I Love to Create - From Fanny Pack to Glammy Pack
For those of you that have been following with my journey to lose the baby weight you know that I have recently taken up jogging. I am about half way through a couch to 5k program. This is my second go at it after a stress fracture that put me on crutches and the couch for a few weeks. This time around I thought I needed a little something extra on my jogs. Something sparkly, bright and perky. This is when the idea to turn my fanny pack from the 80's into a glammy pack for 2012 hit me. Sadly, I'm not so sure my makeover was a good one. Not every craft adventure can have a happy ending. My knee is starting to bother me again and my glammy pack came out a bit of a hot mess. Never fear, I have a few other sporty makeovers to share with you that will inspire you to ride, run and walk! First up let's talk about my fanny pack. It started life acid washed. I'm sure at the time I had picked that option and thought it was swell. 25 years-ish later I thought I could pep the look up with a few neon accents. If nothing else it would help make me more noticeable to cars. Using Tulip fabric spray paint in three neon shades I coated my Hippy. I should have stopped here but I had visions of neon racing stripes and glittery wording that said something witty like "Let's Get Physical". Instead using a very unsteady hand I tried to do some stenciling that ended up looking like blobs. Truly compared to what I jog in the glammy pack looks amazing. All your craft projects can't turn out perfect right? So if my glammy pack does not make you want to lace up and hit the trails, maybe these projects will. Recently one evening I rode my bike down to the local Red Box. As I peddled home the disk bobbed around in my basket almost falling out several times. I thought to myself: you need a basket liner. Blue Sky Confections you have the cutest one I have seen yet! You how I love a good pennant banner. I love Michele's Old Towel New Series. I profiled her clever washcloths on BlogHer. however, this sporty wristband also caught me eye. Blogilates has an adorable razor back tank top tutorial. I made this swim suit cover up for my daughter, but you could easily make an adult sized version. Even hardcore lap swimmers need something to wear to and from the pool. I get that bike riding safety is important, it is just unfortunate that helmets are typically so ugly. Jenn from Clever Girl revamped hers to make it look like R2D2. ***This is a sponsored post by I Love to Create - I was compensated & given free supplies.

Losing the Baby Weight - 32 Pounds Later
I haven't posted about my weight loss journey in a few weeks for a couple of reasons.
1) There was the fact that for a couple of weeks there was no weight loss to report. That inevitable plateau hit. I knew the easy weight loss salad days would eventually come to an end. However, now that my knee is better and Chris has a new job (read: we have insurance in case I hurt my knee again) I started my couch to 5k program again. I got me some new fancy tennis shoes and am on week 3. This week I am jogging 3 minutes and walking 2 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. I also put some air in my tires, found a perfectly good helmet at Goodwill and started riding my bike. All of these things together started my weight loss up again. Hooray!
2) The other reason I have not written is I was waiting until I had lost 30lbs. As of this morning I have now lost 32lbs since December. Remember the pictures from my sister's wedding are what inspired me to start losing the baby weight. The dress I wore to Hope's wedding was a size 16 now I can squeeze into a size 6 on a good day. I have now passed the original goal I set for myself and thought what the hell I will go for an extra 10lbs. I'm perfectly happy where I am now, but if I lose more weight I am not going to complain.
The tricky part is going to be maintaining this weight. As I've said before this is not my first time at the weight loss rodeo. We are still eating lots of vegan and vegetarian meals around here. This week we had our first bushel delievered from Johnson's Backyard Garden. I went ahead and signed up for a 10 week subscription. It is a little daunting coming home to a giant box of fresh veggies. There is that sudden pressure to start cooking before everything goes bad. With this box I have made....
Carrot/Zucchini/Raisin Bread (using applesauce in place of oil and whole wheat flour)
Penne Pasta with Roasted Beet Sauce
Pesto Sauce – I used the beet greens, kale stems, bunch of basil, parsley and chickpeas in place of pine nuts. There is of course olive oil and parm cheese. So far I have used it on a whole wheat chicken pesto pizza. I have 3 more containers in the freezer for later use. Carrot ribbon pasta with pesto is on the menu for later this week.
Kale Chips
Spring Pea and Radish Salad
Sweet Chili Lime Tofu with Steamed Rainbow Kale and Quinoa
Luckily I love to cook and so does my husband. I'm also thinking of trying my hand at canning and food dehydrating, but that is another blog post.
So there you have it. Turns out that age old theory about eating less and working out more is true. I'm still doing Weight Watchers, but I must confess that my diligence about tracking has started to wane. If my weight loss plateaus again or I start to gain I will be right back to tracking. For the time being I have a good idea about what I can eat to not go over my daily and weekly points. Also, the more I work out the more points I can eat. So as long as I keep jogging and biking everything should be copacetic.
How are your new years resolutions for weight loss going?

