Will "the Mighty" Strohl

Movie Review: Angels & Demons

Last night, we went to see a sneak preview of the newest Tom Hanks’ & Ron Howard joint project, Angels & Demons.  With all of the buzz (good and bad) that religious movies get, I am going to assume that you’ve heard of this movie.  It is based on another book by the infamous Dan Brown.  As I understand it, this book was actually first in Brown’s story following the main character, Robert Langdon.  You can kind of tell this in this recent installment of the movie series.

First of all, there are a lot of familiar faces in this movie.  There is Ewan McGregor, the bad guy from Eastern Promises, the terrorist girl from Vantage Point, the math dude from Good Will Hunting, the guy from nearly every prime time television show, the landlord from Spider-Man 3, and many more supporting cast members that you have seen all over on television and in movies.

The movie began on a bad note for me.  For some reason, the writer and director decided to over-do-it on reintroducing Robert Langdon, by having him tell us about the meanings of everything around him every few moments.  We get it!  He knows pretty much every symbol in the world. Can we move on?  Second, part of the opening sequence takes us underground with CERN, moving the camera in a downward spiral.  I don’t usually react to that, but even I was getting nauseous.

Once we get passed the previous complaints, I have one final one.  In the very beginning we are introduced to the female lead, Vittoria Vetra, played by Ayelet Zurer.  She has an obvious need to be in the plot at first, but then there is a whole middle section of the movie where I just couldn’t understand why she was tagging along with Langdon.  Considering the serious nature of what they were trying to do, she was much more useful and needed to stay at the Vatican.  (You will need to see the movie to see why.)

Beyond my previous gripes, the movie begins to grab hold of you, and we return to the suspenseful and mysterious plot laid out for us by the writers – which we became familiar with in the previous film, The Da Vinci Code.  We get taken through the clue solving by using all kinds of symbols and statues throughout Rome and the Vatican.

Howard does a great job, as usual.  He only gives us clues when he needs to, and in reflection, many of the clues only come to light after the movies reveals its final hidden clue near the end.  We are very easily misdirected from who is good and who is bad throughout the duration of the film.

At the end of the movie, I was definitely impressed.  There was plenty of action, and all of it was believable.  There was some technical things that were not believable to me, but that’s because I am a bit of a nerd.  The average movie watcher would not catch on to most of them.  Then there is the big elephant that is still in the room…  With these movies, there is the element of controversy in that the plot can easily be interpreted as being critical of Christianity, or more specifically, Catholicism.  In this installment, the main point of the movie can easily go undiscovered.  This movie revolves around the church and science battling each other.  At the end of the movie, the writers have the church and science working together.  Right or wrong with your beliefs, this is in the end just a movie – and it is a very entertaining one.

I would certainly endorse watching this movie in the theater.  I am very selective in what movies I pay to go see, versus which ones I wait for to come out later.

Artist/print-maker Nancy Previs has been observing and recording nature’s forms, textures and tones for many years. Fascinated by subtleties in light and color, she draws her inspiration from nature’s ability to generate beauty from what seem spontaneous and random processes.

To create her multi-plate intaglio prints, she uses consciously sustainable techniques, mainly aluminum and solarplate etching, along with drypoint or carborundum. Inspired by the essence of energy around us, “The Life Force of Landscape,” she re-works her own unr-etouched photographic images into traditional handmade multi-plate nature prints. These images capture nature’s simple beauty, especially that found in open spaces around the island of Ireland and on the East Coast of America.

Her work is held in collections in Ireland, USA, and the UK. She has had solo shows in Washington D.C. and New York; Group shows in New York, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Washington D.C.

The rebates would cost the city between $10 million and $50 million. The checks to average homeowners would range from $100 to $195, far short of the average $413 property tax increase homeowners can expect when bills hit the mail starting late this month.

In addition, a majority of city homeowners would be excluded from receiving rebates under three of the four options that mayoral financial aides discussed Tuesday during briefing sessions with aldermen. Under the most generous of the plans, about 219,000 of 425,000 homeowners would be eligible, and as few as 100,000 would be eligible under the least generous.

Crock-pot® vegetables are fresh or frozen vegetables that are prepared using a method of slow cooking. A Crock-pot® is a type of electric pot that cooks various types of foods without the use of a stove or oven. Most Crock-pots® feature three levels of cooking, which are low, medium, and high. It typically takes five to eight hours to prepare Crock-pot® vegetables, depending upon the recipe.

Most Crock-pot® vegetables are prepared as side dishes, although many are main entrees that include meat or chicken. Side dishes may include sliced fresh carrots and onions, as well as potatoes. A glaze may also be added to this type of Crock-pot® vegetable dish. Seasonings are often used when preparing Crock-pot® vegetables, and often include salt, pepper, and various herbs.

Crisp vegetables, such as squash and celery, are often used to make Crock-pot® roasted vegetables. Olive oil and garlic may be added for flavor. This type of roasted vegetable side dish takes about eight hours to prepare in a slow cooker.

Crock-pot® vegetables prepared as a main entree typically include cubed beef. Crock-pot vegetable stew is often made with beef stock or broth, as well as carrots, onions, and celery. As a variation, chicken vegetable stew may also be prepared in a Crock-pot®, with diced or cubed chicken.

Although Crock-pot® vegetables are often used as a side dish or entree, Crock-pot® soups may also be made with fresh or frozen vegetables. Canned or frozen mixed vegetables are easy alternatives to freshly chopped vegetables. Crock-pot® vegetable soup may also be made with canned tomatoes or tomato paste.

Another type of Crock-pot® vegetable recipe is made with rice. Often referred to as a rice and vegetable medley, this slow cooker meal is often served with warm cornbread. Chicken or chicken broth may also be added to this slow cooker meal. Wild rice pilaf may be made in a Crock-pot® with celery, onions, and chicken broth. A meatless variety of the Crock-pot® vegetable medley is appropriate for vegetarians.

