Now the 19-year-old is done with the play stuff and is re-emerging into the limelight with a wedding ring -- she's been married for two years -- and promoting her emotional, self-penned new single, "If You Love Me," off her upcoming EP Take 1.
"Pretty much the EP has a soulful direction, funky, but it's still R&B, and

Coins from the reign of Croesus to that of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Paleologos have been found in the modern excavations of Sardis, in Turkey. We will explore what images the changing dynasties at Sardis put on their coins, and why we find coins in the ruins of many different buildings, such as the ancient temple of Diana, the synagogue, the Imperial Temple, the theater, and the houses of Sardis.
Reception to follow lecture.
Free admission.
Complimentary parking at Broadway Garage, 7 Felton Street.
To honor the memory of renowned numismatist and scholar Leo Mildenberg (1912–2001) and his years of friendship with Harvard University, a fund was established by his friends and colleagues and endowed in 2005 by his wife, Ilse Mildenberg-Seehausen.

In the first place, the unfitness of the place is attractive to many minds. A religious service in a church is a seemly and decorous thing; but a religious service in a rink or a circus-tent is something out of the common; there is a pleasing incongruity about it which to many persons is highly amusing. They attend such a service for the same reason that they go to see the five-legged calf or the two-headed nightingale. These places are haunted not only by worshipers of the incongruous, but also by that large class of persons who have been happily described as "the camp- stool congregation"—those who always go where the newest sensation is, and who are never truly happy except when they ere in a crowd. Of these two classes there are enough in any considerable community to crowd the largest assembly room that can be found in the neighborhood. And, when the crowd is gathered, it is easy to stir up a considerable amount of feeling. The persons who compose such an auditory are generally excitable ; the lively music, the vigorous and pathetic appeals of the preachers readily affect them, and we often seem to see large numbers of them entering upon the religious life. Such services, however, come to an end before many weeks, and then these new disciples find themselves suddenly set adrift. All their religious experience has been connected with the rink or the tabernacle; when that is closed they are not drawn in any other direction. The influence of locality upon the religious life is a great deal stronger than some persons think; the place where prayer is wont to be made is the place to which those who have learned to pray love to betake themselves ; the less cultivated the worshiper is, the less inclined is he to worship in a strange place; the more is he dependent for his religious enjoyment upon local associations. Though the churches all open their doors for these convicts of the rink, very many of them will fail to enter the churches; or, if they do go a few times, all the surroundings are strange to them, and they soon cease to appear in the places where they would be welcome. It was the observation of this fact that led Mr. Moody, during the last winter, to seek to connect his work more directly with the churches. He has come to feel that it is far better to make use of the church as the instrument of evangelization than to create other machinery, simply because the results of his work are in this way so much more fully harvested and secured. The method which he followed last winter in Baltimore is less spectacular and striking than that which he liad followed previously; but in the long run he thinks it will be more productive; and the adoption of it does giseat credit to his head and his heart. It shows that he possesses .sound sense, and that he is not a selfish seeker after notoriety. It is to be hoped that Mr. Moody's conclusion will be adopted by those the churches places into which all the people woulcl delight to go, the result- of their labors would be larger an( morep'ermanent.—Bimftay Afternonrt , '--0AK£i>A,2iasalready--paid Trjou-atie^ ,^li mmv®m oi the %ai* diMSia ft-. iM tz?M <£ i&OjGQQ aiad© hy < 'of.

