Dad returns from deployment, surprises son at football gameTuesday, September 10th, 2013 Issue 37, Volume 17.
Shayne Oberhuber, a quarterback and captain on the freshman football team walked out with his fellow captains for the pre-game meeting at the center of the field. Unbeknownst to him, his father -- dressed as a referee -- was walking out to the middle of the field Advertisement MSgt Oberhuber has had five combat deployments: four in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He was home for only fifteen days and was able to see his sons first freshman football game. He returns to complete his one-year tour. The boys had a great game, even though they lost, but the highlight of the game was this special surprise moment between father and son. 3 comments
Awesooto !!!! I really would like to see more of these type of stories every night on the news. It is such a great joy for me too see this. I believe the whole United States would like to see more. We are so proud of what they do. God Bless Them! Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
I meant Awesome (typo)
I was so happy to read about my son, MSgt John Oberhuber being able to surprise my grandson, Shayne at his first freshmen football game. Even better to be able to see a picture of the father & son hugging! Being on the east coast, I was not able to be there in person to see it live. Just knowing that John is in the states, even for a short time, will be enjoying spending some time with his family. Thank you for publishing this human interest story....I enjoyed reading it.

Pope Innocent III on Concelebration
Innocent III (1198-1216; was he the pope under whom England became a feudal subject of the Holy See?) takes it for granted that "from time to time many priests concelebrate" and adds "the Cardinal Presbyters of Rome have been accustomed to stand around the the Pontiff and to consecrate together with him" - a pretty blunt and authoritative indication from the Bishop of Rome as to the meaning of the Rites of his own Church. What concerns him is this very question of what happens if they don't keep their voices together at the words of Consecration. "Is the one who first pronounces the words the only one who confects the Sacrament?" His answer to this is that "Whether the priests utter them before or after, their intention must be referred to the instant at which the Bishop says them, with whom principally they are concelebrating, and then all consecrate and confect at the same time".
I wonder if S Thomas Aquinas agrees with that? I'd better have a look in the Summa.
This series continues in the near future.

I wonder if S Thomas Aquinas agrees with that? I'd better have a look in the Summa.
It seems likely: "An intention is an act of the will, presupposing the ordination of reason, ordering something to an end" he says.
Therefore, if one intends to concelebrate, the end one intends is to celebrate with and not before others.
But I'd be fascinated to hear if you can find anything to the contrary though. - 03 November, 2009

The king met Pandulf, the papal legate, at Dover on 15 May 1213 and agreed to hold the kingdoms of England and Ireland as a fief of God and the ROman Church for which he would do liege homage and pay a tribute of 1,000 marks sterling each year.
Good King John! - 03 November, 2009

Good King John indeed! I much prefer him to his brother who was a worse King but had better spin doctors.
With all the accusations of his antipathy to the Church, he still asked to be buried at Worcester Cathedral.
It would be great to find and recover his crown jewels - with land reclamation and all that, they are probably now in some farmer's field. I suppose they will turn up some day. - 03 November, 2009
- Joshua said...
The consecration by several priests together is a moral unity, inasmuch as they all act in the person of Christ the Priest, and He is one.
That said, I have always wondered what would happen if an overeager priest blurted out Hoc est enim Corpus meum well ahead of the massed voices of the other concelebrants... - 04 November, 2009
- Fr John Hunwicke SSC, said...
I thought, Joshua, that that was exactly where I started off!
- 04 November, 2009
- Joshua said...
I can be a tad inattentive...
My P.P. last year was joking about this with me - he says the EF, and claimed that, if called upon to concelebrate at the OF, he would effect the consecration of the Host by saying the "Hoc est enim corpus meum" alone, whereas all the rest wouldn't achieve the result till they had added "quod pro vobis tradetur", or however it goes in the vernacular! - 04 November, 2009

A super comfortable weight that doesn't sacrifice on tone.
The new Hagstrom Metropolis-S is a revolutionary hybrid of a single-cut body, infused with a bolt-on neck, delivering a bright and jangly tone that will satisfy any gigging musicians needs to deliver anything from sparkling country to spanking punk all wrapped up in one package. The Metropolis-S's resonant and lightweight body will tantalize those that demand a comfortable and versatile instrument that will "lighten the load" off a working musician's back, while allowing a wide variation of splendorous tones at the flick of a switch. The sonic core of the tone can be best described as "percussive and detailed". A newly designed matched set of single-coiled pickups labeled as "C-Spin," exemplifies "Bell Like" classic tone, being recognizable from single-coil equipped instruments originating from the 1960s. Take a walk down memory lane together with the Hagstrom Metropolis-S, as you may have found your long-lost love.