Green bean casserole, which is typically prepared in a standard oven, may also be prepared using slow cooker techniques. In addition to frozen green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup may also be used. To give this slow cooker recipe a crunchy texture, some prefer to include canned French-fried onions. This Crock-pot® dish is best prepared on low heat for about five or six hours.

Feathered Neighbors Something To Squawk About

Residents of a neighborhood near downtown Georgetown have a big bird problem on their hands. Vultures have roosted over homes in Deshea Estates.

The 35-40 birds fly over the houses and clean their beaks on shingles and damage property. Residents say the vultures even hover over their pets.

Annoying they may be, the vultures are endangered species. Georgetown's mayor says getting rid of them is a problem. Police will start to send out loud explosions to disturb the birds nesting. For now Georgetown residents will have to get used their new feathered friends flying above.

Panel recommends raising SC's gas tax to fix roads

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A panel studying taxes in South Carolina is recommending an increase in the gasoline tax to fund road repairs.

The State newspaper reported the Tax Realignment Commission voted unanimously Thursday to recommend that the state's gas tax be raised a nickel a gallon.

South Carolina's current gasoline tax is 16 cents a gallon and hasn't changed since 1987. Commission member Kenneth Cosgrove says he doesn't anyone would disagree that the state's roads are in pretty bad shape.

The commission will send recommendations to state lawmakers, who return in January. Some lawmakers say they don't expect the General Assembly would approve any tax increases in the current economy.

The panel also is recommending lowering the 6% state sales tax to 5%, but eliminating the tax exemptions on many industries.

oh my garden time
A friend sent this to me...

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the res earch shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents c ervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Hope this helps us figure out what to grow this year we will be needing good food not from the stores.
........I love cats, I just cant eat a whole one by myself......

jayne...I never thought of this before. What a nice comparison of it all....love Red
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
What a great thread, and it makes so much sense.
makes you wanna go play in the dirt doesnt it?

Bucknell upsets Vanderbilt 75-72, Thomas scored 17

Posted: Updated:

Sports Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Zach Thomas scored 17 points and Stephen Brown and Nana Foulland both added 15 to lead Bucknell in a 75-72 upset of Vanderbilt in the campus portion of the Las Vegas Invitational on Monday night.

Kimball Mackenzie added two foul shots for Bucknell with 4.1 seconds left.

Foulland grabbed 12 rebounds.

Luke Kornet scored 19 points and Riley LaChance had 10 points and six assists for Vanderbilt (2-2).

Woman held captive in storage container files suit against Todd Kohlhepp

Kala Brown seeks payment of medical expenses, punitive damages

Kala Brown, Kohlhepp's Woodruff property
WYFF News 4
Kala Brown, Kohlhepp's Woodruff property
Woman held captive in storage container files suit against Todd Kohlhepp

Kala Brown seeks payment of medical expenses, punitive damages

A woman who was chained and held captive in a storage container for more than two months has filed a lawsuit against Todd Kohlhepp, the suspect in the case, who is also accused of killing seven people.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday by Kala Brown, seeks payment of current and future medical expenses and punitive damages to be determined by a jury.

Brown and her boyfriend, Charlie Carver, 32, were reported missing from Anderson on August 31.

Kohlhepp had hired the couple to clean up property he owns in Woodruff. The lawsuit says Kohlhepp took Brown hostage at gunpoint and chained and locked her inside a shipping container on the property.

Brown was rescued by Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Deputies on Nov. 3.

Carver’s body was found buried on the property.

The lawsuit says that during her imprisonment, Kohlhepp threatened, grabbed and hit Brown, causing her to suffer “severe emotional distress and other injuries.”

The attorneys handling the case, David Wyatt of Gleaton Wyatt, P.A. , and Jim Bannister and Alex Stalvey of Bannister Wyatt & Stalvey, LLC, issued the following statement:

“We have been retained to represent Kala Brown in assisting her with pursuing her remedies for the terrible wrongdoing she has endured. We appreciate the opportunity to assist Miss Brown in this difficult time. We have filed a civil action and will be pursuing her civil remedies. We are doing our best to support Miss Brown as she works to recover and turn this tragedy into a triumph. We have no further comment at this time.”

Kohlhepp, 45, is a realtor for TK & A Real Estate (Todd Kohlhepp & Associates LLC).

According to SLED records, Kohlhepp is also convicted sex offender who was added to the registry after being convicted of kidnapping in Arizona in 1987, when he was 16. He was accused of abducting and raping a 14-year-old friend at gunpoint.

Sheriff Chuck Wright said after Kohlhepp’s arrest in Brown’s abduction, he confessed that he had killed Beverly Guy, Scott Ponder, Brian Lucas and Chris Sherbert at Superbike Motorsports on Nov. 6, 2003.

Kohlhepp is also charged in the death of Meagan Leigh McCraw Coxie, 25, and her husband, Johnny Joe Coxie, 29, of Spartanburg. Their bodies were also found on Kohlhepp’s Woodruff property. They had been missing since December 2015.

Another lawsuit was filed against Kohlhepp earlier this month by a Spartanburg fence company.

Seegars Fence Company filed a suit Nov. 17 that says Kohlhepp owes a balance of $11,286 on a $15,048 fence.

The invoice for the fence describes it as about 1,800 feet of 6-foot tall residential chain-link fencing, with a 6-foot wide walk gate and a 12-foot wide drive gate.

The fence surrounds the Woodruff property where three bodies were found and Brown was held captive.

