Looking for something informative and entertaining to do during upcoming Third Thursdays? Try taking a field trip back in time at the Summerville Dorchester Museum.
The museum will be presenting several programs throughout the year as part of downtown Summervilles Third Thursday events, according to Rev. John Scott, a volunteer.
More than 100 people attended the most recent program, held June 19, during which Richard Martin, dressed in the costume of a Lowcountry citizen soldier, presented a narrative of the colonial rice culture and its unique contribution to the economic and political development of this area, Scott said. Explaining how the natural ecology of the Carolina Lowcountry was uniquely favorable to cultivation of rice, Martin traced the migration of the rice plants from West Africa to the West Indies to the Carolina Lowcountry and showed how it came to be embraced by the British and French Huguenot Plantation owners to transform Charleston into one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful of the Colonies.
However with this Lowcountry manner of tidal agriculture and its surrounding swamp areas also came a very deadly disease that claimed the lives of many men, women, and children from every plantation family.
Scott, dressed as The Rev. Philip Gadsden, talked about how in 1827 Gadsden began accompanying many of his parish families from the original St. Pauls Parish on the Stono River to spend the summer months in the high and dry pine villages to escape the deadly Lowcountry disease. Ultimately, it was discovered that those who left the swampy areas during the heat of the summer to seek refuge in the higher and drier elevations under the shady canopies of the tall pines, avoided contracting the deadly Miasma diseases. Soon this became a seasonal migration practice with the plantations and many pine villages, such as Pinopolis, Pineville, Eutawville -- eutaw being a Cherokee word for pine tree -- Summerton, and Summerville came into existence.
The two presentations were accompanied with a musical rendition of 18th century melodies played on the harpsichord by Annette Martin, wife of the Citizen Soldier and Organist of St. Pauls Church.
The program also included an array of 18th century foods, including Rice and Chicken Perlo, Hard Tack, Saltwater Taffy, Sarsaparilla, and Muscadine Wine Spritzer.
In July the museum will offer a similar historical presentation including music, costumes and foods of the period. The July presenter will be Rollins Edwards.
Edwards is well known to most of the people of Summerville as a spell-binding story teller.
The museum is located at 200 East Doty Avenue in downtown Summerville. For more information call 875-9666, visit the website at www.summervilledorchestermuseum.org or visit the museums Facebook page.

The Buffalo Sabres are supposed to lose now. That's the point of trading key guys and starting a rebuild. The more they lose, the better their draft position, the better the prospect they get.
That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.
"That's what people think," defenseman Andrej Sekera said Saturday. "We think differently."
That has become obvious. The Sabres have won two straight games since they began shipping out veterans. They're eager to make it three in a row tonight when they host New Jersey.
"Our main focus is still to win," forward Nathan Gerbe said in First Niagara Center. "Obviously, we're not cashing in this season. We're within reach of playoffs. We know that as a group, and we have guys here that can get it done.
"The organization itself wants to turn around. It doesn't mean we can't win. It doesn't mean they don't want us to win. Teams aren't going to take us lightly because we're turning things around. We've still got guys in here that want to win and obviously make playoffs."
The postseason remains a long shot, but the Sabres are far from eliminated. They are in 12th place, six points behind the eighth-place New York Islanders with one fewer game played.
The Isles were on pace for 51 points. At that rate, the Sabres would need to earn 16 of a possible 20 points in their final 10 games to pass them.
"No one in here is going to quit and not keep driving to the playoffs until you're mathematically out," forward Luke Adam said. "There's no quit in this locker room."
Instead, what the Sabres have in their dressing room is a bunch of players making the most of new opportunities.
The Sabres traded captain Jason Pominville and defensemen Jordan Leopold and Robyn Regehr heading into Wednesday's trade deadline. Their departures opened top-line and first-pair minutes for players.
During the Sabres' last two wins, exactly half of the offense was supplied by players who weren't in Buffalo at the start of the season. Forwards Kevin Porter, Brian Flynn and Adam joined defensemen Adam Pardy and Mark Pysyk in recording four goals and seven assists to key victories over Pittsburgh and Ottawa.
"Once we made the trades, it opened up opportunities," interim coach Ron Rolston said. "That's what we have to be as a team. Everyone's going to have to chip in one way or the other. They're also guys that are going to have to make big defensive plays. We need complete players right now, and we need players that can chip in. We saw that."
The victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday was perhaps the Sabres' most complete game. They overcame a shaky second period Friday to beat Ottawa. They scored three times in the third after the Senators took a 2-1 lead.
"Everybody knows what we need to do, and we're trying," Sekera said. "We just have to do it with the guys we have now, and I guess so far it's working."
It is indeed – except for the folks who assumed the club would nose-dive toward last place and the top overall draft pick.
"I don't see it that way," Gerbe said. "Those people are obviously negative. I like to see the positive side of things.
"It's a big game for this group just to keep the momentum going. In the past in the season, we would lose this game. Now we've got to win it."

