Living in an RV : Day 10
I've lived in my RV for 10 days now. I have only gone back to the condo to get clothes, and to sleep one night (basically I picked a loud parking spot that was 10 feet from the condo and it was 5am so I just went inside instead of driving to a quiet spot). A lot of things have panned out as expected, but there have also been some big surprises.
- Overnight parking is SIMPLE to find if you know the city. I expected this to be WAY harder than it is. I can park in any one place for 72 hours without problems. I've parked in front of my favorite restaurant (the only place I used to drive to), and I'm almost always there. It's fantastic to just be able to walk out my front (actually it's on the back of the RV) door and eat my lunch and dinner every day. On weekends I'm thinking about parking right on 5th street (which is the center of downtown, right where the condo is) for the weekend. Metered spots are free on the weekend.
- Regular parking is also simple! With the bus we had to really consider where we parked (although it was actually easier than expected). With my little guy I park anywhere. I even parked in a compact spot a couple times. One of those times I had to argue with a security guard, assistant manager, and manager. None of them could point out a good reason why I couldn't park there, so they let me.
- Gas mileage is awful. I get 11mpg if I'm lucky. There are some really cool RVs that are slightly thinner but get 22mpg, so I may upgrade if I keep living in an RV.
- You don't really need more space than this. Everything in the RV is laid out so cleverly that I never wish I had more room. I've had friends come over and hang out for hours - it's totally comfortable. I was even thinking I could make due without the couch. I was idly considering getting a bigger one with a bedroom in back, and then I realized that I actually prefer not having a bedroom. This way my bed gets made (put away) every morning, so I start off with a nice clean RV. Speaking of which...
- This thing is REALLY easy to clean. It might take 10 minutes at most. I used to agonize about cleaning - now it's a reflex to tidy everything up because it takes so little time.
- Power is an issue. Air conditioning will be. Right now I don't have a good way to power my laptop all day. This is a problem (and part of the reason I haven't posted this past week). I'm probably going to get a solar solution, but these are pretty expensive. So far I've been sleeping without air conditioning, but in the summer I won't be able to do this anymore. Doug has volunteered to let me buy some power from him to run the AC at night, and he lives close to downtown, so that will be pretty cool.
- I don't use a lot of resources. When you're filling and dumping your own tanks, you get to find out how much you use. In a week I go through about 42 gallons of water (I think I can cut that down now that I understand how my hot water heater works), and I fill up about 60 gallons of waste (most of that is shower water - I'm not that... prolific). I actually like my short efficient showers now. I washed my hands at the condo when I was over there getting some stuff and it seemed crazy to have the faucet on full blast. Disclaimer : I don't really care about the environment. I just like being efficient.
- This is a REALLY cheap way to live WELL Austin has some crazy price fixing scheme or something because dumping waste here runs $15. Usually it's $0-5, so I don't know what's going on. I have to do that 4 times a month. Wireless internet is running me about $40. Gas to run the generator once in a while might be $50-100 a month. Propane seriously NEVER runs out so I have no idea how much I'm using. I've been using it full tilt for a week and it still says full. Let's say $20/mo just to have a number. Insurance is $95 a month (but that's also my auto insurance, so it's not really fair to count it). That's under $300 a month for ALL living expenses besides food. In my opinion, the RV is WAY cooler than any crappy apartment. I really can't understand why more people don't do this. Students especially.
- When I buy something for my car, I have it in my house too. Want satellite radio? Get one and have it in your house and car. I can use one charger for my phone. Insurance covers my house and my car since they're the same thing. Cleaning my car cleans my house.
I could go on and on, but you probably get the idea. I totally love living in this RV. It's a great feeling to drive over to my mom's house and have her say "Oh, you didn't happen to bring those tickets, did you?" and to just be able to walk into my house and get them.
My parents are really into the RV thing, which is funny. They're always a bit skeptical about my schemes. My dad helped me take out the CRT TV and the Microwave which I replaced with a flat panel and a flash bake oven. My mom made me nice curtains. I'm trying hard to resist the urge to totally trick out the RV. The carpet smells a bit musty so I might put in granite tile or bamboo floors. I think that would be neat.

