Do you love your family pet?
Of course you do. So, what would you do if your beloved pet faced the grim diagnosis of cancer?
East Texas native Renae Toburen received the news recently that her dog, Cowan, had the disease.
"We'd had a large tumor removed on him approximately three weeks prior and had it sent off to a lab for testing to see if it was benign or cancerous," Toburen said. "I'm glad I made the investment to have it tested because no matter how much you want to believe 'it couldn't happen to my dog' – it most certainly can."
Toburen said when she received the news Cowan had cancer, she was in shock.
"I had gone to the vet that day with nothing but a positive attitude and walked out with my world turned upside down. Cowan was diagnosed with a stage 3 mast cell tumor,"
she said.
Toburen wasn't sure what to do for her beloved pet. Having a limited income caused veterinarian bills to soon become
So, she got online to search for help. That is when she discovered the Magic Bullet Fund, a group who helps when a dog would not be able to receive treatment without financial
MBF was founded by medical animal writer Laurie Kaplan, in honor of her own cancer survivor, Bullet. She authored the book, "Help Your Dog Fight Cancer." Concurrent with the publication of the book, Kaplan founded the Magic Bullet Fund to help people who have a dog with cancer but cannot afford treatment. To date, MBF has seen more than 170 dogs through
"They are really organized, and they have a great support system," Toburen said. "They call and check on your dog and interact with you throughout the entire process. They send you a book about helping your dog fight cancer and they are all in all a blessing."
Toburen immediately applied for assistance. Once approved, Cowan began his fundraising campaign for his cancer treatments.
"A diagnosis of canine cancer is not necessarily a death sentence. Veterinary oncology has made tremendous advances in the past decade and there are treatment options available to those who want to fight their pet's cancer," Kaplan said in a press release.
The assistance from the MBF works like a fundraiser, applicants have to help earn the money by asking for donations, Toburen said.
Cowan, who is a 7-year-old hound, is still in guarded condition, Toburen said. However, he reached his $200 goal Tuesday morning, Dec. 10, through the MBF.
"I don't know what I would have done without their help," said Toburen, who is a former Cherokee County resident.

CLINTON — There was no easing into the cross country season.
Last week's hot weather forced Clinton to cancel a scheduled quadrangular meet for area teams at Emma Young Park. That made Tuesday's Schoolhouse Open the debut, bringing more than 300 runners to the course at the Ericksen Center.
For at least four local runners, though, it was quite a satisfying beginning.
Northeast's Eli Kaczinski and Clinton's Noah Buikema earned runner-up finishes in the two boys divisions, while Clinton's Kim Kaster took seventh and Prince of Peace's Jackie Kokjohn placed 11th in the varsity girls field headed by a talented squad from Davenport Assumption that claimed the top five spots.
"I was hoping for a little faster, around 16:30," said Kaczinski, who ran the 5,000-meter course in 16 minutes, 50.55 seconds, "but I've been fighting a cold, so I'm happy with the results.
"It's good for this time of year. It's about 15 seconds faster than last year at this time, but this is not the time for PRs."
Hunter Bielenberg (19th in 19:05.90) also finished in the top 20 for the Rebels, while Jacob Jankowski of Prince of Peace (27th, 19:46.70) and Logan Peterson of Camanche (30th, 19:48.81) were in the top 30.
Hunter Genco paced Clinton with a 34th-place finish, but the headlines for the River Kings came in the boys freshman-sophomore race.
Buikema took second in that 4,000-meter event, and teammates Michael Peters (third, 14:44.72), Jace Houzenga (fifth, 15:22.84) and Jonathan Facio (sixth, 15:32.50) weren't far behind. No team scores were kept.
"That makes you feel great," Buikema said of the team finish. "I feel excited. You never know what can happen in the future. It shocked us all, I think."
Buikema surprised himself with his finish.
"I did better than I thought I would," he admitted. "I wanted to run 15:00, 6, 6 and 3 even splits."

