Hello friends! I'm slowly getting back into my work schedule so stick with me here. I mostly work until 9pm, it's those days that I have to be there at 9am, that really throws my blogging schedule for a loop. But it is really nice to get out of work and be able to go grocery shopping and make dinner, and that's exactly what I did yesterday.
Well, first, I went to my parents house. My mom said I had a package and I was very excited, and then I became even more excited when it wasn't what I thought it was.
My Fit Approach goods arrived!
Speaking of sweating! My surgeons office said that I can start exercising on July 16th, except if it involves my stomach muscles, then I have to wait until August 6th. When I asked specifically about running, the lady on the phone said "You tell me, you're the runner". Huh, interesting response. SO, friends, you tell me: when do you think I can start running? I'm not going to lie to you, waiting until August to run seems pretty awful.
After the excitement of my package, and showing my parents, and all their church friends (obviously), I had to go to Wegmans because we eat produce and fruit like it's candy. But that's a good thing right?
This is what I bought:
Strawberries Green Pepper
Blueberries Zucchini
Mango Mozzarella
Bananas Carrots
Raspberries Broccoli
Kiwi Soy Milk
Tomatoes Greek Yogurt
Red Pepper
When I got home I made this delicious salad for my lunches this week; its so easy, holds up well and transports without being a mess. Perfect.
I have a thing about wilted lettuce, so there's none of that, but I was sad when I cut open my red pepper and it was moldy inside. This is not the norm for Wegmans, I still love them and after I tweeted a picture of it to them, I love them even more.
I got a response literally within seconds.
The package that I was expecting to get actually got delivered to my apartment (I clicked the wrong button at checkout). I am always worried because of our neighbors but thankfully it was still sitting, in one piece, in our hallway.
I bought this off of Amazon and now our house is smoothie central!
The blender is a beast, it works phenomenally, the only problem is that it's pretty loud and I was worried about the neighbors upstairs. But, then I remembered that they don't care when they have parties in the middle of the night, or when they play their music so loud that it shakes our apartment. I knew I loved smoothies, but I forgot how much I love smoothies, so delicious and so filling. The only other problem with buying a blender is that every time I buy an appliance, and feel excited about it, I feel pretty darn old.
Pat promptly took a banana blueberry smoothie to work in his new fancy cup, I think I'll do the same.
I forgot to tell all of you that on Tuesday I was featured on the Fit Approach site, if you want to read about my water faucet eyes and my Ah-ha moment, this is the place to do it.
What is your favorite kind of smoothie to make?
What should I do with all those pink shoe laces?
Have you ever bought produce only to find it was moldy? What did the store do for you?

Kate Middleton to Sue Over Topless Pictures, Breach of Privacy
by Hilton Hater at .Within hours of Kate Middleton topless pictures burning up the Internet and the pages of French tabloid Closer, the Royal Family is reportedly planning action against the magazine behind these images.
A rep for St. James's Palace just released a statement saying that "legal proceedings for breach of privacy have been commenced today in France" by Kate and William. No further details were included.
The move does not come as a shock, considering the family's swift and forceful reaction to the photos in question.
"The incident is reminiscent of the worst excess of the paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so," said a spokesman for Clarence House, the Prince of Wales' office, early this morning.
But that's not how Laurence Pieau of Closer sees it. This editor doesn't see why there's any fuss being made over the shots at all.
"These photos are not in the least shocking," he told the Agence France-Presse. "They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches."
If Pieau actually believed this, of course, it would raise the question: Why run the supposedly mundane pictures in the first place?
Fortunately, this scandalous hullabaloo does have a silver lining for the Royals: There's no talk anymore about Kate Middleton pregnant rumors, is there?

There's an Op on Opscotch about how this whole matter has been blown out of proportion, especially given the ubiquity of topless celebrity pictures taken by paparazzi floating around the internet. Interestingly, female readers unanimously disagreed, writing strong counterarguments. Read the full Op here: http://bit.ly/OBKOGG.
The young couple must realise that when they are outside of the UK the international press and population will see them as "celebrities" and therefore they will treat them as such and invade upon their privacy in order to earn money and sell magazines. Therefore I would think that they should be more careful and not let their hair down only to be caught on camera when abroad. They are so used to being protected by palace walls, they must remember that when they are not in the safety of the inside of their homes the press will take advantage of their humanity whenever they give them the opportunity.
She should no better. Ya we could say she should have a private life but lets face it her job and her life is public. If she did not want to be seen than she should not have gone topless. A woman in her position will just about manage privacy in the toilet. Again she should know better. The Royals are making this worse they should not be sueing anybody they should let this die away in its own time they are only adding more scandal to scandal. I have to say i love wil and kate they make me want to read everyday about the royals but she slipped up and so did he but i like that it makes me more aware of how human they are. But they need to let it go now.
She seems very thin, almost skinny. I wouldn't think there would be a whole lot to see. French Magazine published Kate Middleton topless private pics here

