I am 13, I have been surfing for 2 years. I havent went out since summer, I was wondering were its safe for me to surf by myself. Someone please help me out, thanks!
I would recommend you go to the common spots where there are always other surfers. So, if you did have trouble in the water, there will be someone to help you out. So ask around to find out where these spots are in your area.
As for beginners tho, if you are surfing at one of the better breaks, its always a good idea to go down the beach a bit from the main peak.
Always surf with someone. I am in my 20s and can count the number of times I've surfed alone on my two hands. Surfing is a great experience to enjoy with friend. There are however, times when surfing is a great meditation. If you go alone, even if you are around people, make sure you can handle the surf you are about to enter. Even though there may be 20 people in the water, they aren't watching to see if you make it back out. If your friend goes missing in the lineup for 5 minutes you'll notice. If the guy sitting next to you in the lineup is gone for 5 minutes, you'll probably just think he went in for a break, which may not be the case.
I once did the stupidest thing and surfed during a storm by myself with only a few people in the water down the way. It only takes one toss to hurt yourself.
When I was out with my friend one time during a storm there was another kid in the water when we came in. On the beach, his mom was following him as he was drifting super quick with the current. She looks at us and goes, "Is he still out there?" Unbelievable. Even if something were to happen to him, what was she going to do, call someone and tell them her son is missing.
So, after all that, what I am trying to say is that no matter how many people are on the beach or in the water, it is always better to go with someone who is surfing as well. If that is not an option, know your limits.
The end.
Thank you for helping me out, I really want to go out when the swell is big. But I do not have a friend that I could surf with. Is it nice to go up to any surfer and ask if they want to surf with me??
I was out by myself once in hurricane surf. There were two other guys on the same beach. When I had my back turned to them after taking a wave, one of them ran into me with his longboard. His board hit the back of my head and knocked me under the water. When I came up I looked down and I could see blood in the water. I scrambled to get out of the water. He didn't ask me if I was ok, appologize, or get out of the water to check. Luckily I found someone on the beach to call an ambulance with their cell phone. I needed 12 staples. Moral of the story is don't trust that the other random kooks in the water are gonna watch out for you. Pick a beach. Go there every time and make friends with the locals. Show them respect and be friendly. Start out by saying hi to them. Then after they see you a few times strike up some conversations and introduce yourself. Eventually you'll be local and then they will watch out for you. Just don't make a habit of surfing by yourself. It's not safe.
I agree that surfing alone is not necessarily the best idea but I personally do it all the time. Not many of my friends got into surfing when I did so for me its always been about my own experience with and less based on what others are doing. Though surfing at the surf beach is always an exercise in competitive surfing. You're still young, like the previous posts said, always know your limits. It does only take one wave to take you out but it only takes one overhead barrel to make your year. Just be careful.
RDJ i was the one who called the ambulance for you that day i just got out of the water to help my friend who also hurt himself minute before you got hit by the board
haha yeahh anytime and that kid who i was with hurt his knee real bad he tore his misicis i cant spell and i rember that guy off brooklyen but i had no idea who he is, really nice guy tho.oh and yeah i am prob going to be going out this weekend probitly friday after noon and saturday see you out there
yeah that wasnt a fun day on for either of us your kinda lucky b/c your injury was short term mine sucks but i'll be out there til this thing gives out again