I only invite any one who doubts my statement to compare such a rough, common matter as 'cut nails.' Our rubbish, with half of them split up, which tends to turn round in the wood and split it, and with conical heads, looks very poor against the straight, clean nails, with well-formed heads, which the Americans used to send to Australia, and which, when I had once seen them, prevented me from ever buying an English nail again as long as I could get the American ones." The Paris Petit Journal gives an in! teresting account of the progress of French savings, which shows what a wonderfully thrifty as well a3 wealthy country France is. The deposits of the seventeen years before the war showed a very marked increase in tne material prosperity of the country, their annual progression being about 30,000,000 francs, or $6,000,000. After the war the deposits fell suddenly from 720,OQQ,000 francs to 515,000,000 francs in 1872; then they began to rise gradually to 535,000,000 francs in 1873, and to 573,000,000 francs in 1874. At this date successful efforts were made to propagate the system of savings banks, and" the deposits rose to 600,000,000 francs in 1875, to 769,000,000 francs in 1876, to 863,000,000 francs in 1877, and to 1,010,000,000 francs in 1878. Thus, in the space of four years, the deposits augmented 437,000,000 francs. No deposit is allowed to exceed 1,000 fraiyjs; when this sum is exceeded the savings bank purchases rentes, which it delivers to the depositor. Eemarfcable Case of Death by Light- ning-o A house was pointed out as a negro cabin in which a woman was killed under the following circumstances: She was sitting in a chair that was leaifing against the wall in the corner, and holding an infant in her arms, with five or six children lying on the floor at her feet. There were no signs of the track of the lightning bolt about the house at all. The right or left temple of the woman had received the electric blow, and was pressed in as if by a terrible stroke from a stamp usually used by postmasters in mailing letters. The woman was instantly killed without moving or giving any evidence of death. The infant was but slightly injured. The dead mother sat there for nearly three-quarters of an hour with her little infant still quietly folded in her-lifeless arms. The others at her feet were more or less hurt. One or two were set on fire and seriously damaged. The woman, however, was the only one that was fatally injured. This was certainly a most remarkable occurrence.—Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper. Remark of tbe oyster Sept. 1," Here we R again.'' '■■ ",'M "Co-" the 'gaHows -afiigiit even then "be e*^*M8lea:-tb-ijife'^y( the sake of her poor children." Sept. 10, 1864, Jane Myers and Joseph Sargisson were executed at Leeds, and on the 10th of January, 1867, Ann Lawrence suffered death at Maidstone for the murder of her child. On the 27th of May, 1870, Margaret Lynch and her brother, Lawrence, were hanged at Tullamore, Ireland, for the murder of one Dunn, and on the 11th of October, within the precincts of Horsemonger lane jail, was put to death the notorious Margaret Waters, the baby- farmer. She had many aliases, and was known to receive infants at railroad stations and in the streets. "Wherever she made her residence,at Brixton,Battersea, Peckham, the emaciated bodies of babies were found with suspicious frequency in out-of-the-way places. On the eve of her execution she wrote a statement attributing her resorting to baby-farming to financial difiiculties; she had borrowed money at exorbitant interest, and people were willing to pay freely to get rid of their illegitimate children— she thought they were more to blame than herself. She owned to having laid down the bodies of five babies, but insisted that they had all died of convulsions or dysentery—not of deliberate starvation. The original Little Buttercup walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and, after the rope had been adjusted, " uttered, in a calm and composed tone, what was described by those who heard it as a beautiful extempore prayer. She appeared to die instantaneously." March 24, 1873, was hanged at Durham, Mary Ann Cotton, the Bishop Auckland poisoner, who had done to death eighteen persons, husbands, step-children and lodgers. "With all this load of guilt upon her conscience she slept well, walked to the gallows with a firm step, and spent several minutes there in earnest prayer. The person that "funked" was the Under Sheriff, who had to be supported by two men, and fainted dead away when the drop fell. On the 29th of June, 1874, Frances Stewart was hanged for killing her grandson. On the 15th of August, Sehna Wedge, a woman of 28, was hanged at Bodmin for dropping one of her two illegitimate children into a well. A man had promised to marry her if she would dispose of one of them. She was " a very kind mother," and the jury recommended her to mercy, but in vain. On the 29th of May, 1879, Catherine Churchill, aged 54, was executed at Taunton. She had killed her husband with a bill-hook to prevent him from altering the will he had made in favor o their illegitimate son, and then burned the body, so that scarcely a trace of violence could be found about it. She firmly protested her innocence, and insisted that her life had been sworn away. Finally, on the 27th of July, Eate Webster was executed at Wads- worth for being unable to hold her tongue. Had she kept her own counsel ii would have been impossible to establish legally that it was she who had Mlled her mistress, Mrs. Thomas, at Eichmond, cut the body into pieces and thrown them into the Thames. Her ■Hie Iioss of am Ounce of ftraimo Little Rosalie Harris was shot in the head by John Beckett, who now lies in jail awaiting the result of her injuries. The ball was intended for her uncle, David Poindexter. It was fired from a thirty-two caliber revolver, and weighed half an ounce. The child was stooping when shot, and the bullet struck her on the top of the forehead, about an inch above the hair line. It made a long fracture in the skull, extending three inches back, where it entered the brain. The point where it struck the skull was crushed in and fractured, afterward coming out. From there to its resting-place the bone was depressed by the ball having passed over it. About an ounce of brain' and a large quantity of blood came out at the time of injury besides two pieces of bone, together the size of a silver half- dollar. Partial paralysis of, the left side set in at once and continued for a week, when the arm and leg were completely paralyzed. The meningeal artery was badly torn, as was also the dura mater or covering of the brain. The injury to the skull was what was known as a ""comminated fracture. As soon as the child's system was somewhat recovered from the shock Dr. A. A. Marsteller, who had charge of the case from the first, performed the delicate operation of raising up the three inches of depressed skull. This relieved the patient, who had before been suffering severely, and restored her mental faculties. Ice has been kept constantly to the child's head, and light but nourishing food administered. The total paralysis, which commenced about the sixteenth day, only lasted a week, and is now nearly gone. On the twelfth day a third piece of bone was extracted, about the size of a silver quarter.- The wound had been carefully strapped together with adhesive plaster, and now measures only about one inch in length. The bones also seem to be growing together, and the portion depressed by Ihe ball is now quite sound.