GRAYSON CO., TX---It's an annual event at the North Texas Regional Airport where people can come out and see the best of the best of airplane performers. Michelle Gillespie actually got to go up in one of those planes.
She reports that it was a thrilling ride, that lasted all of about 10 minutes! She also caught up with one of the pilots who likes to say that he "flies in the stars, and with some stars".
"It's a chance to fly in my hometown," says J.W. "Corkey" Fornof.
Performing pilots from across the country will showcase their talents at this year's airshow and among all those top-notch aviators, you might see this man, a North Texas native and a celebrity in his own right.
"You've seen me and don't even know you've seen me unless you read the credits at the end of the movie," says J.W. "Corkey" Fornof.
The name J.W. "Corkey" Fornof doesn't ring a bell? That's because he does all the flying in big name Hollywood movies, but you never see his face.
"Oh, it's fun, it's taken me all around the world, I've flown on every continent in the world and over 300 different types of airplanes," says Fornof.
He's a stunt pilot, most known for his flying in James Bond films, but he's also worked with actors like Nicholas Cage, Harrison Ford, and John Travolta.
Tomorrow will be another day he wows an audience when he takes to the skies at the Grace Flight Airshow at the North Texas Regional Airport.
"It keeps you young," says "Corkey".
The airhsow begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday and runs until 3:30 p.m.
Tickets are ten dollars and free for children under 12 years of age.

With "Green Lantern" tanking and disappointing last summer, "The Dark Knight Rises" putting Batman to bed (for now), and the verdict still out on "Man Of Steel" next year, Warner Bros. is looking pretty short on comic book heroes to exploit. But they've got an ace up their sleeve in "Justice League." A movie they've been trying to get off the ground for years (more on that in a moment), the studio is undoubtedly looking at Marvel's $1.3 billion worldwide haul for "The Avengers" and drooling. You call that a team up movie? How about one with Superman and Batman in the same damn movie? So no surprise they are giving it another go.
Variety reports that "Gangster Squad" writer Will Beall is penning a new draft and interestingly he was actually hired last year while "The Avengers" was filming. Apparently, WB were anticipating the Marvel movie to do big business and wanted to be prepared. Either way, this is big news for comic fans and certainly good for the studio who are also without the ever reliable 'Harry Potter' franchise for the first time in several years. The success of "The Avengers" is certainly an incentive for them to continue pushing forward.
As comic fans know, "Justice League" already came close to being made once already. In 2008 cameras were set to roll on a George Miller directed movie that would have had Armie Hammer as Batman, Adam Brody as The Flash, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, rapper Common as John Stewart/Green Lantern, and Australian supermodel Megan Gale as Wonder Woman. But the script needed one last polish and the late 2007-2008 writer's strike pretty much killed the movie.
And don't expect Christian Bale or Henry Cavill to appear. It's widely been expected that Warner Bros. will cast fresh faces in the roles of Batman and Superman and last year, Zack Snyder revealed that neither "Man Of Steel" or "The Dark Knight Rises" storylines will tie into a proposed "Justice League" movie.
So now that we have a writer, the next step will be a find a director and you can bet everyone will have an opinion on that. It will be a big job as someone will be juggling some extremely iconic characters all at once. It will be interesting to see what names surface...
Travis | June 10, 2012 2:43 PM
What made The Avengers a huge success was the casting of the original actors that launched those roles. Not having Bale or Cavill in Justice League will weaken the quality of the film and result in far less success than what Marvel did.
Write a great script, find a way to get Bale to do it and for the love of god hire Chris Nolan to direct.
Srmorrow | June 9, 2012 11:37 PM
A day late and a dollar short. Gotta love short-sighted corporate greed (yeah, this means you, you hacks at WB) with absolutely no creative vision.

I hope this movie makes it to the big screen. Let's see what will happen.
jonathan | June 6, 2012 10:32 AM
This will fail miserably without the set up of the outlining characters. Try making movies for The Flash and Wonder Woman at least before rolling with this. Disaster waiting to happen.
Ace | June 6, 2012 10:05 AM
Give it to Kevin Smith!
James | June 6, 2012 9:20 AM
This is a dumb idea. The whole reason Avengers was so succesful was that the movies all tied together. Unless you do that what's the point?? Surely WB realise this?
Dan S | June 6, 2012 8:14 AM
WB would be better off making "The Authority" instead.