Our charming lil' Kitchen + Embracing Life

Jars, jars, and more jars. I think if I fill up enough jars, and keep everything as clean as possible, my kitchen will do a stand up job next to the best of 'em. Sure, it might not be everyones' thing, but I'm learning to love the cards I'm dealt.

Having kids (gosh guys, kid-ssss) has really put a magnifying glass up to my flaws. In trying to be better, one of my top priorities is learning to be more accepting of my "stuff". I want to love my body (even when it seems to be at its maximum capacity), my house (even when it is so far from my family), and my life.

I need to stop losing myself in the things of the past or future, and start immersing myself in the now. I need to close my eyes to comparisons and competitions, and open them to what I do have. If I am living in a world of laters, tomorrows, or just a minutes, who is living in the right now with my babies? A robot of tomorrows? That is just not what I want to be.

I want to be the barefoot pregnant waddling momma I am. Whispering to my son while we hide in the bushes from our yorkie terrier because that's what he asked me to do. That is the life I use to dream about as a kid, and I think it is about time I really start living in it.

If im not mistaken, the series is titled something like "America's Untold History". Or something similar.

As opposed to something like "the complete truth" etc.
It was just showing the other side to the narrative we've been fed.

Donald Trump, he will rise like the champion he is. End Obamacare. Demoralize countries that seek to challenge us. Make fun of fat obnoxious chicks like Rosie O Dumbass. He will WIN AT TRADE AND GIVE ILLEGALS THE BOOT. Donald is our champion.

Five Spartans Land on All-South Region Squad

Five Spartans Land on All-South Region Squad

YORK, PA - In the wake of the news of Jon Ports’ (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) first-team All-American selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, the York College men’s soccer team landed five Spartans on the All-South Region squad released by the NSCAA.  Ports, senior forward Andrew Wheeler (Baltimore, Md./Patapsco) and junior defender Evan Scheffey (Lititz, Pa./Warwick) earned first-team bids while senior defender Matt Beale (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) and senior forward Jason Mancuso (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) were third-team choices. York’s five overall selections is the greatest number of honorees in program history.

The accolades keep rolling in for Ports who, along with being a first-team All-American and first-team All-South Region, was also the Capital Athletic Conference Player of the Year and All-CAC first-teamer.  His 15 goals and 16 assists paced the York attack and helped catapult the Spartans to their second consecutive Elite Eight berth and final ranking of fifth in the country.

Wheeler’s third All-South nod, his second on the first-team, follows a senior campaign which saw him tally eleven goals and distribute eleven assists.  The forward finishes one of the most decorated careers in Spartan soccer history.  In addition to his trio of regional honors, Wheeler was a 2006 NSCAA and first-team All-American, 2006 CAC Player of the Year, a two-time CAC first-team selection.  His 45 career goals and 116 points rank him second all-time in York’s record books.

Scheffey, a junior captain, continues to lead the stellar green and white defense that allowed a measly 0.74 goals per game.  The defender’s strong tackles, knowledge of the game, and leadership abilities have allowed him to become a defensive linchpin for the Spartans.  In addition to his first regional award, Scheffey was named a 2006 third-team All-American, and is now a two-time All-CAC first-team pick.

Beale, one of the top defenders to ever step on the pitch in a Spartan uniform, completes his York career notching a third-team selection.  Since settling into his left-defender position as a sophomore, he has been part of a defensive unit that has produced a 0.67 goals against average over the past three seasons. The All-South choice is Beale’s third as a Spartan, previously garnering second- and third-team bids. The senior also captured All-CAC accolades as he landed on the first-team in 2005 and the second-team in 2006.

In his lone Spartan season, Mancuso made a major offensive impact for the green and white as he burst on the scene with 14 goals and seven assists.  Included in his 14 scores are a pair of game-winners.  Mancuso’s exploits also earned him All-CAC second-team honors in addition to his regional award.

The numerous post-season accolades are not only a testament to these talented individuals but also to the entire squad.

“Landing five players on the regional team is definitely the most we have ever had,” Spartan head coach Mark Ludwig said. “I believe it is a well deserved honor for each player and the team as a whole.”

Action-Adventure Video Games

Action-adventure video games are one of the other video games genre that combine adventure game genre and action game genre. These online video typically features long-term obstacles that should be overcome with the help of a tool or item as leverage. Action-adventure video games online primarily focus on exploration and usually involve item gathering, simple puzzle solving, and combat. These games are faster-paced than pure adventure games, because they include both physical and conceptual challenges. The first action-adventure video game was Atari 2600 game. However, some of the video action-adventure games include The Legend of Zelda and Tomb Rider.

Online action-adventure video games are divided into different sub genres. Some of the best action-adventure video games include action role playing games that features heavy emphasis on combat and real-time battle systems as well as the use of RPG game play aspects such as stats. First-person action-adventure video games are the games that use first-person shooter game play. These are action games in favor of important adventure game elements such as environmental problem-solving and a complex plot. However, Isometric platform video action-adventure games usually features environments with three dimensional game play, and two-dimensional graphics using an isometric projector.

Platform-adventure games are also one of the other types of online action-adventure video games that usually accentuate exploration and puzzle solving. These kinds of action-adventure video games also feature traditional platform game conventions. One of the first games of this genre was Metriod. However, Stealth games are recent action-adventure video games online that emphasize subterfuge and precision strikes over the more overt mayhem of shooters. Most have first- or third-person shooter elements. These games are commonly known as sneakers or creepers. Other recent action-adventure video games also include Survival horror games. These games mainly focus on fear and attempt to scare the player via traditional horror fiction elements including atmospherics, death, the undead, blood and gore.

Did you know this is Manufacturing Appreciation Week?