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Time flies through the centuries. It's time for a surprise party for one of ancient Europe's most famous sons. (Don't let the Count see this). Countess Dracula is inviting friends to travel to Vlad, Count Dracula's house.
After the reception, guests will be ushered into the dining hall where Count Dracula makes his grand entrance prior to the evening's authentic Bavarian dinner.
Guests of Count & Countess Dracula will meet historical European dignitaries such as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and King Rupert and Queen Antonia, plus their staff of characters and performers. A few of the guests may be smitten with and bitten by a vampire during the show, and their conversion will be entertaining. Headlining the show is belly dancing troupe, Amerabic Magic, which will perform four sets with exotic costume changes.

Countess and Count Dracula, left to right, Katherine and Philip Ryan, with dinner guest Countess Isabella, portrayed by Tricia Lynn Strader.
Count Dracula's friends will present him with a series of Gothic gag gifts, interspersed with entertainment featuring singers, musicians and dancers. The belly dancers will encourage party guests into a participatory dance routine.
Writer/director/actor (Countess Dracula) Katherine Walsh Ryan said the year is approximately 1930-500 years after the birth of Vlad Tepes, Prince of Wallachia, in the medieval town of Sighisoara, Romania.
Ryan said, "The Transylvanian-born ruler hails from the same town as my mother and relatives. A visit there to start filming a documentary was my inspiration for creating Dinner with Dracula & Vampire's Ball in 2006."
The Count was created by Irish author Bram Stoker. He patterned his charismatic and mysterious literary Count after the real Prince of Wallachia, who was known for his extreme law-and-order style of ruling.
He likely learned from the Turkish ruler of The Ottoman Empire, Mehmed II, when he and his brother, Radu the Handsome, were held as political pawns during the 15th century. While there, he learned his signature practice of placing law breakers' heads on stakes, to serve as an example to others entering his principality. This practice earned him the name of Vlad the Impaler.
Ryan, who wears many tiaras as President/Founder of Ryan Film Institute, said this is the 8th annual fundraiser, and it is essential to provide funding for student scholarships for the Teen Filmmakers' Workshop.
"We like to have fun and convey fun when we're doing fundraising," she said. "It takes a big commitment and people to support youth programs such as this."
This year, Ryan Film Institute provided more than $2,500 in scholarships to Eastern Panhandle students. Ryan and her all-volunteer team of industry experts enjoy teaching and encouraging the next generation of photographers and filmmakers in their creative and vocational pursuits.
She said, "I pray every day for individual and corporate angels who want to support our arts program that serves students in Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties. We want to produce more films, and train more students to start as production assistants in local productions, so they are prepared when out of state film features and TV series productions come to the Eastern Panhandle, looking for production assistants. We encourage them to move onto formal university training and good jobs in the industry."
Digital photography and filmmaking equipment is very expensive - high definition digital video cameras are each more than $3,000, made possible from proceeds of this annual fundraiser. There is a critical need for more computer equipment - MacBook Pros with film editing software - to provide hands-on editing options for each student. Ryan's goal is to have a computer editing suite of at least 10-20 MacBook Pros with editing software.
Some Ryan Film Institute students have won film fest awards, submitted workshop projects to gain entry to the film schools of their choice, pursued college filmmaking degrees or are now working full-time in the industry. Ryan has garnered West Virginia Film Office scholarship support, and Shepherd University provides classroom facilities for workshops.

Giveaways is a stat for bad passes
Give me the stats for bad passes or being out of position. Look, I'm not dumping on the guy. By all account he looks to be the real deal but c'mon, let's not prematurely give him the Calder already and anoint him as the next Red Wing legend. Tone down the expectations before we become disappointed if he doesn't live up to them. Kindl was a pretty highly thought of prospect, obviously not as high as Smith, but many would be fine if he were run out of town because he didn't live up to his limited amount of hype.
I fail to see how watching objectively makes me deluded. But as Walter said to The Dude, "I'm calmer than you are"
Great movie by the way

Legal action is being taken against the unconstitutional bailouts of Irish banks that transferred private bankster debts onto the taxpayer.
On Tuesday 27th March Ben Gilroy, John Squires and 'People for Economic Justice' served a summons on the Irish government to answer charges of illegal activity over the bank bailout.
The bailout is illegal under Bunreacht Na hEireann, the Irish Constitution. It is also illegal under international law. An injunction was applied for to prevent the payment of a 3.1 billion euro Anglo bond due to be paid this Saturday 31st March 2012.
The judge has given two weeks for the State to respond.
Please support Ben and John and People for Economic Justice in any way you can. The economic situation in Ireland has been caused by illegal activity. Those responsible must be held responsible, and the payments must be stopped. Fine Gael were elected on the promise of stopping this madness but have not done so.

|Cake Decorating
Closed Captioned
Meet Erin and learn how you'll use stamps in this class.
Use celery, apples, marshmallows and other foods to stamp a beautiful floral motif and create the Garden Party Cake.
Make stamps from shape cutters and modify existing stamps to create the wispy and whimsical Lighter Than Air Cake.
Make a chevron stamp and a lovely sugar flower to decorate the posh Effortless Chevron Cake.
Create the pleated, fabric-inspired Dressy Dahlia Cake with a stamp made from candy melts.
"Erin is a fantastic instructor. This class was as enjoyable to watch as it was instructional. What I particularly love about Erin's class is that I learned 5 specific (and food safe!) techniques to design my own stamps and cakes. I can envision myself applying these techniques to a wide variety of cakes, and maybe even cookies. I think I'm sometimes an anomaly in the cake decorating world, because I really only feel comfortable using food-safe items on my cakes (whereas some others are a bit more lenient and will go non-toxic, but not necessarily food-safe). I really loved that every solution Erin presented is food-safe, but still incredibly creative and beautiful. Thanks for a great class!"