We are a dynamic, faith-based theatre program serious about our calling in the arts.
Anderson University offers professional theatre training in the context of a rigorous but caring environment. The department has one of very few musical theatre programs where Christian faith is celebrated. Students take classes in acting, voice, dance, period/style, auditions and technical theatre so that they can be competitive in all areas of the field. We produce four main-stage productions per year including a Broadway-style musical, and a freshman and senior showcase. Students are also eligible to participate in two yearly gala events and several choirs sponsored by the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
Our beautiful campus is located in Anderson, South Carolina, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, about two hours northeast of Atlanta and two hours southwest of Charlotte.
Our theatre degrees include:
There are five facilities used by theatre students, including the intimate and flexible Belk Theatre, the grand Henderson auditorium, the acoustic Daniel Recital Hall, the historic Merritt Theatre, and the Hunt Chapel.
The program, while offering many of the same courses as a conservatory, is intentionally based in the liberal arts for an accredited and well-rounded educational experience. The theatre curriculum works hand-in-hand with the AU Playhouse to offer students practical experience in performance, stage-management and technical theatre.
The Department actively participates in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival and the Southeastern Theatre Conference and has had significant success in both. This past February, we were invited to bring the musical Barnum to the Southeast regional festival (Region IV) of KCACTF. Our graduates have continued to further their education at the master's degree level and to pursue vibrant careers in theatre or related fields such as education, ministry and marketing.

Tim Cook Apologizes for Terrible iOS 6 Maps, Doesn't Even Mention Wifi Issues
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the meeting when Tim Cook decided a product he'd overseen was terrible enough to warrant a public apology. The (faux?) humility, the palpable disappointment.
In a letter published to the Apple website and addressed to customers, Mr. Cook apologized for the frustration that the widely-panned Apple maps has caused.
However, tech journalists everywhere are still waiting for an apology from Mr. Cook for having such a boring story dominate the news cycle, as well as giving Google a reason to act ever more smug. Read More

In case infographics are not your cup of tea, here are the 2012 vs 2013 New Year's Resolutions results in a Power Point Presentation. You'll see the top four resolutions from 2012 are the same for 2013. Here they are:
Do your New Year resolutions change from year to year? Or do you find that often times you begin the new year will similar goals as the year prior?
The FranklinPlanner.com team recently conducted a survey to identify New Year's Resolutions for 2013, and compared them to 2012 findings. The infographic below displays the results.
by Aby Garvey
I don't know about you, but every January I get the itch to declutter. Do you get this itch, too? Maybe it's the fact that our homes are overstuffed with new things, or maybe it's just a nice way to welcome in the New Year-with a cleaner slate and a bit of breathing room. Regardless of the motivator, decluttering is a terrific way to welcome the year, especially when you declutter with intention and purpose. In other words, when you identify something new that you want to create in the year ahead and let go of something old to support your desire, you create space for change. You also solidify your intention to make it happen.
Ah, the great tradition of making resolutions. If someone else told you to change everything about yourself in a week, you would laugh. But when you make your own list, you end up disappointed when you can't change everything at once. To keep your spirits up, lay out each goal in depth and spend three weeks implementing one goal before moving on to the next one.
"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy of life lies in having no goal to reach." -Benjamin E. Mays
Welcome to 2012! As you start your year off, you may have several different resolutions. Maybe your goal is to lose weight, or you're interested in developing a new hobby. Whatever your resolution, the key to success is being consistent.
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2012! We're excited for a fresh new year, and the natural propensity that comes with it to set some goals and make some changes. There's a reason why January is National Get Organized Month; the turn of the year is the perfect time to make some meaningful progress towards putting things in order. Perhaps like many, you've rededicated yourself to "get organized" this year. That's great, but what does that mean, and where do you start?
UPDATE: Winner Announced! Congratulations to Brigette Bowman Anderson, you were randomly selected to win our Get Organized for 2012 prize bundle! Send an email to email@example.com with your mailing address and we'll get your prizes on their way.
Stay tuned for more GO Giveaways, and good luck to everyone for a strong finish in 2011!
Happy October! We're excited to reveal the newest monthly to-do list, chock full of season-appropriate reminders to help you make the most of the month. Start with our suggested October organizing projects, and then write a few to-dos of your own.
With all the seasons and events that start in September, it's a wonder we don't celebrate New Year's Day this month. Here are just a few of events that traditionally kick off their new year in September:

This is a different take on the live action version of the world famous Grand Theft Auto video game series created by Rockstar Games.
The short film went viral and quickly became #1 popular video around the web and #2 best short film in 2012 on Film Shortage. 13million views and counting.
Grand Theft Auto: RISE is about the birth of an underground hero. He is not the hero that we are used to seeing. He is submerged in his own internal darkness. He is a protagonist.
People will fall, things will break, he will be left standing alone in a tunnel with no light at the end.

Eldorado — Frances Thompson Peters passed away June 24, 2012 in Sanford, North Carolina in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Kay and Neal Heflin.
Frances was born March 7, 1925 in San Angelo, Texas to Luke and Frances Thompson.
She spent almost 84 years of her life in Eldorado. After graduating as salutatorian from Eldorado High School, she worked in various positions in the community, including secretary at the High School, and then spent thirty-three years at the First National Bank, retiring in 1991.
During World War II she met the love of her life, Elmer (Pete) Peters. They married on January 12, 1946 and were married for fifty-seven years. In addition to their daughter, Kay, they also had one son, Ken.
Frances was an active member of the First Methodist Church and served her church as treasurer for many years. Her other community activities included membership in the hospital auxiliary and serving on the Board of Directors for The Way Off Broadway Players.
Frances was preceded in death by her husband, her son, her parents and her brother, Luke (Bubba) Thompson Jr. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, her special daughter-in-law, Lesa Ritter and husband Duane, granddaughter, Whitney Heflin
Moss and husband Marcus; grandsons Scott Heflin, Dustin Peters and wife Crystal, Ross Peters and wife Ginger. She was the very proud great grandmother of Parker and Jackson Moss and Mia Tercero and Breyson Peters. She also leaves behind four nieces and a nephew, as well as a myriad of friends in the home town she loved so dearly.
Frances was a devoted and faithful servant to her God and to her family and friends.
She was happiest when in the role of doing something for others.
Visitation with the family will be at Kerbow Funeral Home on Friday between 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Eldorado at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, followed by a graveside service.
Memorials can be made to First United Methodist Church of Eldorado or charity of your choice.

And then I found Tom and Dave Panzarella and their Old Fashioned Italian Deli (see review, page 52), and sank myself to the belly in their vision of old-time Buffalo and the days when the Italian Heritage festival would run for a dozen blocks down Hertel Avenue and spill over into the alleys and neighborhoods on either side. The Old Fashioned may not have the pastas that Bonanno does, but it has just the right kind of pastas for a neighborhood joint.
Swimclub32 (3628 West 32nd Avenue) is also going Italian, with owner, wine-pusher and part-time white jacket Chris Golub and chef de cuisine Chris Dougherty replacing the menu that had been a tapas mix of modern Japanese and Spanish influences, courtesy of former chef Joel Holland. And while Swimclub will continue with the small-plate format, those plates will now be filled with foods coming out of Veneto, Alto Adige and Tuscany.
What's more, the kitchen (all 300 square feet of it) is going through a makeover, with all of its old-fashioned fire and iron being replaced by ultra-modern induction ranges and a sous vide setup that will allow the tiny galley to play around with some big flavors. Upstairs, the crew has turned the rooftop into an herb garden with cedar planting boxes crammed among the vents and HVAC equipment. Meanwhile, downstairs in his office, Golub is still struggling to get all the product and produce together ahead of the new menu's launch.