BOSTON Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown said he's thinking about running for governor of Massachusetts next year.
The Republican told WFXT-TV he hasn't made any decisions, but was going to "keep all options open" about his political future,
"Of course I'm thinking about it," Brown said during the interview Monday night. "I'm thinking about a lot of different things. But right now the best thing I can do for myself and for my piece of mind and I think for the people of Massachusetts is just to hang tight and recharge and be active."
In the interview, Brown said he is learning how to play guitar and speak Spanish while mulling his professional and political options.
Brown, first elected to the Senate in a 2010 special election, was defeated last year by Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren during his re-election bid.
In the interview, Brown blamed his loss in part on President Barack Obama's political coattails in the state. He said he would have done nothing different in his campaign.
Brown also suggested that his decision to not run in the upcoming special Senate election had to with the prospect of having to defend the seat again next year if he won.
Fox News Channel recently hired Brown as a contributor.
During the interview, Brown also blamed what he called a "pocket tweet" for a garbled word he sent out on his Twitter account last month. He said he had tweeted a series of messages before putting the phone in his pocket.
Brown said he was not drunk when the word "Bqhatevwr" appeared on his Twitter account. He said the last time he was drunk was at his bachelor's party nearly three decades ago.
Brown stunned even his fellow Republican Party members last month when he annnounced he would not run for the U.S. Senate seat held until recently by Secretary of State John Kerry. Republicans are now scrambling to secure candidates for the seat, with Rep. Dan. Winslow, Cohasset businessman Gabriel Gomez and former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan gathering nomination signatures. Brown acknowledged he's considering a run for governor.
Brown said that on election night, he knew he had lost to challenger Elizabeth Warren by about 9:30 p.m.
Brown also pushed back at Democratic operative's assertions that his barn coat cost $600, saying it cost $150.

Theme: Emergence
London, United Kingdom
March 28th, 2012
Watch video from the event
About this event
About Emergence
Emergence is fundamentally about patterns and chaos. Events and developments that may seem random, chaotic and unprecedented when seen close at hand take on a new meaning and form when viewed from a distance. The world will never stop changing; new, exciting and potentially troubling phenomena will never stop emerging. Emergence is a process of evolution from the past to the future, encompassing the present.

Confirmed Speakers
Michael Wolff
Michael Wolff is, in his own words 'obsessively interested in everything'. To some he's known for co-founding and leading the London agency Wolff Olins in the 60′s (he left in the 80′s), a company that's helped many great brands to express who they are, in ways that were pioneering. To list the clients he's worked with or his achievements for design in business and in society would not do justice to the designer Michael Wolff. It's Michael's appreciation of things large and small, the constant curiosity which he's maintained throughout his life, as well as his reluctance to be labeled as any one particular type of designer, that makes him the creative extraordinaire that he is. His holistic view of design, and his never ending interest in the world around him, makes us proud to have him introduce TEDxCentralSaintMartins 2012. Michael now runs Michael Wolff & Company which has its base in London and works with a network of talent throughout the world.

Nadia Berthouze is a Senior Lecturer in the UCL Interaction Centre at the University College London. The premise of her research is that emotion and subjective experience should be factored in the design of interactive technology to address the needs of each user group or even those of each individual. Her aim is to create technology that can sense its user's emotional state and use that information to tailor the interaction process. She focuses on body movement as a medium to induce, recognize, and measure the quality of experience of humans interacting and engaging with/through whole-body technology. She is also investigating the various factors that affect such experience, including emotional contagion and cross-cultural differences. Through various funded project (EPSRC Emo&Pain, EPSRC Digital Sensoria, EU-FP7 ILHAIRE), she is addressing the above issues in the clinical, entertainment and textile retail contexts. Dr Berthouze has published more than 100 papers in affective computing, human-machine interaction, and pattern recognition.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio State Bar Association has named its first woman executive director.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Mary Amos Augsburger was unanimously selected last week by the Board of Governors of the lawyers' professional group. She is the first female to hold the post in the organization's 133-year history.
Augsburger begins her new job July 1.
She had been serving as the bar's legislative counsel and previously was chief counsel for the Ohio Senate and Ohio Division of Financial Institutions within the Department of Commerce. She also worked briefly as Auditor Dave Yost's policy director.
Augsburger succeeds Denny Ramey, who is retiring after 33 years.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The City of Wilmington could consider a public private partnership for the future of the Water Street Parking Deck.
City staff and some council members will meet with representatives from UNC School of Government Wednesday. The SOG has a department dedicated to the public private partnerships.
The meeting will provide insight into what the city can and can't do with a private business.
Earlier this month, Wilmington City Manger Sterling Cheatham recommended City Council move forward with repairing the parking deck.
According to a memo, these repairs would allow the city to use the deck for three to five years while the city evaluates their long term plans.
If Council approves the plan, the city will move forward with demolishing the Grace Street entrance ramp, and make temporary repairs to the rest of the structure.

