Family and students at North Forsyth High School remembered a teenager killed in a car accident. The wreck on Hendrix Road in Cumming claimed the life of junior Kyle Robins on Monday afternoon. Another junior, a senior and three other people were hurt.
Barbara Robins, Kyle's mother, said she rushed to the scene.
"I said, 'Please let me go to my son so I can hold his hand while his soul goes to Heaven," said Barbara Robins.
The grief-stricken mother said her son was a good kid.
"He was an awesome child….He was mature for 17 -- like way beyond mature. He had great rationale skills, and he was a friend to everybody," said Barbara Robins.
Hundreds met at the flag pole in front of the school, and held a prayer service for Robins. There were plenty of tears, but also laughter as they tried to remember the good times with the student.
Students and faculty remembered Robins as a happy, dedicated student who loved life, his family and his friends.
Robins' friend, Clay Barton, said he "was a really good kid. I always, I mean, just had the best laugh. His laugh made me laugh. And he was always happy. I never saw him sad or anything."
"A super individual that loved life. Loved his family, loved his friends. I think he was dedicated to being successful. Really applied the values of life into the everyday world," said Athletic Director Nathan Turner.
According to deputies, Robins was driving classmate Joel Knost home. They say the two North Forsyth High juniors came around a curve and slammed into a pick-up truck. The impact nearly cut Robins' car in half.
Inside the pick-up truck were North Forsyth senior Ally Jameson, her aunt who works for the school district, a Cumming elementary school student and a child too young to be in school.
Robins died in the crash. The other victims in the crash were taken to an area hospital and later released. Investigators say the road was wet at the time, and they think that, along with excessive speed, played a role in the accident.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes organized Tuesday's ceremony. Robins was a member of the group and played golf.
The Robins said that Kyle's "celebration of life" ceremony will be held Friday at 5:00 p.m. and at The Mountain Lake Church in Cumming.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The state says it's phasing out many flashing "Prepare to Stop" signs in favor of a technology considered safer for drivers.
Traffic officials say too often the flashing signals cause drivers to speed up to make a light, causing more accidents at intersections.
Such crashes tend to be more severe because of the speed of cars trying to beat the red light, Joe Rutherford, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Transportation in central Ohio, told the Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/InN8cv ) for a story Saturday.
ODOT has already removed the flashing signs from its central Ohio district, including Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Pickaway and Union counties.
Officials are replacing many of the approximately 90 lights around the state with "dilemma zone" detectors that monitor the speed of vehicles and can extend a green light if cars can't stop in time.
The state will place three such detectors along U.S. route 33 in eastern and southeastern Ohio in the ODOT district including Coshocton, Fairfield, Guernsey, Knox, Licking, Muskingum and Perry counties. The detectors cost about $10,000 apiece.
Sometimes the flashing lights are preferable, as when a traffic light is obscured, said ODOT spokesman Steve Faulkner.
And some communities aren't ready to give up on the "prepare to stop" signs yet. Delaware installed two in the past two years and has a total of 10.
"We are looking at each location on a case-by-case basis to see if a signal should be there," said city spokesman Lee Yoakum.

Los Angeles, CA - With the BMW Concept 6 Series Coupe debuting at the 2010 Los Angeles International Auto Show as its backdrop, BMW announced today the production-ready BMW 650i Convertible. The new 650i Convertible will go on sale in the Spring of 2011 as a 2012 model for the United States. Final pricing, options, and packages will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
Words like "breathtaking" and "irresistible" punctuate the history of BMW Convertibles. Now, BMW has opened a new chapter in the tradition of open-top cars. The new BMW 650i Convertible fulfils the wishes of the most discerning automotive enthusiast as The Ultimate Driving Machine® with groundbreaking luxury and crisp good looks. In the premium convertible market, the 650i Convertible presents a convincing case with the most advanced chassis technology and most innovative comfort, infotainment and safety features.
A sweeping hood, aft-set passenger compartment, long wheelbase and muscular profile embody the hallmark proportions of a BMW Convertible. The new BMW 650i Convertible combines these features with a classic soft-top roof with flying buttress design. Powerfully contoured surfaces of its lines promise the anticipated BMW driving experience. The luxurious ambience of the interior is highlighted by a driver-oriented cockpit which wraps the front and rear passengers in a feeling of aesthetic security. Nowhere is the high-class functionality of the interior underlined more prominently than in the redesigned freestanding 10.2" Central Display of the standard iDrive control system.
V-8 engine with High Precision direct injection and turbocharging.
The 4.4-liter V-8 engine develops a maximum 400 hp between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm, and makes peak torque of 450 lb-ft between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm (preliminary). This unique "reverse-flow" engine, whose turbochargers are positioned in the V-area between the cylinder banks, produces an instantaneous and sustained wave of power, making it an energetic delight for the enthusiast driver.
Instantaneous power and torque are the stand-out features of the V-8 engine available of the new BMW 650i Convertible. The engine combines sporting character with outstanding smoothness, linear power delivery, and exceptional efficiency. The engine can be paired with either BMW's new 8-speed Sport Automatic gearbox or BMW's traditional 6-speed manual transmission, quite popular with North American enthusiasts.
The new BMW 650i Convertible completes the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds with the manual transmission (4.9 seconds with the 8-speed automatic), and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. This engine also boasts extraordinary efficiency for a model in its output class. EPA figures will be available closer to the on-sale date in 2011.
8-speed Sport Automatic Transmission.
The 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission fitted to the new BMW 650i Convertible boasts a perfect combination of speed, flexibility, sportiness, and efficiency. Its minimal torque converter slip and rapid gear changes set it apart. An innovative gear set configuration allows this transmission to offer eight gears, optimizing the sprinting power yet allowing the driver to save fuel by driving at low revs. Naturally, the driver can choose to select gears manually via shift paddles on the standard Sport leather steering wheel.
In addition to the efficiency of the engine and 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission, an extensive range of BMW EfficientDynamics measures contribute to reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Brake Energy Regeneration, on-demand operation of ancillary components, intelligent lightweight construction and extensive aerodynamic refinement ensure maximum efficiency.

