The Israeli Defense Forces
Service is compulsory for most Jewish Israelis.
From the moment of Israel's birth, the army has occupied a central role in society. In 1948, with the country in the throes of its War for Independence, the interim government ordered the establishment of one unified military that was called Tzvah Hagannah L'Yisrael--abbreviated to Tzahal--Hebrew for "Israel Defense Forces." Within months, Jewish underground movements that had fought the British Mandate were dismantled and assimilated into the new military whose job it was to fend off invading Arab armies.
A Jewish Military
During the first decades of the country's existence the IDF was lionized by the public as the embodiment of Zionist values. The first Jewish military in 2,000 years was charged with protecting a nation still reeling from the genocide of European Jewry. And the stunning success of the small motivated army while surrounded by bigger enemies gave the military the image of a mythic David against Goliath.
The army's code of ethics features a section on "purity of arms," reinforcing the image among Israelis that their army upheld humanistic universal values even under fire. This concept--called "toharat haneshek" in Hebrew--refers to a code of honor of the Israeli Defense Forces that states that arms are to be used only in defense, and even then judiciously with great care that innocent civilian lives be protected.
The army also performed (and continues to perform) in an important social role as a primary melting pot and equalizer for a country of immigrants. From the age of 18 every Israeli male and female is required to serve three and two years, respectively, of compulsory military service. That requirement brought the rural kibbutz resident together with the Tel Aviv urbanite, the modern Orthodox together with the secular, and the Sabra (native Israeli) together with the immigrant. The army was decidedly informal, with enlisted men of different ranks dispensing with the salutes and formal greetings of other militaries. This also served to reinforce the country's egalitarian spirit.
Jewish Israelis are required to serve, as are male Israelis who are Druse and Cherkessian, two non-Jewish minority groups who are faithful to the state of Israel. Male Bedouin Israelis--members of semi-nomadic tribes in the southern portion of Israel--often volunteer for the draft. Most haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Israelis are exempted from service because they are studying at yeshivot (religious academies), a point of contention between secular and religious Israelis.
The nation's Arab-Israelis are exempt from compulsory army service due to the consideration that their military service might put them into a situation where they would be forced to engage in combat with relatives from neighboring Arab armies. While most Israelis--both Jewish and Arab--remain satisfied with this status quo, some have expressed concern that Arab-Israelis' exclusion from mandatory military duty puts them at a distinct social and economic disadvantage because many Jewish-Israelis make social connections and receive training in the army that lay the foundation of their careers after the army service. Some Arab-Israelis now serve in a program similar to the one designed for Orthodox women--Sherut Leumi, or national service--that allows Arab-Israelis to contribute to their country and derive some of the benefits of army service. However, this idea has not gained much acceptance in either the Jewish or Arab sectors of Israel.

