Nancy Ann (Gebhardt) Bonser, 80, of Sanibel, Fla., and Bloomington, Ind., passed away. She was born Sept. 30, 1933 in Springfield, Ohio, the daughter of Carl and Edna Gebhardt.
She graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1955 with a major in Education and Speech Therapy, and was active in her sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. Growing up with a love of dance, Nancy continued dancing in college, performing in several Bowling Green modern dance productions.
On July 3, 1955 she married Charles F. Bonser. Early in their marriage Nancy taught Speech Therapy in North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas while Charles was in the Air Force. In 1959 they moved to Bloomington, Ind. In Bloomington, she turned her love and energy to raising their children while also volunteering in the community and in the local schools. She especially enjoyed her work with special needs children in the schools.

Nancy was also an important partner and support for Charles during his years as professor and dean at Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), hosting many events for the school as well as visitors from around the world at their home, always with her bright smile. She was particularly involved with supporting the many programs the school conducted internationally.
Nancy enjoyed her time traveling the world with friends and family, always eager to see new places and meet new people. She also took time volunteering in the local schools while living in Australia, England, and France. Her favorite spot to relax, however, was Sanibel, which she and Charles first visited in 1965, and bought a home in 1974. On Sanibel she enjoyed tap dancing, biking and attending performances at the BIG ARTS. She was a member of PEO, active in her church and a volunteer at the BIG ARTS. One of her greatest joys and blessings was being a grandmother to her four grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Charles F. Bonser of Sanibel, Fla., and Bloomington, Ind.; her daughter Catherine (Rob) Neal of Carmel, Ind.; her son Andrew (Heather) Bonser of Greenwood, Ind.; and her grandchildren Matt Neal, Meagan Neal, Emily Bonser and Jordan Bonser; her brother Carl (Sheila) Gebhardt of Duarte, Calif..
She is preceded in death by her parents, son Jeffrey Aaron Bonser and brother Richard Gebhardt.
Nancy's beautiful smile and generous heart will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Celebration of Life Ceremonies will be held on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2013 at 3 p.m. at The Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ with a reception following at the Sanibel Community House, and on Saturday, Feb. 1 at the Indiana University Foundation in Bloomington, Ind., at 3 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to any of the following organizations important to Nancy: The Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ, 2050 Periwinkle Way Sanibel, Fla. 33957 or The Barrier Island Group of the Arts (BIG ARTS) 900 Dunlop Rd, Sanibel, Fla. 33957.

Let us begin "Paris Part Deux" with one of the more magnificent and elaborate meals I had the pleasure of indulging in. Chez l'Ami Jean is a restaurant that Tommy and Mike had been sending guests to for years, but had yet to try themselves. Everyone would come back raving about this tiny, bustling, and rustic spot.
The recommended aperitif was a Spanish cooked wine called txapa. It was a deep pink, slightly sweet, barely chilled, delicious. We decided to go for one of the tasting menus. It began with a bowl of artfully piled small pieces of raw fish. Onto this the waiter poured a piping hot, deep-brick-colored fish soup. The soup slowly cooked the fish bits, which remained slippery and moist while absorbing the flavor of the broth. Somewhere on the bottom were crunchy bits of breadcrumbs toasted in olive oil, giving the soup texture.
This was followed by squares of cod topped with crispy lardons of bacon and sitting on a bed of julienned sautéed celery. Next came little beef medallions with a salty anchovy sauce, a hint of cardamom and herbs, and an electric green spinach purée, then rabbit that was swathed in an inky-dark foie gras sauce. The portions were small, but at this point I feared I could not keep up with the big boys. Next up, seared rare duck breast accompanied by pork belly, garnished with a ribbon of crisp yet pale cured bacon. All of it sitting atop a potato galette. Uncle!
The dessert, deceptively simple, was so inspiring that I did my best to duplicate it upon my return. A big bowl of creamy rice pudding was placed in the center of the table and we could serve ourselves as much as we pleased. The accompaniments that made the pudding shine were fresh raspberry sauce, candied sliced almonds, salted caramel whipped cream, an apple bergamot purée, and to follow, a mint sorbet with fresh raspberries. I asked my hosts if requesting a doggy bag was acceptable in Paris. Non! But I couldn't let my piece of duck go to waste and asked for one anyway. The waiter did not mind a bit, and that piece of duck found its way into a rich cassoulet back at Tommy's a few nights later.
In the first of what would be several small world coincidences in Paris, we even ran into some acquaintances from East Hampton at Chez l'Ami Jean.
One of my favorite wanderings with Tommy was the hardware department in the basement of a department store. Everything looks different, more artfully arranged, from the brass fixtures to the wastebaskets to the electric radiators. Another shop had a window display of corks, all shapes and sizes.
