WOW! These guys can bring the house down! I had guest of all ages at our reception, everyone of them made it to the dance floor! What a dynamic duo Brett and Lola are!
If you are lucky to book them for your event, this is what would happened. Your guests would not stop talking about them. You would no have a second of empty dance floor the entire night. Their music and vocals are amazing! So go ahead and book them today. You would enjoy every minute of it!

As the mother of the bride, I was a little leery of this band as I hadn't heard of them since they are from the West Coast of Florida. But, let me tell you, I was bowled over my Brett, Lola, the sax player, the drummer and the entire band. Their professionalism, charisma and talent far surpassed my expectations. They were extremely responsive and knew how to read the crowd. Everyone was up and dancing the entire night. I loved them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again for another function. Thanks again. You are the best!!!!!!

The Brett Foreman Band is AMAZING and so wonderful to work with! Brett played during our beach ceremony and allowed my cousin, who was singing a song during the ceremony, to borrow one of his guitars. Brett also played steal drums during cocktail hour, which ended with the saxophone player. The Band was absolutely perfect during the reception- our First Dance, "You Are The Best Thing," was played better than the radio version! The Brett Foreman Band played such a variety of music throughout the whole night, and multiple guests told us it was the best band they had ever heard. On top of all of that, Brett was such a pleasure to work with, learning new songs for us with kindness and excitement. We would recommend the Brett Foreman Band without a doubt- they are WONDERFUL!

BEST BAND EVER! I went to a wedding where Brett performed and I loved it so much when I got engaged I immediately booked them. It was one of the best decisions I made for the ENTIRE wedding. Everyone raved about the band at the wedding including my father in law. The music they played was so amazing no one wanted to get off the dance floor. It was a total party all night long and people said they had never danced so much before. They are absolutely, hands down, 100% the best band in the SWFL area for an event especially a wedding. Brett was so easy to work with and coordinate everything. If you have to spend your money on something spend it on them.

Rest up your dancing feet because when you listen to the Brett Foreman Band, you will just feel like dancing! For our daughter's wedding, we booked this band and they were fantastic! They had our guests dancing all night! They were also able to coordinate their music with what was happening at the time - softer and slower for dinner and then explosive for the rest of the evening. They played a variety of songs that appealed to the wide age range of people that were present. Loved, loved, loved them!

Our Florida wedding was almost a week ago and my friends and family are still talking about the "fantastic" band...Brett was amazing. The 2 songs we wanted at our beach ceremony were not a part of his repertoire , so he LEARNED them for us..Unbelievable is all I can say! From the sweet beauty of ceremony songs to the big reveal when LaPlaya staff pulled back the sound wall to the full band ready to rock...the music was magical. Brett was engaging and connected to our group and the entire band made it truly a party to remember. Our friends are dancers...and DANCE they did...we had a full dance floor for every song. There are not enough stars to adequately rate the Brett Foreman Band! Our group ranged in age from 78-2 and there was music for ALL!

Brett was great from the first moment I spoke with him to book him for our wedding. He was so accomodating and easy to work with. We had Brett play on the steel drum during the ceremony and cocktail hour and it added a very tropical feel to our wedding. Then we had the full band play at the reception. Our guests sang to the music with the band and danced all night which truly made our wedding a great time! The guests can't stop talking about how much fun the party was and how amazing everyone in the band was. If you want a great party and to dance all night, definitely call the Brett Foreman Band. They will not dissapoint and will make your day just as fun and special as mine.

This band made our wedding spectacular. Eight months later and what I still hear most about that day was (1) how nice an idea a vacation to the beach in the middle of the winter was and (2) how incredible our band was.
Brett & his band learned two new songs for us, I think at least one in just the week before our wedding, and they both blew me away. They are just outstanding all around. We had a small wedding (around 45 total) and I was afraid a band might be overkill, but I was completely wrong. Uncles I never dreamed would ever dance were dancing. There are so many amazing photographs of my grandma busting a move with all her granddaughters. They're all spectacular, but our group in particular could not get enough of the amazing saxophone player.
I just cannot say enough good things about this group. Hire them. Today.

Brett Foreman Band is awesome! We hired the band for our wedding in Marco Island. We planned the wedding from Chicago. The band was extremely accomidating and very easy to work with. Music was very important to us; we were blown away by the talent and atmosphere that was created. Every guest was on the dance floor and raved about the music and selection. They played music for every generation, including very current alternative, pop and dance. They played steel drums during the cocktail hour, acoustic guitar and saxaphone. I would highly reccomend this band.