It's always a terrifying site.
The wrecked remains of a school bus after a collision that took place with students on board.
But what makes this Milwaukee bus crash so unbelievable, is that police say the driver, didn't have a drivers' license.
"I would think that it would be difficult not to know that they don't have a license," said Mick Howen, Badger Bus Lines.
Howen says he can't believe a school bus driver would be allowed to transport kids without even having a basic drivers' license.
Howen is an operations manager at Badger Bus lines in Madison, and says a basic drivers' license is only step one in a multi-level hiring process that ensures they're getting qualified drivers with clean records.
"We're checking their license, we're checking with the department of motor vehicles," said Howen, "we're making sure that they stay on top of their renewals."
Badger runs charter service, but they also have contracts with the Madison and Monona-Grove school districts.
With kids from Kindergartners to high school seniors on their routes, Howen says safety isn't just part of their plan, it's the cornerstone of their business.
"It certainly is, you can't take any shortcuts, you just can't," said Howen. "That would be, probably, the worst thing you can do operationally."

From the very start, the idea behind Mary Norton's 1952 children's novel "The Borrowers" has captivated audiences young and old. The idea of a family of mini-people carrying on their lives beneath the floorboards of our houses holds a kind of irresistible universal appeal, and as fodder for a story it provides plenty of potential conflict and drama. That is no doubt why Norton's tiny characters have had such long lives both in literature and on the screen.
Last year's "The Secret World of Arrietty," an adaptation of the story by a Japanese movie studio, proved popular. And the Borrowers have also appeared in a 1997 film and several television movies and series. And now, Theatre of Youth is bringing Norton's story to life with an adaptation of the book by Charles Way opening tonight.
The show, directed by TOY Artistic Director Meg Quinn, stars Arin Lee Dandes as the young protagonist Arrietty Clock, whose desire to connect with humans is always getting her into trouble. She's joined on the Allendale Theatre stage by Marc-Jon Filippone, Lee Becker, Loraine O'Donnell, Annette Daniels Taylor, Jacob Kahn and Adam Rath. In association with the production, Talking Leaves Books (3158 Main St.) will host a book club event, complete with games and activities, at 10:30 a.m. March 23.
— Colin Dabkowski
"The Borrowers" – When: 7 p.m. tonight through March 24. Where: Allendale Theatre, 203 Allen St. Tickets: $24 to $26. Info: 884-4400, theatreofyouth.org

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A Ceredo, W.Va., man is accused of stealing more than $1,900 worth of textbooks from the Drinko Library at Marshall University and transferring them to a bookstore for cash payment, according to a criminal complaint from Cabell County Magistrate Court.

Chevy Volt
Nearly two years after the introduction of the path-breaking plug-in hybrid, GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds, according to estimates provided to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts.
Cheap Volt lease offers meant to drive more customers to Chevy showrooms this summer may have pushed that loss even higher. There are some Americans paying just $5,050 to drive around for two years in a vehicle that cost as much as $89,000 to produce.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/10/us-generalmotors-autos-volt-idUSBRE889- 04J20120910
If you live where it rarely gets hot or real cold you should be fine with your EV. The Leaf is showing premature loss of battery capacity in hot places like AZ and CA. Without solar panels here in CA our electricity is too expensive. How many miles are you getting on a full charge?
Not being a "party pooper" but you do point out why they make more than one flavor of Ice Cream. :-)
The Mits is a great little car, but every car is really just a "tool" (think of them as a hammer my kids hate that). What type of construction work you are doing determines which hammer you buy.
Although he was only driving to work for the last 5 weeks... does not mean that he might not need to drive his car to another state this week. The first two months my Volt was only used for local commuting where a pure EV would have worked fine... but then came the trip from Utah to Vegas, down to SoCal and then back to Utah. Now you could do that trip in an EV... but it would have taken a really long time waiting for all the re-charging...
Now that is a "silly" example, but just meant to illustrate a point. We all have slightly different needs so which tool is the "best," must be determined not by the choice someone else made, but rather by each individual. Personally I had planned on buying the Prius PHEV when it came out as I have owned 3 Prius vehicles and like each one. However, when I learned it only had 13 miles of EV range... I said "Ehh... what is that supposed to do." Did not make any sense for me... but it does qualify for the HOV lanes in California and elsewhere which probably makes it a great car for those folks. Then I moved on and was going to buy the Honda Fit EV. However, my disabled daughter who does not drive as much anymore needed a vehicle and I thought the Volt would be perfect for her. So I jumped the gun and ordered one (as it was going to take some time to get one from my local dealer). Then my daughter determined that she preferred the Malibu so Voila... I have a Volt :-)
My routine is to drive to and from work each day. I make side trips occasionally but nothing grand. My roundtrip commute is 36 miles. Each night when I come home I've used about half of the battery. I plug it into my standard 120V outlet and in the morning I'm ready to go. A full charge each morning leaves me with between 68 and 73 miles depending on how I drove it the day before.
I've noticed, maybe, a 10% impact when I turn on the heat or the AC. I'm in New England. Winter is coming so I'll keep reporting back how the car is responding. Mitsubishi has been selling this car for years in Norway so I'm not expecting any show stoppers.