Terrible experience. I read the reviews and thought of course those with a bad experience would write about it and that it may be isolated incidence. Boy was I wrong! Here's the list of what happened: Quoted cheaper price, charged higher price; received dressed 2 weeks late in the wrong color; I was told there would be a 2 week rush for the correct color but when calling the day before I was to pick them up to ensure they had arrived, I learned they had not even started making them (if I hadn't called I would have shown up for them the next day); then I was told I wouldn't received them until an additional 3-4 weeks. No compensation offered for all their errors. Hope (bridesmaid manager) is an absolute nightmare to work with. I have left 3 messages for Andy Starr (the owner) who has yet to give the courtesy to respond. Customer service is terrible. The ONLY positive I can say is that I was treated with a friendly attitude by Ashley & Angie (I think those were their names). Save yourself the stress, go elsewhere.
Horrible Experience!! I hope I NEVER have to deal with them again. I am a bridesmaid and live 3 hours away from the store. I could have called in my measurments and had them order me a dress that would fit, but instead I drove all the way there to get measured by THEIR employees and order my dress. After getting measured and hearing the size they recommended I was hysterical. It was 3 sizes bigger than my own wedding dress and I had just lost 25 pounds. I argued with them over and over that there was no way that I needed that size dress. I told them my dress size at Davids Bridal and they very rudly said "We are NOT Davids Bridal". So, after waiting 3 months for my dress to come it, what do you know?! It is HUGE. I called and complained and after talking with multiple people, one of which was a manager named Amber who is completely rude and snotty, all they refunded was 40 dollars for the extra money I had to pay to get a "plus size" dress. When I am not plus size at all. Every time I called I got a rude person on the other end. I really hope I NEVER have to deal with them again. They were clearly ashamed of their mistake, but didnt do much to make it better. And I would like to say... At least Davids Bridal can get a measurment right!!
Wonderful Experience! – Sorry to hear that other brides had such a bad experience. I love B&F and was happy to recommend them. I went multiple times to look for a gown and each consultant was wonderful. I ended up getting 2 dresses (ceremony and reception) for the cost of 1 dress. They were wonderful about working with my budget. I always worked with the same consultant in the bridesmaids department who was so helpful and loved her. I was there so often (I'm hugely indecisive and a push over) that he expected me to show up. Once I took a break and didn't go for a few months and came back to find that she was gone, I was truly upset. I ended up going elsewhere for their dresses. Wonderful girls though. No complaints!
Terrible Bridesmaid Service! – When I first went into the store, they appeared to know what they were doing and talking about, but little did I know that would all change in 2 months. I am from out of state so all my bridesmaid would need to have their dresses shipped to them. Well there check card machine was down which is very unprofessional so they wrote all my bridesmaid information down. They not only lost some of her information but charged her the wrong amount! When I figured this out 2 months later when the dressed arrived - not only did they NOT apologize for the inconvenience but they made her pay $7 more dollars for THIER MISTAKE! The bridesmaid department is so incompetent and unprofessional. I would never recommend them to a bride because it causes more of a headache for her!
Great Selection, Poor Service – I was anxious about going into Bridal & Formal because they have so many dresses that I thought it might be overwhelming. I was right. There were people milling around everywhere and no one greeted me. I had to grab my own clipboard and fill out my information. I was then told to pick out 7 dresses and put them on the rack to try on. The dresses are organized by designer, but they are stuffed in the racks so tightly that you can't even see what they look like. They are also in plastic garment bags which makes it nearly impossible to see how the detail of the dresses. After about 30 minutes, my name was called to try on dresses. I was taken into a large room with five other brides trying on dresses. If you're shy, this isn't the place for you. They were pretty busy, but the bridal consultant who helped me try on my dresses was very helpful. However, I felt like I was being rushed through the dresses, in and out of them so quickly that I had no time to think about whether or not I like them. She pulled several other dresses that she thought I might like, but most of them were not for me. Then, she left and another consultant started helping me. When she went to pull a few more dresses, we were left in the room for at least 15 minutes. She came back with dresses that I was not even interested in. After being left for that long, I was disinterested and ready to leave. I spent probably two hours there and only found one dress that I liked. Most of the sample dresses also looked like they'd been dragged through the mud. If you're on a budget and don't mind being rushed through dresses with five other brides, give this place a try. If you are looking for a more intimate experience with better customer service, look elsewhere.
Bridal and Formal is WONDERFUL!! The bridal consultants were very patient and helpful, giving tips on styles, prices, etc. I did not feel pressured into buying a dress, and I was able to take as long as I needed until I found the perfect dress (which I DID!). My consultant, Amy, was AMAZING! There was a GREAT selection of dresses (all price ranges and designers), and Amy always found dresses that were exactly what I was looking for! All the ladies in the store worked together, and I felt like I was getting special attention
NOT Plus Size Friendly – If you are anywhere near a plus size, DO NOT waste your time going here. I am an 18/20, and called in a few weeks prior to going to see if they had plus sizes, and the price ranges because I am on a budget. The man I spoke with was very polite and had great information for me. I finally visited yesterday, and it was one of the worst experiences I have EVER had in a store. Sure, the designers offer sizes up to 30, as long as you can try on a sample size 8 to do so. Now I understand that being plus size, there aren't always sizes available to try, but nothing was over a 12. But never fear, they will force you into it so the dress won't even lay properly and then use some very flattering orange construction clamps to attach it under your armpits. Then you are paraded in front of the showroom (with webcam access no less) and told to "imagine" the fit. I have worked hard to lose over 50 pounds before dress shopping, and all this place did was ruin every bit of confidence I've earned.
I was very upfront with my consultant about what I have looked at and tried on in the past, and gave her a clear idea of my budget. Once she figured out she couldn't force me into something I didn't want (after arguing with me and my MOH because she liked a dress on me that we didn't), her attitude changed and told me I could try on one more dress if I wanted to. (I had tried 3 on at this point.) She refused to write anything down for me. There was nothing advertising a sale, but she offered the dress I liked most at a "deal" for no reason. She made a comment to another bride's mother as I was leaving the room at one point! Thankfully that mom was nice enough to come up to me and compliment me on the styles that I chose and told me I knew what was looking good on me.
The message is clear here......you are fat and poor, I don't want to deal with you.
You know what? There are plenty of other places I've been to here in Columbus that carry the same things with better service.
Ruined a wedding over $30.00 – Please read all reviews I wish we would have on this sight and others not a good place to do business very unprofessional unfriendly. When one of the bridesmaid went to pick up her dress they were very rude in telling her she owed 30 more dollars never called anyone to le them no just sprung it on her very rudely nasty and unprofessionaly manner. Did not apoligize nothing. That is also a breech of contract as her receipt said paid in full. They could have called the bride or some one to inform us of there mistake they had over 3 months, instead they waited till she came to pick it up, then was very mean and hateful I do not reccomend this place to know one, needless to say the dress was left there as they told her to return it,what ruthless thoughtless sales personnell they have they there. Please read all reviews more bad than good, in several web sites
Best Experience – I read a lot of negative reviews and was very nervous to go but I wanted to go anyway just to check it out. I was shocked at how great they were. I went on a Sunday morning when they opened and I got right it. My consultant was great and was willing to work with me because I had no idea what I wanted when I went to look. She was willing to spend lots of time with me and was able to pull together things that turned out to by my dress.
When I had second thoughts about my dress because we had to change our wedding I went back and first went to see about changing my dress but they were able to come up with a way to fix the dress I got so that it would now work for my new wedding.
My bridesmaids dresses are also from there and I have worked with both Amandas and they are wonderful. One of them knows me by name and has helped me so many times and deals with all the changes I made gladly.
I don't know why people had such bad experiences because they were amazing and I wish I was having multiple weddings so I could keep going back!
No Customer Service – I had a bad experience with Bridal & Formal on Sunday afternoon 9/5/10. I brought my daughter and one of her friends to search for Homecoming dresses in Club Dress. When we walked in the door there were three workers present and not one welcomed us or asked what we needed. I had to interupt one of them to find out where to look for the dresses. Then she pointed us where to go and ask a sales person in that area where to find the dresses. The next sales clerk acted like it was a big inconvenience to show us where to go upstairs for the dresses. There were very limited selections of dresses in a size 6. We were on the 2nd floor alone with no one to help or answer questions. When we left, not one person acknowledged us. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Check-in took several hours as no one was there. We had to call and still there was a long wait. When someone came, they gave us a room one block away at Hotel New Inn (where we ended up staying, very nice). La Casa di Rosy is conveniently close to Termini Station, but expect some major service issues.