The Sunday flea market was another revelation. Not so much for the massive amounts of gilded furniture or the distinguished armoires, but for the picnics that each of the vendors was enjoying. It may have appeared that they were working on a Sunday but what I saw were tables laden with red wine, patés, loaves of whole-grain breads, and other round loaves hollowed out into which tea sandwiches had been layered. Nobody seemed to be competing for business; they were enjoying each other's company, gossiping, smoking, and tossing tidbits to the small dogs that had accompanied them to "work."
We ate several dinners at home, prepared by Tommy, a superb chef, in a kitchen the size of a closet. On the few evenings I was permitted into the closet to help, we had to take turns being in the kitchen-closet. One of our at-home meals was simply a salad of Bibb lettuce, arugula, radishes, toasted pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and almonds in a shallot dressing prepared by moi, padded out with some purchased Middle Eastern dips and vegetable dishes such as taramasalata (a salty roe spread), baba ghanoush, tzatziki, and roasted peppers.
A more elaborate meal at home was a rolled roast lamb prepared by the butcher with sundried tomatoes, herbs, and minced shallots, wrapped in caul fat, a very simple green salad with chervil and parsley, a layered tomato, zucchini, and onion gratin, and a Mont d'Or cheese (similar to Epoisses, which you can get in America). While shopping for this meal we argued vociferously over what to have for dessert. Tommy insisted that a bowl of grapes would suffice after such a rich repast. As a pastry chef, I wanted to buy the pretty square raspberry tart that I'd seen in the window of a shop the day before. I mean, really! Grapes?! Boy, was I wrong. The variety of grapes we bought and served was beyond anything I had tried before. They were the sweetest, most perfumy little things I have ever tasted. Truly, another revelation.
Before I departed for Paris, I told my son the dates I would be gone. "That's funny," he laughed. "Dad's going to be in Paris at the same time." Although amicably divorced for 16 years, we have never found a reason to see each other in New York, which would certainly make more sense. But it seemed like a hoot to get together in Paris, merely for the coincidental timing. I also wanted him to get reacquainted with my beautiful niece, Cristina, now 22, whom he hadn't seen since she was a baby. Coincidence on top of coincidence, she is living and studying in Paris in the same neighborhood where Tommy and Mike live. So we all ended up having a jolly cocktail party with Negronis and red wine, which then turned into an impromptu dinner. Tommy magically turned our leftover lamb and my duck from Chez l'Ami Jean into a quickie cassoulet.
On another lunch outing (Le Comptoir, brandade de morue, terrine of pot au feu, parmentier of oxtail, panna cotta with strawberries, prune and armagnac glacé . . .), we sat outside next to a couple from Costa Rica. We struck up a conversation and found out that they are friends of my sister-in-law from El Salvador. The coincidences were piling up!
Here are a few of the snack-meals that we never told Mike about. (Tommy and I broke the no-lunch-before-big-dinner rule every day.) After a morning of walking for miles on no breakfast, we stopped at a touristy-looking place called Le Moliere. With no expectations whatsoever, we ordered the buckwheat crepe with a creamy potato, lardons, and melted Reblechon cheese known as crepe Savoyarde. It was so rich and creamy and salty and smoky, we savored each bite. We left one teaspoonful on the plate so we could say we didn't finish it.
The last, and one of the most perfect snacks, was on my final day. Tommy, the most thoughtful of hosts, was taking me on my desired rounds to find gifts to bring home. The Maille mustard shop, La Praluline for chocolates and that crazy pink praline cake, a knife store for an Opinel picnic knife, and so on. We popped into a wine bar called L'Ecluse. We discussed the temptation of simply ordering a slab of foie gras to have with a glass of Sauternes. Too expensive, too extravagant, I protested. But guess what, folks? The cost of a memorable glass of Sauternes in Paris is no more than a glass of mediocre house wine in any restaurant in East Hampton. My flabber has never been so gasted! We ate slowly and sipped slowly, for there is nothing else you can do when faced with such dreamy French creations.
My last meal in Paris was a special treat. Dinner at Chez Georges, a restaurant so old that Tommy's parents had also gone there most of their lives. Another houseguest had arrived, adventurous Rosie, who lives and works as a pilot on tiny Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Tommy chose steak with marrow after a salad of frisée with lardons and a poached egg. Mike went for paté and lamb chops with french fries. Rosie went for the escargots and requested her fillet of sole be served whole. I had the frisée salad, a special of the evening, sautéed girolles mushrooms, and the fillet of sole meunierre. All of it was rich and magnificent, but really no better than our impromptu meals at home or the surprise of the crepe Savoyarde.
There were more meals packed into those six days that I haven't even described; onion soup, beet and mache salads, apple tarts with creme fraiche, and the discovery of kouign amann, a buttery Breton pastry I haven't come across in 20 years.
This story is mostly about food but the experience was not. The culture of France teaches you, or reminds you, to eat well and enjoy life. It can be done on a budget, and can even be done while you are at work selling furniture on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Tommy and Mike, this adventure has given me memories, inspiration, and friendships better than foie gras.

Research says that a later school start time positively impacts alertness, mental health, wellness and behavior in high school and middle school students, which means students are better prepared to learn.