Thread: Open carry experience.
Threaded View
Open carry experience.
me and a pal of mine went to the range today, and as open carry is legal in virginia, which i jsut learned that you do not need a permit for, i decided I would open carry my XD-9 once I got off post.
went the range with no issue, did our shooting, left. I stopped to get a hair cut, had it on my hip, no-one said anything or stared as far as I saw, went next door for a sub, and nobody said anything, saw 2 people look but that was the end of it.
seems like people around here dont much care.
so if your in virginia or another open carry state, you might want to look into it. laws do vary, so make sure you check those thoroughly.
just thought id share this with you all.

Margarita is a former shell of itself, and whilst the more aspirational Venezuelans responded really well to the food, ultimately there just wasn't enough of them.

*hey guys...I try to watch this show on sony whenever I get a chance..I'll update the days I see it.
*I missed the first half today..sry..but here is what I saw.
Seebo and Preeto's proffessor(the son of the enemy) come to their house..all are happy and smiling. They feed him him like crazy. He gives some cute glances to Seebo(they're too cute. I hope Preeto isn't in love with him as well). Shibani and dadi tell him to tutor the girls at home aswell!! He agrees after some arguing with the sisters.
at Bikram jeets house Kuljeet tells his mom that he'll use the two sisters to get revenge. Vir singh will realize what it feels to see not one but two daughters hurt.
Kuljeet still doesn't know that Preeto and Seebo are his enemies daughters. His brother returns home and gets a lecture for returning home so late.
the next day proffessor ji goes to Preeto and Seebo's house only to get shouted at by Vir Singh.. Dada ji thinks the poor chap is a good for nothing mechanic there to fix the car. Preeto comes and enjoys the scene (I think she fancies him as well). She finally tell Dada that its there tutor. She takes him inside the house and as he take his rumal out of his pocket his wallet falls out. The wallet has a photo of him with his mum and dad. the scene ends here.
*sorry guys its my first time giving an update..hope its ok. This show is really cute..comes on sony at 6:00..

An area for improvement over the previous p-thread implementations is to reorder some of the arrays that the filter uses to store data. We started by restructuring the output vector. We split the output vector into a two-dimensional array giving each thread its own output vector. This separates each thread's data in memory, cutting down on cache poisonings. Note that this does change the structure of the final output, but this change is acceptable given that the Open Ephys GUI can be threaded to read in the filter output from several vectors at once.
We ran the same sequence of tests as before using this modified implementations and observed the following results:
Number of Threads | Runtime (s) |
Control (main thread) | 50.106 |
1 | 49.302 |
2 | 78.888 |
4 | 89.939 |
8 | 35.283 |
16 | 71.337 |

Panda Corporate Quarantine: Leveraging the Community Knowledge to Reduce the Protection Gap
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
As has been frequently pointed out by the security industry, the number of malware samples circulating today has increased alarmingly. So much so, that security companies have had to rethink the current protection model to adapt it and remain one step ahead of malware creators. Panda Security detected this trend long ago, and in 2007 it had become a pioneer in the security sector with its Collective Intelligence, a new technology aimed at detecting ten times more malware with ten times less effort. This new approach improved their laboratories' processing of files and leverage of the community's knowledge thanks to a shift in mentality: the PC was no longer treated as an independent unit, isolated from the rest of computers in the world.

paper definition
The expression in the Authorized Version (Isa. 19:7), "the paper reeds by the brooks," is in the Revised Version more correctly "the meadows by the Nile." The words undoubtedly refer to a grassy place on the banks of the Nile fit for pasturage. In 2 John 1:12 the word is used in its proper sense. The material so referred to was manufactured from the papyrus, and hence its name. The papyrus (Heb. gome) was a kind of bulrush (q.v.). It is mentioned by Job (8:11) and Isaiah (35:7). It was used for many purposes. This plant (Papyrus Nilotica) is now unknown in Egypt; no trace of it can be found. The unaccountable disappearance of this plant from Egypt was foretold by Isaiah (19:6, 7) as a part of the divine judgment on that land. The most extensive papyrus growths now known are in the marshes at the northern end of the lake of Merom.
on paper
In theory, hypothetically, as in Considering casualties, on paper the Americans won the Vietnam War, or They are a good team on paper but not so in the field. This metaphoric expression contrasts something written down with concrete reality. [Late 1700s]