No mental effect of the loss of brain or injury to the skull can be traced by the girl's family. She appears as bright and lively as any child, and, although the paralysis has not quite left her limbs, she is about the' house nearly all the time.—Washing ton Post. (Roodl Advice. Do not call a man a liar unless you have a lump in your throat and are quite sure he is a liar. Much jewelry is vulgar. Do not smack while eating. Do not cut your nails in public. Do not run after famous people. Do not breathe hard while eating. Feeing waiters is paying blackmail. Serve vegetables on separate plates. Cheese should be eaten with a fork. Unsweetened coffee cures bad breath. A man's dress should not be remarkable. Do not give mere friends costly presents. Short nails make the finger tips grow broad. Girls who part their hair on the side look fast. In going up and down stairs precede the lady. A formal call is long if it last over half *an hour. Never take bits out of your mouth with your hands. There is too much promiscuous kissing in this country. A young lady should never stretch her feet out in company. Some men unpleasantly comb their mustaches at the table. A pink ribbon under the chin makes a pale woman look brighter. Always take the last piece of everything—there is supposed to be more. Candleso Very few persons who have not looked into the matter are aware how the manufacture of candles has dwindled, especially in the United States. There is very little left of it, the large houses that once carried on the trade having, for the most part, either retired or been forced into bankruptcy. Making candles used to be very profitable; many firms have grown rich thereby. But of late years the demand has fallen off everywhere, and is to-day rather lessening than increasing. Really, there is very little need of candles now. They have served their time; they belong to a fading, if not faded, epoch. Kerosene has been fully as adverse .as gas to candles, for kerosene goes and is used everywhere. From all the far-interior towns and frontier villages the once-familiar candle has disappeared, and kerosene has supplied its place. It is rare to see a candle anywhere in this country; a candle has grown to be a symbol of extreme conservatism.