We cannot begin thank Brett, Lola, and the entire Brett Foreman band enough for playing at our wedding! The song selection, instrumentals, and vocals were outstanding! We wanted a party with a lot of dancing; between the steel drums during cocktail hour to the fabulous dance party at the reception, you kept the dance floor full all night! Our guests were raving about how great you all were! The best testament to that is the fact that everyone wanted to stay longer! YOU GUYS ROCKED! Everyone had such a great time and you really kept the vibe up! We were beyond thrilled and you far exceeded all our hopes for our wedding reception. Please pass along our most sincere gratitude to your phenomenal band. Jamie and I can't thank you all enough. We would be thrilled to provide a reference to any future clients.
Warmest regards,

Two of Merrill's Winterfest events are being rescheduled due to the cold and age of participants, but their dog sled races managed to continue and embrace the frosty air. The cardboard sled races and the snow sculptures were moved to February 22 because the event was intended for young children.
"I just love it. I'm hooked," said Professional Musher, Michaela Marquardt with the Wisconsin Trailblazers Sled Dog Club.
She's has been racing for the past seven or eight years. She found her passion for the sport at this very race years ago.
"I came up here, met some people and they helped me out, they started me up and it's just taken off to a whole new level now," she said.
What normally is a 10-mile race was shortened to four miles due to high, cold winds on Saturday.
"This is a speed race," said Merrill Winterfest Sled Dog Races Marshal, Duane Dittmar. "This is not a distance race like the Iditarod. These dogs will be running fast. They average 20 miles per hour."
The dogs start training when temperatures hit 50 degrees, so around August or September, and start learning how to race when they're about seven months old.
"We stick an older dog that's used to running, knows what it's doing," said Marquardt. "We'll stick it next to the young pup and the older dog actually does most of the teaching for us."
Many mushers said once the dogs learn to run, that's all they want to do.
"What I really like is the dogs are so excited to go and they're barking and once they get going they're just silent and just go," said spectator Bob Swoboda of Wausau. "I like when they're getting ready to go they're leaping in the air getting ready."
"A lot of people that have never been to a sled dog race, they think we force the dogs to do this," said Marquardt. "We don't at all. They love to do this, they're bred for it. They just get so excited and just want to run. They don't want to be sitting inside on the couch a lot. These dogs hate being inside. They want to be outside, run around. This is what they love, this is what they're bred for."
As any team would have a connection to each player, mushers said they share a special bond with their dogs.

ANOTHER Taylor Swift Announcement? This One Goes Out to All You Shoe Addicts
…and cat lovers.
Just when you thought the world couldn't handle any more T. Swift news (the album launch! the new single! that video!), the flaxen-haired songstress has just one more announcement: She's come out with a brand-new Keds sneaker called the Sneaky Cat!
Taylor's long been Keds' front woman, but this is the first pair that pays homage to her love of felines (see that adorable little head popping up?) and to her new album, 1989. Her birthday is inscribed in gold on the heel, and the sneaker launch will coincide with the album drop in October. Want to be the first to grab a pair? Sign up for the pre-order list on the Keds website…and then put on your patience hat.
Are you excited for Taylor's Sneaky Cat launch? Will you be adding this kitschy-cool style to your back-to-school sneaker stash? Tell us in the comments!

protect it, and the rights of each participant in the event that the other participant does not meet its obligations to ensure protection for the intellectual property. Agreements also should include provisions and procedures for payment of compensation to inventors and authors of other types of intellectual property.
Agreements should cover procedures for submission of patent applications to the national patent agencies of each party involved. Patent applications concerning inventions created on the territory of a given party should first be submitted to the patent agency of that party's country.
Agreements also should address that the transfer of assets involving elements of intellectual property from one party's country to another party's country for the purpose of joint activities under the contract. Furthermore, agreements should specify that this transfer must not violate the legal rights of any third parties in the country from which the transfer is made. They also should specify that any complaints lodged by third parties regarding the transfers will be the responsibility of the participant which made the transfer.
The U.S. technology commercialization experience with which the Russian delegation familiarized itself appears in many respects to be applicable to Russia. For instance, as a result of the Bayh-Dole Act, U.S. patent legislation allows the rights to inventions created by national laboratories and universities to be acquired not only by the U.S. government, national laboratories, and universities, but also by nongovernmental investors who have provided funds for the creation and commercialization of technologies. As noted above, the Patent Law of the Russian Federation, which stipulates that rights to inventions created using federal budget funds be assigned to any individuals invested in the creation and commercialization of the technology, does not include the possibility of assigning rights to these inventions to the state. For this reason, the Patent Law of the Russian Federation is not as universal as the patent legislation of the United States.
The United States has experience in creating the necessary conditions for financing the entire process of producing and utilizing technologies, including conducting basic research and experimental design work, preparing test models (prototypes), launching mass production, and selling the products. Unfortunately, application of this experience to Russia largely is hindered by the economic crisis, which has resulted in limited willingness to use new technologies, and by the insufficiency of state financing.