LAS VEGAS — Back to school also means the kickoff of the "Nevada State Bank $30K Giveaway: You Vote, Schools Win" campaign. Many people use social media to stay connected, but Nevada State Bank is using it to give away $30,000 to four Nevada public schools.
After the exciting $20K Giveaway in 2011, Nevada State Bank is raising expectations for 2012 with an additional $10,000. This includes a guaranteed prize for the top voted elementary school or a fourth place winner. Catch some video highlights from last year at www.youtube.com/NevadaStateBank.
Nevada State Bank believes in the importance of education and the difference it makes in the community. The bank continually strives to volunteer and invest in the future of the state's children. Now, Nevada State Bank is asking the public to get involved and help determine which schools should share the $30,000.
The "Nevada State Bank $30K Giveaway: You Vote, Schools Win" campaign launched on Facebook Aug. 17. People are encouraged to vote for their favorite Nevada public school. Four prizes will be awarded. The first prize is $12,000, second is $8,000 and third is $5,000. The fourth place prize is $5,000 and goes to the top vote-getting elementary school if one did not place in the top three. If an elementary school places in the top three, then the fourth place prize goes to the school in fourth place overall.
"Social media has become our communication pathway with our communities, so we thought it fitting to use it for our next big outreach," said Suken Shah, vice president of online marketing for Nevada State Bank. "Supporting education has always been a top initiative for Nevada State Bank. Literacy in particular is our passion, but we know Nevada's schools need funds now more than ever. This promotional campaign not only highlights our dedication to the schools, but also enables entire communities to rally around their schools and show their own support."
The campaign runs from Aug. 17 to Oct. 12. Voters simply log into Facebook and "like" the Nevada State Bank page. Click on the voting application to access the voting page with a drop down of all Nevada public schools. People can vote once per day and voting is open to anyone with a Facebook account. Parents, teachers, relatives, booster clubs, business partners — anyone who meets Facebook requirements — can join the effort to earn their school a piece of the $30K giveaway.
Weekly video updates will be posted on the Nevada State Bank Facebook page, but rankings can change in a blink.
"Call your friends and family — send the link — tell them you need their help to make your school the winner," Shah said. "Social media is one of the fastest ways to reach out to your network — we're excited to see our schools benefit through that same technology."
The winning schools will be announced the week of Oct. 22, in honor of the Nevada Day observance.

Chiara Rosé 2012
In Stock
The Chiara Rosé from Chiarello Vineyards is back! Making a Rosé wine in red wine country took some convincing. However, Michael realized he could make an especially interesting one from the 2012 vintage, as the Chiarello estate netted a bumper crop of the highest quality.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our Chiara Rosé comes from Old Vine Zinfandel grapes. As we bleed off juice to concentrate our red wine, the by-product is terrific juice tinged with beautiful rose color, just ready for barrel-fermentation. And voila, a full-bodied Rosé of Zinfandel, rich with tropical fruits and berries. It pairs wonderfully with a wide array of foods, and it is equally as good in Summer as in early Fall (with Holiday meats). After a five-hour cold soak, we utilized some saignée (bled-off juice) as well as free-run press juice to create our first rosé in years. Partially-fermented on the skins for added character and iridescence. The 2012 Chiara Rosé has supple roundness and yet palate-refreshing acidity all at once. Salmon color. Cherries, strawberries, watermelon, gooseberries, kiwi. Serve at 45 to 49 degrees.
Vineyard Notes
Michael Chiarello, Winegrower. Amigo Bob Cantisano, Organic Viticultural Consultant. Located in St. Helena, Chiarello Vineyards estate consists of 20 acres of pre-Prohibition era vineyards, mostly dry-farmed with organic and sustainable practices. The vineyard comprises century-old Zinfandel vines on original rootstocks in loam soils.
Production Notes
Thomas Rivers Brown, Winemaker. All CFV grapes are vinified, cellared and bottled at Outpost Winery on Howell Mountain, Napa Valley. Chiara Rosé spends 8 months aging in 20% stainless steel barriques, and in 80% neutral French Oak barrels, from Taransaud, Darnajou, and Saury cooperages.