JAGGER SAYS ROLLING STONES TO PERFORM Mick Jagger says the reason his band The Rolling Stones aren't performing at either the opening or closing ceremonies at the London Olympics, (July 27-Aug. 12), is because the band is still too rusty to play live after a five-year layoff, according to an interview he gave to the U.K.'s Independent Television News (ITN). The band had been jamming and rehearsing in a New Jersey recording studio, but they felt that it hadn't been sufficient for them to be ready for such a prestigious gig as the Olympics.
"We haven't played a gig in a long time and we weren't really stage-ready, and it's a very big gig," Jagger said. The future is a different story. "We hope we're going to do some gigs this year. We've done rehearsing, hanging out together and all that, discussing, so you know we've been seeing each other quite a lot."
To mark the group's 50 th anniversary next year, it's speculated that the band will perform multi-concert residencies in several cities, probably including London, New York and L.A.
FLEETWOOD MAC TO REUNITE NEXT YEAR Fleetwood Mac will reunite next year for their first tour since 2009, singer Stevie Nicks told "CBS This Morning." She didn't mention whether the group she and her then-boyfriend singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham joined in 1975, eight years after the band formed in London, would record a new album.
Nicks is currently touring the U.S. with Rod Stewart, while Buckingham is on his own solo tour of America.
Founder-drummer Mick Fleetwood just finished touring Europe as part of "The Legends of Rock," along with former Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer, former Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, Asia singer-bassist John Wetton; former Yes singer Jon Anderson and members of Supertramp and Barclay James Harvest.
GARTH BROOKS TO TOUR? Garth Brooks, who has sold more albums in the U.S. during the past 21 years than anyone, including The Beatles and Michael Jackson, announced his retirement from touring 12 years ago. It looks as though that will change in 2014, according to what he told the Vancouver Sun.
Brooks, who has performed in recent years almost exclusively at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas as part of a five-year residency, wanted to devote his time to raising his kids with his country star wife, Trisha Yearwood.
He wanted to wait until the youngest graduates from high school. That will occur in 2014. "I'd love to tour again with Miss Yearwood and have no guilt. But I'm still two years away."
POWER PLUG PULLED ON MCCARTNEY & SPRINGSTEEN When Paul McCartney unceremoniously strolled onstage to join mega-fan Bruce Springsteen for their first-ever joint performance at the end of The E Street Band's three-hour headlining gig at the Hard Rock Calling fest before an overflow crowd of 80,000 in London's Hyde Park, an overwhelmed Springsteen enthused that he'd waited 50 years for this moment, reports the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
Unfortunately, things didn't end happily. Promoter Live Nation ordered the power cut immediately after the duo and The E Streeters ripped through the early Beatles rockers, "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout," a song on which John Lennon shredded his voice in the Fab Four's 1963 version of The Isley Brothers' 1962 hit.
Springsteen began addressing the crowd and it appeared as though he, Sir Paul and the band were discussing whether they'd perform another song, when it was obvious that the power had been cut, ending the concert that ran approximately 10 minutes past the 10:30 curfew.
London Mayor Boris Johnson attended the concert and said that, had he been consulted, he'd have given permission for the concert to continue.
Another attendee, British comedian Stephen Merchant tweeted, "Ashamed to be British right now." English journalist Richard James wrote, "Only in Britain could a local council pull the plug on the greatest of the last 50 years giving it their all." The Daily Mail chimed in, saying the incident "has turned London into an international laughing stock just weeks before the 2012 Olympics."
In other Springsteen news, the New Jersey native has agreed to become the MusiCares 2013 Person of the Year. The awards dinner and concert will take place next Feb. 8 in Los Angeles, two days before the Grammy Awards.
MusiCares is the official non-profit organization of the Grammys. This year's Person of the Year was the man with whom Springsteen just shared the stage, Paul McCartney.
ROBERT PLANT AND PATTY GRIFFIN MARRY It has been rumored for some time that former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant and country singer Patty Griffin, who perform together in Plant's Band of Joy, had something going on. This week, Plant finally confirmed the rumor: he and Griffin were married last year. "I eloped and ran off to Texas, so now I spend half my time there and half my time here (London)," he told Britain's Independent. It's the second marriage for both.
The 63-year-old Plant added that he and 48-year-old Griffin live "in an old crack house," in Austin, that is riddled with termites. "I tap my hand on the table and they fly out the walls like something from a Disney film."
ARETHA WANTS TO REPLACE STEVEN TYLER OR JLO The Queen of Soul, 18-time Grammy winner Aretha Franklin, says she wants to be a judge on Fox's "American Idol." There are two vacancies to fill after Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez both announced that they will not be returning for the show's 12 th season.
The 70-year-old legend emailed CNN saying that not only is she a longtime fan of the show but she wants to fill the other judgeship by bringing her friend Patti LaBelle with her. Fox has thus far not commented.
Regarding Tyler's exit, it's been speculated that his bandmates were upset that he spent so much of the past two years on the show, so they gave him an ultimatum, the show or the band. In his statement, Tyler said, "I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back."
BRITAIN'S FAVORITE NO. 1 SINGLE Queen's epic 1975 operatic rock classic, "Bohemian Rhapsody," has been voted The Nation's Favorite No. 1 Single, according to the ITV TV series of the same name. The competition began with 60 songs dating to 1952 that made it to the top of the Brit chart. Queen's song stayed on top of the chart for nine weeks, the longest tenure there of any song since Paul Anka's "Diana" in 1957. After the quartet's singer Freddie Mercury died in November 1991, the song was again released as a single and it once again made it to No. 1.
Other songs in the Top 10 include Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" at No. 2; The Beatles' "Hey Jude" at No. 5; John Lennon's "Imagine" at No. 6; ABBA's "Dancing Queen" at No. 8, and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" at No. 9.
JOHNNY CASH MUSIC FEST The first Johnny Cash Music Festival was held last year. It will be broadcast July 26-28 on the RFD and GAC country music cable channels and on PBS throughout the summer, according to the Boot. The festival featured Rosanne Cash, George Jones, Rodney Crowell, Kris Kristofferson, Gary Morris and John Carter Cash. A DVD and CD go on sale July 31. The second fest will be staged Oct. 5 in Jonesboro, Ark. and will star Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Dierks Bentley and The Civil Wars. All proceeds benefit the Johnny Cash Childhood Home Project that is restoring the Man In Black's boyhood house.
ROY ROGERS RANCH SOLD The 67-acre California ranch just outside the Mojave Desert town of Victorville, that was home to the King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers and his wife Dale Evans, has been sold for $645,000, reports the Victorville Daily Press. The Double R Ranch includes a modest 1,700-square-foot house, a red barn, fenced-in pastures, a 15-stall stable, and a half-mile horse track for workouts. Roy and Dale's museum was also located in Victorville until it moved to Branson, Mo. in 2003. The museum closed in 2010 and its memorabilia, including Roy's stuffed horse, Trigger, and dog, Bullet, was auctioned off. Roy Rogers died in Apple Valley, just southeast of Victorville, in 1998 at 86. His wife of 50 years passed away there in 2001 at age 88.
HANK WILLIAMS, JR. SAYS THE PRESIDENT HATES AMERICA Last year, Hank Williams, Jr., compared President Obama to Adolph Hitler, saying that Obama playing golf with Speaker of the House John Boehner was like, "Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu." That one cost him a job singing the theme to "Monday Night Football" on ESPN. Now he tells Rolling Stone that the president hates America.
"I mean, the guy is the worst. Giveaway programs; hates America in the first place, forget about the flag. (Begins imitating President Obama) 'That's one of those big, rich fat cats that makes $35,000 a year,' you know what I mean?"
He was then asked to explain why he believes the president hates America.
"Oh, you know, I don't know. I don't know about that but it's kind of obvious. I guess when you take a tour, a world tour, to apologize for America. He did that, you know."
ELTON'S REGRETS AND WHY COMING OUT TOOK SO LONG Elton John says, "I wasted such a big part of my life." He was interviewed by "Today" show host Matt Lauer to discuss his just released memoir, "Love is the Cure: On Life, Loss and the End of AIDS." Proceeds from this personal reflection on his life benefit his Elton John AIDS Foundation.
The man who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1998 for "services to music and charitable services," said of AIDS, "This epidemic was beginning to happen in the early 1980 s, and I was a drug addict and self-absorbed.
I was having people die right, left and center around me, friends - and yet, I didn't stop the life that I had, which is the terrible thing about addiction."
He notes that he felt invincible when he combined his drinking and drug-taking, saying "You think you're invincible." "I was consumed by cocaine, booze, and who knows what else. I'm making up for it. There is much more to be done." He added, "I came out of this HIV-negative. I was the luckiest man in the world."
When asked why he waited so long to come out and admit that he was gay, John, who was living an openly gay life to his friends and family, but not in public, told Lauer, "Nobody asked me." It wasn't until a Rolling Stone writer said to him, "I'm going to ask you a question, but if you don't want to answer it, I'm going to turn off the tape recorder." John said, "You're going to ask me if I'm gay or not. He said, 'How did you know that?' I said, 'I've been waiting for people to ask me this. It's not exactly a secret. I live with my manager. I'm openly gay outside. I don't have a girlfriend. I just thought it was common knowledge."'
In the late '60 s, John was engaged to his first lover, Linda Woodrow, and was married to Renata Blauel from 1984-1988, when he came out via the Rolling Stone interview. He began his relationship with David Furnish in 1993. They were married in a civil partnership in 2005.
FUNK BROTHERS BASSIST BOB BABBITT DIES Bassist Bob Babbitt of Motown's legendary Funk Brother sessions band that played on records by virtually every act on the Detroit record label, died in Nashville at 74, a year-and-a-half after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.
Among the hits whose bass lines belonged to Babbett include The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion," Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours," Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown," Gladys Knight and The Pips' "Midnight Train to Georgia" and Rare Earth's rocking take on The Temptations biggie, "(I Know) I'm Losing You." He left Motown in 1972 and recorded with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bette Midler and Bonnie Raitt.
DEEP PURPLE KEYBOARDIST JON LORD DIES Jon Lord was one of a handful of British keyboardists such as Keith Emerson of The Nice and ELP, Yes' Rick Wakeman, The Zombies and Argent's Rod Argent and Brian Auger, who achieved legendary status in the mid and late-'60 s by blending musical styles such as classical, jazz and blues with hard rock.
The keyboard wizard for Deep Purple died in London at 71 after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer, according to Reuters.
Lord founded Deep Purple in Hertford in 1968. His keyboard work was integral to the hard rock band's sound on hits such as the iconic "Smoke on the Water," as well as their first two hits, takes on Joe South's "Hush" and Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman," both in 1968. Later Purple hits were often dominated by Lord's contributions, including power rockers "Lazy," "Woman from Tokyo," "Highway Star" and later hits like 1985's "Perfect Strangers" and "Knocking at Your Back Door."
He also composed the first written and recorded music for a rock band and orchestra, Deep Purple's "Concerto for Group and Orchestra," that was recorded live in September 1969 at London's Royal Albert Hall with conductor Sir Malcolm Arnold and The Royal Philharmonic. The album was released in December of that year.
Lord served two stints with Deep Purple, from 1968-1976, and then from 1984-2002. He was a member of former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale's hard rock outfit Whitesnake from 1976 until he rejoined Deep Purple in 1984, recording that band's first version of their hit, "Here I Go Again" (the song was re-recorded in 1987 without Lord and went to No. 1). He continued to record with friends such as Purple singer Ian Gillan and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi until his death.
KITTY WELLS, THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC DIES Kitty Wells, known as the Queen of country music, died at her Nashville home of complications from a stroke at 92, according to the Washington Post. In 1952, she became the first female country singer to have a single hit No. 1 on the country chart, with "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels."
Her final hit was in 1968. In the '50 s and '60 s, she recorded 24 Top 10 country singles, and charted 81 singles. On her 1975 blues-influenced Southern Rock album, "Forever Young," she was backed by members of The Allman Brothers. It was her final studio album. In 2002, she was ranked No. 15 on CMT's 40 Greatest Women of Country Music. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976 and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys.
MEMORIES OF DAD, RICK NELSON Matthew Nelson, who performs a tribute show to his father, Rick Nelson, with his brother, Gunnar, told Pollstar about life at home in the '60 s.
"When we were growing up in the late '60 s in the Hollywood Hills, it was very normal to see all kinds of people around the house. A lot of hippie freaks.
We didn't know those hippie freaks were really famous. Bob Dylan would hang around the house, trying to get our dad to write songs. George Harrison lived next door. We called him 'Uncle George.' Had no idea who he was. He was hanging out in the pool room and listening to records with my dad. Cass Elliot used to babysit us."
He tells of opening for Styx and Peter Frampton. "Tommy Shaw from Styx said, 'Hey, man, can I come up and sing 'Garden Party' with you? Can we do one of your tunes?' We had no plan of doing that, but (Tommy) is one of our heroes. I'm not going to say no to singing with Tommy Shaw. We did it and it was magnificent."
WORKING WITH PETULA CLARK Irish rockers The Saw Doctors formed in Galway in 1986. In their native land they are big, having scored a ton of hits and receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 from the Ireland Music Awards.
Last December, the band released a version of Petula Clark's No. 1 hit from 1964, "Downtown," that peaked at No. 2 on the Irish singles chart.
What made the record special was that Clark herself, who had just turned 79, sang on the record (you can see and hear it on YouTube).
Lead guitarist Leo Moran told Pollstar what it was like. "We booked a studio in London and did a whole lot of work the first day. She came in the second evening and we discovered that the song was in the wrong key. So, we had to scrap all of the first day's work and put down a backing track with Petula because she only had a few hours that evening and wasn't able to come back the following day. It was exciting, exhilarating, scary and privileged. all rolled into one."
Asked what it was like to work with such a superstar he said, "She was brilliant. She's such a professional. She probably has been since she was born. Once she goes near a microphone or a camera you can see the star quality immediately. She's magic."
While "Downtown" was Clark's first American hit, it was hardly her first hit record. She began her recording career in England in 1949 and, in 1954, her single, "The Little Shoemaker" hit No. 7 there and No. 1 in Australia.