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The potential sale of the Veterans Hall Building overlooking downtown Truckee has been put on hold until additional review and analysis can be completed.The Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District board of directors voted at a special meeting Tuesday night to table the matter after hearing public testimony mostly in favor of expanding the building's uses, while keeping the Veterans Hall open to the public."When the rec. district bought this building or this property for $1 (in 1994), they were looking for additional recreation space," said Truckee resident Ruth Jackson Hall. "They actually inherited more than a recreational space. This building just has a lot of value and significance for so many people."A suggestion that gained traction with the nearly 100-member audience was returning property ownership to the Washoe Tribe, an idea first proposed at last Thursday's regular TDRPD board meeting."We're a group of Washoe who wish to return to this region," said Lydell Wyatt, a member of the Wel Mel Ti Council, a northern branch of the Washoe Tribe, Tuesday night. "... With this building, I think it's possible for our first step to return. With that said, we would like to also archive our history, perhaps in this building."Maybe we can fill that void that Truckee's history has been waiting for."Truckee resident Michael Rogers, adviser to the Wel Mel Ti Council, advocated for returning the site to its prior inhabitants."The Wel Mel Ti are the missing part of Truckee's heart," he said. "They were here for over 10,000 years in this spot. ... I believe it can be for us to return this to them."Other community suggestions for the facility included turning it into a museum, making it into a creative hub and keeping it for future recreational need - along with Tahoe Forest Church's original request to occupy it.According to the district, the church notified the TDRPD of its interest in renting the Veterans Hall in November 2011, but after learning that parking improvements costing approximately $150,000 to $200,000 are needed as part of obtaining a conditional use permit, members approached the district in July 2012 with the idea of purchasing the facility."There's been a lot of concern tonight and a lot people voicing their opinion that if this sale takes place, it's over, or you're going to lose an asset or the public can no longer use this building - nothing could be further from the truth," Tahoe Forest Church member Jason LaChance said Tuesday. "This church has always had an open door policy, no matter what, and they will always have that policy."Several community members urged that the board hold off on selling the facility - which is accruing an annual loss of about $20,000 and seeing a steady decline in users since 2009, according to TDRPD - until a community group can be formed to look at all options and make suggestions to the district."It's obvious to me that hindsight is always better than foresight, that probably the idea of selling this and having cash in hand, as I said, was probably a little hasty," said board director Peter Werbel. "... It's obvious to me tonight that that there are many potential uses for this building, there's a lot of emotion, a lot of history."Some directors stated that more time is needed to do additional research and gather public input in order to make a final decision."Please be here for the long haul," urged director Janet Brady. "Don't just be here for the immediate meeting because we need a solution that continues to keep our community health and vibrant, and Truckee a great place to live."

Spending Money in all the Wrong Places
In conjunction with the Campaign for the Mind of America, the NAMI Policy Research Institute has created six fact sheets dedicated to pressing social issues. These fact sheets illustrate the enormous financial impact of these issues and the role of mental illness in compounding their economic and social impact. The fact sheets aim to encourage legislators to support solutions that assist people with mental illnesses and decrease the overall economic burden of these social problems.
Specifically, the fact sheets address homelessness, unemployment, school failure, overcrowding in jails and prisons, overcrowding in emergency departments, and the uninsured problem. Many state and federal legislators are not aware that by merely providing effective programs that help mentally ill people access care and social services, long-term success will be achieved by successfully chipping away at these looming social problems plaguing the nation.
A follow-up series to these fact sheets is in the early stages of creation and will be posted upon completion. The new fact sheets will highlight laws and programs that aid in alleviating these social issues and will also illustrate the overall results of their implementation.
For more information about the fact sheets, please contact Elise Resnick, Policy Program Manager, or Joel Miller, Acting Director, NAMI Policy Research Institute at 703-524-7600.

The Pros of Regional Legal Writing Conferences
Judith M. Stinson
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Spring 2004
AALS Section on Legal Writing, Reasoning, and Research Newsletter, Vol. 5, Spring 2004
Regional legal writing conferences have increased in popularity in recent years, and with good reason. First, they are relatively easy to host; they can be coordinated in just a few months, and they last only a day or two. Second, they provide numerous benefits to the participants, to their institutions, and to the profession. Benefits to attendees include hearing from nationally known experts, having a low cost educational opportunity, creating presentation opportunities for faculty teaching legal method, and networking. The host law school also benefits from the increased exposure of its program and personnel. Most significantly, regional legal writing conferences benefit the profession by creating a forum for the exchange of ideas related to teaching, scholarship, and service.