Albany - They work hard to keep you safe, and this week, public safety officials are being honored for all that they do. Wednesday, a barbecue cook off was held for those workers and for them to secure bragging rights.
Hot wings, chicken and ribs, good eating, if it's done right. Graham Stacey says, "Grand champion from last year and second place from 2004, so we've got a little bragging rights to uphold from the winnings of last year and hope we win the grand champion this year."
The Smokin' Guns have the trophies to prove it. Another team we found had trophies too, but we're not exactly sure where they came from.
Andy Exum, with Four Pigs in a Blanket says, "I don't know where they stole those trophies from, probably high school football or something. All our trophies were won out here during the competition."
You're not claiming those are your trophies? "No," says Jack Camp. "It's a display of what's to come in the future for us."
There's a lot of trash talk at the cookout, but there's a deeper meaning. Frank Herndon says, "We take the competition part seriously, but we're out here, we want to feed the officers who are working. Because there are a lot of officers who can't come out here and enjoy this and whether we win or we lose it doesn't matter, but we want to make sure that the officers who can't come out and enjoy it, at least get a taste of it."
Some teams started cooking around 4AM Wednesday. The winners? The Grill Masters.

Anyone else really impressed/surprised by the growth of the Windows 8 app store?
I have windows phone 8 and am really depressed by the growth of the phone platform. I usually jump on the new OS bandwagon just to try it out. IOS when it first came out, Android when it first came out, WebOS as well and then windows phone. I am even tempted to give the new BlackBerry 10. Of all the platforms I have tried out while being brand new, windows 8's app store seems to be growing the fastest. There are already insanely great high quality games, some really cool news readers and tools, and a ton of well known name brand apps. I am using the w510 as a tablet full time, (don't have the keyboard dock yet) and have been really enjoying the plethora of high quality apps. Anyone else using tablets, tablet hybrids, or even windows 8 all in ones enjoying the speed and quality growth of this app store?

Lebanon, OH --- It was the night that the lights went out in Lebanon. Due to "insufficient power from offsite," the opening night racecard at Miami Valley Raceway for Friday (Feb. 7) was postponed.
"We are not getting enough power to the property so we won't be able to race tonight," a track official told the capacity grandstand crowd over the intercom.
The 12-race card was set to begin at 6:30 p.m. At 6:30, after the National Anthem, but before the first post parade, it was announced that racing would be delayed due to an electrical issue. Track officials gave several positive updates over the intercom, stressing that the auxiliary generators needed to be started in order to restore power.
While the crowd waited for racing to begin, they were offered $10 food vouchers and the concession stands remained open. People spent the down time playing cards and watching races from other tracks.
Around 7:05 p.m., all overhead lighting went out in the grandstand, which could hold 1,000 people, according to the track's senior director of marketing, Jeff Nelson. At 7:12 p.m., track officials announced that if the power was not restored by 8 p.m., racing would be postponed.
When the grandstand room went dark, all televisions in the simulcast room were dark as well. A walk into the VLT room revealed that more than 90 percent of the machines were off.
Racing was postponed around 7:52 p.m. Those who wagered on the night's card were offered refunds.
The Friday card is rescheduled for Wednesday (Feb. 12). Saturday's (Feb. 8) card is scheduled to be raced as planned, with first post at 6:30 p.m.

In 2013, NATA and the general aviation community worked tirelessly on numerous provisions negatively affecting general aviation. In 2014, we must remain vigilant and work together to educate the public and especially Members of Congress and their staff on the important role general aviation plays, including its economic value to our country. In addition, we will likely face a number of legislative hurdles this year, which is another reason to reach out to your elected officials and let them know how these issues affect YOU, their constituent.
A tour of your facility is a valuable way to inform key congressional leaders on the principal issues confronting our national air transportation system while allowing you to address other issues affecting your business. This one-on-one interaction will give Members of Congress and their staff a better understanding of the value of America's aviation businesses and airline services companies. In addition, NATA members can introduce their business to new and prospective Members of Congress, and forge stronger relationships with existing Members.
To implement this program at your facility, it is best to schedule a tour when Congress is not in session. Listed below are the tentative dates that Congress will be in recess the rest of this year. Additionally, Congress is often not in session on Mondays and Fridays during the week, so tours could potentially be arranged on those days.
What to Do:
3. When sending out the letter, be sure to send both a hard copy of the letter as well as a fax copy. You can also visit your Senator's or Representative's Web page for an email address. To make sure the letter reaches the proper assistant, it is best to send your letter to both the official's Washington, DC office and the nearest local office.
4. Please provide a copy of your letter to NATA Manager Rebecca Mulholland. Upon receiving a copy of the letter, NATA will call the scheduler for your Member of Congress to ensure that the letter was received and properly routed. This will also enable NATA to gauge the interest of the office and begin the negotiation process. Following this contact, NATA may call you to discuss what steps need to be taken to ensure that your Member of Congress accepts your invitation.
5. After your Member of Congress accepts the invitation, NATA will work with you regarding the actual tour, specific points you will want to make with your Member of Congress, background information on your Member of Congress, the status of current aviation issues, and other issues that may arise. NATA can provide you with applicable fact sheets, white papers and informational handouts to enhance the exchange of information with your Member of Congress.
Thank you in advance for your time in sponsoring a congressional tour. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Rebecca Mulholland at (800) 808-6282 or by email at email@example.com.