MADONNA, ONSTAGE AND IN COURT It appears that Madonna may be in court, as well as onstage. She has been sued by VMG, who claims she used unauthorized samples of a 1977 composition called "Love Break" in her 1990 hit, "Vogue,' reports E! Online.
Meanwhile, France's radical right political party, the National Front, announced that they are going to sue Madonna, claiming "public insult" for showing a photo on her Paris concert stage's giant screen of the party's leader Marine Le Pen, with a Nazi swastika on her forehead, reports the Associated Press. The controversial party was founded in 1972 by Le Pen's father and has been accused over the years of being anti-Semitic.
Madonna has embraced the Jewish philosophy and teachings of Kabbalah in recent years. During the concert, she also flashed her breast and butt, again.
WANDA JACKSON BACK IN THE STUDIO Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly, is back in the studio. Her 31 st studio album, "Unfinished Business," will be released Oct. 9, a week-and-a-half before she turns 75.

The album features her takes on Woody Guthrie's "California Stars," Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now" and the blues rocker, "I'm Tore Down," that was big for Freddie King.
RUDY SARZO LEAVES BLUE OYSTER CULT Rudy Sarzo, one-time bassist for Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake, has amicably left Blue Oyster Cult after a five-year stint in the band, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. Sarzo left due to his busy schedule working on other projects. He was replaced by Kasim Sulton, who was a longtime member of Todd Rundgren's prog-rock band, Utopia.
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing:
Singer-harmonica player John Mayall is called the Father of British Blues.
The legends that played in his blues-rock band, The Bluesbreakers, are almost unfathomable. Eric Clapton quit The Yardbirds to join his band. Clapton's future Cream-mate, singer-bassist Jack Bruce was a Bluesbreaker.
Others include future Fleetwood Mac members Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Guitarist Mick Taylor was Mayall's 20-year-old hotshot guitarist when he was selected to replace Brian Jones in The Rolling Stones.
There are many others.
Mayall and his outfit notched a slew of Top 40 albums in the U.K. but none here, although his song "Room to Move" received considerable airplay during the early years of FM radio in the late '60 s and early '70 s.
At age 79, Mayall is not only still out on the road with his Bluesbreakers, he's one of the busiest performers around.

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
As the seventh commemoration of September 11, 2001 approaches we would like to make our members aware of events and ceremonies which will take place around the nation to honor and pay tribute to the victims and to those who selflessly helped in the rescue and recovery efforts. Commemorations provide an opportunity for remembering, honoring, grieving, giving and receiving support. As past years tell us, people have very different ways of commemorating the day. Some people will choose to go to one of the sites or events, others will spend time with friends and family, and still others may stay away from the events and media coverage. FOS11 encourages you to consider your own needs and self care when making this decision. To let you know what kind of events are taking place, FOS11 maintains a list marking commemoration events around the country. Please click here to find events that you may be interested in participating.
At this time, we also extend our thoughts to the many families impacted by Hurricane Gustav. We remember the thousands still struggling to rebuild, and hope for healing and peace in their lives.

