Imemlional Use 01 DeceHi and Fraud In "*he SOldhe....oldlinas Case

By Paul Gable

Looking further into the judge's denial order, dated August 13, 2008, of a motion to vacate the judgment and rescind the setHement agreement of May 9, 2007 in the Southern Holdings et al. v. Harry County et al. lawsuit, one wonders if the judge can read and comprehend the English language.

In his denial order of Judge R Bryan Harwell recogntzesthat Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure "provides that a court may relieve a party or its legal rep-

I resentatve from a final judgment, order, or , proceeding for one or more of the following reasons ... " Reason number 3 in Harwell's discussion states, "3) fraud, misrepresentaI lion, or misconduct by an opposing party;"

later in his denial, Harwell stated, "On the surface, Plaintiffs allegations appear to constitute serious misconduct, which, If true, could warrant a new trial, sanctions, and discipline by the State bar. However, upon closer examination, the court is simply unable to find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct."

Fraud is defined as "the intentional use of decelt"in the Law.com online legal dictionary:

Contrary to the judge's conclusions quoted above, the evidence clearly demonstrates

_ fraud, misrepresentation and misconduct on the part of the defendants (Horry County, Horry County police officers and Horry County Sheriff's deputies) and their attorneys.

Videotapes recorded in the police cars of Harry County Police officersJay Brantley and Chuck McLendon were key pieces of evidence in the lawsuit.

Even though the original videotapes, recorded by an in car video camera, were requested by the plaintiffs, only copies of the videotapes were provided to plaintiff's videotape analysis expert Steve Cain on March 2, 2004 with the notation that the "original videotapes of the incident were not available."

In Cain's report to Plaintiff's attomey Michael Goldberg, dated March 16, 2004, he noted a number of anomalies in the tapes that indicate ''the possibility of insert editing."

"All of the above anomalies cast serious doubt concerning the authenticity of portions of the original videotape from which Exhibit Q- 2 was reportedly manufactured by the Horry County Police Department," Cain concluded.

When Danny Parris, Senior Litigation Consultant of the Office of Insurance Reserve Fund of the S.C. State Budget and Control Board (the agency that was on the hook to pay any monetary judgments awarded to the plaintfffs) learned that the plaintiffs were alleging the tapes were edited, he sent a letter dated November 23, 2004 to Major Mark Keel of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division.

In theletler Parris stated, "As you are aware, the Budget and Control Board does not wish to be placed. in a position of defending criminal actions or apparently paying off victims of abuse if such has oocurred. The original tape of the stop is in the possession of our defense attorney, Robert E Lee, of the

Aiken Bridges Firm in Florence. The tape was given directly to him by the sheriffs department.

"If at all possible, we are asking SLED to take possession of the tape to use your expertise in determining If the tape has in fact been altered."

The plaintiffs had been trying since August 2000, through a series of subpoenas, motions and court orders, to get the original tapes for analysis without ever being able to obtain them. As noted above, Cain was told the original videotapes were "not avaiable," Yet, Parris clearly contradicted that statement when he told SLED the originals were in the possession of the Budget and Control Board's defense attomey. I ntentiona Ii use of dece.itis fraud,

To make matters worse, the defendants and their attomeys concocted a scheme to get the tapes "analyzed" by the FBI in clear violation of federal law,. which states that the FBI may not analyze any evidence in a civil case that the federal government or any of its agencies are not a party to.

SLED sent the tapes to the FBI on December 15,2004, accompanied by a letter from Captain David CaldWell of SLED to Kerry Haynes of the FBI. Caldwell's letter stated in part," Judge R Bryan Harwell of the U.S. District Court has ordered that SLED deliver to the FBI the three (3) enclosed VHS videotapes for the purpose of examination to determine if they have been altered or edited."

Also accompanying the tapes was Court Order 127, signed by Harwell on December 10,2004. The defendants attorneys claimed on many occasions that 127 was an order by Harwell to have the tapes analyzed by the FBI.

Harwell, on the other hand, denied he ordered the FBI to examine the tapes and said 127 was merely a "shepherding order" for the tapes.

The court record' clearly shows during a February 9, 2007 motions hearing Harwell stated, on page 10 of the hearing transcript, "Because of the seriousness ot a claim that the videotapes have been altered, SLED wanted to look at it with the help of the FBI to do their own independent review of it. Is that

correct?"

On page 10 of the transcript, attomeyJay Saleeby, representing Horry County in the case, responds, ''When there is a claim of that nature, a local law enforcement agency is being investigated by SLED, so SLED wanted to take the tapes. SLED does not have the capacity to evaluate the tapes themselves, that is why SLED thought it necessary to send it to the FBI."

Saleeby clearly is being deceitful in his answer. Parris told SLED to get the tapes, there was no investigation going on. SLED told the FBI the tapes were being sent to it by court order. The judge says SLED wanted to look at the tapes with the help of the FBI to do their own independent review. Intentional use of deceit is fraud.

To demonstrate how creative Saleeby can

be with the truth, we will .investigate a different version of the tape story subrntted by him for the court record.

In an April 13,. 2007 response signed by Saleeby and submitted to the court as "Defendants'

Opposition to

Plaintiffs' Second

Motion to strike Noel Herold as an Expert Witness, Saleeby stated, "In late 2004,. pursuant to the Order of this Court, Herold analyzed 3 videotapes sent 10 the FBI by SLED in order to detennine whether or not the tapes had

been intentionally edited or otherwise tampered with .... Thus, should the Court permit Steve Cain to testtfy, Herold's testimony will be crucial to rebut it."

Here, Saleeby contradicts his statement of two months before by now saying the examination of the tapes was ordered by the court .. Intentional use of deceit is fraud.

Three weeks later, Saleeby is back in court and his story changes again.

Harwell again addressed the issue of a court order for the tapes to be examined during a May 4, 2007 motions hearing.

Harwell ssid, "Buttet me raise something.

I'm doing this because I take my obligation seriously, as those of you who know me or who have known me a long time. I was glanc~ ing through the videotape deposition of Mr. Herold, and there was not an objection made, but I think it's incumbent on me to sua sponte raise it, and I'm not implying that there was any intentional mischarac!erization at ali, but Mr. Herold was not, to my knowledge,. a 706 court-appointed expert I signed a consent order that the lawyers gave me, that basically dealt with shepherding these tapes around, and that was in 2004. I don't know whether y'all intended it to be a 706 expert, but I don't think this order designated him a 706 courtappointed expert."

Harwell asks Saleeby If that is correct and he responds, "Absolutely your Honor."

Sandra Senn, attomey for the Harry County Police Department,. questions how the tapes got to the FBI If Harwell didn't order it.

Senn: ulf your honor didn't, how did it get to the FBII'

Harwell: "It got to the FBI, asl understand it, because it was already in the process of being turned over."

WRONG judge!!!

Read the letter of SLED to the FBI, whioh specifically states, " Judge R Bryan HarweU of the U.S. District Court has ordered that SLED deliver to the FBI the three (3) enclosed VHS videotapes for the purpose of examination to determine If they have been

altered or edited."

SLED says you ordered the tapes to go to the FBI. Saleeby says you did and you didn't, depending. what he is addressing at the time. You say you did not order the tapes to go to the FBI,. yet they did in violation of the law.

I n another interesting aspect of the case, on September 22,2003, Judge W. Stanley Houck. the judge on the case before he was replaced by Harwell, issued a minute order ''for the Horry County defendants to tum over by December 1, 2003, for examination by plaintiffs' forensic experts (1 ) the actual. unedited "original" police videotapes recorded at the scene on August 6,2000 (2) both cameras and recorders used to record' the "original" police videotapes at the scene ... "

The cameras and recorders were permanently instaJled in the police cruisers used by the respective officers. Brantley's cruiser was taken out of service on October 11, 2003, according to Horry County records, resulting in the loss of the camera and recorder installed in th.e car and used to record the originaJ tapes of the August 6, 2000 incident.

When later questioned on this, Horry County Police Chief Johnny Morgan submitted an affidavit to the court stating that there was no record of what happened to the camera and recorder and the county's attomey initially stated that the vehicle was removed from service in 2001.

I ntentionaI use of deceit is fraud. Fraud is a reason to ''warrant a new trial, sanctions, and discipline by the State bar," according to your own denial order Judge Harwell.

Yet, you, judge, conclude, "However, upon closer examination,. the court is simply unable to find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct."

I submit to you judge, the only reason you can't find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct is either because you are no! able to read and comprehend the evidence presented in the court record in clear English, or you don'! want to.

Intentional use of deceit is fraud.

COMMENTARY

The G,reat Disenchantment

By Rich Lowry

The BP spill won't destroy Barack Obama's presidency. It won't even significantly dent his standing in polls, if current trends hold. But il should mark the end of a period of unbridled liberal presumption that began with his rise in 2007,

In h.is new book, "The Icarus Syndrome," author Peter Beinart writes of "hubris bubbles" that infect American foreign policy after successes .. In the domestic arena, liberalism has been riding its most expansive hubris bubble since lyndon Johnson modestly declared on the cusp of the Great Society, "These are the most hopeful times since Christ was born."

Those millennial expectations returned with the honeyed words of Obama. He promised to heal the planet and turn back the lide of rising. oceans, and liberals believed him. So when a mere 35,000- 60,000 barrels of oil, a day gushing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico produced a crisis beyond his control, they lashed oulin frustration.

Obama had 10 get angry! He had 10 declare war - and without U.N. authoriza- tion - on the spill! He had to use the crisis to push through cap-and-trade! And when

Obarna followed all the stage directions set out for him by his formerly worshipful journalistic boosters, they still feltemply and unsatisfied because, well, there are really no presidential words or emotions that can make up for miles of soiled coastline.

Obarna's much-touted Oval Office address on the Gulf got instantly panned by MSNBC's analysts in a shocker equivalent to Pravda's best pundits dismissing a Brezhnev five-year plan. They complained that the speech was trite and vague,. as if that made it any different from most of Obama's gaseous oeuvre His call to arms on behalf of a new green economy was particularly tinny for two reasons.

One, Democrats have tapped out the public's appetite for expensive.Impossibly complex newg.ovemmenl programs. They forced their will on health-care reform, but it remains unpopular. No one believes Obama has the votes for a farreaching plan to remake the energy econamy, so he stuck to the same bromides repeated by every president since Jimmy Carter.

Two, the Gulf Coast is not a reassuring backdrop for a stirring summons 10 more government action. Obama cited the production of planes and tanks during World War II and the Apollo mission to the moon as evidence of government's awesome proficiency. But those were relatively straightforward feats in manufacturing and rocketry from 70 and 40 years ago, respectively.

The largest spill in U.S. history was going to be a chaotic mess regardless of who was president,because it was unprecedented, vast and complex. The liberal chest-pumping about declaring

"war," or even a "holy crusade," on the spill speaks to an impatience with the inevitable delays and inefficiencies of a government operating ~ in league with a hated company ~ in confusing circumstances.

Welcome to soggy reality. The great liberal disenchantment is the realization that it's beyond Obama's powers to turn back an oil spill, let along the tides. He's just a president, and not even a particularly good one.