I Love to Create - Neons and Nature Picture Frame
I have a real thing for neons and neutrals lately. You might recall my post entitled All-a-flutter For Fluorescents. There was also the neon cake pop display I made for my sister's bachlorette party. Then the real obsession with painted sticks started here with Going All Banksy on the Forest. Month's later my love for this color combination is still going strong. So much so that today for I Love to Create I decided to bring the neon to the neutrals yet again.
Picture Frame
Scribbles Paints
Paint Brushes
Masking Tape
You might recognize this wooden frame as a prop from the Little Lumberjacks and Jills party I recently threw for my kids. The frame was perfect for the woodland theme of the party, but did not fit in with the rest of my kitschy decor when the buffalo plaid came down. I didn't want to just donate the frame or give it away, instead I decided to give it the Naughty Secretary Club treatment. The first thing I did was using masking tape I taped off sections.
Using neon Scribbles paint I adorned my frame. Consider yourself warned that this takes several coats. I eventually added white paint to make the neon more opaque. A white base coat on the stripes might have been my best bet in retrospect.
Once the paint had dried completely I removed the masking tape to reveal the finished product. Ahhh, much better. My very own neons and neutrals painted frame. I love the two extremes of neons and nature together. Then again I would.

The Round Top Flea Market Review Spring 2012
The Round Top flea market finished up for 2012 last weekend. I'm already counting down the days until the fall 2012 show. I went for 2 days this year and besides having my picture taken with a moose I saw and scored oodles of treasures. If you are ever in the Austin/Houston area during the first weekends of April or October I highly recommend a stroll through the cow pastures of Warrenington, TX.
I'm feeling a bit at max capacity when it comes to kitschy stuffed animals today so I had to choose wisely. I did come home with the Alvin bubble bath bottle and plastic cow. At a $1 a piece how could I leave them? It was hard to pass up the crochet amaguri Gizmo. Bright light, bright light, bright light!
I usually come home from Round Top with at least one new addition to my Fisher-Price collection. This year I went outside my comfort zone with this rustic folk art bird house. Not my usual style, but the FP clock sold me on it. I have to say it looks pretty cute hanging on the wall outside my front door.
I love all the oddball things you see at flea markets. This jester molesting a naked mannequin on a hospital gurney was a personal fave. I am still thinking about this large carnival ride and how cute it would be in my back yard. As for the big sequined panda head, well you know how I feel about big panda heads. Can you really ever have too many?
My sister and I scored a pair of matching Abe Lincoln head planters. She spray painted her's hot pink (of course she did).
Did I mention I have an article up over at BlogHer today about how to shop a flea market with an up-cyclers eye? Check it out. I love the way someone up-cycled this bicycle tire to display pictures.
I kinda have a thing for string art lately. I loved this vintage piece and this store's logo done in ric rac.
I'm such a sucker for anything in bulk. In the case of these vintage plastic Santa doll heads I can resell them in my Etsy store. With the arrows and barrettes it is like I bought a readymade collection. Ever since I saw the arrows Danielle Thompson made to put in her son's room I have been dreaming of owning some vintage archery arrows. As for the barrettes I think the entire collection framed in a shadow box would be adorable hung in my bathroom or Tallulah's bedroom.
If I had it to do over I might have brought this set of gumball machines home with me. They had a few issues, but were actually really cheap. There is also a chest high metal dollhouse cabinet that I left behind and keep thinking of. However, if I bought everything this spring there would be nothing to look forward to this fall.