H. Wells writes io the Chicago Tribune as follows: ■ "In preparing an article on Chicago, I had occasion recently to investigate the original signification and use of the word Chicago. We have had more than a score of lectures $,nd, historical sketches, in which the origin of this word has been given, with quotations from various authorities; but I found the discrepancies in these different statements so great that it was nol; easy to' decide on the real meaning of the original word without looking beyond them. After comparing the * various opinions, and many others, I wrote to Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, of Hartford, Ct., who is the highest authority in the country on all questions relating to the Indian tongues. His statement in regard to the etymological derivation of the word Chicago leaves no further question on that point. He writes as follows: "' The meaning of the name Chicago is not doubtful. "Ohicagou"—as the French wrote the name—signifies "The Skunk," and cannot be made to 'signify anything else. It has—with slight- modifications of local dialects—this- meaning in all Indian languages of that- region. " • "'As the name comes to us through- the French, the first syllable indicates the French pronunciation of the Indian- name. Dr. James, in a note to "Taii^ ner's Narrative," 1830, observes that the common Indian pronunciation is "Shig-gau-go," and with the locative inflection "Shiggaugo-ong, at Chicago." In the same dialect—Ohippeway-—James writes, "Shegahg," skunk; "Shiggauga- winje, onion, i. e., skunk-weed " Bishop Baraga, in his excellent "PtcMpweDic- tionary," has "Jikag."

" •* Ohicagou, as the French name for the river, may be traced back at least to • 1679. (See"Chicagofrom 1673to 1725," by Dr. J. G. Shea, in the Historical Magazine, v., 99-104.)

'*"""'] "°° "'I infer that the appellation of a chief qr brave—"The Skunk"—was transferred by the French to the river, and passed from the river to the locality when a French post was established there. "'The Rev. James Evans, a Wes- leyan missionary to the Chippeways and Creeks of Canada, and a master of both languages, in his " Chippeway Speller and Interpreter," printed in 1837, gives the same words (though in a different notation) for "skunk" and "onion, leek, skunkweed," that are given bj Edwin James and Baraga, and in a footnote to "Seguug"—[Zhegahg] a*skuhk— says: " From this the city of Chicago derives its name.'" From Dr. Trumbull's letter Mr. Wells draws the following conclusions: 1. The original meaning of the word Chicago is skunk. 2. In its uses it became a synonym of strong, mighty, great, etc. 3. It was applied to the skunk, to the wild onion, to a line of Indian chiefs, to the Mississippi river, and to thunder, or the voice of the Great Spirit. 4. The place was called Chicago from an Indian chief of that name, who, at some remote period, was drowned in the river on which Chicago is situated. Inherited Memory in Eirdso About twelve years ago I was residing on the coast of County Antrim, at the time the telegraph wires were set up along that charming road, which skirts the sea for twenty-five miles, between Larne and Cushendall. During the winter months large flocks of starlings always migrated over from Scotland, arriving in the early morning. The first winter after the wires were stretched along the coast, I frequently found numbers of starlings lying dead or wounded on the roadside, they having evidently in their flight in the dusky morn struck against the telegraph wires —not blown against them, as these accidents often occurred when there was but little wind. I found that the peasantry had come to the conclusion that these unusual deaths were due to the flash of the telegraph messages killing any starlings that happened to bs perched on the wires when working. Strange to say that throughout the following and succeeding winters hardly a death occurred among the starlings on their arrival. It would thus appear that the birds were deeply impressed and understood the cause of the fatal accidents among their fellow-travelers the previous year, and hence carefully avoided the telegraph wires; not only so, but the young birds must also have acquired this knowledge and perpetuated it, a Jmowledge which they could not have acquired by experience or even instinct, unless the instinct was really inherited memory derived from the parents whose brains were first impressed by it.—Nature.

I'm going to order some full length pre fletched carbon arrows. Once I get the rest and the draw length dialed I'll cut them to length. I have several ideas on how to cut them but thought that I would ask how others do it. I prefer to learn from others mistakes instead of my own.
I could wait to have it all done and then order cut to length arrows but that would be too easy!

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii's Big Island
This one-of-a-kind national park features two of the most active volcanoes in the world — Kilauea and Maunaloa — and some of the islands' most dramatic landscape views. When conditions are right, visitors can observe the Waikupanaha vent, where glowing-hot lava flows from Kilauea into the ocean.
Founded in 1916, the park encompasses 333,000 acres from the summit of Maunaloa to the sea. More than 150 miles of hiking trails take visitors through vastly changing landscapes — volcanic craters, scalded deserts, and rainforests — and offer magnificent views of two active volcanoes: Maunaloa, which last erupted in 1984 and Kilauea which has been erupting since January 3rd, 1983.
For a shorter visit, take Crater Rim Drive through deserts and rain forests to Halemaumau crater at Kilauea's summit. Along the way, stop and walk through Nähuku (Thurston Lava Tube) and don't miss the magnificent view from Kilauea Overlook.
If you have a day to spend, Chain of Craters Road offers 3,700-foot drive to where lava has overtaken the road. Hike over the lava fields toward the cliffs where you can sometimes watch molten lava flow into the sea. For a real treat, visit at dawn or dusk, when the views are most dramatic.