"I'm still nailing down a couple more farmers," he told me last week. "Just a couple more suppliers. You know these guys: They say they can get me a delivery every week, then every other week, then they're asking me, 'Hey, do you think you can come and pick it up yourself?' I don't know. I still need tomatoes. I'm trying to find some really bitchin' tomatoes." Right now he's getting heirlooms from some guy on Clarkson Street who tore up his whole front yard to plant a tomato garden, but that won't be enough for what Golub has in mind. He wants "Jersey tomatoes," like he used to get back East. "I called all my guys back in Jersey," he said. "But none of them will ship this far."
When I asked Golub if this wasn't a pretty radical departure for a spot that had made its name with stone-cooked Kobe beef and sashimi, he explained that when he and partner Grant Gingerich came up with the idea for their own restaurant, they initially weren't going to have a chef at all. They wanted it to be like their own kitchen, the kind of place where they could serve whatever they were in the mood to serve to anyone who was in the mood to eat it. But when he met Holland, whose ideas about food matched so well with Golub's ideas for the restaurant's wine and sake lists, he set the chefless kitchen notion aside (at least temporarily). Unfortunately, the arrangement lasted only as long as Holland did (which is to say just a few months), and for the past several months, Golub has been plotting this change.
"We want to be able to change on a whim," Golub explained. "Not according to the month, not according to the season, but according to what we want to be doing. You know, it's like when you have someone over to your house to eat, and sometimes you want to cook Italian, and sometimes you want to, like, steam a halibut with some lemongrass or something. That's what I want to be able to do. Our regulars are really excited about this. They've been waiting for it. So pretty soon, I guess I'll be putting the white coat back on and going into the kitchen."
Yeah, just as soon as someone comes through with those bitchin' tomatoes.
Up in Boulder, the Trattoria Girasole space at 1430 Pearl Street has become Trattoria on Pearl, with owners Sara and Guillermo Casarrubias and a chef who brings some heavy credentials to the party. Daniel Cofrades has worked at Adega (he helped chef Moscatello open) and with Kevin Taylor (he held a chef's post at Taylor's namesake joint), but he's also done time at Michel Rostang (a Michelin three-star in Paris), as well as in Spain,Venezuela, Brazil and Indonesia. His menu is classic Italian, with cracker-crust pizzas and a late-night tapas lineup, but what really caught my eye was the limoncello sorbet topped with homemade, lemon-infused vodka. Alcoholic ice creams (and sorbets) definitely rank as one of mankind's greatest inventions.
More good news: It looks like a chain may finally get it right. Piatti, at 190 St. Paul Street (and the rest of the Piatti locations nationwide), has given itself a physical and philosophical makeover and become Piatti Locali -- a seasonal, market-driven, serious restaurant dedicated to community, locality and connecting with its neighbors through food. In the past, I never found much sense in burning up an evening in Cherry Creek eating bruscetta and zuppa del giorno at Piatti when I could have the same stuff done sometimes better and sometimes worse at a real local restaurant -- not just some place that was pretending to be.

The FLOAT House: New Orleans' low-cost, green solution to flooding
In a world where nearly 200 million people worldwide live in high risk coastal flooding zones, new design solutions are needed for homes that adapt to this reality. The FLOAT House, created by the Morphosis Team in collaboration with the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design, is precisely this kind of design. This residential home in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward can withstand a storm the size of Hurricane Katrina; it sustains its own water and power needs; and it is manufactured cheaply enough to function as low-income housing.