We have the smoking hot Sheena for you this week. This hottie has a super tight body with all the right curves to go with it. We caught her as she was going to start her workout. You have to check her sweet juicy ass as she bends over the exercise bike. This dirty nympho was ready to get down and dirty. She went straight for the cock once my buddy showed up. She wanted to get the full ass work out. She wanted the cock buried deep in her ass. Dont miss this hot hot scene, sure to become an anal classic.

Average goalie goalie on an average team =.500 record. I think major changes need to be made to this team or a rebuild. They're simply not good enough as they are, even before Lidstrom left they needed to make major changes but didn't and now we're seeing a really sub-par product.
I agree. We have 2 all-stars at the end of their primes and thats about it. Time to pony up for some ufa's or go in the tank for a few years.

The NHL just got a serious boost to their PR. Reading the twitter and facebook posts have been quite an eye opener. Everyone is saying this is the best proposal yet. The NHLPA, which had the ball in their court after the NHL made a proposal last time, now still has the ball in their court and it looks like they are going to volley it back. The big question is, will it be a friendly volley or an aggressive "game point" volley. I think it is going to be a friendly return, but the NHLPA will ask for 52% or something along those lines.
There is some truth to this, but any rational person should understand that it would be unreasonable to simply expect the NHLPA to come back and say, yes, we like the deal, where do we sign. The good news I take from it is that the league moved a little, the league doesn't expect an outright acceptance, but they will expect it to move negotiations forward and there should be a counter off I would think...then some back and forth, hopefully a deal in the next week or so. I don't care about PR, I just want to see a deal.

Im sure Im going to catch hell , but Im coming here to clarify a safety issue on my new 1911 Ruger. Im very familiar with double/single action pistols with decockers.....never a problem....ever. But I just bought my very first SR1911 and cocked and locked just plain bothered me. Also carrying a unchambered , uncocked weapon just didnt seem right either.......so........I decided the best for me was to put the hammer down on a chambered round , so when needed all I had to do was cock aim and fire. Well......after practicing alot , and still not really feeling great about it my finger and thumb slipped !!! Long story short hole in bed , dead stuffed teddy bear , and fresh spackle on the wall. I feel so bad , just terrible.I want to hear others opinions on *** gives . Im very safety conscious , just maybe too careful and uncomfortable with a 1911's function...........Help.:banghead: Have others had similar reservations about cocked and locked ,and if so how did you get over it or what decision did you eventually come to ? Im beginning to think maybe cocked and locked would actually be much safer as lowering the hammer on a chambered round just may be asking for trouble at some point even if its been done millions of times ? Am I right ?

5 Tips for Fixing America's Schools (From a Former Teacher)
#2. Unionize the Dummies
You hear it all the time: Unions defend bad teachers. Unions have bad taste in shoes. Unions killed MLK. And all three of those things are true in the sense that I have sworn affidavits notarizing those facts. Of course there are bad teachers out there. I once took a nap in the reading center while my students ate a Play-Doh effigy of the janitor's shorter leg. Ain't no shame in it.
I digress.
Unions get a bad rap for defending the bottom of the barrel, and perhaps that's fair. American children are precious, and our future depends on their fat butts. The answer isn't blaming our unions for protecting bad teachers -- the answer is tricking our bad teachers into joining different unions. Dummy unions. It won't be hard. Bad teachers aren't smart. They're not reading this article, because we're already past the 500-word mark. And it's not like anyone is going to scream in the comments about defending bad teachers. "How dare you denigrate people who have no business in the classroom!" Or maybe they will. The world is a crazy place.
"If a person wears the same shirt twice in one week, he's cheap." -Quote from actual lesson by shitty LAUSD teacher
I have a plan, and I'm going to need everyone's help.
Step one: We take out Craigslist ads in every city in the country. "Wanted: Certified classroom teacher to try free weight loss program. Lose 5 pounds in 5 hours!"
Step two: Use a comically oversized mallet to bonk the heads of whoever answers the ad. Redistribute students to smarter teachers. They'll be better off.
Step three: High-fives all around.
Problems solved. Unions won't have unsmart teachers to defend and we'll all have a pile of bodies to play on. When they wake up, offer them a job at the mall or something. I haven't gotten past the bonking part of the plan yet. (I don't think I need to.)
#1. Ask the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for Help
Do you know what Bill Gates loves more than looking smug? Toilets of the sun. Do you know what else? Schools. Bill Gates is a sucker for figuring out how to fix schools. True, he's spoken harsh words about the current teacher salary system, but I think we can turn him around. For one thing, I've got this pair of gams I'm not afraid to use.
For another, a moneybags like him doesn't have the time to investigate every single request that comes his way. Sometimes I wonder if he's playing Uno but with his dollars. So I've taken the time to compose this letter to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. You can thank me when we're rolling in Gates dollars.
Dear Mr. or Mrs. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
RE: Schools, all of them
The schools of America are orgasmic to present this grant proposal to you, Bill or Melinda Gates Foundation. Today there are over 80 million students enrolled in American schools and only five of them can read. The rest are just really good actors. Now, you have a choice. You can send 80 million students to Julliard, or you can fix these schools.
We have your dogs.
In the off chance that my grant proposal doesn't work, I have it on the DL that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation lives in Washington State or Portland. I also happen to know that we can find an actress who looks like the Oracle from The Matrix to show up at their doorstep to sweet talk them with cookies and motherly wisdom. I'd sit on a puppy if the Oracle told me to.
She'll get us that money. OH YES. The Oracle will get us that money.
In conclusion, be good parents and help your kids with their homework and everything will probably be OK.
Kristi Harrison is earning that money over on Twitter and Tumblr.