Diabetes Diagnostic Criteria May Be Off Target for RetinopathyPosted: Thursday, March 06, 2008
Retinopathy occurs at substantial rates even when glucose levels are below those that would trigger a diagnosis of pre-diabetes, according to a meta-analysis.
More than 60% of retinopathy cases were among patients with fasting plasma glucose levels below 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL), reported Tien Y. Wong, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Melbourne.
WHO and American Diabetes Association criteria for diabetes diagnosis were based on increasing rates of retinopathy beyond the glycemic threshold at 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) found in three earlier studies.
However, these studies assessed retinopathy from direct clinical ophthalmoscopic examination or a single retinal photograph rather than the gold standard in clinical trials--multiple field retinal photographs.
The meta-analysis of trials using the more reliable method "point to the need to revisit current diagnostic criteria for diabetes," the researchers wrote.
The meta-analysis offered no alternative threshold that would do the job, they noted, and there is limited evidence that further lowering the criteria would be beneficial.
"We perhaps should focus less on a single universal cut-off and instead target resources on the basis of standardized, evidence-based, individual risk scores in which measures of glycemia are combined with other risk factors," they suggested.
"But what would we tell our patients when they asked if they had diabetes?" Dr. Wong and colleagues analyzed cross-sectional data from three population-based cohorts that followed the same protocol for retinopathy grading using multiple field retinal photographs.
This included 3,162 participants from the Blue Mountains Eye Study with prospective five-year follow-up for 1,903 of these patients; 2,182 participants in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity, and Lifestyle Study; and 6,079 patients in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. The overall prevalence of retinopathy in these studies was 11.5%, 9.6%, and 15.8%, respectively. There was no consistent fasting plasma glucose threshold at which the prevalence of retinopathy increased.
In the Blue Mountains Eye Study, retinopathy prevalence was around 10% even at fasting plasma glucose concentrations below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) -- the current definition of normal -- and increased further at concentrations beyond about 6.3 mmol/L (115 mg/dL), the researchers noted.
In the Australian Diabetes study, retinopathy likewise occurred at a similar rate among patients with low fasting plasma glucose concentrations as in the overall cohort. Prevalence increased above 7.1 to 7.8 mmol/L (128 to 140 mg/dL) but for moderate retinopathy there was no suggestion of a threshold.
The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis showed the same pattern of prevalence at low fasting plasma glucose levels but there was no threshold for retinopathy overall or for moderate cases.
Putting the three studies together, 7.4% to 13.4% of participants had retinopathy at glucose levels below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL).
Earlier studies had suggested that retinopathy was uncommon, at only 2% to 4% prevalence, among patients whose fasting plasma glucose was below 5.6 (100 mg/dL).
In the combined studies, prevalence of retinopathy was 17.8% to 34.7% above the 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) cutoff for a diagnosis of diabetes.
Whereas the earlier studies suggested a sensitivity of more than 80% for the diagnostic threshold of 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL), Dr. Wong's group found a low sensitivity of only 14.8% to 39.1% for the same cutoff.
Overall, the analysis showed a more gradual increase of retinopathy prevalence with fasting plasma glucose than seen in prior studies, which strongly suggests a continuous rise without a threshold, the researchers said.
"These results of fasting plasma glucose and retinopathy are therefore consistent with observations that the relation between glucose and macrovascular complications such as cardiovascular disease is continuous with no threshold," Dr. Wong and colleagues concluded, "and is analogous to that of end-organ damage found with other cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels."
Practice Pearls:
Note that the study showed no threshold that would reliably identify patients at risk of retinopathy based on fasting plasma glucose.

Theater Arts
The Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts at St. Edward's prepares you to take the stage — or work behind it — with rigorous training and experience in a professional setting. Pursue your creative calling, whether you dream of the lights on Broadway or want to cultivate and manage a small community theater.
St. Edward's University has one of the few undergraduate Theater Arts programs in the country to partner with the Actors' Equity Association. This means you'll work alongside successful film, stage and television guest artists — and in close collaboration with your professors and other students. Not only will you learn from the pros, you'll also have the chance to earn points toward your Actors' Equity membership.
Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts
As a BA in Theater Arts major, you'll actively participate in all aspects of theater — including acting, writing, designing and directing — through hands-on application, both in the classroom and in production. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to be a vital part of a theater team, no matter what your primary area of interest may be. Starting your freshman year, you may audition for productions at the Mary Moody Northen Theatre and the annual 10-Minute Play Festival. And you'll have the chance to specialize in an area that interests you.
With the skills and contacts you cultivate in this demanding BA in Theater Arts program, you'll be prepared to enter a successful career in theater — whether you want to be an actor, a director, a producer, a makeup or costume artist, a theater technician, a lighting or scene designer, or a stage manager. And you'll be prepared to pursue an advanced degree in theater training.
Graduates from the BA in Theater Arts program have gone on to direct and produce feature films, teach cinema and theater arts at the university level, star in nationally syndicated television shows, and found their own theaters.
Course Preview:
In addition to the general education courses required of all majors, and elective courses, BA in Theater Arts majors take courses from these groups:
All students who major in theater arts complete core courses, which include Theater Skills, Performance, Design for Performance, Theater Practicum, Theater History, Play Analysis and Theater Management.
BA in Theater Arts majors complete supporting courses, which could include upper-level performance courses, Musical Theater, Directing, Stage Lighting, Costume Design, Voice for Performance, Movement, Breath and Yoga, Principles of Marketing, or more, depending on a student's chosen specialization.
Students can choose one of three specializations: general theater, theater design/technology, or theater/stage management.
BA in Theater Arts majors complete a senior project in their area of specialization. In acting, students create and perform a solo performance thesis project, exhibiting a comprehensive understanding of the process of acting and its application. In scenic, costume, make-up and stage lighting design, students present a public exhibit for portfolio review in the lobby of the Mary Moody Northen Theatre. Design students may also have the opportunity to design during the main season. Stage management and acting students have the opportunity to accrue Equity Membership Candidate points, leading toward potential union membership in Actors' Equity Association.