March 2nd Albany Half Marathon is the only one I'm currently certain to run since the big boy (WDW Marathon) was last weekend.
Hi Ducks! Thank you for taking care of our 2013 thread, Carolynn! :donald:
I'm excited to share that I registered for the Dumbo Double Dare yesterday! I'm finally going to Disneyland for the first time! woohoo! I'll fly there that Friday and home Monday. I'm staying at the Best Western Park Place which I've read is a great location, and it was cheap. :thumbsup2 Colleen~ (from old thread...) I am sure you could keep up with me no problem! :) |
I am planning on going to TOT in October and Half in Jan 2014!! Looking at current hotel prices at WDW. What is with $145.00 for Value Resorts for TOT weekend!!! OMG. I'll just have to hope against hope for FL Resident or Military discounts. Geez. Or opt for Shades and book that now. Or wait for my publishers clearning house check! LOL :rotfl2: Colleen |
Hi, I would like to join. My name is Cindy and live in SE Florida. I began running in 2007 in order to get healthy and drop some weight. I started out by walking, then briskly walking to jogging then slow and steady running. I did several 5Ks @ WDW and 1 10K in 2007. I went into retirement due to knee and feet issues and I just gave up. It wasn't until I found the Disboards, started reading all the inspirational stories and getting great advice from the posters, that I wanted to run again. I did the 5K last week and I am doing the PHM next month. I want to do the W&D 1/2 as well. Thanks to all for helping me get back out there!
Hi all! I would very much like to join as the W.I.S.H. board has been such an inspiration to me the past few months. And if it weren't for you I probably would not be on this crazy journey to my C2C medal! My name is Amanda and I live in San Antonio TX. I've been running recreationally since last spring and I am addicted. For 2013 my goal is at least 15 timed races with at least one a month and my calendar is filling up fast! My long term goal is a race in every state.
So far I have registered or am planing on: Jan 20 Cocoa Woman's Half Marathon San Antonio My first half! Jan 26 Biggest Loser 10 Austin TX Feb 10 Be My Valentine 5K San Antonio Feb 24 Princess Half April 28 Nike Woman's Half Washington D.C. June Fighting ALS with Jay San Antonio (If they put this on again this year, we did the 1st annual last year as our finishing C25K race) August 31 Disneyland 10K September 1 Disneyland Half October Sea World Run for the Fund 10K San Antonio I look forward to 2013 and getting to know you all better! |
Good morning, Ducks!
No races scheduled as of yet. Guess I need to get busy. Carolynn - Thanks for stepping up. sunnygal041 - :welcome: sissy_ib - :welcome: :cool2: |
I'm here! Thanks for starting the new thread, Carolynn. And welcome to the new members. :)
Liz -- How cool that you're doing the Dumbo at DL! A couple of weeks ago I was thinking about doing the 10k but I'm going to hold off for now. As of now, I'm planning on doing the 5k and the half next January at WDW. I will sign up for a couple of local races as well but not sure which ones yet. Monday my training begins! |
Welcome Amanda and Cindy! :cool1:
Members page updated. |
Hi everyone!
Tip of the sailors cap to everyone that ran last week at WDW, it was a lot of fun. A special WaaHoo to the Daisy's in the group completing the Goofy Challenge. You are an inspiration! Colleen & Carolynn: it was nice meeting you last weekend. Vic: I'm sorry we didn't run (ha) into each other. I had a great weekend. I finished my first marathon in 6:16 and I stopped 17 times on the course for pictures. I really took in the whole experience. Here is a link to a photo album from the weekend. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=6d02df640d Walking to the corrals with Tanya, Liz & Augie was so easy, I might have to plan a stay at OKW again next year. Liz: that exciting for you signing up for the DL races. I would really like to do it. Carissa & Robyn: YAA! on planning to do the half next year. Looks like we will have to plan another Duck Drop:cool1:. I haven't signed up for any new races yet, but my wish list includes the Martian Half, Dexter Ann Arbor half, Ann Arbor Half (new to me), The Wine & Dine and the WDW half next year. I am still having thoughts of doing the Goofy in 2015 (the year I turn 50), just don't tell Debbie. Debbie was a wreck leading up to me running the marathon last week. She worried about me. I really enjoyed the race, coming into the MK I had a big grin on my face. I new I was going to see Debbie on Main Street, so that was a pick me up and who couldn't get excited about running in the MK? I saw Debbie again outside AK and that was nice. The WISH Scream Team were awesome, the cold wet wash cloths they passed out was very helpful. How are everyone's legs doing after a week? I never had leg pain just some foot pain and it is getting better. I am going for a swim this afternoon and might get back running in a week or so. Renee: Good luck this weekend at the Tinkerbell! have a lot of fun. To the new Ducks, Welcome! You will find the pond very friendly. Well have a good week. Joe |
Carolynn~I would have loved to stay at VGC! Sounds like the studios are already gone though. I'm glad I can at least visit it.
Cindy~Welcome to the Ducks! :donald: That's great that you've gotten back into running! Congrats on the 5K! Amanda~Welcome to the Ducks! :donald: Wow you've got a lot of races, that's awesome! Yay for another Dumbo Double Dare do-er! Carissa~Good luck Monday! Joe~I want to stay at OKW next year again, too. I rented points to get this years reservation before the 7 month window (close to HH) and I think I'll do that again. |
Thanks, I am too! Thank you for the warm welcome, also. 😀 |
Good luck to anyone running Tinkerbell tomorrow! I have my first half tomorrow morning and I am so excited! We went to the packet pickup/expo today. It was really small, only about 6 merchants but Bondi Band was there and I picked up a few and my husband got me a gift. I think I know what it is but I don't think he is giving it to me until our anniversary in two weeks. :upsidedow |

