about him," my roommate offered.
"It was two different guys," Micah replied.
"Oh," we hummed in unison.
We got to Main City and my search for M.I.A. metal-mouthed lover began. As soon as I saw him emerging from the patio, he ducked into the ladies room. My fears that he was avoiding me coupled with those of Terry's stand-ups led me to promptly ditch the place.
I walked to BarrelHouse, where the Fairmout Girls were playing, hoping I'd see some friends. By the time I arrived, their set was over and the only faces I saw were unrecognizable yuppie ones.
Five dollars poorer, I walked back to Main City. My roommate was seated at the bar, certain she had been sexually assaulted by a man ordering a drink who had grazed her breast. Following her feminist protestations, she told me metal-mouth lover had asked if he'd scared me off.
Presently, he arrived where I was sitting. I'd calmed down and let some nice guy buy me a drink, so I was pleasantly sloshed.
"I thought you were going to follow me into the bathroom," he said, "I was just kidding around."
Great, now he thinks I'm psycho-girl for bolting on his playful antics. Who ducks into the ladies room for a fun-loving romp anyway?
Maybe instead of swearing off men, I should be swearing off sex. Or at least give it a two-week waiting period for background checks.

Interdisciplinary Studies is an approach to answering questions, solving problems and addressing contemporary social issues from perspectives offered by multiple disciplines. By placing complex issues and questions into broad contexts, interdisciplinary students develop new ways of thinking that often challenge and change the status quo. For example, addressing the intersection of gender and power raises questions of justice, equality and the social environment. This is one way interdisciplinary studies links academic pursuits to community engagement. By addressing such civic issues, the School of Liberal Studies' interdisciplinary programs foster classroom experiences that value questioning, respect and individual responsibility.
Interdisciplinary students study across multiple disciplines and gain the skills and academic knowledge to make them strong candidates for today's continually changing job market. Employers seek employees who communicate well, adapt easily to change, and apply critical and analytical thinking skills to solve complex problems. They also seek candidates with good interpersonal skills, intercultural understanding and a global outlook. Interdisciplinary Studies students are well prepared to thrive in the workplace and to succeed in a wide-range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary graduate programs.

June 2004 Hot Rod Cars Readers' RidesWritten by on June 1, 2004
'66 Pontiac LeMans
Tim Kee
Dana Point, CA
Goats may get all the hype, but these days, a LeMans is cheaper and virtually as good by the time you give it a hot-rodding rubdown. Besides, they look the same to the average schmoe. Tim's sports a rebuilt 326 with ported heads, a Comp cam, ACCEL ignition, and an Edelbrock 600-cfm carb and intake manifold. It was originally owned by his grandmother and has been in the family since 1966. Tim completed the restoration for under $13,000.
'68 Mustang GT
Keith Vogel
Queensbury, NY
Keith says his wife wants to cancel his subscription to HOT ROD because he keeps getting expensive ideas from us. All we can say is we're honored to have in some way inspired this creation. The 'Stang packs a 390ci mill topped with Edelbrock heads and intake manifold, a four-speed trans, and a 3.50:1-geared 9-inch rear. Ford Motorsport springs drop it down 2 inches and dual Flowmaster pipes supply the burble.
'74 Plymouth 'Cuda
Ron Toppins
Santa Fe, TX
Even when they're dressed in fake AAR stripes, you gotta love them Cudas, and the '74 is the least common of all model years. The 340 beneath the hood features Edelbrock heads and intake, a Holley 770-cfm carb, Hooker headers, Crane rockers, a mild cam, and an MSD ignition box. It's mated to a four-speed shifted by one of those nifty Pistol Grip handles. Except for the machine work, Ron put the entire car together at home.
'63 Chevy Impala
Paul and Dee Daniels
Allen, TX
We're glad the Daniels and their sweet Imp will join us for Power Tour this year. Believe it or not, it's still running on the original 327 motor with just 70,000 miles on the clock. A TH350, a beefed-up cooling system, and 3.08:1 gears come in handy on those long cruises, and a lowered stance over Cragar SS wheels lend an aggressive look. For a bit more scoot, a new heads-and-cam package is on the way.
'01 Plymouth Prowler
Joe Kerner
Great Mills, MD
Here are Joe's top four reasons why his car should be selected for Readers' Rides. 1) It's the very rare Black Tie Edition, one of only 163 built. 2) He drives it every day, even in the snow. 3) With a Borla cat-back exhaust and K&N cold-air kit, it's somewhat quick. 4) It's not a Camaro or a Mustang. That works for us. He says, "The Prowler gets under your skin to the point that you never want to drive anything else. I don't even care that it has no trunk space or practicality."
'73 Ford Gran Torino
David Fischer
Madison, OH
Right after our March '04 issue hit the stands with the Starsky & Hutch car on the cover, a flurry of mid-'70s Gran Torino owners sent us pics of their two-ton sleds. David's street/strip machine packs a 460 big-block, a solid-lifter cam, an Offy intake, Hooker headers, and a Holley carb. Twisting a TCI coverter, 9-inch rearend, and Goodyear slicks, the mill delivers 12.68-at-107-mph timeslips.

