What other alternative health certifications and licenses have you've acquired, and how have they helped you develop/maintain Waking Up Fabulous? I'm a graduate of the Coaches Training Institute, the Master's Program in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica, and a licensed Spiritual Practitioner of Religious Science. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and have attended over a 100 hours in various alternative health courses. Every course I take is taken to grow myself into being the best leader I can be for Waking Up Fabulous.
How did all of this evolve into you writing The Circle? I have two passions: acting and inner fitness. For years, I'd been mulling the question of how to support people with better navigating life without the answer being religious, or me seeming arrogant. I'd also wanted to write something that would meld my two passions. The Circle is truly a gift.
I'd been trying to write a non-fiction book and kept running into infuriating dead ends with how to structure it and succinctly articulate the spiritual psychology concepts that have so powerfully impacted my life. After trying to write my first book for four years, I threw my hands and decided it wasn't meant to be. A week later I woke with The Circle on my mind and a very clear way to approach it. I scheduled a ton of interviews with women from every walk of life and age range. After each interview some aspect of the interview would resonate, and I'd go home and write a monologue using that interview as inspiration. I was always touched by what came out. In a very short period of time (compared to the years I had put into trying to write my nonfiction book), I had something good enough to take to a dramaturge.
I worked on deconstructing the monologues and placing them in a story. When I asked professional actresses to do us the favor participating in a reading of our rough draft to see what we had, I was shocked to see how deeply the material touched the actresses. I knew I had something and I continued to work.When I put it up the first time to see how a paying audience would respond, I was not prepared for the enthusiastic way the audience speaks up and out during the show. It was and is exciting. The Circle continues to surprise me at every performance.
Tell us a bit more about the play… The Circle debuted in March 2011 at The Matrix Theater in Los Angeles. It has been used as entertainment at women's conferences and as a fundraising event for organizations. Waking Up Fabulous has produced at total of 14 shows, including performances in San Diego and Atlanta, and a 'Circle' workshop in Uganda.
You feature local celebrities in the play. Who's joining the cast in Evanston? The Circle was written to be performed 'on book' (with scripts in hand) to allow us the flexibility of going into cities and using local talent and celebrities, without intense rehearsal schedules and the time commitment required for memorization. We are excited to be using the talents of Chicago based actors Barbara Roberts, Diane Dorsey, Iris Lieberman, Marssie Mencotti and Joi-Anissa Russell.
What else is on the horizon for you, Ms. Lifford? There is yet another equally profound way The Circle has been a gift to me. It reshaped how I was approaching my non-fiction book. In 2012, I was able to finish my non-fiction book titled The Little Book of BIG LIES. It is written in the form of 14 stories that help deliver the message of the power and practicality of self-acceptance. It was released November 2012 and has been on Amazon's Top Rated list for the past two months.
The Circle is playing at the Music Institute of Chicago (1490 Chicago Avenue, Evanston), February 25-26. For more info, visit, www.thecircleplay.com.

text: I had the old bare access but I think the new one is even more comfortable. The extra cushioning compared to the other Merrell Barefoots are instantly recognised and means the shoe almost feels like a normal running shoe but with the benefit of 0mm drop. My back and knees are much better now since wearing barefoot and I can wear these all day for work or for a run on the streets. Great style and comfort...will get another colour soon.

Canonsburg funeral director has passion for classic cars

CANONSBURG – David Sollon doesn't mind trading his funeral hearse for a Hudson every once in a while.
The director at Sollon Funeral Home in Canonsburg has five classic Hudsons that include two convertibles, a coupe, a pickup truck and a rare paneled delivery van.
Most people passing through would never know of Sollon's love for classic cars, but it's actually not too unusual for a funeral home director to have a thing for hot rods and the popular, albeit defunct, Hudson brand.
Sollon knows of two other funeral directors in Pennsylvania and Iowa who belong to the same Hudson club of which he's a member. And his award-winning 1936 Hudson Terraplane paneled van he recently restored was featured on the front page of last month's nationally circulated Funeral Home & Cemetery News.
"It's just something that helps you occupy your time," Sollon said. "You have to do something. All the fun of it is doing it yourself."
Sollon says his classic cars hobby rarely comes up during services, even though it's hard to miss his collection of photos, trophies and die-cast cars around his office. But it's an unavoidable discussion topic upon stepping into his garages that are bursting with cars, spare parts and Hudson memorabilia.
Inside, he pulled out a photo album showing the burned out and picked apart carcass of a Hudson convertible left for dead at a junkyard that is now in pristine condition. Sollon also recounted how he rebuilt the Terraplane in less than 22 months using tricks such as fabricating a motorcycle wheel hub to fit the van.
"You take a piece of scrap and you feel like you've accomplished something,"
But Sollon hasn't always loved Hudsons. In fact, his father, Louis, was loyal to Oldsmobile, which created a bit of a sibling rivalry in the family since Sollon's uncle, Bill, bragged about how often Hudsons similar to his won at the local dirt tracks.
"Back then, cars were more important to people than they are now," Sollon said.
When he had a chance to finally buy his first classic car in 1980, he didn't mind it was on the wrong side of the family rivalry. He spent just $750 on that 1941 Hudson.
"I just always enjoyed cars. When I got to the point in my life that I could buy one, it happened to be a Hudson," he said. "It didn't matter what car it was."
It's now become a family tradition. He bought his son, Nick, a Hudson right before his 13th birthday and it soon became a high school project. Nick took it to his high school prom, and the refurbishing left such an impact on him he now works as an engineer.
"Not bad for a couple of amateurs," David Sollon said. "We've learned a lot since then."
Sollon is slowing down with his restoration efforts after his panel van was one of 40 classic cars to win a national award from the Antique Automobile Club of America earlier this year. For now, he plans to clean up his garage, getting rid of the dust and grime that have accumulated through years of restoring cars.
But he expects catch the classic car bug again soon and be back at restoring a new fleet of Hudsons in his free time.
"They're like cats," Sollon said. "If you have one, you want more."

