Pub will be keeping it real with a pizza more action
2:00pm Saturday 6th October 2012 in News
A KIDLINGTON pub has been given a new lease of life thanks to a £250,000 investment.
The Red Lion in Oxford Road re-opened for business this week having been shut for a month due to a major refurbishment.
The result is that it has been transformed from a predominantly "wet" pub serving mainly drinks to an operation offering a wide variety of food and drink with pizza a speciality.
The transformation has been overseen by general managers Lisa and Christopher Hoad who have been running the pub owned by The Orchid Group, which also owns the Dew Drop Inn in Summertown.
Mr Hoad said: "The people are so friendly here and we are hoping to attract more from Oxford."

On my manor, the Berkshire House, Duke of Monmouth and the Punter on Osney are still great pubs despite doing food.
I do wish someone would explain the meaning of an apostrophe to the manager though.

But I was commenting on the demise of the traditional pub, which in only my 40 years of drinking in them has changed beyond recognition.
Paul, what is the problem here? It will still operate as a pub, with drinks served. The market for wet-led pubs is shrinking, and the alternative to a joint wet- and food-based pub is for it to be turned into flats.

Yes something might have been lost in the demise of the traditional pub, but some are things we can afford to lose, like a choking cig smoke, an intimidating atmosphere for women customers, and the rush to get a load of beer down your neck before a strict closing time.
The move to decent food has got to be good as well. You can't survive on crisps! THe most revolting thing I have ever attempted to eat - I gave up after one bite - is a 'beef batch' in a very traditional pub in Coventry in 1995 . It was no more than a lump of fatty boiled beef in a roll. No sauce, no butter, no mayo, no spice no seasoning. If this is what traditional pub food was like, most of us will be glad it's gone!

The Ely Tigers have a saying. They want to "Beat the Drum." They beat the drum hard Thursday night, beating St. Thomas Aquinas like a drum 72-37 in the Region 4-7A quarterfinals at Ely.
The Raiders were the only team to compete with Ely last year in the playoffs. Ely edged Aquinas 56-52 in that game. It was the only battle that Ely had en route to the Class 7A state championship. This one never had a chance.
Ely (23-1) jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the first 1:52 of the game with relentless pressure defense and led by 15 at the end of the first 21-6.
"We want to keep teams as far as possible and not letting them come, just keep beating the drum, beating the drum and never give them hope to come back and beat us," Ely's Khalil Thomas said.
It was never close. Ely pushed the lead to 33-9 before St. Thomas (18-6) made its only run. The Raiders scored nine in a row to close it to 33-18, but the Tigers came right back with a 12-0 run and led 45-18 before taking a 47-22 lead into the break.
The Tigers pushed it into running clock in the third following a three-pointer by Richard Lee with 2:20 to play in the quarter. Ely led by as many as 37 points.
Thomas led Ely with 23 points, 12 rebounds, four steals and three blocks.
Lee added 19 points while Lance Tejada found open guys all night with 10 assists.
"We just need to continue to play the way we are playing, stress defense, defense creates offense. We try to make a lot of stops," Ely coach Melvin Randall said.
Ely will play the Northeast on Tuesday.
STA (18-6): Haney, Jr. 13, Wilkinson 2, N'Diaye 4, London 1, Powell 2, Umude 10, Maturah 1, Hunter 3. ELY (23-1): Lee 19, Allen 5, Thomas 23, Tejada 6, Cameron 12, Labadi 3, Gosier 2, Jackson 2. Half: ELY 47-22. Three-pointers: Lee 2, Cameron 2, Tejada, Haney, Jr., Labadi. Rebounds: Thomas 12. Assists: Tejada 10. Steals: Thomas 4. Blocks: Thomas 3.
• Region 4-5A quarterfinal — American Heritage 75, Jensen Beach 27: American Heritage cleared the bench as the Patriots soundly eliminated outmatched Falcons at American Heritage.
The running clock was underway following a 22-0 third-quarter run that gave Heritage (20-7) a 66-23 lead with one minute left in the third quarter.
Reserve center Luke McCormick completed the spurt with an inside basket; he then opened the fourth quarter with a three-point jumper that produced an eruption in the home gym.
With their size advantage and ball pressure defense (alternating between man-to-man and the 1-2-2 zone), the Patriots were off and running out of the gate, taking a commanding 36-19 halftime lead.
Kobe Eubanks led he Patriots with a game-high 20 points and Josh Borders had 13, including three three-pointers.
Drake LaMont, Heritage's 6-9 center, scored all his 13 points in the first half. He, along with Eubanks and Bryant Hill had five first-half rebounds apiece as the Patriots outrebounded the Falcons by a 22-11 margin through two quarters.
Jensen Beach, in fact, allowed four second-chance rebounds on the same possession during a sequence midway in the second quarter.
JB: Thompson 8, Alexis 7, Eudman 5, Baker 4, Spugnadi 3. AMH: Eubanks 20, LaMont 13, Borders13, Ju .Massey 9, Ja. Massey 6, McCormick 5, Hill 4, Mullings 4, Johnson 1. Halftime: AMH 36-19. Rebounds: LaMont 9. Assists: Ju. Massey 6. Steals: Ja. Massey 5
• Region 4-6A quarterfinal — Pembroke Pines Charter 80, Northwestern 71: Over the first 16 minutes of game time, the Northwestern Bulls could do no wrong, countering every rally by Pembroke Pines en route to a 40-32 halftime lead. But it was all Jaguars the rest of the way as they defeated the Bulls.
Adam Ali handled the load offensively for the Jaguars, finishing 14-15 while picking up 36 points, primarily in the paint.
The Bulls stunned the Jaguars in the first quarter, rallying to finish the quarter with a 21-14 lead that would grow by halftime.
But the Jaguars defense limited the Bulls to 12 points in the third quarter to take a 54-52 lead.
With 2:21 remaining in the fourth, Leon Manior was fouled while attempting a three-point shot and the Bulls trailing by four. But with a chance to cut the deficit to one, Manior missed his first two shots. Satchell scored the final four points for the Jaguars in the last five seconds of regulation. The Jaguars will take on Norland at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
PP (19-3): Cheatam 10, Satchell 20, Ali 36, Johnson 2, Meade 9, Gardner 3. NW (16-9): Greene 13, Kelly 4, Manior 4, Nottage 28, Curry 2, Griffin 4, Reynolds 14, Bellamy 2. Halftime: NW 40-32. Rebounds: Reynolds, 4. Assists: Nottage 2. Steals: Ali 2.