I do my best to avoid being next to any cars while crossing intersections. For some reason, in a split sec, I decided to power past this car. They decided to turn, with no signal and without looking. No contact, but it was close.

A Beaufort County man was arrested Tuesday for indecent liberties with a minor a month after the reported incident.

Geisinger CMC high bidder for Audubon
On the site where students attended school for a century, patients could soon see doctors.
With a bid of $750,000, Geisinger Community Medical Center agreed to purchase John Audubon Elementary School - its neighbor across the 1800 block of Mulberry Street - at the Scranton School District's auction Thursday. Geisinger will most likely demolish the building, though it has no specific plans, said Robert Davies, the health system's chief support services officer.
After moving students out in 2010 because of mold, the district permanently shuttered the school earlier this year because it was too expensive to reopen.
GCMC may first demolish the school and use the property as a staging area for the hospital's upcoming expansion project.
Thursday's auction included two other bidders, developers Louis Costanzo and Tom Senofonte, who dropped out before the appraised value was met. The original high bid of Geisinger was $350,000, but was increased gradually to $750,000 so the property's appraised value was met. Without meeting the appraised value of $730,000, the property would not have been sold at the auction. Bidders were not told the appraised value until the conclusion of the auction.
The sale will be used as a revenue source for the 2013 budget, district solicitor John Minora said. Closing is expected in 90 days.
Contact the writer: firstname.lastname@example.com, @hofiushallTT on TwitterHistory of the school
-â1910: Built for $47,402, named after ornithologist John J. Audubon (right).
-â1927: Growth in the Hill Section population required an addition to the school for $133,000.

Wärtsilä Receives Three Contracts For Brazil Power Plants
Wärtsilä has received three operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts for power plants in Brazil.
Borborema Energética S.A. has contracted Wärtsilä to operate, maintain and supply all labor and spare parts for its Campina Grande power plant in Paraiba, Brazil. The plant runs on heavy fuel oil and generates 164 MW of electrical output from 20 Wärtsilä 20V32 engines for the national grid.
A second O&M contract was provided by Maracanaú Geradora de Energia for its power plant located in Ceará, Brazil. The plant's 168 MW output is generated from eight Wärtsilä 20V46F engines running on heavy fuel oil, and also feeds the national grid. Both contracts are for five years with an option to extend for a further 5 years.
A third O&M agreement was signed with Linhares Geração S.A. for running and maintaining its 204 MW gas power plant. This power plant, located in Linhares, Espirito Santo, southwest of Brazil, comprises 24 Wärtsilä 20V34SG gas engines, with the power being used as standby for Brazil's hydro generation.

