In honor or my new sig, check out these pics of baby V/M and Elena. They are so cute!
(Thanks binker).
And I agree Lola how Tessa is able to hold herself up is amazing. After reading Meyer's review I appreciate it even more (Meyers said she must have something harder than abs of steel lol).
"Theyre everything in a team that we strive to be...they are to me the quintessential ice dance team of our time."~Kaitlyn Weaver
Elena Ilinykh is probably a fan since the first minute, these photo are just so cute!
And Shayii, where is the quote from Elena coming from?
I was going to do this yesterday, but forgot. I rmr pezazz saying she was going to the London show. I hope you had a great time!
"Theyre everything in a team that we strive to be...they are to me the quintessential ice dance team of our time."~Kaitlyn Weaver
so I went to my first stars on ice show in london and i loved it. I took a friend who knew nothing about figure skating and she is now obsessed. I recommend on ice seats for anybody who can go because they are amazing. Jeffery buttle shook my hand! I thought the show was very clean in comparison to what happened at the hamilton taping show. just to add to meyers commentary, scott appeared to be in charge of the lifts in the championship number. He was the one telling them when to switch and always seems to be watching tessa or at least aware of her in all the group numbers. Jen swan was at the show too. BTW thanks to all who post SOI videos, i now appreciate the effort it takes to tape and watch at the same time . my friend took some videos and i will post soon.
*thanks shayii, I had a great time

I just came across this on youtube.......from last year's SOI......Scott and the "boys"......(in muscle shirts).....you've probably seen it but here it is anyway
Addicted to FSU
Yes, they truly have amazing connection. It was interesting because in their stay number, Scott missed a step in the choreography that was apparent probably only to me because I was so focused on them and then he winks at Tessa immediately after. They say they always talk throughout their routines and although the talking was not as apparent in stay, it was in Carmen. And just to comment on Carmen, I thought it was very good in exhibition form and what Meyers was saying about how they took a moment after bowing was very apparent and you could sense them taking in the moment. What else...to talk about other skaters, I thought joannie And Jeff's duo routine was pretty random but they seemed to be having fun. Ashley is a very clean performer that is all about nuances and finishing all her moves, its exquisite to watch. Megan and Eric were good and holy is Megan's back jacked lol. Shawn Sawyer is an amazing performer and absolutely loved both his performances. Kurt was amazing in how effortless he was. Patrick and Jeff were great to watch as well.
just re-read your beautifully rendered account of your meeting with Tessa and Scott, iggie. Your writing is so vivid and textured. Like Shayii said, I felt like I was there with you. Thank you for making us all a part of this wonderful experience
And the story about the rice was really lovely. They are so sweet to each other.
Also, i love that quote from sequins. Sums it up perfectly.
And thanks for the photos, Dani! I always love your pics, and these are just gorgeous.
Glad you enjoyed the show, PEZazzzz, and thank you so much for your review!
And thx for the link, clarie. Love that number

I just want to know can someone dance the finnstep to Edith Piaf?
I believe that Piaf's "Milord" is in 2/4 time, as is the Finnstep, so it could be used, if it is played at a tempo of Music 52 measures of 2 beats per minute. I would not be at all surprised to see P&B using it.
pani, I was thinking about that, but this is for the Olympics, and teams often seem to pick themes that are strongly associated either with their lives or their countries, so P&B might do French music again.
No one complains when Russian teams do music from Russian composers and Russian films year after year, after all.
It isn't like P&B used Piaf this year-they used Cancan and Yves Montand.
Interesting comments by Margaglio about the differences between ballroom on the floor and ballroom on the ice, as well as the difficulties of judging "dancing" on ice: http://www.wintersport-news.com/12004,News.html
Q: Let's talk a little bit more about ice dance: everybody is already talking about the next season's choice for the Short Dance: the Finnstep. It has been a controversial decision, some people don't approve the choice of a relatively new dance for a crucial season, the Olympic one. Someone else says it will not be easy at all to skate. What do you think?