ALBANY – Drive down the streets within the newly designated Elmwood West Historic District in Buffalo, and it might not be hard to find contractors doing everything from exterior rehabilitation work to installing new windows to putting in new furnaces.
For homeowners in the neighborhood, the work comes with dual incentives: new access to a money-saving state tax credit program and the benefit of improving the look of both their houses and their community.
"It's very hard to keep these houses up. It's always easier to say we'll build a new house in Clarence, but, for me, these programs are critical for investing in an urban core," said Jeremy C. Toth, who used a state historical rehabilitation tax credit now available within the new historic district for several projects in his approximately 120-year-old Ashland Avenue house that he otherwise would not have been able to afford.
Last week, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo proposed an amendment to his 2013 budget plan to extend the life of the residential tax credit program for five years – a move expected to easily pass the State Legislature. Proponents say that it will provide a longer time frame for homeowners living in a historically designated structure, or one within a historic district on a state or federal registry, so they can better afford home improvements and will increase the value of properties in a neighborhood.
"This allows people to invest in houses that otherwise might not make economic sense and allows them to do it in a way that preserves the value of the neighborhood," said Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo.
For example, instead of installing cheaper, plastic-framed windows on a historic house, the tax credit program would subsidize the cost of more expensive and historically accurate wood-frame windows to match the house.
"This program allows them to do the work in a way that keeps the character of the house and neighborhood, so it keeps the fabric of the neighborhood intact," Ryan added.
In January, the governor proposed extending a tax break program to encourage rehabilitation of commercial structures, but his budget plan was silent on an existing program for residential buildings due to expire next year. That changed last week with a series of amendments he made to his plan under a legally authorized 21-day amendment period.
The tax credits amount to 20 percent of qualified expenses of at least $5,000 and not more than $50,000. So a $10,000 roof project on a qualified home would be worth $2,000 in state tax credits for a homeowner on a personal income tax filing. Under the program, at least 5 percent of a project's work would have to be on the exterior.
Requirements include that the structure be owner-occupied, listed on the state or national registry of historic places and be located in a federal census tract at or below 100 percent of the state median income level – a provision that makes most upstate historic structures or neighborhoods eligible.
Credits can go for work on floors, exterior and interior surfaces, windows, chimneys, heating and cooling systems, roofs and doors, according to the New York State Historic Preservation Office. Such costs as appliances, furniture, demolition expenses and landscaping are not covered. Work must be preapproved by the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Backers say Cuomo's plan is important because the current law would require homeowners to get the work completed this year in order to qualify for the credits before they expire next year. This gives a five-year extension through the tax year 2019 if it, as expected, gets approved in the final budget plan due by March 31.
In 2010, the state spent only $500,000 on the residential tax program, according to the state Department of Taxation and Finance. This year, it expects to give about $3 million in credits, and that number could grow significantly the more people hear about the program and the more neighborhoods are deemed historic.
While individual structures listed on historic registries are eligible, getting such designations can be expensive. With the lure of the tax incentives, more and more neighborhoods are looking at their own historic designations.
In the new Elmwood district, about 2,000 structures – from houses to barns – could have work qualify for the tax credits. The district is bounded roughly by Richmond Avenue, Summer Street, Forest Avenue and Elmwood.
Within a couple months of the creation of the district, 20 families immediately undertook1enovation work to take advantage of the tax break, said Kenneth A. Rogers, chairman of the effort to get the area deemed a National Register Historic District.
"There are two fundamental values. One is obvious: keeping historic characteristics of a neighborhood intact, which is worthwhile in itself because it is Buffalo. It is what makes up our community," said Rogers, who used credits to restore a kitchen and do window work. "It is an economic-development tool," he said. "This is putting local contractors to work."

She had a promising career in modeling and television and a budding relationship with an Olympic hero, all of it, her uncle laments, snuffed out in one violent moment.
"Who would ever think that someone who had so much going for her would have her life cut short so soon," Mike Steenkamp, the uncle of slain FHM model Reeva Steenkamp, tells PEOPLE.
Reeva, 30, was found Thursday fatally shot in the South Africa home of boyfriend Oscar Pistorius, the famed "Blade Runner" who made history last year as the first Paralympian to compete in the able-bodied Olympics. Pistorius, 26, is charged with her murder.
"Reeva's family had no clue that there were any problems in her relationship," says Mike Steenkamp. "This was a complete bolt out of the blue."
In addition to her modeling, Reeva appears on the South African version of TV's Survivor in an episode airing on Saturday that "will be very traumatic" for her parents Barry and June to watch, says Mike Steenkamp.
"All her visions she had will never materialize," says Mike. "Everything that she was doing has come to an abrupt end. It's tragic."