Deal or thrill: Black Friday shoppers turn out in masses
Nov 23, 2012 (The Destin Log - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Whether it's for the deal or just the thrill, shoppers turned out in droves for Black Friday -- some earlier than others.
Rob Fagan, along with his wife Paige and mom and dad, Linda and Robert Fagan, all of Crestview, lined up in front of Best Buy in Destin at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday -- almost 38 hours before the doors were to open at midnight Thursday.
"I'm here for the 55 inch high def 3D TV," Rob said. "It's a 1,000 dollars off." This wasn't Fagan's first time to stand in line for Black Friday.
"I've done it seven years in a row, but this is my first time to be first in line," he said.
Besides the TV he was looking to take home a 27-inch computer monitor and maybe a tablet or laptop.
The Fagan family was in line almost 12 hours before they were joined by anyone else. And at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, there were only six people in line. But by 10 p.m. the line was wrapped all the way down the front of Pet Smart, Office Depot and Thomasville Furniture and down the side.
"We came to keep each other company," Rob's mom said.
His dad, Robert, said they had done the Black Friday standing in line thing a couple of times, "but hope this is the last." Although they were in line when most folks were sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with their families, they didn't miss out on the meal.
"We had Thanksgiving dinner brought in from Niceville ... we just tailgated," Rob said.
When it's all said and done, however, Rob said, "I'm looking forward to watching football and the University of Miami win." The Gainer girls of Crestview got to Best Buy about 4 p.m. Thursday and were looking to snag a laptop and TV.
"This is our first time," Rachel Gainer said. "We're espresso coffee-ed up and ready to go.
Joining Rachel, Brittany and Angela Gainer was their friend, Louis Hernandez.
"I figured I might as well try it out one time," Louis said. "It may be the first and last time." As for the Houston family of Destin, who were way back in the line, they were not losing heart.
"I've done this the last five or six years," said Melissa Houston, who was joined by daughters Delancey and Rylee and husband Lance.
"It just kind of gets you in the spirit," of the holidays, Melissa said. "It gets you ready," Delancey chimmed in.
"It's like going to a ball game kind of fun," Lance said.
For Daniel Roman and Nathan Cook of Destin it was their first time to venture out on Black Friday eve.
"This is our first camp out," Roman said.
Cook was looking to get a TV, laptop or I-pad.
"I want to have a huge TV for football and basketball." And by 11:15 p.m. he had his voucher for a 65-inch TV.
Haesol Jung drove all the way from Troy, Ala., for a chance at a television.
"This is my second time to do this," Jung said. "It's a lot of fun and you get a chance to buy something for a really good price." Tracy Dibenedetto of Destin says she spends weeks planning out her shopping spree for Black Friday.
"I even have a back-up plan for things that don't work out," she said.
"I got here at 9 p.m., which seems like it was about five hours too late." Nevertheless, she was in it for the 50-inch Toshiba television.
Across the street at Bass Pro Shops, where the doors were not to open until 5 a.m. on Friday, Ken Mitchell of Ponce de Leon claimed his spot in line at 7:30 Thursday evening.
"I'm always afraid they'll run out of stuff," Mitchell said, bundled up his lawn chair.
He was looking to buy a shotgun and maybe some clothes.
"I've always avoided this ... I used to be smarter than this," Mitchell said.
Joining him in line was Trevor Herman of Pennsylvania who was here visiting family.
"I'm here for the smoker," he said, noting it was about half price.
"I don't get the thrill ... I'm here for the deal," Herman said.
Midnight Madness and more at Outlets The Silver Sands Premium Outlets parking lot was three-quarters of the way full by 9 p.m. Thanksgiving. Customers were waiting outside a number of stores that opened prior to Midnight Madness. Coach, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nike, Saks Off Fifth, and Brooks Brothers opened at 9 or shortly thereafter.
By midnight, the stores and parking lots were jammed, and many customers had to park across Highway 98 and cross the busy road to get to the sales.
"We had to park at Whataburger and walk over," said Lesley Gustafson, who braved the crowds for the sake of the family members on her Christmas list.
Stores stayed busy through 2 a.m., when traffic died off and the parking lot cleared out enough for clerks to take a breather before a bump in customers at 8:30 a.m.