Welcome back after 5 years. What year Volt are you looking at. There are still a lot of 2011 & 2012s left for sale. If you are in CA there is a cutoff date for getting certain incentives. Chevy made some changes in the 2013 model to get CA to accept the Volt for HOV lane access. A loaded one with the features you show has a TMV of $37,248. That includes the current $5000 cash off that started August 1st. Looks like you should be able to get them down another $2700. Before the $7500 tax credit if you can use that this year.
Looks like GM is slashing another $5000 off the MSRP of the Volt. Wait a while they may be in boxes of Cracker Jacks.
2013 Chevrolet Volt (GM)
General Motors Co. is slashing the price of its plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt by $5,000, making it the latest automaker to lower prices of electric vehicles in the face of lagging consumer demand.
The Detroit-based automaker said it will cut the base price 12.5 percent, from $39,995 to $34,995. The price cut comes just weeks after the automaker announced a $5,000 give-back on the 2012 Volt and $4,000 on the 2013 model.
Thank you for that information and link......
The question it brings up in my mind is... does this replace the "give-back" price-cuts or is it in addition to?
In other words if the base car MSRP is now $34,995 is there another $4k give back that brings the price for a 2013 model down to $30,995 before the $7,500 government rebate?
Or did they just replace the $4k give back with the across the board $5k drop in MSRP?
Thanks for your time and info,
Well Chevy is really confusing me now... at a time when there are apparently still Brand New 2012 Volts available (unsure how many but there are a bunch of 2013's still on the lots) they have dropped the MSRP on 2014 Volts by $5k and are also offering a $5k discount on 2013 models.
Now as the new 2014 Volt's are supposedly hitting the dealers lots starting this week... that means the price of either a 2013 Volt or 2014 Volt is the same (except for any year to year price changes).
Which begs the question WHY would GM do that. If you are presented with a 2013 and 2014 model for essentially the same price... who would buy the 2013?
Unless they have all gone off their collective "rockers" I cannot understand why there is not an additional incentive to move the 2013 models?
If you are serious about the Volt and plan on keeping it a while, I would get the newest one you can. Those batteries are not holding full charge as long as they had hoped for. Better yet just lease for 3 years and give it back or trade for a new one. I have no clue why they are not heavily discounting the 12s and 13s. Maybe they think people are just stupid.

It only took two games for Lee's Summit to finish off Raymore-Peculiar in the Suburban Big Six volleyball match Sept. 21.
The Tigers won 25-15 and 27-25.
The Lee's Summit duo of Hailey Criswell and Emma Lock again and again blocked would-be opposition points at the net. It was all Tiger in the first game, with Lee's Summit winning with a comfortable 10-point lead.
"I was proud of my kids," Lee's Summit head coach Roy Martin said. "I was proud of how they stayed calm especially in game two as the score got tight. Our passers did a great job of staying calm and making sure we took care of the first ball and our hitters stayed aggressive. I was pretty proud of them."
Raymore-Peculiar showed a glimmer of hope in game two staying within one point of the Tigers, with the score knotted at 25-25. But Lee's Summit fought to win the game 27-25.
"We've been driving on the struggle bus for a while so hopefully we can overcome it," Raymore-Peculiar head coach Katie Dowden said. "We almost found some momentum to shift things at the end. Unfortunately; it just couldn't carry us through."
Raymore-Peculiar now stands at 11-17 overall and Lee's Summit is 5-23-4 overall.