Rich LOWry is editor of the National Review.

like the birther movement concerning the Obama birth certificate, the MBTP has its own questions. "Tim Adams, the Chief Elections Clerk in Hawaii in 2008, tells James Edwards that thereis no birth certificate on file for Obama in Hawaii." The story cannot end because every time you look into this the more cuestions it raises. The sameis true for luke Towery, president of the Myrtl.e Beach Tea Party (herein referred to as MBTP).

Remember these were as luke Towery put it "Dozens of wild and crazy claims".

A few members took it upon themselves to do a simple google check. Now everyone has a history, a name, an address, former residence, a spouse, an ex-spouse and so on. Ever time someone looked there was no information beyond the MBTP. With the expenditure of money almost any information can be obtained about someone. Still there is nothing to report. Since this man bragged to members, he was able to hide his identity, there were more theories than the Kennedy assassination. Why would anyone want to brag about hiding their identity

when they head an organization that supports transparency? The questions started to mount up. The more denials that were given without fact the more theories arose. When you are part of a tea party and deal with the Obama administration, anything is possible .. I don'! want anyone to take this as fact, we have no facts, that is the problem. I ask, googleil yourself. I will be willing to eat crow and post a retraction if I am wrong. The problem is so many have tried and no one is successful. We have no idea if this is a transient or a SEIU labor union member. The more people looked and talked the more evidence came out.

New Study on Food Addiction.s Shows Why You Crave Unhealthy Food

By www.SixWise.com

Obesity in adults has increased by 60 percent within the past 20 years and obesity in children has Iripledin the past 30 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Cravings are just one of many causes of increasing levels of obesity, and many struggle with food addictions that make it virtually impossible to stop eating when they're full .. Instead, the scale creeps up ever higher while those affected battle on a daily basis with the very food they need to slay alive.

In fact, food addictions can be very much like addictions 10 alcohol, caffeine or Illegal drugs, but while a drug addict can eventually shun the substance that is luring them, a food addict must learn to balance healthy eating with food cravings and overeating, as simply "quitbng eating" cold turkey is not an option.

Over-Eatinq Junk Food as Addictive as Cocaine and Nicotine

Those who slruggl.e with food addiotions often do not receive the same level, of support and help that those suffering from cigarette or drug' addiction do. However, a new study published in Nature Neuroscience found the two might be virtually one in the same.

In the study, researchers divided rats into three groups. One group ate a healthy diet, another ale healthy food with. access to junk food for one hour a day, and the third group were fed healthy meals with access to junk foods all day.

As you mig.ht suspect, the rats in the third group nibbled on junk food all day and quickly became obese. Further, the researchers found thaI:

• Over-eating high-calories foods triggered "addiction-like responses" in the rats' brains and turned the rats into "compulsive eaters"

• Overweight rats had decreased levels of a dopamine receptor -- a chemical thaI triggers feelings of reward -- in their brains

"These data demonstrate that overconsumption of palatable food triggers addiction-like neuroadaptive responses in brain reward circuits and drives the development of compulsive eating," the researchers wrote.

Researcher Paul Kenny of The Scripps Research Institute in Florida also told Reuters, "What we're seeinqin our animals is very similar to what you'd see in humans who overindulge .. It seemed that it was okay, from what we could tell, to enjoy snack foods, but if you repeatedly overindulge, that's where the problem comes in,"

I.ndeed, experts say that eating becomes a problem when you can no longer distinguish between eating because you are hungry and stopping once you are comfortable .. But there may

be more toil than that, especially as foods are being increasingly manipulated precisely to make you crave them even more.

Food Manufacturers are Trying to Get You to Crave More to Eat More

The definition of a food craving does not stray far from reality. While it may be possible, to "crave" healthy foods, most people do not.

"In theory, you ought to be able to learn to crave carrot sticks," says psychologist Marcia Pelchat of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, who was the first to publish brain images associated with food cravings, in the Washington Post. "But 95 to 97 percent of the foods that people report craving are energy-dense .. "

That's right, food cravings are usually for something "bad" for us. Something full of bad fats and sugar, lots of calories and not a lot else.

When we eat a food we love, it activates the brain's pleasure centers, the same ones activated by drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and even buying shoes, Pelchat says.

"Think of food cravings as a sensory memory. You remember how good it felt the last time you had that food. You have to have experienced eatinq jt before," she says.

Food manufacturers are weH aware of the power of food over our brain's pleasure centers, and they actively work to make foods so enticing they're hard to resist. This is part of the reason why foods grown in nature, fruits and vegetables, for instance, cannot compete with pizza, chocolate. potato chips and French fries when it comes to craving potential.

You are hard-wired in a sense to crave fat, salt and sugar; so when a junk food meets all three of these needs it can be hard to pass up.

Further, once you get used to eating these foods, it can be hard to stop .. In fact, in 2002 Princeton University researchers showed that after binging on suqar, rats showed withdrawal symptoms when the sweets were taken away. They actually got "the shakes," anxiety and showed changes in brain chemistry similar to what happens when a drug addict can nolonger take a drug.

Does the "dunk-Food Gene" Playa Role?

A study released by the New England Journal of Medicine reported that children with a specific gene variant were more likely to eat more energy-dense food, meaning faUening unhealthy foods.

The study however did not reveal a difference in metabolism between the kids with the genes and those without it, meaning the gene influenced the way

they ate, but not necessarily the way their body digested and used the calortes.

"The way the genes influence obesity is through behavior, rather than metabolism," said Dr. Goutham Rao, clinical director of the weight management and weHness center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, on MedicineNet.com. "That means this

is something you can work on. And, the good news is that a lot of kids who had the gene weren't overweigh!."

These findings are "hopeful" because the researchers didn't find a difference in metabolism, he said. In other words ... just because you have the gene it doesn't mean you're destined to be fat ... although you may tend to want to eat a bit extra.

Upon studying the eating habits of 97 children, the researchers found children with the varian! gene consumed around 100 calories more per meal -- this trans-

lates to an extra pound of weig.ht about every 12 days!

So it could very well be possible that certain people are even more predisposed to craving unhealthy goods. But the good news is that it's totally in your power to overcome those cravings, whether you have it in your genes or not!

GLENN'S TEN ••• The Way I See It!

Waterboro, the Orange Grove Place!

A True Southern Lowcountry Lady! By Glenn Arnette, III

It is a shame when something beautiful in real estate goes on the market for sale, but when a sale offers opportunities for the Coastal Community Foundation to distribute funds to early childhood literacy and other community programs, you fully understand the needs.

located on Wichman Street in Walterboro, South Carolina, this grand property offers the buyer a tree lined avenue the length of a foolballfi.eld as your grand "Southern" entrance, 50 ancient live Oaks on 7.3 acres completely landscaped and three charming guest cottages

providing an additional four bedrooms and three baths. Then you have the main house, Orange Grove Place.

Designed in American

Federal Architecture and built in 1823, this completely restored two story home is almost "Gone With The Wind." There are 6091 square feel of "magnificence in antebellum" incJuding a wrap around veranda and is completely furnished in beautiful antiques, as if it is a work of art. There are 12 foot ceilings and twelve rooms ;i;ncluding four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, a two car garage and gated portecochere.

Someone will purchase this wonderful property and live in a very historical community known as Walterboro, South

Carolina. You will find all of the excitement of a large city, but live in a small village type town where "people are real people and they speak Southern English". You are located very close to Beaufort and only 50 minutes from Charlesto n, South Carol ina. This is a situation where "you can have your cake and eat it too!" This perfect location is just plain lOWCOUNTRY, and that stands for "OH YES, WE WON THE WAR. We just let those Northern people think they did!" lOl

So, here is your opportunity to own a real part of history in a wonderful town that captures the life of the real. South. If you found anything comparable to Orange Grove Place in

This beautiful lowcountry lady, designed in American Federal style., was constructed in 1823.

Charleston you would pay millions, but now you can have it as your personal residence for 1.25 million. It sounds like a lot of money .in this economy, but truly the value is real and worth every penny. Step up to the plate and call Calbert Huffines at 843-549-6654 or go to the computer and type: calbert@ IheHuffinescompany. com.

Call me when you buy it. I wiiJ come for a visit!

By the way, this is only the beginning of what you can expect when you discover this wonderful piece of property. I only wish! My evening there was in a cocklail setting, with candles and special lighting throughout the house, gardens and entrance. The food was

delicious and served on the patio overlooking the garden and fountain in the back. The people were dressed and they were so enchanting and having the lime of their life. I pretendedit was the filming of a movie and I was the star! Wrong! The Orange Grove was the real star, as it should be and the trees surrounding the property are "dripping with moss." Funny, when I was in coiJege many years ago my dorm was called Orange Hall and we had a special event known as the Orange Grove. Is that telling. me something?

South Carolina you make me proud! Thank you for bringing me back to my roots and letting me relive some of my past!

National Peace Corps Association Holds 'My Piece of the Peace Corps' YouTube Contest

By Alison Beckwith

The National Peace Corps

Association, the nation's leading nonprofit organization supporting Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) and the Peace Corps community, announced it has launched a contest for the best short video on YouTube to honor the Peace Corps' upcoming 50th anniversary.

Called "My Piece of the Peace Corps," the contest invites entrants to submit one- to two-minute videos about how the Peace Corps, a Peace Corps Volunteer, or a Returned Peace Corps

Volunteer changed their lives. Winners will receive $500, $1,000, or a grand prize of $2,500.

"We expect the videos to be as diverse as the people who serve in the Peace Corps," said Erica Burman, director of communications for the National Peace Corps Association who served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in The Gambia. "A video could be about a highschool teacher whose stories from overseas inspired you, or a Volunteer whose service taught you new skills, or maybe a Returned Volunteer who continues to be a community leader here at home."

Burman and others at NPCA said the

idea behind the contest was to generate awareness about the Peace Corps' upcoming 50th anniversary. The contest will culminate just in time for the celebrations at the University of Michigan in October where the idea of the Peace Corps first began fifty years ago. Burman hopes the "My Piece of the Peace Corps" YouTube contest will inspire people to reflect on this important mark in history, whether or not they've served in the Peace Corps.

Entrants should upload their videos to NPCA's contest group on YouTube between July 1 and Sept. 30. Submissions must be less than 120 sec-

onds and cannot have been previously submitted to another contest. Further contest rules and details are available online at www.peacecorpsconnect.org/ VideoContest.

"like the Peace Corps, YouTube has brought the world closer together," said Burman. "It's only natural that we would use this new technology to showcase the ways that Peace Corps Volunteers and Returned Volunteers have affected tens of thousands of people around the world."

To enter the contest and submit your video, visit: www.peacecorpsconnect.orgNideoContest.

we are pleased that we are able to proceed with some of our outstanding commitments. We will continue to accept applications for this critical program and hope that the economy continues to improve."

Funding for the South Carolina Conservation Bank began in July 2004 and since that time the Conservation Bank has actively pursued its mission of conserving significant sites from willing landowners that will truly allow South Carolina to remain a special and si.gnificant

place. The Conservation Bank program will simultaneously protect valuable natural resources and private property rights. Vol unta ryla ndown e rs who wish to participate may sell property outright or they may enter into conservation easements and retain traditional use of the land.