This review is from: SONICWALL 01-SSC-7052 NSA 2400 High Availability (HA) Unit (Hardware only)
Pros: For the SMB - You cannot go wrong with this product. It provides everything you need for network management, sergragation, and security. Setup wizards are great if you are a nub, but for an experianced Sonic OS user there isnt much you cannot accomplish. VLAN, SSL VPN, WAN Failover - loadbalancing, Stateful packet inspection. You get what you would want from a CISCO with out the cumbersome need for CLI or Price! Firmware updates are easy and regular with constant feature improvements. Sonciwalls are the way to go for the non eliteist crowd who needs quality and performance without the bloated idioligy of some OEMS or over simplistic feature set of others.
Cons: As with everything there is another side, you have to keep your licensing up, but in my exp, its worth the cost.

Good firewall for reasonable price
This review is from: SONICWALL 01-SSC-7052 NSA 2400 High Availability (HA) Unit (Hardware only)
Pros: powerfull equipment with plenty features.
Cons: Web management is too nice/fancy. Not sure if setup can be scripted. I am not used to work with this level of equipment but they require service contract for firmware upgrade after the initial period. Setup should be easier for basic tcp traffic control.
Other Thoughts: For the price for this equipment, I should not complain. I probably can get more out of than I do now. Technical support is not very helpful. So you have to know waht you are doing mostly.

When you watch Auburn University football games online, you'll be catching some of the strongest football action found in the SEC (Southeastern Conference) The Auburn Tigers have a long, storied football tradition beginning in 1892. It was then that a Latin language and history professor, George Petrie, put together the very first university football team while also acting as coach. In fact, Auburn played its inaugural game with the University of Georgia. Piedmont Park in Atlanta was the game site. Petrie served only a year taking the team to a 2-2 record. During the next eight years, Auburn would be guided by five different coaches.
The Tigers joined the Southeastern Conference in 1933. Today, Auburn has claimed six conference (SEC) championships. After SEC split into two divisions in 1992 (West and East), Auburn has earned three division championships playing in the West. Auburn won two conference championships, in 2004 and the other in 2010, both years in which the Tigers went undefeated. Although an SEC conference title winner with an undefeated record, the Tigers were denied the chance to competefor the national title by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 2005.
The Tigers play home games on the campus of Auburn University in the Jordan-Hare stadium. This playing facility is named after Ralph "Shug" Jordan, who is the all-time winning over football coach and after Cliff Hare, who was a member of the university's first football team. Prior to 1973, the Tigers played at Auburn Stadium from 1939 to 1949. A new stadium, the Cliff Hare Stadium, was home from 1949 to 1973. A new facility with a seating capacity of 87,451 was opening 73 and christened the Jordan-Hare Stadium and is today considered one of the top 10 largest on-campus stadiums in the NCAA (National College Athletic Association).
Auburn holds the 12th ranking as the most winning program in college football history compiling more than 700 victories.

Make the perfect cup of tea with Fortnum's tea specialist, Margot Cooper.
Read More at Anglotopia
Lovely video. And, of course, the woman was using the proper size pot for the amount of loose tea she was using. However, directions like this – the "per person" method of measuring – are easily misunderstood, resulting in people putting two teaspoons of tea in a 32-ounce pot! I much prefer directions given as I've done here – http://delightfulrepast.blogspot.com/2013/02/product-review-whittard-of-chelsea-tea.html – under How to Make A Proper Cup of Tea. One must know the capacity of the teapot or how many ounces of water are being used. I've seen too many people put in one teaspoon per person for two people and then filling their 32-ounce teapot to the brim, resulting in a very weak brew.

First-time poster in the Utility Cycling Forum.
Does anyone have any experience or familiarity with the Worksman Low Gravity bike, and how it might perform as a light/medium duty cargo hauler? How would it compare to long-tail formats like Xtracycle/Big Dummy/Ute/Mundo? With pannier baskets attached, in addition to the large front basket, it seems like it could carry a fair amount of stuff. Intended use would be grocery shopping, errands, etc.
Ive seen it mentioned in passing in other threads, but nothing too comprehensive.
What a great place to take advantage of others hard-earned knowledge and wisdom and learn things the easy way!