Some area school districts have already implemented later start times. Others, including the Jefferson County and Douglas County districts, are exploring the possibility of making the move.
The most recent district to commit to the switch is Littleton Public Schools, whose board of education voted Dec. 14 for later school start times for middle and high school students beginning with the 2018-19 school year.
The decision to change school start times followed months of research analysis, parent presentations and extensive opportunities for parent, student and staff input through public forums, open houses and surveys.
"If we truly rely on what we believe is compelling scientific research, the question is: Why wouldn't we do it?" said Brian Ewert, superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. "The research is pretty clear about how much sleep adolescents should get, and more important is when they sleep."
According to Dr. Lisa Meltzer, National Jewish Health adolescent sleep expert, melatonin is a hormone released by the brain that controls the internal clock and prepares the body for sleeping. But during puberty, the timing of the melatonin release is delayed by up to two hours. This makes it nearly impossible for teens to fall asleep early.
This shift is also seen in the morning hours, showing that when a teen wakes at 6 a.m. that is equivalent of an adult waking at 4 a.m. An adolescent's brain is biologically asleep at that time.
A 2014 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools delay start of classes to 8:30 a.m. or later.
"Doing so will align school schedules to the biological sleep rhythms of adolescents, whose sleep-wake cycles begin to shift up to two hours later at the start of puberty," the report reads.
A National Sleep Foundation poll found 59 percent of sixth- through eighth-graders and 87 percent of high school students in the U.S. were getting less sleep than the recommended 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep on a school night.
"Chronic sleep loss in children and adolescents is one of the most common — and easily flexible — public health issues in the U.S. today," wrote pediatrician Judith Owens, in a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
A 2013 study by the Hanover Research Institute also found that "school districts could increase student safety and boost adolescent academic success by instituting later start times for middle and high school students."
"It was courageous because it does create hardships," Ewert said of the Littleton board's decision. "But I absolutely believe it was the right decision to make and I applaud the board for putting into perspective why we're doing this."
'A game-changer'
While Ewert said the shift will create some challenges, such as additional childcare needed for some elementary students, changes to the athletics schedule and reorganization of the transportation schedule, he thinks these obstacles should not get in the way of "doing the right thing for our adolescents."
"This one absolutely is in the best interest of our kids," Ewert said. "It wasn't about adults, it was about kids."
Ewert was involved in shifting the school start times when he was the superintendent of Englewood Public Schools.
Although the shift in Englewood five years ago was less about the research and more about being able to share staff between schools when the new Englewood High campus was built, Ewert said after the first year they saw a positive impact on behavior, an increase in attendance and a decrease in tardiness.
"I just think kids are more awake and ready to engage in learning," said Wendy Rubin, superintendent of Englewood Public Schools. "I think that the research is irrefutable — teenagers need more rest … it impacts brain development, social and emotional health and academics."
Cherry Creek School District implemented later start times for their middle and high school students this school year. While Deputy Superintendent Scott Siegfried said half a year is too early to track performance, the district is participating in a study with National Jewish Health to track changes in their students.
Siegfried said his district has seen better first-hour attendance and fewer behavioral problems.
"This is truly a game-changer for kids and I would encourage anyone to pay some serious attention to it," Siegfried said.
Pondering the shift
Jefferson County Public Schools, Douglas County School District and Westminster Public Schools are all in the process of exploring later school start times for secondary students for future academic years.
Westminster is in the early stages with what James Duffy, chief operating officer, referred to as creating draft proposals, policy discussions, internal vetting.
Jeffco is a little further along as the district will be hosting a meeting in mid-February to put a community task force together to examine the issue.
While Jeffco Superintendent Jason Glass said the brain science concerning sleep patterns for teenagers sparked this discussion, transportation issues offer challenges for a large district like Jeffco.
"There is a significant impact on transportation in the district," Glass said, adding that traffic patterns and buses that run to multiple schools will need to be taken into account when working on a possible shift.
"We time out to the minute how long we want buses to run," Glass explained. "When you change something, it can have a cascading effect. It's one of those things that we'll have to look at."
Glass hopes the district can have a thoughtful discussion about the pros and cons of the issue.
The final decision would be made by the school board.
The research and changes that other districts have made also got Douglas County's Board of Education to look at making a change. Staff is currently re-examining research and surveying stakeholders.
Both the Douglas and Jeffco districts are not looking to make the possible change until the 2019-20 school year.
"We want to go slowly, learn from our other districts before we jump in," Ray said.

March 7, 2004
New York, NY - Three Yale fencers earned NCAA berths at the Northeast Regional Championships, held at Columbia's Dodge Fitness Center on Sunday. Cory Werk was Yale's top finsher at the regionals, placing second in men's foil competition. Werk won seven of nine bouts in the final round to finish just behind Nitai Kfir of St. John's. Erica Korb took fourth in women's epee to qualify in that weapon. Also qualifying was Alisa Mendelsohn, who finished fifth in women's foil. The three will take part in the NCAAs March 25-28 at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass.