Booker T. Washington had the ball with 1.5 seconds to play, down 51-48. The Tornadoes had to take the ball out under the basketball at the other end of the court. The long inbound pass went to guard Devin Holcomb, but he was unable to put up a shot in time. When the game ended the home fans rushed the court to congratulate the Suns.
The first quarter was played close and the Suns only lead 13-11. University school played great defense in the second quarter and only allowed one field goal by Booker T. The Tornadoes also played strong defense and held the Suns to just 6 second quarter points. At halftime, the Suns led 19-15.
The offense picked up in the third quarter as each team traded baskets on almost every possession. As time expired Holcomb banked in a three-pointer to make the score 36-31 going into the fourth quarter with the Suns up.
Early in the fourth quarter the Suns led 40-31, but the Tornadoes quickly narrowed the lead. A three-pointer by Holcomb put Booker T. within two points, 40-38. In the final three minutes each team took multiple free throws. With seven seconds to play the Suns led 50-45. Holcomb sprinted down court and connected on his third three-pointer of the game. Center Maquedius Bain hit one of his two free throws to help ice the game for the Suns with just 1.5 seconds to play.

From the moment a baby is born, the parents' lives are filled with important decisions, "What will he or she eat?" "Play with?" "Wear?" Parents are generally prepared to make those choices; what comes as a shock to many are the many options they'll have when deciding on a preschool for their tot. Kids no longer simply attend the preschool that's closest to home — mom and dad have their pick of preschools touting a clear adherence to one of the many different theories concerning early education. Never heard of Rudolf Steiner or Reggio Emilia? Keep reading for a primer on the many different education philosophies and concepts that await when the great preschool search begins. Source: Thinkstock Montessori What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When entering a Montessori classroom for the first time, visitors will be struck by the unusual scene of children of different ages learning in the same room. With the deep-seated belief that children learn best at their own pace, Montessori adherents believe that children learn best from slightly older children and that the adults' role in the classroom should be more of guide, than teacher. The three primary goals of a Montessori education — inspiring academic excellence; nurturing curiosity, creativity, and imagination; and awakening the human spirit — are achieved through individualized attention, working in small groups, and staying with the same teacher for more than the typical single year. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 6 Waldorf Education What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, the Waldorf philosophy believes in educating the whole child — the heart and the hands, as well as the head. In a Waldorf school, preschoolers and kindergartners learn mainly through imitation and imagination — with activities like storytelling, puppetry, creative play, singing, eurythmy (movement), games and finger plays, painting, drawing and beeswax modeling, baking and cooking, nature walks, foreign languages, and circle time for festival and seasonal celebrations — in the belief that developing a sense of wonder in young children will instill in them an eagerness for the academics that come later in their education. Parents considering a Waldorf education for their children should be prepared to fully embrace the teachings at home as well. As the focus on the natural environment is emphasized and media is heavily discouraged, Waldorf parents are usually asked to eliminate TV and computer use from their children's lives as much as possible, and will never see plastic toys in the preschool. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 6 Reggio Emilia What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With the goal of creating learning environments that help children develop strong thinking skills, the Reggio Emilia philosophy is centered on the belief that the curriculum is not child-centered nor teacher-directed, but rather based on a profound respect for the potential of every child. The four central tenets to Reggio Emilia's structure — Emergent Curriculum, Project Work, Representational Development, and Collaboration — all work to develop kids' abilities through exposure to all types of expressive, communicative, and cognitive experiences. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 6 Unschooling What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Unschooling is exactly what it sounds like: an educational philosophy that doesn't believe in traditional schools or classrooms. Unschoolers are quick to point out that they're not advocates of not learning; they just don't believe that a classroom is necessarily the best place for it. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 6 Neohumanist Education What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The core tenets of the neohumanist education philosophy are based on the guiding principle of respecting all living beings and seeing all as an expression of the divine. If that sounds crunchy, that's because it is: students attending a school with a neohumanist approach can expect activities including yoga, meditation, animal care, and nature walks with lots of focus on artistic expression, sustainable practices, intellectual exploration, and the development of ethical values and selfless service. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 6 Project-Based Education What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Based on the concept that students should study what interests and motivates them personally, in a project-based program, children work independently, starting at a very young age, with teachers serving as guides. With the goals of allowing children to learn through experimentation, exploration, and collaboration, classroom work is closely tied to real-life experiences and lessons. The teacher is there to assist and guide, but the kids are definitely in the driver's seat, encouraged to negotiate with their teacher about the rules, directions, and goals for any given project.

Seen On Broadway:
got a pretty wicked reception from the New York press and it's not hard to see why. It's also hard not to be fascinated by this ambitious, clever, stunning-looking near-miss of a musical. The source material, Gregory Maguire's astonishing novel, which purports to tell the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West (of Wizard of Oz infamy), is surely unadaptable. It's witches' brew of theology, philosophy, and politics tied to a fatalistic narrative marked by sinister wit, creeping paranoia, and any number of sudden deaths. At the Gershwin Theatre, gone are the dueling religions, the ruby mines, the traveling theatre that serves up dark Freudian revelations, the sinister sexual doings at the Philosopher's Club; instead, librettist Winnie Holzman has concocted a romantic triangle right out of Disney's Aida: The Wicked Witch (nee Elphaba) is the smart, green-skinned outcast who becomes a spokesperson for the oppressed; Glinda (nee Galinda) is the blonde piece of cake who gets transformed by tragedy, and Fiyero is the young hero torn between both ladies. It's a not-uninteresting concept, but there are serious tonal problems: Wicked wants to be both a serious political parable and a laugh riot, a duality personified by the two stars. Idina Menzel is torridly powerful presence as Elphaba, while, as Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth camps and cavorts as is her wont. Both give stunningly assured performances, yet they belong in separate universes. The first act has it moments, but there's real trouble in Act II, when Elphaba rebels against the Oz state. For one thing, the role of the Wizard (Joel Grey, made up like Frank Morgan and performing like an old vaudevillian), here depicted as a kind of gentle Fascist, is so vaguely conceived that it's hard to understand exactly why Elphaba opposes him. (In the novel, he wreaks havoc on Oz's economy and environment.) Holzman undermines her cause by making lame jokes about the Bush administration and giggly references to the film of The Wizard of Oz. The last half hour, in which the action dovetails far too neatly with the end of The Wizard of Oz, gets sillier and sillier, until the utterly fake, unearned happy ending. Stephen Schwartz's score has several appealing items, including Elphaba's introductory number, "The Wizard and I," and her first-act finale, "Defying Gravity," but there are far too many sentimental power ballads that don't fit the narrative.