Both believe Common Core will raise the academic expectations to help ensure students are college- and career-ready.
A point of contention among those against the education change has been the belief Common Core has too many standards. McDaniel suggested Tennessee's old standards did not properly prepare students for life after high school.
"I see the Common Core as a positive in helping us focus on what is most important as we work toward those common goals," McDaniel said.
Ringstaff agreed, saying the reduction in standards will allow schools to, "teach deeper and be more creative."
Teachers in turn will have an opportunity to spend more time exploring a subject. The idea is Tennessee's old standards were once a mile wide and a foot deep. Proponents of Common Core say the new standards will be a mile deep and foot wide at each level.
Implementation of Common Core began three years ago. Initially, standards were integrated into kindergarten through second grade during the 2011-12 school year. The next set of standards were then implemented into grades third through eighth the following year. The final set of standards have since been initiated in high schools for the 2013-14 school year.
Ringstaff admitted the change has not been easy. However, it is what he believes is best for the students. He said he does not understand opponents of Common Core who suggest: stopping the process; picking and choosing the standards; or returning to Tennessee's original standards.
"What would we do? Go back to the old standards? They were terrible, we know they are terrible. Look at the state averages of Tennessee. Why would we accept that?" Ringstaff asked. "Why do we think it is OK to back up at this time and say, when the whole country is moving forward in education and we think we are doing great things with college and career readiness, let's hit the pause button and back up? It would be terrible."
He said his strong support of Common Core stems from his belief it is better than the old standards used by Tennessee.
"I will be the first to say if the state of Tennessee comes out with an awesome set of standards that are better than Common Core, that are better than the performance indicators we already have, then I am on board," Ringstaff said. "I am not married to Common Core because it is Common Core. I am married to Common Core because they are better than what we are doing."
Bradley County and Cleveland City have been working toward full implementation for three years. The goal is to have students prepared for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers assessment in 2015. Teachers and administrators have attended conferences in an effort to gain a firm grasp on the new standards.
Some have suggested Common Core will limit teacher creativity by governing how teachers should teach.
Ringstaff agreed the new standards will affect how students are taught, but insisted it will be for the betterment of students without having a negative impact on teaching methods.
"There is no rote memory out there. There are a lot of awesome things going on: group work, kids working through problems together — a lot of collaborations. That is what you get in the real world. You get together as groups to work through issues," Ringstaff said.
McDaniel said teachers in Bradley County Schools have risen to the challenge.
"These new standards have not changed the way we select our textbooks and develop lesson plans," McDaniel said. "These standards do not mean that we have lost any of our unique Bradley County values.
"It really has seemed rushed and I think that's part of the stress that teachers feel. Because of all the changes that have occurred Tennessee is almost operating on overload."
Curriculum choices, testing and teaching methods will be determined at a local and state level. A list of acceptable textbook options are approved at the state level, then local school boards select which of the options they want to adopt. Selections in Bradley County are based on recommendations and teacher research completed by the supervisor for education department heads.
Ringstaff said there have been a lot of questions surrounding Common Core's impact on the school system's curriculum.
"This is where people get confused. What is taught in the Bradley County and Cleveland City classrooms is chosen by Bradley County and Cleveland City teachers. They are not chosen by the standards," Ringstaff said. "The standards say nothing other than children should be able to count to this number in the first grade."
Some opponents have expressed concerns over what they see as a stringent academic program.
Ringstaff asked why schools systems would refrain from pushing their students.
"That is how you get better. When did education become, 'Let's keep the kids comfortable and not challenge them to the best of their abilities?'" Ringstaff asked. "We should be challenging them. They should be frustrated when they can't find the answers. They should want to find the answers. That is what we do in the real world."
Common Core only gives standards for English/Language Arts and Math. It does not address social studies or science. School systems must then decide how they are going to teach students in order for them to meet the standards set forth.
McDaniel said his concern is whether the PARCC assessment piece has been fully developed.
Ringstaff's concerns are in the potential for Common Core to become a political platform.
"It has gotten so political, and it is going into an election year so people are making comments because of election year and not because of what is best for students, and I have a problem with that," Ringstaff said. "I am not politicizing this. This is what is best for students."

For a number of different reasons I expect this total to stay below the posted number once the final horn sounds. Orlando will certainly be motivated today to break a four-game slide and would love nothing more than to deal the Pacers a season worst-tying eighth straight loss. The Magic have looked better offensively of late, but remember as of January 9th, the team was ranked 28th in the league in scoring at just 93.6 points per contest. Orlando though has been pretty poor on the defensive side of the court all year and will definitely be ready to atone for a listless 113-106 setback at New York on Friday; note Orlando had in fact given up just 99.2 per game prior to its slump. The Magic also play with revenge here, the first time these teams met Indiana would pull away for the 98-83 victory on November 28th. The Pacers though have struggled with offensive consistency all season, they rank near the bottom of the league in points per game and shooting percentage and shot just 41 percent in Friday's 89-87 loss at Miami.: "We were very displeased with how we played in the first half," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said afterwards. "I challenged them early on to get a little angry and we did. We started playing better. Clearly we have to start the game better." Note that this is a position in which both teams have shown a penchant to playing to the lower number in as the Pacers have seen the total dip below the posted number in two of three as a road favorite of three points or less, while Orlando has seen it fall UNDER the number in eight of 11 this year after three or more consecutive SU losses.