A: "I think that for every Pattern chosen, someone will agree and someone will complain. In my opinion it simply is the choice of a Senior Compulsory Dance that is integrated into the Short Dance. If they had put Tango Romantica I would have been happy, if they had put Ravensburger I would have been happy, but then someone would have said that it would have been repetitive. I don't see a problem with it, I'd rather think whether it is appropriate to take the old Compulsory Dances and put them into the Short Dance, taking them out of their contest. But this thought is not only related to the Finnstep, but rather more on every Pattern Dance. On the contrary, among the Compulsories, Finnstep is one of those that is better related with ballroom dancing, to the real ballroom soul. I would like to see this aspect, the interpretation of a dance, particularly rewarded, and not only the edges perfection because in my opinion who wins in this discipline must be able to dance. This is at the base of my mentality, and I am extremely strict about it, otherwise it would have been called "Ice Technique". I don't even think that bringing the ballroom dance judges here could help for the problem I was mentioning. I have worked a lot with ballroom dancers, amazing people, World Champions, but it was difficult for them to understand our needs, to interpret what we were bringing on the ice. When Barbara and I were working with them, in fact, we were asking them to show what they were able to do: we could then "translate" on the ice. Therefore, if you dance to Quickstep or Foxtrot, the ballroom dancer wants to see how you properly move your heels and toes. But you don't have this movement on the ice, you have a rigid blade under your feet, so what we do instead is a little jump to give the idea of that movement. We can't always dance on toes, otherwise we would always stop instead of skate. Another example is the "hold": the arm position can be different in ballroom and ice dancing: we have to follow some specific Technical Rules requirements, but a ballroom dancer would not tolerate it: nevertheless this is "tolerated" on the ice, because dancing on a ballroom floor instead of an ice rink, where you skate at 20, 30 km/h, is way different. What I think is fundamental is "educating" to ballroom dance skaters, coaches and judges, everyone. The Technical Specialist should look at the steps and the judges should look at the actual dance: this, in my opinion, has been forgotten."
I read this interview before, thank you, sap5.
This what T-S did with latin. They talked a lot about how to translate hip movements on ice. And they did great job with this dance.
Now i hope they will try to do the same with Quickstep.
Love V&M's skating.

Herald-Banner Staff
A former Hunt County constable, who allegedly shot two people in Rockwall Saturday night, killing one of the victims, was recovering Sunday from wounds he received in a shoot-out with law enforcement officers in Greenville.
The second of Lewis' alleged victims was expected to survive the wounds he received in the incident, according to a report from the Rockwall Police Department.
Anthony Dewayne Lewis, 47, was listed Sunday afternoon in critical condition at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where he had undergone surgery, according to Sgt. Aaron McGrew.
McGrew said Lewis had been charged with one count each of murder and attempted murder, with a total $1.5 million bond set.
"He will be under guard until he is released from Parkland and then will be transferred to the Rockwall County Detention Center," McGrew said.
Jessica Aguilar, 33, of Rockwall was identified as the fatality, and Francisco Delacruz, 40, of Dallas was the second shooting victim.
"The male victim is in stable condition at Baylor Med Center in Dallas," McGrew said. "All indications are he will surivive his wounds."
Lewis will also likely be charged in connection with the gun battle which was reported on Interstate 30 near the Monty Stratton Parkway in Greenville, following a high speed pursuit.
Officers with the Rockwall County Police Department responded at around 8 p.m. Saturday to a report of a shooting at The Harbor in Rockwall and found two victims, a male and a female, who had been shot multiple times. Lewis fled the scene but was identified as Aguilar's ex-boyfriend.
Lewis was chased by the DPS, the Rockwall Police Department and the Royse City Police Department to just west of the Monty Stratton Parkway, where he his car was spiked. Lewis was also reported to have rammed a DPS vehicle.
Lewis was alleged to have pointed a handgun and to have exchanged fire with the officers before being shot.
Aquilar later died at a local hospital.
The Rockwall shooting is under investigation by the Rockwall Police Department. The Hunt County shooting is under investigation by the Texas Rangers.
Lewis had previously served as Constable for Precinct 2, but was defeated in seeking reelection to the position during the May 2012 primary.
In a campaign announcement, Lewis said he had extensive law enforcement experience.
"Since 1986, I have been a dedicated Police Officer, Fireman/Paramedic, Police Sergeant, Deputy Constable and an Elected Constable," Lewis said. "I have received over 3500 hours of in-service training which includes a Master Peace Officer Certificate, Intermediate Firefighter Certificate, Intermediate Aircraft Rescue Firefighter Certificate, Fire/Arson Certificate and Texas Department of Health Paramedic Certificate. I have over 250 hours of specialized training as an Advanced Tactical/Swat Officer along with being assigned to Dallas County's Elite Special Response Team as its Tactical Medic."

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
I have two types of pain, and I'm not sure if one is related to the other or not, if they are a gastro-intestinal problem or a GYN problem. The first I will discuss is the lower abdominal pain. Located in the center of my abdomen, right in the pelvic region, deep, not superficial. It's not even a pain really, more like an uncomfortable pressure. It never ceases, but at times its barely noticeable, and at other times, it's painful, but not sharp pain at all, but dull heavy almost-pain but isn't. Easy to endure, easy to ignore. Coughing and sneezing cause painful pressure. Sex is often painful somewhere deep inside, near my uterus. Almost never get constipation, usually have loose bowels and alot of painful gas...
