A healthy, athletic man who watches his weight, eats right and exercises regularly might be the last person anyone would expect to suffer a massive heart attack.
Not so. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year about 720,000 Americans have a heart attack. Included in that number are 515,000 first-time heart attack victims, many of whom appeared to be healthy, watching their weight and exercising.
Leonard Albert of Cleveland is included in that rare group. Albert, who was 66 years old at the time, admits, "It was a complete surprise. Since 1972 I've been very conscious of what I eat and the calorie intake that I have every day. I count my calories. My wife and I did what we thought was a fair job of watching our sodium. We split meals. My weight was normal and I had energy — no problems."
But on Oct. 4, 2013, there was a huge problem. Albert would soon discover a ticking time bomb in his genes that was about to change his life.
"We were getting ready to take a motor trip," he explained. "Normally I fly. But this time we were taking a motor trip 1,350 miles one way. We were loading our vehicle. But that morning it was amazing to us — we couldn't get it together. We've been traveling for 40 years but I could not think of what shirt would go with a pair of trousers. We were both in a fog. My wife dropped clothes trying to get them in the suitcase. The short of it is, we were late. We were about three hours off from when we hoped to leave."
Since his wife, Pat, was still packing and it was nearing lunchtime, Albert said he decided to go outside and trim a few shrubs.
"I came back in. Still we weren't ready," he said. "So I decided to have some yogurt. I sat down and that's when it happened. I got this horrible feeling in my chest. I didn't even think of a heart attack because I never had any health issues. The only health issue I had was a gall bladder removed 10 years prior."
Describing the pain, Albert said," You know how sometimes you try to burp but you can't? The gas keeps moving — that pressure in your chest? I would inhale and try to get the gas to escape but it wouldn't go. Then it got worse and worse."
In a 2005 survey, most respondents — 92 percent — recognized chest pain as a symptom of a heart attack. Only 27 percent were aware of all major symptoms such as upper body pain or discomfort in the chest, arms, back, neck, jaw or upper stomach, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness or cold sweats. Failure to recognize these warning signs and to call 9-1-1 immediately is a major cause of death due to heart problems.
Regarding what he thought was indigestion, Albert admits, "I didn't want to tell Pat, but I knew something was bad wrong. Finally, I said, 'Pat, there's something going on here. There's something really bad.' Then it escalated to serious pain! Perhaps the worse pain I've ever known — horrible pain in my chest!"
Pat immediately called 9-1-1 and an ambulance quickly arrived, finding Albert on his couch.
"My wife was on the line with our daughter, Renee. The ambulance arrived along with a fire truck and the EMTs were great. They were super professional. They said, 'Mr. Albert, we're not sure this is a heart attack but we're going to treat it like one.' Even then I didn't think it was a heart attack. They worked with me a little more and the pain intensified. Then they gave me nitroglycerin and said 'We're going to take you to the hospital.'
"They took me to SkyRidge (Medical Center) and that's when things got serious. They gave me morphine. The doctor said, 'Mr. Albert, you're having a major heart attack. We can't treat you here.' That's when I got nervous. They said, 'We're going to have to take you by ambulance.'"
Although Albert was uncertain as to why a helicopter was not utilized on that Friday afternoon when traffic was so heavy en route to Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, he commended the ambulance driver for getting him there as fast as he could and in sufficient time.
"The doctor said 20 minutes would have made a major difference and still I suffered quite a bit of damage to my heart. I lost a lot of my heart health that day," Albert said. "Even with the morphine and the nitroglycerin under the tongue, nothing phased the pain. It was intense pain! I got another shot of morphine in the ambulance. It was at this point that I felt like I was going to die. I wasn't afraid. It just didn't seem like I could live anymore."
The last thing Albert says he remembered was being wheeled out of the ambulance and seeing Memorial Hospital nurses and doctors rushing to his aid as everything faded out.
"When I woke up, I was in the cardiac intensive care unit at Memorial," he said. "They told me I had a major heart attack — a myocardial infarction. The layman's term is the 'widow maker.' The doctors told me up to 70 percent of the men who have this heart attack don't get to the hospital alive."
Cardiologists explained that there was a 100 percent blockage of blood flow to his heart from the front artery, resulting in his heart not receiving the oxygen and nutrients it needed. There were also two other blocked arteries that were not as serious. The only immediate treatment possible was the insertion of a cardiac stent. A blockage in a blood vessel called the left anterior descending artery is called a "widow maker" because its victims often die and their spouse becomes a widow.
Not this time, however. Albert said he believes the power of prayer was at work from countless families and friends, for which he was especially grateful. Puzzled by the inexplicable nature of his surprise heart attack, Albert said, "I asked the doctor 'What's up? I ran for 25 consecutive years at the Cleveland High School track. I walked 4.2 miles an hour and ran 5.5 miles an hour. If you're good at math and you do that for an hour, in one hour you're going to go five miles. I know this because I've done it my whole life — 25 years! My weight is in line. What is the deal?"
His cardiologist explained it was genetics, something beyond Albert's control. Genetics combined with stress, too much protein and too much sodium created a coronary crisis that nearly killed him. It all made sense now. Albert said his mother died at Memorial Hospital 20 years to the year before his own crisis. Her death was heart related. His sister dropped dead from a heart attack. His brother also suffers from heart disease and wears a defibrillator. Realizing his biggest problem was genetics, not poor eating habits, obesity, lack of exercise or otherwise not taking care of himself, Albert focused on what he could do to improve his chances of survival.
"My doctor mentioned I was getting too much sodium and wanted me to eat around 1,500 milligrams a day. I was eating 5,000 milligrams a day. But I never used salt," Albert said. "They told me anything out of a box or a bag to eat is bad for you. Anything white — sugar, salt, flour, lard — anything that has those elements are bad for you. Getting too much protein like eating red meats and pork would also be bad. So I had to really monitor that."
Albert said he uses a free online tool called My Fitness Pal at www.myfitnesspal.com. that will track what he eats, adding, "It's probably one of the ways I recovered three months earlier than they told me I would."
His lifestyle change also included purchasing a new high-quality blender that allows him to get vital nutrients from more fruits and vegetables, which as he says, "changed my life."
On a scale of 1 to 10, Albert gives himself a 9 as far as being fully recovered, explaining that his cardiologist, Dr. James Marcum, told him that his heart health had gone from 35, which is not good, to about 50.
"He said there is a 10 percent area in my heart that has not healed yet," Albert recalled. "He said time might heal that. The reason I feel I'm at a 9 is because of the medication. I'm on a beta blocker to slow my heart down so it doesn't pump too much blood. I'm trying to do what he says. For me, this was all totally unexpected. I felt great. I'd been working out four or five days a week and loved doing it."
Reflecting on how far he has come after his surprising heart attack and what he would advise others to do, Albert said, "I don't know of any other way than to say you've got to radically change your diet. If you want to get well you've got to exercise. You've got to do it more than twice a week. You've got to do it at least three to four times a week."
Albert's lifestyle includes riding his stationary bike for the equivalence of 10 miles, and walking in his basement for a mile and a half several times a week. When asked what he would recommend for anyone who has a family history of heart disease, Albert responded, "When I look back on it, that was my biggest error. I should have said to myself, 'Mom died with this. My sister died with this. My brother has heart disease. I'd better get a checkup!
"This could have been prevented. I could have been helped without any heart damage. That is my only regret. I would say if your family has a history of heart disease you really need to go in and have an angiogram (the gold standard for finding blockages in the arteries). Most people don't want to take the time, but it's really, really worth it. My doctors feel with proper diet and exercise I can now overcome the other two blockages."
Albert, who serves as the coordinator of personal evangelism with the Church of God USA mission, had been on a minimal six-month travel restriction after traveling regularly for four decades.
"My work is field work," he said. "I work with our local churches in the field. Although I am not a clergyman, I work in helping our pastors. This is a work of my life which I dearly love."
Now that the restrictions are off, Albert said he is going to try and travel twice a month, making between 20 to 25 trips in a year. He said he is especially grateful for a system of support that has accelerated his physical progress.
"One of the reasons I feel my health got back in 90 days was the family support system," he said. "My wife was totally into this. She helped prepare the meals. We went online and found recipes. She changed her eating habits too! I think the support system that you have from your family is very important. Also, I found out I had a lot of people who cared about me that I never knew — people praying for me! The reflective mood that I have is that people should be more cautious — because even when you think you're OK, you're not. What we eat is our life."
Albert, who was the recipient of Lee University's F.J. Lee Award, the highest recognition for a member of a graduating class, went on to develop a local church-based men's ministry with over 2,400 chapters worldwide, called LifeBuilders. He also served as the administrative secretary and international director of Lay Ministries for the Church of God.
With a warm social grace, Albert said he feels humbled and blessed to be alive, willing and able to share his experience in the hopes that it may help others to take a second look at their family history and possibly avoid what he suffered.
The CDC says "Genetic factors likely play some role in high blood pressure, heart disease, and other vascular conditions. The risk for heart disease can increase even more when heredity is combined with unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as smoking cigarettes and eating a poor diet."
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States (approximately 600,000 deaths each year) and is a major cause of disability. You can help prevent heart disease by making healthy choices and managing any medical conditions you may have.

