Trailer: "Cannibal" (2010)

In what seems to be a different take on the whole cannibal in the middle of the woods sub genre, writer and director Benjamin Vire, brings us the Belgian movie "Cannibal" about a man who develops a romantic relationship with a cannibalistic woman.

The synopsis:

Max (Gob), an agoraphobic golfing enthusiast with a murky past, leads a secluded life in the remote Belgian countryside. While out in the woods practising his swing, he stumbles across an unconscious young woman (Coppejans) covered in dirt and blood and takes her home to clean her up and take care of her. Despite not fully trusting the stranger, whom he decides to call Bianca, Max begins to develop an attraction towards this mysterious beauty. One evening, when Bianca escapes the house and runs into the woods, Max decides to follow her and is shocked to find her cannibalizing a man while having sex with him. Overcoming his initial revulsion, Max becomes fascinated by Bianca’s deviant behaviour and the two begin a bizarre romantic relationship. But it soon becomes apparent that Max is not the only one with a keen interest in Bianca and her unconventional habits when she is abducted and he once again comes face to face with his own violent past.

"Cannibal" is now available on DVD courtesy of Matchbox Films and looks pretty interesting. Let's hope the real subtitles aren't all highlighted like in the trailer below, cause that may be a deal breaker for me.

I like horror movies. That is all.

Poland Asks IMF for $20 Billion Credit Line

Warsaw is making the International Monetary Fund request as a preemptive move to keep financial difficulties from arising

Poland announced on Tuesday (14 April) that it will apply for a €15.5 billion ($20.5bn) credit line from the International Monetary Fund.

Warsaw is to make the request via a new lending facility created by the International Monetary Fund last month to enable primarily emerging countries with "strong economic fundamentals" to bolster their finances in a pre-emptive bid to prevent financial difficulties from arising.

Speaking in Warsaw, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his government would apply to be given access to the funds from the IMF's Flexible Credit Line (FCL) over a one-year period, making it the second country to apply to the facility after Mexico indicated interest in a $47 billion credit line earlier this month.

"I am very pleased by this positive response from Poland to the invitation I extended to strongly performing economies to use this new instrument to bolster international confidence," IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said in a statement.

"Poland has a sustained record of sound economic policies," he said. "Its economic fundamentals and policy framework are strong, and the Polish authorities have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining this solid record."

Mr Strauss-Kahn added he would seek quick approval for the credit line from the fund's executive board.

Analysts endorsed the move on Tuesday, saying it was partially designed to reassure jittery markets of the Polish government's capacity to maintain stable currency values and service current debt obligations.

Access to the credit line is also expected to help the Polish government reduce the cost of issuing bonds by allaying concerns of a potential debt default.

The zloty rose against the euro yesterday after the news was announced, finishing close to 4.24 to the euro compared to a mid-February low of 4.9 to the euro.

The FCL was established on 24 March along with a wider package of IMF reforms.

Unlike the more standard lending facilities at the fund, which provide loans to trouble-stricken countries on condition they implement certain economic reforms, the FCL is only available to states whose finances are considered to be in good order but who could benefit from further access to financing.

This no-strings-attached approach has helped greatly reduce the stigma historically associated with loan applications from the IMF, a development underscored by the market's positive reaction to the news on Tuesday.

Brazil’s November Coffee Exports Set to Be About 3 Million Bags

Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Coffee exports from Brazil, the world’s largest producer of the commodity, are likely to be about 3 million bags of 60 kilograms (132 pounds) in November, according to Rio de Janeiro-based broker Flavour Coffee.

Brazil shipped 3.18 million bags in November last year, according to data from the nation’s Coffee Exporters’ Council, known as Cecafe. Exports in October were 3.09 million bags, down from 3.49 million bags a year earlier, data from Cecafe show.

“The pace of November shipments so far is similar to October shipments,” Flavour Coffee said in a weekly report e-mailed yesterday. “This indicates that November shipments should stay around 3 million bags.”

Brazilian coffee, which usually trades below the price in New York, continued to command a premium to the ICE Futures U.S. exchange over the past week, according to data from the broker.