GDB22: Another Matinee
November 28 2008 10:37PM
What could be more exciting than a matinee game against the St. Louis Blues? How about an Oilers team that could very well lose the game?
We don't know what to make of this squadron. What happened to the team that was going to come in first in the Northwest? What happened to the team MacT basically told "don't be too confident lads. Take 'er as she comes" a few short months ago? The Oil got 99 problems and over confidence ain't one.
What happened to the team that made us buy Oilers Pyjamas and A Dustin Penner Snuggle Bug Teddy Bear? (trademark pending)
The only thing more exciting this game is, well pretty much everything. So of course we will be watching.
Damn you Oilers. You had better win.
Nilsson won't understand. He speaks Swenadian.
Good thing they are showing us the scores of all the rest of the games. That really helped.
NIlsson will just be happy not to have to see Steves sagy old balls in the shower every day
jesus christ that's not good. hope he's gonna be ok...
Oh good. One of our best defensemen has concussion written all over him. Great news.
Backes needs to get caved in.
Mr. Phillips is fed up with the team, it's really funny...in a stiletto to the nut sack kinda way.
When the hell is Smac going to run out from the dressing room with a steel chair and start attacking the entire St. Louis team, setting up a championship match between him and Cam Jansen?
Someone kill that bastard. Not Zach, someone that will actually hit him
He's done for a while.
K OILERS ralley the troops and f*#k this guy up!
Fiveandagame did you watch sin cities last night too? That was the most insane thing I've ever seen.
Man refs hate zack
time for the Cpt. to step up.
So then they send our tough guy off the ice for 10mins....F*#K
So Stortini tried to fight that guy and he gets a ten.... 42 tries to fight Horcoff and gets nothing and Woywitka comes in after Staios and gets nothing....
Dear Sportsnet...just a suggestion, but instead of saying "even strength" just below the score clock...could you plz change it to "4 on 4" ...
Hey. A Goal. Hooray.
NICE, who needs gags. That was sweet
Greasy move by Nilsson.
BM - not so much with the sin cities but sounds like I should have tuned in. Afterall I must be a masochist to sit in my hotel room listening to this piece of Lupul team.
Apparently the Hockey Gods only required a sacrifice of one of our Best D-men.
Watch out Souray
hey...we got a goal.....really? .....really????
greasy move
Ok...PP ... LETS DOOOOO THIS!!!
4 on 3 PP, scary.
yay a power play....
Even when that line scores Gagner will find a way to avoid the score sheet.
We just need a fricken face off win!
YA! More slashing penalties!!! See, Moreau is leading by example.
If dude dives face first at the biscuit he deserves a stick in the chops
souray isn't having a very good game.
w00t w00t!
he isn't?
nice. JW's theory works!
Reverse psycology freeze? You called it?
One of these days Souray is going to put a puck through the boards. Eff me...
another pp, COME ON TIE THIS GAME UP!
Souray for mayor.
I hate this delay that I am living with.....

I love writing, but only fiction. I hate writing essays. I luff (love) to write poetry, too! I get real moody sometimes, so I write poetry! I would love to give you a sample right here, but this is FANFICTION, not poetry.
One of my teachers told me I should probably have the name 'Dame Fuzzalot' or 'Lady Fuzzalot' because I'm a girl, but phooey, what the hay. Sir Fuzzalot sounds a LOT better, and it makes me sound kinda coolio and unafraid, courageous, confident or whatever. 'Lady Fuzzalot' makes me sound dainty, feminine, elegant. Which would you prefer, courageous, confident; or dainty and feminine? Honestly,
there's no competition.
Aspires to become an author, don't be surprised if you hear the name 'L. Catherine' in the next decade, that's me. That's not really
my real name, mind you. i would put up my real name so you might notice it when i publish my own novel, but i fell kinda uneasy putting up my real name.
I live in the great state of Texas!
Fred and George are my favorite characters, closely followed by Ginny and Ron. Just gotta love them Weasleys!
I'm a new fanfic writer, but i promise you, i'm currently writing reeaaaallllyyy good stories!

Comments about Rawlings 2013 Plasma -3 Adult Baseball Bat (BBCOR):
The bat has great balance which allows good transfer of energy through the hitting zone. Have used more expensive bats with minimal results, this bat has produced 4 hr, 23 doubles and an average of 570 throughout the summer league & travel ball. I'm 6' 4" and getting the bat into the zone means everything to great contact, this bat makes it easy.