The multiplayer experience certainly is. The new strategic focus is on macromanagement instead of micromanagement, which has changed how the game handles things like mineral mining and commanding armies. In the original StarCraft, for example, you could only command twelve units at a time. In StarCraft II, the upper limit for unit control is in the hundreds. As a result, controlling a large army is much less about the minute commands given to small groups. In addition, all abilities are now activated one at a time when a group is selected. This allows you to target your abilities much more effectively without having to select each unit in turn.
Multiplayer matchmaking has also been improved significantly from the list of games approach used in StarCraft. All you have to do now is to select your game type and let Battle.Net find a game for you. These games are automatically weighted for you to find a game roughly around your skill level, which appears to have decreased the newbie stomping seen in the ladder matches of old. All players also have to go through a process for determining their league that consists of a few games where you're put up against fellow newbies. You generally get dozens of extremely exciting games, as they aren't over in the first few minutes.
Still, the graphics and sound for the game are as stellar as any Blizzard Entertainment release, barring the voice for the Zerg announcer. Everything is rendered in full 3D, and you can zoom in or zoom out like in Warcraft III. You can't zoom out very far, but still. The units and buildings for the game look just as good up close as far away. The menus are also just as sleek as the original, with plenty of animations and transitions between each stage. Almost everything is signaled by a sound of some sort too, so it seems like SC2's interface is just about finalized at this point.