South Carolina's natural resources are essential for economic development and contribute nearly $30 billion and 230,000 jobs to the state's economy.

s.c. Conservation Bank Protects 4,100 Acres

The South Carolina

Conservation Bank Board met July 1 and funded seven grants total ing 4,100 acres of significant lands located statewide for conservation.

The Conservation Bank

received $1.5 million from the state leg islatu rei n the 2010- 2011 budget to apply towards the $4.5 million in grant commitments it had previously made but was unable to fund due to budget restrictions of the past

two years. The Conservation Bank still has 31 grant applications for 23,049 acres at a cost of $20 million, with a fair market value of $77 million, which have not yet been reviewed.

Five of the grants funded July 1 by the Conservation Bank were for small family farms that had federal matching funds as a requirement. The remaining two selected grants were for large timber/wetland tracts valued for their size, Ioca-

tion and cultural s.ignificance. One of these properties was the Middleton Tract in Charleston County. This 1,274 acres was the culmination of the protection of more than 14,000 acres in the critically important Ashley River Historic District that the Conservation Bank has been working on for several years.

Conservation Bank chairman Weston Adams said:

"Considering the overall state of our budget in South Carolina,

There's nothing like the sweet tartness of lemonade to help you cool down on a hot summer day. This summer I'm trying some new ways to enjoy the refreshing taste of lemonade. I hope you like them, too!

Jenny Harper

Fresh Homemade Lemonade

The besllemonade is made with a simple syrup, the

smooth sweetness of the syrup means that you don't get undissolved sugar in your glass. To make it, heat 1 cup sugar and

1 cup water in sauce pan until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice to the simple syrup. Then add 3 to 4 cups cold water, some lemon slices, and you're ready to drink sunshine in a glass.

Frozen Lemonade Slushy

Use your blender to make a quick frozen treat. Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice, sugar 10 taste (u p to 112 cu p), ice cubes and chilled water to the fill line; blend until slushy. Pour into tall glasses and enjoy with a spoon. For a variation add some strawberries or mint to the blender.

Lemon Ice Cubes

Freshen up summer drinks with lemon ice. Squeeze fresh lemons and put the juice in ice cube trays. (You can also add some zest for an extra lemon boost.) Freeze them, and then store in a plastic bag in the freezer. Use them to flavor your water, or add fresh lemon taste to a glass of cola,iced tea or fruit juice.

Another thing I'm looking forward to making is this Frozen Lemonade Pie. Cool and creamy and full of fabulous lemonade flavor. With all this delicious flavor, it's going to be easy to chill out this summer!

Frozen Lemonade Pie Makes 8 servings

1 can (12 fluid ounces) Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk

1 package (3 ounces) lemonflavored gelatin

2 tablespoons grated lemon peel 1/2 cup (3 to 4 lemons) fresh lemon juice

1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

1 repared 10-inch graham cracker crumb crust

2 candied lemon half slices, cut into 8 wedges (optional)

MICROWAVE evaporated milk in medium bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute or until warm. Whisk in gelatin. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes. Add lemon peel and juice; mix well. Gently whisk in 2 cups whipped topping. Pour into crust.

• 1 can (12 fluid ounces) Nestle Carnation Evaporated Fat Free Milk, 1 package ( .3 ounces) sugar free lemon-flavored gelatin and sugar free whipped topping can be substituted. Prepare as above.

Nutrition Information per serving: 350 calories; 150 calories from fat; 17 g total fat; 9g saturated fat; 15mg cholesterol; 230mg sodium; 42g carbohydrate; Og fiber; 26g sugars; 5g protein; 15% Vitamin C; 10% Calcium

FREEZE for 4 hours. Dollop remaining 1 cup whipped topping around edge of pie. Top each dollop with lemon wedge. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

High energy, fresh talent, great music, and wonderful entertainment are all on stage at Lakewood Camping 'Resort every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night at 8:30. High energy is a very light description of this show. These high school and college·age young people put on a performance that is absolutely nonstop. The energy just goes on and on. The talent is limitless. The packed audlenceis treated to one of the best shows to be found anywh.ere. This production is the longest running show on the whole grand strand. Rhonda Perry, co-producer, says thai virtually every show on the strand has or has had performers who gal their start there.

. 'Rhonda started performing at the age of 16 in 1983 .. She married Tony Perry and they now have a son, Austin, singing and dancing there.

High Steppin' Country is the brainchild of Gail and Phillip Perry. The late Phill.ip Perry dreamed of offering. Myrtle Beach a professional country show. He and Gail along with choreographer Mallory Graham designed the first production of country and gospel music in 1976 at Magic Harbor Amusement Park, adjacent to the camping resort. It was an instant success and when the Perry family sold Magic Harbor in 1985, High Sleppin' Country moved to the camp grounds. Demand caused them to quickIy outgrow the outdoor show with its small stage and wooden bleachers but Hurricane Hugo completely wiped it out in 1989_

With the 1990 tourist season came the present oceanfront amphitheater. This large, basically concrete building with a breathtaking view of the ocean, Palmetto Trees, and moonlight just behind the stage was packed with some 400 to 450 in the audlence. Fans and cross ventilation keep it nice and coolon the warmest of evenings.

Vocal director is Kraig McBroom, while choreoqraphy is handled by Bryan Beaman who has a dance School in the Carolina Forest area. Becky Bannon is stage manager and Anthony Perry the sound technician. Taryn Martin is assistant choreographer, Grayson Avery, lighting technician, and the production crew are Amy Eddings, Abigai.1 Perry, Laurel

Wllde, and Chase Clark. Abigail is the daughter of Anthony and Rhonda Perry. At 15 she is too young. to perform but hopes to audition next year. The performers must be at least 16 and they also work at the camping resort. Gail Perry is executive producer.

Now in its thirty-third year, Phillip Perry's dream is certainly a reaIily. When the early show first began, he was part of a group called the Sunshine Singers. Rhonda Perry says he basically loved to entertain and had a dream for Ihis family show and entertainment. In its evolution it has become a vanety of something for everyone.

Gail Perry once told me that all these kids who have passed through over the years are her family. Rhonda said the same thing. Family is a word you hear over and over when tal.king to them and it's pretty clear that the performers feel that way too.

Many of the performers have gone on to Broadway productions, Disney World, recording studios and at least one (laura Castleman) became a Rockette. Kelly Cutts of Alabama Theatre started out al High Steppin' Gountry as did Josh Turner who moved on to Nashville and has had a number of number one hits. Bailey Hanks, another HSG alumna, landed the role of Elle Woods in Broadway's Legally Blonde. Mallory Graham, early choreographer for more than a few years, has reached a high plateau of fame and has a dance school in High POint, N.C.

While the list goes on and on, we will

stop here for fear of leavin9 someone out.

Lakewood Camping Resort, called Lakewood Camp Ground by most is a wholesome place for family vacations with some permanent residents. There are 1,900 or so campsites, some homes, and all kinds of entertainment. Spirituality is also stressed with on- site nondenominational ministry and church services on Sunday morning and Sunday evening. Lots of happy, shining faces attest to the family, wholesome atmosphere. More than 500 golf carts g.lide around the groundS making their size more rnanaqeabte,

frequently," notes Nathan

Frampton, president of

Fanimation. "If you aren't using your ceiling fan during these hot summer nights, you are costing yourself mega-bucks," he adds.

"The best way to understand the benefits is to do a few sim-

pie calculations," explains Joe Rey-Barreau, education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor at the University of Kentucky's School of Interior Design. "If the ambient air temperature is 78~, your body will feel as if it is 720 if you are seated under a ceiling fan operating al a low speed. The fan makes you feel cooler by flowing air over your skin, which causes your perspiration to evaporate faster."

Zeynep T. McLeane of Emerson Alr Comfort Products agrees. "A ceiling fan can make a person feel as if the room is

10° COOler," he comments. "It runs on a fairly low amount of energy that ,is equivalent to a 100-watt bulb - and even less if it is an Energy Star-qualified fan."

Where's the ideal spot?

The best place to install a cei.ling fan is any room where you will be spending a lot of time (I.e. family rooms, bedrooms, and recreation rooms). "There really isn't an area in the house where people are not installing ceiling fans," McLeane states. "Bathrooms, garages and closets are also good applications. With outdoor spaces gaining popularity and the increase of damp- or wet-location UL-listed products, homeowners can easily put up a ceiling fan in their covered porch

areas."

Cliff Crimmings of Craftrnade provides another scenario. "The laundry room is a great place to Install a ceiling fan," he notes. "Running the fan will balance the moisture content and heat to match that of the other rooms in the home.

Does it matter how many blades a ceiling fan has?

Believe it or not; what's more important is selecting a ceiling fan that is the right size for the space. "Rooms that are approximately 150 sq. ft. or larger require a 52-inch diameter fan to be most effective," ReyBarreau advises. "Smaller rooms can use either a 42- or a 48-inch diameter model." Larger great rooms may require bigger fans with up 10 a 72-inch span.

"The majority of ceiling fans sold have five blades, but this is more of an aesthetic consideration rather than a practical one," Rey-Barreau says. "A fan with fewer blades actually moves more air. That's why if you look at fans located high in a space such as a warehouse, they will typical.Iy be industrial-grade, threeblade fans. However, unless a home has extremely high ceilings and the objective is to move a significant amount of air, it is generally acceptable to buy a fan with four or five blades."

A wise choice is to buy a reversible model. "In the winter, you want to mix the air in the room with out creating any chill factor. The best way to do this is to reverse the fan and run it on low only," Crimmings advises.

Which style is right for me?

Fifteen years ago, consumers were happy with a simple white fan, however, the range of style options today has made ceiling fans an important part of decor. The decision of whether or not to use alight kit depends on need.; it does not affect performance.

"If a room does not have other light sources, then a light kitis a necessity," Rey-Barreau notes. "Many light kits are

almost an integral part of the fan, making the look of the fan even more desirable."

One of the big.g.estadvantages of buying a ceiling fan from an ALA-member lighting showroom is that they have expert sales associates 10 help you with the selection process. The range of fan sizes, styles and types of fans can be overwhelming when it comes to making a decision. The personnel in a lighting showroom are highly trained, and are able to match your needs to the appropriate fan.

Another incentive? "Lighting showrooms offer customizable products not available a big box retailer," McLeane remarks. "There are products that come in a box ready to go, but if customers want, they can customize the finish of the housing, select from wood or handcarved blades, add ligb! fixtures to their fan, add ceiling medallions to the ceiling, and get the perfect control system they need at a lighting showroom. Another benefit is service: most dealers will assist you with any problems that might arise and can recommend installers at reasonable rates."

Crimmings adds,

"Showrooms will also help you plan how far away from the ceilingto install your fan to achieve the best overall effect for the room. The lighting showroom staff will also advise you on Ihe perfect way to control your fan either through remote conlrol options or wall switches compatible with the fan product as well. as your homes wiring and electrical plate trim."