The Bulldogs had three fencers in the top 16 in men's epee, including John Beski (14th), William Tauxe (15th) and James Rohrbach (16th). In men's sabre, Chris Peterson was 12th and Marcus Haymon was 28th.
In addition to Korb's strong performace in women's epee, the Bulldogs also had Zane Selkirk (26th) and Katie Burghardt (31st). In women's sabre, Carly Guss placed 12th and Justine Aw placed 14th.
The NCAA selections are based on performances in dual meets throughout the season, and competition in the Regionals. Although a fencer's place at the Regional forms a major part of the formula determining selection to the NCAA's, it is not the sole determinant.

|"The Beatles" aka "The White Album".
Ultimate Classic Rock picked up on this, and in their article they published the following quotes from the radio interview with Martin: "The White Album, which is the next release – that is where they started becoming indulgent. There are 70 takes of 'Sexy Sadie,' for instance. The efficiency went slightly out the window. There's a lot of stuff. So, it's getting the balance right."
Source: Ultimate Classic Rock
So, did he mean that the White album was the next release from The Beatles back in the day (it wasn't, the "All You Need Is Love" single, the "Hello Goodbye" single and the double EP "Magical Mystery Tour" was) - or that it will be the upcoming, next release from Apple/The Beatles?
And if the latter is what happens, whether or not we are going to be treated to another super deluxe multidisc extravaganza for the "White album" release remains to be seen. There are of course session outtakes from the recording of the album available, as well as a set of very interesting acoustic or semi-acoustic demos taped at George Harrison's house and elsewhere. Some of these have already been part of the nineties "Anthology" album series, but there's plenty more where they came from.
After publication of this post, Giles Martin tweeted this:
Just to confirm..I said the White Album is the next Beatles album. I promise that I'm not working on it. Enjoy Sgt Pepper first! X https://t.co/Eo3JIltqfl— Giles Martin (@mashupmartin) May 18, 2017

Shoppers and local dignitaries celebrated the opening of the expanded Flower Hill Promenade just outside of Del Mar on Wednesday, exploring new anchor tenant Whole Foods Market, visiting other retailers and getting a taste of what's to come at the upscale mall.
Ten years and $30 million in the making, the transformed center includes 70,000 square feet of additional space for restaurants and shops; a four-level parking structure; renovated common areas; new outdoor seating; and an expanded entrance, according to the promenade's website, www.flowerhill.com.
New shops and restaurants at the shopping center:
Between the Sheets
Burger Lounge
Chipotle Mexican Grill
CorePower Yoga
Cucina Enoteca restaurant (to open in May)
Melero Boutique
Modish Maternity Boutique
Opus Bank
Planet Beauty
Sharp Rees-Stealy medical offices (to open in the fall)
Sun Diego
Three Dog Bakery
Whole Foods Market
Jeffrey Essakow, the promenade's managing partner and co-owner, said the goal of the expansion was to give shoppers a place "to relax and rejuvenate." His desire to create a special experience for shoppers, he said, was inspired by the outdoor-living approach cherished by Southern Californians.
The center, formerly called the Flower Hill Mall, is located in San Diego just east of Interstate 5 on Via De La Valle. It's a tick outside Del Mar's city limits, in a spot busy with traffic even when it's not horse-racing season.
Gone is the Flower Hill Cinema; in its place is the 30,000-square-foot Whole Foods.
"I love it. I'm coming back every day," said Meg Jensen of Del Mar as she left the market clutching two grocery bags. "It's beautiful. The selections are great. … It's a party!"
The new Whole Foods is the fourth to open in San Diego County, with the others in Encinitas, Hillcrest and La Jolla. The chain, which promotes itself as a natural-foods market with a wide selection of seafood, meats and produce, will compete with grocery stores such as the Albertson's across the street and the Vons on Del Mar Heights Road.
The latest Whole Foods site employs more than 150 workers, all earning a minimum of $10 per hour, said Ashley Gibbons, an associate marketing coordinator for the company.
While the grocer has no vacancies left, jobs may be available at the promenade's future retail shops, such as surf and skateboarding outfitter Sun Diego.
"I surf and I need a job," said Nate Ledbetter, 18, of Carlsbad, explaining while he photographed contact information posted on the yet-to-be-opened shop's window.
Other stores and restaurants in operation or are scheduled to open soon include the Modish Maternity Boutique, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Burger Lounge, the Three Dog Bakery, Opus Bank and CorePower Yoga, according to the promenade's managers.
Whole Foods was by far the biggest draw on Wednesday. Inside, customers ogled the deli's stacks of turkey sausage lasagna, char-grilled salmon fillets and countless salad selections like chopped tangerine garbanzo.
With a package of red sea urchin placed in his shopping basket, Dieu Nguyen of Del Mar said he was eager to sample the fresh seafood.
"I'm lucky that (Whole Foods) opened in my area," Nguyen said.