Feb 11, 2010 8:48 PM by Monica Quintero
It's been a big problem in Santa Maria and local leaders said solving youth violence will take the entire community. A three-day event wrapped up on Thursday which addressed that issue. More than 100 people took part. They pinpointed the largest problems in the community.
Mike Cordero, Santa Maria City Council, said, "It's not something that any one person or any one group of people or any one segment of the community is going to be able to resolve."
The stories are disturbing. Back in April, trails of blood marked the spot where an 18-year-old was stabbed and shot in a Santa Maria neighborhood. In June, police said someone fired at least 20-rounds at a victim's vehicle.
There were also nine suspected gang members arrested during a December gang enforcement operation. Cordero said, "We don't want to create another band aid." At a press conference, city leaders said the key to putting an end to violence starts with the youth. That's why out of the more than 100 people who took part about a dozen were young people.
Hilda Zacarias, Santa Maria City Council, said, "The 100 plus people that were there are different today than the folks who walked in the room on Tuesday. They're different because they started to form the relationships across their different groups."
"There was obviously some barriers between us and by the end I saw a transition there," said Cordero. Zacarias said, "For me, that means the work is going to have an impact as of now." A transition community leaders hope will put a stop to violence in Santa Maria.
So how long will it take for this problem to go away? Local leaders said it's not an overnight solution, this could take years. They also plan on forming small groups to address specific issues in hopes of resolving violence. Those involved said they came up with a list of problems they want to tackle including poverty, education, the economic realities and language barriers in the community.

CHICAGO - An American who scouted targets for the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India, pleaded guilty in court on Thursday to a dozen criminal charges.
David Coleman Headley, arrested in October in a Chicago airport, agreed to cooperate with the prosecution and U.S. intelligence agencies in exchange for dropping the death penalty.
Headley, 49, considered one of the most senior terror operatives in the U.S., will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
At Thursday's hearing, Headley detailed his role in the Mumbai attacks, which killed more than 160 people, including six Americans.
After attending training camps run by Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani terror group, Headley made five trips to Mumbai, using the name Daood Gilani, to scout out targets for the attack.
"Headley's confession and his admission to all the 12 charges against him has substantiated our claim that the Lashkar-e-Taiba was directly behind the attacks," India's public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told The Times of India on Friday.
In Mumbai, Headley videotaped possible targets and used a global-positioning device to help the terrorists plan the four-pronged attacks on the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels, a train station and a Jewish cultural center.
Headley also told the court of his plot to kill employees at a Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the prophet Mohammad in 2005.
According to his testimony, Headley met with retired Pakistani military officer Abdur Rehman Hashim Syed and with Ilyas Kashmiri, who worked directly with senior al-Qaeda operatives.
Kashmiri passed on instructions from al-Qaeda to behead the newspaper employees and toss their heads out the window to achieve the maximum effect on the Danish government.
Part of the plea bargain includes Headley's continuing cooperation with U.S. intelligence agents in exchange for not being extradited to India, Denmark or Pakistan.
According to his attorney, Headley has cooperated with the authorities since his arrest on October 3 and is providing information that could potentially thwart future attacks by al-Qaeda operatives.

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education has approved a 180-day calendar for the next school year, eliminating five days from the 185-day version it had requested earlier.
But in order to fit in all instructional hours required by state law, some elementary school schedules will have to be lengthened by about 15 minutes.
The committee received feedback from teachers saying that they prefer staying with a 180-day calendar, which allows for 14 teacher work days. Had they approved the 185-day calendar, the school system would have to rely largely on Saturdays to make up for inclement weather days.
The calendar for the current school year includes eight work days and six system training days. Next year, there will be 14 work days and just two system training days.

'How to work with Britannia and make her a contemporary image and not just appear nationalistic?' was the challenge David Mach set himself when asked to create a new portrait of Britannia for 2011 coins. It was a question answered brilliantly for, marrying Britannia's long history with modern values, he has created a Britannia that reaches into the very heart of British consciousness, a symbol of enduring patriotism, seated among the billowing folds of the Union Flag.
The four sister coins in the Gold Proof Britannia family of 2011, including the wonderfully impressive £100 coin – exclusive to this set – each features Britannia's new portrait. Minted in 22 carat yellow gold to Proof quality and splendidly presented, the coins come complete with a Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing that no more than 1,000 sets will ever be issued.
The Britannia gold collection for 2011 is now available with each of the four companion coins bearing the very patriotic portrait of Britannia by David Mach RA. All four coins, the highest denomination coins of the realm, are struck in 22 carat yellow gold to glorious Proof quality – the large £100 coin contains a full ounce of gold, the £50 a half-ounce, the £25 and £10 a quarter-ounce and tenth ounce respectively. The family comes in a handsome presentation case with a uniquely numbered Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing the issue limit of just 1,250 sets*.