Chris Weidman recently pulled out of his scheduled UFC 155 fight against fellow middleweight contender Tim Boetsch after he suffered a torn labrum in training. Weidman's teammate Costa Philippou stepped in to face Boetsch in what still holds as an important bout, although neither man would likely receive a title shot as a result of the new matchup (Philippou in particular). Today Weidman went to Twitter to announce he was headed for the operating table to repair his torn labrum.
Off to get surgery today.Excited to get this over with and get rehabbing and come back stronger then ever.Thanks for the support #godisgood— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) November 28, 2012
As for when he'll return? He answered that fairly promptly.
"@uysijosh: @chrisweidmanufc how long before you can fight again?" I'm told ill be at 100 percent at 4 months if everything goes smoothly.— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) November 28, 2012
So if everything does go smoothly, hopefully he'll be able to fight before 2013 is halfway over. Some important middleweight fights that will take place while Weidman is out include his teammate Philippou fighting Boetsch, Alan Belcher rematching Yushin Okami, Michael Bisping against Vitor Belfort, as well as the impending move from Strikeforce to the UFC for Luke Rockhold, Ronaldo Souza, and Tim Kennedy will likely happen by the time Weidman is all healed up.

River Concert Summons Heroes, Celebrates Nation's Birthday
By Carrie Griffin Munn
As part of the annual River Concert Series hosted by St. Mary's College of Md., vistors were treated to a patriotic show Friday, July 2. The Chesapeake Orchestra led by Music Director Jeffrey Silberschlag offered "Summon the Heroes," a show featuring familiar works by John Williams, George Gershwin and Sousa.
The performance also included Brian Ganz, on piano, the Sax Quartet from "The President's Own Marine Band," and Young Artist Concerto Competition runner-up Ian Chaava. Welcoming all the Independence Day weekend festivities, the orchestra played as fireworks lit the sky over the St. Mary's River and earned the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' of the crowd.
The college's Townhouse Green was jam-packed with concertgoers of all ages. Many enjoyed a picnic or visted vendors offering a wide array of celebratory food and drink. A great time was had by all.
The River Concert Series continues throughout July, with performances each Friday. To find out more about, click here.

Blandford school reunion stirs up memories
PETERSBURG - More than 60 years ago, classmates at a small elementary school may not have known what direction their lives would take or the impact that the school would have on their lives. But after six decades, it's clear that the foundation laid at Blandford Elementary School was a strong one, both in terms of education and friendships.
On Friday night, the boys and girls from Blandford Elementary School, now retired men and women, gathered together at Bethany Baptist Church to share memories, make new ones and to have fun.
Vernon Brown, one of the organizers of the event, said that he hasn't lived in Petersburg since 1954. He said that while talking with a friend and planning a visit to the area, the idea of a reunion of sorts began to take shape.
"During the conversation, we said if just the two of us meet, why don't we try and meet other ex-schoolmates from the 1940s and 1950s," Brown said. "It took us a year to get this together."
Brown said that there were about 70 people expected to attend the event. Near the entrance, photos from the school were displayed, including some of students who attended the school.
Marva Hampton's school photo from the third grade - creased with age - was one of the ones on display near classroom scene photos.
Hampton helped plan the event with Brown. She said last year about 12 people showed up. "We wanted to see how people have been doing," Hampton said.
Hampton said that at the time, Blandford Elementary School was small and a great school where everyone was close. The building, originally built in 1923 with eight classrooms and a principal's office, has been added on to over the years. Currently the building is home to the Petersburg City Public Schools alternative programs.
"It was really more like family, I guess because it was such a small school," Hampton said.
Floyd Henderson said that everyone who went to the school lived in the neighborhood and that all the students knew each other. "I only lived about a block away from the school," Henderson remembered.
Henderson went to Blandford from 1942 to around 1946.
Henderson's father and Willie Powell, a former School Board member, attended a school together that existed before 1923 that was also known as Blandford School. "When they opened the one on Bank Street, they marched the class from the other school to the new one," Henderson said. He said that the previous Blandford School had been located on Madison Street.
Henderson said that by the time he attended the school, there was a need for additional classroom space and there were several outbuildings that were used as classrooms too.
He said that when he was attending the school, it had no cafeteria and instead lunch was at desks in the classroom. "Everybody was from that community. You grew up with them," Henderson said. "The experience was, and I still think, a very good experience. I grew from it, I finished high school, went to college and worked here in the Petersburg school system and was principal of Walnut Hill Elementary School until I retired in 1989. I want to think that being a product of Blandford School really gave me the basis for all that I knew and learned."