Nevertheless, this is far and away the most exciting design to be seen on Broadway this season. Eugene Lee may be only the designer alive who can deal with the cavernous Gershwin Theatre. Here, he turns a mechanical toy theatre inside-out, exposing the gears and pulleys, adorning the proscenium with stairways, bare branches, and monstrous dragon puppet. It's a startling, creepy piece of work that, beginning with the show curtain, which depicts the map of Oz, borrows from many different periods and styles to create an all-encompassing fantasy world. Kenneth Posner's lighting makes bold use of saturated colors coming at the stage from extreme side positions, thus giving the scenery a sinister patina; he uses his moving lights to pace and build the musicals with effortless efficiency. Most interesting is the way that Elaine J. McCarthy's projections extend and fill out the Posner's lighting looks created; I've never these two design disciplines combined in quite this way. Susan Hilferty's costumes gives bizarre, surreal twists to Victorian silhouettes; her ideas are well-aided by Tom Watson's wild wigs and hair. It's some of the most original costume work seen on Broadway in several seasons. My one reservation has to do with Tony Meola's sound design, which is, at times, too assertive, creating a somewhat disembodied effect. Then again, is it possible to do a really intimate sound design in the Gershwin Theatre? It's hard to say what the fate of Wicked will be: David Johnson, of this office, has argued that, with its girl-power theme, it's a perfect musical for the Lilith Fair set; for that matter, it's certainly an audience-pleaser. Even if it doesn't totally succeed, Wicked In London, Anthony Page's revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof sizzled, thanks to three top stars: Frances O'Connor's tense, wiry, almost unbearably desperate Maggie was a perfect fit with Brendan Frasers's voluptuously alcoholic Brick and Ned Beatty's savage, commanding Big Daddy. On Broadway, at the Music Box, the sizzle is more of a quiet simmer, largely because Ashley Judd is so bland as Maggie. The stunningly beautiful Judd has the right look for the role, but where is the wit, the sensuality, the cunning? Judd has a composed, still quality, which may serve her in other plays, but certainly not here. Jason Patric certainly has his moments as Brick, delving deeply into the character's drunkenness, and exposing the terror inside. And Beatty is still fascinating as Big Daddy, a man of almost monstrous appetites and equally monstrous insights, who ruthlessly exposes his son's secrets only to learn some ugly truths about his mortality. Nevertheless, in spite of Margo Martindale's equally comic and pathetic turn as Big Mama, this production lacks the electric excitement it once had. Still—and some may find this heretical—this is, I submit, Tennessee Williams' best play, full of blood, money, secrets, sex, and death, with dialogue that is bitchy, hilarious, and savage. It's may be the best exploration ever of the lies that keep a divided family alive. The set, by the late Maria Bjornson, is dominated by walls that appear to be coming apart, all the better to allow everyone to spy on each other. Howard Harrison's lighting often has a deeply melancholy undertone. Jane Greenwood's costumes are attractive for the stars and appropriately grotesque for the grasping, greedy supporting characters. Christopher Cronin's sound design provides some powerful storm effects, in addition to a variety of offstage noises. Even in a lackluster production, this is one of the best plays of the postwar period.

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, now at the Belasco (but not for long) asks the question, Can a lonely widow living in a St. Petersburg condominium find happiness taking dances lessons from a self-hating gay man? The answer, according to playwright Richard Alfieri, is yes—if they spend two hours furiously bickering first. Polly Bergen is Lily, still getting over her late, unhappy marriage to a Baptist minister and the tragically early death of her only child. Mark Hamill is Michael, getting over the death of his mother, his lover, and all the men who have used and abused him. Some of the dialogue has to be heard to be believed: When Michael says he doesn't advertise his sexuality, Lily says, censoriously, "You're in the….pantry!" Later, describing his affair with a married man, Michael describes the relationship as "like that yogurt—you know, fruit on the bottom." (It's moments like these that make me wonder if I shouldn't get one of those amplification devices that they rent in the lobby; can I really be hearing these things?). And so it goes, with enough bad one-liners for an entire sweeps week of sitcoms. Bergen and Hamill give it everything they've got (all night long, I kept wondering, what this was like with Uta Hagen and David Hyde Pierce, who did it originally in California). There is, of course, an audience for this kind of thing, but they're used to getting drinks and dinner with plays of this sort. Many critics have lambasted the design; I feel compelled to defend Roy Christopher, who has done gorgeously detailed scenic work on such sitcoms as Murphy Brown, and Tom Ruzika, who is a top West-Coast lighting designer working in theatre, themed entertainment, and architecture. Helen Butler's costumes are a little silly at times, but Philip G. Allen's sound design, which smoothly bridges each scene with a different kind of pop music, is perfectly fine…David Barbour