An akhoond (akhund or akhwand) [1] (Persian: آخوند) is a Persian name for a Muslim cleric, common in Iran, Azerbaijan and some parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Chinese word for imam, 阿訇 (Pinyin: ahong), used in particular by the Hui people, also derives from this term. Other names for similar Muslim clerics include Shaykh and Mullah.
Akhoonds are responsible for leading religious services in a community. Akhoonds lead the prayers in the mosques, deliver religious sermons and perform religious ceremonies, such as birth rites and funeral services. They also often teach in Islamic schools known in Iran as hozeh and in other countries as a madrassa.[citation needed]
Akhoonds will usually have completed some studies (of varying levels) in a madrassa, studying various Islamic and non-Islamic subjects, such as Sharia (Islamic law), Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Qur'anic studies, and basic mathematics. They commonly dress in religious attire.[citation needed]
Old usage[edit]
This term was traditionally a slang term in Iran, and it has been completely a derogatory term since the Shah's efforts at westernization. Today in Iran it is almost invariably used as a term of insult, ridicule or disparagement. Ironically, Ayatollah Khomeini himself used the term "Akhoond" as an insult against those clerics that he considered hypocrites and misguided (mostly low-level seminarians who collaborated with the Shah, and unqualified, ignorant village preachers who falsified their own credentials). In Iran, they are also called mullah, molavi, sheikh, haj-agha or rohani. The word 'rohani' means 'spiritual' or 'holy'. 'Rohani' is considered as a more polite term for Muslim clerics, used by Iranian national television and radio, and by devout Muslim families. The term "Akhoond" in Iran is increasingly outmoded, usually with only the older clerics having the title "Akhoond" as part of their name. It has not been used widely as a title since the Qajar era.[citation needed]
In Afghanistan, and among the Pashtun tribes of the Afghan-Pakistan border region, the term is still current in its original sense as an honorific one.[citation needed]
Use in personal names[edit]
The Azerbaijani surname Akhundov (as in e.g. Mirza Fatali Akhundov) is formed from the word akhund.[citation needed]

In this episode of O Wow Moments with Mr. O from the Children's Museum of Houston, we take a look at a Nobel Prize winning experiment!
This illustration shows how an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is used to image a line of graphene made by a pencil. The scale spans ten orders of magnitude, from the microscope and pencil to the atoms that compose the scanning probe and pencil line. As the viewer zooms into the line, graphite flakes, and eventually a single layer of graphene, become visible. On the AFM, a silicon cantilever with a sharp atomic tip and a laser with a photodiode measure the up and down motion as the probe maps out the graphene sample.
These 'Do It Yourself' Nano activities and experiments allow families to experience and learn about nanoscale science, engineering, and technology at home or on the go! They are are designed to be done in the comfort of your own home. Each activity includes lists of widely available, inexpensive materials, step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations.

No, It's For Real: Aspartame Causes Cancer
October 5th, 2007 | Health
[ Check out my latest post on the HP Security Blog: "The Secure Web Series, Part 2: How to Avoid User Account Harvesting" ]
There's been a ton of debate over the years about whether or not aspartame causes cancer. Based on the evidence out there I've always thought it likely true. Well, the evidence continues to get more and more compelling as additional, larger studies are done.
A 2005 study was published by the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP). This study was significantly larger than previous ones. So what did they find?
"Our study has shown that aspartame is a multipotential carcinogenic compound whose carcinogenic effects are also evident at a daily dose of 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg), notably less than the current acceptable daily intake for humans," the authors write.
From a Medical News Today summary:
Researchers administered aspartame to Sprague-Dawley rats by adding it to a standard diet. They began studying the rats at 8 weeks of age and continued until the spontaneous death of each rat. Treatment groups received feed that contained concentrations of aspartame at dosages simulating human daily intakes of 5,000, 2,500, 500, 100, 20, and 4 mg/kg body weight. Groups consisted of 100 males and 100 females at each of the three highest dosages and 150 males and 150 females at all lower dosages and controls.
The experiment ended after the death of the last animal at 159 weeks. At spontaneous death, each animal underwent examination for microscopic changes in all organs and tissues, a process different from the aspartame studies conducted 30 years ago and one that was designed to allow aspartame to fully express any carcinogenic potential.
The treated animals showed extensive evidence of malignant cancers including lymphomas, leukemias, and tumors at multiple organ sites in both males and females. The authors speculate the increase in lymphomas and leukemias may be related to one of the metabolites in aspartame, namely methanol, which is metabolized in both rats and humans to formaldehyde. Both methanol and formaldehyde have shown links to lymphomas and leukemias in other long-term experiments by the same authors.
In other words, the argument has always been, "Well if you give someone four times their body weight in just about anything it'll probably cause cancer." But that's just it: all indications point to aspartame causing cancer at or below the amounts approved for human consumption by the FDA.
Seriously. Consider not consuming this poison anymore.:
[ Update: This link points to another study that refutes the Italian study. That study was extremely large and the results are discussed on the National Cancer Institute's web page, which gives it a lot of weight in my book. But I still remain unconvinced.
The common argument of "humans are different than animals" simply doesn't hold water for me, especially when the opposing evidence did not come from actually administering the aspartame in a lab environment like the Italian study did. Anyway, I sure as hell won't be drinking the stuff, and I'll continue to recommend that my friends and family don't as well. ]