What is your main interest in Nicaragua?
What would INTUR think?
According to our survey, so far, it looks like nobody wants to visit Nicaragua because they all want to live here. What would INTUR think?
I see that as simply a flaw
I see that as simply a flaw in the survey. You formed the question without thinking about who was most likely to see and respond to it.
What's to change and why?
I think that most of the tourism that's basically casual are people who go to the Pacific coast. Is anything much on this site for them. Nicaraguans surf also, so that tourism is probably going to be solid (with the people working for the resorts knowledgable about the local breaks and sharing their enthusiasm for Nicaraguan surfing with the foreign surfers).
The people interested in coming here to surf will check out surfing sites, not this one, even though you do show a lot of hits for information about surfing. Straight Google for surfing in Nicaragua shows a lot of specialized Nicaraguan surfing sites and no links to NicaLiving on the first page.
Nicaragua doesn't have the tour guides, dedicated guide books, and all that Costa Rica and Panama have for birders (I have a birder friend coming sometime this year so have been checking on this recently). I found three birding pal amateur guides and zero professional birding guides advertising where birders are more likely to look (I know someone who knows at least one dedicated birding guide in Esteli and Silva Negra advertises a birding guide). I'll probably introduce her to a Nicaraguan active in ecology work who is also an amateur birder who has been advising me. He is interested in seeing tourism developed in northern Nicaragua, and eco-tourism in particular.
Some kinds of tourism work best if the locals love the activity -- climbing, birding, and long distance trekking, for example, so you have people passionate about an activity sharing that passion with others.
You don't have a lot about Grenada or Leon as tourist destinations on this site (first page of Google hits for Grenada doesn't show anything from this site) so people Googling for Grenada as a tourist destination are unlikely to come here.
Bird guides? Birds and guides, but not many listings on this site that catch both terms, and none for bird guides. So, if I were going to come to Nicaragua to bird in a place that still has unexplored areas and the largest tropical rainforest north of the Amazon, I come up with nada on this site, and close to nada on the dedicated birding information sites (three local bird pals, only one of whom can take people out during the week).
This site caters to people who want to come to Nicaragua to live (or are fantasizing about it, probably the majority). That's what it says in the url, so it's no surprise that's what the poll shows.
Do you want to attract tourists? Seems like you'd lose the focus of the site if you did that.
Rebecca Brown
Spelling bee time
"so people Googling for Grenada as a tourist destination are unlikely to come here."
I wonder why?
Google fixes dyslexic spellings.
We still don't have any information that shows up on the first page.
Rebecca Brown
But what a potential resident wants to see...
...is very different than what a tourist wants to see.
Tourism is basically an experience of living as if rich for a short period of time, having meals out, doing specialized tourist activities, seeing famous buildings and landscapes. Or it's engaging in a favorite activity in a new location, like birding. My friend is coming to Nicaragua after two trips to the Galapagos
Different kinds of traveling, even if it's on the same visa.
People coming to see Nicaragua as a potential place to live need to know something about the water supply, how the electrical grid works where they're thinking of living, and how comfortable they are being the non-local in a world of locals whose lives are rather different than standard operating system North American. Going to see the Footprints, Grenada, and Masaya's volcano won't give that much information about those things.
A friend who lives in Japan said it's just life with humans, only speaking Japanese. That's not what tourists are looking for. They're going to Kyoto, not Gifu, a post war industrial city.
Rebecca Brown
If you wish,
If you wish, I can repeat myself again and tell you that we're not planning any changes...
OMG Susan and I agree...........
The world will come to an end... LOL
Grenada is a bunch of islands
Granada is a Nicaraguan City and Department
Aside from the obvious errors you are assuming
the survey's purpose is to increase the visitor count and internet rankings.
Rebecca, you make wrong assumptions such as how this site is paid for (on another thread). You seem to have made the wrong assumption here also. Your track record on this site is one that identifies you as a person who believes herself the be an expert on many things after just a very short time 'on the job'. For example: You have spent less time in Nicaragua than some tourists I meet. Yet you profess to be an expert in many things Nicaraguan. This is similar to your comments about other countries, yet you have never been off the continent. In court this would be considered "Hearsay". And we all know how much credibility the courts place in that.
You sort of remind me of a worker who applied for a bricklayers job at my firm. When I asked him if he was a worker who could produce quality work he said of course. When I asked him if he knew all aspects of the trade he felt insulted. When I asked him how long he was working as bricklayer he told me: Well actually, I never laid a brick in my life but I watched for a while and I know how it is done.
Oracle of Nicaragua
Please let Jennifer post. I am happy to see her posts in real time as her experiences dictate.
I say Jen keep posting and thanks for doing so.
Really Mark? Jennifer??? LOL
You likely mean Rebecca, but maybe you know more than we do about her? I read your post before someone edited it, (This seems to be the day for that.), but didn't have the time to reply.
In order to keep this thread as clean as possible I have posted the rest of my reply under Acclaracion.
Reminds me of the old joke
In Spanish for your pleasure: Dos amigos buscando trabajo en construccion van con el maestro de obras y este le pregunta al primero: Entonces que sabes hacer? Pues yo francamente nada. El maestro de obras le pregunta al otro: Y vos entonces que haces? Este le contesta orgullosamente: A pues yo soy el asistente de mi amigo.
You already have a reputation! ... jajaja
You will be glad to hear that I have decided the let the woman spout her nonsense without further comments from me. (I have my own nonsense to spout.)
Yellow Card - Nicareal
Cretinous Bastard violation.
Not Only A Cretin
but a crusty cretin to boot.
But, what would the site be without him?? Allowances have to be made . . .
that's funny....
here i've been trying to make a scene, i didn't know the position of cretinous bastard was available.... why wasn't i told about this?
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene." -Homer J. Simpson
Well THAT explains it!
YOU were SUPPOSED to get us all t-shirts printed with "Cretinous Bastard". Didn't you get the memo?! LOL
special delivery
oh, the t - shirts are made, i wanted to deliver yours personally!
ok, do i get a yellow card violataion for that? sheesh, what's a cretinous bastard got to do to get some attention?
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'you're making a scene." -Homer J. Simpson
At least I din't get the dreaded
I would have to think about
I would have to think about it, but my first thought is that it is almost impossible to get the response you want with the target audience. I would expect very few people who have signed up on this site (and can respond) are vacationers. It's sort of like asking a forum set up for vegetarians how they like their steak. You might get the type of response you want if you could ask the same question of everyone who arrived in Managua during a certain time period, but I don't think we have the tools for that.
I know what you mean
but I also know we get newcomers who ask tourism related questions.
Nicaragua Here I Come
I haven't live in Nicaragua since 1998 and I cannot wait to move back to my homeland,