CHAMPLAIN — A Malone man was arrested Tuesday near the Champlain Border Patrol Station for felony possession of marijuana.
Jacob M. Hugeboon, 17, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
More than eight ounces of marijuana were found in Hugeboon's car Tuesday afternoon, according to a news release from the Clinton County Sheriff's Department.
The drugs were seized by Sheriff's Deputies who were assisting Border Patrol agents at an immigration checkpoint on Route 374 in the Town of Dannemora, the release said.
Hugeboon was arraigned in Plattsburgh Town Court and released on his own recognizance pending further court action.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro (L) and China's President Xi Jinping (R), stand in front of a bust depicting Venezuelan late President Hugo Chavez in Caracas on July 21, 2014. Xi hopes to deepen ties with Venezuela just as its ties with the United States -- the region's traditional political and economic powerhouse -- are at a low point. Later Monday Xi heads to Cuba --the last stop of his tour-- where he is to announce plans to build a factory producing "biosensors" for monitoring the blood of diabetics and other patients suffering from chronic illness, Cuban media reported.

GASTON, Ore. -- Eight children were sent to the hospital after they nearly drowned while on a family outing. The children were rescued from Hagg Lake in Gaston just before 5 p.m. Saturday.
The kids, ages 6 to 13 years old, were all taken to several local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses told firefighters they saw one child get into trouble in the deep water so other siblings rushed to save her. But the kids rushing to the rescue didn't know there was a sudden drop off. They also quickly found themselves struggling in the water.
The kids' family started yelling and screaming for help. Another family having a reunion nearby ran into the water and quickly pulled some of the kids out by passing them hand to hand to the shore.
The rescuers said two of the children were not breathing when pulled to shore but started breathing again before crews arrived.
"But in the process of saving the other ones, one of the rescuers stepped on the hand or the leg of one the other children who was at the bottom that they had not seen. When she felt the child, they're able to pull that child out as well," said Ken Bilderback spokesperson for the Gaston Fire Department.
The children were breathing on their own before four ambulances, Washington County sheriff's deputies and Gaston firefighters showed up.
Bilderback said there were free life jackets available but none of the kids were wearing them.
officials can't stress how important it is for children to wear life jackets.
Bilderback said the family who saved these eight kids are heroes. The Gaston Fire Department plans on honoring them with a special event soon.

As the semester rolls on and tests pile up, many students change their daily routine to one that is more study-friendly and, unfortunately, more desk-bound. What most students do not realize is that while their dog lies next to them on the couch day after day, it is being robbed of physical activity that is vital to its health.
Multiple studies show improved bone health, organ function and lung function in dogs that exercise. Dogs look and feel better with exercise, and they are less nervous when left alone.
"Exercise is good for maintaining general health, and it helps keep your heart, muscles and joints strong. It also helps with maintaining weight and coordination," said Dr. Jacqueline Davidson, clinical-track professor at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Studies also show dogs that lack exercise usually have poor muscle tone and are more prone to injury, brain ailments and bone disorders. They are more susceptible to developing emotional problems and behavioral quirks, as well.
"Dogs that don't exercise are usually overweight and have less dexterity. And their heart and joints aren't as vigorous," said Davidson.
"A lack of exercise can affect you and your pet in similar ways, like becoming chubby," she said. "Obesity is a big concern for most animals."
Getting you and your dog off the couch does not mean tedious and dreary daily exercise. There are many fun ways to stay active with your pet.
"For dogs, the choices are easy," said Davidson. "They enjoy almost anything you enjoy doing."
Options include walking, running, playing with a ball or a Frisbee, agility training, or even sports such as cani-cross and bikejoring, i.e. running or biking with your dog attached by an elastic line. (Davidson warns: "If you're doing anything like attaching yourself to your dog, make sure the dog has decent obedience training and responds well to voice commands.")

There's been a huge increase in demand for mental health services at the Veterans Administration, as veterans return from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The VA healthcare system, and non-profit organizations that are intended to serve as safety nets, are struggling to meet that demand.
"Their caseload is incredibly high," said Kris, a veteran who sought mental health treatment at the VA medical center in West Los Angeles. Kris, who asked that his last name be withheld, served on the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, and was part of the invasion force in Iraq.