Catching waves on Oahu
Waves two stories tall crash down as seasoned surfers shoot from the tubes of water. It's a sight to see from the safety of the Waimea Bay sand, but it's not for beginners. Get inspired by the fearless surfers on Oahu's North Shore, then head to calmer seas for surf lessons.
Oahu has more than 150 surfing sites with options for adventurers of every skill level. Waikiki beaches, where swimming and surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku got his start, features smaller swells and plenty of opportunities to explore the sport of surfing. For some local flavor, a short trip to Kapahulu Avenue will reveal restaurants to satisfy any appetite.
The pros hit The North Shore between November and February, when swells can reach up to twenty feet or more. Waikiki offers those less daring surfers great waves all year round.
Whale watching on Maui
When visiting Hawaii in the winter months, you won't want to miss the humpback whales. Whether you choose a boat tour or prefer to watch from the shore, your best bet is the channel between Maui, Lanai, and Molokai, where conditions are calm and clear.
More than 3,500 humpbacks visit Maui each year between mid-December and May to frolic in the warm waters and birth their young.
If you choose to watch from the shore, McGregor Point along the Honoapiilani Highway in south Maui offers a scenic vantage point. Ask the locals and you're bound to get good suggestions for land-side whale watching.
If you prefer to take to the water for a closer look, the island has several charter companies that offer excursions that last from two hours to all day. For an added treat, find a boat equipped with hydrophones that allow you to hear the haunting song of these magnificent creatures.
Savoring a Cup of Kona on The Big Island
Want to experience a taste unique to Hawaii? 100% pure Kona coffee is grown exclusively in north and south Kona on The Big Island. Of the island's 11 climates, Kona has the rich volcanic soil, high elevation and constant cloud coverage that make the cultivation of this delicious and rare bean possible.
Many of the 600 or so coffee plantations offer tours, where visitors learn about the harvesting and processing of this commodity. Finish up the tour with an aromatic cup of the farm's crop.
But you don't have to visit the farm to enjoy a fresh cup of Kona coffee. Frommers' travel editors suggest finding a truly authentic experience at the Holuakoa Café, on Mamalahoa Highway (Hwy. 180) in Holualoa, where the owner roasts and grinds fresh beans from local farmers and brews up a delicious cup of this Hawaiian treasure.
Celebrate the Arts on Oahu
On the first Friday of every month, downtown Honolulu's Chinatown puts on a festival of arts. On First Fridays, galleries present exhibits, free entertainment and a chance to meet and mingle with local artists and artisans.
Enjoy live music, street entertainment and refreshments as you explore the arts in Honolulu. Shop for antiques or stop in at the Black Cat Tattoo Studio for a truly unique souvenir.
Stroll through the galleries from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. and then hit one of the many bars or restaurants to celebrate the arrival of the weekend with the after-work crowd.
Hula in Hilo on The Big Island
Though it may seem clich� when you first think of it, the story-telling hula is an integral part of Hawaii's history.
The ancient hula, or hula kahiko, features powerful movements set to chants and percussion. The modern hula, hula auana, is an informal and more interactive hula accompanied by song. Both are unique and beautiful expressions of Hawaiian culture.
Every Easter in Hilo, the Merrie Monarch Festival presents a week-long celebration of this traditional and moving art form. Ancient and modern styles are presented by local, national, and at times international hula schools that practice all year.
You don't have to visit Hawaii at Easter to experience the beauty of Hula. Festive luau shows can be found at many hotels all year, allowing you to experience the hula and learn more about Polynesian food and culture, too.
Festival of Food
On the first Saturday in July, Lanai City hosts the Lanai Pineapple Festival — an extravaganza of the luscious local fruit that celebrates the island's history. A pineapple-eating contest, a pineapple-cooking contest, entertainment, arts and crafts, food, and fireworks entertain locals and visitors alike.
In March, Oahu offers the annual Honolulu Festival. This festive cultural gathering is a three-day celebration of the diversity of Pacific and Asian people and culture. The festival provides visitors the opportunity to explore the foods and cultures of Hawaii's Pacific Rim neighbors. Festival events take place throughout the heart of Honolulu, culminating in a spectacular parade down Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki.
Any time of year, you can enjoy the Hilo Farmers Market on Hawaii's Big Island. The market opens at sunrise and the goods can sell out quickly. A couple of things to pick up while you're there: A sweet Indonesian fruit called rambutan, a bouquet of tropical flowers and a couple of tasty lunches of Hawaiian laulau (meat or fish steamed in ti leaves).
Spectacular Sunrises and Sunsets on any island
Beginning or ending your day in the splendor of Hawaii's unspoiled nature, is a quintessential part of a perfect Hawaiian vacation.
Though a glorious sunrise or sunset can be incorporated into most of your vacation activities, you can also make it a special point to focus on the beauty of the islands.
On Maui, visitors and locals alike rise well before the sun to drive to Haleakala Crater for an unforgettable sunrise. As if the spectacular view weren't enough, you can make a day of it and explore Haleakala's varied landscapes and majestic vistas. Many of the majestic views can be reached by car, bike or foot.
On Molokai's west-end, Papohaku and Kapukahelu (also known as Dixie Maru) beaches can reward visitors with a green flash just before the sun sets. This rare phenomenon only occurs in precise conditions, and Molokai's got the right mix. But even if you don't catch the coveted green flash, a beach sunset can be a sweet setting for a family evening or the beginning of a romantic night.
Explore Pearl Harbor History on Oahu
You don't have to be a history buff to appreciate standing on the deck of the USS Arizona Memorial above the site of the sunken battleship destroyed in the Pearl Harbor attack that ushered the U.S. into World War II. Though a solemn site, the memorial offers a view into not just the history of Hawaii, but world history.
Pearl Harbor, named for the pearl oysters that once were harvested there, offers a variety of military memorials and museums, including the Pacific Aviation Museum, the USS Oklahoma Memorial, the Battleship Missouri Memorial and the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park.
To continue on your historical journey, consider heading to Diamond Head (Leahi) for panoramic views. Hike to the top and you'll be able to see the remains of defense bunkers built between 1910 and 1943.