Friday, 21 October 2011 09:17 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Governor McDonnell declared October 17-21 as Manufacturing Appreciation Week for Virginia. This should come as no surprise to the many Virginians employed by the manufacturing industry — more than 200,000 of us. In the last few weeks alone, manufacturing companies across a variety of industries have signaled their confidence in Virginia’s workforce by locating or expanding their operations in the Commonwealth.

Federal-Mogul Corp., a global automotive supplier, plans to invest $10 million to expand its automotive engine bearing manufacturing facility in Blacksburg Industrial Park, bringing 50 new jobs to Montgomery County. Albany Industries, a manufacturer of upholstered household furniture, announced it will invest $2.5 million to establish production capabilities in Galax, Va. This investment represents Albany Industry’s first operation in Virginia and will bring 335 new jobs to Southwest Virginia.

On the international front, Axxor Group, a Netherlands-based producer of honeycomb, announced it will establish its first U.S. operation in Pittsylvania County in Southern Virginia. In 2006, Swedwood North America, a furniture manufacturer and subsidiary of IKEA, selected Virginia as the location for its first U.S. manufacturing facility. As Axxor Group is a major supplier of honeycomb to Swedwood’s furniture manufacturing operations, this investment is a natural outgrowth of that initial partnership.

Also arriving from across the pond is NBG Holding’s announcement to establish its first U.S. subsidiary, Fiber Cable Technology, in Botetourt county. The Austrian company will invest $5 million and create 25 new jobs to manufacture specialty optical fiber and optical cables for the defense and energy markets.

Whether manufacturing furniture or fiber optic cable, companies from all around the world have recognized the pro-business advantages a Virginia location offers.

Virginia Sails Closer to Becoming the Energy Capital of the East Coast

Thursday, 20 October 2011 17:21 by Info@YesVirginia.org

With October slated as Energy Month in Virginia, the announcement of a new wind turbine test facility moves the Commonwealth one step closer to becoming the Energy Capital of the East Coast. Named Poseidon Atlantic, the facility will be located in Northampton County on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. VEDP recently attended the AWEA Offshore Wind Expo where Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling announced this project at a dinner for industry stakeholders.

Poseidon Atlantic will be the first comprehensive testing facility of its kind in the U.S. What makes this project unique is its ability to both test and certify the entire wind turbine (as opposed to testing component parts). Poseidon Atlantic will be the only U.S. site able to perform comprehensive testing for both offshore and land-based turbines.

The Poseidon Atlantic team selected Virginia for this project due to its prime location, as the Commonwealth couldn’t be more well-positioned for the offshore wind industry. Virginia has the ideal combination of strong Class 6 winds along the coast combined with shallow waters that allow for the easy installation of turbines and testing pads. The Commonwealth also has the necessary infrastructure already in place including an experienced maritime workforce, access to a fully operational high voltage transmission grid close to shore, and a robust transportation network including the Port of Virginia, which has the deepest obstruction-free channels on the East Coast.

Given the current worldwide shortage of full-service testing centers, this project positions Virginia at the forefront of the industry. Certification is a critical final step in the R&D process as wind turbine manufacturers often seek IEC certification prior to bringing a product to market. The facility is expected to build up to ten testing pads, leasing these to wind turbine manufacturers and bringing the global offshore wind supply chain to Virginia’s shores.

In addition to Poseidon Atlantic, Virginia has attracted additional private sector interest from wind industry leaders over this past year. In February, Gamesa Technology Corp. and Newport News Shipbuilding jointly launched the Offshore Wind Technology Center to develop next-generation offshore wind systems. The two companies were already collaborating to launch Gamesa’s first offshore prototype, the G11X-5.0 MW. In early October, Apex Offshore Wind, LLC and Maersk Line, Limited joined forces and announced their partnership to develop utility-scale offshore wind energy projects.

Though still in its infancy, the wind industry could create thousands of jobs for Virginians and provide a renewable source of energy. With the global supply chain recognizing Virginia’s unique assets and setting up shop along the coast, the Commonwealth is poised to become a hub for the offshore wind industry and one step closer to claiming the title, Energy Capital of the East Coast.

Microsoft and Virginia - A Partnership for the Future

Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:31 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Virginia and Microsoft have partnered once again – not surprisingly as both are IT leaders who realize staying at the top requires investing in the future. This time, that investment takes the form of educating the Commonwealth’s public high school students as Virginia is only the third state in the nation to implement the Microsoft IT Academy Program. With an aggressive goal of full participation by the end of this school year, the program will support both students and teachers by making software and coursework available including everything from computer basics to programming to the opportunity to earn recognized Microsoft certifications.

Virginia is certainly no stranger to technology with the highest concentration of high-tech companies in the country according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Microsoft has demonstrated its understanding of Virginia’s pro-technology climate through the 2010 announcement of its investment of up to $499 million to locate its latest generation data center in Southern Virginia’s Mecklenburg County. This was followed by a recent announcement that the company would invest $150 million to expand this advanced data center and add 21 MW of electric power capacity.

The groundwork to attract Microsoft’s data center and support its educational offering for all Virginians was quite literally laid several years ago by the Mid-Atlantic Broadband Cooperative. In an effort to support underserved rural areas in Southern Virginia, MBC established an 800 mile open-access, fiber-optic broadband network. While this advanced network has attracted a flurry of Gigaparks and technology companies to the former tobacco region, the network will also provide high-speed internet access to more than 100 schools in Southern Virginia through a federal broadband stimulus program.

Beginning this school year, students in two Southern Virginia counties have been equipped with high speed broadband for the first time. Jumping from 45 Mbps to 100 Mbps is a significant leap that allows students and teachers to take full advantage of the internet, specifically improving video streaming and online collaboration. Establishing high speed connectivity in rural areas like Southern Virginia sets the stage for Microsoft’s IT Academy to be successful.  This will be truly be a statewide  program, allowing students everywhere to take full advantage of Microsoft’s online resources  in order to build the technical skills necessary to fuel Virginia’s booming IT industry.