I have regular periods, which are medium / heavy flow with alot of cramping and passing blood clots, sometimes as big as dimes. My cycles have always been regular, except 2 years ago. I was also 140 lbs overweight (topped the scales at 270 lbs. on home scale), I was working and going to school full time. My periods stopped for about 6 months. Later, when I back on a normal schedule, and lost some weight, periods went back to normal. I have since lost 70 lbs. I also believe myself to have a hormone imbalance of some sort, cause I grow facial hair (lip and chin, male pattern hair growth), and quite a lot of body hair as well. I have to shave facial hair daily. I don't know if this info has any relevance here, but I thought I'd throw it in anyway...
Now for the rectal pain. It comes about once every few months. The only way I can describe it is like this : it's like having a lightning bolt shoved straight up my butt! A bolt of white hot electricity shooting straight through my rectum... It is so painful, so intense, it has literally knocked me of my feet, I was walking and I fell on the floor in pain. It hit me while I was driving once, and I remember lifting my whole behind off the seat and arching my back, and my foot stomped down on the excellerator and I couldn't move my leg to stop. I can usually feel this pain about to happen, it gives a warning, and I have to brace myself before it happens, or else I will fall. It's what I would imagine it feels like to be electricuted. These intense pains last about 10 - 20 seconds, and then they're gone for months, like they never existed, forgotten about until months down the line when hit again.
In your specific case, the deep lower abdominal pain might be either GYN or GI in nature, so it may take an evaluation from a GYN first--followed by a GI specialist if needed. Here are some possible, GYN sources of the type you have described:
1.? Endometriosis (bits of uterine lining tissue growing on the bowel, bladder, ovaries, etc). The endometriosis implants go through the same cycle as uterine lining—they slough off and bleed monthly. Because there is no outflow for the bleeding, the body creates bands of filmy scar tissue ("adhesions") as a response to the inflammation of monthly bleeding into the abdomen. These adhesions can "glue" together organs in the abdomen.
2.? Adhesions can also be formed if a woman has had an abdominal surgery or a serious abdominal infection (eg PID or ruptured appendix).
3.? Adenomyosis is endometriosis that has grown into the muscular walls of the uterus. In addition to pain it can produce a uterus that is enlarged, tender, and boggy. Unfortunately, adenomyosis is usually diagnosed only after hysterectomy has been performed. One could have a suspicion for adenomyosis if the woman, or her family, has a history of endometriosis.
4.? Pelvic congestion syndrome is also more difficult condition to diagnosis. It involves varicose veins of the uterus or ovaries.
5.? Uterine prolapse can create a dragging, heavy pain. The supportive tissues become relaxed and the uterus drops down into the vaginal canal.
6.? Large uterine or ovarian masses. Even benign masses such as large external uterine fibroids, or large dermoid cysts, can put pressure on surrounding organs.
To get the most accurate diagnosis you would likely need a thorough pelvic exam and an ultrasound. A GYN can also evaluate if elevated male hormones (eg PCOS) are the cause of the unwanted hair growth growth.
As for the sudden, searing anal pain I don't have the expertise of even make a good guess (?spasm, ?neurological). You can ask a GYN, but they may refer you to a GI MD for a diagnosis.
PS BIG congrats on your healthier new weight. That's no easy task!
Thank you for your reply. Everything you said is what I was already thinking myself. Endometriosis and/or PCOS are probably most likely. I suspect polycystic ovaries, because they can cause pelvic pressure and pain, and I know that is usually the cause of women having elevated male hormones which cause facial hair growth. I was reading the symptoms, and most of them seem to fit. I was speaking to my cousin the other day (who has had many female issues herself), and she told me I may have endometriosis (she had both endometriosis and pcos). She said just what you said, that hard painful periods is one sign, but also endometrial tissue can form outside the uterus and cause GI trouble, it could all be related. My mother was never diagnosed with endometriosis or pcos, but she had hard periods, so hard her doctor gave her demerol for her pain, and she also has dense facial hair. She had to have a hysterectomy at 36, exactly my age.
Also, IBS has also crossed my mind, becuase I stay gassy and bloated and have loose bowels more often than not.
You spoke about surgical adhesions and scarring. I had a ruptured appendix in 1987 when I was 11 years old. The doctors didn't know what was wrong with me, so I was rushed into emergency exploritory surgery, where they found fragments of my exploded appendix and severe perotonitis infecting my whole perotoneal cavity. I almost died. But that was 25 years ago. Do you think that after all this time, that could have an effect now? That never crossed my mind at all.
i have a GYN appt in a few weeks at the free clinic (I have no insurance), for my annual pap, which is about a year or 2 overdue. Should I request being tested further for PCOS and endometriosis? Or should I go in with a list of symptoms and let them figure it out? They may not be as smart as you... LOL. I rarely go to doctors and they intimidate me a little, and they make me feel stupid. I really don't know how to talk to them, especially about things of a personal nature. Also, we all know doctors just LOOOVVVEE people who refer to Dr. Internet before them.