The Bozeman U-11 boys team was in Salt Lake City, Utah this weekend to play in a soccer tournament when they found out they would perform the traditional kids/player walk out with the United States team during the United States vs Cuba Gold Cup match.
Coach David Priestley said when the players found out they were "mesmorized and more than thrilled. They almost lost sight of the tournament in anticipation of doing the walkout. It's the biggest honor a youth player can have as they do it at all of the highest levels."
Priestley was contacted shortly after the team arrived after the Cup Event personnel heard off the small team coming to town. ""It turned out they were interested because we were a smaller market. We were from Montana and we had traveled there specifically to see the game and to play in the tournament so they thought it was a cool story."
The U-11 team went 0-1-3 at the tournament with a draw. Coach Priestley says they were looking to play bigger and stronger opponents so this was a good experience for the kids seeing those bigger market teams. I asked what he hopes his players walk away with and he says he hopes they look at countries like Costa Rica and Belize, smaller countries that have players reach the top level from their work ethic and play their hearts out.
"I would say the most lasting thing is an athlete from anywhere no matter how big or small the town is you can reach the highest level if you're willing to put in the work. A determined hard working athlete from anywhere in the world can reach the highest level."

Quick Hits: Meg Ryan Takes Part In The Adoption Craze
Congrats Meg.
Hey- I'm all for giving kids who need it a home, but why can't these people start looking, oh I don't know, say in West Virginia?!?!?! Why do they go to freaking Cambodia and Asia and Africa? I'm just saying… maybe Brad and Angelina could taken a trip to Compton instead of Costa Rica… no disrespect to Compton, of course.
I'm happy babies are finding loving homes, I just don't think this whole 3rd world glamorization of infants thing is cool…
Girly Girl do you know ho ignorant you sound. People don't understand a child starving in Ethiopia is not the same as one poor here. At least in Compton you have food stanps. Seriously. Imagine being inte middle of a desert with no food. Have you skin these thousands of kids who are skin and bones in places like Ethiopia? How can you compare them to a poor kid here? How can you? Do we have camps of starving people in this country? No! They have welfare. Come one. I know welfare is not great but it keeps you from dying of starvation which is what third world kids are going through. So adopting in those countries is more of an emergency. Get a grip peple!
Actually it's been estimated that some 30 million Americans live in POVERTY (I think the threshold is making under $12,000/year), and a great majority have no healthcare, probably no foodstamps due to bureaucracy, etc. So maybe you need to open your eyes "west virginia trash" and realize that in even the richest countries there are those literally dying of poverty- and I'm a republican!
I agree with you girly girl, although it may sound to some like you think the ethopians, etc. are undeserving to be adopted over American children by the way you stated it.
What I dont understand is how there can be so many babies in the US that are given up for adoption. Don't you have (free) birthcontrol for teenagers?
Well, if there was, I didn't know about it. It's illegal in most states to have sex before 17, so I don't know how a teenage girl could go get her own for free. I know that you can go with your parents and if they agreed then you can have it (and pay for it). But the girls who get pregnant at 13-15 years old obviously aren't thinking about their health in the first place anyways.
All I am saying Ev is Americans can be so whiny! We complain about how bad we have it. So what if some Americans live on under $12,000 a year. There are people in the world living on $2,000 a year!!! We are so spoiled and don't realize how good we have it. Yes, things are not perfect here but we are doing ok compared to the rest of the world. Try living in Ahghanistan for a year or Somalia. All I am saying is we need to shut up and stop complaining just cause we don't have the latest model freakin' SUV. We don't have entire villages dying of hunger in this country. And that is what some other countries have to face. We are so ungrateful in this country!!!! Get a grip!
"We don't have entire villages dying of hunger in this country" ? Are you kidding? And 'so what if people have to live under $12,000/year?'
It's called COST OF LIVING you moron. $2000 here and $2000 in Africa is entirely different! You obviously have never been to other countries to even know how much stuff costs. How can anyone afford decent housing and food for a family with 10-12,000 in this country?? Just because there are maybe people in worse conditions in the world, doesn't mean there isn't poverty here. Open your eyes. Go to a shelter, to the projects. They have nothing. There's nothing "ignorant" about wanting to adopt a disadvantaged child in the US. They need a family and love too.
Oh and you can be damn well sure they aren't worrying about not having the newest SUV. What an ignorant statement. I'm just so appalled that someone could be so blind to the glaring class differences in the United States.
Ev Sweetie, you sound like a – gasp – lefty Democrat! But you say you are Republican. Ha Ha. Maybe you need to switch parties. Stop whining. Americans have it good and they should just shut up already. We waste so much in this freakin' country. If you're so gung ho about the projects, Miss Republican, why don't you donate a percentage of your salary or move to Compton! Compton – the new Somalia, RIGHT! We are the world. We are the children, EV! Hey, can you gimme some bread? I am a starving American and need help. All countries of the world, listen up! America needs help. Forget starving kids in Mexico, Somalia, Afghanistan, South Africa, Brazil, Eastern Europe – forget about them. America needs help. We're starving! We're out of sirloin steak!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!
I never said that Americans should forget about others accross the world. In fact they give the most out of any country in the world. And, I have donated money to various charitable organizations, both for international and national purposes. And I hardly see how moving to Compton will prove that there isn't poverty in America?
And I hardly see how calling me a Democrat is supposed to be some awful insult. I don't agree with them usually, but I don't think they're destroying America or anything. I'm actually Libertarian, but would vote Republican. I'm not saying handouts should be given to where they aren't needed, I'm not really a fan of welfare, but to say that there isn't a crisis in our own country is irresponsible. Have you seen New Orleans lately? Why do you think many of them couldn't leave the city? Why do you think so many people died, were displaced, can't afford to come back, stayed in an overcrowded, nasty stadium for so long without help? Give me a break.
Personal attacks and weird suggestions suggest lack of substance to support your argument.