Thick walls with 80 towers enclose Nuremberg's old quarter. Kaiserburg Castle, the city's most famous landmark, dates from the 11th century and was home to Germany's kings and emperors for 500 years. In the 20th century, Nuremberg was the site of three of Hitler's biggest rallies, as well as the post-war trials of Nazi leaders. Today, Nuremberg is a major tourism and business destination.

Classifieds for Facebook Users
Oodle just launched a classifieds group on Facebook just in time to help students get rid their stuff at the end of the school year.
Users can specify if they'd like their listings to only be available to their friends and other Facebook users, or if they'd like to share them with the broader local community.
Facebook users: Time to get rid of unwanted items, such as futons, textbooks and bikes. Or to hit up your friends on for extra tickets, rides home or recommendations for new roommates.

Facebook and Friendster Introduce Classifieds - CyberNet News says:
[...] Despite what I originally thought, Facebook isn't doing this on their own. I would have thought it would be beneficial for Facebook to set up their own system where people could buy from others in their own networks. Instead, they've teamed up with Oodle Classifieds which means that you won't exactly be buying from other Facebook users. [...]

January 2010: The Go-To: Dogsledding Along the Quaboag River: Northern Exposure Outfitters
Yes, a leisurely ride in a horse-drawn carriage makes for a lovely excursion. But a winter afternoon spent traversing snow-covered forests and meadows with a spunky band of Alaskan huskies is a wild one. This two-hour adventure, led by the dogsled pros at Northern Exposure Outfitters (headquartered in historic Brookfield near the Quaboag River), allows participants to get in on every step of the experience—from prepping the animals to learning mushing commands to even trying their hand at driving. Once you've been, you'll know just what we mean by "Hike!"
$250 for two people, $100 for each additional rider, $300 for a private mushing lesson; 52 Longhill Rd., Brookfield, 508-867-4396, ne-outfitters.com.

|Patients with elevated transferrin saturation test values should proceed with serum ferritin testing and additional workup as warranted.
|Consistently excessive blood loss will result in a negative iron balance which will result in lowered serum ferritin levels. Iron deficiency is a cause as well as consequence of menorrhagia. Body stores of iron are best reflected by serum ferritin. Ferritin levels will drop before changes in the blood count begin. Anemia may not yet be present when serum ferritin levels are getting low.
|Iron deficiency can cause hair loss in women. Laboratory evidence of such a deficiency may show up on a complete blood count, serum iron or serum ferritin.

Man, is it a beautiful day. Birds are singing, insects are buzzing, squirrels and bunnies are bounding about. The sort of day that can really put things in perspective. Today, I have freed myself of my self-imposed obligation to the Cincinnati Reds.
The last thing I want to bother myself with on such a gorgeous day is another man's hamstring injury. Everyone knows hamstring injuries linger. I refuse to be beholden any longer to a baseball team that cannot bother to put its hurt players on the disabled list. Why should I deign to follow such a team that shows such disregard for me? I celebrate myself, etcetera.
Anyway, I am going on hiatus; from the Reds and consequently from Red Reporter. I am no fair-weather fan. The Reds cannot have fair-weather fans, for there is never any fair weather in their world. I'm not doing this to spite the Reds, I'm doing it out of respect for myself. I'll be back eventually, maybe soon, I don't know. But, like Joey Votto, there is no timetable for my return.
Godspeed, Red Reporters. I love you all. Alright, I love most of you.