Seated inside the grocery store's beer and wine tavern, an amenity unique to this Whole Foods location, Michael Farag of Los Angeles said he was excited to try the lunch menu.
"It's great. It turns shopping into an experience," Farag said.
San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, whose district includes the area, said at a ribbon-cutting event that the expanded mall "delivers great shops, fresh and healthy food and unbeatable ambiance."

You might as well give up...nobody is gonna pay for this...its too simple and easy to make....get over yourself.
Comment #15 Thursday, October 7, 2010 8:23 AM
This is one of very few dynamic dreams on Wincustomize. Unlike a video these do not loop and are not limited in resolution. I am all for other people making dynamic dreams (the SDK is on the website) so if you think it is too easy to make then feel free to create your own dynamic dreams.
As for sales numbers, well it covered the development time. I have to admit the mini screenshot doesn't show it as well as it could, but thats a problem with animated content, especially one with so many different options.
Comment #16 Sunday, May 29, 2011 2:51 PM
I've appreciated your work these many years, tried many other dreamscapes but always came back to your creation. I don't even use a background wallpaper anymore, It's unnecessary. The circus in this catagory has resulted in a dogs breakfast.
Comment #17 Tuesday, September 6, 2011 12:10 PM
I've bought this and I'm quite happy with it. Finnaly stars!
Looks like I'm flying into the Hubble Ultra Deep Field wich I used as background.
Would be cool though if you had made the colors of the stars selectable.
Because there are no green stars in the universe. Also I had liked to see orange and red ones too and stars of different sizes on one screen instead of only one size at a time.
Also I think you'd be selling more of this if you somehow could manage to create a short video showing what it does. I was buying this blind because of 2-3 comments and did not know if it was what I was searching for (it was!).
Still very nice, thanks. ;>
Comment #18 Tuesday, June 26, 2012 12:32 PM
I'll pay for this providing you use the money to buy a rope to hang yourself. Anyone able to nickle and dime people for a desktop wallpaper is someone this world can do without. Even if your rich and can afford to throw money away on this sort of this, I encourage you not to, don't encourage the people shallow enough to put a pricetag on this sort of thing. Although not the same scale as the crooks on Wallstreet that bilked millions out of millions, its the same mindset of greed and profiteering thats so wrong with the world today.

Nice but each monitor shows its own stars. It would be better if it could be streatched for multiple monitors.

Novato Real Estate
As the northernmost city in Marin County, Novato maintains a rural atmosphere largely because of its low population density and the high amount of open space and parks in and near the city. Novato is home to seven open space preserves and a network of 27 oak-studded parks, making it a haven for hiking and mountain biking. Historical buildings dot downtown and recently restored Grant Avenue has made the area a welcoming place for visitors and residents to shop and dine. Numerous high-tech companies call Novato home, including the non-profit Buck Institute for Aging, a prominent complex on Mt. Burdell designed by famed architect I. M. Pei. As the fastest growing real estate market in the county, many new homes have sprung up throughout the city, while the town's older, established neighborhoods offer mid-century ranch-style homes and larger properties. Between its charming atmosphere and thriving downtown, Novato is quite a city.

Blood clots don't tend to grab headlines. Most, after all, are caused by trauma or recent surgery, says Dr. James Kohn, a vascular surgeon on the medical staff at Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake.
So if you've had neither surgery nor trauma, you might assume you're safe. Blood clots, which made news recently when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized, also occur in otherwise healthy people who have none of the traditional risks. When they do, they can be life-threatening.
Doctors say that problems for Clinton, 65, were related to dehydration and a fall, but not all cases are so understandable.
"Some form, and we never have a reason," says Dr. Robin Novakovic, assistant professor in radiology, neurology and neurotherapeutics at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Such was true for Dallas-area residents Mary Campise and Mike Mignardi. Both are runners; both take phenomenal care of themselves. Both had potentially fatal blood clots — technically known as deep vein thrombosis, or DVT — within the last two years.
Although the two are now running again, their experiences have made Campise and Mignardi especially aware of what can go wrong and turned them into crusaders to keep others from experiencing what they did.
"I've become one of those people who, whenever I have a chance, warn others about the dangers," says Campise, who lives in Dallas and is assistant dean of students at Ursuline Academy.
Last year, a few weeks shy of her 48th birthday, she was healthy, "running, biking, doing everything," she says. She had never smoked, never used oral contraceptives — two common risk factors for blood clots. She began having trouble keeping pace with her husband and other people she runs with. They all joked about it, but when she began struggling for breath walking up stairs, she went to her doctor.
He said she might have allergies or exercise-induced asthma. Two weeks later, she woke up, and her left leg was twice the size of her right. Her husband drove her straight to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, where doctors diagnosed a blood clot.
"You think of a clot being the size of a pea," Campise says. "It turned out once they did the sonogram, mine ran from my belly button to my ankle. It was completely occluded. No blood was coming up or going down."