Seen In Orlando: In mid-October, Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, launched a raft of new attractions, including the heart-stopping new ride, Mission: SPACE at Epcot. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering as a trip to the planet Mars, this flight simulator ride blasts off for a four-minute interactive journey based on centrifuge technology (the astronauts on hand for the opening day festivities say its pretty close to some of their training exercises). There are four ride bays, each with ten rocket capsules for 4 guests each (for a total of 160 people per ride cycle). The exterior and interior lighting design is by WDI's LD Ken Lennon who used a variety of recessed Hydrel fixtures and Thorn CSI fixtures on poles to accent the futuristic curves on the outside of the building. The interior lighting combines everything from color-changing LEDs by Color Kinetics to LSI track lighting, concentric circles of Targetti track, and Strand Lekos, and is run by ETC dimmers and an ETC Unison control system, with Disney's own show control system. The post-show experience is a giant interactive game with huge video screens in a dark starlit experience where High End Technobeams create the sweep of a comet and MR16 fixtures by Times Square run around the edge of the room.
Mission: SPACE at Epcot
No visit to Disney World would be complete with Mickey Mouse, and his latest adventure is Mickey's Philharmagic, a new 3-D attraction in the old Legend of The Lion King</> theatre. Gutted and rebuilt, this theatre now boasts two Pani projectors and some ETC Source Fours used in conjunction with the 3-D film. There are also in-seat effects including water and smells, while Le Maitre foggers and High End Cyberlights add to the environment. Ken Lennon of WDI once again worked on this project, along with projection designer Jim Mulder and Jack Gillette, who designed the 3-D system. Mickey's Philharmagic marks the first time that classic characters, such as Mickey and his pal Donald Duck have been rendered in 3-D animation. Disney has also opened a new hotel, the 2,880-room Pop Century Resort, designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-based architecture firm, with architectural lighting by . Celebrating the second half of the 20th century, this budget motel (rooms start at just $79) is divided by decade, from the 50's through the 90's, with giant objects as icons for each era. There is also an incredible timeline of 20th century memorabilia in the lobby (not to mention the retro food in the restaurant: tie-dyed cheesecake or Flutternutter sandwich anyone?). With all this, plus the new fireworks show, Wishes, lighting up the skies in the Magic Kingdom every night, Disney World is once again putting its best foot forward in terms of entertainment design and technology – Ellen Lampert-Gréaux
Wishes: fireworks in the Magic Kingdom
Seen at the Movies: Richard Curtis' Love Actually sells the title commodity so aggressively that you may be tempted to go out and buy a little nastiness in retaliation. To up the hugs-and-cheer ante, the film is set at Christmastime, and pop songs are heaped over the soundtrack like mashed potatoes. Curtis, the writer of The Tall Guy, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and TV's Blackadder, makes his directorial debut with this British confection, which benefits from the services of an attractive big-name cast—Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, Alan Rickman, and Colin Firth are among the more prominent names on display, though the women are, sadly, relegated to somewhat demeaning roles. The most entertaining performer on hand is the hilariously droll Bill Nighy, cast as an over-the-hill rock star attempting a career resurgence with a yuletide cover of "Love Is All Around." But the movie is overstuffed with characters seemingly injected with love drugs, and the effect is wearying. The blah cinematography is by Michael Coulter, the serviceable production design is by Jim Clay, and the savvy character costumes are by Joanna Johnston.

Word's already gotten around that Robert Benton's film version of Philip Roth's novel The Human Stain is weirdly misbegotten, and I have no argument with the assessment. Benton's careful, classical approach is apparently about as far from Roth's antic authorial voice as it can be. The director treats the story of Coleman Silk (Anthony Hopkins), a classics professor concealing his African-American heritage, and his relationship with an uneducated younger woman (Nicole Kidman), as sober social drama that might have seemed daring 40 years ago. Nothing in this bizarrely miscast film gels, though flashback scenes featuring Wentworth Miller as a young Coleman are the most effective. The movie is dedicated to cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier, who died shortly after production, and who did an admirably atmospheric job with the autumn-into-winter Quebec locations, made to stand in for New England by production designer David Gropman. Costume designer Rita Ryack does her best to make the uncomfortable-seeming actors fit into their roles.

Charles Busch has no difficulty fitting into his role in the 1960s-set Die Mommie Die!. He plays Angela Arden, a middle-aged, has-been singer saddled with a perennially constipated Stanley Kramer-style producer husband (Philip Baker Hall), a father-fixated daughter (Natasha Lyonne), and a gay son (Stark Sands) who collects Donald O'Connor memorabilia. Jason Priestley is in Tab Hunter mode as Angela's generously endowed lover. The movie is adapted from Busch's play, and it only works sporadically on film—director Mark Rucker does a sluggish job, killing much of the material's humor, and the production looks cheap in a way that is seldom turned to its parodic advantage. DP Kelly Evans' glum, underlit work seems particularly wrong (garishly overlit would be more like it), and production designer Joseph B. Tintfass is hamstrung by locations that look more appropriate to the cinema of John Cassavetes than that of Lana Turner. Yet Busch confidently sails past all the movie's flaws, bringing a perfect combination of gallantry and bitchery to the role of Angela. At least the star is beautifully dressed, courtesy of his theatre collaborators Michael Bottari and Ronald Case.--John Calhoun

Start low down all the way down to the right, possibly sitting. Climb left along and out the overhang, trending along the steep arete. In the middle of the problem thin crimps in a rising seam also come into play with the slopey lip. Continue to the apex of the boulder, at the top of a little mini arete, and topout there. If you topout before this, you have not done the full problem.
This problem is on the same boulder as Seurat. Begin low on the east side of the boulder, where the trail first meets the boulder.
A few Organic pads and a spotter to reposition the pads and to possibly protect the climber from a fall into an uneven landing area at the finish.

UPDATE: Second A12 crash causes further tailbacks
Updated 3:47pm Friday 11th April 2014 in News
Two separate crashes on the A12 in Kelvedon are causing delays for drivers this afternoon.
A four-vehicle pile-up on the southbound carriageway at 12.30pm led to the road being closed by police for about an hour.
Fire crews from Tiptree, Witham and Braintree attended the scene and used cutting equipment to free a woman, who was trapped in her car, by 1.15pm.
An Essex Police spokesman confirmed the woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
A second accident southbound, involving three vehicles, took place little more than an hour later, at about 2.45pm.
The road was partially blocked by the accident, and a police spokesman described the injuries as "minor".
An East of England Ambulance spokesman said: "We're treating five casualties and preparing to take three of them to hospital.
"All have neck and back pain but none are thought to be life threatening."

Because there aren't enough assets in place to actively and effectively police the situation; and there isn't a justice system in place that provides a sufficient deterrent to dis-incentivise the selfish morons who couldn't care less.