Montgomery County Makes Inc. Magazine’s 500|5000 List for 2011

Tuesday, 27 September 2011 15:09 by Info@YesVirginia.org

With close to 300 Virginia companies on Inc. Magazine’s 2011 Inc. 500|5000 list of the fasting growing companies, the Commonwealth is very well represented. What is perhaps more impressive is the breadth of that representation, spanning multiple regions and industries. With our close proximity to the nation’s capitol, it is no surprise that more than 100 of these Virginia businesses were in the government services sector. However, the list of our top growing companies showed a healthy diversification across the IT, healthcare, business services, energy and education sectors as well. Virginia’s companies are growing in growth industries, which is great news for the Commonwealth.

Montgomery County is a microcosm illustrating this manifold growth. With three companies on the list in three different sectors, Montgomery County entrepreneurs exhibit the creativity and innovation Virginia is known for. Modea, a digital advertising agency, is a homegrown start-up with an impressive client list allowing for a new headquarters building and the addition of 200 employees over the next five years. UXB International is an environmental technology company specializing in demilitarization and weapons removal that has moved to Montgomery County to take advantage of the Virginia Tech Research Center. Harmonia Holding Group is another local startup catering to the software and systems engineering needs of the military and federal agencies from its headquarters, also located at the Virginia Tech Research Center.

A Success for Dex

Tuesday, 20 September 2011 11:43 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Who doesn’t love to hear a success story – especially one from right here in Virginia? Dex, a division of Arrow Truck Sales, dismantles used Mack and Volvo trucks to harvest components for reuse on other trucks. With more than 2.7 million heavy-duty trucks in operation in the U.S., there is a growing market for quality used parts.

Five years after signing a lease for a building space in Floyd Regional Commerce Center in Floyd, Virginia, Dex has reached its reuse and recycling goal. The challenge required Dex to reuse or recycle every component part of the heavy-duty trucks they acquire. While most parts were marketable for resale, Dex had to find new markets for items like glass, plastics, rubber or damaged pieces.

This extensive sorting and processing required extra time and resources, but given their core value of environmental care Dex remained committed to reaching their goal.

Dex’s facility in Floyd has 29 full-time employees. The company has outgrown the 50,000-square-foot space and is leasing other temporary space. With this growth they are also looking toward the future and are currently working on the design aspects of products to ensure Mack and Volvo trucks produce zero landfill waste.

David Ingram, Chairman of Floyd County’s Board of Supervisors, said, “We are very glad that Dex chose Floyd County five years ago. Every job they’ve added is important.”

Congrats Dex!

Center for Advanced Engineering and Research Opens in Bedford County

Friday, 9 September 2011 10:12 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Last month, Bedford County and the Virginia Region 2000 Partnership announced the opening of the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research (CAER).  Held August 25th, the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated the fruition of a project that involved extensive regional collaboration over the course of several years.

With an overflowing parking lot, more than 100 public officials and business leaders attended the ceremony and got a first look at the new 30,000-square-foot facility. Businesses such as Babcock & Wilcox, Areva and Innovative Wireless Technologies, as well as the University of Virginia, have all secured space. The Region 2000 Partnership will continue to work toward securing more companies and organizations for the Center, which will be used 70% for research, 20% for community and outreach and 10% for administrative support.

Speaking on behalf of Governor Bob McDonnell, Virginia’s Secretary of Technology Jim Duffy praised the partnerships that were fostered to open the center, and spoke of the “brightest minds” that will use the Center for research.

The goal of CAER is to be an industry-focused regional research and development center that drives the development of innovative products and processes by providing local access to university and federal research and inventions. It will target growth industries specific to the region, and will put university innovations into action through practical implementation in industry. CAER aims to increase the competitiveness for core, high-wage industries and improve the long-term prospects of existing industrial employers by creating a knowledge-based research hub for the region.

Bill Guzek of the CAER Board of Directors said, “The center is meant to be an economic engine for the region. This is just the beginning.”

More information regarding CAER can be found on their website.

Have You Heard?

Tuesday, 16 August 2011 15:02 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Just over a month after being named America’s Top State for Business by CNBC, Virginia has received another No. 1 ranking. The Commonwealth has been named the most pro-business state in the country by the 2011 Pollina Corporate Real Estate study: “Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2011: The Rise of the West.” Not only is it the third consecutive year that Virginia has taken home top honors, the Commonwealth won the 2011 top-ranking by the largest victory margin in the history of the study.

In its eighth year, the study is considered the “Gold Standard” in evaluating states by using a comprehensive ranking system based on factors ranging from taxes, right-to-work legislation, infrastructure spending and economic incentive programs.

This year, Virginia lead over the number two spot by 44 points and was dubbed, “the brightest star on the American Flag,” in terms of its pro-business climate. But it’s not just our top spot status that garners such a prestigious title – the Commonwealth has held the top spot five times since the study began, with second place finishes in 2005 and 2006 and third place in 2008. Our consistent presence among the top pro-business states is proof that the Commonwealth has been and will continue to be open for business.

Virginia’s pro-business reputation was also reaffirmed this year by our second place finish in the Labor, Taxes and Other Factors category and our first place finish in the Incentives and Economic Development Agency Factors, which sites the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) as one of the “finest economic development organizations in the nation.” The Commonwealth also performed strongly in the Education and Infrastructure categories and continues to shine on its Report Card.

All of us at VEDP couldn’t be prouder to represent our state and are committed to keeping Virginia the best state for business.