P.S. - In case you haven't read the first message, Albert DeLestang is a very nice lily. Large white flowers are produced quite freely and stand up to 2 feet out of the water. On the first few days of blooming, Albert is blue and then fades to white. Albert is an austrailain lily but does not grow as large as some of the other aussies so it can be easily accomidated in nearly any size pond. Thank you. |

I used to do our taxes, but for the last 10 years or so we had them prepared for us, because of itemizing, 2 different State taxes, and a 1099.
This year, we only have one State tax, but I still have the 1099 to deal with plus itemizing.
Which tax software has worked for you? I looked at both Turbo Tax and H & R Block's software at Walmart. The H & R Block was cheaper, but after looking at reviews for it, it appeared that a lot of people had some type of problem with it updating "something".
I'm also unsure if I would need to purchase the Deluxe or Premium software since I have a 1099 to deal with. I couldn't really tell just from looking at the packaging. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I have "Other" listed as an option in case someone is aware of something other than Turbo Tax and H & R Block. If there is another one, please let me know.

Hi, has anyone had any success growing hippies in sand alone? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Several on the list grow them hydroponically...and others in totally inorganic mixes (heavy in sand, perlite, grit, etc). Hmmm...interesting thought. |
I've come across a church yard where the gardener has grown white hippies with only builders' sand. Malaysia is hot, so I reckon with watering once a day, they might actually like a cool, sandy medium? Gardener doesn't do anything, like dormant periods in the fridge, yet they're blooming non stop! |

I can't use only sand, it causes my bulbs to rot, holds too much water as the air space between particles is incredibly small creating a not so great amount of air exchange. |
What about growing these bulbs in TURFACE-MVP, which is a fired-clay product that looks like 1/4" pottery chips. This produce soaks in moisture, -like a clay flower pot- but allows air to get to the root zone. There are other clay "pebbles" used for hydroponics out there also. I wonder if these will be good for Hipp. growing? Frank |
Frank, You might find this interesting... Donna http://www.landspro.com/forums/showthread.php?5354-Growing-Hippeastrum-Hydroponically |
sorry, couldn't access that forum? Has anybody else tried? What does it say anyway? Would love to know more, please. |
If you hi-light the above link, (turns blue) it automatically shows in your google search bar at the top of your screen..just press search and it should take you right there...if it doesn't work for you I'll try something else... |
@BronxFigs I would start off in regular potting soil (mixed with a lightener like vermiculite, ideally) to start, if you want reliable results, then experiment with extras or when you get the hang of it. Everything I have read about them is that they like highly-organic soil. I think they are heavy feeders and it's hard for me to see how sand, clay chips, etc would hold fertilizer for them without burning the roots. Maybe in a more humid climate they can grow in a dry medium. Here in CO where the air is not humid, they like highly-organic soil, such as 50% peat, which can hold a lot of water even though it also holds a lot of air. I have found that the hippeastrums can get very dry and don't mind, but that the ones that are grown in clay pots (even with regular soil) are still a bit too dry for them because it wicks the moisture away. I think of them as liking to grow in airy soil that is theoretically moist enough that the pockets of air would have condensation on the inside of them. Also keep in mind that when they are growing flowers, they need a HUGE amount of water because that stem is completely filled with water and can grow a couple inches a day. If you ever cut off a firm hippeastrum stem, you will find that water literally pours out of it. Let it dry out and it becomes a whithered shoestring-like string of fibers a fraction of its former weight; clearly the vast majority of it is water. So blooming time is a short period when they need much more water than they do at all other times, and I would think it's important to have them in a medium that can accommodate that. |
Thanks Pizzuti. I've potted up mine in a moisture rich garden loam as well as some in sand alone. I water them all daily in the morning. Our rainfall is pretty heavy throughout the yr. At the tail end of the yr - last 3 mths is our monsoon. Lots of rain there! 80 ins a whole yr in fact. Most of it just pours out at this time. I'll await to see which one of these medium produces the scapes. So far, despite dormant periods in the fridge for a whole mth and in darkness in the store room for some, I see only leaves and no scapes. But I'm hopeful, yet! |