A fun night of Americana-infused indie rock!
Purchase tickets for this show here:
The Restoration's members grew up performing in orchestras, choirs, fiddle groups and rock bands in the small town of Lexington, South Carolina. United in 2008, they've used their varied backgrounds as a lens for exploring the music and culture of their native soil, channeling storytelling and regional history through layers of banjo, voice, violin, piano, organ and percussion that fluctuate between tradition and modernity. At the core of this exploration is the band's desire to preserve and enjoy the rich cultural heritage of the South while taking responsibility to acknowledge the problematic history that created it. Despite this detailed focus on the past, the Restoration's compositions are not meant to be period reproductions—nor are discussions of history meant to be contained in their original time and place. Instead, the band wishes to see the tradition of Southern music evolve and take part in a living, contemporary voice—one that uses the mistakes of the past as a guide for the present.
The Restoration's debut album Constance is a multi-generational cautionary tale, told through historical fiction. Set between the late 1800s and 1930s in Lexington, South Carolina, Constance focuses on the fictional Constance Owen, an unrealized musical prodigy born to poor cotton farmers several years after the American Civil War. Her eventual union with Aaron Vale, a carpenter and musician of mixed race from Chicago, and the birth of their son, Thomas, plants a seed of discriminative hate in the surrounding community, bringing about the bankrupting of her family by the affluent Palmers, the related death of her husband, and the burying of her creative aspirations. Years later, Thomas' nihilistic vengeance against the Palmers sets off a cataclysmic series of violent events, as the South and the rest of the world plunge into the Great Depression.
Hailing from Columbia, SC, Marshall Brown plays psychedelic rock music recorded much in the vein of The Beatles and other 1960s bands, using minimal mics and tracks while bouncing tracks on top of each other to layer and create a bigger sound. While so much of his passion goes into the recording process, which he does almost single handedly with the exception of drums, he does gig with a full band to help him flesh out all the complex parts that go into the recordings. His first two full-lengths, sister albums New Moons and High Noons, "showcase an active, zany mind with a wonderfully twisted sense of arrangement and melody fully immersed in the possibilities offered by recording," (Kyle Petersen, Free Times Columbia SC) and are both intended to be enjoyed in a single sitting when you have the time to lay back and go on a journey. Through Vivaldian Colored Glasses is the title of his new album scheduled to be released on February 9th of 2013. This album is split into three different sections. The first single promoting this album, Winter Brings The Spring, is from the '4 seasons' section of the album, which is a little more on the pop side of the spectrum. It can be found, along with his other recordings,at www.marshallbrown.bandcamp.com. The single is also offered as a free download on that site.

Just a couple years ago, no one would have believed it if you said Lubbock's water supply will run out within a decade. But today city leaders are trying to solve a very real threat. How bad is the problem? This is what City Councilman Tom Martin said it would take to solve a crisis at Lake Meredith back in 2003: "Quite frankly it's going to take four hurricanes parking over the Texas Panhandle to be able to fill up Lake Meredith." That comment set the stage over the next two and a half years for what is now the most critical issue facing Lubbock since the turn of the century.
In the early 1900's the windmill made life possible on the arid, sun drenched deserts of the South Plains. Settlers relied on them to add to the area's measley 18 to 20 inches of rainfall each year. Then in 1911, everything changed. The invention of the first irrigation well allowed farmers to tap into the massive Ogallala Aquifer and life would never be the same. Kent Satterwhite, General Manager and Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) says, "I know it has been pumped pretty heavily for decades. There's just not a lot of water left."
The Ogallala stretches eight states and 174,000 square miles making it one of the largest in the world. The irrigation boom began in 1930's and Lubbock turned from desert to farmland. People here thought the water would never run out because it was replenshed from the peaks of the great Rocky Mountains. Jim Conkwright, General Manager of the High Plains Undergound Water Conservation District says, "The best scientific data we can establish indicates that probably 50% of the aquifer still remains."
The Ogallala in fact is only recharged by rain water, mainly through playa lakes and that takes a long time. Enter the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District. Established in 1949, they guard a precious resource. Conkwright says, "We feel like we have been a force in conservation."
|Water Conservation Tips For Around the House
Sadly no amount of conservation can make the Ogallala last forever. With that in mind, Lubbock started planning long term. In 1960, Lubbock joined 11 West Texas cities to finance and build the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority. That helped slow down use of Ogallala water. CRMWA gets its water from two sources.
#1: Lake Meredith. A manmade lake created by the Sanford Dam.
#2: Roberts County well fields; located about an hour Northeast of Lake Merdith.
Satterwhite says, "Every drop of water we supply to this is less groundwater they have to pump. We consider Lake Meredith a renewable resource and we really consider the Ogallala non-renewable."
70% to 80% of lubbock's water flows down a massive pipeline from CRMWA and into the city's water treatment plant. The other 20% to 30% comes from well fields in Bailey County near Muleshoe - and it's a good thing! City Chief Water Planning Engineer, Ches Carthel explains, "About two years ago, the council noticed and brought to our attention that the Lake Meredith level was beginning to drop dangerously low. Satterwhite adds, "We didn't realize it could happen that fast. As the lake water drops, the quality also drops. Seemed like overnight almost we had major problems on our hands."
Now, without any major storms over Lake Meredith's watershed in years, CRMWA cut back water supplied from the lake to member cities like Amarillo, Plainview, and Lubbock. With lake levels still 30 feet below normal, Lubbock city leaders went shopping for water rights. Pointing to a map, Satterwhite explains, "We went from about 42,500 to over 200,000 acres of water."
The green on Satterwhite's map represents Amarillo's water rights, and the pink belongs to oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens. Pickens lives and works in Dallas, but he owns a ranch in the Northern Panhandle. His ideas to sell Panhandle water to large cities downstate have not made him popular. Satterwhite says, "He hasn't been successful at all because it's just so expensive by the time you build a pipeline that far and they have better sources."
If it weren't for what some Lubbock officials call a "missed opportunity" Pickens wouldn't even be part of the equation. "When we first got into the groundwater business, we bought water rights up fairly close to his ranch. It was probably 5 to 10 miles away and then he came to us and said he wanted to sell his too, but we were out of money at the time and cities just didn't want to come up with anymore money at that time," says Satterwhite. Councilman Gary Boren adds, "We could have had some great opportunities for our citizens that were just missed opportunities."
Now Councilman Boren and his colleagues are digging Lubbock out of a hole, trying to secure water for the future. Boren says, "It doesn't have necessarily all the little zing and the political glamour and the glitter that you might want to see, but I tell you it's critical. Our life depends on it, our homes, our investments, our development of our city, our growing our community in this part of the state. We depend on water. Without it, we all perish."
In our next report find out what options and obstacles are facing the city and how much it could cost Lubbock citizens.