Ed Servais enters his 11th season leading the Creighton baseball program in 2014.
He is the winningest coach in program history, surpassing Jim Hendry (289) in 2011,
when he led his team to a 45-16 overall record, Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament titles and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Servais was named the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Coach of the Year following the 2011 season, the fourth time he has earned the award at Creighton. He led the Bluejays back to the NCAA Tournament in 2012 as Creighton posted a perfect 4-0 record in the MVC
Tournament to advance in the UCLA Regional.
Servais holds a .626 winning percentage at the helm of the Bluejays, the second highest in school history. He has taken Creighton to four NCAA Tournaments (2005, 2007, 2011 & 2012). In 10 seasons under Servais' leadership, the Bluejays have averaged just under 36 wins per season.
During the summer of 2013, Servais served as one of three assistants for USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team. Servais was primarily responsible for team defense and was the first base coach. Servais helped Team USA post a 7-3 record against Japan and Cuba, including a five-game sweep of the Cuban National Team.
Servais' tenure ranks among the best as a Creighton head coach. He has guided the team to a 357-213 record. His overall record of 539-296-1 places him 23rd in the nation in winning percentage amongst active coaches (.646).
Servais led Creighton to the MVC Tournament title three times (2007, 2011 & 2012)
and regular-season crowns in 2005 and 2011.
His teams have finished among the nation's best in fielding percentage and sacrifice bunts every season, including 2013, when the Bluejays finished ninth in fielding percentage (.979) and seventh in sacrifice bunts (76).
Since coming to Creighton, Servais' teams have committed the fewest errors in the nation, while holding a .977 fielding percentage in the last 10 seasons, which also leads the country.
The Bluejays topped the 30 win mark for the eighth time under Servais in 2013, finishing with a 30-18 mark.
Despite finishing 2012 with a 28-30 overall record and a 6-14 mark in MVC play, Servais led his team to the NCAA Tournament with an inspired four-game sweep at the MVC Tournament. The Bluejays opened the MVC Tournament with an upset win over top-seed Indiana State, then went on to defeat
Illinois State twice to advance to the title game against Southern Illinois. Creighton completed the four-game run by besting the Salukis, 8-6, to earn the MVC's automatic berth.
At the UCLA Regional, the Bluejays dropped their opening game to the host Bruins (3-0), but Creighton rebounded to eliminate San Diego (8-2) and New Mexico (7-2), before succumbing to UCLA (13-5).
The 2011 team finished with a 45-16 overall record, finishing first in MVC play with a 15-6 mark. It marked the first time in school history a Bluejay baseball team has won the regular-season and tournament titles in the same year. The Bluejays finished the season ranked 25th in the nation, breaking into the top-25 for the first time since 2007.
Creighton moved into TD Ameritrade Park Omaha midway through the 2011 season, leaving behind the friendly confines of the CU Sports Complex where Servais had a .770 winning percentage. The new venue, however, gave Creighton the chance to host the MVC Tournament for the first time in Servais' tenure.
Servais was named the 2011 MVC Coach of the Year, as he guided the Bluejays to series sweeps of Indiana State, Bradley and Missouri State. The three wins over the Bears to close the regular season gave Creighton the MVC regular-season crown outright.
The Bluejays then overcame fatigue and weather conditions in the MVC Tournament (including playing two games a day on back-to-back days after storms postponed play) to position themselves for a chance at the tournament title. Creighton defeated Missouri State for the fifth time in eight days, needing a wild-pitch in the 12th inning to get a 4-3 victory. The Bluejays then downed Wichita State 3-1 in the title game to earn the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, finishing 1-2 in the Corvallis, Ore., Regional.
Creighton earned a host of postseason accolades, led by Servais' MVC Coach of the Year. Trever Adams became the first Bluejay outfielder since 2000 to be named First Team All-MVC. Adams was joined by Jimmy Swift and Jonas Dufek on the 2011 All-MVC First Team. Mike Gerber, Ty Blach and Kurt Spomer were recognized as second teamers. Dufek garnered All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball, while Adams was named All-America by Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and the NCBWA. Gerber finished as a freshman All-American from Collegiate Baseball, while Blach
became the seventh player in program history to be named a CoSIDA Academic All-American.
Creighton finished the 2010 season 27-25 and 9-12 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Creighton excelled on the defensive side, finishing second in the nation in fielding percentage at .980. The Bluejays closed the year second in Division I, committing just 41 errors in 52 games.
The end of the 2010 season saw four Bluejays honored by the MVC and one Bluejay pitcher earning national honors. Elliot Soto and Carson Vitale were drafted, with Soto being taken by the Chicago Cubs in the 15th round and Vitale by the Texas Rangers organization in the 38th round. The two became the 11th and 12th players drafted under Servais as Creighton's head coach.
In 2009, the Bluejays (31-25) came within one win of their third NCAA Tournament in five years, as they reached the MVC Tournament championship game before falling to Wichita State, 4-2. Defense set the tone for the squad as it finished with a .984 fielding percentage, tops in the nation and the best in NCAA history during the aluminum bat era.
Individually, Servais coached seven All-MVC selections in 2009, the most since taking the reins in 2004. He also saw first baseman Darin Ruf come just 38 putouts shy of an NCAA record, finishing with 2,251 during his four years.
The Creighton skipper guided the 2008 team to another strong season, especially on the defensive side. The Bluejays, who were 37-21 overall, posted a .976 fielding percentage, good for third in the nation, after committing only 52 errors in 58 games. Creighton was also near the top of the nation in sacrifice bunts as well as shutouts. Individually the Bluejays featured four All-MVC picks in 2008, as Pat Venditte, Robbie Knight, Steve Winkelmann and Ruf all earned accolades.
In 2007, Servais led Creighton to 45 wins and the first Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship in school history. Servais was named the MVC Coach of the Year for the third time as the Bluejays advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. Creighton won 26 of its final 31 games, including a memorable 10-9, 12-inning victory over 12th-ranked Wichita State in the finals of the MVC Tournament. The 2007 season saw 12 school records broken and the Bluejays' second regular-season series
victory over in-state rival Nebraska under Servais' guidance.
Individual accolades came in bunches with the successful 2007 season under Servais. Ruf was named the Joe Carter MVC Player of the Year, junior southpaw Ben Mancuso was the MVC Pitcher of the Year, and senior transfer Andy Masten was the league's Newcomer of the Year. Mancuso, Masten and junior ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte were selected to All-America teams, while freshman hurler Casey Schmidt earned Freshman All-America honors.
The 2006 team posted a record of 31-21 overall and placed fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 13-11 mark. Servais guided Creighton to its third-consecutive 30-win season, becoming the third coach in school history to win 30 games in each of his first three seasons.
In 2005, the Bluejays had one of the best seasons in school history. Servais coached the Bluejays to a 48-17 record, the school's first-ever Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship and the team's first NCAA postseason appearance since 2000. The squad's 48 wins were the second-most in program history, behind only the 51 games won by the 1991 College World Series team. Servais also brought home his second MVC Coach of the Year award in as many seasons.
Creighton ended the 2005 campaign nationally ranked for the first time since 2000, a No. 28 ranking from Collegiate Baseball. Servais also led the Bluejays to a 5-3 regular-season victory against No. 3 Nebraska in front of more than 20,000 fans at Rosenblatt Stadium.
In 2004, Servais was honored as the MVC Coach of the Year, the first time in league history it was awarded to a first-year coach. Creighton's 15-win improvement from its 2003 record was the fifth-best turnaround in the NCAA that year and the largest in the MVC since 1991. Servais led the Bluejays to 35 wins, including a school-record 22 Missouri Valley Conference victories.