It's normal to have all kinds of conflicting feelings this time of year -- 'tis the season. In case you were wondering, none of us can sustain that level of heartfelt awe in the Folgers coffee commercials or seasonal Hallmark movies. Now that you have a reality check, consider a few of these tips gleaned from personal experience and the websites of the Mayo Clinic (www.mayoclinic.com) and Psych Central (www.psychcentral.com):Prepare ahead for family/friend interactionsWrite down and rehearse a plan of action to cope with any negative triggers that may come up. Family systems tend to repeat patterns of behavior, often in an unconscious manner. Rather than allowing someone to push your buttons, think of some ways to respond that defuse the situation and/or help you stay true to your own boundaries. And resist the urge to push any other buttons!Change the patternsSometimes we get so ingrained in situations it's hard to see how things could change. And just the anticipation of coming events can be enough to throw us into a tailspin. If you truly want to change patterns about holiday meal preparations and cleanup sessions, start now to plant the seeds. Make alternative suggestions -- rotate the cleanup crews, for example.Over time, lots of resentment can be built up when the same family members are expected to clear the table and do the dishes while others retire to the family room to relax. If this is striking a nerve, take time to think through an alternative plan and communicate it in advance in the best way for your family members to understand -- a phone call, an email, etc. You could even fashion a suggested schedule that has a lineup of particular families or groups the task by age. As you're preparing the meal and sitting down to eat, you could issue a gentle reminder: "Let us give thanks to the Smith gang for tonight's cleanup." Or, "Thanks to our cleanup crew of teenagers tonight." Make your own decisions about participatingAt times it's easier to go through the motions to keep the traditions -- and the peace. If you find this is wearing thin on your sanity, though, you could opt out of certain activities or lessen your involvement.Just because "It's always been done this way" doesn't mean it has to continue. And this goes for decorating, baking, sending out holiday cards and just about any other activity where it's just assumed you'll be there and come through for everyone. Ben Franklin had it right: "Everything in moderation." Or, as my friend Pam says, "Lower your standards."It may not be as hard as you think. Here are a few of my favorite phrases to try out: "That just won't work for me this time." (You'd be amazed at how thorough this one sentence can be. Most times, we tend to overexplain.) "Here's an option I'd like to try this year." "Let's look at a different schedule." Realize others may have stressDon't take rudeness or irritability too personally. Most of us are juggling more than usual this time of year -- responsibilities and emotions.Stuff the turkey, not your feelingsIt's perfectly natural to feel a roller coaster of emotions at this heightened time of reflection. If you have strong feelings of nostalgia or sadness, reach out to someone you trust to talk about your feelings.Practice random acts of kindnessGiving is receiving. There's nothing like helping someone else out, especially during this season, that can help you take your mind off your own problems. Do a little favor for an elderly neighbor. Take time to call a friend you haven't spoken with in a while. At the tollbooth, pay for the car behind you. Or pay ahead at the fast-food drive-through window. Ask them to apply a dollar to the order of the car behind you. Pop some change into an expired parking meter.You might be saying, "But they'll never know who helped them out." That's precisely the point. It's not about getting credit. It's about the pure intention of giving.Several years ago I was contemplating the purchase of a fuzzy white teddy bear in a store. I decided to get it. On the way out, I overhead a clerk talking about how she wanted to get that same bear for her daughter, but didn't feel like she could spend the money at that time. Something deep inside me urged me to turn around and go back into the store. I ended up purchasing another teddy bear and asked the cashier in that department to take it over to the other employee and tell her it was from Santa. I hid behind some store dividers to see her expression -- and left the store with such a warm feeling.She never knew the gift was from me. And it didn't matter. I just knew I was doing a little something to put a smile on her face and to brighten her daughter's holidays. To this day, I never pick up that fuzzy white teddy bear in our spare bedroom -- whatever the time of year -- without recalling that incident.And that's priceless!Linda Arnold, M.A., MBA, is a certified wellness instructor, counselor and chairwoman/CEO of The Arnold Agency, a marketing communications firm with offices in West Virginia, Montana and Washington, D.C.

Pefect for the Mantle.
By jmmygirl
from Kentucky
Best Uses
We purchased this garland for our living room mantle. We don't have outlets near the mantle so, I had been shopping for cordless one. I was a little hesitant to order online, as often the pictures are not great representations of the actual product. However, this was prettier than I expected and the cordless timer works perfectly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

South Korea Says North Korea Dumped $1.3B USD Into Missile Launch
Jason Mick
December 12, 2012 4:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: [North Korean Propaganda Poster])
That would be enough to buy 4.6 million tons of corn
North Korea's missile launch
succeeded in putting a satellite in orbit
(perhaps thanks to some Iranian expertise) this morning. But at what cost did the successful launch come?
I. Money Could Have Ended Famine, Claims South Korea
According to
South Korean officials in the Ministry of Unification, the launch and a failed attempt in April directly cost $600M USD (mostly for the rocket and engineering expertise), the launch site costs $400M USD, and additional $300M USD was spent on related facilities. That adds up to a total of a cool $1.3B USD -- a massive sum for the poverty stricken nation.
To put this in context, South Korea says that would have bought 4.6 million tons of corn for the nation, where a third of citizens are estimated to be malnourished. That would be enough corn, it says, to feed the people in the north for four to five years.
North Korea is home to an estimated 24 million people,
according to
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA). Average household income in North Korea is less than $1,900 USD a year, among the lowest incomes in the world.

There is some debate about the true cost due to potential deals between Iran and North Korea, in which North Korea agreed to act as the Middle Eastern nation's weapons test bed (and thus may have received better rates on parts and engineering expertise).
Further questions on the price figure come in due to the fact that North Korean engineers are known to make much less than their foreign peers, but the exact rate is a topic of current reserach and debate. North Korea is very hostile, isolated, and secretive to its neighbors (other than China) and the U.S., so it is difficult for foreign observers to get accurate numbers to describe its economy.
II. North Korea -- Proud or Used?
Despite its anti-U.S. propoganda North Korea has expressed of late a desire to be recognized by the U.S. and given aid. A food deal was in the works, but fell through when North Korea broke promises and launched its failed missile test in April.
The big winner in the missile test may be Iran who is unlikely to face sanctions for its supposed involvement, and appears to have offloaded some of the costs of its weaponization efforts on a far poorer ally. Average income in Iran,
according to
the CIA, is $13,200, meaning a single Iranian on average earns as much as nearly seven North Koreans (the average income in the U.S. $48,300 USD, roughly 3.7 times Iran's per capita income, and 25.4 times as much as North Korea's per capita income).
An Iranian Revolutionary Guard test launch of missiles is shown here dating back to 2006. The launch was carried out in the city of Qom, a holy city in the Islamist movement.
[Image Source: AFP]
Iran had
allegedly approached Russia in 2009
with a satellite launch request, but was rebuffed. Since it has focused on its own internal rocket efforts for commercial and military purposes. The White House and CIA have expressed in recent years the belief that Iran is eager to
develop intercontinental ballistic missiles
, which could be used to threaten the mainland U.S. and its Middle Eastern ally Israel.
Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh in recent statements denied it was targeting the U.S., but confirmed it was refining designs to fire at Israel, stating, "Israel is our longest-range target."
North Korea contends that regardless of the cost, it is worth it to develop both peaceful space projects and nuclear weapons, which it
says it needs to "defend itself"
against the U.S.
According to a recent public radio report North Korea's rhetoric has shifted since Kim Jung-un assumed power, taking the fresh stance that failure is (sometimes) acceptable, because as some observers put it, the leader says great nations often fail. For instance, North Korea in the past only broadcast Olympic events where its team or athletes won the particular match. This time around, they broadcast the whole event and welcomed home the athletes -- even the losers -- as national heroes (traditionally losers were sent to work camps).
Indeed many expected this unfamiliar new breed of mea culpas from the Asian regime to arrive this week when the rocket launched, given the delays due to technical difficulties. But instead North Korea surprised observers and succeeded, shifting the question to a new one -- whether the cost of success was worth it.
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone." -- Steve Jobs