Fine cup beans were selling at a premium of 5 cents a pound over ICE and good cup beans, which are of lower quality than fine cups, were selling at a discount of 10 cents a pound, unchanged from the previous week, it said.

“Differentials remain tight for all qualities, particularly for fine qualities that are all with premiums over ICE,” according to the report.

Some roasters bought fine cup levels for the first half of 2012 this week, Thiago Cazarini, a coffee broker at Varginha, Brazil-based Cazarini Trading Company, wrote in a weekly report e-mailed today.

Arabica coffee for March delivery rose 0.2 percent to $2.366 a pound by 9:45 a.m. London time on ICE Futures U.S. in New York.

YPF Said to Start Exporting Crude After Refinery Fire

April 17 (Bloomberg) -- YPF SA, Argentina’s largest oil company, signed contracts to export crude as its La Plata refinery operates at about half of normal output levels after a fire earlier this month, a government official said.

YPF will export about 660,000 cubic meters (4.15 million barrels) from the San Jorge gulf basin over the next two months, said the official, who asked not to be named because the arrangement hasn’t been made public.

The state-owned company will have to spend an additional $400 million to import fuel to supply service stations after a flood and fire at La Plata reduced output. The cost will be mitigated by the crude exports that probably will start this week at ports from the southern provinces of Santa Cruz and Chubut, the official said.

YPF spokesman Alejandro Di Lazzaro and the Planning Ministry’s Horacio Mizrahi declined to comment in e-mailed responses to questions on crude exports arrangements.

YPF hasn’t exported crude in the last year, according to Energy Department data. Chubut and Santa Cruz will receive royalties on sales at $110 per barrel rather than $70 paid by the company when selling to the local market, the official said.

The refinery is producing about 14,000 cubic meters per day compared with 28,000 before the April 2 fire, the government official said. While output will ramp up in the coming days, the plant probably won’t return to normal levels this year, suggesting exports will continue beyond the two-month period, the official said.

Amgen to Join Astellas on Developing Cancer, Bone Drugs

May 29 (Bloomberg) -- Amgen Inc., the world’s largest biotechnology company by sales, announced a partnership with Japanese drugmaker Astellas Pharma Inc. to bring five of its experimental therapies to market in that country.

The companies will create a venture called Amgen Astellas BioPharma KK that will become an Amgen subsidiary as early as 2020, they said today in a statement. The venture will seek regulatory approval in Japan for drugs to treat high cholesterol, osteoporosis, stomach cancer, leukemia and lymphoma.

Amgen is developing new products and expanding its business outside the U.S. as sales decline for its anemia drugs Aranesp and Epogen. While most large U.S. drugmakers generate about half their revenue oversees, Amgen, based in Thousand Oaks, California, got just 22 percent in 2012. Chief Executive Officer Robert Bradway is looking to change that balance with expansion plans in 75 markets including Japan, China and Brazil.

“This is consistent with our desire to globalize and this is a very, very important step for us in that progression,” said Bradway, who took the company helm last year, in a phone interview. “This is a clear, tangible step in the direction of Amgen having its own presence in the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical market.”

Unmet Needs

Yoshihiko Hatanaka, president and CEO of Tokyo-based Astellas, said the alliance “will strengthen our pipeline to address unmet medical needs, as well as enable us to obtain growth drivers.”

Amgen fell 1.7 percent to $104.39 at the close in New York. The company has advanced 51 percent in the past 12 months. Astellas jumped as much as 3.2 percent to 5,500 yen in Tokyo and closed 1.9 percent higher at 5,430 yen. The stock has surged 76 percent in the past 12 months.

Amgen executives have signaled they were looking for partners in Asia. Arvind Sood, the company’s vice president of investor relations, said at a March conference headed by investment firm Cowen & Co. of Boston that Amgen saw a “tremendous amount of unmet medical need in the Asian markets” for products to treat gastric cancer, in particular.

One reason 33-year-old Amgen hasn’t expanded globally sooner is because of the complexity of manufacturing and distributing its biologic-based products, Bradway said. Unlike most drugmakers, which sell chemically-based pills, Amgen’s products are manufactured from living organisms, must be stored in specific conditions, and are injected rather than swallowed.