Tom Knight:
Two Forester owners – Margo Romanowski from Boston, Massachusetts, and Tom Knight from Jacksonville, Florida – each spent a day driving a new Forester 2.5i model with a professional auto journalist (John Matras). Their observations follow.
In a nutshell, the 2014 Forester comes loaded for bear and holds surprises for everyone, regardless of expectations. The best news is that the core values we all love about Forester – functionality and dependability – remain unchanged. Yet Subaru has taken significant steps to make sure our vehicle of choice remains the class leader in technology.
We Subaru buyers have always been very pointed in the demands we place upon our vehicles. We even have been called "quirky." But we knew what we valued most: reliable transportation that could haul home the bacon when we needed it.
Well, hallelujah! Starting with the current model's styling, we could ride with our heads high. More importantly, we can see a whole lot better out of the Forester than any of the competing makes.
One more thing: When we pull up to the crowd and our tailgate pops up remotely, there are going to be more than a few folks who think we Subaru guys and gals are really on to something. And when we take off across the tundra and leave them sitting there … well, they'll know they missed out.
As is vogue these days, the Forester came loaded with electronic goodies. The higher the trim level you pick, the more goodies you get. Even the base level, though, has features we could only dream about just a few years ago – all the "buzz-word" applications, such as Bluetooth®1 audio, status reports on operational readiness, and constant feedback on mileage to aid in operating efficiency.
Mechanical – The Drive
New for this year (optional on Forester 2.5i models and standard on turbo models) is the Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The big benefit is increased efficiency, which really pays off at the gas pump. With fewer moving parts, the CVT also should prove a boon to trouble-free operation.
After spending several hours in the Forester, under all kinds of driving conditions – city, country roads, and even some Florida sandpits – you forget all about the technology of the transmission and just enjoy the ride.