Virginia Companies Join Forces

Monday, 8 August 2011 09:37 by Info@YesVirginia.org

Boeing Information Solutions, of Arlington, Virginia, is joining forces with another Virginia-based company – Solutions Made Simple Inc. (SMSI).  Based in Reston, Virginia, SMSI is an information services provider that is known for its Twister data integration framework products.

Prior to the acquisition, Boeing worked with SMSI over the past several years and, according to John Hinshaw, Boeing’s vice president and general manager of Information Solutions, believes this will be a “better, more cost-effective way to manage data across disparate networks.”.  SMSI’s technology takes complex layers of information that are housed in an unlimited number of applications and various data sources, and makes that information easily available for users to access and extract. This type of technology is what Hinshaw sees as a “strong complement to [Boeing’s] existing capabilities.”

SMSI currently employs approximately 65 people. For additional information click here.

Virginia named #1 for Economic Growth Potential

Wednesday, 3 August 2011 09:31 by Info@YesVirginia.org

When you’re on the top, it’s not just about being number one – it’s about staying there. In June, CNBC named Virginia America’s Top State for Business, and now, Business Facilities magazine has ranked Virginia #1 for Economic Growth Potential, an award that all of us here in the Commonwealth plan to see to fruition.

The study took a hard look at factors like job creation, project development, incentives and workforce. It also took into account the state’s growth strategy; including the depth and breadth of incentives, as well as partnerships among state and local governments, educational institutions and businesses.

Virginia has done its part to help keep its business climate positive, including the formation of the Economic Development and Job Creation Commission and the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing. Both aim to carry out Virginia’s goal of more jobs and investment for the Commonwealth now and in the future.

Check out the article in Business Facilities for the full rankings.

MDMA or “Molly” is about to be the subject of the world’s first clinical trial looking into therapeutic benefits of the drug particularly as it pertains to alcohol addiction.

Researchers at Imperial College London have been granted ethical approval to conduct a small MDMA test trial on 20 patients seeking help for alcoholism after repeated failures. For the first time ever, participants will undergo psychotherapy sessions, “while under the influence of 99.99 percent pure MDMA” to treat such addictions.

MDMA, the active ingredient in Ecstasy, creates feelings of love, social connection and empathy, that researchers believe will make participants more susceptible to help offered in psychotherapy sessions.

Similar effects have made therapy in overcoming PTSD more effective.

“It’s using drugs to enhance the relationship between the therapist and the patient, and it allows us to dig down and get to the heart of the problems that drive long-term mental illness,” an involved clinical psychiatrist Ben Sessa said.

“We know that MDMA works really well in helping people who have suffered trauma and it helps to build empathy. Many of my patients who are alcoholics have suffered some sort of trauma in their past and this plays a role in their addiction,” he continued.

Further research on the benefits of MDMA, including treating PTSD and people with autism who suffer from social anxiety, are also being explored and just scratch the surface of what researchers are beginning to explore.

In a country in the grips of evil, in a police state where every move is being watched, in a world where justice and honor have been subverted, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power decide to take action. Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film, VALKYRIE, based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (CRUISE) and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, X-MEN, SUPERMAN RETURNS) re-teams with Academy Award®-winning USUAL SUSPECTS screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie to bring to life the story of the men who led the operation to assassinate Hitler. The film also stars an acclaimed cast including Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard, Christian Berkel and Terence Stamp. A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is a loyal officer who serves his country all the while hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing that time is running out, he decides that he must take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitler's own emergency plan ? known as Operation Valkyrie ? these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government from the inside. With everything in place, with the future of the world, the fate of millions and the lives of his wife and children hanging in the balance, von Stauffenberg is thrust from being one of many who oppose Hitler to the one who must kill Hitler himself. VALKYRIE is produced by Bryan Singer, Christopher McQuarrie and Gilbert Adler. McQuarrie co-wrote the original screenplay with Nathan Alexander who also serves as co-producer. The executive producers are Chris Lee, Ken Kamins, Daniel M. Snyder, Dwight C. Schar and Mark Shapiro. The film was shot in Germany at various locations where many of the actual events occurred, including the historic Bendlerblock. Recreating the atmosphere of urgency and paranoia inside the German resistance is a team that includes Singer's frequent collaborators Newton Thomas Sigel (SUPERMAN RETURNS, X2, X-MEN) as director of photography and editor/composer John Ottman (SUPERMAN RETURNS, X2); as well as production designers Lilly Kilvert (two-time Oscar-nominee for THE LAST SAMURAI and LEGENDS OF THE FALL) and Patrick Lumb (THE OMEN) and costume designer Joanna Johnston (MUNICH, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN).

The world of social media arrests and prosecutions

What happens when a tweet or Facebook page becomes of interest to the law?

Five years ago, the idea of being arrested for a tweet or Facebook post may have seemed laughable.

However, as both the general public and governmental agencies begin to use social networks, the potential behind the exchange of information instantaneously on a global platform has been understood. Not only can social media be used as a valuable learning tool, news resource or marketing treasure trove, it is also used for criminal purposes.

Governments across the world are now keeping social media activity on the radar, and sometimes acting within their legal jurisdiction if they come across something that raises the hackles on their neck.

The latest example is that of a U.S. marine who may get the sack for an 'anti-Obama' Facebook page -- more and more people are finding themselves on the wrong side of the law for their online activities.

What are some of the recent examples of such clashes with the law, and what were the results?

See also - Gallery: Social media charges and prosecutions

1.) Bound, gagged and posted on Facebook

Andre Curry, 21, of South Racine Avenue, was charged with aggravated domestic battery and unlawful restraint after an image of his one year-old daughter was posted on Facebook -- bound in duct tape.
His attorney said it was 'a joke', and the photo was taken down afterwards, possibly reported as abusive on the social networking site.

The photo appeared to show the girl with her hands bound in duct tape, and a strip covered her mouth. A caption with the photo read, "This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back."