Amgen’s Footprint

“We were very successful and continue to be successful in the U.S. and western Europe, and the partnerships we struck served us well at that time, but as we’ve grown we have felt and increasing desire and need to have control of our business in these markets,” Bradway said. “We have sought to take back rights from our partners and establish our own footprint for the benefit of our pipeline molecules and others.”

Among the drugs Amgen and Astellas will co-develop are the gastric cancer therapies rilotumumab, also known as AMG 102, and AMG 337, the companies said today.

Two of the other experimental drugs that are part of the Astellas venture, the heart therapy AMG 145 and the osteoporosis treatment romosozumab, are among eight late-stage medicines that Bradway said should begin reaching the U.S. market by 2016.

The fifth drug, blinatumomab or AMG 103, is aimed at treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Paying Royalties

Astellas will pay “a certain amount of royalties” to Amgen, Hatanaka of Astellas said in the briefing without elaborating on further financial details of the deal. The companies will split the costs, Bradway said. Amgen’s goal is to begin marketing the first drug from their collaboration as early as 2016.

Amgen sold its Japanese unit in 2008 to Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., the country’s largest drugmaker, for as much as $902 million. Amgen’s vice president of global marketing at the time, Dominique Monnet, said Japan’s drug regulations “make it pretty expensive for a company not established in Japan to be able to launch and commercialize” new products.

Unlike the Takeda deal, Amgen’s alliance with Astellas is designed to be a long-term deal that will result in a freestanding company by 2020.

Bradway said “the timing worked well” to re-enter Japan through the partnership.

“Japan was an important opportunity for Amgen, one that we felt that we needed to be represented in, in order to remain the world’s leading biotech company,” Bradley said in a briefing in Japan with reporters. “We have known that we would need and want a direct operating presence here, and timing worked well now to work together with Astellas.”

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. advised Amgen on the venture with Astellas. Morrison & Foerster LLP provided legal advice to Astellas.

Obama Said to Keep NSA in Charge of Phone Records for Now

U.S. President Barack Obama’s months-long review of the NSA’s programs follows the disclosure last year of classified programs in documents leaked by former contractor Edward Snowden. Photographer: Sean Gallup/Getty Images

Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will leave bulk telephone records with the National Security Agency for now and will ask Congress to decide whether the data should instead be held by telecommunications companies or transferred to a third party, a person familiar with the matter said.

While a White House advisory panel recommended last year that the phone metadata should be held by companies such as Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T Inc. or some other private entity, Obama isn’t ready to announce an immediate shift when he releases his proposal to limit NSA surveillance programs on Jan. 17, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plans haven’t been announced.

The collection and storage of bulk communications data by the government has been one of the most contentious issues in the furor that followed disclosures about the NSA’s sweeping surveillance programs by former government contractor Edward Snowden. Whether such collection should continue has already sparked a fight in Congress over the program.

Telecommunications companies have resisted holding the records for the government, and Senator Dianne Feinstein has said it would be costly for carriers and potentially expose them to lawsuits.

A third party that could store the data doesn’t yet exist. An administration official familiar with the president’s thinking said Congress would have to enact legislation that would enable a third-party to retain the records.

Company View

AT&T Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson said he was “anxiously awaiting” Obama’s plan. Speaking at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast today in Washington, Stephenson declined to disclose his position on keeping the records.

“At the end of the day, the data needs to be provided only pursuant to a court order or a subpoena or a warrant,” Stephenson said. “So where the data is housed probably isn’t that important, as long as the rules are clarified and we know exactly what we’re looking at.”

The data collection issue crosses party lines.

Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, and Representative James Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, have introduced legislation that would prohibit the NSA from collecting bulk phone records, as has Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican backed by small-government Tea Party groups.

The NSA, or Federal Bureau of Investigation, would have to get a court order on a case-by-case basis to seek records from the phone companies under their bills.

Supporting Collection

Feinstein, a California Democrat and chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, and Representative Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican who is chairman of the House intelligence panel, have said they will fight to keep the bulk-records program going.

The outcome is too close to call, Stewart Baker, a former general counsel for the National Security Agency, said in an interview. “I think it’s going to be very close,” he said.

Baker, now a Washington-based partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP, said that Obama has been pulled back by his advisers from taking radical steps to curb spy programs.