'Dreaded complication'
The danger of a blood clot is what can — and in her case did — happen next.
"Pulmonary embolism is the dreaded complication," Novakovic says. "That's when the clot breaks off and travels back to the heart and lodges in the lung," she says. "If it's not treated or it's big enough, it can lead to heart failure, compromise in heart function, and it can lead to death."
When doctors told Campise she had a PE, or pulmonary embolism, "I asked, 'Isn't that what can kill you?'" she says. "He said the good news is that I had survived the hard part, which is the clot going from the heart to the lungs."
Still, she needed surgery.
"Do I have to?" she asked.
"If not," he told her, "you'll never be able to use that leg again. It will be damaged forever."
Surgery lasted five hours and was followed by bed rest and blood thinners. Doctors told her there was a "95 percent chance" her blood clot was caused by May-Thurner syndrome, in which a vein on the left side is compressed by an artery on the right. So last April, she underwent a procedure to insert a stent into that vein.
"I started walking, then walking farther, then biking," she says. But, she adds, "I was terrified to try. You always worry. I would feel what anybody probably feels when they're running and think, 'Is it a tight muscle or a blood clot?'"
Living with fear
About 18 months after having a blood clot, Mignardi still stands in front of the mirror sometimes, looking at his legs.
"You definitely become a hypochondriac," he says, although he's finished a marathon and runs 20 miles on weekends. "I think, 'Is my left calf larger than my right?'"
It was much larger during late summer of 2011, when Mignardi, an engineering manager who lives in Richardson, was training for the White Rock Marathon. His leg got to the point where he couldn't run a quarter-mile without feeling like it "would explode," he says. Even walking hurt.
One weekend, he skipped his training runs. Two days later, though, his leg was still swollen. So he drove himself to the emergency room, where doctors found that his entire leg, from the top of his thigh down, was clotted. He didn't have surgery; instead, he was put on blood thinners and confined to bed for a week.
"They knew how to treat it, but they didn't know what caused it," says Mignardi, 53. "I'm all about the root cause. I wanted to know why it occurred to prevent it from happening again."
He did extensive research and learned that clotting occurs when blood is more stagnant and when you're dehydrated. Mignardi travels overseas regularly, thus being immobile for long periods of time. He had never thought much about drinking water, and his pulse rate is low because of all his exercise. Mignardi began to see how he might be a candidate for a blood clot.
During a long flight, Novakovic explains, "we're immobile. The type of circulation in our venous system needs muscle contraction to help the blood move."
Mignardi recently traveled to the Netherlands on business and says he's now "especially cautious" when he flies. "I wear compression socks and drink lots of fluid. I spend more time in the restroom than I used to do. I do little exercises on the plane, things to keep me from being stagnant."
Such incidents even have a name — "economy-class syndrome."
He's written two papers on what he learned, which he's shared with co-workers and friends. Many now wear compression socks when they travel, he says.
Six weeks after he left the hospital, he was running again, but four months passed before his left leg looked like the right again. Neither he nor Campise take blood thinners anymore, and their lives are pretty much back to normal.
Still, says Campise, "needless to say, it was shocking to run one week and almost lose my life the next."
What causes them?
Dr. Robin Novakovic of UT Southwestern says that in general, blood clots are caused by three factors:
Poor blood flow. "If blood is stagnant, it wants to form a clot," she says. "It's not flowing like it should."
Hypercoagulativity. "You have a predisposition to form a clot more than normal,"
she says. "Your blood is stickier and wants to form clots."
There can be underlying disorders like autoimmune diseases, she says. Some cancers and medications can cause it, too.
Injury to a blood vessel. "Some people have ulcerations or little ruptures of the plaque that can predispose them" to blood clots, Novakovic says.
The biggest risk factors are recent trauma or recent surgery, says Dr. James Kohn of Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake.
"Sometimes runners get them because of an injury," he says. "Suppose you twist your leg and tear a muscle and get a big bleed in your calf. It compromises the venous flow, but doesn't always lead to a blood clot."
But, he says, "if you're at all symptomatic" — if you have swelling and pain, especially in one leg — "absolutely go to the ER."
Travelers beware
Travelers, especially those on flights or car rides that last eight to 10 hours or more, need to be especially cautious. The website hematology.org offers these suggestions on avoiding "economy-class syndrome." Despite its name, passengers in any section of the aircraft can get blood clots.
Hydrate. Water's your best bet; avoid alcoholic beverages the day before and during your flight.
Make leg room. Store your carry-on luggage above your seat so your legs have space to stretch.
Avoid crossing your legs.
Wear compression socks.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Dutch football fans hurled a barrage of racist abuse at AZ Alkmaar and United States striker Jozy Altidore on Tuesday during a Dutch cup quarterfinal against second-tier FC Den Bosch.
Altidore, who is black, said he had never faced such serious abuse from the stands, but shrugged it off after the match, which his team won 5-0.