Known as a coach who emphasizes the importance of team defense, his first season didn't disappoint. Creighton's .982 fielding percentage in 2004 led the country and was the second-best mark in NCAA history. In 2005, the Bluejays led the nation in double plays turned with 85 and set a team record for assists with 803. Creighton led the Valley in fielding again in 2005 with a .972 fielding percentage.
Servais has coached 46 players that received All-MVC honors. In addition, 22 players have been named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete Team during that span.
Servais was named head coach on July 29, 2003 after serving as the program's interim head coach for the previous month. He succeeded Jack Dahm, who resigned after 10 years as head coach in late June.
"During Ed's tenure at Creighton, he has established our baseball program as one of the most fundamentally sound, over-achieving programs in the country," said Creighton Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen. "Ed is a great teacher of the game of baseball and his program has done a tremendous job of representing themselves and Creighton University."
Servais came to Creighton on Aug. 25, 1997, when Dahm named him an assistant on his staff. As an assistant, Servais was on the bench for 174 Creighton wins, including a pair of NCAA Regional berths in 1999 and 2000. He was also on staff when Dahm was named MVC Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2002. With the help of Servais' instruction, the 2002 edition of the Bluejays finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference.
During his time as associate head coach, Servais served as Creighton's hitting and first base coach, as well as the defensive infield coach. He also served as Dahm's recruiting coordinator.
He made an immediate impact on the program in his first year, as the Bluejays ranked among the nation's top defensive teams with a .965 fielding percentage in 1998. The team's offensive numbers also increased significantly as the team batting average went up 29 points to .313. The run production also increased from 6.9 to 7.5 runs per game.
His most talented team as an assistant was in 1999. That Bluejay squad hit .326 and averaged nearly eight runs per game. Ryan Gripp was named a first-team ABCA All-American following that season and was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the third round of the MLB amateur draft.
As part of his job as infield coach, Servais helped make Tony Roth into an honorable mention All-MVC player. Roth was named conference Freshman of the Year in 2002 and was also a freshman All-American selection by Collegiate Baseball. That same year, second baseman Chris Hinrichs and shortstop Scott Allen were each named honorable mention All-MVC, making for a combination that turned 54 double plays, which ranked among NCAA leaders. Catcher Tim Gradoville was also named honorable mention All-MVC in 2002.
As part of his job as first base coach, Servais helped that same 2002 team rank ninth in the country with 2.19 stolen bases per game. In addition to the team-leading 27 stolen bases from Hinrichs, seven other players swiped eight or more bases.
Prior to coming to Creighton, Servais spent two years as an assistant coach at Iowa State University. During his time at ISU, he served as recruiting coordinator, hitting instructor, infield and outfield coach. He helped lead the Cyclones to a second-place finish at the final Big Eight Conference tournament in 1996.
Before his time at Iowa State, Servais was the head coach at St. Mary's (Minn.) for seven years from 1989-1995. While at St. Mary's, he compiled a record of 159-76-1 at the NCAA Division III school. He was named the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Coach of the Year in both 1990 and 1993 after leading St. Mary's to MIAC championships in both years. His 1990 pitching staff led Division III schools with a 2.34 earned run average. Between the years of 1991 and 1992, his teams went on a 26-game winning streak.
His 1993 team at St. Mary's came just short of making the Division III World Series, falling in the final of the Division III Midwest Regional. That team was ranked as high as No. 10 in the country. In his seven years as head coach, St. Mary's had six players drafted by major league teams.
Servais' first collegiate head coaching position came at Viterbo College in La Crosse, Wis., in 1988 when he coached the NAIA Division II V-Hawks in the first year of baseball at the school. He made his only season there one to remember as Servais led the V-Hawks to a 23-6 overall record and an 11-1 conference mark. Making that record even more impressive for a first-year team is that of the 17 players on the team, 14 were freshmen. One of those freshmen he coached was Damian Miller, who went on to the major leagues and was a member of the world champion
Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001.
Servais' first college coaching job came at St. Mary's in 1984 as an assistant. He stayed there for three seasons, after which he left to start the baseball program at Viterbo.
He got his start in coaching at Rib Lake High School in Rib Lake, Wis. He coached for two years at Rib Lake and rang up a two-year record of 24-11 from 1982-1983. He led Rib Lake to the district finals in both of his years.
Servais graduated from Wisconsin-La Crosse in 1980 with a degree in physical education. As a player, Servais was a three-time all-conference selection, the team's co-captain and Most Valuable Player his senior year. He holds a master's degree in physical education from Wisconsin-La Crosse, which he earned in 1986 while coaching at St. Mary's.
Servais resides in Omaha with his wife Anne. The couple has three children: daughter Angela (29), and sons Joe (27) and Michael (22).
Angela graduated from Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, in 2006 and went on to complete her master's degree at Drake. Recently Angela was married to Zach Gradnon. Joe transferred to Creighton from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., and played for the Bluejays in 2008, finishing with a .298 average in 54 games, all starts. Michael is a junior second-baseman at Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb.
Ed is also the uncle of former Creighton All-American and major league catcher Scott Servais, who now is the Assistant GM of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Fort Bragg woman arrested in vase attack on ex-boyfriend
Officers were summoned at 2:06 a.m. March 14 to an apartment in the 400 block of South McPherson Street for a report of domestic violence, and determined the victim had been hit in the head with a glass vase and injured while trying to leave the apartment of his ex-girlfriend, Guadalupe "Nataly" Cervera Perez, according to the FBPD.
Further investigation revealed that Cervera Perez had left her 10-month-old baby, who the victim had fathered, alone and unsupervised in her apartment while she walked to her ex-boyfriend's apartment and tried to persuade him to come back to her, according to the FBPD.
The victim reportedly had walked Cervera Perez back to her apartment for the second time to check on their child when she hit him in the head with the vase to keep him from leaving, the FBPD reported.
Cervera Perez was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment and booked at the Mendocino County Jail.
Laytonville man arrested in attack on pregnant girlfriend
Authorities on Thursday arrested a 25-year-old Laytonville man who allegedly repeatedly punched his pregnant girlfriend during an argument over his drug use, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
The Cahto Tribal Police Department contacted sheriff's deputies about a domestic fight on Reservation Road in Laytonville, according to the MCSO.
The victim, a 25-year-old woman, told deputies that she and her boyfriend, Donald Wiltsey, had argued over his illegal drug use, according to the FBPD. Wiltsey allegedly became angry and punched the side of her head several times with a closed fist.
The couple had reportedly lived together several years and had a child together, according to the FBPD. The woman didn't need medical attention for her injuries.
Deputies arrested Wiltsey on suspicion of domestic violence and booked him at the Mendocino County Jail under $25,000 bail.
Domestic fight leads to drug arrest
A 31-year-old Fort Bragg man who allegedly injured his girlfriend during a fight was also arrested on drug charges when authorities arrived at the scene Friday, according to the Fort Bragg Police Department.
Officers were summoned at 7:14 a.m. March 15 to the 400 block of South Harrison Street for a welfare check on a woman because of a possible domestic incident, the FBPD reported.
Investigation revealed that Marshall Efishoff and the woman had been in a physical fight that left injuries on her body, according to the FBPD, and Efishoff was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence causing injury.
Further investigation revealed drug paraphernalia and packaged substances believed to be methamphetamine, according to the FBPD. Charges of possessing controlled substances and being under the influence of controlled substances were added to Efishoff's arrest. He was booked at the Mendocino County Jail.