I Love to Create - Baby Easter Basket
Last week for I Love to Create I made a toddler themed Easter basket for Tallulah and this week I am showing you a few options for the extra wee ones. This is technically Baxter's second Easter, but he was only about a month old last year. This year he is old enough to get a basket full of goodies and maybe even hunt for an egg or two. I was inspired by a post I saw on Modern Parents Messy Kids where they made activity oriented Easter baskets. Now that Baxter has been diagnosed with a fairly severe peanut allergy it is not like I can load the kids baskets up with candy. They don't need candy anyway, but now that we are living in a nut free world it seems like every chocolate Easter bunny is no longer a friend but a foe with hidden nuts. The suggestions I have for my baskets will entertain your kids for a lot longer than a piece of candy and there is no risk of a sugar buzz.
Even your Easter basket should be something fun to play with. Tallulah got the sand pail and Baxter gets a dump truck. Make your basket functional and not something cheap that will get thrown out. Heck, make your own out of recycled paper if you want. Anyway, both kids will get to use their baskets soon enough in the new green turtle sandbox their grandmother got them that I have filled with...wait for it....pink sand.
Like Tallulah not everything in Baxter's Easter Basket is handmade. Here are a few suggestions for baby baskets...
Bubbles (he is a little young for them, but his sister will help)
Socks (Can you really ever have too many?)
Stuffed Bunny (his sister was getting one so I thought he might like something to cuddle)
Bunny Glasses (futures so bright, I gotta wear bunny shades)
Ikea stacking rings (I have a plush version that is getting a little flacid)
My First Crayolas (he always watches Tallulah color longingly)
Board Book (nothing says Easter like pictures of cute puppies)
Flash Cards (who does not like to learn about animal sounds)
Ok, onto the stuff I did make!
Tallulah probably paints every single day. Poor Baxter just gets to sit on the sidelines and watch most of the time. Occasionally I will give him some pudding and put him on a piece of posterboard or in the tub and he has such a good time. Usually he just paints with chocolate pudding, but for Easter I decided to expand his color options.
Using empty baby food jars I used my trusty cheap pudding, but this time I chose vanilla and added food coloring. Nothing fancy, but I know he will love playing with this. I'll set him up outside one hot day soon and just hose him off when he is done. If he does not lick himself clean first.
Have you ever noticed most plastic Easter eggs have 2 small holes on both ends? I'm not sure why, but they do. These holes inspired me to try a version of a project I have seen on Pinterest where you engage a child's sense of smell.
Plastic Easter Eggs
Glue Gun
Aleene's Tacky Dots
I applied 2 Tacky Dots to both sides of the inside of my Easter Egg. Next I shook a separate spice into each egg. Use strong easy to smell spices like curry and cinnamon. I closed my egg and shook the spice around then opened up and dumped out the excess. Plenty of spice stuck to my glue dots. Next use a glue gun to seal your egg closed. I just did a blind smell test with husband and they totally work. A half dozen fit perfectly inside a small Max and Ruby tupperware.
Baxter is a little old for rattles, but I couldn't resist making one of these jars of rice. I have seen them all over Pinterest and Modern Parents Messy Kids made some for their baby basket. You can use the food coloring and alcohol method like I did with the pasta I dyed for Tallulah or you can just spray fabric dye from Tulip.
Tulip Spray Dye
Baby Food Jar
Aleene's Tacky Glue
I spread my rice out on a paper plate and sprayed with fabric dye. I let the rice dry and then tossed and sprayed again. All that was left to do was fill an empty baby food jar and glue the lid on.
Hopefully Baxter and Tallulah will spend hours upon hours quietly entertaining themselves with their baskets and the contents. Then again, maybe not. I should also mention that you should supervise all these activities with your wee ones. Things like glass rattles should be investigated on grass or carpet not cement or hardwood. You get the drift. Have fun and happy Easter!
Here are a few other suggestions of fun goodies to make for your babies Easter basket: stenciled onesies, customized bibs, sensory bottles, grandparent's puzzle, pull toy, booties.

CHARLESTON, WV (CNN) – The West Virginia company whose chemical spill contaminated water supplies has filed for bankruptcy.
Officials say one of Freedom Industries' chemical tanks leaked more than 7,000 gallons of a coal treatment chemical into the Elk River on Jan. 9.
The chemical leak caused a state of emergency in nine counties and temporary prevented roughly 300,000 people from using their tap water.
As of Friday, pregnant women were still being advised to avoid drinking the water.
Freedom Industries' chapter 11 filing doesn't provide extensive details about the chemical leak. The exact cause is still under investigation.

GE introduces Multilin D20MX substation controller
Jul 19, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- General Electric Company, or GE, has announced the availability of its GE Multilin D20MX substation controller designed to reportedly help utilities efficiently manage their electrical substations.
By collecting, aggregating and processing data from the many intelligent devices in a substation, the D20MX consolidates that data and communicates it to a central location, effectively helping a utility get visibility to what's happening in its entire network of substations, GE said.
Utilities also can use the D20MX to help perform automation tasks such as load monitoring, load balancing and outage detection. Instructions can be sent from a central control center to the D20MX in remote substations to help centralize control of the grid to improve reliability and efficiency, GE added.
"Since we launched the D20 platform more than 20 years ago, we have continued to invest in this platform to ensure that it meets the evolving needs of our utility customers," said Juan Macias, general manager, Grid Automation. "As with previous generations of the product, the Multilin D20MX will help our customers optimize the performance of their substations and increase the efficiency of their power assets." GE's D20 platform, an industry leader for more than 20 years, has continued to evolve over its life as utilities have continued to modernize their grids. This latest version helps utilities meet their requirements under the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) cybersecurity standards and also includes a suite of new client and server protocols allowing communication with more intelligent devices in the substation. The D20MX is modular in design and is backward compatible to the chassis it plugs into, making it a logical upgrade for existing D20 customers, GE concluded.

Product Information
This kit improves scope mounting two ways. First, the short bars let you know when the front ring is in perfect alignment with the rear one. Second, lapping the inside of the scope rings will reduce or eliminate any shifting of the scope inside the rings and will also remove machining marks that can scratch the finish on the scope. This is "State-of-the-Art" scope mounting and will provide you with confidence that the job has been done right. 1" and 30mm kits include 2 alignment rods, lapping rod with handle (8" steel shaft, plastic ball handle) and 1 oz jar of 220 grit high quality silicon carbide lapping compound. The combo kit comes with 2 alignment bars, 2 lapping shafts one 1" and one 30mm. Properly aligned rings create more surface contact with the scope tube to keep scopes in place during heavy recoil. Misaligned rings cause stress on the scope tube, which can dent the tube, distort the reticle, and cause adjustment problems. Scopes will need to be sighted in following the use of this kit.