Preceded by four successful novels of women's friendships, "By Accident" follows a year in the life of a woman after the accidental death of her teenage son. Concerned with randomness in relationships, in marriage, and in nature, the story poses tough questions: What constitutes betrayal between husband and wife? Can a savior be a lover? ls either ever justified? Even as the novel portrays a woman's loss, grief, and recovery, it examines how friendship can dangerously evolve into desire.

It happens sometimes that many small forces combine to make an impact on a day, a life, an issue or even a cause.

Though slow to realize just how BIG this "catch" was for litlie Pawleys Island, the media coverag.e cranked up in time to catch the attention of some of the holiday revelers. A nice crowd of 60 women and one brave man arrived at the Tara Ballroom at the Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort to hear Jane talk about her twelfth novel, "Promises to Keep."

Rooted in her personal experience of just a year ago (caring for a dose friend dying of rare breast cancer cornplications), this fictional treatment of a

There wasn't a dry eye as Jane acknowledged the survivors who dotted the room, brandishing their badge of honor- brightly, even defiantly knotted headscarves. We were all affected, as we all have mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends or selves whose lives have taken a sharp turn with the ring of a telephone.

This small gathering produced several inspiring donations: Jane Green continues to donate 20% of all of the book's royalties to the City of Hope; litchfiel'd Books is donating 20% of this book's sales to the Georgetown Hospital System Indigent Breast Cancer Fund (which provides anti-nausea medication 10 those who otherwise cannot afford the $100 dosaqe); the Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort substantially reduced the luncheon price enabling the Moveable Feast to donate 30% of the ticket sales to Dragon Boat at the Beach, in honor of Carol Rose: and the Waccamaw Book Glub from the Osher Ufe.long learning Institute pooled their contributions to double the donation to Dragon Boat at the Beach and arrived a dozen-strong in Carol's me mo ry.

Popular Asthma Drugs Carry Dire Warning

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:

I started treatment for asthma for the first lime at age 80. At first I took prednisone and albulerol. Then .1 had a Pulmicort inhaler. Now I am on Symbicorl. The material that comes with this medicine advises that this LABA (lonq-aetlnq beta agonist) may increase the chance of death from asthma. Exactly what is this telling me?

- E.S.

ANSWER:.

With asthma, there is a sudden constriction of the breathing tubes (bronchi), along with the production of thick mucus. Both block the flow of air into the lungs, and both cause asthma symptoms - shortness of breath, wheeZing and coughing. Asthma changes are reversible.

Asthma medications come in three major categories. One is quick-action medicines, the kind that get to work fast to open the breathing tubes. Many of these medicines are SABAs, shortacting beta aqonists. Albuterol is one example. Beta agonists

dilate bronchi. Too-frequent use of the short-acting beta agonists indicates poor asthma control. They should be used only for an acute attack, and. attacks should be infrequent.

The second category is cortisone drugs, the potent suppressors ofinttammation. They calm airways and prevent their constriction. They also decrease mucus production. Taken by mouth, cortisone drugs have unpleasant side effects when used for long periods in high doses. Taken by inhaler, the side effects are few. Pulmicort is a cortisone-inhaler drug,

The third category of drug is l.eng-acting drugs, drugs that keep the airways less twitchy for prolonged periods, Long-acting beta agonists, LABAs, belong in Ihis category. LABA drugs have been noted to lin crease the risk of serious asthma attacks, which ended in fatalities for a few. That was in the days when they were used alone. Now they have been incorporated into preparations combined with cortisone drugs. Since these dual preparations have come to the

market, no drug-related asthma fatalities have been reported. The warning still. exists because a LABA is part of the drug .. You don'! need to worry about your medicine, Symbicort.lt's a dual medicine.

The asthma bookletexplains in detail this common malady. To order a copy, write to: Dr Donohue- No. 602W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853- 6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:

Exactly what is prickly heat?

Do adults get it? If they do, I think I have it. - M. K.

ANSWER:

Adults do get prickly heat II looks like red dots or tiny blisters on the skin. The rash itches or feels "prickly. " Sweat ducts have beoome plugged,

Prevention comes with

dressing as coolly as possible in light cotton clothes. Alr-condltioningisthe ultimate answer. Second best is having a fan blowing on you. If you have a breakout, cool-water compresses take away the itch or prickliness, as do cortisone creams, which are found in all drugstores.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:

I play softball for my company. Last week, while roundi.ng second, I felt like I stubbed my toe. It hurt, and it still does. People tell me it is turf toe. What is that, and how long does iit go on? - ML.

ANSWER:

Turf toe happens when the big toe is forcefully bent upward. That motion sprains ligaments at the base of the toe,

Every time you take a step, your big toe propels the body forward .. Limit your walking to give the toe a rest. Splinting the toe with tape is helpful Shoes with a sturdy sale also protect the toe,

ff the ligaments have only been stretched, your toe ought to feel fine in two weeks. If the ligaments are torn, it will take six weeks.

You and I are going on "people's" diagnosis. !If there isn't a major turnabout shortly in how the toe feels, have a doctor confirm the diagnosis.

You Don't Have to Live with Pain!

The Self-Healing Benefits of Stretching:

By Jacques Gauthier for SixWise .. com

I just finished a walking across the United States. It feels wonderful to have fulfilled my dream of being the first person to walk around North America (I had already crossed Canada several years ago).

What feels even better, however, is to hear of all the people who have started stretching when they learned of me and my story. ThaI was the purpose of my walk - to let people know that they don't have to live with pain, that by stretching they can become healthier and happier. It's so easy and it works!

Stretching is one of the most powerful selfhealing techniques there is and best of all is that it's free. I love to ten people that there is only one

side effect to stretching, and that is flexibility!

I didn't invent stretching, of course. It's as old as mankind. And yet, w.hen I started 10 teach stretching, no one had heard about it. That shows you what unhealthy lives we had been living,

We are just starting to learn about the most basic th.ings - and most important things - that we can do for our health. Now just about everyone knows something about stretching.

They Told Me I Was Going to Be a Quadriplegic!

I found out about stretching Ihe hard way. Sixteen years ago my doctors told me to buy a wheelchair and prepare for being a quadriplegic for the rest of my life, I

was crippled by vasculitis, arthritis and osteoporosis.

The pain was so severe thai I could barely move. My wife had to help me get out of bed in the morning, help me shower and help me with everything I had to do. All I could do on my own was lie in bed, meditate and pray.

Finally, someone told me about a healer. I traveled many miles to see him and he told me I had to stretch to get well. This Is not what I wanted to hear! Any movement was extremely painful and my doctor-s had told me I could not do exercises. But the healer told me if I didn't stretch, I would never get well.

I had to decide what to do and I decided to give it a try. II was my only hope. It was extremely painful at first, but within 6 weeks I had

regained 50% of my function and in 7 months of intense stretching I was back to normal!

The amazing result that I g.ol from stretching made me want 10 learn more, so I bought many books on the subject. My wife Dorothee also started stretching,

Sh.e had been suffering with back pain for many years and when she saw the improvement in me, she thought she'd try it for herself. Her back pain began to improve and after one year she was completely

free of pain.

Then we started

experimenting with other people because people were coming and asking me how I could be in such a good shape after how sick I had been. People were thinking that I was dying and all of a sudden I seemed to be in better shape than any of them. They asked me what was happening. I told them I had learned stretching and this is how it all started - they wanted to learn too!

The Remarkable Ability of Stretching to Eliminate Your Pain

We started to teach stretching with all kinds of books and ideas from health specialists. We studied with some people who knew about breathing, and combined this with the stretches. By putting together different ideas, we realized that the stretching exercises become anti-inflammatory. I talked to many health care providers about this and they said this made sense. They observed the effects of stretching with their patients and found it to be true. This explains why stretching reduces pain. Inflammation causes pain, and when the inflammation is gone, the pain is gone.

For the anti-inflammatory effect, however, it is extremely important how you stretch.

Inflammation is the body's reaction to injury. If we don't exercise properly we can cause injury. Even stretching, if no! done properly, can increase inflammation. It is important to move slowly in and out of the stretches, paying attention to your body and letting it tell

you when to stop. I have found that breathing slowly and deeply, as well as holding the stretches for about 30 seconds, is the key to stretching being anti-inflammato.ry.

I love to teach stretching because I learn more by teaching. Many health care professionals have taken my courses. They learn from me and I learn from them and we keep improving the courses.

When Can You Expect to Achieve the Immense Benefits of Stretching

Most people notice some results within the first week and the benefits grow with time. With a serious condition it can take months and years for the problem 10 resolve, but even very serious problems can be healed through stretching. I know this because I've seen people do it. It's not thai they go to a healer and the healer heals them; it's because they started the stretching and kept on doing it.

The more you stretch a day, the faster the results come, but for most people 15 to 20 minutes is enough to make a big difference. In the case of a

Horry Academy Among Three S.C. Schools To Earn National Awards

By Pete Pillow

Three South Carolina schools are among the 62. earning national awards for oulstandingachievement in school improvemenland preparing more students for success in high school, college, careers and citizenship. The awards are being presented by the Southem Regional Education Board (SREB) at its annual High Schools That Works staff development conferenoe later this month in Louisville,. Ky.

High Schools That Work is a comprehensive school improvement program based on the remise that most pupils can master rigorous academic and career/!echnical studies if school leaders and teachers create an environment that motivates all students to make the effort to succeed.

More than 1, 1 00 high schools in 30 states and the District of Columbia parfieipate in the program.

Horry County's Academy for the Arts, Science, and Technology in Myrtle Beach is one of 30 High Schools That Wor.k Pacesetter Schools, an honor given to those that exemplify the progress that can be made when leaders truly embrace change and support improvement efforts. These schools are model sites in implementing the High Schools That Work design, teaching students a rigorous curriculum

linked to a program of study and showing high achievement.

Anderson Districts I & II Career and Technology Center in Williamston and Ooonee County's Fred P. Hamilton Career Center in Seneca are winners of a Gold Readiness Award presented for Technology Centers That Work, a school improvement initiative based on Ihe High Schools That Work model with modifications to meet specific needs of shared-time centers. More than 125 technology centers in 12 states take part in this program.

"These schools have shown the great progress that can be made when schools deeply implement Ihe High Schools Thai Work and Technology Centers That Work designs for strengthening curriculum and instruction," said Gene Bottoms, senior vice president for the Southern Regi.onal Education Board. "They .illustrate !he spirit of change lhat we advocate and support."

SREB is a nonprofil and nonpartisan organization based in Atlanta that advises state education leaders on ways to improve education. The board was created in 19148 by Southern govemors and legislatures to help leaders in education and government work cooperatively to advance education and improve the region's social and economic life. SREB has 16 member states including South Carolina.

woman who healed herself from multiple sclerosis, it took her a total of two years and she was stretching an hour a day. She is still well 1 0 years later. Now she does yoga, she plays golf ail summer, she goes downhill skiing all winter -- she is in better shape than everybody in her family and surroundings!

There has been a lot of research on stretching with regard to sports, but not enough on its general benefits. It is difficult to measure the results of stretching, and much of the research is contradictory .. It has shown, however, that stretching increases flexihility and range of motion in the joints .. The anti-

inflammatory effect has been d.emonstrated in a study showing thai stretching reduced heel pain in a condition known as plantar fasciitis.