January 2011
Wow, what a year! The year 2010 has come and gone, but in a number of ways it will have lasting effects.
It was a year ago this month that Haiti was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. This catastrophic earthquake hit 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, the country's capital. The earthquake was the worst one they had had in 200 years. Then, the flooding that hit the city not too long ago has made rebuilding a difficult task for Haiti.
Another city that is familiar with rebuilding after nature hits is New Orleans. They rebuilt their city and their faith in football. Last year the New Orleans Saints won their first Super Bowl in the club's history. The Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. Drew Brees was named most valuable player of the game. I think New Orleans is still celebrating!
While we're on the subject of sports, we can't leave out the Women's NCAA Basketball Championship, The Masters Golf Tournament and most recent, the 2010 World Series.
It was no surprise that the University of Connecticut women's basketball team was in the NCAA Championship game. What was impressive was their undefeated record. After winning the game, against Stanford University, UConn was 78-0 and was unbeatable two seasons in a row.
In 2010 Phil Mickelson won The Masters Golf Tournament, his third Masters win, with a 16 under par for a total score of 272. He is only the fifth golfer to win the Masters three times.
And most recently, we can't forget the Texas Rangers playing in the 2010 World Series against the San Francisco Giants. Although it did not turn out the way we would have liked, it was still an amazing ride.
A few other things in 2010 didn't quite turn out the way some of us wanted them too either. For example, the House of Representatives approved the new Health-Care Bill and it eventually went to President Obama for his signature. The final vote was 219-212.
Then we had the British Petroleum oil well spill. The explosion on the BP oil drilling rig off the coast of Louisiana killed 11 people and injured 17, and the well gone wild began spewing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Thankfully, the company eventually was able to get the out of control well to stop leaking.
To top it off, poverty rates hit a 15 year high in September. The percentage of Americans living below the poverty line was at 14.3. It was called the worst economic period since the Great Depression.
It was on October 12, 2010 when the first of the 33 trapped Chilean coal miners were rescued. The trapped miners spent 68 days trapped in a mine half a mile underground. Thanks to the rescue operation all miners were pulled to safety via a capsule specifically made for this rescue.
For those of us that like to read we had a great book year. Judy Lockhart DiGregorio made me laugh again in her "Memories of a Loose Woman." Her storytelling of her years past reminds us its okay to laugh at ourselves.
Former First Lady Laura Bush tells her story in "Spoken from the Heart." I haven't finished the book yet, but so far so good. It's like we are just sitting there carrying on a conversation. Love it.
Of course I have to include the love story books by Nicholas Sparks. "Dear John" and "The Last Song" are my two favorite books for 2010. Yes, these books were also made into a movie last year, along with some other great films of 2010.
Other enjoyable films for 2010 included "Alice in Wonderland," "Shrek 4," "Karate Kid," "Iron Man 2," "Prince of Persia," "Avatar," "Despicable Me," "Eat Pray Love," "Tangled," "Narnia 3," "Rabbit Hole," "Little Fockers" and a whole lot more. It was a great time for family and friends at the theater.
I don't think 2010 would be complete if I didn't mention Time Magazine's Person of the Year, Mark Zuckerburg. Mark is the CEO of the world's largest social networking site. We all know it as fb (Facebook). Checking status, changing status, clicking the "like" button and leaving comments consume too much of our daily lives. We've come a long way since email.
Well I have reminded you of some of the worldly highlights from 2010, but my most memorable moments of last year are not the ones in the news. I remember in February when my niece got sick and I watched God work miracle after miracle on her little body. I watch God work through men, women and children during that time. I felt God's amazing love, mercy and grace.
I was blessed to watch our daughter trust the Lord with her life and accept Him as Lord and Savior. I have seen another family member baptized and by the time this article comes out, another one will be baptized too.
Our church, Harris Avenue Baptist Church, and its members served our community recently with a feast of food, gifts and love. Over 82 families walked through our doors that day. These are my eternal highlights of 2010.
I may not have ever won a Super Bowl game or a Masters Golf Tournament but I have experienced victory. I have never been in an earthquake or been trapped underground, but sometimes I feel like my world is shaking and I'm drowning. Whether I'm on Cloud Nine or in the depths of the valley, I reflect back to years past and remind myself of where (God delivered me and where He is leading me) I've been, where I am, and where I'm going.
Wishing you all a very blessed New Year!

text: Two weeks left in the Regular Season and it's looking like the Yanks and the O's. Honestly, I figured it would be the Rays instead of Baltimore but hey, Baseball is funny that way. Half game lead in favor of the Yankees as of yesterday. If I look at both teams remaining schedules, I think that it favors the O's. Baltimore's remaining schedule looks like this: @ Boston (68-82) 3 gms Blue Jays (66-81) 4 gms Boston (68-82) 3 gms @Tampa (79-70) 3 gms Yankees remaining schedule looks like this: Blue Jays (66-81) 1 gm A's (84-64) 3 gms @Twins (62-87) 3 gms @Blue Jays (66-81) 4 gms Boston (68-82) 3 gms Both teams have only one team on the schedule with a winning record (Yankees vs A's and BoSox vs Rays). The combined winning percentage of the O's remaining schedule is .471 while the Yankees remaining schedule has a winning percentage of .467. Slight edge to the O's but no real difference there. To me, the determining factor is that the Yankees have a 3 game home stand with the A's, followed by an 8 game road trip and they finish up against the BoSox who always play the Yankees tough. Figure that the season will likely come down to those last three games and the Sox could salvage their season by preventing the Yankees from winning the AL East. that's going to be very tough. Orioles have it easier IMO because they have 3 in Boston and then come home for 4 against the Jays, followed by another 3 at home against Boston. Basically, they have a 7 game home stretch against teams they have winning records against. Very easy, very winnable 7 game stretch where the team should be rested up before going on the road to face the Rays for a 3 game stand. Now, this series will be very important because the Rays still have a shot at the Wildcard but they are 6 games back so it's very unlikely IMO but still, that could come into play. The Yankees have to beat Oakland and that's not an easy trick. Yankees are 3-4 against the A's this year and got swept 4 straight in the second half of the season. Yankees are only 8-5 against the Jay's so they are beatable but they did not dominate them. You look at the Twins and the Yanks are 2-2 against them for the season. Yankees are 10-5 against Boston this season but in the 2nd half, they are only 5-4. Oakland has a better pitching staff then the Yankees do IMO but then, the Ray's have a better pitching staff then the O's do as well. It's going to be interesting.