We are the moms and dads and sons and daughters of the National Rifle Association--and we want to prevent Newtown, not take advantage of it. That's what out opponents do. They use tragedy to restrict freedom--and it's up to us to stop them. Cox had to pause to allow a 30 second standing ovation die down in the middle of his remarks. NRA Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre followed Cox with brief remarks of his own, pointing to the "vicious effort to attack the Second Amendment and demonize lawful gun owners." "They've called gun owners about every rotten, lousy, nasty, evil name in the book, in judgmental tones that quite honestly most Americans resent," LaPierre declared. "People like you all over this country have stood up to that nonsense, and NRA members... we've stared them down." LaPierre pointed out that amid all the vitriol, those attacking the NRA have yet to offer serious solutions to prevent another tragedy like the Sandy Hook school shooting. He countered that "the NRA has stepped forward with meaningful solutions that would actually help keep people safer." These solutions include "protecting schools as much as we protect our jewelry."

Confusing The Wind: The Burj Khalifa, Mother Nature, and the Modern Skyscraper
2010, Vol. 2 No. 01 | pg. 1/4 | »
If you happen to check in to the Grand Hyatt San Francisco on a windy day, you'll receive a friendly note at the front desk advising you that the 35-story skyscraper may creak a bit as it moves gently back and forth in the wind. Though the hotel assures guests that this quirk is not an indication of any structural problem, the issue has nevertheless prompted complaints from visitors.
"The building CREAKS!" exclaims one exasperated and sleepless customer in his review of the hotel.1
"It sounds like you're on an old ship," writes another.2
From the disconcerting to the dangerous, wind has always been an important consideration when constructing skyscrapers. Since the 10-story steel-frame Home Insurance Building, the world's first skyscraper, opened in Chicago in 1885, architects have had to think about wind stress, or "wind loading," as they've built higher and higher.3 Today, wind engineering is an integral aspect in the design of any new tall building, especially the very tallest of them all: the Burj Khalifa.
At 2,717 feet, the Burj Khalifa, formerly known as the Burj Dubai, rises like a bolt of lightening into the sky, dwarfing the surrounding skyscrapers. The tower, which opened on January 4th, became the world's tallest building, outdoing the previous record-holder, the Taipei 101, by a staggering 1,046 feet. (The Burj is about as tall as the Taipei 101 with the Chrysler building stacked on top.) Over half a mile from the base to the tip of its spire, the tower redefines the term "supertall," a name often applied to skyscrapers over 1,000 feet.
The Burj Khalifa is specially designed to conquer the wind, a goal that becomes more and more important as altitude increases. The building rises to the heavens in several separate stalks, which top out unevenly around the central spire. This somewhat odd-looking design deflects the wind around the structure and prevents it from forming organized whirlpools of air current, or vortices, that would rock the tower from side to side and could even damage the building. Even with this strategic design, the 206-story Burj Khalifa will still sway slowly back and forth by about 2 meters at the very top.
The Burj Khalifa's talent for "confusing the wind," as chief structural engineer Bill Baker calls it, is just one of the methods used to help supertalls resist wind stress.4 Over four thousand miles away near the coast of Taiwan, stands the Taipei 101 tower, now a distant second at 1,667 feet. Inside, between the 88th and 92nd stories, a giant pendulum, known as a tuned mass damper, does quiet battle with deadly windstorms and typhoons. The gold-colored, 730-ton orb swings gently back and forth, balancing the tower against the forces of the wind and ensuring the comfort of its occupants.5
The tuned mass damper, also used in Boston's John Hancock Building and New York City's Citigroup Center, is a commonly employed mechanism for reducing the wind's action on a skyscraper. The size and shape of the damper is "tuned" based on the height and mass of each particular tower. As the wind pushes the building in one direction, the damper swings or slides the other way, reducing sway similar to the way shock absorbers on a car soften bumps in the road. "You're adding a component to the building that's going to take the motion rather than the building itself," explains Jason Garber, a wind-engineering specialist at RWDI, a leading wind tunnel testing firm.6
When constructing a skyscraper, consideration of the wind is paramount, says Carol Willis, director and curator of the Skyscraper Museum in New York.7 Throughout the design process, structural engineers and wind specialists work meticulously to alleviate wind stress, ensure structural stability and guarantee the comfort of occupants. Using both structural solutions, such as the Burj Khalifa's method of "confusing the wind," and mechanical ones, such as the tuned mass damper, designers do constant battle against the tireless wind.
The Burj Khalifa, says Bill Baker, is like a Swiss watch, every part working together to "resist the forces of nature such as wind, seismic and gravity." Yet forces like gravity are comparatively simple to deal with. Gravitational forces pull the skyscraper in only one, quite predictable, direction: down. But high-altitude winds swirl and jostle in complex and uncertain ways, whipping into eddies and vortices that put all different kinds of stress on the structure.
As Garber explains it, a building is like "a giant sail" with a great deal of area that the wind can push against. "The wind is blowing on the building causing it to sway and twist," he says. "For certain shapes, the wind can form a wake similar to what you'd see behind a boat with vortices shedding off, alternating on either side and pushing the building from side to side."8
"This causes a regular, or periodic, force," continues Garber, "that pushes the building side to side across from the wind flow. The frequency at which that happens will vary with wind speed and if those vortices can align with the frequency that the building wants to oscillate at then you can get some very larges forces developed."
Like a guitar string, buildings have a natural, or resonant, frequency at which they are inclined to vibrate. Wind vortices will only have a significant effect on a building when their frequency lines up just right, just as an opera singer has to hit the perfect pitch to shatter a wine glass. If by chance the vortices happen to push back and forth at the same rate as the structure's resonant frequency, they can generate huge forces, as was the case in the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940. As a result of this effect, a key goal in skyscraper design is to disrupt the organized flow of wind around the building.Continued on Next Page »