7 Terrible Sports Achievements (That Will Never Be Equaled)
Hit By the Most Pitches
Hughie Jennings
Whenever the energetic Hughie Jennings stepped to the plate, the audience shouted out his catchphrase of "ee-yah!" while the bat boy walked to first base to wait with a bag of frozen peas and a neck brace. That's because when he retired from baseball in 1918, Hughie had been hit by 287 pitches. He took such a pounding to get on base that the stats on his baseball card were just a recipe for chicken scallopini.
Hughie once took a ball to the head in the 3rd inning, and he was so tough that he waited until the end of the game to fall into a, no bullshit, three day coma. He has every record for being hit by a pitch by any measurement of time. He once got hit by three pitches in a single game, and he almost remembered one of them. In the 1896 season, 51 balls smashed into Hughie. That might seem like a normal number if you're producing a turn of the century drama starring Phil Collins' mouth, but when you're talking about high-velocity objects impacting on a human body, it's kind of crazy. Speaking of crazy, when he traveled to away games, Hughie saved time by leaning into the grill of speeding trucks heading that direction. He had so many concussions that opposing first basemen were coached to sing sweet songs to him, knowing that if he fell asleep he'd die.
Nearest Second Place:
The Houston Astros' Craig Biggio was only two behind Hughie when he retired in 2007, but with our technology, getting hit by balls is not quite the medical marvel it was in 1918. Back then, they didn't have machines to jam cerebrospinal fluid back up your nose. In 1918, when a doctor saw that many bruises, all he did was ask you what you did to make your husband so upset and add that if you're quite through wasting his time, he has a waiting room full of horses with actual injuries.
Longest Prison Sentence(s)
Clifford Etienne
Clifford "The Black Rhino" Etienne started his amateur boxing career in prison while he was serving 40 years for armed robbery. He was let out 30 years early because once a prison teaches a violent criminal how to fight, its job is done. I think it might be a corrupt scheme to sell more prosthetic limbs and rape kits.
Before he used his new-found freedom to become a shitty professional thief, Clifford became a decent professional boxer. Coming into his 20th fight, he had a perfect 19-0 record with 13 knockouts. And to Clifford's credit, Fres Oquendo had to knock him down seven times before he stayed there. After the loss, Etienne seemed to be OK, winning five more fights from 2001 to 2003. But I guess he had 49 seconds to kill one night, so he spent them in front of Mike Tyson whose right hand exploded the part of Clifford's brain that knows what legs do:
Following that loss, Clifford was never quite the same. Two years later he suffered back-to-back losses and he decided if he wasn't good at boxing anymore, he could at least still be good at cocaine. So in 2005, on a hot summer night in Baton Rouge, Clifford Etienne got rob-a-payday-loan-store high and robbed a payday loan store. His getaway vehicle was a stolen car with a family still inside it, and he ended the night by shooting at police. If only the instructional video on dealing with that situation had been released a day sooner.
Once the judge was convinced he was reading actual charges and not a Martin Scorsese script, he gave Clifford 150 years without parole. This brought his career conviction total to 190 years. That is a sports record that will last forever. For an athlete to beat that record, he would have to get sentenced to life in prison for molesting his placenta during child birth and then live 69 years longer than the oldest person ever. Plus, now that I think about it, it would also have to take place in a country where placenta molestation is a pro sport, and last I checked, the Little Miss USA Pageant isn't a country. "Check and mate," says Clifford Etienne.
Nearest Second Place:
NFL defensive end Robert Rozier got out of prison for petty crimes, killed seven white people to get into a black supremacy cult, went back to prison for that, testified against the cult's leader Yahweh ben Yahweh to get out of prison, then got put back into prison for spending his time in witness protection committing check fraud. After all of that, Robert Rozier's conviction totals are still trailing behind Clifford Etienne by 142.5 years. Etienne is that much worse than that.
Most Worst Records in an NFL Career
Brett Favre
Future Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre played so long that he racked up more NFL records than any other quarterback including most completed passes, most thrown yards and longest consecutive starts at an impossibly impossible 297. But there are downsides to being ageless and unkillable. For example, Brett watched three of his urologists die of old age and in his desperation he started texting pictures of his penis to friends.
During his long, long career, Brett also accumulated some unwanted records. He has more fumbles than any player that will ever play (166). He threw more interceptions than any player will ever throw (336). He lost more post-season games than any quarterback will ever lose (11). He was sacked 525 times, and that's not entirely his fault, but no one will fucking beat that, ever. That's nine more than John Elway took and Elway didn't give a shit. When John Elway is standing in lava with a football, he will stay there and sink until you're open. If Weekend at Bernie's 3 was set in the NFL, it would be less stupidly gruesome than a future quarterback trying to break Brett Favre's Number of Times Sacked record.
Nearest Second Place:
By the time the necessary Terminator robots are invented to break all of Brett Favre's NFL records, we'll have more important things to do than play football. Like talking Brett Favre into not coming out of retirement again.
Most Lost Fights
Reggie Strickland
During his boxing career, American super middleweight Reggie Strickland lost 276 professional fights. If it's true that you learn more from a defeat than a victory, that makes him the smartest man on the planet. And he might be. At first it sounds stupid to take every fight you're ever offered, but think of all the hotel costs you save when you sleep in the center of a boxing ring every night. Reggie Strickland once fought nine times in a month and three times in four days. That's less like balls than it's like unethical neurological experiments. He woke up on the mat so often that he started saving time by wearing a mouth piece made out of scrambled eggs. His corner man was a box of Pop Tarts.
Nearest Second Place:
Peter "The Professor" Buckley retired in 2008 with 300 fights. That's 63 fewer fights than Reggie, but Buckley's 256 losses were right on his tail. The two men have a lot in common besides their losing boxing records. For instance, most of their internal organs have been blended into a nutritious juice. They each feel that getting new concussions is the best way to tell your current concussions that you're disappointed in them. And they each did independent scientific research on how many hematomas you have to stack on top of each other before a human face simply stops trying to heal.