Eleven-year-old Delphine has it together. Even though her mother, Cecile, abandoned her and her younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern, seven years ago. Even though her father and Big Ma will send them from Brooklyn to Oakland, California, to stay with Cecile for the summer. And even though Delphine will have to take care of her sisters, as usual, and learn the truth about the missing pieces of the past.
When the girls arrive in Oakland in the summer of 1968, Cecile wants nothing to do with them. She makes them eat Chinese takeout dinners, forbids them to enter her kitchen, and never explains the strange visitors with Afros and black berets who knock on her door. Rather than spend time with them, Cecile sends Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern to a summer camp sponsored by a revolutionary group, the Black Panthers, where the girls get a radical new education.
Set during one of the most tumultuous years in recent American history, one crazy summer is the heartbreaking, funny tale of three girls in search of the mother who abandoned them—an unforgettable story told by a distinguished author of books for children and teens, Rita Williams-Garcia.
About the Author
Winner of the PEN/Norma Klein Award, Rita Williams-Garcia is the author of five other distinguished novels for young adults: Blue Tights, Every Time a Rainbow Dies, Fast Talk on a Slow Track, Like Sisters on the Homefront, and No Laughter Here, the latter four of which were chosen as ALA Best Books for Young Adults. Like Sisters on the Homefront was also named a Coretta Scott King Honor Book and a best book of the year by ALA Booklist, School Library Journal, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, and Publishers Weekly. She has also written an acclaimed novel for middle-grade readers, One Crazy Summer, which the New York Times called "a powerful and affecting story of sisterhood and motherhood."
Rita Williams-Garcia is currently a faculty member at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in the Writing for Children and Young Adults Program. She has two daughters, Michelle and Stephanie, and lives in Jamaica, New York.
Praise for One Crazy Summer…
"Delphine is the pitch-perfect older sister, wise beyond her years, an expert at handling her siblings...while the girls are caught up in the difficulties of adults, their resilience is celebrated and energetically told with writing that snaps off the page"
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Regimented, responsible, strong-willed Delphine narrates in an unforgettable voice, but each of the sisters emerges as a distinct, memorable character, whose hard-won, tenuous connections with their mother build to an aching, triumphant conclusion."
-Booklist (starred review)
"The setting and time period are as vividly realized as the characters, and readers will want to know more about Delphine and her sisters after they return to Brooklyn..."
-Horn Book (starred review)
"Emotionally challenging and beautifully written, this book immerses readers in a time and place and raises difficult questions of cultural and ethnic identity and personal responsibility. With memorable characters (all three girls have engaging, strong voices) and a powerful story, this is a book well worth reading and rereading."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
"Delphine's growing awareness of injustice on a personal and universal level is smoothly woven into the story in poetic language that will stimulate and move readers."
-Publishers Weekly
"In One Crazy Summer Williams-Garcia presents a child's-eye view of the Black Panther movement within a powerful and affecting story of sisterhood and motherhood.
-Monica Edinger, The New York Times

WARREN, Ohio - There's new information about the accident that claimed the lives of six Warren teenagers on Sunday.
The initial report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol says 19-year-old Alexis Cayson did not have a valid Ohio driver's license.
She was driving an SUV that struck a guardrail off Niles Warren River Road, went airborne, and landed upside down in a pond.
Although results of blood tests could take another two months to complete, the report says alcohol or drug use by Cayson is not suspected.
The report says it's possible that Cayson was distracted by something going on inside the vehicle before the crash.
One of the two survivors, 15-year-old Asher Lewis, told investigators that Cayson was, in his words, playing around when she was driving, swerving and speeding.
Lewis says he believes Cayson was driving that way on purpose, but couldn't say why.
Lewis says it felt like she was driving 80 miles per hour.
The coroner says Cayson, 17-year-old Brandon Murray, 15-year-old Daylan Ray, 14-year-old Andrique Bennet, 15-year-old Kirklan Behner, and 15-year-old Ramone White all died as a result of drowning.
Funeral arrangements for most of the victims are being made by Sterling McCullough Williams Funeral Home.
A fund called Gifts for Our Children has been opened at Huntington Bank to help families pay for funeral expenses.

Lesnar leaving
Yeah I have not seen anything on him for sure getting cut yet either? There was an article in todays paper speculating that he might get cut but also had listed other scenarios as well so not sure where you are hearing this.

Here's a link to the Star-Trib. Doesn't look good for Brock.
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good -Samuel Johnson - lexicographer
The word genius isn t applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein - Joe Theisman
Lesnar leaving
Here is what I found, not a definate
Vikings defensive line coach Brian Baker could shout "I told you so!" He could argue the merits of Jeff Womble, a four-year starter at Florida State, whom the Vikings had to let go. Or he could declare the whole Brock Lesnar experiment unsuccessful.
But he won't.
Not because he knows Lesnar is going to make the active roster or survive the first cuts Tuesday -- or even make the eight-man practice squad on Sept. 6. Lesnar has no chance of making the final roster and a slim chance of surviving the first 13 cuts. At this point, it's doubtful he'll even be added to the practice squad.
"I definitely was upset at first, but the thing about Brock is he flat-out earned my respect the past four weeks," Baker said. "I don't know how else to put it."
That is the consensus among assistant coaches and players who once were skeptical the Lesnar signing was anything more than a publicity stunt by the Vikings and/or World Wrestling Entertainment, Lesnar's former employer.
"I thought we would have been the last team in the world to sign him," guard Chris Liwienski said. "And then they signed him and we kind of went, 'Oh my gosh, what's this guy going to be all about? Is he going to come in here and tie me in a knot?' But Brock came to work, and guys took notice."
Or, as Pro Bowl center Matt Birk pointed out: "Brock didn't come in here thinking he was a big shot. He took it seriously and kept his mouth shut."
Unfortunately for Lesnar, his nine-year layoff from football and lack of college experience have proved impossible to overcome in one training camp. After an initial boost, his progress at defensive tackle leveled off, and he is duplicating his mistakes. He needs more repetitions at a time when his are being scaled back because the start of the season is only 18 days away.
"I know it's not feasible for them to keep me around [after the first cuts on Tuesday]," Lesnar said. "These other guys have been doing this stuff their whole lives. Me? I'm only doing the best I can."
Lesnar said he remains hopeful of making the practice squad. He said he hasn't allowed himself to think about a Plan B, even though he got only three snaps in the last preseason game at Atlanta.
Ed Hitchcock, Lesnar's agent, said he doesn't expect Lesnar to walk away from football without exhausting all of his opportunities. One of those could include a stint in NFL Europe next spring. The Vikings might have an interest in re-signing Lesnar and allocating him. Or Lesnar could try to join the league on his own, probably with a recommendation from Baker or other Vikings coaches.
Lesnar's age, 27, and years of wear and tear from pro and amateur wrestling at the University of Minnesota are working against him in football. Lesnar hasn't ruled out a return to the WWE, although he might try something different, such as endorsements.
For now, he is all football all of the time.
"Initially, I didn't understand why we signed him, and I was mad that we cut a young rookie player [Womble] who at least knew how to play football," Baker said. "But Brock earned it. You could pick 1,000 guys in his situation and not one of them would have lasted this long."
Baker said Lesnar hasn't attempted one shortcut. He sits in the front of the defensive line meeting room. He works on fundamentals with defensive assistant Jim Panagos for 45 minutes before and after most practices. He takes criticism very well. And probably most important, Lesnar hasn't missed a single rep, despite the fact his groin still isn't 100 percent from a serious motorcycle accident in April.
"My body's not real good right now," Lesnar said, laughing. "But what the heck. For now, I'm living the NFL experience. Who else like me did what I did this summer?"
How long will it last?
"Hey, I don't know what's going to happen," linebacker Chris Claiborne said, "but all I know is the guy turned out to be real cool."