“He came in with a set of views but he listened very hard to the interagency and all of the intelligence agencies and they moved him considerably on the value of the programs,” Baker said.

Obtaining Warrants

Two intelligence officials who’ve participated in the administration’s internal review of the NSA’s programs and asked for anonymity to discuss the plans said the president also opposes requiring the government in most cases to obtain a warrant to access the data. That was another of the recommendations from Obama’s independent panel.

Requiring such warrants won’t hinder terrorism probes, members of the the review panel said yesterday in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

White House officials also have suggested that Obama may be willing to curtail snooping on allies while preserving the ability to monitor leaders from hostile nations. The president has previously signaled he favors creating a privacy advocate at the secret court that oversees foreign surveillance.

Obama’s months-long review of NSA programs follows the disclosure last year of classified programs in documents leaked by Snowden, who faces espionage charges and is in Russia under temporary asylum.

The president is seeking to contain political and diplomatic damage to the U.S. and the economic impact on American businesses without giving up the government’s ability to use electronic intelligence gathering to fight terrorism.

The administration is fighting a global backlash over revelations the NSA spied on leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, hacked into fiber-optic cables to get data from Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc., and intercepted Americans’ communications without warrants.

Company Overview

Honeywell Resins & Chemicals L.L.C. operates as a subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.

Margaret & Bermuda Streets

Founded in 2003

Key Executives for Honeywell Resins & Chemicals L.L.C.

Compensation as of Fiscal Year 2015.

Honeywell Resins & Chemicals L.L.C. Key Developments

Honeywell Resins and Chemicals to Expand Nylon Polymer Production Capacity

Honeywell Resins and Chemicals announced that it will expand production capacity at its Chesterfield, Va., facility to meet demand for high-grade nylon polymers for packaging film and other applications. The new production line will be able to produce both nylon 6 and copolymer nylon 6/6.6 resins, with flexibility to produce either or both as needed to match customer demand. The new line will have a capacity of 40,000 metric tons per year and is expected to start production in the fourth quarter of 2015, expanding capacity at the facility to 200,000 metric tons per year. Honeywell's resins, sold under the Aegis(R) brand name, are used in diverse applications such as fibers and filaments for carpeting, fabrics, nets and cords; engineered plastic components for automotive, consumer and industrial applications; and films for food and protective packaging. For food packaging applications, Aegis resins provide excellent barrier properties to oxygen, helping to retain flavor and maintain product freshness. Honeywell Resins and Chemicals is also a major producer and global supplier of caprolactam, a merchant-grade, nylon 6 intermediate used in a range of applications, including carpet, textiles, engineering plastics, films and industrial filament. The Honeywell plant in Hopewell, Va., with a capacity of 350,000 metric tons of caprolactam per year, is one of the larger single-site caprolactam production facilities in the world. Honeywell caprolactam is sold globally and shipped either in molten or flake form to a variety of downstream customers. Resins and Chemicals offers more than a half-century of technology and customer-focused application development expertise, and continues to invest in its research and development capabilities to enable sustainable growth worldwide. The business also conducts nylon-related research and development at technology centers in New Jersey and Virginia, where it operates laboratory-scale polymer reactors and blown film equipment, as well as in Shanghai, China, where the business recently installed a laboratory-scale multilayer coextrusion cast film line and has extensive analytical capabilities for resin development. In addition to caprolactam and resins, Honeywell Resins and Chemicals sells chemical intermediates, including phenol, cyclohexanone and acetone. It is also a major producer of ammonium sulfate fertilizer, a co-product of caprolactam production, which is sold under the Sulf-N(R) brand.

Praxair Starts Up Carbon Dioxide Purification Facility in Hopewell, Virginia

Praxair Inc. announced the start-up of its new carbon dioxide (CO(2)) purification facility at the Honeywell Resins & Chemicals site in Hopewell, VA. Under a long-term agreement, Praxair will purchase CO(2) from Honeywell Resins & Chemicals, a critical feedstock used for nylon production. The agreement expands Praxair's business relationship with Honeywell. Praxair's new facility purifies and liquefies up to 450 tons per day of CO(2), a byproduct of the production process at Honeywell's caprolactam facility. The CO(2) supply will help Praxair serve customers in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, where it is used to freeze, chill, preserve and package food and carbonate beverages. It is also used in the healthcare, oil recovery, metal fabrication, chemicals and wastewater segments.