Good God !! You are such an ignorant you make me scream ! I am Romanian and I worked in "your country" for 500 $ per month, that is 6 000 a year and MY LIFE WAS MORE THAN "DECENT" with this money compared with how life in Romania is. When ppl like you whine about how hard it is to live with 12 000 $/year it`s just … I don`t even know how to call this without cursing. yes, poor children in US also need care and lovin but YOU CAN NOT compare them with an etiopian child, a cambodgian child, a chinese child. They are skin and bones, not "poor" – STARVING TO DEATH you moron ! In Romania there are children freasing to death ! They find them dead in the morning, in their houses ! Their parents can not afford paying for the heat do you even begin to imagine how it is to be so cold that you can not feel anything but PAIN ?! And still, I KNOW the sitiation in Cambodia is much worse than here. Jessus you people shoud be forced to live in China or Cambodia for 2 weeks and than you will return and bless your country. IGNORANTS!
I am sorry for my writting mistakes .. that post really made me angry.
Look guys, calm the frick down.
There is pain and poverty all over the world, and instead of bickering about which country is more destitute, maybe we should just put our energy into trying to make solutions. You can't compare a kid from Compton to a kid from Cambodia, they are in different situations. Kids from Cambodia are starving, poor and not likely to see their next birthday half the time. However, a kid in Compton (for example) may come from a broken, battered home, where yes there is an income, but it may be spent on drugs or alcohol. As they grow up, they may be involved in a life of possibly crime, seeing as this is the only way they feel they can get what they need…and likewise may not live to see their next birthday. ALL countries have horrible stories like these, and we as more privilaged people can stop arguing and put our money where our mouth is. Look for solutions. Adopt from Compton if you feel it is important…or from a 3rd or 5th world country if you feel that that choice is more important. Either way, you are helping. And if you can't adopt, look for a way to start the ball rolling on other solutions. Like free birth control (which comes a lot easier from separation of church and state) which I know in some countries that will take YEARS and may not ever happen… And even in Canada…a developed country, you still have to pay for it even if it is subsidized. Let's face it, people are going to have sex, and they will make babies. It happens. So let's look for a solution instead of arguing about the problem.
"Youasshole"- I'm sorry you are upset. My argument was not that Americans in general have it "worse" than 3rd world countries, it just angered me that the other poster seems to think there isn't a poverty situation in the united states at all- and had the nerve to say that they were worried about "the newest SUV". That angered me, rightfully so.
EV: Of course there is a poverty problem in this country. I recognize that. You Repulicans, Ev, have designed that system. I went to college – I know the economic structure of this country. But in your original post you said why don't stars adopt from west virginia or compton instead of 3rd world countries. I was responding to that very ignorant comment. Posters such as You ass Hole and Kelsey to a degree basically made the point I was making quite eloquently. Poverty here is not the same as poverty in freakin' Calcutta, India!!!!! Never will be! I would adopt a starving Indian child before I adopt a poor child here because I know in India – there is NOTHING in terms of a system to help that child. And, yes, I have traveled the world, That's why I can tell you seeing children in third world countries never stepping foot in a classroom because their parents can't afford it or walking miles for drinkable water is not the same as poverty here. One of my friends from a third world country told me she saw children drinking gutter water because they did not have water. Poverty in US is not the same as this and NEVER will be. So Meg, Angelina, Brad, Mia Farrow, etc – keep adopting overseas!!!!!!!!!!
"But in your original post you said why don't stars adopt from west virginia or compton instead of 3rd world countries."