Small Business Resource Fair set for May 15 in Concord
CONCORD — Small business owners, start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs will have a chance to connect with dozens of local and state business assistance providers at the Small Business Resource Fair on Wednesday, May 15, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cabarrus Government Center, 65 Church St., in Concord.
The free mid-day event, in celebration of Small Business Week, includes lunch, and brings to one location business assistance representatives and government agencies to answer questions and distribute information about what business owners and prospective owners need to start, grow and succeed.
"Since most small business owners and potential owners are unaware of all the free resources available to them, the fair will make it convenient to gather as much business information as possible in one day," said Barbara Hall, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Small Business Center director, one of the organizers.
Several short presentations around the fair's theme, "Refining Your Edge," will highlight the event. Joe Recomendes with the Charlotte-based marketing firm Command Partners will discuss crowdfunding, the popular trend that has already raised billions of dollars for startups alone.
Marilyn Carpenter, director of venture development with Ventureprise, Inc. along with Fran Koster, author of "Discovering the New America," will present strategies for small businesses to compete, grow and survive.
The fair is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is being organized by the Business Resource Roundtable, a group of local business assistance providers that meets regularly to address issues pertaining to the success of area businesses.
Members participating in the fair include the Rowan-Cabarrus Small Business Center, Cabarrus EDC, city of Kannapolis, Cabarrus Council for a Sustainable Local Economy, Small Business & Technology Development Center, SCORE, Centralina Workforce Development Board, Charlotte Research Institute and Self-Help.