Baseball Bat Sizing Chart
Bat sizing charts:
Softball Bat Sizing
To find the correct bat length for your softball-playing daughter, have her stand straight up with her arms to the side. Place a ruler to her side with the start of the ruler (the "0" mark) on the ground. Read the measurement at the end of her wrist, just where the hand meets the forearm. As a general rule, this measurement indicates the perfect bat length for her.
Another sizing method for Baseball and Softball
Another great means for determining bat size is what we'll call the wingspan method. Have your son or daughter stand up tall with their arms straight out (arms should be parallel to the ground as if they were trying to mimic an airplane). Measure from the very center of their chest out to the tip of their fingers. That measurement will give you the ideal bat length.
It's always best to try to size using a variety of methods to come up with their ideal. For youth which are still growing, we recommend that you go with the longest length obtained through the various sizing methods. We often use the break of the wrist method (described in the softball bat sizing above) along with this method and use the longer of the two.

Downtown Brno Full of Greenery and Relaxation with Kingswood Cider
24 July 2013
7.23.2013, Brno/Czech Republic – During the week of July 22 to 26, 2013, The Freedom Square in Brno will literally become an oasis of serenity and harmony. Visitors to this unusual place, full of greenery, will have a chance to taste recently introduced Kingswood cider created according to British tradition. The aim of this project is to drive attention to the absence of green places in cities and to initiate mutual cooperation during their restoration.
The square, at other times full of dust and concrete, will transform into a magical world of relaxation during the last week of July. The area full of trees and benches spread throughout the green lawn will be open to visitors every day from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. French chanson singer Eric Tarantol will put the finishing touch on the pleasant atmosphere.
"During the birth of Kingswood, we hope people will see it as a pleasant place where they can enjoy a nice time with friends and acquaintances, and each moment belonging only to them. It should be a place that is uniquely unforgettable," said Marek Dvořák, marketing manager of Kingswood brand, adding: "There are fewer and fewer places in cities where people can relax surrounded by green trees and absorb their energy. We would like to pinpoint this problem and together with our consumers contribute to the improvement of this situation."
Kingswood Cider represents the perfect harmony of sweet and dry flavours. It is mixed from carefully picked apples grown exclusively in orchards. It does not contain any artificial sweeteners, colourings, or aromas. It is best served over ice, in special glasses inspired by British tradition, in a very specific way that accentuates its unique aroma and taste. To ensure its perfect serving style, the distribution will be conducted gradually. These days, it is offered in several restaurants in Prague and Brno where serving is being carefully monitored. The list will be gradually updated at www.kingswood.cz.
What is Cider?
Cider is a refreshing, slightly alcoholic drink made by the controlled fermentation of apple juice. It is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world. Only special kinds of apples are selected for the juice extraction used in fermentation. The proper selection and the correct method of mixing ensure the unique taste of the cider.

Senior Scientist - Kansas Biological Survey
Contact Information
Recent Blog Posts
Recent Publications
My research documents the diversity and distribution of plants in the grasslands of central North America, seeks explanations for those patterns, and examines related conservation issues. Studies involve assessing plant population and plant community occurrences, gathering baseline floristic data to characterize natural and developed landscapes, and developing conservation-oriented land management strategies. In parallel, I do descriptive, alpha-level, collection- and specimen-based taxonomic research that derives in part from my ecological and floristic studies. Specimens derived from my survey and inventory work come primarily from the central and western U.S. and are deposited mostly in the R.L. McGregor Herbarium (KANU). Field observations for rare and declining species and plant communities are captured in legacy data sets maintained by the Biodiversity Institute and Kansas Biological Survey at the University of Kansas.
When the cold winds of November tug the last leaves from the maples, basswoods, and elms, orchids probably are the farthest thing from most Kansans' minds. However, fall, winter, and early spring are the best seasons to search for one of the state's more secretive plants – the puttyroot orchid or Adam-and-Eve [Aplectrum hyemale (Muhl. ex Willd.) Nutt.]. The plant's specific epithet "hyemale", referring to winter, alludes to the plant's habit of producing a winter leaf. The name puttyroot is a reference to sticky substance released from the crushed tubers, which usually occur in pairs (hence the name Adam-and-Eve).
Puttyroot has evolved a fascinating strategy to survive in the low-light environments of rich, deciduous forests. As forest canopies develop in the spring, light limits the ability of understory plants to photosynthesize. Consequently, many herbaceous species flower and fruit in the spring, before the canopy fills in, or in the fall, when the canopy begins to thin. Puttyroot takes this strategy to an extreme. Each plant produces a single, elliptic, dark green, pleated, 3-6 inch-long leaf in the fall. The ground-hugging leaf remains green and photosythetic from fall through winter and into spring, producing sugars needed by the plant to grow. From late May into mid June, some plants will produce a single, 10-20 inch-tall flowering, each bearing a dozen whitish purple or brownish white flowers near the tip. Ribbed, pendent fruits – each about 1 inch long – mature through the summer and persist into the fall, leaving another clue to the plant's presence.
Populations of puttyroot are documented in 10 eastern Kansas counties (Anderson, Coffey, Crawford, Douglas, Franklin, Johnson, Leavenworth, Linn, Miami, and Wyandotte). Most occur in moist, maple-basswood forests or cottonwood-dominated floodplain forests along rivers and streams. Populations generally comprise a few, closely-spaced individuals, but large populations can contain several hundred plants.
The next time you head out to your favorite forest trail for a fall or winter walk, keep an eye to the ground. If you are lucky, you may spy the distinctive leaves of this forest gem. If you do find this rare Kansas orchid, plan a return visit to marvel at its amazing flowers and fruits in the dim light of the forest floor.