"There's nothing I can do about it," he told Dutch television's Eredivisie Live. "All I can do is pray for them and hope they can become better people."
The racism was all the more shocking as it came just weeks after Dutch football authorities pleaded for more respect at all levels of the game following the death of a linesman after he was attacked by players after a match between two youth teams near Amsterdam in December.
"It's a bit disappointing that these things still happen in this time that we're in," Altidore said. "But what you going to do? You just hope these people can find a way to improve themselves. You can only pray for them."
The 23-year-old striker, one of the Dutch league's top marksmen this season, focused on the need for education.
"At the end of the day it's still alive, racism. All we can do now is try to educate ourselves, the young kids coming up, to be better than that," he said.
Den Bosch repeatedly urged its fans to halt the monkey chants, to no avail.
The club's director, Peter Bijvelds, blamed "malicious supporters making a scandalous mess" of the evening. He said Den Bosch, AZ and the referee considered abandoning the match, but decided against it.
"We can't deny that, certainly when we play top matches … we have a structural problem with a group of people who ruin things," Bijvelds told Dutch radio. "We have to crack down on it."
According to AZ's official twitter feed, referee Reinold Wiedemeijer wanted to stop the match in the first half "because of jungle sounds chanted at Altidore" but AZ players, including Altidore, persuaded him not to.
Wiedemeijer halted play briefly in the second half because of fans throwing balls of ice at his linesmen, according to the Dutch Eredivisie official Twitter feed and Dutch news website Nu.nl.
Altidore scored one goal as AZ overpowered Den Bosch, which finished with nine men after having two players sent off.
"It is terribly sad that this can happen for those involved and for lovers of football in the Netherlands," AZ's director of football, Earnie Stewart, a former U.S. midfielder, told Eredivisie Live at halftime.
"You hear that and wonder what on earth is going on," he said

Owners of currently registered aircraft will receive a renewal billing in late December, which allows those owners who wish to pay before the end of the calendar year to do so. It is important to notify the Motor Vehicle Division Aircraft Registration Unit of address changes in writing so that your renewal registration certificate will be correctly addressed.
Payment by check or money order of the tax and registration fee must be received or postmarked by the last day of February. On or after March 1, a $25 penalty fee will be added with an additional $5 penalty for each subsequent month of delinquency.
It is the responsibility of the owner to notify the Motor Vehicle Division Aircraft Registration Unit in writing

Paragon Disk Wiper is a useful tool that will securely delete everything on a hard drive, partition, or your drive's free space, ensuring that it cannot be recovered later. And this could come in very handy when you're selling a PC or hard drive.
The drive will almost certainly contain a great deal of information that you don't want others to see: user names, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, maybe credit card details and more. You can delete individual documents, the partition, even format the drive, but this will only remove the files from your drive's index. With the right software, the next owner of the drive could easily recover some, perhaps all of your personal data.
Paragon Disk Wiper 10 Personal can change all this, though, by overwriting every sector on your hard drive or specified partition, multiple times. Your files will be completely destroyed, gone forever - there's no chance of anyone recovering them.
The program can also be used on a day-to-day basis to securely wipe your hard drive's free space. This will eliminate any remnants of confidential documents that you might have just deleted, without affecting Windows, your applications or other data.
You have to be careful with Disk Wiper - make a mistake and you could trash your entire PC - but its helpful wizards do a good job of keeping you safe. And as a bonus, you also get some useful hard drive tools, including the ability to create, format and delete partitions, set up and change drive letters, and update the drive's Master Boot Record with standard code.
Please note, this trial version of the program will let you see how it works, and the functions on offer, but these work in virtual mode only. You can't use the trial to actually wipe any files on your drive.
A simple, but thorough and effective security tool

This guy looks great. His expression is a perfect, and completes the whole "I know I look great" ensemble.
the guy in the white shirt in the background looks pretty scrumptious too.
Very, very nice indeed. I love this look! Wonderful photo, Sart. I love this young gentleman's pinstriped suit, the black turtleneck, glasses, cigarette, stubble. I bet he gets lots of chicks. I hope I look this cool at his age.
If you look closely, you can see the outline of his coller beneath the turtleneck.
The collar seems to be very close to his chest, almost flat against it, underneath his neck. That is possibly how he does it.
He manages well in hiding his neck.What I don´t like is the striped jacket and the white sleeve of his undershirt popping out. A jacket of some other color and material would be, in my opinion, better.
i see arvin sloane from the show alias?! hehehe…
i like his style..the way he's holding that cig..so obtuse..
Wow! I would never think to put a turtleneck over a button-down, but he looks very elegant. Also, the suit is amazingly well-cut.
Mayn't that be white cuffs attached to the black turtleneck? An entire shirt strikes me as being something that would create too much bulk, especially at the collar.
Sharp look, though. :)
I love his whole attitude, the way he holds humself, the expression on his face etc… Aahh Italy…!
a proposito: giacca a 2 bottoni, giacca a 3 bottoni o secondo il proprio stile?