Two University of South Carolina alumni with a desire to transform pharmacy education and practice are making a $30 million gift to the university's South Carolina College of Pharmacy, the second-largest in the university's history.
Announced September 17 by University President Harris Pastides, the gift is from USC alumni William and Lou Kennedy of Orlando, Fla., and will establish The William P. and Lou W. Kennedy Pharmacy Innovation Center.
The center will serve as a home for collaborative research and education that will bring together the nation's top minds in entrepreneurship, health sciences, communications and other disciplines with leading pharmacy practice faculty.
Pastides said the Kennedys' gift will assure that their alma mater will set the new benchmarks for pharmacy science and practice in the 21st century.
"Philanthropy is essential to the success of our university, and we are deeply appreciative of every gift to Carolina," he said. "However, some gifts have the potential to fundamentally alter teaching, research and the way we prepare our students. This is one of those gifts. The Kennedys' enormous generosity will establish the South Carolina College of Pharmacy as a leader in pharmacy science and practice."
Specific details of the center will be worked out by an oversight committee, but plans call for an endowed chair, fellowships for faculty, a lecture series, student scholarships, specialized training and additional entrepreneurial courses and certification for students.
A third of the gift will come to the university in cash over 10 years to fund the operation of the center. The remaining two-thirds will come as a bequest to endow the center.
Lou Kennedy, a Lexington native, earned her bachelor's degree from USC's College of Journalism in 1984. William "Bill" Kennedy earned his bachelor of science degree in pharmacy from the USC College of Pharmacy in 1966. He has achieved a reputation as an innovator in health care and pharmaceutical delivery.
As longtime supporters of USC and the College of Pharmacy, the Kennedys said the extraordinary donation, the largest ever to the SCCP and the second-largest to a pharmacy school in the country, was a natural decision for them.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart are just weeks away from the debut of the final installment of "The Twilight Saga," but first they're getting the MAD Magazine treatment - and AccessHollywood.com has your exclusive sneak peek!
The on and newly-rekindled-off-screen duo - along with the magazine's Alfred E. Neuman appearing as their onscreen vampire daughter Renesmee - has landed on the December 2012 cover of the humor mag.
PLAY IT NOW: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Meet Mackenzie Foy
MAD Magazine Editor in Chief John Ficarra said the "Breaking Dawn" stars were "unavailable" to pose for the cover for variety of reasons.
"We tried to get celebrity help with this cover, but of the three, the werewolf was the only one that was approachable," he joked in a statement to Access Hollywood. "We really wanted to get Robert Pattinson involved, but didn't have the budget for an eyebrow wrangler."

Adding, "We were all set up to work with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but they had to cancel because it conflicted with their weekly Brooding Lesson."
Check out the issue, due out on October 23, which will spoof all five of "The Twilight Saga" movies.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" hits theaters on November 16, 2012, but first Robert and Kristen are scheduled to appear together - along with the rest of the cast - to promote the movie in a variety of media appearances in Los Angeles.

looking for turtwig also. i don't have a lot to offer either. name a pokèmon and maybe we can work something out? would really appreciate it.
Needless to say I'm looking for most of the classic pokemon such as the starters so for the sake of not exhausting myself typing out specific posts for each pokemon I'm seeking, this is fairly going to be a copy/paste reply in the various pokemon threads I'm seeking. If you have any of the evolutions and feel contributing them to a fond collector, I'd much appreciate it. I mainly breed any pokemon I get and tend to raise eggs from scratch through their evolutions to feed my fanatic collection. If you see this post in a thread of a pokemon you have but you have other starters/various pokemon from other generations you have excess of and would be willing to donate for my collection, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a few chickoritas and dratini to offer, but until I can expand my collection and breed more starters/rares for trades, I have little to offer. I am always happy to help anyone who just wants to put in requests for any eggs of starters i'll breed in the furture for trades. Hopefully I'll be able to return any help thats given to me from these forums. ^.^
Feel Free to add me as a pal in game. My friend code is 5458 3038 3459

Valley of Kings - Coming Soon
Glad this has finally started.
Can only be a good thing.
For the last 18 months or so I have looked at MMA governing bodies in Scotland. Mainly because of problems getting suitable venues, the problem being that most local authorities do not want MMA in the venues they control and they control most of the best venues.
The responce you get from councils is they will not allow MMA until it has a governing body and is recognised by Sports Scotland, this sounds easy enough but its not.
To be recognised by Sport Scotland a governing body must represent the majority of clubs/gyms/teams.
The govening body must be established for at least 2 years prior to any application being submitted.
There are a number of other criteria that you must meet as well but the 2 above are the main ones. I dont know what the situation is in the rest of the UK but I would imagine it is something similar.
I am more than happy to help in any way I can.
I'm in and I am happy to do whatever is needed, within the constraints of the time I have avilable.
At present, I don't think we have much.... first off, we need to agree what our goals are, both long term and shorter term. If we don't really define what we are after, we stand little chance of getting there.
Once we have a clear and defined goal, we can then work out what we need to do and who we need to talk to, in order to get us there.
We also want to make sure we pace this properly. So people aren't running off doing stuff.
I'd alos like to suggest that there is a 'public' facing team for this. So 5 or so individuals who are the point of communication and contact. Anymore will make for chaos. There can be more behind the scenes.
So let's start. What is our LONG TERM goal?... need to be S.M.A.R.T. (if you don't know what that is, get some back issues of MMA Unlimited )
Whatever help I can give I will (but I am not a fighter, promoter etc) but if theres help i can give I'm in