We have been stocking Obey for a long time and absolutey love their style and products! Here is a good read on Obeys Men's Designer Mike Ternosky is one of the main guys responsible for translating Shepard Fairey's vision to OBEY. By that's just one of the many things he does.
Read full Article here - http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com/features/about_a_guy_mike_ternosky
Introduce yourself!
My name is Mike Ternosky and I am from Los Angeles, CA, originally from Avalon, NJ, in South Jersey. I went to Philadel-phia Textile, which is Philadelphia University now.
So, how did you get started with Obey Clothing? I grew up working at skate shops and surf shops. As I got older in high school I started doing the buying for some of the stores. The summer of my junior year of college, I came out to California to stay with a friend down in the San Diego area, and I started interning at a bunch of different action sports companies doing freelance work. My senior year, some guys that I knew were going to break off to start a new company and it ended up they were talking with Shepard. I knew all the guys that had been doing stuff for Space 1026 who had gone to school with Andrew Jeffery Wright, Ben Woodward, and all those guys. I used to see them at Pearl Art Supply over on South Street. I was very familiar with the stuff and when it came time to do a clothing company, I said, "Oh yeah we could totally do something around that."
What is the best thing about working with Shepard Fairey?
His work ethic. He is definitely one of the hardest working people I've ever met in my entire life. He just carries on, carries through anything. He is very, very persistent and passionate about his work. I think it's a real example that if you put hard work into something, it pays off more than good luck. Success is a product of hard work and I think he's an example of it.
Do you guys ever disagree about stuff?
Oh absolutely. Absolutely. It's funny, we're in the clothing business so there's certain trends and you kind of analyze stuff. Do we want to address this trend or do we not want to address it? I vividly remember a few years ago when we started doing some tank tops he was like, "Tank tops? Oh god, that reminds me of Myrtle Beach." I said, "Shep, you've got to think about us growing up, like old school influences, like Christian Hosoi, and all those guys. '80s vert skating, people were wearing tank tops so let's approach it from that angle."
How would you describe the Obey lifestyle?
I think this day and age, everybody wants to put something in a box: we're a streetwear brand, we're a high-end fashion brand, we're a surf brand, or a skate brand or whatever it is. The way I think Shep looked at it, and I did also, was we're really a product of all our influences, a lot of those being our friends, or the music we're listening to and stuff like that. So I think as a brand we represent so many different people. I grew up listening to hardcore music and hip-hop and all those things, now I like old-school country. Your tastes grow and evolve, and I think what we've done with Obey is take our early childhood influences, what we were influenced by in high school, and what we were influenced by during the college years, and refresh those ideas and bring it to a new audience.
Where do you draw inspiration from when you're designing?
A combination of past life experiences—childhood memories, nostalgia from the things I grew up doing, skateboarding, and music. These days definitely whatever music I'm listening to. We just got back from Copenhagen and Stockholm and that was a big influence. And then, just being out and about. Going out to shows or DJ events or a bar or restaurant with friends. I'm big on designing from a feeling and sometimes at restaurants or a bar or a venue you get a certain feeling from it and you can really translate that into clothing.
Any closing thoughts?
To anybody that wants to get into the clothing business, I think in this day and age there are so many opportunities like with the computer, screen printing, and stenciling. If you're not happy with the product that's out there, instead of complaining about it on the Internet, more then ever you have the tools and ability to make your own stuff. You can do things on a small scale and be able to change stuff. Instead of being more vocal about things, be more active.

I would be very interested to see how all the crowd sourced efforts worked out whether if I were to be a participant at TED 2012 or see it later in the video. And then there's also the fact that many may not even know about it yet.
Good luck on the Talk.

Anita is described as 5' tall, between 120 to 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black blouse. She does wear wire rim glasses.

GENERIC NAME: famciclovir
BRAND NAME: Famvir
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Famciclovir is an antiviral drug which is active against the Herpes viruses, including herpes simplex 1 and 2 (cold sores and genital herpes) and varicella-zoster (shingles and chickenpox). It belongs to a class of drugs called nucleoside analogs that mimic one of the building blocks of DNA. It stops the spread of herpes virus in the body by preventing the replication of viral DNA that is necessary for viruses to multiply. Other drugs in the same class include acyclovir (Zovirax) and valacyclovir (Valtrex). Famciclovir is actually a "prodrug," that is, not active directly against viruses. Instead, famciclovir is converted to penciclovir in the body, and it is the penciclovir that is active against the viruses. Famciclovir is active against the same viruses as acyclovir but has a longer duration of action. Therefore, it can be taken fewer times each day. Famciclovir does not cure or stop the spread of herpes infections. Famciclovir relieves pain, burning, itching, and tingling, and also heals and prevents sores associated with herpes infections. Famciclovir was approved for use by the FDA in June 1994.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 125, 250, and 500 mg STORAGE: Famciclovir should be stored at room temperature, 15-30 C (59-86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Famciclovir is used for the treatment of genital herpes, and cold sores in adult patients with normal immune systems and HIV-infected individuals. It also is approved for treating shingles (herpes zoster) in adults with normal immune systems. To be most effective, famciclovir should be started as soon as possible after the diagnosis of a herpes infection.
DOSING: Famciclovir may be taken with or without food. The recommended doses are:
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Probenecid (Benemid) may reduce the kidney's removal of famciclovir leading to higher concentrations of famciclovir in the blood. This may lead to side effects from famciclovir.
PREGNANCY: Famciclovir has not been adequately studied in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known if famciclovir is excreted into human breast milk. Women may wish to consider an alternative to breastfeeding if famciclovir is taken.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects associated with the use of famciclovir are headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, rash, diarrhea, and flatulence. Serious but rare side effects include serious allergic reactions, serious skin reactions, jaundice, abnormal tests of liver function, and reduced white blood cells (neutropenia) or platelets (thrombocytopenia). Cases of kidney failure have been reported when higher than recommended doses of famciclovir were administered to patients with underlying kidney problems.