About Us

Due to the dedication and commitment our children have made to the sport of swimming, it is critical that a support network be in place to foster the continued success of the Bluefish Swim Club program and to allow our athletes the best possible opportunities throughout their swimming careers.

The Bluefish are fortunate enough to have such an organization in place to provide this support.  Bluefish Boosters, Inc. (dba “Bluefish Friends and Fans”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax exempt organizationIt is our goal to work with Bluefish coaches and parents to provide a social and financial support network to swimmers by sponsoring programs to fund projects, social activities and travel, while fostering team spirit that will involve every Bluefish family.

We need involvement from as many Bluefish families as possible.  “Bluefish Friends and Fans” meetings are held on a regular basis throughout the year and present an opportunity to foster communication between parents, swimmers and coaches.  It is a vehicle that can be used to influence your child’s swimming experience.  The diversity in swimmers ages, geographical locations and pool venues represent opportunities for us as a group to put new programs in place to further assist the coaches in reaching their goals for the team.

We have many committees and volunteer opportunities that will help the Bluefish continue to be successful.  Some of them include:  Fundraising, Social Activities, Corporate Sponsorships, Parent Education, Newsletter and Scholarship just to name a few.  Please consider volunteering for any of the areas listed above.  Feel free to contact a member of the Board of Directors for further information.

Acid Flashback Friday: Cito Sucks

Friday, April 23, 2010  |  by

Before there were ever clubhouse mutinies, Cito Gaston was stirring up controversy long before most of us can remember.

It's hard to believe that there was ever a time that Cito Gaston was disliked by folks other than Blue Jays fans, but back in the early 90's Gaston wasn't exactly the most revered manager in baseball.

This week for Acid Flashback Friday we take a look at the "Cito Sucks" campaign.

It all began in 1993 when Cito irked some folks by electing four additional Blue Jays on the 1993 American League All-Star roster, in addition to Joe Carter, John Olerud and Roberto Alomar who had been voted in by the fans. However, that was only the tip of the iceberg.

Fast forward to the 1993 MLB All-Star game itself. In the bottom of the ninth, as only one of three pitches who had not been used in the game, Mike Mussina assumed that he would be called upon as the hometown hero to finish the game.

With a comfortable six run lead going into the top of the ninth, Cito opted to use his closer Duane Ward and Mussina never tossed one pitch in the game. After the game, Cito expressed his disgust with how Mussina took it upon himself to start warming up in the bullpen.
"By standing up, he (Mussina) showed me he's a person with little class. Screw him. I just won't take him next year".
The fans revolted and so began the "Cito Sucks" campaign, as you can see by the guys in the T-Shirts above. For years, Cito was extremely disliked in Baltimore and he and Mike Mussina haven't exactly seen eye to eye.

In fact, Cito would often receive death threats when the Blue Jays would travel to Baltimore on road trips, so it's apparent the fans haven't forgotten about what happened in the 1993 All-Star Game.

All this time later, the jury's still out on who was in the wrong in that situation: Cito Gaston or Mike Mussina. After 17 years though, I would say it's time to move on.

It just goes to show you that fans never forget. That's why Steve Bartman will probably never be able to show his face in Chicago ever again.

  1. Cito was told by the Baltimore Orioles management that he was not allowed to use Mussina during the game since he just pitched the game before the All star break (or was scheduled to pitch the game after, I can't remember). I don't know why this was ever an issue.

  2. Just out of curiosity I checked Baseball Reference, and Mussina started the second game back for the Orioles after the '93 All-Star Break.

    The day of the All-Star game on July 13th would've been his regularly scheduled spot in the rotation, so I can see where he was coming from - he wanted to get some work in.

    Mussina must've been hurt though because the Orioles put him on the DL on July 22nd.

  3. I think there's more than enough evidence to just write Mike "can't wait 15 minutes for a ceremony" Mussina off as an a-hole.