"This recipe isn't too difficult, but it looks like an expensive restaurant meal! It is the perfect way to fix up that pheasant, duck or even just a Cornish game hen from your local grocery store. This recipe is made with a Cornish game hen in mind, so if you are using a larger bird, you may want to adjust the amount of the ingredients."

- Bring the rice, a pinch of salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan with a lid. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer the wild rice until the kernels burst open, 45 to 50 minutes. Replenish the water if necessary. Fluff the rice with a fork, and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb water.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the game hen.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, and cook and stir the mushrooms over medium heat until they are partially cooked and starting to give their juice, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and butter into the cooked rice.
- Sprinkle the game hen, inside and out, with poultry seasoning, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Lightly stuff the Cornish hen with the wild rice mixture, and tie the legs together with cooking twine to hold in the stuffing. Slice 2 tablespoons of butter into small pats, and dot them around the bird.
- Bake the bird in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the game hen from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

I increased the servings to 8 first. I simmered the rice in chicken stock instead of water. I sauted 2.5 oz of slivered almonds in the butter until golden. I added one pkg of chopped white mushrooms and a cup of chopped onion to the almonds. I added that to the cooked rice. Those additions made what was probably a great rice recipe into one of the best wild rice recipes I have ever tasted!
I made this for Christmas for my extended family... first Christmas in charge of the bird/ first Christmas married! Everyone was raving about this recipe! The bird looks so good, and it tastes wonderful. A couple of adjustments I made: I added 1 can of cream of mushroom because other reviewers said the recipe was sometimes dry. Also, I added in the rest of my stuffing from stuffed mushrooms I had made the night before. Combined with a oil, vinegar, and rosemary marinade = perfection!
Scatcat ~ Rachel
This is a great simple recipe. The wild rice has a unique flavor and when paired with the hen it's wonderful. When you are in the mood for something different this is a great recipe to turn to. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful this dish was. It certainly was not dry as the other reviewer suggested. If you think that's going to be an issue roast it breast side down. Thanks for a great recipe!

Bought top and bottom and really like everything about it and also the service I received at my local Sears store where I bought it.
Springdale, AR
Obtained this chest on clearance at my local Sears for a great price. It has reasonable storage capacity, adequate drawer depth, and moderate overall size to fit the limited space requirements that I had. The clearance price made it a great value compared to other tool chests selling for the same price point. After purchasing the chest, I was disappointed to learn that Craftsman Premium Heavy Duty Tool Storage Limited Lifetime Warranty is actually limited to only five years from the date of purchase.

This is a pretty fun take on tacos. The next time you have taco night with your family, try making a taco pie instead. You take a can of crescent rolls and press them into a pie pan and then layer on the beef, cheese and tortilla chips. I used the garlic butter crescent rolls instead of just the plain crescent rolls and I think the garlic flavor helped make this pie even better. Once the pie comes out you can top it with your favorite Taco toppings. I recommend taco sauce. We didn't have any in our house, and now I wish we did. It would have made this taco pie really good. I'd make this again. Maybe with some beans and corn inside the meat sauce next time.
Taco pie recipe adapted from Taste and Tell
Taco Pie
- 1 can crescrent rolls (8oz)
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 3/4 cups crushed tortilla chips
- 1 cup sour cream
- your favorite taco toppings
|Step 1
|Preheat the oven to 375F.
|Step 2
|In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Add in the taco seasoning and the salsa and cook until warmed through.
|Step 3
|Unroll the crescent rolls. Separate the dough into 8 triangles. Line the pie dish with the triangles, with the small point at the bottom middle of the dish and the wide end at the top. Press the edges together.
|Step 4
|Pour the cooked beef mixture onto the crust. Sprinkle the crushed chips over the top of the beef. Drop the sour cream in dollops over the chips and gently spread. Top with the cheddar cheese.
|Step 5
|Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve topped with lettuce, tomatoes and avocados.