Chop asparagus. Lightly steam in pan. Add balsamic vinegar and cumin. Mix together.

Firefighters believed a heating unit may have caused an apartment fire in east Las Vegas on Tuesday.
According to the Clark County Fire Department, crews were called to the Meadow Vista Apartment Complex in the 4500 block of Karen Avenue about 9:52 p.m.
Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from an upstairs unit of a two-story apartment building, CCFD said.
Clark County Fire said crews were able to contain the fire to just one unit.
Officials believed the fire sparked from electrical wiring near the unit's HVAC system.
There were no injuries reported. Damage was estimated at $8,000.

I have over 30 years of experience in woodcarving
Born in the ancient Azerbaijan city of Baku in the former Soviet Union. I began my woodcarving career in 1978 at the Azerbaijan College of Fine Art.
Also continued formal schooling at the University of
Architecture in Baku, where studied various other styles of woodworking,
Including Gothic, Rococo, Empire and Classicism.
While at the University, I began working at the Special
Scientific Restoration Workshop, where helped restore antique museum
furniture dating to the 15th century and also took part in the restoration
of the Old Town of Baku City, where I designed and carved elaborate doors and windows for buildings in the city, which dates to the 12th Century.
Took top awards at that year in International Woodcarvers Congress, repeated the two following years. Was the Grand Prize Winner of the 1996 and 1999 Create-A-Clock Contest in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Also took first place in "Design in Wood", in San Diego, CA. Best of Show in "Artistry in Wood" 2007 Dayton OH,
Best of show in Artisan Guild Gallery, MO in 2008….
Perhaps greatest honor yet came during the Pope John Paul II historic visit to St. Louis in 1999. I was asked by the Archdiocese of St. Louis to help restore pieces in the Archbishop's residence in preparation for the Pope's visit. I expertly fulfilled this request and also most generously gifted a magnificent walnut hand-carved chair to the Archbishop's Residence for the Holy Father's visit.
I and my work have been featured on HGTV (Modern Masters),
Cable Vision, KSDK, as well as in a number of local and national newspaper
and magazine articles, including St. Louis Magazine (Nov. 1998 and Feb.
2006), St. Louis at Home (Nov. 2005) St.Louis Business Journal

The Houston Texans are bringing one of the better defenses in the NFL to Maryland on Sunday to take on the Baltimore Ravens. In turn, the Ravens also have one of the best defenses in the league and it's build around inside linebacker Ray Lewis. Lewis is a 13-time Pro Bowler and has been arguably the best player at his position since his rookie year in the NFL. Lewis sees a little bit of himself in Texans inside linebacker Brian Cushing.
"I just think he plays with a very, very, very high motor," Lewis told the Houston Chronicle. "It's one special thing that every linebacker, a good linebacker, has to have. And that is one thing that I appreciate about the way he plays football." Cushing took the compliment highly, since he idolized Lewis coming up in football. "[Lewis] told me to stay healthy and to keep doing what I'm doing," Cushing told the Houston Chronicle. "Any chance I get to talk to him and pick his brain, I do. ... He's the No. 1 guy I watched. I've always looked up to him."
Both players certainly play with a relentless attitude and with violence. Both are the tone setters for their respective defenses.

Do you want to be happy? Then turn off your phone!
A new study says the secret to happiness is concentrating on your friends and family rather than texts and emails.
They also say unless people change their behavior, they could suffer mental illness.