  4. True, both guys can make a case for being right in the situation. Mike Mussina's character (or lack thereof) doesn't exactly help.

    I love that Mussina is only one of two players we know for sure Cito absolutely HATES. The other of course ... Roger Clemens.

  5. I think there's more than enough evidence to just write Mike "can't wait 15 minutes for a ceremony" Mussina off as an a-hole.

    The zeal with which some Blue Jay fans continue to latch on to this phony "affront" provides more than enough evidence that they can be written off as intellectually dishonest or stupid.

    Mussina's point -- an entirely legitimate one, at that; I'd go so far as to call it inarguable -- was that if there's to be a pre-game ceremony, it should either be held early enough not to delay the scheduled start, or the starting pitchers should be informed of the real starting time so they can adjust their routines accordingly, rather than being left to put themselves at undue risk by warming up too early and then sitting around and getting cold.

    But, by all means, continue with your "Mussina pissed on a guy with cancer!" straw man.

  6. Anon, it's hard to say - maybe this whole thing was blown out of proportion. After all, it happened almost 20 years ago.

    I agree with your point that the starter should probably be given a heads up about pre-game ceremonies, but what Mussina did was disrespectful. I'm sure other starters have encountered the same thing, but didn't say mum about it.

  7. I remember when Pat Gillick was hired by the Orioles. I was wondering why he didn't hire Cito and this "snub" reminds me why? I think he would have been a better hire than Davey Johnson who I thought was too Earl Weaver like when he was with the Orioles. Cito let the guys play and would have been ideal for Cal Ripken's calling pitches.

  8. I never had any use for Gaston---the fact that when he left the Blue Jays in the 90's no other team ever hired him speaks volume for what kind of coach he was--when he was criticized in the Toronto media-he claimed the writers were "racist"-I never felt he was much of a coach--Gillick was the architect of the Blue Jays World Series years--Gaston just went along for the ride

Former Henderson exchange student moves back, helps others visit

Dorothee Kellinghusen cooks dinner with Guilherme Secchin, a foreign Exchange student from Brazil

Published: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 11:40 p.m.

Dorothee Kellinghusen's American dream began more than 30 years ago when she came to Henderson County from Germany as a 17-year-old foreign exchange student.

Now a Hendersonville resident, she is helping other teens experience life in her adopted country by serving as a host with American Field Service, a foreign exchange student program that introduced her to Guilherme Secchin, a Brazilian teen currently living with her and her son, Julius.

Guilherme began attending Hendersonville High School shortly after he arrived in August. A desire to improve his English — Portuguese is his native language — and learn about a different culture led him to become a foreign exchange student, the 17-year-old said Thursday afternoon over a pot of hot tea, cake and German chocolates at the Kellinghusen home.

“She's really good — she's a good mother,” he said of Kellinghusen with obvious affection. “My experience here has been good.”

And Guilherme has had no problems fitting in at his new school.

“He has more friends than I do,” Julius said, laughing.

Guilherme has broadened his horizons since he has been here, Kellinghusen said. She recalled a conversation the two had when Guilherme signed up for classes. With the exception of classes such as English and math, most of the others he wanted to take were already full.

Classes left included art, music and drama. Guilherme reluctantly signed up for drama after some gentle encouragement from Julius and Dorothee, with the understanding that if he didn't like it after a couple of weeks, he could talk to the guidance counselor about taking a different class.

“After a few weeks, I asked him, ‘How is school?' and he says ‘fine.' Then I ask him, ‘What is your favorite class?' and he says, ‘Drama,' ” Kellinghusen said with a laugh.

Kellinghusen attended East Henderson High for the 1978-79 academic year. She was born in Phoenix while her father, a German air force pilot, was being trained at the nearby U.S. Air Force base.

The family returned to Germany when her father's training ended. When she turned 15, Kellinghusen reminded her father of a promise he made to allow her to travel back to America one day. She and her family spent the next year going through the application process with AFS until she was accepted.

She was one of four AFS students at East Henderson that year, she said. Her AFS comrades were two male students, one from Thailand and one from Mexico, and a female student who was French Canadian.

It was an experience she would never forget.