We are in the process of re-doing our laundry room. We moved the washer and dry out, and now that they are unhooked we notice that one of the faucets for the washer is slowly dripping while the other is completely dry. What do you think this means and what do you recommend? Our house is 25 years old and this is the original assembly. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It depends on where the drip is coming from. If from the hose connection and a little more twisting on the valve handle doesn't stop the drip, a new washer, and maybe a valve seat is the fix. If from the valve stem, tightening the 'B' nut around the stem or replacing the packing underneath should work. |
- Posted by maryland_irisman (email@example.com) on Sun, Apr 25, 10 at 14:43
Although there could be several causes, the most common cause is the supply valve most likely needs a new rubber valve seat washer. If you have a few hand tools and are a bit mechanical, you can do this yourself. The part is very inexpensive (about 2 cents each) and can be purchased anywhere, even Walmart. Most times they are sold in packages of various common sizes. I suspect that since this valve is commonly left in the open position to supply the washing machine, over 25 years the rubber has hardened and a small build up of deposits has collected on it. Even if it is just dirty, you'll have to open it up to clean it and it would be best to replace the rubber seat. If you want to go all the way, you may as well also change the "O" ring(s) on the stem itself (another 2 cents). If you do all this while you're in there, the valve will be as good as new when you put it back together. The whole job should take about 10 minutes for a newbie and about 2-5 for a pro. To have a pro come and do it could cost between $75.00-$125 depending on your area and who you call. When you buy the kit for about $1-$2, it'll also have some screws in it. When you replace the rubber seal, you should go ahead and use a new screw when reassembling. Be sure to replace the hoses on the washing machine with good quality hoses while you are at it. Burst washing machine hoses are one of the number one causes of home flooding and Murphy's Law says it will be while you are away on vacation. Another option...if you are not in the habit of opening and closing these valves, put a bucket under the drip or, buy a plastic cap that screws over and seals the spigot and finish the remodel. When you hook back up, the whole thing is a non-issue. Personally, I close those valves off when I am gone for more than a day. Even good hoses, and internal washing machine valves have the potential to spring a leak. |

Sorry Randy, didn't mean to jump in on you, we must have been posting at the same time. EMS- |
Thanks for your replies. For now we are going with a bucket to catch the drip and working on the floor and walls like we planned and will try to deal with it then. Your good advice is very appreciated! |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Sun, Apr 25, 10 at 17:24
Keep in mind that this leak won't heal itself and will only become a bigger problem down the road. With everything moved out of the way NOW is the time to fix the leak. |