This Friday (August 14) promises an opportunity to see some homegrown circus performers in a stellar location, and also do some homegrown good. The Runaway Circus, from Asheville, and Knoxville's own Olive Tree Circus, will perform at Ironwood Studios (119 Jennings St.). Donations are accepted and encouraged, with concessions and a portion of the door going to Community Shares. "Runaway Circus is touring," says Community Shares Executive Director Shelley Wascom. "My friend Ingrid Johnson is a member. She called me with the idea of a benefit. I've not seen this particular circus, but every time I've seen her groups it's been really entertaining. There's lots of acrobatic balancing and juggling and great music. They do the—what do you call that thing that hangs down?—the trapeze. Olive Tree Circus is actually from Knoxville. They just got back from the olive harvest in Palestine, and their work is a little more political."
The show starts at 7 p.m.

He encouraged actions which reduced suffering. So, if we have to choose between killing an aphid and killing a steer, we should choose whichever creates less suffering.
Since a steer can feed many beings, and an aphid, very few, one to one, it seems the benefit of killing steer outweighs that of killing an aphid since the suffering of hunger is reduced for many by killing a steer and the killing of an aphid reduces the suffering of hunger for no one, apart perhaps from that of an aphid wasp's progeny*, oh and the humans that eat the produce form farms where aphid wasps and other creatures are employed to eradicate pests.
Your argument just does not work.
The subfamilly Pemphredoninae also known as the aphid wasps...As with all other sphecoid wasps, the larvae are carnivorous; females hunt for prey on which to lay their eggs, mass provisioning the nest cells with paralyzed, living prey that the larvae feed upon after hatching from the egg.
In short, you cannot compare the suffering of one sentient being with another and state as an absolute fact, this being suffers more than that when it comes to ending the life of one given being vs another given being.

Ezra Mann
Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma —
The Internet streaming format has done a lot to bring convenience to us lazy movie fans, but I've found I can still occasionally discover hidden treasures at a video rental store. More often than not these discoveries are independent studio releases and while some are better left forgotten, the majority are at least as good if not better than the cash vacuum titles with all of the attention. Such was the case when I snagged this item of focus, yet to be fair it did have one of my favorite African American actors pasted on the cover. Still, this unknown not only fit into my previous statement, those watching with me were enamored as well with the potential of adding a permanent copy later on. "The Magic of Belle Isle" is for the most part an overcoming all odds feel good family flick and delivers a message one is never too weary to embrace. The story presented welcomes viewers to a rather crotchety western novel writer named Monte Wildhorn (Morgan Freeman), who has resigned himself to wasting away through his alcoholism. He would be well past rockbottom if it weren't for his nephew Henry (Kenan Thompson), who has insisted on trying to rekindle his writing muse by taking him to a peaceful community called Belle Isle. Stubborn in spite of it all, he does a pretty good job of sticking to his drinking regimen until he comes across an attractive young woman named Charlotte O'Neil (Virginia Madsen) and her meddlesome kids. Two of these children Finnegan (Emma Fuhrmann) and Flora (Nicolette Pierini), seem determined to take up interfering with most of Monte's time and before he realizes it, they are changing him in ways he never thought possible. While the plot can get a little sappy at times, it progresses at a pace that makes just about anyone watching a fan with character interactions worthy of award and praise. Sadly it probably does not somehow qualify for the big movie awards or will likely be ignored for a spot already guaranteed for nauseatingly artistic fare. However, I recommend it for all ages as another wholesome option with enough social commentary spice thrown in to make it interesting. The best part is by the time it is over you feel like you have been given a complete product with each minute appropriately used. I suppose the only thing that threw me is how well Freeman can carry himself, even when he is portraying someone who is drunk. It's all good enough to earn a final verdict of four out of five elephants for "The Magic of Belle Isle."

Limestone County has established a dynasty of sorts when it comes to electing Alabama Beta Club officers.
Clements rising senior Alec Van Wagnen became the second straight local student to be chosen as the club's state president after running against three other candidates during the 73rd annual state convention held in April at the Birmingham-Jefferson Complex.
Van Wagnen, 18, succeeded Athens Bible School's Ben Gilbert, who graduated in May and served as the 2012-13 state president for Beta Club, which is an honor student organization that emphasizes community service.
Since 1999, a Clements student has been selected for a state office at the junior or senior level in every calendar year except 2010 and 2011, including seven elected as state president. Mark White also held the state office from 1976-77.