High standards in the winery match those in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place under the severest temperature and quality control, followed by skin maceration for 15-20 days. The hallmark of Fuligni Brunello and Rosso (the latter, from the rocky and rewarding cru of Ginestreto) is their great complexity. Élevage takes place in Slavonian oak casks and in French barriques and tonneaux, effectively enhancing and fine-tuning the wines intrinsic nobility and depth.
All labels bear the lion of St. Marco in honor of the Fulignis' Venetian origins. The family, however, has long been thoroughly Tuscan, founding the winery in 1923 round a Medici villa and a tiny country convent of the Renaissance.

We are hoping and praying that at least one town councillor in Whistler is paying close attention to the issue of composting for the community after two presentations in the past month on the subject.
The reason we are wishing somebody is asking critical questions on this topic is because there is a good chance that through thoughtful and reasoned analysis of the situation taxpayers could be saved a whole bunch of money.
Let us explain.
The first presentation we are referring to, was from a private sector company that�s business model is to create a compost product that can be used by certified organic farms. Sea to Sky Soils requested council consider diverting its municipal food waste to its Rutherford Creek facility, as their operation can provide soil for certified organic farms in Pemberton, which in turn supports the resort�s restaurants.
The second presentation was from the public sector, a.k.a. administration at municipal hall. Its response to the private company�s request was frosty to say the least, with arguments made as to why the municipal operation should not support the private operation. Staff provided advice to council based upon feedback from the operator of the compost facility it owns in Callaghan Valley.
But wait a minute. The operator is also a private sector company, Carney�s Waste Management, which runs the facility under a contract that currently sees taxpayers paying about $180,000 a month for those services, according to muni communications staff. Furthermore that company�s contract has expired and the RMOW is looking to re-tender that work in the new year.
So a company that makes money for offering a service is advising politicians against considering another company offering a similar service. I don�t know if council needs a dictionary to define what a potential conflict of interest is, but I do believe we�ve hit the nail on the head with this one.
Council cannot just take the word of administration on this issue at face value. It must push for an independent analysis of what is being proposed by Sea to Sky Soil and how that fits into the municipality�s overall operations. For a whole year this council has approved absolutely everything administration has put in front of them. That has to stop before everyone begins to wonder if the tail is wagging the dog and this issue is the opportunity to see that happen.
In addition to that is the fact that staff is preparing a report on cost savings it could achieve at the compost facility with operational and capital changes. Translation � they want to spend up to $2.6 million on improvements to the facility that already cost over $14 million to build not too long ago.
There is good rationale for the changes being proposed by staff. Because the Whistler facility is tasked with processing the entire region�s biosolids, the byproduct of the wastewater treatment plant, it has more poop than it can handle. What ends up happening during busy months is the facility is over capacity and ships truckloads of biosolids to Washington State to be landfilled � and that ain�t cheap.
Obviously it is a good idea to consider upgrades to address the costly situation, not to mention the carbon footprint it creates. However, in the meantime another private sector operator has come along and proposed a scenario whereby Whistler may not have to undergo expensive capital improvements � and that my friends could mean money stays in the bank instead.
It makes sense that if the private sector is offering a service that the public sector shouldn�t spend money to duplicate those efforts. By council taking a cautious approach to this issue and independently examining the option Sea to Sky presents, the only harm it could do at this point is delay $2.6 million worth of capital projects to 2014 if it doesn�t work out.

Nice blouse from Burda's August 2009 magazine, it isn't available online yet, but I'd recommend it! It was part of their Parisian pattern collection which had other really nice patterns. The ruffle is bigger in person, at first I was a little worried it was too big, but then I stopped being self-conscious about it! The hardest part was hemming the ruffle, it is a little messy but you can't really tell if you sew it with the same color thread. It was fun to sew, Burda sizing is pretty accurate so I didn't have to make changes to the pattern. I think difficulty is intermediate or advanced beginner, just because silk is trickier to work with so dealing with shifty fabric wouldn't be that fun for a novice.

Dear Editor:
I am confused. In your March 20 paper you reported a gun was brought to DMS by a student. This gun was apparently "found" by the student.
The article said our sheriffs were "pleading" with the community to take care securing guns. Yet two pages later I read the sheriffs are neutral on requiring safety training for packing a concealed weapon and oppose universal background checks to see if those trying to buy guns are irresponsible or dangerous. If securing guns is important, why not have laws encouraging it?
Another incident you reported was a sheriff exiting a domestic violence hang up call response because a man was "locked and loaded" with a rifle and threatening to shoot the officer. Though I was raised with many guns, they were used exclusively for hunting so I'm again confused why the sheriffs support concealed weapons being packed on our college campuses so guns can be drawn and fired with ease, yet the officer in this incident had a gun and didn't use it. Don't get me wrong; I'm glad he didn't use his weapon but it seems odd that a group claiming guns are needed to solve dangerous dilemmas didn't use a gun when threatened. And I can't help wonder if the man who threatened the officer had had an assault weapon and hundreds of rounds, as the Aurora theater shooter did, if things might have gone differently. Yet your article says the sheriffs support this man's ability to have both assault weapons and as many rounds of bullets as he wishes to continually fire. Very confusing.
Your DMS article said, "... our students are our best resource ..." for dealing with guns at school. They are a smart group indeed if they can wade through these confusing attitudes toward guns and come up with safe solutions.
Lois Hawk Todd
(Editor's note: To clarify, it was the chief of police who pleaded with community members to secure their guns after the incident at DMS.)