These puppy pads are value priced, are thick enough to absorb, anything below 40 grams would be questionable in my opinion. I am blessed with a pup who actually uses her piddle pads. (Posted on 4/18/11)

Laura P. said:
Adelia Aguilar is like Kay Scarpetta in the 1100s. Great story and great detail from the period. Loved the characters. I highly recommend the audiobook as the talented reader does the dialects etc. Really brings the characters to life. Though PW review says the romance is unnecessary, I like it. It softened Adelia a bit.

Dear Diary,
'A New Day Has Come' (the tune mom keeps humming) and
there's a great feeling of gratitude and lots of love in the air throughout my kingdom. Even Queen Nakita seems to be trotting around in a good mood and keeping her paws and claws to herself.
As I mentioned in my last diary entry, my Sissy C had a baby boy, and on my birthday! I already share my birthday with my Auntie M and my Auntie K's son, Ryan. In fact Ryan and I not only share the same day, we are the same age! ** although somehow I feel so much older and wiser than him…. giggles ** So now I am thrilled that I also get to share my special day with my precious new human nephew. *purrs*
Mom is so grateful that as I turned a healthy 12 years old, that Lil' T came into the world a healthy, happy baby! Sissy C is mom's only child and it was thought for many years that her having any kids was not going to happen. But it now has and we're truly blessed with little baby T!
Another nice thing I am grateful for is that my friends remembered my birthday and stopped by my room to help celebrate my day! That was so kind, as we haven't been around for quite awhile. I quickly pawed out a diary expressing my thanks and explained the distracting and exciting news about Sissy C, only to later discover that it became a Daily Pick! Many more purrs of 'thanks.' Mom said that I could trot around later this evening and give out my proper 'thank yous.' Hurray, time in catsterland, I can't wait!
All is well here in my kingdom. Chico and I still spend the days wrestling and from time to time we are able to go out and explore the outback. Nakita has adjusted well to losing most of her eyesight, in fact if you didn't know it you wouldn't be able to even tell. And Lil' Muppet has been off of the pain meds for several months now. She has mostly good days and is just as adventurous as ever, keeping mom on her toes. *smiles*
I hope my friends know how much I appreciate them and I hope they too are all doing well.
Happy, Happy Purrs & Headbonks,
Dear Friends,
My Sissy C is at the hospital right now having a baby boy! Mom's first grandbaby ....and being born on my birthday! Hurray! I am very grateful for everyone who has stopped by to wish me a great day, even though I haven't been around much. Big kitty hugs & love to you all!
When things settle down here, I will trot around and give my personal thanks. I appreciate each of you for making this happy day even brighter!
Headbonks & Love,
Dear Diary....I wrote this a few months ago and for some reason I failed to post it? (mom says you'll know why if you take a moment to read this...blushes) Just found it in my diary archive and wanted to share as mom is still amazed and in shock by my recent 'tail twitching' behavior...
It has been very tiring over the past few years, to say the least, to try and remain the King of my Castle. Aah, to reminisce about the wonderful days when it was just Sebastian and I. Sebastian had a few belongings which, for the most part I allowed, but everything else belonged to me, myself and I! Sebastian unexpectedly left us one sad day and everything within my castle's walls became solely, and rightfully, mine! Then Chico came along and all remained peaceful as I allowed him to have a few treasures for which he could claim as his own and we were both blissfully happy. All that has changed since mom started rescuing pathetic, needy kitties and bringing them into my castle! I have finally had it, and this King has undeniably decided to make a stand!
At first it wasn't too bad as most seemed to be quarantined to mom's and the spare sleeping quarters. They seemed to take shelter here, get well and then move on to their own castles. But then, and I can't put my finger on the exact day, things slowly began to change. Some decided to stay long after their welcome and were actually bold enough to start trotting freely around my domain, trying to conquer and claim everything in sight as their own! Yep! My favorite sleeping spots were suddenly scented with their icky aromas left behind on their tufts of fur. The nerve! My food and water dishes had another's smell of saliva emanating from them! Ick! My precious jewels (toys) were disappearing right and left only to be later found tarnished and relocated throughout my kingdom! Thieves!! And don't even get me started about my once private throne! (litter box)
Enough is enough and I am reclaiming everything as MINE!
* My favorite spots to sleep…. Now once again covered in MY fur…only!
* My favorite serving dish….. Now just a dab of my regurgitated food left in it, just enough to make the other's bypass it and feast out of the other dishes. Score!
* My favorite jewels….Now well hidden and I'm sentencing harsh paw lashes to any others who dare discovers them and attempts to steal them!
* UPS & USPS Boxes that have been claimed by other's to play in…. A quick spin around, a bit of tail twitching and they are marked as garbage by mom! Ha! Take that!
* The newest cat tower and cat posts…. More tail twitching. MINE! (Reads note to self…. "Must rethink this strategy as mom becomes highly upset with me.")
* My Sissy C thinking that she can non-stop text another male and ignore ME? .... a bit of tail twitching… done… she is marked as MINE! (Reads another note to self.. "Must NEVER do this to a human again, Sissy C is now also psychologically marked by this and mom is ready to have me committed for insanity!")
I have taken my stand! This castle is now once again conquered and claimed as ALL MINE! ** Glances at computer and notices that mom is researching insane asylums for cats. Scampers off and hides.** MOL!
Headbonks & Kingly Purrs
~~Note from Sam's mom… Has anyone ever heard or had the experience of a cat 'marking' them? I'm beside myself with Sam's recent behavior, especially peeing on Courtney!!! He's healthy and these have all been deliberate acts, I swear he runs off giggling. He has always been an oddball, but this is beginning to appear like he is going senile!~~