Ah…the art of layering!
Imagine if they were – slip on dickey cuffs?
Hmmm…maybe I'm on to something!
Seriously, he looks fabulous.
I think he didn`t execute it so well… one can see the shirt through his turtleneck… very not good looking to my opinion… his turtleneck is too thin or his shirt too thick. Wearing a shirt with no collar is also a better alternative.
uch care to represent themselves, well this would, at least, be a more stylish place to live.
I f american men took this much care to, at least it would be nicer looking here!
I don't like this look, because its obvious that the shirt collar is straining under the fabric of the high neck sweater. Not so nice in my opinion. But excellent suit and pocket square folding.
He's sexy, he's sixty (ish). I like it. It's the cuffs, the cuffs get me every time. Points off for the fast and loose pocket square presentation but otherwise: bravo!
The eye has grown used to shorter jackets, but even so, the jacket here is too long.
I also find the turtleneck-suit combo a nonstarter. As for the cuffs, well, that's just bizarre.
What a wonderful look! I like the slim cut of his suit! Very elegant!!
The look is highly polished and he is a very well dressed man in my opinion. The cut of the suit is well tailored. On the other hand, I believe he might be wearing a sleeve-less turtleneck–which in by itself is a hard find. The "dickie cuff" is prevalent in women's design, but not so much or non existent in men's fashion. I think the execution of the collar underneath the turtleneck deserves fashion points, though he should've attempted a much taller collar and popped it up to perfect the look he was trying to achieve. Perhaps a dress shirt from Dolce & Gabbana?
Nice suit jacket! Perfect fit. I'm over the thom brown thing… you need some length in my opinion. not everyone can pull TB off.
He is indeed an impressive and detailed gentleman. I'll wager he made a deal with the "powers that be" to have those dimples strategically placed!
He looks exactly like Leonard Nemoy — the face, the turtle neck, the smirk.
Good eye on noticing the white sleeves under the jacket.
I hope for him this photo was taken when the weather was cold.
The pocket square is amazing.
He looks sharp. Well done sir!
Hmm, wearing a white shirt w/ collar under a turtleneck just so you can show a bit of white cuff? It's 'gimmick dressing' to me…
Cool suit tho'.
He totally gets points for trying something new don't you think? The suit is super, especially the shoulders with that slight roping effect.
I wish we could solve that cuff question, he can't really be wearing a collared shirt under a turtleneck….unless his mama was afraid he was catching a cold!
I love this man's expression, he looks perfect and he knows it. He reminds me of Ian McKellan in X-Men. "We are the future, Charles, not them!"
I definitely have a major weakness when it comes to men in turtlenecks. I have no idea why. He looks marvelous here. Great shot.
The guy behind caught my eye.
Love the patent leather- blue jeans combo. Very crips and clean.
i think we could all learn from this guy that the only way to wear a turtleneck in over a shirt!
Otherwhise, if for any reason you get hot, either you sweat or stai in a t-shirt wich for sure is inelegant and uncool, or, at least, un-sartorialist!!
Take care and , as i always say, learn from italians and their flair!!!!
i'm sorry not to agree with a couple of friends here,but the guy on the back of this image looks just like an un-elegant guy following the Dolce&Gabbana wanna be trend(that in italy is just worn by insicure) , that every italian know it's taky and uncool, especially if the jeans are not slimmer or if you where leaving around 1955-60 in the usa.
Back then,when television was beginning and poople had less chanche to confront themselves with others, could have been cool.
Now please you have no excuses
Why is no one touching on the fact that regardless of how he does or doesnt pull this look off, it must be hot as the dickens inside that outfit. Sweaty and uncomfortable = not attractive no matter "how you pull it off" its just not worth it to yourself…
Out of curiosity, what is your opinion of a turtleneck with a suit or jacket? I think it's a very stylish look, but People seem to feel strongly both for and against. (I'll keep wearing that combo regardless, but I'm interested to know what such a sartorially in-tune crowd thinks.)
I have done this for years but with a "thicker" turtleneck, with the collar "in the neck", so the collar of the shirt is visible, just as the cuffs.
Where I live it is too warm to ever allow someone to dress like that, but it is nonetheless a very well put to together outfit.
don't really like this look. the suit is nice, well tailored, but when combined with the turtleneck i am reminded of chess king or a 90′s mock turtle ensemble. i suspect the outfit looks better in person. also, the layering seems a but impractical/contrived.
You have to be thin to wear all those layers… is it a possibility that the shirt sleeves are not attached to a full shirt?
Are you kidding me? I'd rather go naked than spend a day wearing a white dress shirt underneath a fitted turtleneck.
Besides, if you see the dress shirt underneath the turtleneck, you not only look bad, you've lost the lines of the sweater.
Who cares about the dude in the foreground, the bald man in the back has it goin' on. And those shiny black shoes and perfect folded-up jeans!
I want to be this guy when I grow up.
ha una camicia sotto il dolcevita, si intravede il colletto.