|After awaking and finding Anthony gone and a note on his pillow, "Sorry to leave you but urgent business to take care of and hope to see you later, my dear" Adriana strode into the bathroom and turned on the shower, stepping in and enjoying the tingle of the hot water hitting her skin. Reaching for the shampoo and cleaning her hair for about four minutes then rinsing for another 8 minutes she reaches for the bottled soap she uses and slides her hands first around her neck then down the sternum area before caressing her breasts and circling her hands over her flat stomach. Her hands then sweep down into her crotch area cleaning thorougly and sliding her hands down the legs. Rinsing off the soapiness takes another 18 minutes. Stepping out of the shower, Adriana grabs a regular towel to dry her hair before grabbing a thick towel to dry her body off. She wraps the regular towel around her hair and wraps the thick towel around her body and ties it on. After finishing in the bathroom Adriana steps into the bedroom and puts on her panties then the bra. Sitting on the bed she pulls on the hosiery. Pulling the shirt off the bed she puts it on then grabs the mid size skirt and pulls it up, tucking her shirt beneath it. Reaching for the light jacket she puts it on last. Walking back into the bathroom and putting on some makeup, Adriana hears the phone ring. It is her assistant Freida calling from Switzerland with the news that one wealthy European heiress was seen at the Ford Theatre the night before in the company of a handsome mystery man. "Yes, Freida, I was and am not revealing any details to the media" "A Faversham employee was at the theatre and confirmed the sighting" replied Frieda. "Are you having me followed, Frieda?" "Of course not, Adriana, but it is company policy to have an employe to always be near you no matter where you are."

|Tony Salkind aka Anthony Corrado was happy the following morning admiring the young and beautiful heiress laying next to him with her hair swept over part of him and one leg hugging him. Anthony wondered not for the first time if he should give up the criminal but adventurous life he has been living and join most men in suburbia with their wives and SUV's and a brood of rugrats. But the thought passed as it always does and he knew he needed the adrenaline rush of a good caper that would come close to falling apart and always pulling it out of the fire in the nick of time.

|Adriana and Anthony were strongly attracted to each other and went to a club after the play at Ford's Theatre and enjoyed the evening together. Later at the hotel, Adriana invited Anthony Corrado up to her room. Aldo walked to Anthony's car and went through the glove compartment to find some personal information and after contacting the local bank to do a search, he learned Anthony Corrado was a false identity despite a history of criminal activities that had been conducted under that name.

|Aldo Alamain, wearing a simple but elegant suit sat in the fourth row in Ford's Theatre, enjoyed the play but occasionally glancing at the young Faversham heiress a few seats away. Aldo, an employee of the Faversham bank that Adriana now owned, was an Economics Intelligence analyst. Standing well over six feet four inches when standing, Aldo was sitting in front of an elderly woman who was craning her head sideways to catch what was going on, on the stage. It was Aldo's business to roam the world and monitor any and all activity that may harm or help the Faversham bank. It was no coincidence that he happened to be in Washington, D.C. when she had come to the United states. Sometimes he felt it was his duty to see that nothing or anything happen towards the heiress. Not exactly a bodyguard or muscleman but Aldo knew that it was in the best interests of the bank to keep an eye on things when it came to the people that Adriana associated with. Glancing around at the audience he recognized many well known people in politics, business and other professional people that made up the population of the elite, governing elements of the United States. He did notice that some of them had recognized Adriana and were chattering about having a European heiress in their midst.

|Anthony Corrado sat a few booths down from Al and Dirk and smiled as the men discussed the virtues of Vera, the waitress. Poring over some statistical analysis that would bore most people, Anthony recalled the young woman that had sat next to him onboard the jet. Obviously she had something on her mind and Anthony hoped it was nothing too serious to bother the young woman. Vera came over and asked if he wanted any dessert. "No, thank you, Vera" Anthony decided that enough was enough of poring over the numbers and got up, putting the binder in the briefcase and walked out of the homestyle restaurant that he has visited over the years on his trips to Washington, D.C. Then driving at a casual pace, he made good time on the way to the CIA Headquarters. Upon arrival and clearing security, Anthony met with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Adam LeMasters. Presenting his case for the project that had been proposed by one of the many contractors for the CIA, Anthony felt confident in his address to the Director. "You make a very good case, Mr. Corrado, and the people you represent are one of the best in their field. We have dealt with them many times over the past several years and will give it our utmost attention. I will give you a call tomorrow with the answer Mr. Corrado, thank you." Anthony drove the rental back to the city and after refreshing himself at the hotel, went to a play at Ford's Theatre. His seat was second from the aisle, in the third row from the stage. Two minutes after he sat down, a young woman sat in the aisle seat and when he saw her profile, he recognized the young woman from the jet. "Miss, you may not know this, but I recall we sat next to each other onboard the jet down from Boston. You were so distracted in thought at the time I did not disturb the moment with idle chatter or inquiry. May I ask your first name?" "My name is Adriana" she came back with a winning smile as she admired the handsome man as the curtains rose up and the play began.