Four Rogers Center Early Career Fellows Are Creating Innovative Media Products
Public Relations
Posted: Tuesday Sep 6, 2011
Inspired by the late Fred Rogers who used the medium of television to educate and entertain children, four Early Career Fellows of the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at Saint Vincent College have chosen to carry forward his legacy by creating educational media in the form of smartphone apps and video shorts to promote early literacy.
This year's Fellows were selected in November 2010, through a national competition that drew nearly 30 applications from across the U.S. The four Fellows first met last December for a weekend-long orientation and project planning session at the Rogers Center in Latrobe. They have spent the last nine months developing their projects.
Working both individually and as a team, the Fellows are creating media products specifically for the Fred Rogers Center Early Learning Environment™, a website set to launch by the end of this year as a resource in early literacy and media literacy for teachers, home-based caregivers and parents.
The Early Career Fellows for 2011 are LaToye Adams, a master of arts student at Teachers College, Columbia University and a senior research associate at Michael Cohen Group in New York; Niloufar Behrouz, a freelance animation, web, and graphic designer living in Pittsburgh; Adam Blau, a music composer and producer based in Los Angeles; and Craig Schatten, head kindergarten teacher at The Calhoun School in Manhattan and a musician, puppet designer and illustrator.
The Fellows recently met again at the Rogers Center for a project design session. Over the next three months, work will be completed on their apps that will include a variety of activities, such as a scavenger hunt, daily routine reminders and games to learn about nutrition and to promote the fun of household chores.
"This is my chance professionally to use what I learned in my animation studies and in my work as a researcher in a way that is just mine. My goal is to find a balance between the two," Ms. Behrouz commented on what the Early Career Fellowship means to her.
Mr. Schatten admits to being personally inspired by the late Fred Rogers. "As a kid I watched Fred Rogers," he said. "There was this amazing block of programs – Sesame Street, Mister Rogers and the Electric Company – that was my daily routine. Fred was a big part of my childhood. When I was in college, I used to tell people I wanted to be the next Mister Rogers. I sort of forgot about it until I won this Fellowship. It's amazing."
According to Rita Catalano, executive director of the Fred Rogers Center, "We are thrilled with this year's cohort of Fellows. Each is extremely talented and all are perfect examples of our hopes for the Early Career Fellows program as a career development opportunity for new generations of media creators who, like Fred Rogers, always 'think of the children first.'"
The Early Career Fellows Program is one of the national, signature programs of the Fred Rogers Center. In its first year, 2009-2010, the program supported eight Fellows from Boston, New York and Pittsburgh.
The Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at Saint Vincent College (www.fredrogerscenter.org) was established in 2003. The Center houses the official archive of Fred Rogers' work including scripts, videos and artifacts from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The Center's national programs include the Early Career Fellows; the Fred Rogers Center Early Learning Environment™ under development as a web-based resource for teachers, home-based caregivers and families; and the Fred Forward Conference Series and issues roundtables.
The four Early Career Fellows of the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at Saint Vincent College are, from left, Craig Schatten of New York City, Adam Blau of Los Angeles, LaToye D. Adams of Brooklyn, New York, and Niloufar Behrouz of Pittsburgh.