“During that year, my classmates treated me like a princess,” Kellinghusen said. “They included me in so many things; they treated me so special. I didn't want to be treated special, but they did.”

Guilherme's experience so far is mirroring his host's, as his classmates include him in activities such as intramural skiing and snowboarding, two of his favorite activities here. But the cold weather has taken some getting used to.

“It is much colder here than where I am from,” Guilherme confessed, adding that he water skis in Brazil. “I really like skiing and snowboarding.”

Guilherme has been treated just like any other student at Hendersonville High, said Scott Moore, assistant principal.

“He's been very polite,” Moore said. “He's fitting in well.”

When Kellinghusen's year as an AFS student at East Henderson High was up, she went back to Germany and lived her life. She worked as a photographer for a newspaper, married and had children. But the idea of coming back to America never went away; in fact, it grew stronger with each passing year.

She moved to Hendersonville in June 2005 and the rest of her family arrived a few months later after she met her goals of landing a job and finding a place to live. Kellinghusen hosted five AFS students while living in Germany, she said, and once the family was established here, she fulfilled her goal of opening her home to an AFS student in 2008.

That student was a girl from Thailand named Mook Sirichactivapee. Guilherme is Kellinghusen's second AFS student since she has lived in America.

Hosting foreign exchange students is an experience that “enriches my life,” she said. She encourages other people to become hosts.

“All you need to do is open the house for another person,” Kellinghusen said. “You just need to include them and treat them like you would a member of your own family. That's all it takes.”

For more information on becoming an AFS host family or student, visit or contact AFS Carolinas Chairperson Gerry Bair at 828-758-4465 or by email at

Got a Minute with Sara Beth Black

Fiber artist with Heritage Weavers & Fiber Artists

Published: Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 6:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 6:52 a.m.

Age: 65

Hometown: This Army brat calls Asheville home.

Family: Husband, Jan; a son, Taylor, a student at Dickinson College; a daughter, Chelsea, a student at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington; two dogs and a cat.

When did you first get interested in rug hooking? And why have you continued with this type of work?

My grandmother was a hooker (and a flapper).

Many of my summers were spent taking clothes apart and cutting wool for her. I never really got into it until my son was born.

When the baby is crying and you are knitting or counting, you pause before you go see what is wrong with the baby. How many things I messed up, putting the work down.

I remembered Granny's hooking.

By that time, she had passed on, so I found a hooking kit at a quilt show and have never looked back. It is a portable craft with no counting or losing stitches.

It became a passion about 18 years ago, not just something to do with my hands at night.

What is your background, and how has that influenced your work?

My background is interior design. I had a design studio and retail store for 22 years in Key Largo, Fla. I feel this was my creative outlet for a good part of my life. When my son was born, I sold the business and moved to Asheville. My creative outlet is now my hooking and dyeing wool.

How did you end up teaching with the Heritage Weavers & Fiber Artists?

I was asked by a friend to come and speak to the Fiber Guild group and show them what rug hooking was about.

These ladies all had the same “sickness” I had — fiber. They were interested in the hooking and I was interested in all the textures of fiber. I loved to use yarn and roving in my projects.

When the HWFA was formed from the group, they asked me to come teach at Historic Johnson Farm. When I said yes, they went from the Heritage Weavers to Heritage Weavers & Fiber Artists. I love it! It is a great family to be a part of. Also, the idea of keeping the heritage arts from the past alive is exciting to me. My grandmother would have loved that.

What is your favorite part of rug hooking?

I think my favorite part of the process is creating the design and pulling the colors together. I just love the freedom to do whatever I want, in whatever color I want. No rules, no mistakes.

What other fiber arts do you do?

I actually still knit a bit (would rather put the yarn in a rug); needle felting, painted floor cloths and think of things I can do with wool. I realized wool fiber is my thing!

What advice would you give people interested in trying rug hooking?

Buy a kit. People are always trying new crafts, looking for a creative outlet. I spend a lot of time making kits to give them an opportunity to try something new without having to buy all the “stuff.”

At the classes at Johnson Farm, I show you how to do it and how to do it without spending a bunch of money. Hooking is a relaxing way to unwind, get rid of the stress and a lot cheaper than therapy. The hardest part of it is pulling that first loop. Once you learn that, you can do anything.