Mountain Vista Campground
[ 1/10 ]
Trying to find the park was quite difficult; even after 5 calls to the park. The address listed is not valid for GPS Units and took us way out of the way. Staff was rude, telling us they have "disclaimer on their website" not to use GPS. Eileen answered the campground's phone and gave us the wrong directions. It was a nightmare. Then the young kid on staff told us that the "Woodalls directory" as all we needed for adequate directions -- even though it does not give a valid street address. Poor signage (found 1 sign posted ground level). The "Park Rules" do not let you use your washer & dryer, a whole lot of restrictions, time limit for "free wireless," no heaters, outside refrigerators, flood lights, bug lights, or more than two strands of lights are allowed. It's not like we were going to use all these things but we've never been to an expensive campground that put such limitations on the guest. At $47 per night, there's got to be a much better deal out there. Save yourself a headache and avoid the rude staff -- go elsewhere!

Nice campground for families; easy to locate. Staff was friendly. Only drawback was that the pool and hot tub, which drew us to this park, closed way too early. Expensive considering we could not utilize the amenities.
Salisbury, Massachusetts
Beach Rose RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
What a gem! Clean and secure; close to the Atlantic Ocean. We arrived late on the first night and they would not accommodate us which was the only disappointment, no late check in. But the RV park is one of the nicest we've ever been to in so far as cleanliness. You won't be disappointed for $35 per night.

I would be very upset if my daughter 1. Did not feel safe in talking to me about this. 2. if she killed my grandbaby. I firmly believe in not crying over spilled milk. With help from her parents she can become successful and be a good parent. I do not mean Grandma raises the baby but rather assist her in learning how to be a parent. It is the same thing families have done for generations. And nothing less than many parents would do if after marriage their daughter had a baby.
That is because they weren't having traditional sex. They were having oral and laughing how even the president said it was not really sex. "I did not have sex with that woman"