easy to prepare and very delicious. The apples that are used make a big difference. I like Jonathan.
I must have gone wrong somewhere. It was very dry, it never bubbled. Very bland with the primary taste being the breadcrumbs. I would like to try it again as it was easy to make. Any suggestions?

Cc: | matthew@xxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
Sender: | xfs-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx |
This series aims to convert all but one of the remaining users of semaphores in the XFS code to use completions. Two of these semaphores don't quite match to completion semantics, but a small amount of additional code on top of the completions fixes this problem. I'm open to suggestions on different/better ways to implement this. The patch series does not touch the b_lock semaphore in the xfs_buf_t. At this point I'm not sure what we want to do with that semaphore so I've ignored that for now. Also, this lock uses linux primitives, not the xfs sema_t primitives so it doesn't need changing to allow me to remove the sema_t. |

CHICAGO - I'm into "Missing (una investigacion)," the latest book by Chilean novelist Alberto Fuguet.
I'm reading it in Spanish since I have to consciously practice my native language or it vanishes. My family speaks English, lest we leave spouses and children out.
Fuguet is an engaging writer with a deep love and understanding of the United States, and I keep telling both my older son, who is not a native-Spanish speaker but is taking classes in school, and my husband, who teaches Hispanic students and has them convinced he can speak fluent espanol, that they'd probably be able to read "Missing" in Spanish themselves.
There are a few words I need a Spanish dictionary to understand, but those are balanced out by the many instances when the author lapses into English.
One minute you're trying to figure out if a particular word is unfamiliar because your Spanish isn't flawless or because it's specific to Chile.
In the next, the author is asking a family member to critique his written works and imploring, en ingles, "be kind, please."
Such is the nature of the English language - it's a bit like kudzu: It's everywhere, grows uncontrollably and comes to be seen as an invasive pest.
That's certainly the conclusion you could reach after learning of the uproar caused when France's minister of higher education recently introduced a bill to allow that nation's universities to teach more courses in English, even when English is not the subject.
The plan, designed to attract more students from countries such as Brazil, China and India where English is widely taught, has infuriated French citizens who think it is a direct violation of their constitution, which specifies that "the language of the Republic is French."
Sound familiar?
Just recently, we had our own native language kerfuffle when the group ProEnglish, "the nation's leading advocates of official English," put out a radio ad featuring what BuzzFeed Politics described as "a Spanish-speaking 'illegal immigrant' character 'thanking' [Sen. Lindsey] Graham 'for not requiring him to learn English in exchange for amnesty.' "
In the radio spot, the character ends his acknowledgement with the laughing statement: "Who needs English?!"
Well, just for starters, nearly 31 million Hispanics who report speaking only English - or report speaking it very well - out of 47 million Hispanics living in the U.S.
Instances like the French measure or the bid for "official" English really hit at the heart of the role language plays in national identity.

Even after 27 years as a high school, some things still are brand new at Graves County High School.
In its September meeting, the Graves County Board of Education approved hiring necessary staff to begin a wrestling program as part of the athletic offerings at GCHS. Troy Gerrard - a retired law enforcement official from Florida and substitute teacher in the school system - who now resides in Wingo has been hired as the head coach; and, Ron McClung - the volunteer coach of Cuba-Farmington's elementary football program since the program began in 1984 and bus driver for the district – is serving as the program's assistant coach.
Though the sport is immensely popular in other states and has been a KHSAA sanctioned sport for many years, it is still very much an emerging sport in Western Kentucky. GCHS joins 89 other teams in the state who fielded a wrestling team last year, but they join Paducah Tilghman and Calloway County as the only schools in basketball's First Region with a program. The Eagles will be the 13th team in wrestling's Region One which incorporates all schools in basketball's Regions 1-3, which includes 2008 & 2011 state champion Union County.
As the season officially began on October 15, athletic director Doug Gloyd and the coaching staff have scrambled to get uniforms, safety equipment, and mats to get the season rolling, but currently 27 athletes are regularly participating as part of the initial Eagle Squad. Though some players are still to become active after they recover from football injuries, the majority of the squad participated in its first scrimmage on Saturday, November 19 at the Trigg County Pre-Season Takedown Tournament.
Ten teams participated in the event. The Eagles wrestled in four rounds of the tournament, with all of its wrestlers, except Josiah Sisco participating at the JV level. Sisco, who recently moved to Graves County High School from Oklahoma, has previous wrestling experience and enjoyed a big first day for the Eagles. He went undefeated on the day, winning all three of his matches.
Also performing exceptionally well was Graves County Middle School student, Chris Barham - another student who moved to the county with out of state experience, his from Michigan. He had also had three wins on the day.
Other students gaining wins on Saturday were Collin Feezor (2), Kyle Henry (2), Elijah Smith (2), Blake Staples (2), Nathan Barham (1), and Dylan Riley (1).
Others participating in Saturday's inaugural scrimmage were Chance Foy, Ethan Foy, Hayden Gerrard, Hunter Goree, Ben Mathis, Abrahm Oliver, Roy Menser, and Jeremy Shultz.
Athletic Director Doug Gloyd was pleased with the first day. "It was really fun to watch how our kids competed. There was a lot of excitement and energy, and we have some kids that are going to surprise some people and see some success."
Coach Gerrard was equally excited. "These athletes have come a long way in the last two weeks. After competing in this tournament, the wrestlers have a clearer understanding of the high level of commitment required to achieve personal and overall team success."
The Eagles' first official match will be a three school meet with Calloway and Tilghman at Paducah Tilghman High School on Thursday, December 1 at 6:30 PM.