Mint juleps are one of those cocktails that evoke strong opinions—everyone you talk to will insist their way's the best. Personal variations on recipes can be great, but this being Derby Day, we do have some simple do's and don'ts for enjoying the traditional Kentucky Derby cocktail.
- Use fresh mint. Accept no substitutes. Since mint grows well (in some cases, aggressively) in most regions, it should be easy to find.
- Use coarsely crushed ice. Many blenders will do the trick in a few seconds (drain any water and re-freeze crushed ice for about a half hour for best results), or a try a vintage ice-crusher.
- Use the right glassware. If you don't have the customary stainless steel julep cups, use a highball glass.
- Use a high-quality bourbon; it will make a huge difference in the flavor.
- Use whole ice cubes. This bears repeating. Juleps are all about the crushed ice, so do it right!
- Muddle the mint beyond recognition. Gently bruise the mint to impart its fresh flavor.
- Use soda water; this is one of the easiest ways to ruin what may be intended to be a mint julep.
Like most recipes, mint juleps are all about the fine details. Here's an Imbibe-tested and approved recipe (isn't research fun?), adapted from Denise Gee's book Southern Cocktails: Dixie Drinks, Party Potions and Classic Libations:
Mint Julep
6–7 fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp. simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated to dissolve, then cooled to room temperature)
2 oz. bourbon
Crushed ice
Tools: bar spoon
Glass: silver julep cup (or highball)
Garnish: mint sprig
Combine mint leaves, syrup and bourbon in a glass. Press the bar spoon into the mint to release its essence into the liquid. Fill the glass with ice. Gently press the spoon into the ice, shaking it to incorporate the mixture. Garnish.
We'd love to have bourbon historian Mike Veach, featured in our current issue weigh in, but we're pretty sure he's busy today. Enjoy, and feel free to chime in with your own julep tips!