As we head towards the start of the 2010-11 season, lets take a look at 9 teams who may struggle in goal.
Philadelphia Flyers – Michael Leighton has been a waiver claim 4 times in the past 4 years and another time was traded straight up for a 7th round pick. Despite playing well at times last year, he isn't anyone I'd be comfortable depending on and he will be starting the season on IR with a bad back. Brian Boucher has had moments of great play in his career too but has never been able to establish himself as anything more than a backup. This is not the goaltending a supposed Stanley Cup contender should have.
Ottawa Senators – The Senators had the third worst save percentage in the NHL and they chose to come back with the same tandem and they haven't looked any better in the pre-season. Pascal Leclaire might be the worst goalie in the NHL over the past couple seasons (challenging Toskala for that title) though the Senators hope that is in part due to his injury issues. Brian Elliot looked like he was in the process of transitioning from prospect to reliable NHL starter but he also struggled at times, and didn't look good in the playoffs. What Elliot's NHL career looks like is still a big question mark. Adding to the problem is the Senators lost a key defensive defenseman in Anton Volchenkov and added an offensive defenseman in Sergei Gonchar so the team may choose to go with a more offensive style of play which would only expose their goaltending issues even more.
Dallas Stars – Kari Lehtonen isn't a bad goalie, just an unhealthy one. Only once in his 5 year career has he been able to start more than 45 games. Behind Lehtonen you have Andrew Raycroft who probably has been one of the worst goalies post lockout. If Lehtonen gets injured yet again, it could be trouble for the Stars.
Toronto Maple Leafs – The Leafs have had terrible goaltending the last several years. The good news is there is no one on the Leaf roster named Toskala or Raycroft so that has to be a positive. But, with that said young Jonas Gustavsson hasn't proven anything and has looked iffy in the pre-season and veteran Jean-Sebastien Giguere is past his prime. That said, I think Giguere will have a more steady influence on the team even if he isn't a great goalie anymore and at least there is hope that Gustavsson can provide some upside as he develops.
Montreal Canadiens – I don't understand the logic of trading away Jaroslav Halak who in addition to being a playoff hero also posted a 26-13-5 record with a .924 save percentage in order to keep Carey Price and his 13-20-5 record and .912 save percentage. Price has looked shakey in the pre-season and if he doesn't turn it around it could be a long year in Montreal. New backup Alex Auld can be a decent backup but not someone I'd want to have to depend on too much.
Washington Capitals – Like the Flyers, the Capitals are Stanley Cup contenders with big question marks in goal. While the Flyers have a pair of goalies with more experience than the Capitals the Capitals have a pair of young goalies with potential to have very good careers. Both Seymon Varlamov and Michal Neuvirth have been solid in goal at times but combined they have just 47 NHL regular season starts. The good news is the Capitals have enough offense that they don't need great goaltending but even so, that is a lot of pressure to put on a pair of youngsters with no veteran goalie around to support them.
Edmonton Oilers – Khabibulin is one of the most streaky goalies around. When he is good, he can be really good, but when he is bad he can be awful, and there isn't much behind him to support him during those bad streaks. All that said, goaltending isn't all the Oilers will have issues with.
NY Islanders – Rick DiPietro can't seem to stay healthy and Dwayne Roloson is 41 years old. The potential is there for the Islanders to have serious goaltending problems this upcoming season.
Tampa Bay Lightning – Both Dan Ellis and Mike Smith have shown potential to be decent NHL goalies but neither have played well enough to be called a reliable starter and neither are coming off good seasons. Despite some good talent up front, it could be another long season for the Lightning if one of these guys can't step up their games or the coaching can't optimize the 'go with the hot goalie' strategy.
Honourable Mentions: Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks. I am not overly worried about Turco in Chicago, I think he can still be a reliable goalie for 50-60 games. Can Crawford deliver in his 25-30 games though? I am also not that worried about Niemi and Nittymaki in San Jose. I think between them they will provide solid goaltending, but it probably won't be as dependable as Nabokov's.

Real Questions with... Karmin
Listen to Karmin on iHeartRadio
Amy and Nick, better known to the world as hip-pop duo Karmin, got their start by uploading covers of popular songs to YouTube. When they posted an impressive cover of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" back in April 2011 that featured Amy rapping Busta Rhymes' verse, they never dreamed it would go viral (the video has been viewed over 83 million times to date), let alone lead to a record deal and a slot performing at the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival.
Fast forward to 2013, and the"daringest duo," as they have referred to themselves, now has a successful EP under their belts in Hello, which produced hit single "Brokenhearted," and are now gearing up for their full-length debut. Earlier this month, the engaged pair released "Acapella," the first single from their upcoming album, due out later this year.
Buy "Acapella" on iTunes
"Sonically, the song is, just very, very different in general," Nick tells iHeartRadio of the new song. "But it's definitely more representative of the overall vibe of the album. The album's a lot more, um, playful and..."
"Dangerous," Amy interjects. "There's some songs that you're like wow did you really say that? And there are some like 'Acapella' and there's some that are a little bit more representative of 'Brokenhearted.' There's a couple of ballads that are really heart wrenching too. So it's a nice mix."
Amy and Nick recently sat down with iHeartRadio to answer the questions you REALLY wanna know the answers to. Check out Real Questions with Karmin below!
Do Blondes have more fun?
Amy: I don't want to say it, but they do. Everything changed when I dyed my hair blonde... people look at you a little bit differently. They're kind of surprised cause it's a little unnatural. I was surprised that people recognized us still, without the roll and the brown hair and stuff.
Nick, do you prefer Amy as a blonde or a brunette?
Nick: No comment. That's a lose/lose answer.
Amy: He I likes me when I shave my head actually.
Nick: Yeah, I prefer it. This is a wig.
What is the one sound that you don't want to hear coming out of each other's mouths?
Nick: I mean even when she burps it's funny.
Amy: I wish. Nick, on the other hand, when he burps, it sounds like an explosion. I'm worried sometimes that he's going to throw up actually... it's a boy thing like you want to burp really loud, but it's a little disheartening. It's really loud. It echoes through the house.
What's the grossest thing you've ever put in your mouth?
Amy: A baked worm. Actually I ate a worm in Mexico.
Nick: I did too.
Amy: Proceeded to get extremely sick.
Nick: I did too.
What food do you have to compromise on?
Amy: There's the undocumented argument of I hate cilantro; he loves cilantro...
Nick: I don't love cilantro.
Amy: He enjoys cilantro. It tastes like soap to me.
Do you ever go without brushing your teeth?
Nick: I can't.
Amy: Ew. Yeah.
Nick: I can go without showering for like six months, but I have to brush my teeth at least twice a day. It drives me crazy.
Which one of you is a cheaper date?
Nick: Probably me.
Amy: Yeah, he's a beer guy. I'm a hard liquor girl.
Nick: But we're both really cheap. Well, she gets drunk faster. I'm just drinking more so... You know what I'm saying? If I'm going to start to have a beer; I'm going to start having beer. I'm not just going to pussyfoot around here.
What's the last thing you argued about?
Nick: Probably leaving my clothes everywhere
Amy: Yeah, he leaves his socks everywhere. It's like a trail, and they're never together. They're always separate, strategically placed wherever.
Nick: It's like breadcrumbs. It's like Hansel and Gretel.
What's the last romantic gesture, big or small, one of you did for the other?
Nick: I ran out into Manhattan this morning and got Amy Dunkin Donuts, which is a regular occurrence.
Amy: I never do anything nice for him, so please don't ask me.
Who's the most famous person you have in your phone?
Amy: Maybe Lindsay Lohan... Would that be the most?
Nick: Definitely got a famous name, yeah.
Amy: I'm obsessed with Brandy. She's in my phone. We text each other. Not bragging. But, I am bragging.
Nick: I got Jesus's number last week.
Do you steal from hotels?
Nick: She does, every time.
Amy: I stopped packing shampoo cause I was just like, 'Shampoo is shampoo, I don't care.' But, now that I'm blonde I realize that you do need a certain type of shampoo - it has to be moisturizing. But, we do take lotions. Travel size for your purse. You don't think about that stuff.
Who gets jealous more easily?
Amy: I would think me, for sure.
Nick: It takes a lot to get both of us jealous.
What's the most unglamorous part of your day?
Nick: Traveling is far from glamorous.
Amy: Yeah, airports, waiting in line at the airports. You've got take your chains and your bling off, walk through the thing.
Nick: It's what you got to do.
Amy: But, sometimes we opt out because somebody said that you can get cancer from the x-ray machines. So then you opt out and you have to wait longer and then they touch you... Nick likes that. He goes to the airport even when we're not flying.
Nick: Hey, can I, uh, can I get that pat down? I'm here for the pat down. 'Sir, do you have a flight today?' 'Nope, just here for the pat down.'
Have either one of you ever been fired from a job?
Amy: I did get kicked out of a girl group - I was in a girl group back in Boston. I was looking around for cameras... they brought me into a dark room, and they were like 'Amy, you're just not cutting it... You just don't fit, it doesn't make sense.' I was like, 'Oh.'
Have you ever peed your pants?
Nick: Third grade. Did it on purpose.
There was a rule that only one guy and one girl that could go to the bathroom at that time. And this guy had been in the bathroom for like 30 minutes or something... I was like, 'Come on bro what's going on? I've got to pee.' So, I kept going to the teacher and the teacher was kind of getting nasty with me. She was like, 'Is he back yet?' And I was like, 'No.' She was like, 'Then you can't go to the bathroom.' So I was super pissed at her so I just went back and sat down and just pissed myself. As soon as I started actually peeing, I was like, 'Oh, God. I immediately regret this decision.' I was so angry that I actually peed my own pants.
Amy: You're only cool if you pee your pants.
Nick: They had to call Mr. Jimmy, who was the custodian. He had to come with a mop...
Amy: Did the rules change?
Nick: I don't know. I can't remember.
iHeartRadio: You left your mark on the world.
Nick: Literally.
What's the meanest thing you've ever said to your manager?
Nick: Probably 'Go f*** yourself.' 'Your face looks like Robin Williams' knuckles.'
Amy: Aw.
Nick: I've never said that to him.
Have the critics ever made you cry?
Amy: There've been a couple things that have bothered us, but at the end of the day, at least they're talking about us.
Nick: Yeah, at the end of the day, it's like it's not even about the music. It's like, 'This b!#$& is annoying'
Do you fart in front of eachother?
Nick: Oh yeah. I am right now. It's happening. It's happening.
Amy: They're invisible by the way.
Nick: I just peed my pants too.
Amy: In defiance.
Nick: In defiance of your question.
What's your biggest regret?
Amy: I think for me not being able to see my family as much as I want to.
Nick: Yeah, I would probably say that too.