Van Wagnen's wagon
Van Wagnen used a catchy slogan, campaign help from other clubs and a Civil War prop to become the eighth student from his school to nab the state Beta presidency.
"The first thing we came up with was the campaign slogan — 'Jump on the bandwagon, vote for Van Wagnen,' and it's funny how all the ideas sprang from that. In the campaign skit, we used my grandfather's wagon, which is an old replica from the Civil War," Van Wagnen said. "After we wheeled that big wagon on-stage for the skit, the main talking point backstage was questions about how we got it down there. Ben's dad used a truck from his Jeep dealership to haul it down to Birmingham for us.
"The cool thing about the campaign was that other schools in Limestone County helped us campaign since there were only about 30 of us from our school."
More than 2,000 students attended the state convention, and Van Wagnen said he tried to meet as many of them as possible while campaigning. He also sought advice from school Beta sponsor Mitzi Gilbert and school Beta president Hollie Evans, who ran for state secretary the previous year.
Van Wagnen said he focused on servant leadership during his 2-minute on-stage interview question.
"My answer was service, and I referenced the Bible in a sense because leadership is serving others. When you're helping others to do the best they can, that exemplifies leadership by service," he said.
Van Wagnen, who plays trumpet in the Clements band and a mix of shortstop, third base and pitcher for the Colts' baseball team, said while he does not have political ambitions, he closely follows current events and policy.
"I've always had an interest in politics, meeting people and traveling. My parents have talked to me about the importance of voting … they have inspired me to take a little more initiative and think about things going on in the world, and to be a decision-maker," said Van Wagnen on Friday in between classes for an ongoing leadership course at Samford University in Birmingham. "I think people would be surprised how being an informed voter and talking to other people about your ideas can affect policy and how decisions are made."
Beta background
Nationwide, more than six million students have participated in Beta Club, which is divided into a junior club for grades 5-9 and a senior club for grades 9-12. The club currently has more than 420,000 active members and 8,000 clubs worldwide. Notable Beta alumni include country music singer Trisha Yearwood and TV journalist Diane Sawyer.

"Boss" shoots in Chicago?
Chicago is a totally different vibe.
You were new to Chicago?
20 Aug 2012
JG: Yeah. We shot in Chicago from March until July.
JG: A totally different vibe, but I loved Chicago a lot. I really, really liked it. I lived in downtown. I lived in the River North section on Dearborn Street. The people from Chicago said Chicago is the worst city to live in in the winter and the greatest city to live in in the summer. And, we were there from March to July. It was a very mild winter, so we really got to hit the nice part of Chicago. I mean, there's live music outdoors all the time there. And, that lake — Lake Michigan — it's heaven. It's so nice. I did a lot of bike riding there, for sure.
JG: Well, I'd been for a couple of days in high school, but I've never spent any serious time there. That was really fun to get to learn that city. When I was in London doing Deathtrap, Estelle Parsons was so adventurous and saw so many more things than I did, and when that experience was over, I made a promise to myself where I said, "If ever I get the chance to live in a new city again for a job, I'm going to sort of attack it like Estelle Parsons did and make sure I see something different every day." Even if it's just walking down a different street or taking a different route or something, I'll really get to know the city. And so I did that with Chicago. It was really great. I saw a bunch of theatre there that I really liked and did all the art museums, did the architectural boat tour. It was really fun.
JG: Yes, I did! Of course! Hello!
"Boss" shoots in Chicago?
Chicago is a totally different vibe.
You were new to Chicago?
I've never seen it in person.
JG: Oh, it was amazing! That museum is incredible. I went a couple of times to that museum. That's where the Lichtenstein retrospective was. Amazing. It's so big, and they have so much stuff there. It's funny that you mention that, too, because my agent's boyfriend who came to see the show last night said to me at the after-party, "I feel like you're having your Sunday in the Park moment in Red. The end is like 'Move On.'" I said, "Oh my God. I love that."
I'm in the middle of Netflixing the first season of "Boss" to prepare for your entrance in season two. Kelsey Grammer is the corrupt longtime mayor of Chicago. I really don't have a sense of your character, Ian Todd. Can you tell me in a nutshell?
JG: Yeah. He's basically Kelsey's new political advisor. He's this young, super-ambitious upstart, and he holds a very intense secret that gets revealed a couple of episodes into the season. It's all sort of crazy and dark from there. It's really an epic show. It's a very dramatic, a very intense ride. Kelsey's giving an epic performance. And, it's very Shakespearean. You'll see when you watch it. I watched the first season because I got the audition for the show. I was like, "Okay, I'll watch it." And, I was so blown away by it. The writing is so good, and the way that it's shot is really unique — and sort of unlike anything I've seen on TV before. Gus Van Sant shot the pilot, and so it's all hand-helds and all-natural light. It's very sort of shaky and weird close-ups of people's eyeballs — really sort of cool artistic shots. I was like, "Oh, cool. I would love to get into that." The audition scene that they gave me — again, like Red, it was: "Oh, no work required. I just have to play this scene. It's so beautifully written." I didn't know the secret that my character holds until we started shooting. My whole storyline….they kept it a secret for me. That, obviously, would have really attracted me to the role had I known beforehand. But what I was most excited about was knowing that I was going to play Kelsey's assistant and knowing I was going to spend a lot of time sort of watching him work. I really wanted to do that. I knew that the writing was so good. That's why I wanted to jump in.