Damiana the Aprhodisiac (the Big O)
So I'm doing some research, trying to find a cheeky birthday gift for a good girlfriend and fellow Vodkaphile when I come across Damiana— a light liqueur made with the damiana herb native to Baha California, Mexico. It apparently has great mixability and a sweetness that works well as a shooter. Legend has it that Damiana was used to make the first ever Margarita. I was nearly sold even though I was originally looking for Vodka—then I saw the bottle which is modeled after an Incan Goddess of Fertility, and was completely sold.
Damiana As An Aphrodisiac
Being the Herb Nerd that I am, I continued to dig around and learned that the herb was used as far back as the Mayans. Also, damiana has been used quite a bit to treat anxiety and mild depression. But get this—it is also a widely known aphrodisiac, increasing sexual libido in both men and women. Damiana is the active ingredient in Vigorelle, a very popular female enhancement cream that significantly increases blood flow and sensitivity when applied to the, uh, Little Man in the Boat.
Although I don't have a problem getting from A to B when traveling with the Mister (or by my lonesome for that matter), getting from A to B quickly and more often is certainly welcome. That said, I don't know if sheer curiosity is enough motivation to be a DIY guinea pig in this case. The liqueur I shall purchase,but the damiana leaf…gonna have to sleep on that one.
If you're as chicken $hit as I am, and simply want to try the liqueur, here's a recipe. Cheers!
Damiana Margarita
(via Los Cabos Magazine)
2 oz 100% blue agave tequila
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1-1/2 oz Damiana liqueur
Combine and shake with ice for 30 seconds then strain into a salt-rimmed (optional) martini glass garnished with a lime slice.
Note: Neither the herb, nor the liqueur is recommended for those pregnant, or those who could become pregnant. Always consult a physician before taking any herb, or herbal supplement.

Old Spice kicked off day 2 of its social gift-giving holiday campaign with a video gift to the residents of Billings, Montana, who apparently can now check out a billboard thank you, too. W+K started marketing the return of Old Spice Man Isaiah Mustafa in earnest today, buying space on Yahoo (see below) and other highly trafficked websites.

Smart cities provide people with a way of life that is more convenient and comfortable, while still being conscious of the environment. Here we consider peoples lifestyles in terms of the different activities they engage in during their daily lives: living, work, study, and travel.
Linking electrical products in the home via a network can provide the people who live there with a well-balanced lifestyle.
By using authentication techniques together with the cloud and other technologies to automate the procedures associated with public administration and financial institutions, people can enjoy living anywhere, as if it were a place with which they were already familiar.
When combined with security technology, the cloud can provide businesses with safe access to those resources they actually need.
Waste-free, energy-saving factories can be constructed by coordinating factory production plans with energy management systems that cover an entire industrial district.
Making schools and other educational institutions smarter by linking them together in networks can free students from restrictions, such as those of place or the progress of their academic career.
Opportunities for learning that transcend age and status can be created by needs matching based on data that has been collated on who wants to teach and who wants to learn.
Through practices such as car sharing or the use electric vehicles (EVs), it is possible to use vehicles in a way that does not waste energy and is kind to the environment.
Coordinating the operation of different forms of public transportation helps people to get where they are going efficiently and easily.

I'm looking for the Bok Choy (possibly?) Asian Ramen Salad person who brought this tasty dish to Tara's on 6/1. I have never tasted as good a salad as that one so I'm quite anxiously in need of the recipe for the upcoming hot summer months. Would you kindly either post here or e-mail me directly. Thanks so very much.

I loved a different asian salad. It was like coleslaw, but had a different sauce and was fabulous! I'd love the recipe for that one. I almost made a post just like Ginny's to ask for it. |
Well it wasn't me but it was awsome so I zam bouncing this back up to the top. Penny |
Hi, Sorry I haven't been around to answer sooner. I'm pretty sure it was one of Tara's friends from out her way. I was in the kitchen when a couple of them were discussing the salad. Remy |