Published: Oct. 17, 2006
Updated: May 31, 2011
Open a yearbook from any high school across the country, and you'll see basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams full of young female athletes bursting with health -- or so it would appear. But appearances can be deceiving, as Alison Toth, MD, knows all too well.
"More than a few of these teenagers could be developing bones as porous and brittle as a 50-year-old woman's," says Toth, director of the Duke Women's Sports Medicine program. Such young women, she explains, are often victims of the 'female athlete triad' -- a syndrome in which young women don't eat enough to make up for the calories they expend.
The result: Menstrual periods cease, bones lose mass, and those strong-looking young women become alarmingly vulnerable to stress fractures and cardiovascular problems, as well as osteoporosis that can never be completely reversed.
"With more women participating in sports and exercise these days, we're seeing a rash of problems that are unique to women or more common in women," says Toth, an orthopaedic surgeon. "Unfortunately, they don't always get the attention from the health care community that they should."
Thanks to the efforts of people like Toth, that's changing. As director of Duke's Women's Sports Medicine Program, she supervises a range of services designed to both treat the injuries and meet the medical needs of active women.
More than a clinic, the program is also a command center for the growing movement to teach women and doctors alike to recognize and prevent the problems that plague active females -- whether they're teenage Olympic hopefuls or sixty-somethings seeking to resume a walking program after a fracture.
The Duke clinic, one of the first three of its kind in the U.S., is at the tip of a wave of such programs cresting nationwide. Part of the reason for the boom is the sheer number of active women, which has exploded in recent decades.
Since the 1972 passage of Title IX -- a constitutional amendment that banned sex discrimination in public school athletics -- the number of high school girls playing sports has jumped from 300,000 to 2.5 million.
Swelling numbers of middle-aged baby boomers determined to stay active and fit form another significant component. In all, it's estimated that more than 20 million women engage in some regular form of physical activity, whether it be workouts, walking, or participation in a sport.
They have a passionate advocate in Toth, who believes a multidisciplinary approach is key to meeting active women's needs. "Treating the whole patient is critical because musculoskeletal problems in women are often linked to other issues -- for example, a stress fracture may be caused by low estrogen levels," she says.
"At Duke, we have a team of specialists who offer multiple services for active women, such as orthopaedic surgery, bone density testing, disordered eating management, and integrative medicine services such as acupuncture. We need to bring all the pieces together to help women avoid future injuries and return to their activities as soon as possible."
Toth is one of only 2.5 percent of all practicing orthopaedic surgeons who are women, and the first female orthopaedic surgeon on faculty at Duke. The Duke Women's Sports Medicine team she has assembled includes Deborah Squire, MD, who provides non-operative musculoskeletal care, as well as Duke consultants in disciplines such as cardiology, endocrinology, obstetrics, gynecology, nutrition, mental health, and physical therapy.
While the clinic offers the full spectrum of treatments, helping women avoid injury in the first place is one of its main goals. "The anatomic, biomechanical, and hormonal makeup of women can make them more prone to certain injuries than male athletes," Toth points out.
"We can help women avoid problems by raising awareness of their risks and teaching them how to use their bodies properly. Injuries are often due to overuse, and women tend to have lower extremity alignment problems that men do not."
A classic example is the tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. "We hear about ACL injuries in male football and basketball players," Toth says. "However, when women participate in sports that require pivoting or jumping, they injure their ACL much more often than men playing the same sports -- up to nine times more frequently. That is a frightening statistic."
There may be several reasons for this discrepancy, including basic differences in anatomy, muscle firing patterns, and muscle strength, Toth says. "The relative power of the hamstrings compared to the quadriceps can be less than 50 percent in females, compared to 70 percent for males. In addition, male athletes use the hamstrings to decelerate more than women do, an action than protects the ACL from injury. Women tend to depend more on the quadriceps to decelerate, putting extra stress on the ACL."
Women are also more prone to elbow and wrist injuries when participating in sports such as golf or tennis, due both to their lower muscle mass in the upper body and their joint laxity. This may stress ligaments and tendons, since the surrounding muscles and ligaments have to compensate to keep the joint stable.
Toth emphasizes, however, that women can take steps to protect themselves. "Like many sports injuries, most golf injuries are due to overuse, especially the use of muscles that are untrained for the great stresses of this sport," she says. Simple hand-and-wrist strengthening exercises can help prevent problems, while early recognition of injury symptoms could speed rehabilitation.
Lateral epicondylitis -- colloquially known as tennis elbow -- is another common injury. "If tennis elbow is treated promptly and properly, the player will likely be out of the game for only a few weeks," Toth says. "But, without rest and subsequent strengthening of the forearm muscles, the pain progressively gets worse until even minimal activity hurts. The same holds true for wrist and back injuries."
Rest, ice, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or acetaminophen can often ease the pain; a corticosteroid injection or surgery may be needed in severe cases. Toth points out that the condition is not an inflammation, but micro-tearing or degeneration of tendon tissues. That means easing symptoms will not correct what caused it in the first place.
"If you simply resume your bad habits, the injury will likely return," she says. "For lasting improvement, you need to learn better ways to do things."
While the Women's Sports Medicine program conducts formal research designed to analyze how effectively injury-causing habits can be "trained out" of female athletes, much of its injury prevention training occurs during day-to-day clinic visits from women of all ages and fitness levels -- including young girls.
"Just as in the young pitcher's shoulder and elbow, active girls may develop pain in the hip, knee, and foot related to jumping and running," Toth says. "Fortunately, most of these conditions can be treated non-operatively and kids can return to their sports."
As female children grow, they also experience societal pressures that create a unique class of health concerns. "Our society puts a great deal of emphasis on body image," Toth says. "Many young girls respond to these pressures by combining excessive exercise with disordered eating. We would like to raise awareness about issues specific to girls and women such as the 'female athlete triad,' so that parents and young, active girls can identify the problem and seek expert help."
Another group that Toth believes could benefit from injury-prevention training are "mid-life" women. Such women, who came of age before the Title IX amendment became law, are eager to stay active and fit, but often haven't had the opportunity to be trained in weight-lifting, running, or organized sports.
"The mid-life woman is interested in exercising for her general good health, but may not know how to do so safely," Toth says. "She may be unsure how to choose the right running shoe or how to strengthen her muscles so that she can play golf or tennis without injury. I think we can play a great role in preventing injury in this group.
"It's wonderful that so many women are participating in sports these days, and they should know that there are resources available to help them," Toth sums up. "We're here to provide leadership in women's sports medicine and a total approach to helping healthy, active women stay that way."
Toth and the Duke Othopaedics team provide expert care to women -- and men -- of all ages. For more information, visit the Duke Sports Medicine Web site.