tively more frequent (e.g., Cheney and Seyfarth, 1977; Shopland and Altmann, 1987). Within groups, adult females form clear dominance hierarchies that are predominantly stable both within and across generations as juvenile daughters assume the "family rank" about a year before menarche. Dominance rank in males, in contrast, is much more highly dependent on size and strength and is highly age dependent and unstable (Alberts et al., in press; Packer, 1979; Packer et al., 2000).
The larger African carnivores—leopards, lions, and hyenas—prey on baboons and are a particular a risk at night. In each habitat where they are found, members of a baboon group sleep close together either on cliff edges or high in those trees in their habitat that would be the most difficult for a predator to climb. Of the two major tree species in Amboseli, for example, baboons prefer fever trees, Acacia xanthopholea, to umbrella trees, A. tortilis; fever tree branches are higher off the ground, smoother, and more vertical. For baboons the distribution of sparsely scattered nighttime roosts, as well as of potable water and food resources, affects patterns of encounters between groups, daily travel, and seasonal variability in these patterns. In Amboseli, baboons of the fully wild-foraging groups awaken and descend from their sleeping trees shortly after dawn. For the next 11 to 12 hours, they spend almost 75 percent of their time foraging—feeding or traveling to food—across their short-grassland savannah habitat, approximately 10 percent socializing, and the remainder resting, often in a midday siesta.
Baboon infants weigh a little less than 1 kg at birth. In the first few months of life the infant clings to its mother's ventrum and thereby obtains continuous nipple access and transportation during the 8 to 10 km of daily travel. Gradual nutritional and locomotor independence develops during the next year until the infant's mother conceives again when the infant is about 18 months old and weighs approximately 3 to 4 kg. Although adult male baboons are approximately double the body mass of adult females, infant and juvenile females are very close in size to their male age peers, and almost all of the sexual dimorphism in body size arises during an adolescent growth spurt in males after females reach menarche between 4 and 5 years of age.
To analyze baboon life histories and life history variability, we used data collected from 1971 to 1999 for approximately 600 individuals living in completely wild-foraging groups of baboons (Alberts and Altmann, 2003). We constructed life tables with 1-year age classes and the corresponding survivorship and fertility entries of a population projection matrix, shown for females in Table 6-1 and males in Table 6-2. The tables also

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.
Pamela Colman Smith
Duino Castle near Trieste, Italy. It was here that Rilke began writing the Duino Elegies in 1912. He would later claim to have heard the famous first line of the Elegies as a voice in the wind while walking along the cliffs that loom over the northern Adriatic Sea
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it is the exact opposite.
When I was one-and-twentyI heard a wise man say,"Give crowns and pounds and guineasBut not your heart away;Give pearls away and rubiesBut keep your fancy free."But I was one-and-twenty,No use to talk to me.When I was one-and-twentyI heard him say again,"The heart out of the bosomWas never given in vain;'Tis paid with sighs a plentyAnd sold for endless rue."And I am two-and-twenty,And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.A.E. Housman, When I Was One and Twenty

A cloudless night like this
Can set the spirit soaring:
After a tiring day
The clockwork spectacle is
Impressive in a slightly boring
Eighteenth-century way.
It soothed adolescence a lot
To meet so shamelesss a stare;
The things I did could not
Be so shocking as they said
If that would still be there
After the shocked were dead
Now, unready to die
Bur already at the stage
When one starts to resent the young,
I am glad those points in the sky
May also be counted among
The creatures of middle-age.
It's cosier thinking of night
As more an Old People's Home
Than a shed for a faultless machine,
That the red pre-Cambrian light
Is gone like Imperial Rome
Or myself at seventeen.
Yet however much we may like
The stoic manner in which
The classical authors wrote,
Only the young and rich
Have the nerve or the figure to strike
The lacrimae rerum note.
For the present stalks abroad
Like the past and its wronged again
Whimper and are ignored,
And the truth cannot be hid;
Somebody chose their pain,
What needn't have happened did.
Occuring this very night
By no established rule,
Some event may already have hurled
Its first little No at the right
Of the laws we accept to school
Our post-diluvian world:
But the stars burn on overhead,
Unconscious of final ends,
As I walk home to bed,
Asking what judgment waits
My person, all my friends,
And these United States.
About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well, they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
W. H. Auden

Growing up in a small Texas town, taxidermy was never "in" or "out", it just was. I wonder how much longer it will remain en vogue? As for me, it will always be a part of who I am and where I come from. Oh, and also, it only counts if you killed it yourself, otherwise I believe it is a bit cowardly.