Season 4 ended with many jaw-dropping moments, but one of the biggest surprises would have to be the return of Fellowship of the Sun leader and notorious vamp-hater Steve Newlin…with added fangs! The Reverend's reappearance in Bon Temps and the reasons behind it have raised many questions, so let's take a stab at some of them.
Reverend Steve made his return to True Blood after an absence of nearly two seasons when he showed up at Jason Stackhouse's door as the world's most unlikely trick or treater, greeting a stunned Jason by popping fang. But has Steve really, ahem, grown a pair? Or are his retractable chompers part of a Halloween costume? I think it would certainly be more interesting if he has now taken on a 'if you can't beat them join them' mentality towards the creatures he once wanted to eradicate, and is now using his new abilities to hunt down old enemies. But it's also a possibility that we are being swerved, and Steve simply wanted to spook Jason a little before the true reason for his return is revealed.
If he is a vampire, who turned him?
This is probably the most interesting question to me, and one that has many possibilities. Steve's anti-vampire Fellowship of the Sun church was based in Dallas, and he angered many of the city's vampfolk when he orchestrated the bombing of Godric's house that left many dead. So the vampires of Texas certainly have reason enough to capture the Rev and teach him the ultimate lesson by turning him into the very thing he despises. Another possibility is that Steve went to them willingly, wanting to be turned for some reason. Along with these two scenarios, will we then see the return of one of the Dallas vamps (maybe Godric's underling Isabel?) or even a new vampire character from Texas?
Also possible is that another returning character, Russell Edgington, has been very busy indeed in the short time has been free and is setting whatever new plans he has in motion by turning Steve. Or it could be…absolutely anybody else! Somebody we already know, such as Nan Flanagan (one last grand PR move before her demise) or Pam, Eric or Bill (unlikely, but you never know). Or maybe one of the new vampire characters already announced to appear, or maybe even a complete random who we will never see!
What is his status with the Fellowship of the Sun?
From seeing their picketing at Fangtasia early in Season 4, we know the Fellowship is still very much active and still less than keen on anyone of the fanged persuasion. But what is Steve's current place in the organization? Is he still the head honcho, or has he been replaced by someone even more extreme? And if he has been missing and away from the Church, just how are his 'followers' going to take the news if he is really a vamp now? I hope we haven't seen the last of the Fellowship, their redneckery and closed-mindedness is such a great parody of religious extremism.
What does he want with Jason?
The Reverend and Jason have had an interesting history to say the least. Jason did end up sleeping with Steve's wife and shooting him the head with a paintball, but before that Jason was Steve's favourite Light of Day recruit and the Rev was very fond of him to say the least (I'm convinced Steve did have a boner for Jason the whole time. He enjoyed seeing him shirtless way too much, and did you see where he was looking when he showed up the door?!) So what exactly does he plan to do with Jason now? Kill him? Recruit him again? Seduce him?
But perhaps most importantly…where the hell is Sarah?!
Sarah Newlin, I heart you. Still one of my fave characters ever (the golfcart scene: EPIC.) Please come back to grill ribs in a sexual fashion, whip out your pudding, and have sex in a church.
Praise his light! So who's excited for the return of the Reverend?

For the most updated tuition and fees, please go to Student Accounts website.
The Religious Studies Department offers, on a competitive basis, several types of assistantships. All types of assistantships include a full waiver of tuition. All students granted an assistantship, whether residents or nonresidents, pay only the flat fee mentioned above.
In addition, assistants receive a stipend of $3,000 or more per semester. Assuming satisfactory performance, students admitted with assistantships can usually expect to receive four semesters of stipend support. Support past this time is possible but should not be expected.
All types of assistants must register for at least 18 hours of graduate level credit each semester. These 18 hours should include at least 3 hours of Rels 8960, Research Assistantship. Students who receive an assistantship for the summer term must register for 12 hours during the summer semester. While the specific tasks asked of assistants vary somewhat from year to year, what follows should provide some sense of what an assistant might expect to do:
There is no special application form. Unless a student asks not to be considered for an assistantship, all those newly accepted into the program are considered. Students must be enrolled in classes full time (18 graduate level credit hours) and be in residence to receive an assistantship.
The department is forced to make difficult decisions and cannot provide assistance to all those who deserve it. For those applying to the program, assistantship decisions are based on the materials in the admission file and the procedure is similar to the one described under "Admission." For students in the program, factors such as GPA, progress towards the degree, and the professors' views of the academic ability of the applicant are considered.
On the last business day of the month. Note that the first paycheck of an academic year is paid on the last of September.
Visit the webpage for the tuition and fees and follow the links.
Only a very limited number of RELS 2001 sections are offered during the summer. We recognize that there are many talented graduate student instructors who may wish to teach during the summer, and there may be more instructors than sections. Summer teaching assignments will be made according to the three factors listed below. No teaching assignments will be made to students whose GPA falls below 3.2 (where GPA includes all graduate-level letter-graded courses). The compressed teaching schedule in the summer makes instruction especially challenging, so graduate students who have taught RELS 2001 at least once will be considered for teaching positions before students who have not taught the course before are considered.

After being drafted last month, Matt Ustaski has to be ready.
The Glenview native and Lake Forest Academy grad was selected 192nd overall in the NHL draft by the Winnipeg Jets. Though he will play college hockey for Wisconsin, the Jets could sign him to a professional contract at any time over the next four years — even in the middle of the season.
Ustaski will not be on edge.
"I hope to have a really good year and take it by a year-to-year basis," he said. "I have four years of eligibility here, so there's really no rush to go into pro hockey."
Ustaski is a big center who dominates faceoffs and displays remarkable quickness and hand-eye coordination.
"He's got very, very good hands, especially for a big man, and an extremely good shot," said Darrin Madeley, Ustaski's coach at Lake Forest Academy. "He's a monster. He's 6-6, 225. You can't teach size."