About Nathaniel Brown Dodge

> New Charges for Checked Baggage
Date Published: February 8, 2008
Cruise News
New Charges for Checked Baggage
When I travel, I typically take one carry-on and -- depending on my destination -- one checked bag. My carry-on contains my laptop, camera, usually my toiletries and whatever shoes didn't fit into the suitcase I've checked, plus some books, magazines, and (hopefully) a little space for the tchotchkes I plan on purchasing while away.
That's pretty easy to do when going on a seven-night
Caribbean cruise
; one checked bag is usually quite sufficient. Warm-weather clothing takes up much less room than bulky sweaters for cool-weather travel. But when I sailed from Buenos Aires to Santiago, I packed for any contingency, and I am glad I did. It was really hot in B.A., really cold in Port Stanley and on deck while going around Cape Horn, really rainy in Ushuaia, and really windy in Punta Arenas. Santiago was hot, just like Buenos Aires was. I had to pack for 17 days, and the cruise left in January, meaning that it was cold upon our return to the U.S. Two checked bags? You bet.
Now there's a new wrinkle in bag checking. As if new security measures, passport requirements and fuel surcharges weren't enough to baffle cruisers these days,
United Airlines
has just announced a policy to charge most coach-class passengers a fee of $25 for checking a second bag. We're certain that if it works for them, the other major airlines will soon follow.
If you are a gold- or platinum-level frequent flyer with United or any of its Star Alliance partners, you won't have to pay the fee, but if you are just a regular traveler, even a member of Mileage Plus who hasn't reached gold status, you'll have to pony up the $25 extra charge to check a second bag. Remember, too, that a few years ago, all of the domestic U.S. airlines reduced the allowable weight from 70 to 50 pounds per checked bag. Going over the 50-pound limit can also cost you dearly; on a graduated scale starting at 51 pounds, a surly check-in agent can charge you from an additional $50 to $200 U.S.
European carriers are even more penurious with luggage weight issues. British Airways, Air France and Vueling, for example, allow you to check 20 kilos, or about 44 pounds, before the overage fees kick in.
The best thing you can do is carefully check your airline's policy before you pack, make sure to pack accordingly, and be prepared to pay on the spot if you go over the weight or allowable bag limit. So far the other major U.S. airlines (Delta, Northwest, American, USAirways and Continental) are holding firm at two checked bags allowed with no surcharge.
We'll keep you posted if that changes (and we are just cynical enough to think
that changes....).

Understanding the evolution of mating systems, a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than 50 years, requires examining the genetic consequences of mating and the relationships between social systems and mating systems. Among pair-living mammals, where genetic monogamy is extremely rare, the extent of extra-group paternity rates has been associated with male participation in infant care, strength of the pair bond and length of the breeding season. This study evaluated the relationship between two of those factors and the genetic mating system of socially monogamous mammals, testing predictions that male care and strength of pair bond would be negatively correlated with rates of extra-pair paternity (EPP). Autosomal microsatellite analyses provide evidence for genetic monogamy in a pair-living primate with bi-parental care, the Azara's owl monkey (Aotus azarae). A phylogenetically corrected generalized least square analysis was used to relate male care and strength of the pair bond to their genetic mating system (i.e. proportions of EPP) in 15 socially monogamous mammalian species. The intensity of male care was correlated with EPP rates in mammals, while strength of pair bond failed to reach statistical significance. Our analyses show that, once social monogamy has evolved, paternal care, and potentially also close bonds, may facilitate the evolution of genetic monogamy.

The Other Blues Song – Feels So Good – Blues In C
Leonard Cohen first performed this song in concert at the October 29, 2009 Rosemont Theatre (Chicago) concert. I was lucky enough to hear it twice that day, once at the concert itself and, a few hours earlier, at the soundcheck.
The soundcheck was already underway by the time we had been credentialed and had wended our way through the backstage labyrinth to the auditorium. Shortly after we had settled into our seats, Leonard Cohen1 brought the song they were playing to an end, saying
Let's try the other blues song.
Following which, I heard – for the first time – the song beginning, "Feels so good, … ."
I heard it again, from better seats but in a less exclusive environment, during the concert that evening.2
Writing my first Rosemont Concert post, it occurred to me to refer to it as Cohen did during soundcheck, which is how the title for the first post to mention the piece became Leonard Cohen Premieres "The Other Blues Song" At October 29, 2009 Chicago Concert.3
Eventually, of course, the song came to be known as "Feels So Good" for lots of reasons. I came around when it began appearing on the stage setlists as "Feels So Good."
Then, during the 2012 Tour, something odd happened. Those stage setlists referred to the song previously known as "Feels So Good" as "Blues In C."
By any name, however, it's a great song.