"Fun Halloween themed card. Layout allows for more of your original photo to show, love that! Orange glitter look on back is a cute touch. My family was thrilled to receive this card!"
"The quality of these cards was astounding, and the pictures and colors were breathtaking!! Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how much they loved the cards. The square, tri-fold design is chic and is what makes the card unique. I appreciated all the reminders from tiny prints about the extra postage required for square cards. (Within the USA it's 66 cents.) I wasn't aware of the option for "modified rectangular envelopes" until I had completed my order. I would absolutely recommend these cards to everyone!! They're gorgeous!!"
"We did a collage for our Puppy and it worked out perfectly. Also, the quality of the card and color was more than great! Thanks a lot!"
"This card was cute and simple, being the talk of all of my friends when they recieved the card in the mail. Would highly recommend! Very pleased with the product."
"I chose my kids' favorite costume pictures and uploaded them to the website (very easy) and voila, an awesome card. Everyone who has seen it loves it; it's to the point withouth wasting too much paper on the message. Just love it!"

Making Connections and Networking for a Coordinated Community Response
What are the basics of effective outreach and where to start when building relationships in your community? All too often faith leaders and advocates describe how difficult it is to engage in the community work of responding to domestic violence. This webinar will discuss and explore overcoming obstacles of engagement, strategies for success and practical expectations to address violence in your community. This webinar will showcase successful models for networking and provide you with skills for your own community setting.
Roundtable: 16 Days of Activism from a Faith Perspective
16 days of Activism (Nov. 25-Dec. 10) is an international movement to address the impact of gender-based violence around the world. This annual event is a dynamic way for activists to bring awareness, take action, as well as share their strategies, challenges and successes. Join us to discuss how faith communities can participate. Topics for discussion:
Men's Role in Ending Violence
The work of ending domestic violence requires everyone's participation. Because a large majority of offenders are men and a large majority of victims are women, men have a particular role in ending domestic violence. This webinar will explore the ways in which men can educate others in their families and communities in order to effect change and join the movement to end domestic violence.
Interim Ministers and After-Pastors: What You Need to Know
Faith leaders who take on the challenge of helping to heal a community following an incident of clergy misconduct may face conflict, confusion, and mistrust.
Thanks to the InFaith Community Foundation (formerly Lutheran Community Foundation) for sponsoring webinars in 2012 and 2013.

While the Pittsburgh Panthers could not get the West Virginia Mountaineers on the schedule this season, they did get the Mount St. Mary Mountaineers.
The Panthers played wonderfully to open the season and get the win by an 80-48 tally.
Talib Zanna scored 20 points on 10-12 shooting to lead the Panthers while Tray Woodall added 14 points.
"The guys did pretty good passing the ball," Zanna said. "We just came out focused and ready to go."
In the first half of the game, the Panthers seemed in control, however Mount St. Mary's used their 3-point shooting to remain in the game. In fact Mount St. Mary's missed their first 3-point shot with just under nine minutes in the first half.
Zanna was a force in the first half as the Panthers passed the ball to him in high-percentage situations and he scored 12 in the first half, while Woodall added 10 points.
The Panthers shot 75 percent as a team in the first half and eventually took a 42-27 lead at the half as Mount St. Mary's cooled off from three and shot 36 percent during the game's first 20 minutes.
The Panthers continued their teamwork in the second half, putting Mount St. Mary's away. The Panthers defense, which often struggles to start the season, came to this game ready to play. They played efficiently in the second half and were able to create separation with their teamwork and defense.
The defense threw off Mountaineers head coach Jamion Christian who was coaching his first college game.
"When you look at Pitt defensively and you have two seven footers, the driving lanes aren't there," Christian said. "Sometimes when they aren't there, it's like smoke and mirrors. It looks like they aren't there but then when you get there, it's the boogeyman waiting for you."
The Panthers shot 66.7 percent in the second half and 70.8 percent for the game, a school record.
The Panthers next play Monday at 6 p.m. against Fordham in the NIT Season Tip-off.
Of note:
1. Cam Wright scored eight points in his 17 minutes of play. His father lost his battle to brain cancer earlier in the morning and Wright elected to play.
2. Chris Jones and Aron Nwankwo are expected to redshirt according to Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon.
3. Lamar Patterson was the only player of the nine Panthers who played who did not score a point.
4. Both John and Durand Johnson did not play tonight due to illness.
5. 8,928 fans attended the game. The Pitt women's basketball game ended around 12:30 and upon leaving at 1:50 there was already a small line of Oakland Zoo fans. The Zoo had its usual seating, however it also filled up under both baskets.
In my opinion:
This is the most prepared the Panthers have been this season. There was no more of the "it's too early" excuse. The defense was exceptional this early in the season forcing 16 turnovers. The Panthers had 13 assists against eight turnovers. They were unselfish. This was an important game for Trey Ziegler. He was a big disappointment in both exhibition games and in this game he had 11 points in 20 minutes. Dante Taylor got two fouls upon coming in the first half and that combined with Zanna having a solid game limited him. Pitt prepared for this game by studying the VCU Rams from last season and it paid off. Already Pitt has been called "The Boogeyman" and "Noah's Ark," and we are just one game into the regular season. If Pitt can put all of the pieces to the puzzle together, this team could be scary, and this city needs a winner.
Bonus videos:
1. This video features Tray Woodall, Talib Zanna and Cam Wright's news conference following the game.
2. This second video provides my view of the tip-off and opening possession of the Panthers regular season. The mood was so festive that I even took a second to show my water bottle which was shaking:

How to Become a Cardiothoracic Surgeon
You will need:
- to study a premedical degree (4 years) then
- study another 4 years at medical school followed by
- a 5-year general surgery residency, and after that
- a 2-year cardiothoracic surgery residency
After that you may also want to do further fellowships. It is a competitive residency, so you will have to have to do very well in medical school to be selected.
The cardiothoracic surgeon salary:
A cardiothoracic surgeon's salary in private practice is up to $500,000 or more per year depending on how much you choose to work, of course. Cardiothoracic surgery is not for the faint-of-heart. Long years of training, long hours of working, studying, and long hours of surgery requiring intense focus both during residency as well as during your years of practicing as a cardiothoracic surgeon. Cardiothoracic surgeon salary = $500,000+ per year.
What is cardiothoracic surgery?
Cardiac surgery involves surgery to the heart and large blood vessels.
Thoracic surgery involves surgery to the lungs and any other structures within the chest cavity.
Cardiac and thoracic surgery are separate surgical specialties in some countries while in other countries, like the USA and the UK, they are usually grouped together.
Watch this video of a cardiothoracic surgeon opening up a patient's chest cavity:
The heart has intrigued mankind throughout history, ascribing to the heart a number of mystical and spiritual attributes, the heart has always occupied a place as an organ in the human body elevated above all the other organs. To some extent rightly so as the heart (like the brain) is a vital organ. If the heart stops functioning, the person will soon lose consciousness and will die within minutes without medical intervention. In the early days of surgery, it was very difficult to perform surgery on the heart. There was a high mortality (death rate), but two advances in surgery changed that dramatically:
The development of the heart-lung machine – a medical apparatus that can take over the functions of the heart for a number of hours (operated by a perfusionist) giving the heart surgeon hours of time to operate on the heart with very little or no bleeding.
The development of mechanisms to cool down the temperature of the heart during the surgical procedure – giving the cardiac surgeon extra hours to perform quality surgery on a motionless heart, and then warming the heart again and "restarting" the pumping functions of the heart.
The following is a quote from one of the pioneers in the field of cardiothoracic surgery. Nicholas T. Kouchoukos, M.D. "If you are a student or resident with intelligence, drive, and stamina, who loves challenges, hard work and positive outcomes, who is results-oriented, loves working with your hands as well as your brain, and enjoys caring for others and interacting with highly competent physicians and other health care professionals, you should strongly consider becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon…" Click here for full article.

Sohair said:2014-10-29 02:22:37At what point during this long journey does one get paid? Also is it REALLY possible for a woman to balance her life and family along with becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon? What's the next best thing after cardiothoracic surgery that may not take as long but is similar and just as meaningful, and pays well?

Tatiana said:2014-07-31 06:46:33How many hours a week& day do you work?
Eddie Rego said:2014-07-28 10:15:05How many hours would you expect to work per week? Could you potentially take lower pay for lower hours? Lastly, is the stereotype true that cardiothoracic surgeons are always on call (aka, waking up in the middle of the night to perform surgery)? No need to fluff the answers, I am determined to go enter this field, nonetheless!