Thanks for the article!!
I get the most pissed off looks from people with my VKG 4 LFE Wisconsin license plate, and I LOVE IT!!

I personally hope we find a way to keep him around. Just from listening and reading what players and coaches have said about his work ethic, devotion and most of all his heart. He has shown all his skeptics that he is for real and REALLY wants this. Always getting to practice early and staying late. Always asking questions from coaches and players like Hovan. He is a class act as far as I am concerned. I wish some of our guys had his heart.
Come on Tice and Red lets keep this guy on the practice squad lethim get the reps. Then send allocate him to the NFL Europe so he can get the time and experience. I do not think he would let anyone down.

That is the article I read as well and no it doesn't sound positive for Brock but it doesn't say he is gone yet either so anything is possible but my guess is he won't make the team but that doesn't mean he may not have a future affiliation with the Vikings as it sounds like they were very impressed with his willingness to learn etc.

dosent sound to promising for him
Lesnar leaving
I don't know. On one hand he has heart, determination, and gives 100% all the time. But on the other hand I'm not sure that we are that must better than every other team that we can keep him around just for the future. Can the Viks really afford to cut a player with more skill just so lesner can have a spot?Happiness is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it but only you can feel it s warmth!

it had to be perceived a dirty hit if Orr was given 5 minutes for interference.

It hasn't felt much like February,
but that is going to quickly change. Cold air sits to our north and it is going
to funnel into Southwest Florida in the next 48
The overcast skies are currently
keeping our temperatures in check, but those clouds are going to gradually erode
away as our winds shift to the north. That northerly wind will drive in the cold
So Saturday will start off mostly
cloudy. However the sunshine will start to breakout as we go from the morning to
the afternoon as our winds do indeed shift to the north.
Rain prospects are low,
but there is a definite chance of seeing an isolated shower. The cooler air
won't come in on Saturday. Our lows will be near 60 and highs will be in the
lower 70s.
Sunday – different story.
On Sunday we're going to see clear
skies and wake up to temperatures around 40 in the urban corridor. Deeper inland
temperatures could drop as low as 31. Despite 100% sunshine our highs on Sunday
will only get to 64.
Monday morning lows will be just as
cold. Interior communities will see temperatures near freezing while the urban
corridor drops to 40 degrees. It'll be mostly sunny to start the week and our
highs will get up to 74.
Tuesday through Friday will be
partly cloudy and warmer. Lows will be getting to the 60 degree mark and highs
in the lower 80s. I'm not forecasting a drop of rain for next

See also the index of all tips.
A common task for CSS is to center text or images. In fact, there are three kinds of centering:
The most common and (therefore) easiest type of centering is that of lines of text in a paragraph or in a heading. CSS has the property 'text-align' for that:
P { text-align: center } H2 { text-align: center }
renders each line in a P or in a H2 centered between its margins, like this:
The lines in this paragraph are all centered between the paragraph's margins, thanks to the value 'center' of the CSS property 'text-align'.
Sometimes it is not the text that needs to be centered, but the block as a whole. Or, phrased differently: we want the left and right margin to be equal. The way to do that is to set the margins to 'auto'. This is normally used with a block of fixed width, because if the block itself is flexible, it will simply take up all the available width. Here is an example:
P.blocktext { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 6em } ...
This rather...
This rather narrow block of text is centered. Note that the lines inside the block are not centered (they are left-aligned), unlike in the earlier example.
This is also the way to center an image: make it into block of its own and apply the margin properties to it. For example:
IMG.displayed { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto } ...
The following image is centered:
CSS level 2 doesn't have a property for centering things vertically. There will probably be one in CSS level 3. But even in CSS2 you can center blocks vertically, by combining a few properties. The trick is to specify that the outer block is to be formatted as a table cell, because the contents of a table cell can be centered vertically.
The example below centers a paragraph inside a block that has a certain given height. A separate example shows a paragraph that is centered vertically in the browser window, because it is inside a block that is absolutely positioned and as tall as the window.
DIV.container { min-height: 10em; display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle } ...

This small paragraph...

This small paragraph is vertically centered.

Poll: 69% of people want WWI centenary to be different
A YouGov online poll on behalf of the think tank British Future suggests that 69% of people want Remembrance Sunday 2014 to be commemorated differently.
More than 80% of 1,700 British adults surveyed thought bells should be rung across the UK and flags should fly at half-mast, and just over half thought major sports events should be moved to another day.
But the survey also suggested people were divided over whether shops should be closed - with 45% for and 45% against the proposal.