The best proof that stretching works is to try it for yourself! I have seen from my own experience and the reports of so many people that I've taught, that stretching is extremely beneficial. People lell me their pain goes away, they have more energy and they are able to start doinq all kinds of things they had stopped doinq due to stiffness and pain.

Beyond that, people have even reported recovery from many problems that are not

considered curable:

In addition to the woman mentioned above who recovered from multiple sclerosis, people have reported results in healing arthritis, headaches, back/neckJshoulder pain, bursitis, depression, fatigue and even conditions like fibromyalgia.

The body has a tremendous capacity to heal, but we have to help it along by taking proper care of it Stretching is one of the easiest and most effective self-healing tools that I know of. That, along with good food and relaxation is what I like to call the "immune triangle" Take care of those things and you will take care of your health!

lation can help shorten your recovery time if you've had any muscle injuries ..

3. Better posture. Frequent stretching' can help keep your muscles from gelling tight, allowing you to maintain proper posture. Good posture can minimize discomfort and keep aches and pains at a minimum.

4. Stress relief. Stretching relaxes tight, tense muscles that often accompany stress.

5. Enhanced coordination. Maintaining the full range of motion through your joints keeps you in better balance. Coordination and balance will help keep you mobile and less prone to injury from falls, especially as you get older.

Five More Key Benefits of Stretching

1. Increased flexibility and better range of motion of your joints. Flexible muscles can improve your daily performahce. Tasks such as lifting packages, bending. to tie your shoes or hurrying to catch a bus beco.me easier and less tidng.. Flexibility tends to diminish as youg.et older, but you can regain and maintain it.

2. Improved circulation. Stretching. increases blood flow to your muscles, Blood flowing to your muscles brings nourishment and gets rid of waste byproducts in the muscle tissue, Improved clreu-

crewmembers knew that - in times of action - no one else was as ruthless and bloodthirsty as these two women. Captain Jack, nicknamed "Calico Jack" for his love of colorful cotton clothing, was a well-known pirate in those days and of whose crew these two women were members, but his reputation has survived through the ages primarily because oflhesetwo infamous women pirates. Some called Anne Bonney a feminist who chose piracy as way of rebelling against a male-dominated world. Whatever her motives, Bonny was described as a plunderer. cutthroat, sailor, ransomer, raider, and general menace to maritime commerce in the Caribbean. The original historic drama premiered to rave reviews at Brookgreen Gardens last summer and was written by local playwright Lori Lewis for Brookgreen,

From the Editors of ElThe Environmental Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: I heard about a supposed dangerous chemical called "triclosan" that is in many personal care and other consumer products. Can you enlighten?

- Carl Stoneman, Richland,. Wash.

Triclosan is a synthetic chemical compound added to many personal and household care products to inhibit illness by preventing bacterial infection. It works by breaking down the biochemical pathways that bacteria use to keep their cell walls intact, and as such kills potentially harmful germs if used in strong enough formulations. First developed as a surgical scrub back in 1972, triclosan is now used in upwards of 700 different consumer-oriented products, many of which people use more than once a day. They include hand soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, kids' toys, yoga mats and, of course, hand sanitizers.

Whether triclosan is actually as effective as advertised, especial.lyin the small doses found in consumer products, is a topic of much debate. Manufacturers insist that the product helps reduce infections. But researchers from the University of Michigan's School of Public Health found, after surveying 27 different studies conducted between 1980 and 2006 on the effectiveness of antibacterial soaps, that washing hands with products containing triclosan was no more effective in preventing infectious illness - and did not remove any more bacteria - than plain soaps. The analysis, "Consumer Antibacterial Soaps:

Effective or Just Risky?" was published in 2007 in the peerreviewed journal, Clinical Infectious Diseases. According 10 lead researcher Allison Aiello, triclosan - because of the way it reacts in living cells - may cause some bacteria exposed to it to become resistant to amoxicillin and other commonly used antibacterial drugs, but she adds that more research is needed to bear out this hypothesis.

Anti-bacterial soaps and other products utilizing triclosan may in fact be doing more harm than good for the people who

use it regularly. According to

the non-profit Beyond

Pesticides, triclosan has been linked to various human health problems. "It is associated with skin irritation, has been shown to interfere with the body's herrnones, and has been linked to an increased risk of developing respiratory illness, or asthma. and cancer, as well as subtle effects on learning ability," reports the group, adding that

Manufacturers that use trlclosan in their products insist that the synthetic chemical helps reduce infections. But numerous studies have shown that washing hands with products containing triclosan was no more effective in preventing infectious illness than plain soaps. Other research even links triclosan to various human health and environmental problems.

75 percent of Americans are walking around today with trace levels of triclosan in their bloodstreams. Tests using lab animals have verified that exposure to larqe doses of triclosan can cause irreparable health damage,. but industry representatives say that the levels found

in consumer products are much too small to do so.

Beyond its potential human health effects, triclosan can also

harm the environment.

A.ccording to Beyond

Pesticides, some 96 percent of the Iriclosan from consumer products is washed down drains where it flows into wastewater treatment plants often illequipped to deal with it. Inevitably some of the triclosan escapes treatment and is released into local waterways, where exposure to sunlight can convert it into dioxins, a highly toxic group of chemicals responsible for contaminating waterways and wreaking havoc on wildlife ..

While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is finally taking a fresh look at triclosan after years of controversy, consumers can do their part by asking the places they shop to stop selling products containing the controversial chemical additive. The Beyond Pesticides website offers a customizable sample leUer designed to help consumers convince local retailers to forego stocking items with trlclosan.

Dear EarthTalk: I ama bartender in Sacramento and J would love to be able to use some sort of locally made or sustainable version of sugar. What's out there?

- Ryan Seng, via e-mail

It sure would be nice if we could obtain all of our food and drink items from local sources, but sugar provides an excellent example of why such a desire may remain a pipe dream in the United States for a long lime to come. The sugar we consume that is produced domestically comes from suqar cane grown in Hawaii and the Southeast and sugar beet from the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest, California and elsewhere. However, it is likely milled and refined hundreds if not thousands of miles from where it is harvested, and then shipped all over the country - causing

untold greenhouse gas emissions - in various sized packages for our consumption in our

coffee, on our cereal and, for some of us, in our cocktails.

Massive government subsidies and land giveaways to the sugar industry in the American Southeast beginning in the early 18th century established a market for

American-grown sugar

despite the fact that the region's climate was not tropical enough to grow cane efficiently. To add insult to injury, the rerouting of south Florida's fragile water table to irrigate thirsty sugar plantations contributed to the decimation of the Everglades, one of the nation's most unique and diverse ecosystems - and now the subject of a multi-billion dollar restoration effort.

While you might be hard pressed to find commercially available local sugar anywhere in the U.S., you could make your own. "Years ago, when sugar was an expensive commodity, many people of lesser means made their own sugar from sugar beets," reports writer Kat Yares on the eHow.com website. '"Every farm and every home garden had a spot reserved for beets, and a day was set aside to cook the beets down into sugar." While very few of us grow our own food these days, growing sugar beets and making sugar from scratch can be a fun. educational and tasty project for parents and kids or for foodies intent on local sourced, preservative-free

ingredients. Yares explains the whole process in her "How to Make Sugar from Beets" article on eHow.com.

If that all sounds like too much work, perhaps you can settle for store-bought organic sugar, which may not be local but which is at least produced without chemical. pesticides and fertilizers. Florida Crystals, Hain, C&H,. Domino and others each offer organic sugar varieties in many traditional grocery stores coast-to-coast. There are even more choices at natural foods specialty stores (like Whole Foods), Believei! or not, there are even vegan sugars out there - that is, sugars not processed with animal-derived bone char in the refinement process.

While sugar ilse.lf may be a staple item for many cocktails, some interesting alternative natural sweeteners, some of which may be locally sourced in your region, do exist Agave nectar, honey or even maple syrup are some options thai might just give that Tom Collins the extra kick it needs to make it stand out from the other bartender's drinks down the street - or in your breakfast cereal, for that matter.

Writer James Mauro was intrigued when he discovered a half-buried plaque while visiting Flushing Meadows Corona Park one afternoon, The plaque was dedicated to two bomb-squad detectives who lost their lives on the Fourth of July in 1940 while trying to defuse a lime bomb that had been planted in the British Pavilion at the World's Fair,

nooding the local Barnes & Noble, its dear that positive thinking is the remedy "du jour." But there are few books on positive thinking and relationships as both bubbly and informative as "Meeting Your Half Oranqe" by Amy Spencer. While her approach focuses on finding romance, the aumor's buoyancy is contagious and her tips applicable for the most significanllong-term relationship you'll ever have: the one with yourself.

"Putting off things that will bring pleasure into your daily life," she writes, "is doing yourself a disservice. ... You deserve to be happy right now - not just beginning on some vague day in the future when your true love comes along."

But the book does promise that readers will find their "half oranges" So, whars a half orange? As Spencer writes, a half orange is "a translation of the Spanish phrase 'mi media naranja,' which means 'my half orange'; used to descr:ibe, in love, one's sweetheart, one's beautifully perfect other half.."

Spencer uses neurological

research on positive psychology, coupled with personal anecdotes and helpfulguidelines, to illustrate an exciting, positive-thin king-paved path lor finding that missing half orange. The book is peppered with useful tips lor "Iovevisualization" - which Spencer says is , !key to first picturing, then finding the perfect mate - such as imagining next Valentine's Day or describing the ideal , birthday, and equally informative cautionary tales.

The philosophy guiding "Meeting Your Half Orange" is the author's simple belief that everyone deserves a "big love." In the final pages, she writes simply, "What does it take to believe you deserve a great love? Because while you may not know whether or not you deserve love, I know you do. We all do. And we can be better, brighter human beings if we're given the chance to have it."

10 People Foods to Never Feed Your Dog

By www.SixWise.com

Like humans, pets of all kinds need a varied diet - with fresh foods added - to function at their bes!.

So feeding your pet "people food" like hig.h~quality raw meats and veg~ gies., supplemented with essential vitamins and minerals, can actually be very healthy for dogs and cats, provided the diet is properly balanced and varied.

That said, there are some people foods that do not agree with cats and dogs, and in fact can be downright harmful. Of course, as with people, if you feed your dog junk food like white bread. gummy bears and potato chips they most .Iikely will not thrive. But there are some people foods you might think are healthy that are deceptively dangerous for your furry family members.

With that in mind, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has detailed the top ten people foods that you should never gIve to your dog - even though they're fine for you.

10 Foods to Never Feed Your Dog

1. Avocados

Avocados are great for you, but their leaves, fruit, seeds and bark contain a substance known as Persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Avocados are also dangerous for birds and rodents, which can have difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation around the heart upon ingestion.

2. Grapes & Raisins

These seemingly innocent fruits can cause kidney failure in dogs, especially in pets that already have health problems. Researchers are still not sure why grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs, but keep them off-limits to Fido anyway.

3. Ma.cadamia Nuts

These delicacies for you can cause weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs, usually within 12 hours of digestion. Macadamia nuts are often found in cookies and candy. so double check the

ingredients list for rnacademias before you give your dog any nut-containing item.