With a key player sitting on the bench, Southeast Whitfield High School's volleyball team played one of its most complete games of the season Thursday, beating visiting Gilmer 25-11, 25-17 in the opening round of the Area 7-4A tournament.
The fact that the Lady Bobcats never posed much of a threat has the Lady Raiders thinking big for the rest of the tournament, which will resume — and finish — Saturday at Heritage-Catoosa High School.
Southeast, the tournament's No. 2 seed, will play at 10:15 a.m. in the winner's bracket semifinals against LaFayette. A win against the third-seeded Ramblers — a first-round winner over sixth-seeded Dalton on Thursday — will guarantee the Lady Raiders a spot in the Class 4A state tournament.
In the Area 7-4A tournament's other first-round matches on Thursday, No. 4 seed Northwest Whitfield beat fifth-seeded Ridgeland in three sets and No. 1 Heritage moved past No. 8 Pickens.
Southeast (27-10) played without injured starter Yasmeen Paloblanco, a defensive specialist, in its win over the Lady Bobcats. Paloblanco was kicked in the head during a match last week, and she is to be re-evaluated by a doctor today. Lady Raiders coach Bethany Kenemer didn't know if Paloblanco would be available for Saturday's competition.
Senior middle hitter Wendy Perez said the Lady Raiders knew they would have to adjust for Paloblanco's absence.
"I think part of the reason we looked so sharp today was that we knew with Yasmeen out we had to pick it up," Perez said.
"I think we are going to keep getting better as we play deeper and deeper into the postseason," she said. "I think we can have a good tournament this weekend."
Southeast is shooting for its third straight area title, and the Lady Raiders looked prime for a trip back to the championship against over-matched Gilmer (12-19), leading 24-8 at one point in the first game and taking control of the second game with a 6-0 run to stretch the lead to 13-7. The Lady Bobcats narrowed that gap to three points, but the Lady Raiders again went on another 6-0 run to pull away.
Southeast's Angie Purkey finished with 20 assists, while Perez had 13 kills to lead the way at the net. Gaby Gonzalez and Serena Ramsey had five and three kills, respectively, while Yolanda Melgarejo finished with four aces. Defensively, Melisa Fraire had 11 digs.
"This is a good starting point for the tournament," Kenemer said. "We had to change our rotation a little bit, but it was still clicking."
n Northwest needed three sets to do it, but the Lady Bruins advanced with a 20-25, 25-19, 26-24 win over the Lady Panthers in Tunnel Hill.
Mary Kate Allen led the way with seven kills, four aces and three blocks, Peyton Maret had six kills and three aces, and Whitley Brooker chipped in 12 assists and an ace. Northwest will face Heritage at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday in the winner's bracket semifinals.
n Dalton lost 25-22, 26-24 at LaFayette and will play Gilmer at 9 a.m. in the loser's bracket of the double-elimination tournament.
Alejandra Fraire led the Lady Cats (6-25) with 12 kills, while Ashleigh Peters added four and Macie Noles led the team in assists.
• In the Area 4-3A tournament at North Murray, Coahulla Creek got off to a good start with a 25-22, 25-19 win over Adairsville, while the host Lady Mountaineers also won, beating Ringgold 25-23, 25-20.
Macey Fossett led Coahulla Creek (11-25) with 14 assists, two digs, two kills and an ace, Nikki Ross had eight kills and a pair of blocks, and Gabrielle Henderson added six kills. The Lady Colts, the No. 5 seed in the tournament, lost twice to Adairsville during the season. They advance to face top-seeded Sonoraville — a winner over Cartersville on Thursday — at 10 a.m. Saturday at North Murray, with the winner assured of a spot in the Class 3A state tournament.
Second-seeded North Murray will face third-seeded Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe in the other winners' bracket semifinal at the same time Saturday. No individual statistics were available from North Murray's win against Ringgold.
Ringgold beat Fannin County in an elimination contest and will face a winners' bracket loser at 11 a.m. Cartersville eliminated Adairsville and will play at 11 a.m. as well in the double-elimination event.
• Murray County lost 25-11, 25-15 at Calhoun in the first round of the Area 5-2A tournament. The Lady Indians (3-21) will play in an elimination match at 9 a.m. Saturday, taking on Pepperell at Model.
Heidy Cabral finished with seven assists and Greta Lazzarrotto added two aces for seventh-seeded Murray County against the No. 2 seed Lady Yellow Jackets.
• Christian Heritage lost 25-15, 15-25, 25-19 to Darlington in the Area 4-A tournament at Walker School in Marietta.
The Lady Lions (20-10) will be the No. 4 seed for the Class A state tournament, which begins next Thursday.
Jessica Seehorn had 24 assists, nine digs, five aces and five kills to lead Christian Heritage, while Savannah Roberson added 12 kills and eight digs, and Brenna Mugge finished with 12 digs.