Trine Maker Frozenbyte, Atlus Partner on New GameThe next game out of Trine and Shadowgrounds developer Frozenbyte--"an as-of-yet unannounced 2011 digital distribution title"--will be published by Atlus, the pair revealed today, vowing that they will reveal more during E3 2010 next week.
"We can't wait to unveil the mystery," Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvarinen teased in the announcement." I'm confident that we're creating one of the best titles of 2011!"
Atlus and Frozenbyte previously paired to bring Trine to Xbox 360, revealing at E3 2009 that that PC and PlayStation 3 game was also "coming soon to: Xbox Live Arcade," though both companies now say the Xbox 360 release is unlikely to happen.

The Kane Wolves 3-on-3 12-year-old team took fourth place out of 16 teams overall in the 11-12 year-old devision at the Clarion High School 3-on-3 annual tournament. The tournament was held this past Saturday, March 23, in Clarion. In the photo, from left to right are Austin Pierson, Jared Hadsell, Alex Rezzelle and Clayton Detrick.
The 22 Kane junior wrestlers participating in March 15s Area V tournament Friday in Clarion had two special visitors to practice this week. Kane High School wrestlers Cody Blankenship and Evan Delong came to practice to work with the boys and give them a pep talk prior to their big weekend. Delong and Blankenship just competed in the PIAA Wrestling Championships in Hershey last week, with Delong bringing home a second place medal.
These 22 young Kane wrestlers have qualified for the Area V Wrestling Tournament to be held March 16 in Clarion. The top two finishers in each age/weight division will advance to the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championships at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg.
Kane's Nate Moore works for the pin in the first period of his consolation finals match against Clarion's Zach Sintobin. Moore ended up pinning his opponent in the second period to take third place at the District 9 AA tournament. The top four finishers at each weight class advance to this Friday and Saturday's Northwest Regional Tournament in Sharon. Looking on from the Kane corner is assistant coach Dan Moore, who happens to be Nate's father, and Wolves' head coach Mike Swartwood.
Evan Delong looks up to check the clock during his District 9 finals match against Redbank Valley's Cole Shirey. Delong and Shirey battled to a 1-1 tie through regulation, then the Wolves' junior kept his Bulldog opponent from escaping during the second overtime period to remain deadlocked 1-1. Delong then managed to escape late in the third overtime to get the hard-fought 2-1 win and the district title. Delong, along with teammates Cody Blankenship, Darren Brown and Nate Moore will wrestle this weekend at the Northwest Regional Tournament to try to advance to the PIAA Championship Tournament.
The Wolves' Darren Brown tries to tilt Smethport's Jake Abrams in the consolation finals match at the 138-pound weight class. The Kane junior defeated Abrams 7-0 to take third place in D9's AA tournament on Saturday and will move on to the Northwest Regional Tournament this Friday and Saturday. Looking on are Kane assistant coaches Eugene Brown (Darren's dad) and Cameron Moran.
Nerissa Rich looks to pass the ball during Thursday's game against Warren in the Wolves' Den. Rich and six of her teammates were honored prior to the game in senior recognition ceremonies. Kane coach Kiehl referred to the Lady Wolves' forward as "one of the hardest workers I have ever coached."
Kane's Taylor Morgan (20) passes the ball inside to teammate Taylor Bucheit during Friday night's game with Brockway. Nine different players scored for the Lady Wolves in the 27-point win.
Nerissa Rich calls for the ball inside during the second half of Friday's game against Brockway. Kane won the game 49-22 to improve to 12-2 on the season.
Jackie Bedford dribbles the ball towards the basket during Friday's game against Brockway. The Lady Wolves jumped out to a 15-0 lead after one quarter and cruised to the victory.


text: (WNFL) - The Wisconsin men's basketball team will play at Virginia tonight in the Big Ten-A-C-C Challenge. The eighth-ranked Badgers are 8-and-0, after beating West Virginia by seven points last Wednesday to win the Cancun Challenge in Mexico. Sophomore Sam Dekker had 21 points and 12 rebounds for Wisconsin in that contest. Virginia, coached by a son of former Badgers' coach Dick Bennett, is 7-and-1 after trouncing Missouri State 83-to-63 last Saturday at a holiday tournament in Corpus Christi Texas. It was the first tournament title in Tony Bennett's four-plus seasons as Virginia's coach. Senior guard Joe Harris scored 30 points in two tournament games last weekend. Virginia has won six straight. A year ago, the Cavaliers controlled the boards in a six-point win over the Badgers in Madison. This season, Virginia averages 13 more rebounds than their opponents.