COMMODITIES-Oil drops on Fed fears, mine restart pressures copper
- Tweet
- Share this
* Brent, U.S. crude down 2 pct; biggest slide in a month * Imminent restart of Grasberg mine weighs on copper * Soybeans slip on news of China cancelling order from U.S. * Gold ticks higher as dollar falls, coffee rebounds too By Barani Krishnan NEW YORK, May 29 (Reuters) - Oil prices slid their most in a month on Wednesday, falling with Wall Street stocks on worries the Federal Reserve could phase out its stimulus, while copper came under pressure from the imminent restart of the second-largest mine for the metal. Soybeans fell, cutting short the previous session's rally, on news that top buyer China had canceled a large order for U.S. soy. Gold ticked higher after losses in the dollar. Arabica coffee consolidated above Tuesday's more than 3-1/2-year low, also helping to limit the commodity complex's losses. The Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index, a global indicator for commodity prices, settled down more than half a percent, hitting a near one-month low. Twelve of the CRB's 19 components fell, with crude oil and gasoline losing about 2 percent each. OIL FOLLOWS STOCK MARKET Crude oil tumbled in a high-volume selloff that sent prices down more than $1 a barrel in 15 minutes. Benchmark Brent crude from Europe's North Sea settled down $1.80, or 1.7 percent, at $102.43 a barrel after rising more than $2 in the previous session to the highest since May 21. U.S. crude shed $1.88, or 2 percent, to $93.13 a barrel. It was the sharpest price decline since May 1 for both crude grades. "We're following the risk trade, which is the stock market," said Richard Ilczyszyn, chief market strategist and founder of iitrader.com LLC in Chicago. U.S. stocks retreated from Tuesday's record highs as government bonds rallied on expectations the Fed will pare its monetary stimulus amid an improving domestic economy. Many of the peaks in commodity prices since the financial crisis have been driven by the hundreds of billions of dollars in stimulus money created by the U.S. central bank. Wednesday's pullback leaves Brent and U.S. crude in the middle of the bands in which they have hovered through May, highlighting a lack of trading conviction amid uneven global economic data and concerns that signs of recovery in the United States could curb the Fed's liquidity program. "It's become a fairly tight trading range," said Andy Lebow, vice president at Jefferies Bache in New York. "U.S. crude is settling into the $92 to $98 range, and Brent too is kind of locked into the $100 to $106 range." COPPER WEAKENED BY GRASBERG NEWS Copper's key three-month futures contract in London ended down nearly 1 percent at $7,265 a tonne, erasing the previous session's gains and heading toward a second weekly loss. Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc said it would resume some operations at its Grasberg mine in Indonesia, with production possible in the next two to three days. Operations at the mine, the world's No. 2 for copper, have been suspended since a tunnel collapse killed 28 people more than two weeks ago. Uncertainty over the global economy also pressured copper. The OECD reduced its world growth estimate for this year to 3.1 percent from a previous 3.4 percent. The International Monetary Fund trimmed its forecast for Chinese growth to 7.75 percent this year from 8 percent.