If you were responding to that, maybe you should take note that it wasn't me who said that people should adopt from Compton and not cambodia. I never said that. I was responding to your apparent disbelief that poverty could exist in America. What is this, a contest to see who can be worse-off? What's wrong with an American adopting from America for the better of the country and the child if they choose? Nothing, and you shouldn't pass judgement on them either. And I'm pretty sure that I didn't design the system, as you put it. And as for your "eloquent" presentation, I'm pretty sure making broad exaggerations and using stereotypes and applying them to people who ARE in poverty isn't eloquent nor effective, nor is using 10 exclmation points, nor is making judgements about people who claim to belong to one political party or another. Part of the problem with politics is that when you align yourself with a party, people automattically think that you must agree with the most extreme views of that party, which is not true. It's not like I go up to democrats and say "hey, you're all socialists, don't have any ideas for economic growth in the country, mindless baby killers, etc." And so I expect the same respect.
Whatever Ev !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice comeback…er…not
Ev, I'm sending you on the express bus to Compton to hang with your peeps and adopt some kids from the inner city so you can feel GOOD about yourself. That way, you may be too busy to continue writing DUMB posts. Bye, My Socially Conscious Republican Sweetie. Bye Bye. Say hi to Dubya – maybe you can convince him to adopt one of those poor Compton kids that you Republicans love SOOO much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, you sound like a really caring person.
You've moved from focusing on the 3rd world to attacking me. And note that I never got an answer about New Orleans poverty- probably where it's the worst. You make it sound like it's wrong to take care of our own. They ran newspaper headlines in Europe exclaiming, "the shame of America" regarding New Orleans slums. Why, because everything's so great? I think not. In fact, since you admit that we are so wealthy a country, since we are supposed to represent freedom, progress, and a country without shame and poverty, why isn't anyone outraged that this is even an issue? I am. If you hate me, you'd really hate John Edwards- he's researching poverty, who it affects, and ways to fix it in America- the nerve!
And if someone tells me that Americans only care about themselves, don't start. I never implied that. I DO care- esp. about the situation in Darfur. http://www.savedarfur.com/
Peace :)
Hey Ev, You are probably not worthy of this information based on you rudeness but 'll I'll share this with you. I am biracial. One of my parents is Arian white and the other is Black American. I know both sides – black/white; poor/rich. I know one thing. Nothing pisses me off more than bratty Americans who are comfortable like the ones I grew up with who think they are so inflicted with hardship. They also, on some superficial level, think they are so connected to the poor in this country. They are so focused on America America America and they cannot see the rest of the world and their suffering. My dad, who is white comes from a rich family and my mom who is black struggled for everything she had. But they taught me that there is a world out there and I need to be ready to pay attention to that world. So, once again, let me reiterate – there are problems more grave than the ones Americans face – trust me. Don't talk to me about New Orleans because your ignorant Republican president ignored those people because they were black and poor. I know that. However, after the disaster, America has millions that it can send over to New Orleans to try to fix Dubya's gross mistake. What do the Pakistanis who a month later went through an earthquake have? More disaster and hunger. And more people died in that earthquake than did here. Does the media cover that and care? Noooooo! Only if Americans suffer do we care. That is the embarrassing truth so let's just accept it. Maybe if you switched to a better political party – you could think more clearly.
"Maybe if you switched to a better political party – you could think more clearly."