4 .. Alcohol

A bit obvious, but alcoholic beverages or foods containing alcohol (rum cake!) should not be shared with your furry family members. In dogs, alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, decreased coordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma and death.

5. Yeast .Dough

If you're making homemade bread or cinnamon rolls, make sure the uncooked dough is stored safely out of your dog's reach while it rises. The rising yeast can cause gas in your pet's digestive system than can even cause the stomach or intestines to rupture. Once the dough is baked, the risk diminishes.

6. XyHtol

Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in many sugar-free candies. gums and baked goods, as well as in toothpaste. It can cause low blood sugar levels and liver failure in dogs, so it's important to keep anything sweetened with xylitol well out of your pup's reach. Signs of poisoning can include vomiting, lathargy, loss of coordination, recumbancy and seizures.

7. Onions, Chives

Large amounts of onions, chives and other veggies in this family can cause gastrointestinal irritation and red blood cell damage in dogs and, especially, in cats. Although occasional small amounts will likely not cause a problem, be very careful to avoid large or recurrent doses.

8. Salt

Too much salt can lead to excessive thirst and urination, sodium poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death in pels. So avoid giving any foods that are overly sally to your pets.

9 ... Milk

Milk and milk-based foods can cause diarrhea or d.igestive upset in pets because they lack significant amounts of 'lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose in milk.

10. Chocolate, Gaffei'ne and Coffee

These products contain rnethylxanthines, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea, panting, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures and even death in pets. Dark chocolate contains more methylxanthines than milk or white chocolate. so be especially careful to keep dark or baking chocolate away from your pets at all times.

the original "Clash of the Titans" tour united the three forces of thrash metal for the entire summer of 1991, with then-little known Alice in Chains serving as the opener. This tour, which falls under the "American Carnage" banner, isn't rewriting history; it's writing a whole new chapter of headbanging history that is sure to delight fans new and old.

Megadeth and Slayer return to North America late this month to co-headline the east coast Canadian Carnage tour, and then starting August 11, the first leg of the American Carnage tour (dates below) with Testament as Special Guest. The tour was originally scheduled for a winter 2010 run, but was postponed when Slayer bassist/vocalist Tom Araya was forced to undergo neck surgery.

Picks ot tt« Week

"Clash of the Titans" (PG~13) ~ - What a glorious hot mess of a movie this is. Based on the equally hot-mess stop-motion Ray Harryhausen epic of the 1980s, "Clash of the Titans" is a lot like "300" -- lots of buff boys shouting and killin' stuff -- and should be enjoyed in the same vein. The film stars Sam Worthington, that untalented hunk 0' meat from" Avatar," as Perseus, a guy who doesn't know that his daddy is Liarn Neeson (aka the "Release the Kraken" guy). Perseus goes on a quest to kill stuff: giant scorpions, the Medusa, witches, etc. before Liam Neeson's brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes, who still insists "Ralph" be pronounced RAFE) destroys a port. Or something. It doesn't matter. All you need to do is watch stuff get busted up real good, listen to the shouting and keep shoveling down the popcorn and pizza rolls.

"Repo Men" (R) -- Speaking of hot messes, this futuristic gore fest starring Forest Whitaker and Jude Law about two guys who repossess body parts from people who can't make the payments could've been a darkly funny satire, but instead settles on the Lotsa Blood Equals Entertainment route. If you're a fan

of the "Saw" or "Hostel" films, you'll probably like this movie, but everyone else should stay away.

"FIFA World Cup DVD Collection: 1930-2006" (Unrated) ~~ Spanning 15 discs, this boxed set is definitely a must-have for the hardcore soccer fan. And that soccer fan's name is Ernie Bushmiller of Ft. Lee, N.J. Oh, I kid.

I kid. There's gotta be more than one American who's so into soccer that they'll shell out 90 bucks for what is essentially a 24-hour highlight reel

of every goal scored in the World Cup final. Also included in the collection are 15 mini-documentaries on the world's greatest players (Pele and ... 14 other guys you've probably never heard of). WHOOOOO!!! SOCCER FEVER -- CATCH IT!!!

"Rambo: The Complete Collector's Set" [BIu-RayI (R) -- The set contains the high-def versions of the DVDs: "First Blood: Ultimate Edition," "Rambo: First Blood Part II:

Ultimate Edition," "Rambo III:

Ultimate Edition" and "John Rambo:

Special Edition," complete with all the bells, whistles, commentary tracks and special features included in the previous Iow-def releases.

"Look Around You" Season One" (Unrated) -- Co-written and starring comedian Peter Serafinowicz, "Look Around You" is one of the funniest and most surreal television programs I've seen since

"Wonder Showzen." Originally broadcast on the BSC in 2002, this cult classic finally made its American run last year on

..... _...3 Adult Swim.

"Look Around You" is a spoof of educational television shows from the 1970s and '80s. The episodes (or "modules" as they're called) are meticulously shot to look like worn, scratched, dated film from the era, with washed-out colors and fake scientific apparatus bedecked with DYMO labels, vintage LED readouts and faux-wood trim.

What makes the show so surreal is that even though it's made to look like it was shot in the 1970s, the era in question must exist in another universe, as things such as ghosts are scientifically proven to be real (and in one module it is explained why they can't sneeze), and ants apparently have An Agenda.

The DVD not only contains the entire first season, but also features several commentary tracks by Serafinowicz, co-writer Robert Popper, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and Tim & Eric, along with a slew of cool special features.

Birthday Bash, J Edwards Style!

This is one dude who knows how to party. The eleventh annual J Edwards Birthday Bash is set for July 31 at the Jamil Temple in Columbia, S.C. from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m.

Singer/songwriter J Edwards has been throwing his own birthday party since the year 2000. One Saturday night, which happened to be his birthday, he had a gig booked at a joint called Sandra's Corner Pocket.

"I invited some blues buddies to come and jam with me," he remembers. "I couldn't pay them, but I figured I could handle the bar tab. II was a lot of fun, and the tips covered the tab, so it was a great birthday."

He did it again and by the third year out, he had so many bands wanting to play he had to make a schedule.

"I've had up to 15 bands, but cut back now because I'm actually paying them!" he told me in between finishing work on his new CD, finalizing band schedules, selling tickets and organizing raffles for the nonprofits involved and who knows what else.

The entertainment ranges from full on electric blues to funked up R&B, rockabilly, modern rock and smooth acoustic country.

This year's line-up covers a lot of ground. Here are some of the players.

Rob Crosby (acoustic country)

This Sumpter, S.C. boy moved hisself to Nashville in the late eighties and has scored hits as both songwriter and artist. He has writing credits on "Concrete Angel" performed by Martina McBride, "She's More" by Andy Griggs and "Holdin' a Good Hand" by Lee Greenwood. His own top ten hits include "She's a Natural," "Love Will Bring Her Around" and ''Burn in' For You."

Talking about Crosby, Edwards says, "Rob is just smooth .. that's alll can say ... the boy just drips with honey. His songwriting abilities weave a message that's pretty phenomenal." Showtime 5:45 p.m.

J Edwards is releasing his latest CD at his birthday bash on July 31.

Rickey Godfrey (soul-

bl ues guitarist/s ingerlsong~ writer)

Whether you're talking vocals or instrumental, Nashville's Rickey Godfrey is recognized not just in Music City and his home state of South Carolina, but all over the world. He's toured and played with Sam Moore, Rufus Thomas, the Box Tops, Johnny Jones and Billy Preston. J Edwards said, "Rickey's superb bluesmanship captures attention wherever he goes. He's got such a cool groove. Folks are going to be blown away." Godfrey, who is currently working on his own blues album for release later this year, also played on Lulu's House, J Edwards CD on the Serenity Hill label, set for release at the Birthday Bash. I've heard a few of the tracks and can't wait to hear the rest. Showtime 3:15 p.m.

Tommy Tutone (80s pop, rockabiUy)

Best known for his hit "867- 5309/Jenny" from his gold album Tutone 2, Tommy is working on a new CD called Soul Twang, bringing a new synthesis of rockabilly, soul and country to the table. Gonna be fun. Showtime 6:30 p.m.

Soul Mites (funk-rock)

This quartet has been together since college, and on the S.C. music scene for some 13 years. Lead singer Tim Davis' raspy voice adds to their unique sound. Edwards said, "These guys are pure funk

rock ... their grooves are unbelievable." Showtime 7:30 p.m.

Cravin' Melon (Southern rock, folk rock, rockabiUy) This is one of those bands

you just golla see live. Their fans, who range from the fanatical Front Row Club to newbie melonheads are practically part of the show. The band mixes southern charm with tasty guitar licks, vocals and rhythm section to serve up a feast of musical morsels. Get yourself some. Showtime 9:45 p.m.

Midway Blue (Southern rock) Out of Florence, S.C., these guys recenlly played the Charlotte Motor Speedway and won the semi finals round of the SPEED channel's talent show, "Fast Track to Fame." J Edwards is really enthusiastic about this group. "Midway Blue have a really cool take on Southern country rock ... kind of a BeaUes' flair and it's straight into Craig Morgan country sound with a lillie Lynyrd Skynyrd over the top." Showtime 5:45 p.m.

S~Tribe (experimental) Latin influences, funky phrasing and straight up rock are words that founders Gabriel Lopez and Charles Funk use to describe their unique musical sound. You'll have to hear it for yourself. (If you're already a J Edwards fan, you know Funk as his scorch i ng guitarist.) S h owtim e 2 p.m.

General admission tickets for the Birthday Bash are $15 advance/$20 at the door. VIP tables for four cost $200. A portion of your ticket price will go to one of half a dozen charities. There will also be raffles and silent auctions going on ali day.

For more information on the charities, schedules or tickets, visit www.jedwardsband.com or "J Edwards 11th Annual Birthday Bash" page on Facebook or call 803-315- 1901. J Edwards Band showtime 8:45 p.rn.

Port City Blues Fest

This year the Cape Fear Blues Festival is celebrating its fifteenth birthday and it will be another birthday bash to write home about. From July 23 - 25, Wilmington,. N.C. will be full of blues fans ready to take in one great show after another.

The Festival opens Friday night with the traditional Blues Cruise aboard the triple deck Henrietta III riverboat at the corner of Water Street and Dock. The two-hour party along the Cape Fear will be rockin' with performances by Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton and his band. The only thing hotter than his slide guitar is his Liquid Summer Hot Sauce. I want me some of both! Locals Dusty Long & Friends and Rick

Tobey will be adding to the fun, and don't forget to check out Spider Mike Bochey as you board.(Tickets $49).

Over at the Rusty Nail, the Dynamic Thermotones will take the stage at 9 p.m. for a night of blues-driven R&B. And don't be surprised if things get funky! Love this band! The Rusty Nail, located at 1310 South 5th St., is a typical little juke joint, and one of myfaves. It's home to Wilmington's weekly blues jam. Call the club at 910-251-1888 for ticket info (Tickets $3).

Saturday's the big day and the festival concert is moving back to Legion Stadium under the tent. Yay! This year, according to everyone's blues buddy, Festival organizer Lan Nichols, there will be five blues acts starting at noon and

going pretty much nonstop until almost 7 p.m. Here's the lineup: Mac Arnold & Plate Full '0 Blues, Jen & Tonic, Tampa Blue, the Cape Fear Blues Jam Band and Blind Lemon Pledge.