I was driving upstate last weekend and saw a giant billboard for season two of "Boss" on the West Side Highway. Have you seen the new billboard — the ad campaign?
JG: [Laughs.] Yes! We're hanging on meat hooks!
I said, "Is that Jonathan Groff hanging from a meat hook?"
JG: [Laughs.] "Just where he belongs!" We were actually hanging for that photo shoot. They strung us up. Like Mary Martin in Peter Pan, we were in harnesses, and they hung us up and took our picture, and then somehow cut it and moved it around and made us look like we were hanging from meat hooks.
I just assumed it was all illustrated and not a shoot.
JG: Yeah, no. It was totally a photo shoot! [Laughs.] The background — the meat — was not there, and we all hung separately, and they edited us together, but we were, like, hanging. We were actually hanging!
And, you were in a suit?
JG: Yes! [Laughs.] I was in a suit that they had to bust the back out of so they could fit the harness through. I mean, it was very intense.
And, it's supposed to represent Chicago's stockyards — the slaughterhouses that made it "Hog Butcher for the World."
JG: Exactly, yeah. Yes. You know what time it is!
I think there's a big pile of entrails under one of you — the insides of a cow plopped on the floor.
JG: [Laughs.] Oh my God. I've got to look closer! Oh my God.

Black Friday. Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday. These popular days following the Thanksgiving holiday have become commonplace in many American households.
All of these days kick off holiday spending, but what about giving gifts that really matter? That's where "Giving Tuesday" comes in. "Giving Tuesday" is a new campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.
United Way Worldwide is a founding partner for "Giving Tuesday," a new concept to encourage people to give to and engage with non-profit organizations early in the giving season. "Giving Tuesday" is Tuesday, Nov 27, immediately following Black Friday (11/23), Small Business Saturday (11/24) and Cyber Monday (11/26).
Within our community, United Way of Lake County (UWLC) has developed an online Gift Giving Catalog, available at www.LIVEUNITEDlakecounty.org/holiday. It allows people to easily give that help children in Lake County succeed. It's a wonderful way to make the season more meaningful while preparing our children to succeed in a changing world.
Every gift is a unique way to honor the friends and loved ones on your holiday list by making a gift in their name. Make a donation in honor of or in memory of a special person who made a difference in your life. Or consider a gift from United Way of Lake County's Holiday Catalog in lieu of holiday gifts to your employees or clients.
Whether you choose to provide a school readiness kit for a preschooler or sponsor a computer training night for high school parents, any gift you choose will bring both hope and encouragement. And because every tax-deductible gift goes toward United Way of Lake County's overall mission, you'll help prepare children to succeed in a changing world.
Support Giving Tuesday and charitable giving right in your own backyard. Shop UWLC's Holiday Catalog at: www.LIVEUNITEDlakecounty.org/holiday.
About United Way of Lake County:
United Way of Lake County (UWLC) is preparing our children to succeed in a changing world by focusing on education and building safe and stable families. Working with nonprofit agencies and community partners, we have identified four key programs to prepare children to succeed: Success By 6 Program – prepare for kindergarten; Reading Success Program – read at grade level; Stay in School Program – graduate high school; Safe and Stable Families Program – empowering families. UWLC is overcoming reading and educational barriers by reaching children, from preschool through high school, through these key programs. The overall effect and benefits are multiplied by the strong collaboration with agencies and our community partners. www.liveunitedlakecounty.org.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
This is too tempting not to post. I pass it along to you, verbatim, from local artist Kimberly Miller.
RADICAL REJECT - deadline Jan. 1, 2008
"Paint the White House Black" (George Clinton)
Wanted: rejected, denied, suppressed, repressed, uncontainable ideas. This is a call for ideas that are too big, bountiful and bold. This is a submission call interested in radical ideas that may or may not be possible to realize materially. It's also a project that's interested in ideas that have been deemed too radical by ideological forces/power structures.
RADICAL REJECT aims to pry open the institution's fingers from around the neck of ideas that may or may not correspond to their loaded parameters, and let these ideas air out in a public space.
This is not a show about rejection, it is a show about RADICALS who REJECT rejection, and refuse to be beat down, lie down, denied, go unheard or unseen or away.