Probably one of the most ignorant things said in this entire argument. Like I said, people focus too much on blaming political parties and not on what the individual says they believe. I can be republican/libertarian and still not agree with the President, which many times I don't. Did you ever think of that?
And I'm not poor, if you're trying to imply that I want a handout. I'm pretty sure I never said that I was the one inflicted with hardship. And poverty existed in New Orleans way before Bush. The hurricanes brought the subject into focus. And I really don't see how being biracial makes you an expert on poverty?
And as far as the media- what about the genocide going on in Darfur for years? No one EVER hears about that. And I do remember the enormous coverage and aid given to tsunami victims. I don't think Americans are selfish people, quite the opposite. But media does dictate what the majority sees/hears about. I honestly don't know what the argument is about anymore, I merely thought that saying that adopting poor American children was ignorant, was well, too harsh and uncalled for.
Anyways, I wish you wouldn't get so angry and make hurtful personal attacks, it seems we do agree on some things. Better to care about poverty than not at all, eh?
I brought up being biracial and from parents of different socio-economic status because I am a product of two extreme experiences so I am not ignorant to either side. But in the end, I agree, at least we both have something in common – a concern for poverty – wherever it is in the world. So, cool. A truce is called. Wish you the best.
There is a big difference btwn. poverty in Africa and America. Lest say Kenya for example, its one of the biggest country that is corrupted from head to toe.
Right now there is droguth everywere in North Kenya, the goverment dont give a flyng **** about them so they take the money and they buy cool cars for them and the all family and people are dyng, just because some dum politician had to buy a very expensive cars.
I was reading the news papper the other day, many people are complaining about this, even people are donating food but some idots decided to steel it.
In Africa it will always be like this it will never change, babies dyng of aids, hunger…at least in America they have money for this. Im shoer American Orphanges have everything here they dont have milk for the oprhan babie.
In Kenya there are so many people who live on the street and the gov. is doing nothing, everyday i see them sleeping on the pavement and i cry.
Im white and i have adopted a Kenyan baby. My english is not that good, but i hope i made a point.
Well, I want to post in a different direction. Has it ever occured to anyone here that maybe a person adopts to expand his/her family and not just as a social duty??? Sure, it's nice to help, but adopting a child JUST because it makes you feel like you've done your social obligation, doesn't prepare you raise that child.
After researching, maybe Ms. Ryan found that China's adoption program was the best program for her and her family(it is vastly different from the U.S. adoption system). Sure, one can adopt in the U.S., but how familiar are you within the U.S (and many other countries too)aren't available for adoption. Maybe they are in foster care?
Quite frankly, I'm disappionted that so many of you have had such strong oppinions when it's obvious that none of you have ever researched adoption–domestic or international!
I stopped reading comments after about the fourth but let me toss in that I worked for the welfare department for 13 years and I know first hand that everyone who qualifies for food stamps gets them. And the other 50% on foodstamps who don't qualify actually manage to get them too.
I've adopted from China and my child lived a life in one of China's "better" orphanages that doesn't even start to compare to the life most impoverished kids in the USA live. Drinking water had to be boiled, intestinal parisites were common, temps were in the 100′s and there was no air-conditioning, and the ratio of caregivers to orphans was about 1:30. But I didn't pick China because of that. I picked China because here in the USA, the child's toothless, crack addicted mother could waltz back into our life and take the baby back up to 6 months after the adoption was final. And statistics show that 1/3 do!