Mac Arnold has toured and recorded with the Muddy Waters Band. You will love the funked up soul-blues of Mac Arnold & Plate Full '0 Blues.

Jen & Tonic is a group I've been wanting to see live. They put out a great blend of classic blues and soul, throwing in some contemporary stuff just to mix it up.

If you're into finger-style guitar and acoustic blues, you'll especially enjoy the soulful sound of Florida'sTampa Blue.

Local Wilmington group Blind Lemon Pledge, although fairly new to the scene, was the 2009 Cape Fear Blues Challenge winner. They feature Jaime Michele on lead vocals and Mark Scott on guitar and vocals. Last, but not least.fs local favorite Cape Fear Blues Jam Band.

Bill "Sauce Boss" Wharton is headlining the Festival's Friday night Blues Cruise.

By the way, parking is free.

You'll find plenty of food and drink vendors, restrooms and even games for the kids. Don't forget your lawn chairs and blankets. (Tickets $12

adva ncef$15 at the gate).

Saturday night, there's another shindig at the Rusty Nail, this time with the everpopular Ten Dollar Thrill. And they are thrilling. (Tickets $3).

Robert Wilkinson

By Paul Gable

Born in Freeman, W.v. in 1928, Robert Wilkinson was too young to enlist in the military during World War 11 so he opted to join the Merchant Marine.

"I wanted to do something to help the war effort, but I was only 16, so I joined the Merchant Marine," said Wilkinson.

Wilkinson was swominto the Merchant Marine in July 1944 and was sent to the Sheeps Head Bay Merchant Marine Training Center. After cornpleting training in October 1944, Wilkinson traveled to San Francisco on a troop train where he was assigned to the S.S. John T. Fitzsimmons.

"The only type of ship I didn't want to get assigned to was a lanker, so, naturally, the Fitzsimmons was a tanker," said Wilkinson.

The ship left San Francisco and sailed to Pearl Harbor

where it joined a hug.e convoy of ships.

"As we arrived off of Diamond Head, all you could see from horizon to horizon was ships loaded with supplies for the troops in the Pacific," said Wilkinson.

The next spring, Wilkinson was in the North Atlantic taking supplies to Europe. He was on ships that made trips to Poland, Sweden, Holland and Belgium.

"The war was over and many of the countries didn't have ooal for heat or food to eat," said Wilkinson. "We provided supplies so the people wouldn't freeze or starve."

After he turned 18, Wilkinson got married and joined the Army Air Corps.

"I wanted to do something more and it seemed like the best option for a newly married man," said Wilkinson.

Wilkinson went through basic training at Chanute Army Air Force Base, graduated from Airplane Engine Mechanic School at Biloxi, Mississippi and served two years at Shepard Field in Texas before receiving his discharge.

He and his wife returned to

Mahaney Hired As New City Manag'er For NMB

By Nicole Aiello

Michael Mahaney has been appointed city manager for the City of North Myrtle Beach by City Council

Mayor Hatley and City Council members met in executivesession earlier this month to interview three final candidates for the city manager position. City Council took no action in executive session, but came out of executive session and made the decision to offer the city manager position to Mahaney. He will begin working with the City of North Myrtle Beach in early July,. contingent on the results of his physical examination. Current city manager John Smithson's retirement date has not been set yet and he will work with the new city manager until further notice.

Mr. Mahaney, who received a Master of Business Administration from James Madison University and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Virginia

Polytechnic and State University, began his career in local government management in 1981 as manager for the Borough of Somerset in Pennsylvania. He has continued his career as city manager for the City of Covington, Va.; the City of St. Mary's, Ga.; and the City of Kannapolis, N.C. Most recently, Mr. Mahaney worked as the county administrator of Nassau County., Fla., and the city manager for the City of Deerfield Beach, Fla.

West Virginia where Wilkinson spent three years in the Air Force Reserve before receivi'ng his third and final discharge.

"I have three discharges from th ree differe nt services," Wilkinson said. "I am proud of all three, but the one that prob-

ably means the most to me is the discharge from the Merchant Marino. In my opinion, the 16~year olds did a lot to help win World War II and J was part of that effort."

Wilkinson is a charter member of the new Merchant Marine

acting, M. Night's directing or scripting massacre of the popular anime story or the terrible martial arts choreography.

The real crime is the marketing of the movie in the 3D format.

I have complained about 3D effects being slapped on movies-most notably the recent Wonderland debaucherys tend only to make the movie darker and generally unwalchable in order to throw a couple of beach balls at the audience. I was WOfried that this would happen to Avatar, especiatry since the early trailers did not mention 3D.

However, "Avatar" does

something even worse than this ..

There were no 3D effects in the movie! The trailers were in 3D. The beginning title sequence and all the production houses' I'ogos had 3D. The credits had 3D. During the actual movie, none. I am not talking about effects that were really bad. I am saying that not a single fireball, ioe ball or earth clod that came out of the screen. No

Determination: The Essential Ingredient For Your Success

How "positive" are you?

When you first got up this morning, it began as a gorgeous summer day. The sun was shining bright, the birds were singing their song and summer flowers were blooming pretty. How could you possibly be anything other than exhilarated?

Wllile you may have started your day off on a positive note ... will it stay that way? Will you? One of the main keys to staying the course in business and in life hinges on your ability to have enough positive "determination" and perseverance to keep your optimistic attitude through to the end of the day.

No one has stated this point more clearly than did John Calvin Coolidge. Take heart from his wisdom and carefully consider his sage advice ...

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence, Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated

derelicts. Persistence and

determination alone are

omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

When it comes to financial backing for business start-ups, investment groups long ago came to the conclusion the most significant predictor of success is "determination" In fact, talent is highly overrated

in comparison to determination, because raw talent crafts a better upfront storyline. Simply

arrows, spears or swords threatened the goggled eyes of the audience. Nevertheless, glasses were still required to reintegrate the separated colors of the film, which is doubly annoying when you already have to wear glasses.

So, not only was this movie bad, but fraudulent as well The studios, producers, director, special effects companies and the movie theaters should be sued for misrepresentation, false advertisement and anything else a smart lawyer can think of.

Changing the Way We Work

As an experiment,1 wrote this weeks column on my iPad, and the overall experience was pleasant. Whil.e not perfect, Pag.es for the iPad worked quite well and getting use to the touchscreen keyboard was not difficult. The hardest parts were the change in layout, with symbols and numbers being on ditferent "screens", and adapting to the word-suggestion tool.

The iPad's size was no hindrance. In fact, it worked quite well in my lap or on the table.

In addition, the picture of me working was taken on my MyTouch Slide and edited on the Android smartphone with Photoshop Mobile. However to

recall all Ihe can't miss stories about sports and business figures that never amounted to a hill of beans. More often than not, the "phenom" that can't fail, .. invariably does.

Charlie Hustle on the other hand, will time and again outwork and thereby out perform the competition hands down - because of his or her determination and grit. Interestingly enough, the more that you closely observe someone thatis truly determined - the more their tenacity to succeed begins to mirror talent. ln the end analysis, success will always depend more on determination and perseverance than intellect.

The other ingredient that seems to coexist in the same continuum as determination ... is "arnbitlon", While seemingly inseparable, ambition that is fueled by determination is a lightening rod for achievement and success Following are several valuable perspectives for bolstering your determination and perseverance on a consistent basis:

• Start your day with an inspiration scripture, quotation or video dip. Take Mid of the opportunity to keep this

Working in the office is becoming a thing of the past as devices like the iPad and Sma.rtphone put desktop tools anywhere you want.

be honest, the pic will probably have to run through regular Photoshop to be converted into the proper format. I did crop and color correct it on my phone though.

This is just a test of the changing ways we can work. I am finishing this article while in between matches during a pool tournament at a local biker bar.

resource fresh in your mind - so that you can mentally reconnect to the inspiration message time and again throughout the course of your day,

• Use your drive time to your utmost advantage. Statistically, you will spend anywhere from 500 to 1,000 hours annually commuting to and from your workplace. This represents a tremendous opportunity to learn and be more inspired. Allocate this precious time wisely by listening to motivational CD's, audio books or educational materials that will reinforce a positive attitude, while enhancing your professional perform-

ance.

• Create a "why" reminder: It is a given that you are going to face numerous challenges on a daily basis. When the going gets tough and the issues of the day become clouded -- nothing is more important than being able to take a momentary timeout to remind yourself exactly "why" you're doinq what ever ,it is that you do. What is your motivating purpose for doing same? What makes it all worth while? Now rededicate yourself to "press on."

Having and maintaining a

mindset of determination and persistence amounts to nothing more than the willfu.1 choice to do it. Life is all about "choices" ... some will be easy ... while others will be excruciatingly difficult. At the end of the day ... it will be the choices that you've made that will determine the quality of the life that you and your family will live.

What will you choose to want so badly, that you absolutely have to have or achieve it. .. no matter what it takes? Choose wisely ... and then use your determination and grit to give ,it everything that you've g.ot!

The Un-Comfort Zone

By Robert Wilson

The First Million

Unlill was 30 years old, I wasn't much of a fisherman. I'd take a rod and reel along on a camping trip, but I never expected to catch much of anything. In my mind, fishing was a relaxing pastime you enjoyed with friends and beer. Then my buddy Brian asked me to go fishing. I took him to a lake I knew that was hiddenin the woods; and he taught me how to fish for bass. He showed me how to cast my lure along the edge of the lake; how to give the line a couple of tugs to "jig" the lure and attract the fish; then to reel it back in quickly.

I accepted his instructions affably, but with little faith, then popped open a bottle of beer and started to get into the rhythm of relaxation. Cast, tug, reel. Swi9. Cast, tug, reel. Swig. Cast, tug, reeL .. Whoa! Something hit my line. Hard. Really hard! I'd never felt anything

like that before. My line started spinning out of the reel with a high-pitched whining sound. I cranked it back in as fast I as could, but the drag was set too low and the fish was pulling it back out faster than I could turn the handle.

Suddenly, a hundred feet in front on me, a bright green monster burst out of the lake. It was a large-mouth bass that came full length out of the water. Shimmer.ing in the sunl.ight, he shook his head back and forth in an attempt to break free from my hook, then splashed back beneath the surface. I couldn't believe it - it was just like I'd seen on tel-

evision ~ and it was happening to me.

Afraid that I'd lose the fish, I yelled at the top of my lungs, "Brian, Help!" He was nearly hal.fway around the lake, but he dropped his own rod and charged toward me; yelling instructions all the way. I tightened the drag and reeled the fish in a liitle, then let him pull the line back out to tire him. It felt like an hour, but was probably less than ten minutes, before I finally got him in. He was 18 inches long and weighed eight pounds. The bass wasn't the only one to get hooked that day; I was too ~ I couldn't wait to go fishing again!