Matt Ryan is elated that offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is staying on board.
Matt Ryan is elated that offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is staying on board.
Quarterback Matt Ryan was elated that offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter elected to stay with the Falcons after signing a contract extension. "I'm excited about it," Ryan said. "He's obviously a great coach and has helped us out a bunch this year. I think the guys enjoy working with him and learning from him. I'm excited he's going to be here, and I know the guys are, too." Ryan has flourished in Koetter's more aggressive offensive style, which features a more vertical passing attack. "I think the thing everybody respects and likes the most is that he trusts our guys to go out there and make plays," Ryan said. "He's not afraid to be aggressive and it's been fun." Ryan said Koetter made a big impression on the players when he made an effort to adapt to their offensive terminology and not the other way around. "One of the biggest things that helped throughout the situation was him adapting to the terminology and a lot of the concepts that we used," Ryan said. "One guy changing for the mass, as opposed to the mass changing for the one guy. I think guys really respected that and appreciated that." http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-falcons-blog/2013/01/02/atlanta-falcons-smith-is-happy-that-koetter-is-staying-on-board/

What do you think about when you find yourself unable to sleep and looking up at the ceiling in the middle of the night?
I sometimes think that during this time, I do my best thinking on issues.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been thinking about changes that are going to have an impact on the Owen County Clerk's office in 2013 and 2014.
Questions such as:
• Will the redistricting be done in 2013 or 2014?
• Will we be able to get all the maps and description changes done and approved on time?
Tuesday, the Senate went back in to session for the second part of the 2013 General Assembly session.
We are proud to announce that we have set a date for our 14th annual Charlie Satterwhite Memorial Golf Shamble. This year's tournament will take place on Saturday, April 6, at Fairway Golf Course in Wheatley. Your participation over these past 11 years has been greatly appreciated. Your efforts have allowed us to raise over $110,000 for our two charitable organizations.
Americans are good at a lot of things but one trait that seems to run through most of our history is the ability to turn a bad situation to our advantage through innovation and a willingness to look outside the box.
The weak economy and the deterioration of the tobacco market has opened the door for Kentucky farmers to once again start raising hemp as a lucrative cash crop.
It's what they call a short session at the General Assembly.
Since the state's legislature started holding annual meetings instead of every two years, the odd numbered years have been limited to 30 days instead of 90.
The state faces a lot of problems and 30 days doesn't seem like a lot of time to address them in any realistic way.
In recent months we have heard a lot about the right to keep and bear arms. What is our duty as Christian Americans in regard to this important matter?
We know that everyone has been really concerned about school safety since the Newtown tragedy. Be assured that OCES is continuously thinking about our students' safety. Owen County Elementary School practices emergency situations throughout the year.
When our SBDM committee last met, the committee agreed on the modification of a few procedures that stood out as concerns. Below, we have bulleted the changes or modifications that will be implemented as of Feb. 1.
As of Feb. 1:
I would like to say thank you to the Owen County Volunteer Fire Department.
They came to our house on Sunday, Jan. 13, in the cold, rainy weather. They were at our house in less than one minute from the time we called 911 and had the fire under control within minutes.
So if you see a fireman make sure you say thank you for all they do. I know I will.
Again, thanks so much.
Spanky, Mandi, Kayleigh and Levi Hudnall

"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time....Sarah breathes on her own."
That's the status update that came with the new video of little Sarah Murnaghan.
In the video, Sarah's aunt asks Sarah, "Are you off your machines?" To which Sarah eventually responds, "I feel fine."
"She's getting no assistance, whatsoever," Janet tells the camerawoman.
Sarah gives a brief smile at the end.
Sarah has been recovering at home since mid-August. She had previously endured two lung transplants and was at the center of a battle to get on the adult transplant list after almost dying from cystic fibrosis.

VIRGINIA BEACH-- Drivers may have noticed more trash than usual on the roads near Mount Trashmore Wednesday morning.
Avis Budget Group uses a private trash company to haul away its recyclable paper, but papers somehow ended up along along Baxter Road and Independence Boulevard.
Once company officials learned what happened, employees walked around to pick them up.
13News took some of the papers to Va. Beach Police to see if customers should be concerned about the information on the documents if they all weren't retrieved.
Spokesman Officer Jimmy Barnes stated, "There's nothing there that would be detrimental, that you and I can pick up and go create a false ID with. You can get more information on the Internet that what's showing on that piece of paper."
However, police stress how important it is to shred important documents that you throw away.