I am considering a peri-areolar breast lift w/ breast implants and have read various pros (less invasive, less visible scarring) and cons (scar stretching, breast/areola flattening). I'm a small B/large A (different sizes), with mild grade 2 ptosis, hoping to get to a full C. I've seen 3 surgeons so far, 2 that recommended Benelli Lift, and 1 that suggested the regular anchor as he never seen a periareolar lift without the above mentioned cons. Also, I have not had children yet but plan to within the next 8 years. What sort of effect will that have? Thanks!
Pros and Cons of Benelli Lift?
Doctor Answers (9)
I have many pictures of the periareolar mastopexy on my web site for you to review. In patients whose nipples have drifted down to just above the lowest point of the inframammary crease or when the nipple is exactly at the crease level, it is possible to get a good result with a periareolar augmentation mastopexy. I have discovered some new ways to keep the areola from spreading out so the old problems with this procedure I do not see in my practice. The flat breast with the baggy skin envelope at the bottom is the result we don't want to see and this comes from doing a periareolar in someone who needed the full lift with the vertical scar..
If you have substantial lower pole skin laxity or if the nipple is lower than the crease or is pointing down, the full lift is clearly better.
Web reference: http://www.randcosmeticsurgery.com
A word of caution: many surgeons perform what they call a 'circumareolar' (or 'donut' or 'Benelli' ) mastopexy. In my opinion there is absolutely no such thing as a 'circumareolar mastopexy'. Removing skin around the areola may enable a surgeon to elevate the position of the nipple/areola complex perhaps 1-2 cm on the breast mound, but it DOES NOT lift the breast itself. In most cases, unfortunately, it serves to distort the shape of the breasts, making them appear flattened at the top. If the breast needs to be lifted, it absolutely requires some internal rearrangement of breast tissue to create a projecting, aesthetically ideal and lasting result - which in turn requires that vertical incision and vertical surgical scar below the areola (and sometimes in the inframammary fold as well.
For several years I have been using a 'vertical scar' technique for most breast reductions, which eliminates the long, horizontal incision in the inframammary fold below the breasts. I have also adapted this technique for breast lift surgery, and have been extremely pleased with the results. As with breast reduction patients, this new technique not only eliminates the horizontal incision, but also creates more impressive breast projection and maintains it better over time. The breast lift procedure I perform not only removes breast skin but also moves some lower pole breast tissue to a higher position, increasing the projection of the nipple/areola area.
Breast lift surgery works well for patients with enough existing breast tissue to build a projecting 'breast mound'. However, in most breast lift Raleigh / Durham patients it is difficult to create sustainable fullness in the upper poles of the breasts by means of a mastopexy alone. This is particularly true in patients who have experienced significant deflation following pregnancy and lactation. For patients who indicate that they wish to achieve a fair amount of fullness in the cleavage area as a result of their breast lift surgery, I recommend that they undergo augmentation mastopexy. This surgery combines a breast lift with the placement of a breast implant usually of modest size, which produces the most youthful breast profile possible.
Web reference: http://www.naturalbreastnc.com
You are definitely well-educated about the Benelli lift and seem to have a good understanding of the benefits and possible disadvantages of it. A photo would be very helpful, but your description sounds like you would be a good candidate for the benelli augmentation mastopexy. You really don't see much breast flattening when you use an implant and have only a small amount of skin to remove.
You might also like...
There are many techniques today for breast lift surgery. The priorities for a breast lift should include creating a natural and full breast mound and to minimize the scars much as possible. A Benelli is an excellent technique to accomplish this. Be sure that your board-certified plastic surgeon has a great deal of experience with this technique. Also discuss with your plastic surgeon what the lower pole of the breast will look like a measly after the surgery. They will want to discuss with you if it is acceptable to have a longer scar in this area if you shuuld have excessive breast tissue.
A benelli lift and an implant to raise the areola is certainly a great combination. I do them all the time in the right patient.
1) We usually do breast lifts together with breast augmentation using only a circular scar around the nipples (Benelli).
2) Benelli lift alone without implants is not a good operation except to correct tubular breasts.
3) For breast lifts without breast implants, we use lollipop scar (Lejour technique).
4) Anchor scar is almost never indicated for breast lifts.
5) Your goals sound reasonable.
The better lift for you depends on how much lifting is needed. The benneli lift (around the nipple) usually works best for small amounts of lift. If you need more lifting, a lift with incision around the nipple and vertically to the bottom of the breast works. If you need the greatest amount of lifting, the anchor shaped incision (around the nipple, vertically to the bottom of the breast, and in the crease underneath) works. I find that patients are much happier having a breast that is properly shaped even if it takes more incision.
It will help you to look at before and after photos of women who have the same amount of breast sagging as you do, see which operation they had, and what it looks like. Then you can decide which works best for you.
Any time you operate around the areola there is a chance your ability to breast feed in the future can be diminished as well as a chance of decreased sensation. Both techniques suggested to you will have scars aound the areola but the addition of the vertical component of the lift will give you a stronger lift.
Dr Edwards
Breast lift surgery before children can alter the ability to breast feed. If breast feeding is important to you, you might want to wait or have a less invasive lift to try to alter this as little as possible.
I would add to your Cons that these less invasive lifts lift the breast less. Much of my decision on offering a peri-areolar lift depends upon timing (breast feeding,) the amount of lift needed to fix the problem and the patient's willingness to accept scarring.