Making a Mint Julep

I'll definitely keep this on file for next year. thanks!
- Iain said...
Looks like a good recipe; I'll be sure to try it soon. No need to wait for the Derby to trot around again.
Building on one of your comments, though, most mints are invasive in many, if not all, parts of the US. Please don't plant mint outside unless you're sure it's not invasive in your area. It's not worth choking out the native plants when you can grow it easily inside or buy some at the store. - 5/05/2008 2:17 PM

I grow mint in a container and it works great.

I had the worst mint julep recently, pretty much because the place making it did everything on your don't list: huge ice cubes, completely watery concoction, low-brow bourbon. Just dreadful. Next time I will be sure to ask all the right questions before I risk ordering this again in a bar or better yet, I'll just stick to making them at home!
- Anonymous said...
so the question is, did you send it back?
- nola said...
I'm sorry to say I didn't, even though everyone around me was insisting on it. If it happened again I would. I also forgot to mention a couple of other tragic touches: the drink came in a giant glass with a double wide straw. Now that's a classy mint julep.
- Anonymous said...
A long time ago I read a Mint Julep recipe from one of the owners of Maker's Mark. Basically the same recipe except that you make mint infused simple syrup.
When making the simple syrup, let it cool until its still hot but not too hot (you can stick your finger in it). Add a hand full of mint leaves with stems removed. Let steep for a few hours to overnight in the refrigerator. Strain the mint leaves out and use.
I love this approach. It gives a stronger mint flavor (obviously very dependent on how much mint you add to the syrup and how much syrup you add)and eliminates the muddling. It also allows me to keep a bottle of mint flavored simple syrup for juleps at the drop of a hat. - 5/28/2008 11:33 AM

EchoStar's replacement for E3 launches in 9 days 17 hours 7 minutes or so (March 14th, 7:18pm ET).
Did Amc fail when launched?
And what orbital slot will it be at....ie.. 61.5,,,110,,,118 ?
Posted 17 March 2008 - 12:27 PM
Best case scenario it will still get there. Perhaps a little late ... certainly with a limited life span ... but it appears that it survived the launch well enough that it can still be moved into place.
Worst case scenario some other satellite will go there to replace E3.
Posted 17 March 2008 - 06:38 PM
AMC-14 was (and still is) planned for 61.5°.
Best case scenario it will still get there. Perhaps a little late ... certainly with a limited life span ... but it appears that it survived the launch well enough that it can still be moved into place.
Worst case scenario some other satellite will go there to replace E3.
so what will this sat serve purpose for,,, Local hd or Nation hd channels?