Facebook’s site security says content that is “hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence” is not allowed on the site.

Result: Curry pleaded not guilty and his family were able to post ten percent of his $30,000 bond for his release. Pending trial, he is not allowed access to the Internet or to see his daughter.

2.) YouTube racism results in charges

On a South London train service from the Croydon to Wimbledon, UK, a woman was recorded exploding in a furious tirade against other train passengers. After the video was uploaded to YouTube, it went viral -- resulting in both the media and police's attention.

In the video, a 34 year-old woman lets loose a barrage against different groups -- including 'black', Polish and 'brown people' not being English, and that they should 'sort their own countries out'. She then engages in arguments with other passengers, who are of various backgrounds, all the while holding a small boy in her lap.

Result: After 11 million views, a plethora of YouTube responses, social media outrage and a 'kill the beast' mentality, the woman was charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and one with intent to cause fear. Her address has been widely circulated on Facebook and Twitter and there were numerous death threats. The case has been taken to Crown Court after no plea was submitted.

3.) You're going to destroy America? You won't even step foot here.

Two British tourists were barred from entering the United States after joking on Twitter about 'destroying America' when they visited for a holiday. The two teenagers, Leigh Van Bryan and Emily Bunting, did not realize that U.S. law enforcement agencies were following their Twitter feeds.

The tweet in question stated:

'Free for a quick gossip/prep this week before I go and destroy America?x'

Not only this (although in the UK 'to destroy' also means 'to party'), but American agents also took umbrage concerning a tweet that followed -- joking that they planned to 'dig up Marilyn Monroe'.

Once the pair arrived in Los Angeles, in anticipation for a three-week holiday, they were held under armed guard and placed in cells overnight. Van Bryan said:

"It's almost funny now but at the time it was really scary. The Homeland Securityagents were treating me like some kind of terrorist. I kept saying they had got the wrong meaning from my tweet but they just told me 'you’ve really f***ed up with that tweet, boy'."

Result: The teenagers were interrogated for five hours on suspicion of planning to commit crimes, held overnight, and then sent back to Britain the following day. If they wish to return to the U.S., they must apply to London's U.S. embassy for visas. Apparently, they were also searched for shovels.

4.) The world of Trolling

Sean Duffy, 25, from Reading, Berkshire, posted hurtful remarks on pages set up in remembrance of girls who had died across Facebook. Taking advantage of 'anonymity' to troll online meant that Duffy,
even though he had never met any of the girls who had died, sent abusive messages and posted the remarks across multiple pages. He also reportedly repeated the same abusive behavior on tribute websites.

His victims included the family of Worcester teenager Natasha MacBryde who killed herself after being bullied. The specific charges brought against him were related to the 15 year-old, and involved both Facebook and YouTube posts.

Result: Duffy was jailed for 18 weeks for his online activity, and banned for 5 years from social networking sites.

5.) Facebook contempt of court

A female juror stood trial after being accused of contempt of court after she allegedly sent messages to a defendant through Facebook. This action caused a multi-million dollar drug trial to collapse.

As a first in the British legal system, the 40 year-old was prosecuted for exchanging messages on Facebook with one of the defendants she had been trying. Mrs.Fraill of Manchester was also accused of using the Internet to research the case, against the judge’s explicit orders.

The sentencing judge said her actions "constituted flagrant breaches of the orders made by the judge for the proper conduct of the trial."

Result: Fraill, a mother-of-three with three stepchildren, was jailed for eight months – spending last Christmas behind bars.

This is a burger building PSA for people who want to make good burgers. I started this project because I love making burgers and I wanted to share my process visually. It was also a good way to practice typography under the format of infographics. The research portion of the process was fairly simple as these are instructions that I am already familiar with. The most challenging portion of this design was to say what I needed to say and not overcrowd the page.

This project started off as a logo design for a coffeehouse. I decided to take the project a little further and apply the same aesthetics to menu and to-go coffee cups.

These are several graphics intended for print on T-Shirts or Tote bags. The process varies for each design. Some are done by hand and vectorized, and others are created digitally.

This is an example of a logo design project that I started for a solar company. I came up with Constant Solar because I wanted to work with a name that has two words. I eventually landed on incorporating the graphical interpretation of the solar system as the concept of the logo.

Some examples of illustrations in poster format.

10 Wonderful Reasons To Shop On the internet

Australia is identified as a single of the top travel destinations in the globe for its spectacular beaches and distinctive wildlife, but what about its shopping experience? 1 of the most critical benefits of the on the web shopping for clothing is that you can acquire your garments regardless of what time it is. If you usually are engaged with perform at the office till late, deal with your kids for the duration of day, getting classes at the university and it seems that you never have enough time for shopping, acquiring your apparel online is the excellent resolution. No matter whether shopping for unique occasions, or for your day-to-day specifications-the tech savvy folks can do it all from the comforts of their house. No matter whether it is books, trendy fashionable clothing, fashion jewelry, kitchen essentials, bags or something-you name it and it is accessible on the Internet. On merits and demerits of on the web shopping I will say that merits outnumber demerits.

The Integration of the Suburban Shopping Center with its Surroundings: Redmond Town Center (PhD Dissertation) University of Washington. Yet another poor shopping behavior I’ve noticed even though shopping includes, individuals sampling or taste-testing meals while shopping. America at the Mall: The Cultural Part of a Retail Utopia (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2012) 263 pp. In this case, I will attach the wheelchair to a specially developed shopping trolley. There are more tricks to find out in the game so this second mall continues the tutorial mode. As we live in the era of smart phones and Google, we access to internet nearly everywhere shopping for clothes on the internet is such an entertainment. I generally try to get to the mall at least ten – 15 minutes before the shops open.