for my sweet 16 this october, 4 of my friends and I wanted to eat at a fondue place. anyone have suggestions? we'll be seeing "wicked" so something in that area would be great.
if you don't know of any teen-girl-friendly fondue restaurants, then could you suggest a fun themed restaurant?
re: Kris
DIP is a young 20s crowd... but they also ID to get in the door (yes I'm young looking) but they tend to ID everyone. So the 16 year olds are NOT going to get in.
I'd go with La Bonne Soup 100%. Especially if you are going to the theatre. PLUS the prices are a little more reasonable.
re: RGR
I have eaten there. The food isn't great, but not bad. The crowd seemed young to me and I'm 31. The place had that same lively feel a college bar has - people excited about the fact they they are old enough to go out and drink at a bar. Older than teens, but there aren't a lot of places in NYC full of teens. To a 16 year old I think it would be a pretty exciting, but overall harmless (unlike a club full of aggressive guys), place for dinner.
I remember thinking "10 years ago I would have loved this place."
These are both somewhat near the theater district
856 9th Ave
Btwn 55th & 56th StSwizz
310 W 53rd St
At 8th Ave -
You may want to check La Bonne Soupe: http://www.labonnesoupe.com/
It's on 55th Street, not too far from the Theatre and I believe they would be teen-girl-friendly...There is also Artisanal on 32nd Street, more expensive and more grown-up, but check their website:

Here are some of the box quotes from the cover of the DVD edition of Windy City Heat: "I've watched it over and over again," rapper Eminem is purported to have said; "it gets funnier every time." Actor Johnny Knoxville reports that "Windy City Heat is the funniest movie I have seen in many, many years." And a reviewer from Vice Magazine notes that Windy City Heat is "quite simply the greatest movie of all time." Perhaps it's all a bit hyperbolic—that last quote in particular—but the basic sentiment behind these statements isn't too far from the truth. Windy City Heat, a reality comedy (or mockumentary depending on one's interpretation) produced by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla and released by Comedy Central, is, by almost any metric, an astonishing work. If it is authentic, then it is uncanny and unbelievable and, in many ways, utterly disconcerting. If it is completely fabricated, then it is a work of art. Either way, it's something special—even if we're not quite sure what's going on.
The film claims to be an elaborate prank played on a wannabe actor named Perry Caravello. Caravello has been told that he is starring as the lead in a film called 'Windy City Heat' about a middle-aged private detective called Stone Fury who's called out of retirement for one last job tracking down some kind of prized fortune. (We're not quite sure what that fortune is—the details of the fake film aren't actually important, and we don't see much of the final product. Stone Fury seems to be searching for something related to the Wrigley chewing gum family fortune, but William "The Refrigerator" Perry's fridge has also gone missing, so Fury might be on the hunt for that as well. It's all unclear.) In actual fact, everything is fake. All the people involved are comedians or are, in one way or another, related to Kimmel and Carolla's comedy troupe. Here is the film's first four minutes, which essentially sets everything up.
Caravello's two sidekicks, Don Barris and Tony Barbieri (who Caravello knows only as 'Mole'), are in on the joke, and everybody else that is 'starring' in the film or is otherwise related to the project (Caravello's personal assistant, for instance) are also stringing Caravello along. The 'director' of the film, Bobcat Goldthwait, puts Caravello in ridiculous situations that no real actor would be subjected to. One 'scene' requires Stone Fury to be thrown in a dumpster, so Goldthwait orders the dumpster to be filled with manure to make it look more realistic.
In this clip, Caravello is told to stand guard over a table prepared for the film's Japanese financier, Hiroshima Nagasaki. 'Mole' appropriately injects himself into the mix, and Don later intervenes to break the two up. We see here how ridiculous the whole production is—Barbieri, playing the role of Mole, is blatantly wearing a wig and fake eyebrows, and does his best to deliberately ruin the presentation; moreover, the money man's name is absurd, as is the idea that somebody would cancel an entire production over an upturned table.
How could anyone buy into this idiocy? Kimmel and his cohorts could not have made the whole thing look phonier if they'd tried. And yet, by all accounts, and from all the evidence presented in the film, Caravello buys into it wholesale. He really does seem to believe it all, and in his commentary for the film, he admits that some parts of the thing appear to be part of an elaborate hoax—but only some parts of it. And that's only part of the problem here. Anybody with a modicum of common sense would, when presented with Windy City Heat, call the whole thing fake, including the premise that Caravello believes it. It's simply not possible that anybody could be so dense as to not realize what's going on. One explanation we might lean back on is that Caravello has some undiagnosed mental illness that somehow prevents him from understanding the gravity of the situation around him, though I doubt that even Kimmel and Carolla, notorious pranksters from their The Man Show days, would go so far so to pull a fast one on a person with some type of neural malady.
Those close to Caravello claim that he's simply gullible, perhaps more so than any other man currently alive. Though they should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, some of the user reviews on the Amazon listing for the DVD reflect this; one individual claiming to be a friend of Caravello's says he's just easy to fool, and another says that he called Caravello, offering him an open mic gig at a fake nightclub to which Caravello enthusiastically agreed. And, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! some eight years after this whole affair, Caravello looks easier to dupe than ever.
The dedication and time and effort exerted in making this prank come alive must be unparalleled. Windy City Heat is very much The Truman Show realized, albeit on a small scale. Here, Kimmel has constructed a false world filled with wardrobe personnel, personal assistants, secretaries, teamsters, film crew, actors, producers, sets, props, and all the myriad other minutiae that go into producing a film. It's all incredibly real, and if they had played it straight, I'm not sure any of us would have escaped Caravello's situation without thinking we had really starred in a film. Caravello was, after all, actually in a movie: those scenes were actually filmed, and there actually was a script, and there was actually some final product that looked like a feature. It's just that it was all for naught, and all designed as a maniacally complex hoax on a friend. Kimmel is not beyond such grand jokes. He famously duped his comedy partner Adam Carolla into believing Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks was in love with him, in a prank that Maines herself was not even aware of. Looking back on it, Carolla has said he can't believe he fell for it, but humans are notoriously good at the art of self-deceit—though few of us are quite as capable as Perry Caravello. Kimmel seems to have a bizarre, mystical power over people; something that makes them buy into whatever he's selling.
In spite of that, I can't help shake the feeling—perhaps, if we are being honest, the desire—that Windy City Heat is actually a mockumentary, and rather than the joke being on Caravello, it's actually on us. There's no evidence for this hypothesis; I can only argue from my own incredulity and say that the whole production appears too good to be true. Caravello has to be in on it. He can't not be. If it is all a meta-level farce, and if Caravello is only pretending to be the goat, then this is one of the finest productions ever set to film—just as good as Woody Allen's Zelig, and coming in range of (and perhaps even surpassing) This Is Spinal Tap. But if it's legitimate, and if Caravello was really fooled, then Windy City Heat is an amazing document: a transparent look at the art of the hoax. The best type of deception may be to make everything as bizarre as possible. The crazier things get, the more people seem to believe—Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd is evidence of this—and Windy City Heat is the crazy prank to end all crazy pranks.