"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"The card was a THANK YOU sent to folks who contributed to a fund raising walk for a fatal disease. My friend, who suffers from this disease, was pictured on the front with her husband. The card captured her positive spirit and in a bright color which matched the t-shirts color for our team, the words THANK YOU, were written. A personal message from me was on the back. I heard rave reviews from those who received them and many said they would frame the card."
"The colors were so vibrant and bright, and the options for text color and font style matched so well. The photo clarity was not as clear as I would have liked but it could have been due to the original photo submitted, it is hard to say. Overall, a really sweet looking announcement."
"Everyone LOVED this announcement. Our baby was wearing pale pink so it matched the flowers on the card perfectly. Also received the printed cards a week earlier than the confirmed date - wow!"
"Really lovely card from the studio basics range. Lovely design and looked great when delivered. Much better than expected and envelopes of a very good quality. Would recommend."

Paul Gothard's Journal
Deep Gratitude
Written Oct 6, 2013 10:06pm
I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your love and support during this journey through cancer, and beyond.
Paul & I read every guestbook entry. Paul was very moved and touched by all of your kind words and prayers. I, too, am moved, especially by your honesty, and the realization of how far-reaching his legacy is. I am grateful that he lives on in so many hearts, not just mine. This is what gives me strength as I take my first baby steps into widowhood.
Some of you know what I mean when I say that no one ever told me that grieving is so down-to-the-bone exhausting that I can't get out of bed. No one ever warned me about being extremely spacey and forgetful. I was never told that I would be paralyzed with fear and depression.
Nevertheless, thanks to all of your prayers and caring thoughts, I'm finding a way to put one foot in front of the other.... And for that I offer my deepest gratitude.
All my love,
Sunni Gothard
(Susan to family!) -
Paul's Obituary
Written Sep 18, 2013 3:38pm
Paul GothardIII, 61, surrendered to aggressive lung cancer on September 18, 2013. He is survived by his cherished wife, Sunni(Susan Light) Gothard, his brother, Eugene, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Jeanne (Krozser) Gothard. His diverse life was spent as a composer, pianist, conductor, college professor, Studebaker enthusiast and restorer, private pilot, motorcyclist, fisherman, and hunter. His life was further enriched by many notable accomplishments in all of these activities. He was a member of the Cleveland Composers Guild, the International Studebaker Drivers Club, and a life-time member of the V-Twin Cruisers Motorcycle Club. Paul taught at Lake Erie College for 40 years, presenting numerous piano recitals, directing the Lake Erie College Community Chorus, and premiering hundreds of his original musical compositions. For a few years, Paul was frequently heard as the host of the "Fine Arts Focus" radio show on WBKC, in Painesville. Paul also participated in composer symposia with Luciano Berio, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Alberto Ginastera, Evelyn Glennie, Hans Werner Henze, and Witold Lutosławski.
In lieu of condolences, family and friends can choose to make a donation in Paul's name to the Seidman Cancer Center at Geauga Medical Center, 13207 Ravenna Rd., Chardon, OH, 44024, or to Hospice of the Western Reserve, 5786 Heisley Rd. ,Mentor, OH, 44060, or to the Studebaker National Museum, in South Bend, Indiana, at http://studebakermuseum.org/
"Paul has left the building..."
Written Sep 18, 2013 3:34pm
Paul died this morning at 7:45 a.m. His struggle is over. He is at peace now. He always heard the "music of the spheres", but now he is flying among those spheres.
As he lay dying with his head in my hands, I told him what a wonderful husband he's been, how honored I've been to be his wife. I told him it was OK to go meet his dad on the French River to go fishin'. I told him there was an airplane waiting at the end of a runway, waiting for him to take the controls; to take off into the clouds and kiss the face of God.
That's a wrap. Now it begins.....

