The unsung hero of Farrison-Newton’s Third Floor
If you walk the halls of N.C. Central University’s Farrison-Newton Communications Building sometime after 3 p.m., you’d probably run into the custodian, “Mr. Ben.” He’ll be walking with his yellow janitor cart, stopping at offices, bathrooms and classrooms. He’ll definitely be sporting some fresh shoes — maybe some Chucks, Pumas, or Nike Dunks. If you compliment him on those, he’ll thank you and tell you that his wife and daughter buy him too many. Then, he’ll continue on his way, quietly.

Bylaw and Order Dice — Haley Moore
My contribution to the Desert Bus for Hope Craftalong is done! This set of dice has taken a lot of planning to pull off. I was inspired this year by the cool shift-themed Battletech minis auctioned off last year. I have been itching to do more miniature work and, of course, I’ve spent the last year making a lot of dice. So this set is full of tiny treasures. Each die is intended to be a little snippet of the adventure in Bylaw and Order, which is my favorite Dice Friends campaign so far.
The Strength You Build
Written By: Haley Moore Haley Moore is a 2020 rookie on the LPGA Tour. Published: Aug 04, 2020 Topic: Haley Moore Drive On You always hear them, everyone does. But after a while, the taunts, “jokes” and mean little snickers and smiles, the commerce of bullies everywhere, tends to roll off of you. Like with any disease, you build up an immunity to bullying.

Wine & Spirits Magazine | Drinking Alone, Together: Tina Vaughn

2020 Geoff Ogilvy ISPS Handa Vic Open
I’ve always been a fan of the women’s game but not to the degree I am now. I couldn’t watch the LPGA Tour, LET or ALPG that much throughout my career because I was playing at the same times as the women. I would always catch the ANA Inspiration, the old Dinah Shore, out in the California desert because it felt like The Masters for the LPGA Tour. It was fun to settle in and watch because it always aired later in the day on the East Coast.

How does an eraser work?
Erasers help us get rid of our mistakes. The “lead” in the pencil is actually graphite, which is made up of carbon.

Erasers are mixed with sulfur to make them last longer, vegetable oil is added to soften them and make them more flexible. Abrasives and dyes also are added.