A brand-new mobile web app makes it easier than ever to stay current with Chesterfield County Public Schools. Developed in-house by the school system's graphic design/web specialist, this free app for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices provides news feed, calendar and phone numbers.
Information at mychesterfieldschools.com tells users of iPhones, iPads, Droids and Blackberries how to add the app icon to their devices.
The mobile web app is another online innovation by Chesterfield County Public Schools, which during this school year has changed its website address, redesigned its online presence and launched an e-newsletter for the community. The new address for the school system's website is mychesterfieldschools.com, which replaced the previous URL of chesterfield.k12.va.us.
"Our new web address more accurately expresses how our community feels about its public schools," Superintendent Marcus J. Newsome said. "This community loves its schools and takes pride in our schools and students."
In addition to featuring feeds from the school system's Facebook and Twitter accounts, the redesigned website lets visitors subscribe to an RSS feed so they are notified of updates. The website works in all browsers but works best in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
School Notes, the community e-newsletter, is published once or twice a month. Community members who are not already receiving School Notes can sign up by going to mychesterfieldschools.com and clicking "Join our mailing list" in the top right corner of the screen.
"Our goal is to effectively deliver accurate and timely messages to parents, students, employees and the community," Dr. Newsome said. "We use a variety of methods because people get their information from a variety of sources."
Here are some of the additional ways the school system communicates: Information is available at www.facebook.com/chesterfieldschools [2] and www.twitter.com/ccpsinfo [3]. School Board meetings are shown live on Comcast Channel 17 and Verizon Channel 27, and the school system has an educational TV channel on Comcast Channel 96 and Verizon Channel 26. Chesterfield County Public Schools provides information to local TV, print and radio media outlets.

Geolocation Privacy Legislation
Updated October 10, 2014
On this page:
This page provides information on congressional bills that seek to clarify how personal location information may be used by law enforcement, companies, employers, and others. It is not intended to influence or express opinions on any ongoing legal deliberations.
Several U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions have enacted laws establishing personal location privacy rights. However, current U.S. statute at the federal level does not provide clear protection of geolocation information.
Learn more about GPS and privacyTransportation, HUD, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015
Section 432 of the House version of the FY 2015 transportation spending bill prohibits the use of funds to mandate GPS tracking or event data recorders in personal motor vehicles. View text
Bill Status
The bill passed the House on June 10, 2014. Section 432 originated as a House floor amendment introduced by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL). The Senate version of the bill does not mention GPS tracking.
A similar provision appeared in the House version of the FY 2013 transportation funding act. View PDF (300 KB) It passed the House but was not included in the final continuing resolution for FY 2013.
GPS Act
The Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act seeks to establish a legal framework that gives government agencies, commercial entities, and private citizens clear guidelines for when and how geolocation information can be accessed and used.
The bill would create a process whereby government agencies can get a probable cause warrant to obtain geolocation information in the same way that they currently get warrants for wiretaps or other types of electronic surveillance.
In addition, the GPS Act would prohibit businesses from disclosing geographical tracking data about its customers to others without the customers' permission.
Bill Status
On March 21, 2013, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Mark Kirk (R-IL), and Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) reintroduced the legislation for the 113th Congress. The bills were referred to each chamber's judiciary committee and the House intelligence committee.
Sen. Wyden and Rep. Chaffetz originally introduced the legislation during the 112th Congress, and the House judiciary committee held one hearing on it. View hearing at house.gov
Online Communications and Geolocation Protection Act
More info:
The Online Communications and Geolocation Protection Act contains many of the same provisions as the GPS Act, but also includes safeguards for online communications.
Bill Status
On March 6, 2013, Representatives Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Ted Poe (R-TX), and Suzan DelBene (D-WA) reintroduced the legislation for the 113th Congress. The bill was referred to the House judiciary and intelligence committees.
Rep. Lofgren originally introduced the legislation as the ECPA 2.0 Act of 2012 during the 112th Congress, but it was not considered.
Location Privacy Protection Act
More info:
The Location Privacy Protection Act of 2014 would prohibit companies from collecting or disclosing geolocation information from an electronic communications device without the user's consent. It provides exceptions for parents tracking their children, emergency services, law enforcement, and other cases.
The bill would also prohibit development and distribution of "stalking apps," establish an Anti-Stalking Fund at the Department of Justice, and take other steps to prevent geolocation-enabled violence against women.
Bill Status
On March 27, 2014, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) reintroduced this legislation for the 113th Congress. The bill was referred to the judiciary committee, which held a hearing about it on June 4, 2014. View hearing at senate.gov
Sen. Franken originally introduced the legislation during the 112th Congress, and it passed the committee in December 2012.

Seems like you have all the info.. It is indeed a piece of oak from the golden period of oak furniture...about 1890 to 1920 or so. It's lovely, beautiful condition a mix of solid wood and veneers....and it does indeed have 2 curved glass doors...not terribly rare, but very desirable style. It's a great piece! Enjoy! Linda C |

When it was made, that was from a top of the line manufacturer. Marvelous curio or china cabinet. I'm feeling covetous! |