Submit your proposal, text, images, application, runner-up certificate or project that has been deemed too radical by the petty bougie jury/committee/overseer out there. Previous receipt of awards, grants and opportunities does not prevent you from participating. RADICAL REJECT will eventually take a printed form, so keep this in mind. Sound, video, film, etc. are welcome, but several hundred will be printed, and CD/DVD inserts may be supplied by the artist.
Please pass this along to all who may be interested.
send by Jan. 1 to: firstname.lastname@example.com or RADICAL REJECT, 2121 N. 52nd St. Milwaukee, WI 53208.

By Jean DePlacido
---- — DANVERS — After a disappointing season a year ago, the Danvers High girls basketball team set a goal to get back to the state tournament this winter.
Consider that goal accomplished. A 46-26 win over Swampscott was the 10th victory of the season for the Falcons, earning them a spot in the upcoming Division 2 North playoffs.
"I thought our girls made a statement in the first five minutes of the third quarter," said Falcons (10-6) head coach Pat Veilleux. "Getting our 10th win is big, especially after last season (5-15). We definitely have some things to work on, but I also saw some good things out there."
A scrappy Swampscott (6-9) team was playing without its leading scorer, Ari Talkov, who is out with an ankle injury. She has missed her team's last four games.
The game was tied at 10 all after the first quarter, but the Falcons started to pull away in the second after a 9-0 run to take a 21-12 lead at the half. Freshman Devin Walsh led the way with six of her 12 points during that run, and Falcons' defense allowed only two points in that eight-minute span.
Three times during the game, Swampscott failed to get a shot off before the 30-second clock expired because of Danvers' smothering defense.
"We never do anything the easy way," said Veilleux. "Talkov is one of the best players in our league, and it's tough for them to be without her. Give Swampscott all the credit for playing hard all the way. They made us work for it. I've always loved the way Alexa Goldman plays; she's their sparkplug."
Danvers was able to open up a big lead in the third quarter, scoring a dozen unanswered points led by Kasey Sherry (13 points). A Walsh layup gave the hosts a 34-14 lead.
Emily McNulty also finished in double figures for the Falcons with 10 points. Hannah Llewellyn led the team in rebounds with six and Ashley Arnoldy had five. Delaney Zecha and Sherry had two steals apiece.
The Big Blue made a run late in the third quarter to cut the lead to 13 after Rachel Moran hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer. They cut it to 10 at the start of the fourth after a basket by Anna Greene and foul shot by Olivia Cook, but couldn't get any closer.
"Our defense did a good job, but we can't get the ball in the net," said Swampscott coach Abrom Roberts. "Goldman gives it everything she's got all the time, but it's hard on her because she's the only captain out there now. She feels it's all on her now to carry the team. We've got to get the concept across about moving the ball around more to find the open person."

Many events planned in G.C. this weekend
Bridal show among activities.
Bridal show among activities.
By The Telegram
"Head over Heels," The Garden City Telegram's second annual bridal show, is scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Clarion Inn, 1911 E. Kansas Ave.
Robin Phelan, Telegram advertising director, said 70 brides and more than 300 people attended last year's bridal show. He expects turnout to be even greater this year.
"We have a lot more than last year, a lot more growth. Anything someone can use for their special day," he said.
As Garden City's only bridal show, Sunday's event will feature more than 50 vendors, including caterers, wedding cakes, wedding and prom dresses, rental businesses, furniture, gift ideas, floral, deejays, limos, "and lots of other stuff."
"This is a fun thing. You will have a good time," Phelan said. "There is something for everybody."
Phelan said the bridal show will be interactive, featuring live models wearing wedding dresses and other wedding attire, along with cake cutting demonstrations and samples and catering samples.
"There will be tons of demonstrations," Phelan said. "One of the unique things this year is we will be having the cosmetology school from the college at the show doing hair, nails and demonstrating things along those lines."
Admission is free. All who attend have a chance to win a $100 door prize; brides will have the opportunity to win a $500 door prize for their special day.
Other giveaways include a $500 pendant from Riddle's Jewelry, $500 in china from Celebrity China, and thousands of dollars in door prizes that anyone can register for.
The bridal show is sponsored by The Telegram, Clarion Inn and Ewe Specialties and Perfect Occasions.
More information about the event is available online at www.facebook.com/GCTelegramBridalShow2013, and at www.gctelegram.com/bridalshow.
Other events this weekend include:
• The First Christian Church, 306 N. Seventh St., will host the 14th annual Navajo Taco Dinner from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the church basement.
The special dine-in or carry-out meal consists of authentic Navajo Indian fry bread topped with beef, beans and a variety of condiments. A slice of homemade pie and beverage are included in the ticket price of $6.