|Al Giordino sat in the passenger seat of the roadster as Dirk floored the gas pedal through the Virginian countryside road on this warm and beautiful spring day. He could tell that Dirk was flying and thoughtful and decided not to bother his best friend. Coming out of his reverie, Dirk looked over at Al and smiled. "Hungry?" "Yes!" replied Al, grinning. Dirk mashed the accelerator and made a sharp left turn as Al swore he felt several G Forces press on his strong, muscular frame. In less than ten minutes the roadster pulled into a small parking lot of a small, homestyle restaurant and the two men stepped out of the roadster and walked inside. After being seated, the blonde waitress walked back with a couple of menus, swinging her hips at the two handsome men and gave her best smile. "Thank you, Vera" said Dirk. Three minutes later, Vera returned and took their orders. "I'll have the Meatloaf dinner" replied Al. "I'll have the Salmon dinner, thank you" said Dirk. Vera walked back to the kitchen swinging her hips as Al admired her form. Dirk smiled at Al. "When will you ever learn, Al, that she prefers me" "I will wear her down and win her yet" replied Al with a grin.

|2007. Adriana Faversham sat in the reading room of the Titanic Museum reading Lillian Faversham's journal. After reading nearly forty pages, Adriana stopped to take a break and took off her reading glasses, chewing the end of it while thinking about a passage that was startling yet intrguing. It may not lead anywhere, thought Adriana, but she knew it was not in her nature to let something go without gnawing on it like a bone. Picking up where she left off, Adriana continued reading until she finished the whole journal. After leaving the Titanic Museum she drove back to the hotel and called the airport and booked a flight to Washington, D.C. and packed her clothing and signed out of the hotel. Within two hours she was sitting on the jet and thinking, unaware that a handsome man was sitting next to her. He was admiring the young, dark haired beauty but realized she was lost in thought and decided not to bother her. Anthony Corrado wondered what kind of woman she was. He could see that she had hazel eyes that glowed with warmth and humor.

|1987. Onboard the Titanic after her raising, Dirk Pitt had found some time to explore the insides of the ship before the storm hit. While passing through the luxury class of suites onboard, Dirk decided to enter one out of curiosity. The Suite he picked had the remains of a woman inside the sitting room. He found a valise near her body and looked inside and saw what looked to be a journal. Dirk carefully picked it up and skimmed a few pages and decided it would be fitting to have something for the historians to pore over.

|June 4, 1867. Holding little Ausdell Faversham, Lillian burped the young boy of 2 years old. Proud of her little son, Lillian had high hopes for him. It would be after her death onboard the Titanic, that Ausdell would meet his death in the first year of the war to end all wars as a General in the service of the German Army. Ausdell would marry in 1889 to an American woman, Finola, with whom he would father four boys. The second oldest child, Auguste would be killed several weeks after Ausdell died in an aerial battle over France where his biplane would be shot down. Albert, his eldest son would succeed in the world of banking at the Faversham bank and would lead the bank until the late 1950s when he would retire. Andre, the third son would serve in World War 2 successfully and would rise to be a General himself in the German Army. Later, Andre would have a modest career in business. Alexander, the youngest son of Ausdell and Finola would become a professor of Psychology and move to the United States during the early 1950s.

|May 29, 1867. After witnessing the signing of the Ausgleich by Franz Joseph of Austria and by Ferenc Deak, the leader of the Magyar delegation, Lillian Faversham was pleased as the newly created Austro-Hungarian Empire was completed, after many compromises and back room deals. Her newly created Faversham bank will profit by the new entity. The former Lillian Fairhoeven was born March 16, 1844 and had married the elderly Frederick Fairhoeven back in 1863. After Frederick's passing late last year and inheriting his bank, Lillian was caught up in the deals with the newly created empire that Frederick had played a major part in.