These apps let retailers offer smartphone primarily based coupons that cost nothing at all to create and distribute, send loyal clients coupons as rewards for repeat enterprise, create tailored digital coupons for those who have not shopped with the retailer for a whilst, directly reward these who engage in digital word of mouth marketing and advertising with deals and track user activity with both the app and site in extraordinary detail. The mall has dedicated sections for clothing, little ones supplies, entertainment and has over two million square feet of space for corporate offices. Even so, I have a tendency to spend much more time hunting for him than I do shopping for the products on the list! You never need to devote the whole day on your feet, walking from 1 shop to yet another with heavy bags in your hands. The benchmark of this mall is 20-storey 5-star hotel in the mall operated by JW Marriott.

One particular evening when shopping with my daughter I carelessly flung my car door open and accidentally hit the automobile subsequent to me. Following inspecting the vehicle for harm and seeing none I started walking towards the store. Discover all the rewards, disadvantages, prospective traps and cautions …

Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) is a very important weed management strategy.  EDRR aims to utilize a variety of surveying methods in order to detect new invasive species. This prevents these species from becoming established and becoming difficult to control or eradicate. Following the detection of a new infestation an appropriate rapid response is enacted. This often includes repeated monitoring and if necessary recurrent treatments to ensure successful eradication.

EDRR makes sense for several reasons:

          • Economically, it is much more efficient to control a couple of plants as opposed to a couple of acres of plants.
          • Environmentally, if a pesticide is required to control the new invasion, much less is used to control the target species if it is treated before it has spread too far.
          • Stopping a new invader before it establishes in the ecosystem can reduce the potential for further spreading and reproduction of the invasive population as well as negative transformative impacts to the ecosystem; which are often associated with invasive species.
          • Rapid responses can alert other concerned entities to the location of the infestations so that they can begin focused prevention and surveying efforts.
          • The EDRR management philosophy works whether the area is your yard, your county, or your state.
          • EDRR programs are a great opportunity for the public to become involved in the detection of new invasive species.

EDRR 2In response to the need for developing and coordinating a state-wide EDRR network, in 2007 the Wyoming Weed & Pest Council established an EDRR Committee. The committee consists of members of each of the six Wyoming Weed & Pest Council areas, the Wyoming Department of Agriculture’s Weed & Pest Program Coordinator, the Cooperative Agriculture Pest Survey Coordinator, the University of Wyoming’s Extension Weed Specialist, the State Mapping Coordinator, as well as many volunteers and at large members.

The committee is in the process of multiple tasks including; the creation of reporting protocols, creating presence/absence maps to facilitate EDRR efforts between neighboring counties, response planning, identifying potential EDRR species, creation of education materials and presentations including a new YouTube video, connecting to other EDRR networks and communicating with neighboring states, and distributing EDRR alerts. The EDRR Committee actively promotes the use of EDDMapS the Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System through its website and mobile applications. This helps facilitate a national network and database for EDRR. Please visit or to learn more or to start helping with EDRR efforts.

Supporting EDRR programs and using it as a management strategy helps save time, money, and most importantly it helps protect the integrity and health of your ecosystem.

It's that time of year. Love is in the air. With that comes lots of Valentine's Day school activities, which also means the dreaded Valentine's Day boxes.

I received the letter in my daughter's book bag to start working on a Valentine's Day box, and I thought it would be easy.

Step 1 - Check Pinterest: (what would we do without Pinterest?) WHAT WAS I THINKING!!?? My daughter wants to make every princess castle, Minion, My Little Pony, and Trolls Valentine's Day Box. We must have pinned 100 boxes. These things are more elaborate and detailed than a Picasso painting. Now there ARE simple ones, but which parent wants to send their kid to school with a "simple" Valentine's Day box?

Step 2 - Get Supplies: I am not a very crafty person, so off to the craft store we go. Glitter, stickers, wrapping paper, glue, markers and $25 later we are ready to assemble the box.

Step 3 - Put Box Together: We have the supplies and the instructions and it's now time to attempt to make the box look like the Pinterest picture. Two hours later, after much laughing (and some crying), we now have a mess bigger than the the state of Texas. But the Valentine's Day box is complete. It may not be a Picasso, but for me, and most importantly my daughter, it was good enough. Sorry no pictures, I didn't want to embarrass my daughter TOO much.

I think maybe next year, I'll take the advise of Jenna Rubison-Begley of Shelbina. In what's become an annual tradition, Jenna says what we're all thinking when it comes to the dreaded Valentine's Day boxes.

I want it Wednesday

In this week's spotlight is a book that caught my attention. It was the title and the cover that made me go "hmmm." Then I read the summary. This is a book that I think will fly off my library shelf.

Here is a summary from Kirkus:
Traumatized teen fights for her emotional and physical well-being when her child-molester father is released early from prison. A social pariah in her small post-Megan's Law New Jersey town (where even the pizza man won't deliver to her condo), 15-year-old Meredith had expected nine peaceful years after her father was convicted of abusing her and several other children. So when he is freed for "good behavior" after only three, she is shaken to the core, feeling trapped. She initially tries to avoid him, in spite of her clueless mother's determination that they reconcile as a family, but it becomes clear almost immediately that he has not changed, and is still obsessed with her. She seeks help in her neighbor Andy, a disabled young man confined to a wheelchair. Like her, Andy's suffered an abusive past, but chooses to drown his pain in alcohol and prayer. Prompted by his evangelical mother, he plans a trip to see a faith healer just when Meredith needs him most. She also has an ally in her incredulous grandmother, who takes steps to gain custody of the girl-before it's too late. But stunned by the news that her parents are trying for another baby, Meredith decides on her own to take extreme action to ensure that no other child has to experience the horror that she went through.