What has been your favorite creation?

Every piece I hook! It is always my favorite when I start it, work on it and finish it.

What is a “hook-in?”

Ahhhh ... the “hook-in.” Best money spent, in my book. It is a boarding camp for hookers. Usually five to six days in a central location, with a teacher who can hook anything and answer whatever question you can come up with. Fifty, 60 or 90 women, and some men, who come together with the same interest and excitement.

We hook, eat chocolate, drink Diet Cokes or coffee and solve the world's problems. I'm talking serious problems, like “Should I get the Lifestyle Lift,” “Should I get the knee replacement?” “What am I going to do about that tacky daughterin- law to be?” and “Should I have one more piece of chocolate?” If you don't leave a “hook-in” with creative juices flowing, there is something wrong with you.

Super full moon shines brightly this weekend

The phenomenon occurs when the moon passes closer to Earth than usual. The event on Sunday, June 23, 2013 will make the moon appear 14 percent larger than normal, but the difference is so small that most skywatchers won’t notice. (AP Photo/Dimitri Messinis)

Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 1:14 p.m.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A "supermoon" rises this weekend.

The biggest and brightest full moon of the year graces the sky early Sunday as our celestial neighbor swings closer to Earth than usual.

While the moon will appear 14 percent larger normal, most skywatchers won't be able to notice the difference. Still, astronomers say it's worth looking up and appreciating the cosmos.

The moon will be closest and turn full around 7:30 a.m. EDT, making it the best time to view.

As in any supermoon event, high tides are forecast because of the moon's proximity, but the effect is expected to be small.

Forget about the myths that swirl every time a supermoon appears. There's no link to higher crime or bizarre behavior. Scientists say that's just lunacy.

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) — Police in the southeast Arkansas city of Pine Bluff say a 107-year-old man is dead after SWAT officers shot back at him during a standoff at a home.

Pine Bluff Lt. David Price tells KATV ( ) that police officers called to the home Saturday were told Monroe Isadore had pointed a weapon at two people there.

Officers had the threatened pair leave the home and approached a bedroom. Police say Isadore shot through the door at officers but missed hitting them.

More officers were called, including a SWAT team that inserted a camera into the room and confirmed Isadore had a handgun.

Yeah, I scored a gold medal for the first level and it unlocked the Rex revolver for MP.

New World Order Patch

This Project Three Interactive Downloads Page offers patches to upgrade various versions of New World Order to bring the first-person shooter up to version 1.41. The patches have been mirrored on 3D Gamers and Worthplaying. Here's word from Project Three: "This time we have really pulled out the stops - With patch 1.41 NWO is a lot faster, more stable, has drastically improved networking, new weapons behaviour and tweaks, added freeze-time and round-time, improved AI behaviour, server pass wording, admin login and the list just goes on and on and on! With 1.41 we also released the NWO_SAT - NWO Server Admin Tool. A windowed server launch tool that supports all NWO 1.41 features. This makes it easy to launch and monitor multiple servers to set up and arrange clan wars! As always, we will continue to add to and improve NWO further. We have many great things lined up!"

Where Bluffton gets its news!
September 1, 2015

Council's 2013 budget near $4.3 million, close to 2012's figure

Bluffton's 2013 budget of $4.3 million received council's okay on Monday. The budget is required to be passed by law in July. It is an approximate figure used in determining actual village appropriations, which must be passed by Dec. 31.

According to Nancy Kindle, village fiscal officer, the estimated 2013 budget is very close to the 2012 budget.

She told council that she does not expect much change in revenue from 2012 to 2013, nor expense changes during the period.

While countless residents suffered damage from the June 29 windstorm, the village actually fared quite well.

Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, told council that the only damage to village property involved fence damage at the water plant and fence damage at Maple Grove Cemetery.

"Our damage was no where near our $10,000 deductible," he said. He noted that several downed trees in Riley Creek concern him. According to Allen County officials, trees downed in streams are the responsiblity of property owners.

Mehaffie said that it is difficult to tell whose trees are in the Riley.

My next book will be spiritual poetry, but not necessarily Christian oriented. After that I will publish some of my secular poetry and children's poetry.
This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