Filter Results |
Name Says it AllPros: Like the name says. I bought 2. My wife and I are using them with our search and rescue gear. It will hold all of our vital information in case of an illness or accident while out on a call. Cons: A bit small for my big hands. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works greatPros: These things are really tiny and work great. A lot of reviews with this product and the other GB sizes state they stop working and I suspect some of that might be user error. With normal sized USB connections, they can only be inserted one way, if you try to insert it upside down it won't let you. This is not the case with this drive, insert it the wrong way and it goes in but doesn't register on the computer. Just a heads up...Verbatim side needs to be facing down. Cons: None, works great. Did you find this review helpful? |
Compact and EfficientPros: These are virtually indestructible. Just enough plastic sticks out of the usb slot that you can comfortably insert and remove the flash drive, but there is no extraneous housing that creates a weak point in other drive shapes. Cons: None noted. Other Thoughts: These little usb flash drives are perfect for just about every use. I didn't do speed tests as I don't particularly care about that level of detail, but I'm sure someone else will. These perform just as well as, or better than, other flash drives of various sizes and shapes by Verbatim and other manufacturers. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good for Ready BoostPros: Worked well for ready boost on a netbook. Cons: No complaints. Did you find this review helpful? |
Takes a So Cal CookingPros: I bought it because I was looking for a ruggedized USB drive. I live in southern California where it can get very hot inside a car during the summer, I have a car stereo that will play MP3s, etc., from of a USB drive. I had some "regular" USB drives and they started losing data after not too long. I have had this one since May, so it cooked the whole summer, and it still plays fine. Cons: none (unless you consider it being so small you might lose it as a con) Other Thoughts: I was surprise by just how small it is. But, I'm on the newegg site now to get a 8 GB one for my messenger bag I drag to work with me every day Did you find this review helpful? |
Small, worksPros: It's very small, and it works. I keep it on my keychain in my pocket, and it hasn't failed so far in the month I've had it. Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: I haven't tested the speed, nor have I noticed that it is particularly fast or slow. Speed is not a major concern for me. Did you find this review helpful? |
Tiny but not so tuffPros: Nice and small, perfect to put anywhere and the little lanyard type cord attached to it makes it easy to keep track of considering the really small size. Transfer speed is decent. Cons: Lived in my wallet in a zippered mini pocket as a bootable puppy linux OS and was formatted to ext2 (a non-journaling filesystem to minimize writes). Unfortunately it died completely after about 6 months and probably only about a dozen uses. The drive hardware indentifier label completely changed, and the drive cannot be formatted or imaged with any partitions/volumes. Now it is an annoying little orange projectile good for tossing at unsuspecting passerby. Other Thoughts: Also got a RiData mini drive that chills in my wallet as my IT swiss army knife. This one has survived without any serious issues, so as of now I'm replacing this drive with another of those. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great!Pros: It is small and super durable, and fairly inexpensive. What more could you want/need. Cons: Open face design concerns me, but no problems so far. Did you find this review helpful? |
Perfect for car stereo usePros: Small, sturdy Cons: No activity light Other Thoughts: This tiny drive incorporates everything into a single sealed piece - eliminating the metal plug. It works well for me, and I actually prefer not having the clunky USB plug to deal with. Did you find this review helpful? |
correction: great drivePros: this is a correction to my first post. this is an excellent drive. not a big sacrifice on speed. very small... fits on my keys, so i never lose it. Cons: the lanyard kind of makes me nervous that it might break, but it hasn't after a month. Other Thoughts: like i said, you definitely have to make sure it's facing the right way up, since it's built to fit both ways. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I recently came across this article from The New York Times, and it got me to thinking. How far am I willing to go to save money on a hotel stay? Part of me says that if I am constantly thinking about how I can save money on a hotel stay, then perhaps I shouldn't be staying in a hotel at all. But another part of me, the "I love a good deal" part, is willing to do a lot of things to save money on a hotel stay. Maybe even make my own bed (gasp!) Interestingly, this "make your own bed" deal is not advertised on the Marmara's website (from what I can tell, at least), so perhaps it is no longer available. Or perhaps this is something that they advertise only in the rooms like most hotels do about saving water with towels. In my opinion, this is the sort of thing that should not be kept a secret – advertising this option would snag more customers, including myself.
To me, a $20 per night discount to forgo housekeeping is a great deal. I rarely need housekeeping when I travel – is it really necessary to have my bed made every day? Nope. I don't always make my bed at home, and I certainly don't need it made when I travel. Especially when I could save almost $100 on a 4-night stay.
Would you do this?
I guess it comes down to the fact that normally, I stay in hotels simply because I'm away from home, not because I want to pamper myself. Vacations are often expensive enough as it is, and I detest spending money on things I don't have to. I do have friends who like to go all out on vacations and "do it right." But these are often times the same friends who have large credit card bills and general financial woes. It seems to make more sense to me to cut costs wherever I can on vacation so that I can spend the money elsewhere, such as an interesting cultural attraction or even a nice meal at a restaurant I would normally never go to.
Definitely some food for thought.