My niece, who'd only just moved here from Texas, admitted feeling a bit "creeped out" last Christmas as the gifts we gave her suggested we knew her far better than she thought we possibly could.Christmas gifts that creep out a teen. Is there anything better?Considering there are few in this age group who would be caught dead reading this column, I feel safe in sharing my secret with you.Go on Facebook and check out their Wall. There you'll be provided with a list of their favorite bands, television shows, movies, books, etc. Scroll through a few of their posts and you can learn what concerts they're hoping to see, places they hang out with their friends, and the names of their favorite restaurants and stores. Take this information and shop accordingly.Hot Topic has a huge selection of music T-shirts. Go online (sites like ebay and autographstore.com) to find authentic autographed photos of their favorite celebrity. (Read the description carefully to make sure it's an original autograph, not a reprint of an autographed photo.)Teenagers might seem like tough nuts to crack, but you can go a long way with a gift that shows some thought went into finding something they'd like. (Just be sure to keep quiet about the Facebook thing, lest they feel like you're spying.) Granted, there's always that one-size-fits-all gift-cash -- but unless there's something to unwrap, it can hardly feel like a holiday. Below are a few gift suggestions (all vetted through a bonafide teenager) that also might work for the teen on your list.Adventurous types would love a gift certificate for one of the West Virginia zipline tours. Prices range from $35 (at burningrockwv.com) to $109 (at newrivergorgecanopytour.com). Whitewater rafting excursions are another option to consider.If the teen you're shopping for is especially tough, I personally recommend the Lightning Reaction shocking game, which I bought for my nephew a few years back at Kid Country Toys. The game led to a fun day of trying to determine who could endure the most pain, as players receive actual shocks of varying intensity. (The pain is similar to hitting your funny bone.)Or if you've always wondered where you can get a personalized message written on an impressively large beer belly, then photographed and sent to your loved one, look no further than fiverr.com (search for "the beergut man"). The best part is that it's only five bucks. In fact, that's the beauty of fiverr. Everything there costs five dollars. The site showcases individuals from all over the world who offer random services they'll provide for five dollars. You can have a song written and performed for your loved one, get a cartoon drawn from their snapshot, have a picture of their face Photoshopped onto a foot ---it's all there. For the new driver on your list, perpetualkid.com offers an oversized Band-aid that adheres magnetically to the car to cover dents, dings and scratches. A bargain at only $7. (Discounts may be available for those purchasing in bulk.)If you act soon (as it can take a few weeks for delivery), you can custom-design sneakers with your own photos or artwork through Zazzle.com. For reasons known only to her, my daughter designed shoes featuring a penguin holding toast balloons. The quality was top notch, and the price ($60) seems reasonable for a custom item.(Tip: Do a Google search for "coupon code" plus the name of the store to find free shipping offers and other discounts.)Animal-loving teenagers might appreciate donations made in their name to the humane society, where they can sponsor an animal, or to an organization such as the National Wildlife Federation or the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Creative types might appreciate art lessons (TaylorBooks.com) or some good quality art supplies. Those interested in writing can find information about upcoming workshops on wvwriters.org.One of my favorite sites is etsy.com, where artists and craft people from all over sell their wares. The site is addictive. The search feature enables you to find local artists, or you can type in a few random search words and find one-of-a-kind items that are perfect for your recipient. If the person you're shopping for is a fan of, say, Harry Potter, just search for that, and you'll have hundreds (if not thousands) of items to choose from.I recommend searching for "steampunk jewelry" on etsy as there are some interesting and affordable one-of-a-kind jewelry that teenage girls (at least the ones I'm familiar with) absolutely adore.There are some strange things to be found on etsy. Among my favorites are a handmade stuffed plush pancreas, crocheted sperm, and a knitted dissected frog displayed in an actual dissection tray. (Dissected rat, earthworm, and fetal pig are also available.)For brainiacs teens (and nerdy adults), there are few sites better than thinkgeek.com.And finally, for teenagers who read, consider a book of fictional stories featuring West Virginia's very own mothman. "The Mothman Files," published by Woodland Press, is a fun and interesting read. (And, coincidentally, includes a story of mine.) Or if your teen prefers thrillers, I highly recommend "Full Bone Moon," which is loosely based on the actual murders of two WVU coeds. Both books are available in bookstores all over the state or online at Amazon or woodlandpress.com. Reach Karin Fuller via email at email@example.com.