Tangible Magic and the Forevertron(24 Jul 2014)
By Miss Shannon Rollins
(Image from: http://damiensqueerworld.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/forevertron.html)
I know I'd said that this post would be about Romantic Fabrication, but I've decided to mix things up a bit and talk about tangible magic and the art of Steampunk.
Tangible Magic is a term I use to describe the uncanny of the nineteenth century, from a Neo-Victorian perspective. The zoetrope, phenakistoscope, Magic Lantern, the early cinematic astonishment of Auguste and Louis Lumière, and outrageous acts such as Chevalier Blondin beguiled audiences, challenging their perceptions of reality. These acts defied the cultural understanding of their viewers, creating a dichotomy of sensations as the technology – or person, in the case of tightrope walker Blondin – could be touched, experienced, and known to be real yet the output outperformed its appearance. Thus, this term tangible magic seeks to define the tangential experience of being able to touch an object yet be confounded and delighted by its unknown abilities. For the zoetrope, the illusion of motion is the product of a simple trick on the eye, watching static images revolve through slits in the cylinder.
(Image from: http://www.stageninedesign.com/3d-zoetrope/)
Suddenly a moving image appears, delighting the beholder. This, in the nineteenth century, passed beyond the realm of the ordinary, creating what we can only conjecture as a sincere sensation of the uncanny. And, as we all know, this is an integral emotion in Gothic studies. And it is through this technologically based uncanny that bridges the gap between Steampunk art and the Gothic mind.
(Image from: http://steampunkjewelrybydreamsteam.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/dr-evermors-forevertron-steampunk.html)
Initiating his build in the 1980s, Tom Every began piecing together the Forevertron is arguably the world's largest scrap metal sculpture. It incorporates two Edison dynamos and the decontamination chamber from Apollo 11, just to name a few fascinating aspects joined together in this fantasy structure. Every, or rather his 19th century alter-ego Dr. Evermor, meticulously assembled the structure as a canon to launch himself into the heavens. Included is a teahouse gazebo, specially designed for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to view the spectacular ascension. Also included are an aviary orchestra to entertain the crowd, oversized insects, and a telescope so that those who doubt may view Dr. Evermor's trajectory. In reality, this is a static amalgam of scrap metal, which cannot launch anything into the air, least of all a man. However, in the world of Neo-Victorian fantasy, the Forevertron need not work in contemporary reality; its job is to provoke imagination and enjoyment. In this way, it holds – and admittedly large! – space in the heritage of tangible magic. In this case, you can touch the metal, know the back story, enjoy the aesthetic, but in order to appreciate it on all intended levels, the viewer must bring their imagination – their own magic. In an interview with Wired's Michelle Delio, Every explains: "Look, this isn't Disneyland," said Every. "I'm not here to entertain you. If you want to have fun here, you have to participate, you have to add your own thoughts into the mix. Boring people are totally bored here, but interesting people have a great time." In this interview, Every shows what I love about Steampunk. You have to love imagination, magic, whimsy, and your brain.
I likely will only have one more post here on the IGA blog, and I'll spend the next few days thinking on possible topics. Same as last time, if there's anything you'd like covered just tweet me @steampunkette!

Lexi Culkeen entered Bishop Fenwick with no track experience, never mind having any familiarity with the shot put. But by the time she graduates this spring, Culkeen could be the best the school has ever had in that event. Also a standout in field hockey, Culkeen has a full scholarship to College of the Holy Cross, where the track team's throwing program will be built around her. She will be a pre-med major.
Culkeen ranks in the top 10 of her senior class with a 4.25 GPA, and remains involved in the community. Culkeen has served in the Buddy Program, the Peer Leadership Program, the Outreach Program and Young Neighbors in Action, among other extracurricular activities.
Culkeen sets lofty goals both in the classroom and in athletics and has a drive not commonly found in student/athletes.
"She places very high expectations on herself and accepts those I've placed on her to join the ranks of our most successful athletes," Fenwick track coach Jay Smith said. "Lexi is acutely aware of herself and her potential, and she consistently seeks improvement."