5 Ways Marijuana Has Changed Since You Were in High School
#2. They Make Weed You Can't Smell Now
Uriel Sinai/Getty Images News
Over the past few years, e-cigarettes have become all the rage with people who still want to inhale nicotine into their lungs but want to do it without also taking in the arsenic and motor oil and other assorted nastiness that cigarette companies use in their products. Some of them even look like real cigarettes (from a distance):
Rosa + Rosa Studio, Inc/NJOY via Bloomberg
Not the kind Stephen Dorff endorses, though, if that matters.
The best part? They have almost no smell. The "smoke" they produce is actually just a vapor that leaves behind no noticeable scent. That means you can smoke them pretty much anywhere without eliciting many complaints, if people even notice at all. Now, can you guess what this e-cigarette has in it?
More Stephen Dorff?
If you said "the equivalent of a quarter-ounce of marijuana," then you are correct. That was an amazing guess. Also amazing: Just like regular e-cigarettes, the ones filled with pot have virtually no smell. The cruel twist of marijuana being the most harmless "controlled substance" on the planet, aside from the fact that it's absurdly easy to catch in a drug test and sometimes necessitates interacting with fans of the band Phish, is that its aroma is so pungent that smoking it discreetly is pretty close to impossible.
That all changed when someone discovered that the same means used to vaporize nicotine can also be used to vaporize weed. Except saying that an e-cigarette is vaporizing actual "weed" is a bit misleading. Anyone who's actually seen a quarter-ounce of marijuana knows it would take about 25 of those e-cigarettes to hold it all. What's actually inside there is (usually) something called hash oil. And that's fine, hash is just a concentrated form of marijuana, after all.
Concentrated to look terrifying.
A lot of e-cigarette-type devices also include a liquid called propylene glycol as part of the vaporization process. That's alright to smoke too, right? Maybe. The technology that went into making propylene glycol and delivering nicotine through the lungs such good friends in the first place has only been around since 2000 or so. It's been mass marketed for about half that time, and e-cigarettes have only taken off in popularity in the last few years. So who knows? More importantly, if you're talking about the difference between e-cigarettes and a pack of Newports, who cares? Unless e-cigarettes give you some faster, more aggressive form of cancer, they can't be a whole lot worse than their "natural" counterparts.
Not so much the case with weed, though, right? It's not like your friendly neighborhood grow operation is spiking their Afghani Kush with tobacco company chemicals. Introducing something like propylene glycol into the mix kind of flies in the face of what weed is supposed to be about, right?
Right. And that's not the only recent development in marijuana technology that's bringing scary-sounding chemicals to the party.
#1. It's Not Always "Just a Plant" Anymore
The talking point most frequently brought up by those who preach the benefits of cannabis use is that, ultimately, marijuana is just a plant. It's all-natural and grows in the ground, so how bad can it really be? God made dirt and dirt don't hurt, as the saying goes.
That's mostly a sound argument, even if everyone stops listening when a stoner starts talking. That said, it's also a hard argument to make for an insanely popular new way to enjoy marijuana. It's a concentrated form called "ear wax" or just "wax" and it will fuck you up. The only question is, "In how many different ways?"
If we're talking the "420" kind of way, wax will definitely do the job. The THC content of most strains of marijuana falls into the 15 to 25 percent range. THC is weed's active ingredient, meaning the ingredient that gets you high. The THC content of wax, on the other hand, usually falls into the 65 to 90 percent range. That's an insane difference. It's basically the Four Loko of marijuana.
Joe Raedle/Getty Images News
Like Four Loko is the horse tranquilizer of beer.
And now for the scary part. How do beautiful green leaves like these ...
Uriel Sinai/Getty Images News
... turn into a product that comes disturbingly close to living up to the visual promise of its "ear wax" name?
Why shouldn't this be in your lungs?
The THC is extracted with motherfucking butane, that's how. Butane is fuel, ladies and gentlemen. You use it to make fire. If you've kept up on your Breaking Bad episodes (as the terms of your Internet membership require), you know that making drugs by way of a chemical extraction process can be far from an exact science.
When the process goes wrong as it relates to wax, the result is that some of the butane stays behind in what you eventually smoke. Is that good for you? Probably not, but willingly inhaling butane has only become commonplace with marijuana smokers in the last couple of years. That's even less time than we've been cutting our Marlboro juice with propylene glycol, so the science on the matter is still pending. There's probably nothing to worry about, though, it's not like a marijuana dispensary would be unscrupulous enough to sell wax that they knew still contained butane, right?
What you're looking at there is a snippet of the menus from two different dispensaries. Wax generally sells for $45 to $65 per gram. Both of these dispensaries carry the exact same strain of wax (Sour Diesel) and are in the same general area, but one of them is selling their product for half the price of their competitor (and most other competitors, for that matter). In light of how wax is made, it borders on terrifying to think about what might account for those savings.
Still, there isn't any hard proof that concentrated wax forms of marijuana actually do any harm, so it's premature to say for sure that they pose a threat to public safety. At least that would be true if butane extraction accidents weren't causing motel room explosions galore throughout California right now like so many Midwestern meth labs before them.
That's video of a news story about an explosion that happened when a man was using butane to make a wax-like product called "honey oil" in his garage, and it's definitely not an isolated incident.
So, if you're looking for the biggest way marijuana has changed since the last time you smoked, here's hoping you don't find out by way of your dipshit neighbor blowing the entire apartment building sky high trying to make gasoline-powered super weed in his kitchen.