This is a good pillow for a stomach sleeper. In general, you should buy the soft one if you are a stomach sleeper, the medium one if you are a back sleeper, or the firm one if you are a side sleeper. I am a stomach sleeper, so I bought the soft one. At first I was worried that it was still too thick as it pretty well fills up my king size pillowcases, but it compresses to an appropriate thick for a stomach sleeper like me. I probably would like it even better if it was a little thinner, but with that being said, I have not had neck or back pain. It's also good to remember that the pillow is only one part of the equation. My wife and I replaced our old mattress that had developed divots where we sleep with a new very firm Simmons mattress (a very firm mattress has very little of the foam padding, which is the first part to wear out in my experience). We combined this very firm mattress with a 3" all-natural botanical latex topper. This has worked very well for us. I also like separating the topper from the mattress so that if one part wears out, we just replace that, rather than having to get a whole new mattress just because the foam layers are starting to wear out and develop divots. Our new topper did not fix our old mattress, it simply filled the contours of our old lumpy mattress. But on a new flat mattress, it is wonderful. I hope sharing my experience with the various factors that you need to take into account will help you to make an informed decision. There's nothing more frustrating than spending a lot of money on mattresses and pillows and still not sleeping any better -- hopefully my experience of what has worked for me and what hasn't will save you some cash and sleepless nights.
I had recently discovered latex pillows and purchased one from Overstock which I loved, but which was way too plump to actually sleep on (but great for propping up to read or watch TV in bed). I was unaware that they came in soft, medium, & firm versions - so it was my error not to check. I realized I preferred a soft latex pillow for sleeping, one more squooshy and flat - and when I saw this one online I ordered it. I was not disappointed - it's excellent!! Very comfy, but more piable and flatter than the firm one I'd ordered originally. This is the perfect pillow for a stomach steeper, or a side sleeper. I purchased a king size one so I could use it as a body pillow - it's fantastic!! Supports your neck, but is also soft and pillowy.....all in all I love this pillow and just purchased another!!!
There are plenty of customer reviews for this particular pillow and none more are needed. I bought it based on the 12 customer reviews, all of which gave it a 5-star except one. I give it a 5-star, too, and would even give it a 10-star on a scale of 10. It's a terrific SOFT pillow, next to impossible to find. The sensation is incredibly comfortable and luxurious. I feel as if I'm floating on a pink cloud, somewhere over Shangri-la, when I wake up!! My recommendation now goes to Overstock.com: be sure to keep this pillow available and restock, when you run out of it. :-)
Only buy this pillow if you are looking for a very soft pillow, perhaps for a stomach sleeper, or for someone who really doesn't need a pillow at all. It is lightweight and thin density and falls flat upon laying on it. It has no weird odors, which is the only benefit I saw in it. Also buyer beware, this pillow is considered "non-returnable," which is ridiculous when you are making such a subjective purchase, buying a pillow on-line, and can't test it for yourself ahead of time.
I ordered 2 pillows soft latex foam they sent me one firm and one soft I sent one back and they did it again firm sent it back again same thing happened this is the third try I pray they get it right
Love these pillows. After purchasing two for my bed, I reordered two more for the guest bedroom. The pillow provide support and at the same time are soft enough that I can ball and nestle my neck into and then they bounce right back. Great pillows!!! I have been looking for these for years.
I really love these pillows with one small caveat. They actively try to pull my pillowcase off themselves. Something about the friction between my pillowcase and the washable sheath of these pillows react to cause the pillowcase to slide about 1/4 of the way off the pillow every night. I don't really mind since they're so comfortable, but I need to find longer pillowcases so I can tuck them in to prevent this. Also, I got a couple different firmnesses of these pillows and prefer medium over soft.
I purchased a firm about a year ago. Once it was broken in, which didn't take long, it has been a great pillow. This soft pillow is for the wife she loved it right out of the box. With these pillows the density is accurate. Some pillows say firm and you can hardly tell the difference between them. I'm hot blooded and when the pillow gets hot it's a minor adjustment and it's cool again, I just move my head over a little don't have to flip pillow. Firm is good for me 6' 250lbs sleep on side and back. The wife sleeps the same and is 5' 7" and in shape, don't dare say weight. Worth every penny, Overstock is great to deal with.
Lovely pillow! Not hot like so many foam pillows are. Soft but not flat or cheap feeling. Good for sleeping on the back or the side. Cradles a aching head beautifully. I recommend this pillow highly.
I have extreme neck problems and wake up with neck pains daily. I have tried all types of pillows and this is the only one that has been both comfortable and pain free for me. I need a low profile and soft pillow. I usually buy down pillows , but the last one I bought went flat and uncomfortable in less than a month. Hopefully this will last for a while.