Varicella (or chickenpox) is a highly infectious disease, usually associated with childhood. By adulthood, the vast majority of Americans have had chickenpox or have previously been vaccinated in childhood. Although more than 90 percent of pregnant women are immune to chickenpox, about 1 in 2,000 pregnant women in the United States will develop chickenpox during pregnancy, however, because they are not immune. Pregnant women who get chickenpox are at risk for serious complications.
The disease is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is a form of the herpes virus. Transmission occurs from person-to-person by direct contact with an infected person's rash, or through the air by a cough or sneeze. Chickenpox is contagious one to two days before the appearance of the rash until the blisters have dried and become scabs. Once exposed to the virus, chickenpox may take up to 14 to 16 days to develop.
When a woman has a varicella infection during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, there is a 2 percent chance for the baby to develop a group of birth defects called the "congenital varicella syndrome." This includes scars, defects of muscle and bone, malformed and paralyzed limbs, a small head size, blindness, seizures, and intellectual disability. This syndrome rarely occurs if the infection happens after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Another time there is a concern with a varicella infection is during the newborn period, if the mother develops the rash from five days before to two days after delivery. Between 25 and 50 percent of newborns will be infected in this case, and develop a rash between five and 10 days after birth. Up to 30 percent of infected babies will die if not treated. If the mother develops a rash between six and 21 days before delivery, the baby faces some risk of mild infection.
In 1995, the FDA approved a chickenpox vaccine. If the baby is treated immediately after birth with an injection of VZIG (varicella-zoster immune globulin), the infection can be prevented or the severity lessened.
If a pregnant woman has been exposed to someone with chickenpox or shingles, VZIG can be given within 96 hours to prevent chickenpox, or lessen the severity. It is important for pregnant women to avoid exposure to anyone with chickenpox if they are not sure whether they are immune to this infection.
The best way to protect against chickenpox is to get the chickenpox vaccine. Women should not get vaccinated during pregnancy or during the 30 days before becoming pregnant.

There have been several instances recently where people have taken assault rifles or other weapons to malls or public places, creating a disturbance.
"What we are trying to do is prevent the person who is legally and lawfully carrying a gun from getting cited for disorderly conduct," Ray said. Those who take an assault rifle to the mall deserve to be ticketed, Ray said.

"I 100 percent support the Second Amendment, but I don't support someone who doesn't do it responsibly," Ray said.
The committee passed two other gun-related bills. One, HB211, would exempt service members stationed in Utah and their spouses from a requirement that they get a concealed weapons permit in his or her home state before getting one in Utah. The other, HB121, would let gun owners or their cohabitant family members turn their firearms over to police for up to 60 days if they feel they could harm themselves or others.

CJRC Feature Story: Jesse Drian Joins the Trojan Family to Study Japanese Buddhism
New Graduate Student in EALC, Jesse Drian,
Joins the Trojan Family to Study Japanese Buddhism
By Xin Gu
Communications Management, USC Annenberg
CJRC student writer
Jesse Drian is a new student in the Ph.D. program in theDepartment of East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC) at USC. Jesse is also a Graduate Student Affiliate of the USC Center for Japanese Religions and Culture (CJRC).
Jesse was born and raised in Goshen, New York. He received his B.A. in East Asian Studies from Haverford College in 2009 with high honors, then continued his studies, receiving an M.A. in the Regional Studies: East Asia department at Harvard University in 2012. The more Jesse learned about East Asia, the more he became interested in medieval Buddhism and Japanese literature. To further his academic career, Jesse chose to pursue his doctorate degree at USC, beginning in the Fall of 2012. Currently, Jesse's primary research area is concentrated on Buddhism, literature, and material/visual culture in premodern Japan, particularly through the lens of ritual and performance.
Jesse Drian is excited about his student life and beginning his studies at USC. "USC is a large community. Students here are eager to share time with me," said Jesse. "Other students in the program are doing all sorts of different things and they have lived all over the world. So, just by talking to people, you learn so much, like what they are studying and what are their experiences."
Despite the hassle of commuting in Los Angeles without a car, Jesse finds many resources at USC very helpful. "The libraries here are fantastic. I can always find what I need. In addition, libraries are expanding their electronic resources, which is very helpful. And the Center for Japanese Religions and Culture provides a lot of resources and brings in many people for talks, which is also a good opportunity to meet new people and share ideas with them." While Jesse received admissions offers from other excellent universities, such as Yale University, in the end, he decided that USC was the best fit for him. "USC seems like the perfect mix of people, resources and opportunities for (my) personal growth," Jesse explained.
In the coming years, Jesse's goals are to achieve higher levels in his Japanese and Chinese language studies, and to continue improving his research skills. He is looking forward to learning more about Japanese Buddhism and literature, sharing ideas with other people, and gaining experience in teaching. "For the long-term, I hope to become a professor teaching Japanese religion and Japanese literature," said Jesse.