Hooded Sweater Vest 12 12
In LOVE with this vest! This vest is fabulous. It is my new "uniform." It makes jeans or French terry pants and a long-sleeve t-shirt look chic and put together and goes equally well with a level up in dressiness. I fell in love with this vest the moment I first spotted it in the catalog last fall. I ordered it and discovered it was back-ordered till end of December and could hardly wait till it came, hoping against hope it would be as wonderful as I had built it up in my mind to be. I was not disappointed! When it came a week earlier than projected, I was, indeed, as thrilled with it as I had imagined! It's beautifully made, the perfect weight--light, yet substantial--and is very slimming. What more could you ask for? Oh, and it even has POCKETS! I've worn it several times but have not yet washed it so I can't testify about that but I'll be shocked if it doesn't wash well. January 21, 2012
My Best Buy for 2012 I love everything about this vest. I bought the plum berry even though it's not a color that I normally wear, and it's my favorite. I loved it so I bought the heather grey. My husband liked them so much he bought the teal for me! The weight is perfect - warm but not heavy - falls very nicely without bunching around the hips. It is true to size and is slimming. It's perfect for casual day at work, or throw on a scarf for movies or happy hour. Care instructions say tumble dry. The vest lost about 1.5in in length when I dried it, so I dry flat now. Other than that, it launders beautifully. The great sale price makes it quite a value. February 2, 2013
Awesome Article of clothing I purchased this vest after reading reviews. I immediately loved it! The color is a pinky-purple and the fabric is lightly ribbed. I am about 5'3 and the vest falls ever so slightly higher than mid-thigh. I wore this with black pants (Ottoman boot cut pants, actually) and a black shirt and I got rave reviews at work. It is incredibly comfortable and a great fit. I just wish I could get it in more colors! Quality, comfort, and price--this vest gets high marks in all categories. April 19, 2014
warmth and style Lovely vest that is perfect for relaxed style in frozen north. I plan to use it as a transitional piece this fall. Will also be great for travel to add a light layer of warmth and style. Love the teal color... fashionable and flattering for almost anyone. September 26, 2012
Does it have pockets? YES! I ordered this vest in the size medium and it fit true to size. I am 5-4 and 130lbs. I choose the Teal color - started to order the grey, but decided at the last minute, "Hey, why not something different?", so picked the Teal instead. I was NOT disappointed at all, it is a pretty, understated, classic shade of teal and of a very nice, substantial but not bulky at all, material. Not heavy either - when I removed the vest from its package I was quite surprised at the weighty "drape" or fall of the vest. It is not clinghy at all! And when I was just about to be disappointed in the fact that there were no pockets, well, surprise!! The are pockets for sure - one on each side of the lapel, at the bottom where the lapel folds back. Very nice. I was obviously satisfied! October 21, 2012
even better than the picture Love the color (fuchsia), the fit, good quality, lightweight layer. November 11, 2013
So Comfortable This vest drapes beautiful and fits perfectly. It's soft and warm and it's perfect for autumn! October 2, 2013
great looks great and will be a good addition for a fall and winter wardrobe. Good, cheerful color that picks up any outfit with style. I will wear it a lot. I really like it. I think it is a little bulky to pack for my trip as I try to pack VERY light. But, the weight is good as it adds to it's warmth July 29, 2013

A recent survey ranking the health conditions of U.S. counties reveals mixed results for Inyo.
In the same study, titled ŌĆ£County Health Rankings,ŌĆØ Inyo is ranked second for ŌĆ£clinical careŌĆØ and ŌĆ£physical environmentŌĆØ but 50th out of 56 counties for ŌĆ£health outcomes.ŌĆØ
Inyo-Mono Public Health Officer Dr. Rick Johnson said this yearŌĆÖs rankings will be compared to last yearŌĆÖs rankings to see what can be gleaned from the information.
Local cancer patient Sandra ŌĆ£SandeeŌĆØ Dohnel Moore never needed help before, her friends explained, and it was even harder for her to ask for it. So her friends are doing it for her.
Moore has terminal breast cancer and her doctors have told her she only has a short time to live. To make matters worse, her friends said, Moore is having trouble paying the bills, let alone setting anything aside ŌĆō as grim as it sounds ŌĆō for inevitable funeral costs she doesnŌĆÖt want to burden loved ones with.
Inyo leaders rejected a suggestion Tuesday to implement heightened regulations on fireworks in the county.
Fourth District Supervisor Marty Fortney brought a request to the board in hopes of banning the use of fireworks in areas of the county that do not have fire protection districts. The use of fireworks within fire protection districts would have been allowed at the discretion of local fire chiefs.
The financial cavalry has arrived for victims of the Center Fire.
Representatives of the U.S. Small Business Administration set up shop in Big Pine at noon on Tuesday to assist community members in applying for federal disaster relief loans.
A high-profile, emotionally charged murder case is about to enter the sentencing phase, where a young manŌĆÖs future will be decided for his alleged role in the death of a relative.
After a month-long trial, Bishop resident Edward Keller, Jr. was found guilty of second-degree murder by an Inyo County jury on Friday.
Keller was charged with killing his 29-year-old cousin, James Eugene Williams, at a party on Thanksgiving Day 2009. Attorney Thomas Hardy acted as KellerŌĆÖs public defender and Joel Samuels prosecuted the case for the District AttorneyŌĆÖs Office.
Mary Roper may have retired from public service in January, but her presence will be felt in the county seat for decades to come, thanks to the planting of a tree in her honor last week.
Former colleagues and friends gathered on the lawn of the historic Inyo County Courthouse Friday to plant a young Colorado Spruce in recognition of the retired county clerk-recorderŌĆÖs many years of service to Inyo and its citizens.
County officials are working to positively identify three different sets of human remains found in remote areas of southeast Inyo County over the past five months.
Assistant Coroner Jeff Mullenhour has been collaborating with local and out-of-the area forensics experts to match DNA and dental records of the remains to missing persons reports.
Mullenhour is investigating a set of bones located in the Anvil Springs Canyon area, believed to belong to one of four missing German tourists who disappeared in Death Valley in 1996.
Inyo County will get its first taste of a craft beer festival this spring.
Bishop will play host to its first microbrew festival Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7 in conjunction with the annual Bishop Home Show and Laws Railroad Museum Choo Choo Swap Meet.
Bishop Mikro Bier Fest organizers are currently looking for local residents and businesses who would like to volunteer or sponsor the event.
Currently, event organizer Britta Wichers is working with the Bishop Area Chamber of Commerce and Manor Market to attract more breweries and out-of-the-area residents who follow trade beer events.
A routine traffic stop Monday on U.S. 395 near Manzanar led to the arrest of two Southern California residents on suspicion of trafficking methamphetamine through Inyo County on their way to Carson City.
According to the Inyo County SheriffŌĆÖs Department, California Highway Patrol officers clocked Victoria Wood, 38, and her passenger Joseph Navetta, 41, both of the Long Beach area, traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour in a silver Jaguar sedan at about 7 a.m. Monday.
ItŌĆÖs that time of year in the Golden State when legislators argue about how to divvy up dwindling revenues against the wall of a multi-billion dollar deficit.
While legislators propose to raise or lower taxes, schools must still prepare budgets.