Prep roundup: Southeast volleyball cruises in first round

Prep Roundup: Unbeaten streak rolls on for Cats
Replicating the start of last year's Class 4A state title match, Dalton High School's boys soccer team needed just four minutes to score its first goal at Southeast Whitfield on Friday.
The Catamounts scored five more — and again defended their crown of dominance in the sport.
Prep Baseball Roundup: Raiders out of hunt for the playoffs
Needing a win to keep Southeast Whitfield High School's baseball season meaningful, Raiders coach Brad Lofton turned to a pair of senior pitchers on Friday at Heritage-Catoosa.
The seniors didn't disappoint, but it was the offense and the defense that couldn't come through.
Prep Roundup: Bruins power past Cats for key victory at home
TUNNEL HILL — Similar to Wednesday's Sub-region 7B-4A baseball series opener at Dalton High School, Northwest Whitfield fell behind early Thursday versus the Catamounts.
Prep Roundup: Dalton golf teams in form at Fields Ferry
Even in wet and muddy conditions, both the Dalton High School boys and girls golf teams are sharpening their games at the right time.
With the Region 7-4A tournament scheduled in two weeks, both the Catamounts and the Lady Cats finished second during play at the Fields Ferry Invitational in Calhoun on Monday. Despite the soggy conditions, Dalton's Jacob Brown tied for medalist honors with a 2-over par 74 to lead the Cats to a 313 combined score in the six-play, four-score format. Dalton finished three strokes behind tournament winner LaFayette.
All-Area Wrestling Team and Wrestler of the Year: Winning another title was the only goal for Wheeler
When Dalton High School wrestler Sidney Wheeler won a state title for the first time two years ago as a sophomore, he admitted he became a little complacent about what it would take to replicate the feat — perhaps not noticeably so to most observers, but enough to take success for granted. Wheeler believed it a matter of course that he would win state again, and he thought the second title would simply be the middle child in a high school three-peat.
Prep Roundup: N. Murray's offense shut down by Canes
North Murray High School's baseball team may not be among the group tied for first place in Region 5-3A, but the Mountain-eers are sitting fairly comfortably in fourth place.
If the regular season ended today, that would still put North Murray in the state playoffs for the first time.
Prep softball: N. Murray's Silvers heads to Covenant
In just about every part of the recruiting process, Covenant College did a little extra to show its interest in Sarah Silvers.
It spoke volumes to the North Murray High School softball player.
Prep soccer: Morris boys earn Class 2A ranking
It's nothing new for a local high school boys soccer team to be among those in the eurosportscoreboard.com state rankings.
It is new for that team to be Morris Innovative.
Prep roundup: SE offense keeps foot on throttle
As long as Southeast Whitfield High School's baseball team continues to hit the ball and score runs the way it has so far this season, it really won't matter what the defense does.
Coach Brad Lofton still likes how the Raiders' fielding is improving.
Prep Roundup: A little bit of momentum
Neither Dalton High School baseball coach Shane Ramsey nor North Murray coach David Redmond has had much reason to complain about their offensive production this season.
Defense is another matter.

The Office of Healthy Schools focuses on improving the academic achievement and health of school age children and youth, school faculty, staff and communities by providing training, technical assistance and resources for schools to become health promoting environments and improve academic success of their students. Healthy schools provide prevention programs, services and an environment that promotes healthy behaviors and helps students and school personnel reduce and avoid those key risk behaviors that lead to chronic and acute diseases, infections, disabilities and injuries. We strive to ensure that school health issues are addressed across all program areas within the agency and encourage strong involvement of the community and local businesses in partnerships to improve adolescent and school health. Our efforts support the Centers for Disease Control's eight-component model of Coordinated School Health Programming.
Addressing the health and risk behaviors of school children will ultimately improve the health status of the citizens of South Carolina. In healthy schools, our children and youth can learn strategies to improve self-esteem, avoid poor health and behavioral choices, and adopt healthy lifestyles with the hope of preventing academic failure, poor health outcomes and chronic diseases. Children who begin their day as a healthy individual learn more effectively and are more likely to complete their formal education than those children who don't have healthy lifestyles.

By Appointment
Dear Patients, Friends and Colleagues:Sight is often taken for granted when we enjoy a good book, or when we admire a beautiful work of art. Unfortunately when vision is lost, the impact on our daily functioning can be very significant. Our team of physicians and scientists at the Edward Harkness Eye Institute is dedicated to understanding the causes of vision disorders, to preventing them, and to treating them should they occur. Our doctors and staff provide the best medical and surgical eye care available, with compassion and sensitivity to their patients' needs. There has also been a tradition of excellence in research that has brought new methods of treating eye diseases. Our faculties have been pioneers in the development of lasers, modern retinal surgery techniques and glaucoma drugs. We continue to seek new and better methods of preventing vision loss and all eye disorders. Our surgical suites are modern and staffed by seasoned nurses and anesthetists to ensure the best possible outcome after surgery.An additional mission is to train the next generation of eye physicians (ophthalmologists) who will provide excellent care, and lead in their field. Doctors from all over the world are trained in new techniques and learn the skills of caring for each individual ophthalmic patient. We are extremely proud of our residency graduates for their outstanding clinical skills and personal qualities as physicians. Maintaining high standards of excellence in clinical care and research also requires financial support. The generosity of our patients and friends continues to provide valuable support for our programs of research and education. We are most grateful to all those who have so generously given and thus made a commitment to continuing improvements and treatments in the field of eye care.Sincerely,Stanley Chang, MD, ChairmanDepartment of OphthalmologyEdward S.