BTW: We do have a DISH Network forum where we discuss this stuff.
Posted 24 March 2008 - 07:53 AM
I tried to ask them what those of us without their range of Internet speed was supposed to do. They told me and I quote: "That's not our problem. There are ways you can look into upgrading your internet." I told "Steve" that my area can not get internet at 1.5MBPS and he said "Well it looks like we can't do anything for you. Have a great day," and he hung up. Sky Angel has not returned any emails or registered letters (yet they have received the registered letters). Just a note: Secular Dish Network has returned most of my emails (there are only a few that didn't come back). But their CSR's seem to be a little friendlier anyway.
Posted 24 March 2008 - 08:52 AM
If you're just feeling hurt or cheesed, and you're looking for a reason for vengeance, then maybe that idea of letting go of your anger and moving on to do good elsewhere might be the best thing to do.
Posted 29 March 2008 - 12:04 AM
Now, their tune has changed. I can't believe that if they give us lifers IPTV at a minimal ongoing cost to them, that it will break and destroy them. Are they really running on a shoestring budget? Are they really living month-to-month?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: They can afford to keep their promise to us if they wanted to. The small amount of money they would be losing would be offset by the POTENTIALLY HUGE profit they stand to make in the future.
Is it possible that they may have dollar signs in their eyes? Is it just possible?
Posted 29 March 2008 - 12:42 AM
Is no longer valid. Has it been deleted in order to not hear any more from us Lifetime Subscribers?
Posted 29 March 2008 - 04:27 AM
And yes, IPTV costs money ... allowing "free" access to the SkyAngel channels was simply enabling the receivers and walking away. The channels had to be there for the recurring payment customers who were helping to keep the system running. (Plus the trade deal with E* made satellite carriage free. SkyAngel was running a cashless operation other than billing, program production, advertising, paying their staff and investing in their future. Until they had to pay for the secular family channels, that is.)
Unless NeuLion is giving them free bandwidth it costs SkyAngel for every viewer. Providing lifelong members with channels is no longer "free" for them.
Posted 29 March 2008 - 06:45 AM
4.) The primary source of funding for the Dominion DBS Television and Radio System is expected to come from individual subscribers paying either an ongoing monthly subscription fee or by prepaying a lump-sum subscription for a period of years, During the first 30 months of operation DVS offered lifelong subscriptions for a one-time payment which is being discontinued for any new subscribers, For those who purchased the lifelong subscription it will last for the operating lifetime of the Dominion Sky Angel domestic U.S. DBS service and for the lifetime of the subscriber and his or her spouse without any further monthly subscription fees and includes a minimum of 32 television and radio channels selected at Dominion's sole discretion, Once a lifelong subscription is activated to receive Sky Angel programming it is non-assignable and non-transferable.
The Dominion Sky Angel domestic U.S. DBS service has reached the end of its lifetime. Those of you with lifetime subscriptions (and paid your $399) got a good deal, as 10 years at $14.99/mo would have cost you 179.88/year, or $1798.80 for 10 years.
Now, how exactly are you feeling slighted? At least they gave you fair warning, rather than doing what some companies would do and just "flip the switch".
I recommend subscribing to DISHFamily. Yes, the monthly rate is slightly more expensive ($19.99/mo or $24.99/mo with local channels) than Sky Angel, but you pick up many of the same channels plus several more - a total of more than 40 channels. Most subscribers already have the required satellite locations - all Sky Angel subscribers have access to the 61.5 location, and many have access to either 119 or both 119/110.

Matt, you're forgetting the audience. These are people who paid one price for "lifelong" viewing. Nothing is "slightly" more expensive than the "no monthly / no annual fee" service they are losing.Yes, the monthly rate is slightly more expensive ($19.99/mo or $24.99/mo with local channels) than Sky Angel,
Posted 31 March 2008 - 06:26 AM
I was literally laughing out loud. I responded briefly (couldn't respond to Nancy C., her address is dead so I sent it to email@example.com) with:
I don't think there is much SkyAngel can do to rekindle my faith in television - at least not television delivered by SkyAngel. Skyangel has done myself and many lifetime subscribers wrong. In a few days we will have no more appropriate television in our home. I am raising my children alone and have been since my husband left shortly after our 8th child was born. The last thing I can afford is to incur another bill.
I certainly wouldn't send any more money to Skyangel.
Of course, I've received no response.
Todays the last day for TVU! (and all the rest of the programming we love)
God bless!

The new DISH Essential Service package may be a better option for many who lose SA service. I just subbed to it starting Saturday P.M. For just $9.99/month you get:
The Weather Channel
Discovery Kids
Comedy Central
and several others
I also get several channels that weren't listed in the initial offer, but with which I'm so far pretty happy. Apparently, these "extra" channels can vary some from subscriber to subscriber, and it's not guaranteed you will get them.
I'm also getting TBN, Angel One, Angel Two, KTV, 3ABN and EWTN. Don't know if all those Christian channels are permanent, but I suspect they will be (and I also think more will be added). If you haven't been getting the free P.I. pack, you may have to ask for it in addition to your other programming.
You can add your locals (if available) for an extra $5.00/month. If you don't have locals available, you may be able to add San Francisco and Atlanta distants through All-America Direct.
You CANNOT add movie channels, or any other programming tier besides the above listed options.
I know DISH isn't promoting this Essential Service package heavily--of course, they'd rather have people sub to DISHFamily (more $$$ to them). But for half the price, Essential Service does just as good a job meeting my family's viewing needs.
Posted 31 March 2008 - 09:51 AM
Posted 31 March 2008 - 09:54 AM
You may be getting "Free Previews" channels.
Yes, History International, Fox Reality, and Biography are all in free preview mode this month, and I am getting them.
BTW, if anyone is interested in the Essentials Package, you MUST call an account specialist at 888-773-2162. Do not expect a regular CSR to be able to help you with this package.