Tickets may be purchased at the church office during regular business hours. Tickets at the door will be $7. A live auction of antiques and collectibles begins at 6 p.m. Auction items will include three hand-sewn, hand-quilted quilts; and a hand-crafted olive wood nativity from Bethlehem.
Last year, more than $24,000 was given back in outreach to community organizations like Russell Child Development Center, Family Crisis Center and many other local charities.
For more information, contact the church at 275-5411.
• The Sand and Sage Rifle and Pistol Club collectors show is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Finney County Exhibition Building. Vendors from five states will feature everything from antiques, coins, stamps, all types of firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies, gun smiths, collectables, to military surplus, arts and crafts and lots of jewelry. There will be "homemade" concessions, as well as homemade candies, cakes and pies.
Admission is $5 for adults; free for children 12 and younger with parents.
• At noon Saturday, the Garden City Police Department will host the "Polar Plunge" to benefit Special Olympics Kansas at the Garden City Municipal Pool, 504 E. Maple St. Preceding the plunge at 11 a.m. will be a one-mile strut/walk/run through the Lee Richardson Zoo, 312 Finnup Drive.
Black Hills Energy will provide a free chili feed for all participants, and warm beverages will be provided.
Participants are encouraged to come in costume, but it is not mandatory. Anyone who participates in the strut/walk/run will receive a long-sleeve T-shirt, and those who take the plunge will receive a sweatshirt.
Cost to participate in the strut/walk/run is $25 and $75 to take the plunge. Interested individuals or teams can register online up to 24 hours in advance at www.ksso.org/plunge, or can pre-register at Samy's Spirits and Steakhouse, 1911 E. Kansas Ave., from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday.
Registration also can be done on site the day of the event starting at 10 a.m.
• College Goal Sunday 2013, scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Garden City High School, will offer southwest Kansas students and families an opportunity to get help in applying for financial assistance to attend college or vocational-technical school.
The come-and-go event is open to high school students and their parents, plus anyone else interested in receiving advice and assistance in completing federal application paperwork, as well as other aspects of attaining funds for college.
Approximately 27 volunteers will assist at the Garden City site in explaining federal grants, loans and other types of college financial aid, and in helping families fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA is the basis for nearly all university and college financial assistance.
Financial aid counselors will also be available to help students apply for their required federal personal identification numbers.
Volunteers will come from GCCC and local high schools, and some will be able to speak Spanish as well as English. GCHS counselors plan to make Internet-linked laptop computers available, so students can obtain their federal PINs and submit their FAFSAs on-site. Organizers are encouraging GCHS students to bring their school issued iPads.
The day is not designed to direct students to any particular college or university, so volunteers will be able to help students no matter where they're planning to enroll.
• The GCCC College Players are staging their annual dinner theater presentation Friday and Saturday. Showtimes are 6:30 each night in the college fine arts auditorium in the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Building. The show is "Shotguns for Wedding Bells," an original comedy written by Phil Hoke, GCCC drama director.
Admission is $20 for singles or $35 for couples. Reservations are necessary, and those may be made at 276-9540, or in person at the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Building office. The play will be presented in the college fine arts auditorium, with the doors opening at 6:15 p.m.
"Guests," a.k.a. the audience, will participate in the wedding reception where they will feast on a southern dinner prepared by GCCC's Great Western Dining. The reception will include all of the usual components, along with a few twists. Guests will mingle with the cast as they dine, dance and celebrate the nuptials of Bubba Jr. and Ima Belle.

Decision on K-25 preservation may be months away
Earlier this year, demolition crews take down section near North Tower
The Dept. of Energy is still mulling "several options" on what to do with the North Tower of the historic K-25 uranium-enrichment plant, according to chief spokesman John Shewairy.
Once DOE has completed analyses of all options, the federal agency will hold a public meeting and discuss them, Shewairy said. When will that be? Maybe October, he said, although there is no set timetable.
He indicated that DOE Manager Gerald Boyd is taking his time and will fully assess key factors -- safety, time and cost
At the time of fall meeting, DOE probably won't announce a decision but will discuss the various alternatives -- perhaps stating a preference -- and get final input from key stakeholders and other interested parties, Shewairy said.
"Gerald's committed to keeping a wide-open view," he said.
The spokesman emphasized that DOE is looking at a number of options, including some developed internally at DOE, not just those put forward by preservationists..
Oak Ridge historian Bill Wilcox, with the backing of mutliple groups in a preservation alliance, earlier this year outlined a preferred alternative that would salvage a portion of the North Tower for a museum-like facility that would give visitors a feel for the early nuclear work that took place at K-25. The alternative was scaled down from previous proposals and, according to Wilcox, wouldn't cost much more than demolishing the WWII-era structure.