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan defends McManaman tackle
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan says Callum McManaman's challenge on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara was not reckless.
Haidara has suspected knee ligament damage following the studs-up challenge by the English forward.
"The ball was there and McManaman got the ball as clean as a whistle, then followed through and they collided," Whelan told BBC Sport.
The Latics player is set to receive at least a three-match ban for the tackle in the Wigan's 2-1 win over Newcastle.
"He hasn't gone over the ball. That's an accident," added Whelan.
"From Wigan Athletic we want to say to that lad we hope he's fit to play next week or a fortnight because we don't wish ill on any of the opponents we play against. Football being football it is a tough game and these accidents do happen."
The Latics chief continued: "I think the ball was in between them, they've both gone for it fairly and the follow through is where the collision is.
"You can't just drop your foot or stop, they are both going at each other at 18 or 20mph and they collide. It happens."
The Wigan chairman had his leg broken in the 1960 FA Cup final while playing for Blackburn and the injury cut short his career.
"When I broke my leg in the cup final it was exactly the same type of tackle," he said.
"We both went for the ball. It brought back memories. It ruined my career. I am not going to criticise Norman Deeley.
"These things happen in football. He came over the ball but he didn't do it with the aim of breaking my leg."
McManaman, 21, who was making his first start in the Premier League, got a slight touch of the ball before following through and catching the defender on the knee and thigh. Haidara received lengthy treatment before being carried off on a stretcher.
The Football Association is set to take retrospective action as referee Mark Halsey did not see the incident, paving the way for them to step in.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew's frustration was compounded when Maynor Figueroa appeared to handle in the build-up to Arouna Kone's 90th-minute winner for Wigan.
"It was an awful tackle. I have got a boy going to hospital and that's a worse feeling than losing," said Pardew.
"It looks like knee ligaments and he's got terrible bruising on his leg as well."
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez admitted it was a bad challenge but also defended McManaman after the game.
"If the opposing player has a bad injury, as a club we will contact the player," added Martinez.
"I can guarantee that it is part of his enthusiasm and trying to fight for every ball. Maybe it's just a striker's tackle.
"I believe it is a bad challenge but it's not malicious."

20th March 2013 - 17:01The FA's decision would be laughable if it wasn't so serious a matter.. surely SURELY you have got to listen to what players/fans are saying..
I also agree with comments that the fouling player's suspension should be linked to how long the fouled player is out in recovery. If you choose to make a risky/bad tackle, why should the innocent party cop all the risk/pain? -

Pragmatic View
20th March 2013 - 13:43I take it this is the same Mr. Whelan that said in May 2010 in Lancashire Post "Norman Deeley came right over the ball. today he would have been sent off and banned for a long time ........ he came for me not the ball"?
Amazing !!!! -

19th March 2013 - 21:23Very polarised thread. Either:
a) those stating the facts (there's no intent, & football is a contact sport where accidents will happen), &
b) those who have based their opinion on their prejudices concerning 'smaller' teams, personal dislikes & blatant lies (ie: "he didn't get the ball"), & one muppet who has re-written the challenge as both feet off the floor & all 12 studs over the ball...

To be honest, I've never been much of a cook. I get frustrated with recipes that seem to have so many little details and include odd ingredients that I don't usually keep in my kitchen. I love using the internet, so I decided to see if I could find a site that could help me find my 'inner cook' !
Comfort foods, Italian and Mexican dishes. A great Filet Mingon with a twice-baked potato and field green salad is pretty close to the perfect meal.

Don Hay back behind the bench for Canadian juniors
If there's one World Junior tournament that I had to peg as my all-time most memorable, it would have to be Red Deer in 1995. Thanks to a lockout shortened season in the NHL, the '95 Canada squad was stacked with players that probably could have been playing in the NHL that season. The likes of Ed Jovanovski, Jason Allison, Ryan Smyth, Eric Daze and Jeff O'Neill all returned to junior that season and helped Canada go 7-0 on their way to the Gold Medal. Alexandre Daigle also played for Canada that year, and his underwhelming play in Red Deer was one of the first indications that he was little more than a bag of hype.
Don Hay was the head coach of Canada that year. Hay would bolt for the NHL by 1996 after winning the gold and back-to-back Memorial Cups with the Kamloops Blazers. On Thursday, Don Hay was named head coach of Team Canada for next year's World Junior tournament. Go nostalgia!
Pronger on Richards as captain: "I think he's made some strides"
Chris Pronger addressed a reporter's question via conference call about whether or not Mike Richards should hand over his 'C'. Via CSNPhilly:
"What good does that do?" Pronger asked, about the idea of Richards stepping down. "That is the most ridiculous thought I have heard yet."
"This is on-the-job training for Mike," he continued. "I was brought in to help him be a captain and do all the rest of that and kind of help with my experiences. I think I got here, he was 24. He's now 26. I think he's made some strides."
Perron preparing for return
St. Louis' David Perron hasn't begun any training yet, but he has reportedly been feeling better to the point where he's getting closer.
No replacement for Jeanneret yet
By now you've probably heard that Rick Jeanneret will be cutting back his broadcasting schedule with the Buffalo Sabres for next season, as John Vogl reports: there is no replacement imminent.
How the NHL has changed between Winnipeg franchises
Down Goes Brown with his Friday offering of hilariousness with 'A Jets fan's guide to how the NHL has changed since 1996′:
1996 – After you were done reading about the Jets, you could turn to other pages of your newspaper and find stories about the Hartford Whalers, Vancouver Grizzlies and Montreal Expos.
2011 – Young fans probably don't even know they ever existed. Newspapers, I mean.