For the first time in my life, I had experienced fishing success. Success in anything is very motivating. It builds confldence and encourages you to keep pursuing that particular endeavor.

in sales, getting to thai first closed deal is critical for getting people to stay in that profession. When I started out in my first sales job, I recall becoming deeply discouraged by hearing "No," over and over again. I mistakenly took the rejec-

tion personally, and wanted to give up too soon. I recall the old timers advising me, "II's just a numbers game - you have to get a certain number of rejections before you'll get a sale."

Over time, I realized that was not realIy accurate. It is only a numbers game in that every single sales attempt is a baby step up the learning curve. You learn how to read body languag.e; and how to listen carefully to what your prospect is telli'ng you about his or her needs. Then from these things you gain clues in how to share your expertise so that your custamer has enoug.h confidence to buy from you. Eventually, you go from baby steps to giant steps. Wealthy, successful people have always said, "The first million is the hardest to make."

More About Ingredients

Want to know just what is in your cleaner? Here's a glossary of common natural ingredients and what they do in home care products.

More people than ever are looking for more natural ways to keep their homes clean and free of harsh chemical fumes and residues. But there is still plenty of confusion about the best way to do that. With so many products making vague claims, it can be hard to make an informed decision. What works? What's truly natural?

This guide to greening your clean will help you make smarter, more natural cleaning choices for your home.

Organic Program, which requlates the national organic standards, does not currently regulate home care products.

How to Clean Green Clearing the Air

Dust harbors pollen, pet dander, bacteria, mites, mold and mildew, To control dust:

• Use electrostatically charged dusters or damp rags frequently. • Use vacuums with HEPA fil.ters that trap fine particles.

• Change your home's air filters every month or two.

• Remove your shoes before entering the house to avoid tracking in dirt, dust and pollen. • Use kitchen and exhaust fans to increase ventilation and reduce exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that get released into the air,

Alkyl PoJyglucoside

Cleaning agent made from coconuts. Cleans - helps lift dirt, grease and other messes.

Credible Seals

Look for products that have one or more certifications or seals from credible sources such as Good Housekeeping,

the Natural Products

Association and the

Environmental Protection

Agency.

• Natural Products Association (NPA) Natural Home Care standard: The NPA has deveioped a natural standard for home care products. This means that the NPA has reviewed the product's ingredi~ ents and manufacturing processes, and determined that it meets the organization's rigorous guid.elines. This easily identifiable seal will help consumers discern which products meet the organization's standard of natural. www,npainfo.org.

• Green Good Housekeeping Seal: Introduced in 2009 by Good Housekeeping magazine and the Good Housekeeping Researchlnstilule (GHRI), the seal helps consumers sift through the confus.ing clutter of "green" claims on hundreds of products on store shelves today. www.goodhouse.keeping.com ,

• Environmental Protection

Agency's Design for the

Environment program: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created the Design for the Environment (DtE) Program to evaluate products that are made with safer chemistry methods. This logo on a label means that the review team has screened the manufacturing. process for the product for potential environmental effects, www.epa.gov.

Understanding Label Language

There are a lot of product labels that use words like "ecofriendly," "organic," and "nontoxic." Unlike Ih.6 food world, when it comes to cleaning products, these terms are .largely unregulated, so they can be misleading.

Read past the vague claims and take a closer look at the product's label. Here's what 10 look for:

Plant-Based Ingredients.

look for plant-based ingredients rather than petroleumbased ones. For example, citric acid, which is derived from cltrus fruits like lemons and limes, acts as a soil remover in natural cleaners.

Citric Acid

Softening agent made from citrus plants.

Helps remove soils.

Cleaning Kitchens and Bathrooms

• For an all-natural way to clean the oven, try using a nonabrasive scrubbing pad and baking soda. Make a thick paste of baking soda and water and apply to the stove. leave it overnight and rinse with water the next day.

• Prevent the build-up of mold in the bathroom by regularly running an exhaust fan. Keep in mind, the easiest way to clean is to avoid the mess in the first place.

Soar & Explore Zip Line Now Open

By Jamie Wilburn

Soar & Explore, a familyfriendly attraction that features two outdoor adventures, officially opened earlier this month at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The new attraction includes the Ropes Challenge Course and the Zipline Adventure, and is operated by WonderWorks Management.

Soar & Explore's much-anticipated Zipline Adventure is the first and only zip line in the Myrtle Beach area, and the only zip line over water along the East Coast. Zip lines are the hottest new adventure activity in the U.S., and this spectacular ride takes the zip line thrill up a notch by reaching across scenic Lake Broadway. Safely within a harness, each adrenaline seeker can experience the exhilaration of soaring at a height of 50 feet above 23-acres of water.

The excitement continues over at Soar & Explore's Ropes Challenge Course. Opened on May 28,2010, the course has a pirate theme and extends 40 feet into the air, stretching over three levels, and extending over Lake Broadway. Constructed of more than 3,000 ropes and cables, it features 33 different challenge elements that require balance, dexterity and focus to conquer. Obstacles like swinging steps, tremor bridge, tightrope walk, and vertical angle stairs are among the challenges. The multiple levels of this exciting and versatile course ensure that all age groups can experience it and be challenged by its various degrees of difficulty. The Ropes Challenge Course is a perfect attraction for adventurous families who want to engage in friendly physical competitions.

"WonderWorks Management is very excited about bringing Soar & Explore to the Myrtle

Beach area," said Jackie Vasquez, director of sales & marketing for WonderWorks. "For the first time ever, Broadway at the Beach's 14 million annual visitors will have the opportunity to experience the hottest new trend in outdoor adventure attractions as part of their vacations. Whether they want to soar across Lake Broadway on the Zipline Adventure or engage in a little friendly physical competition on the Ropes Challenge Course, we guarantee they will have a thrilling and memorable experience at Soar & Explore."

Located on the southwestern side of Broadway at the Beach adjacent to Tripp's restaurant, Soar & Explore is currently opened from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.; varying by season. The price to take on the Ropes Challenge Course is $11.99 per person (plus tax), while the Zipline Adventure is $1 9.99 per person (plus tax). However, Adventure Combo packages are available for $26.99 and include both the Ropes Challenge Course and Zlpllne Adventure. More information is available at www.soarandexplore.com or by calling 843-448-S0AR (7627).

"We're extremely pleased to have Soar & Explore as our latest Broadway at the Beach attraction," said Sherry Leonard, general manager of Broadway at the Beach. "It's new and different, and no other place in Myrtle Beach has anything like it. Soar & Explore offers yet another exciting way for families to have fun at Broadway at the Beach. WonderWorks has created a truly magical attraction for all ages to enjoy."

In addition to Soar & Explore, WonderWorks Management plans to open one of its signature "amusement parks for the mind," at Broadway at the Beach in spring, 2011.

WonderWorks will be a 35,000- square-foot upside down attraction that will feature dozens of hands-on activities for people of all ages. It will complement Soar & Explore which provides adventure for the body, by providing stimulating mind challenges, as well as additional physical ones.

Bad Trip Productions and Guerilla Theatre are presenting "A Piece of My Heart," by Shirley Lauro, at the Browncoat Pub & Theatre in Wilmington, N.C, The show opened July 15 and runs for three consecutive weekends, wrapping up on Sunday,. August 1.

Directed by Nick Smith and produced by Charles Auten, "A Piece of My Heart" is an exami-

nation of the experiences of a diverse group of women both during and in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Told with a unique, ever-shifting narrative structure, the play takes the audience on a multi-faceted journey through the war's fierce landscape, from the horror of mass casualties at military hospitals to the small respite offered by USO shows to the

frustration and anger of those who knew what was really going on and how it could have been prevented. It then moves to the years after the war, following the women back to the home front to see not only how the country they'd left behind had changed, but how the war had changed them inside,

The production features a cast bringing to life the stories and experiences of these women: Susan .Auten as Martha, an Army brat eager to serve her country on the front lines as a nurse; Erin Hunter as Whitney, an aristocratic teacher who volunteers for the Red Cross; Brandy Jones as Sissy, an empathetic nurse desperate to get out of her stifling small town; Heather Howard as LeeAnn, an anti-war Asian American who joins up hoping to serve on the glittering beaches of Hawaii; Artris Woodard as Steele, a hard-nose intelligence officer struggling against the prejudices she feels as a black woman in a white man's army, and musician Andi Angel, in her stage debut, as Mary Jo, a singing southern belle seeking to entertain the troops by touring with the USO. Rounding out the cast is Hank Toler, in over a dozen roles as each and every male character in the story.

"A Piece of My Heart" features an ambitious storytelling structure, in which the plot constantly shifts between each woman's individual story, with the rest of the cast becoming the secondary characters in

Hnowthe Sian:s 0' a Sick Cat

DEAR PAW'S CORNER:

I'm writing in response to Frustrated in Philadelphia concerning a cat soiling on the top of her bed. I agree that urinary Iract issues could be the problem. Something else to, consider is diabetes. I had a cat that suddenly starling urinating' on piles of clothes and on top of beds. He also had lost weight. Watching the cat, I saw him "camping out" over the water bowl often, which caused massive clots in the titter and wherever he went.

Obsessive thirst is a sign of diabetes, so I took him to the vet, and we are now giving him insulin shots twice a day. Hence, the problem with going outside the box has ceased.

- Jeanne M., viae-mail

DEAR JEANNE:

Thanks! That is definitely another possibility to consider.

Cat owners, if at any time your cat shows a change in behavior or begins repeatedly doing undesirable things that II didn't do before - such as going' outside the lilter box, eating Of drinking changes, or hissing at seemingly nothing - bring your cat to the veterinarian.

Other signs of III health in a cat include a dirty or matted coat - cats ar€ obsessive about cleaning themselves, so this can be a big sign of a problem - wheezing, drooling or lethargy. And if your cal just doesn't seem like itself but you can', pinpoint any clear symptoms, check with the vet anyway. Cats are good at hiding illness: it's an instinctive survival mechanism.

"X" .. arks the Spot

DEAR PAW'S GORNER:

A friend of mine told me that he trained his dog to go in a specific spot in his backyard by using a scented rock to mark the spot. How does that work, and where can I get this rock? - Frank in West Roxbury, Mass.

DEAR FRANK:

Your friend essentially trained his dog to identify a particular scent with a location that's OK for him to eliminate. Using a focal point like the rock is pretty helpful when you're trying to train your dog to do this. Hopefully the scent is unique enough that the dog won't smell it elsewhere in or around his neighbor's house!

You can most likely find something liike the scented rock (or a similar training tool) at a local pet store or online. look under house training or basic obedience.

Most dogs can be trained to use a specific spot, or several deslqnated spots. It's best if this training begins early in a dog's life. If the dog is used to just running anywhere in the yard to do his business, oisasscoiatinq him from this behavior is necessary and adds time to the process. You'll also need to be absctutety disciplined yourself with this method - tak.ing the dog out at specified times, daily, to th.at spot, until he cornpletely associates the area with allrnination.

Ultimately, you'll want to be able 10 just let the dog outside at that specified time and have him go on his own in that spot, although some dogs may never reach that point.

The upside of this, of course, is that your lawn wiH remain free of little surprises as well as yellowed spots on the grass. The extra benefit, however, is that you give your dog a little more "face time" as you work with him to use the designated spot, something that rewards both of you.