Adam Beitscher, Med/Peds PL-1Adam was born and raised in Breckenridge, Colorado until he decided to trade in the Rockies for the hills of Omaha, Nebraska to attend Creighton University. While there he was introduced to and overtaken by the combination of social justice and medicine while having the opportunity to work in health care with some of the more disenfranchised people of Omaha, the Dominican Republic, and Bolivia. After a year of post-grad research he fled the country for a year-long volunteer program in Ecuador. While working in a clinic for patients with Hansen's disease and running an after school program outside of Guayaquil, he met Alison. After returning to the US, Adam chased Alison to Boston where he worked at Boston Children's doing HIV outreach, counseling, and testing. Despite her common sense, Alison acquiesced and married Adam in 2010 while he was in DC attending George Washington for medical school. Their expanding family includes a dog, and in October of 2012 their son Owen came into the world just when Hurricane Sandy was beating up the coast. Adam was fortunate enough to travel to Haiti twice during medical school and is hoping to have a career where international work is expected. He is thrilled to be back in New England and at UMASS but is distraught over how he'll be able to stay up on his Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets and Avalanche during residency.
Jacklyn Boulais, Chief ResidentJackie, our only pediatric resident from UMass this year, completed her undergraduate training in Skidmore College in Saratgoa Springs, NY. Volunteering for the St. Anne's Clinic, AIDS Project Worcester, a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic and the Big Brother's Big Sister's Program, Jackie has demonstrated her warm, caring and compassionate nature, all the while maintaining interests in baking, rowing, reading and cake decorating. Jackie will be entering a neonatology fellowship upon completion of her Chief Resident year.
Karen Cotting, PL-2Karen is a UMass "lifer." Born in Lexington, MA on Patriot's Day no less, Karen has appropriately always rooted for the Minutemen, from her time at Lexington High to college at UMass Amherst. So it's no surprise that Karen chose to study medicine at UMass. But don't be fooled by her loyalty to her home state. Karen is an experienced traveler, having been to many countries: Costa Rica, Belize, Turkey, Malta, and Poland, to name a few. In medical school, she did work in Dominican Republic and Malawi. Before making her way to medical school, Karen studied primate behavior and cognition in college, and then became a veterinary assistant and monkey trainer for Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled. From there, she broadened her animal work at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. Finally, she answered her calling back to Academia and spent three years working in research at a neurosurgery lab at Mass General Hospital. There, she realized that her experiences in science and behavior as well as her own personal journey as a pediatric patient with chronic illness pointed her straight to a career in Pediatrics. Outside of the hospital, she loves spending time with her husband and their inappropriate fluffy rabbit and her new puppy, running, and reading on the beaches of Maine.
Laura Dawson, PL-3Laura grew up in small town southern NH before heading to Medford, MA for college at Tufts University, where she majored in Child Development and Spanish and played field hockey. After college, she worked at Children's Hospital Boston as a research assistant in Adolescent Medicine, exploring associations between adolescent mood and risk-taking behaviors. Her work experience confirmed her desire to pursue a career in medicine, which required a post-baccalaureate premedical year at Bryn Mawr College outside of Philadephia. From there, she went to Brown for medical school. She participated in research on infant characteristics associated with maternal depression. She is thrilled to be a part of the UMass pediatrics community and plans to practice primary care following residency. Her personal life is spent enjoying time with her husband and young son!
Salmaan Jawaid, Med/Peds PL-3Salmaan grew up in Houston, TX where he completed his Biology degree at the University of Houston. During this time he performed research on glucose control in Ghrelin receptor deficient mice at Baylor College of Medicine, while also volunteering as an EMT at various locations. He then moved to West Virginia to attend medical school at Marshall University, where he also studied the relationship between obesity and CA-MRSA infections in children. Continuing his exciting journey from the south to the north, Salmaan then decided to pursue a Med-Peds residency at UMass, where he could fully exercise his passion for teaching. He loves spending time with his wife and enjoys watching and playing all kinds of sports. Although he's a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, the Red Sox are still his favorite team and he's excited to see them firsthand at Fenway Park.
Lana Kieras, Med/Peds PL-3Lana grew up in nearby Holden, MA and completed her undergraduate education at Holy Cross. At Holy Cross she pursued her interests in both science and international cultures and majored in biology and Germany. Prior to starting medical school, Lana worked at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence, RI on two behavioral research studies on childhood obesity. Lana then returned to Worcester to attend medical school where she continued to pursue her interest in different cultures and underserved populations. She traveled to Tanzania, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador as part of her medical education. She also served as a volunteer coordinator at a free medical clinic. She hopes to continue working with international and underserved populations.
Jay Lawrence, Med/Peds PL-4, Med/Peds Chief ResidentJay grew up in Massachusetts and studied psychology and film as an undergraduate at UMass Amherst. Before starting medical school at UMass, Jay worked with adults with developmental disabilities in San Francisco, managed business development and advertising sales for television production companies in New York City, learned Spanish in Central America, wrote for a newspaper in his hometown of New Bedford, MA and worked in neurocognitive research at Brown University. He had a great experience as a medical student at UMass and was active in public health education, health policy, and international medicine, completing electives in the Dominican Republic and Cambodia. It was in the DR where he got to know his classmate and now wife and co-resident, Stephanie. Jay remains a fan of film and television, plays guitar, travels as often as possible, and loves spending time with family and friends.
Kristen Markie, PL-3Kristen is a relatively locally grown resident, having been born in RI and raised in North Attleboro, MA.

Outside of medicine, Lindsay's greatest passion is sports, as she is an avid fan of all of the major Boston and local sports teams. She has a particular soft spot for ice hockey, and is disappointed that her lack of skating skills kept her from pursing her dream of being a professional goalie. She also enjoys camping, playing board games, amateur meteorology, and spending time with her family and friends. Lindsay plans to remain in New England after residency to pursue a career in primary care. She will be serving as Chief Reisdent during the 2014-2015 academic year.

While attending medical school at the University at Buffalo, Brian was president of his school's AMA, spent a summer doing pediatric research in Vermont, and ran over 50 road and trail races. Brian is strongly thinking about primary care after residency. When not in the hospital or running, he enjoys being with family and friends, cycling, hiking, snowboarding and sailing.

My heart was beating fast as I shut the door and hid under the bed.
What other conjunctions can I use in this sentence?
Thank you.