'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Trailer Offers Sex, Guns, Villains
20 hours ago
"Sin City is where you go in with your eyes open – or you don't come out at all." So says Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) during the trailer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the long-awaited sequel to Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez' acclaimed 2005 noir-thriller. Though barely over a minute long, the clip offers a gripping preview of the seedy brilliance that lies ahead – including lots of sex, gun-wielding "dames," creepy color schemes and hair-raising one-liners.

'Spinal Tap' at 30: No One Knows Who They Were or What They Were Doing
20 hours ago
Happy thirtieth birthday to This Is Spinal Tap, which licked the world's love pump this week in 1984. It remains the funniest, truest, most emotionally honest movie ever made about rock & roll and the people who live for it. Can you trace the influence of this film through pop culture through the years? That would be like trying to dust vomit. The enduring power of Spinal Tap is how it gets the details so lovingly right, musically and emotionally — right from that opening scene where the roadies lift the giant skull, »
Fred Armisen Gets Hip-Hop Crash Course on 'Portlandia'

In real life, Fred Armisen is a musician, a bandeader on Late Night With Seth Meyers and a man of impressively varied music taste. But on his IFC comedy series, Portlandia, he's absolutely clueless when it comes to hip-hop history. In this sketch from Thursday's episode, partner-in-crime Carrie Brownstein wants Armisen to join her at a hip hop show, so she – quite hilariously – schools her friend on the genre's major movements.

McConaughey Reveals the Four Stages of 'True Detective' Rustin Cohle
4 March 2014 12:30 PM, PST
When Matthew McConaughey was preparing for the psychedelically complex character he plays in HBO's twisted, acclaimed True Detective (the final episode airs on Sunday), he made a monster document to help him find his way. The show spans 17 years, during which time Rustin "Rust" Cohle variously exists as a sober, hyperanalytical homicide detective, a coke-and-meth-fueled undercover agent he calls "Crash" and a troubled, alcoholic ex-cop. "I just basically broke it down and made a 450-page graph of where Cohle was and where he was coming from," McConaughey says, flipping through »

75 Movieline | S.T. Vanairsdale To Stewart and screenwriter Cory Goodman's credit, the whole set up takes about 10 minutes flat, leaving Priest's remaining 77 minutes to the dark, desolate action at hand. Even more to their credit, there's something evocative in that darkness, something poetic in its desolation. Read full review

60 New York Daily News | Joe Neumaier It appears that turning the John Ford/John Wayne classic "The Searchers" into the church-vs-vampire adventure Priest was not an altogether god-awful idea.

text: OSHAWA -- Boone Jenner will wear the 'C' for the Oshawa Generals' 75th anniversary season. The 18-year-old centre, set to enter his third year in the Ontario Hockey League, was introduced as the new captain during a press conference at the General Motors Centre Tuesday afternoon. He replaces defenceman Calvin de Haan, who is expected to move onto a professional career in the New York Islanders organization. "Boone possesses the intangibles, the character and the work ethic that we feel as an organization ultimately represents what the heart of a General is," said Chris DePiero, the team's head coach and general manager. "At the end of last season in our exit meetings with the players, to a man our guys felt Boone was the guy who would run through a burning house for his teammates and that personality will make him a great leader." Jenner, from Dorchester, Ontario, was the Generals' first round selection, fourth overall, in the 2009 OHL draft and was taken in the second round, 37th overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2011 NHL draft in June. The Generals also announced that defenceman Scott Valentine and forwards Christian Thomas and Andy Andreoff would serve as assistant captains, assuming all return to the team. Both Valentine and Andreoff are overage 20-year-old players, while Thomas is 19. "These three players are a great complement to Boone and give us a great group of four for our leadership group," said DePiero. "Each of these guys have had fantastic OHL careers to this point and they each bring their own strengths to the table." The Generals open up training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa. Check back at durhamregion.com and see This Week papers for further coverage.