The Cleveland Music Club invites the public to "An Evening of Two-Piano Music" presented by Margaret Ann Randolph and Helen Louise Stout on May 1 at 7 p.m. Admission to the concert is free.
The event will be held at the Coleman Auditorium in the Johnson Cultural Building at Cleveland State Community College. The program will include a dazzling mix of music composed by Frédéric Chopin, Anton Arensky, Sergei Rachmaninov, Darius Milhaut, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Ernesto Lecuona.
Both Randolph and Stout are well-known in music circuits for their solo and duo-piano concerts, and both have been longtime members of the Cleveland Music Club, the Chattanooga Music Club and the MacDowell Music Club.
They have worked together as a duo-piano concert team for more than 20 years and have delighted their audiences wherever they played — whether it was with a performance at Lee University during the Tennessee Music Teachers Annual Conference in Jasper, Ala., in Palm Springs, Calif., or with one of many performances for the MacDowell Music Club in Chattanooga.
In addition to their accomplishments as concert artists, the two pianists have many years of teaching experience, also. They are both members of the Music Teachers National Association, the Tennessee Music Teachers Association and the Ocoee Music Teachers Association.
Over the years, both artists have earned a variety of awards and recognition. Most recently, Stout was named a Fellow of the Music Teachers National Association at the MTNA's Annual Convention in Chicago.
Randolph received her master of music degree from the University of Illinois. In addition to maintaining a private studio, she has taught piano classes at the University of Illinois, Chattanooga State Community College, Bayside School of Performing Arts, Tennessee Wesleyan College and Lee University.
Randolph has taught at Cleveland State Community College since 1997. She is also an experienced choir director and organist as well as a highly valued accompanist for chamber music recitals.
Stout holds a master of science degree in music education from the University of Tennessee. She has taught at all levels in private and public schools, including at the Le Tourneau College in Longville, Texas, where she also had a private studio.
In all locations where she taught school, her musical activities included organist and choir direction at local churches, in addition to the coaching of choral groups and organizing musical ensembles for all ages.

Recording data about our living plants helps test scientific hypotheses, and creates invaluable biological baselines for detecting the effects of environmental change. We need many feet on the ground to make these data records, many more than the Arboretum staff possess, and we are calling on the plant lovers of Boston to help us.
We have initiated a group called the Arnold Arboretum Observer Corps (AAOC), made up of members of the public who have attended a short training course. AAOC participants are authorized to make botanical observations and directly upload images of our plants. At the moment, our primary observation project is recording plants' phenological status (in bud, flowering, fruiting, leafless, etc.), using methods aligned with the National Phenological Network.
You can see the latest observations and photographs made by the AAOC by clicking on the Observations menu tab. If you are interested in joining the AAOC, please email Julie Warsowe, and check the main Arboretum website to find the date of the next AAOC training event.

By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) Caleb Griffith used his knowledge of Attica Raceway Park to hold of Butch Schroeder to claim the first ever University of Northwestern Ohio 305/360 Sprint Challenge on Friday night. Griffith, a former Attica 305 sprint champion, drove to the high side of Schroeder on lap eight to take the lead and then navigated through lapped traffic to claim his first career 360 sprint win aboard the Al Davis #40. "The cushion here isn't like it used to be and if you don't paint the corner coming off…it's like the same way at Fremont and I smoked the fence on the last lap of the feature last week. I was up there trying to find something," said Griffith beside his Young's Batter Mix/McDonald's Restaurant/Crown Batter/JLH General Contractors/EZ Shop backed machine. "On the first start we were junk. I rolled down into the first corner and was getting passed on both sides and I thought we were done. I reached over and grabbed a handful of wing and just jerked it all the way back and I figured we'd get by Butch at the beginning but he would be coming at the end. Especially the way the lappers were racing…man that was intense," continued Griffith of his Meggitt Farms/Griff's Engines/Tackle Box 2/B&L Heating/Sheluke's Bar/Fremont Roofing sponsored #40. Weston, Ohio's Rusty Schlenk got the cautions when he needed them to keep him out of heavy lapped traffic, and held off Chris Keller to score his 15th career late model win at Attica. "I could see it as we were racing it was just crumbs from the middle up and once we got to lapped traffic and they wouldn't get off the bottom I didn't know what to do. I was just trying to stay behind them and hope for a caution and it worked out," said Schlenk beside his Doubty Fabrication/Zeller Automotive/Lazer Chassis and Bernheiser Race cars/Micro Armor Lubricants. "I don't know how many races we've lead this year and I ended up with three or four seconds…it's good to finally win won." After an early battle with Dustin Keegan, Woodville, Ohio's Dan Roepke Jr. would survive a couple of late race cautions to win his fourth career dirt truck feature. "There wasn't much left up top…I tried it up there and it was pretty slick. So I moved down and kept ahead of Dustin," said Roepke beside his Perkins Tree Service/Village of Elmore/Johnny's Electric/Vision Quest backed truck.

The regular 64s have like an orangish back while the Venezuelans have a black back. I also provided a sample of the regular 64s. And here is the regular back:

Most of them are from my Bob Allison collection: 1962-1964-1966-1968. I kinda hoard them.....I have 4 of his 1964 card.....The only one of his that I don't have is the 1959 card, which is gonna be impossible to find. I also have a '64 HR Leaders with Killebrew, and a '66 Earl Battey. I'm actually surprised at the prices they go for. They really aren't that expensive unless you start getting to the higher grade versions or the big names. I commend you on working on a very challenging set! I hope that you can keep us updated on the progress!

You may be aware of Dave's Vintage in California. He has sold a lot of Venezuelans in the past. I don't see a 1959 Allison listed on his website, but I do know he holds some that he does not publish in inventory. Might be worth reaching out to him. His website is gfg.com.

There are 2 graded '59s, one being in the PSA Set Registry, but don't know where the other is. I'm sure there has to be more raw versions out there. I am very familiar with Dave's Vintage. I actually purchased 3 of my Allisons from him. Good point to contact him about stuff he's not publishing. Never thought about that so I'll have to give it a try!

As for Dave, I purchased a number of 66 VZ HOF's that he did not have listed but I've noticed he's really pumped up the price of his Venezuelans over the past year. You may know John Rumierz from ebay as well. He has a pretty extensive personal collection in addition to what he has listed on ebay and could help you find your Allison as well.