- The depth of my respect for Leonard Cohen is evidenced by the fact that when I recognized the song during that night's performance from the first bars played, I did not arise in my seat, turn to the audience, and announce "You have never heard this song before – but I have." [↩]

In light of the alleged terrorist plot by suspected Qaeda operative Najibullah Zazi to detonate explosives around the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Peter King (R-Long Island) and Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-Brooklyn) have announced that they will fight to get funding restored to a federal program designed to prevent even worse attacks.
The Securing the Cities initiative creates a multilayered ring of sensors throughout the tri-state area, placing them at highways, toll plazas, bridges, tunnels and waterways in order to detect radioactive and nuclear material before it can enter the city.
"The recent New York terrorist arrests and alleged plot are a clear indication that the U.S. must bolster its efforts to fully fund this program," said Clarke. "It would truly be a setback for the frontlines of homeland security if we were to lose the very valuable expertise and security system that has been established by this grant."
Seventy-three million dollars in taxpayer money has already gone into the program which is designed to ensure that law enforcement has the resources to prevent a terrorist attack and protects the city's bridges and tunnels from being targeted, but Schumer and others believe more funding is needed to sustain and enhance the program.
"Very simply, the New York City region is the number one terrorist target." said King. "To shortchange funding for this critical program which will help protect this area from a terrorist attack carried out by a radiological or nuclear weapon is the height of irresponsibility."
King and Clarke have secured $40 million for the program and Schumer was able to secure $10 million in the Senate, but the funding may be reduced when the two bills are combined this month.
STC is the nation's only program designed to prevent a nuclear or radiological attack against New York City, and the revenue could be used to purchase more sensors, link equipment and conduct training excercises.
Detection devices have already been placed at major entry points leading into the city and have also been given to other law enforcement agencies in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The program, which is a collaboration between various goverment agencies, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office and regional and state partners including the NYPD, was originally proposed by the Department of Homeland Security in 2006.
It was was designed to be a pilot program created for New York with funding dropping off at the end of the 2009 fiscal year, however remaining funding from the last three budget years is still being allocated. The DHS is in the process of evaluating how to expand the program to other cities and stresses that regional stakeholders can continue to fund it through a myriad of DHS grants, like the Homeland Security Grant program.
The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office will continue to support the STC initiative with "experienced program management and subject matter experts in preventative radiological and nuclear detection," said DHS spokeswoman Amy Kudwa.
Schumer belives that if the program is allowed to reach its full potential it could serve as a model for other cities across the country to create similar initiatives.
"Following 9-11, the federal government correctly put resources into this program and the NYPD is leading the way in implementing this high tech system, but we need federal funding to provide sufficient resources to finish the job," the senator said.

Shot boy may not walk again
Docs fear brave Sean, 6, is paralysed
THIS is the innocent child who could be left paralysed after he was shot in the neck as he played with his pals.
Ireland's bloody gun culture sunk to a new low after thugs opened fire on the group of children at a confirmation party.
Sean Scully, six, was blasted in the neck as he played outside a house in Ballyfermot, Dublin, at 10.15pm on Friday night.
The lad miraculously survived after a .22 calibre bullet passed straight through his neck. But medics believe Sean might remain paralysed. A senior source said the likelihood of a full recovery was "almost nil".
A second source also told the Irish Sun how Sean's innocent dad Karl stood wailing over his boy's stricken body as paramedics battled to save him.
They said: "It was like a nightmare. I couldn't believe my eyes. I heard what I thought was a banger and as soon as I opened the door a wall of screams from all the little kids just hit me.
"I ran over and he was lying on the ground. There was blood everywhere. It was like a picture of hell itself.
"I had a T-shirt I was able to take off quickly to give them to try and stop the blood.
"His poor dad was in a terrible state, he was inconsolable. He kept pacing up and down, not able to look at him.
"His big brother was there too, he was in a complete state of shock. He wasn't able to speak afterwards.
"All the kids were out the front playing. It was still bright outside so I don't understand how anybody could fire a gun when you could clearly see children around."
The sickening incident happened on the edge of a green area just 20 yards from the front door of Sean's innocent family.
The little boy was playing with his friends when a two-man hit team arrived on bicycles.
At least one shot was fired from a handgun before the would-be assassins fled.
Little Sean was struck in the neck and collapsed in a pool of blood. Family members carried him to the pavement and frantically tried to stem the bleeding.
Gardai and paramedics, aided by the Dublin Fire Brigade, arrived at the scene within minutes.
Sean remained conscious while medics worked on him but the ambulance was forced to pull over en-route to Our Lady's Children's Hospital as his condition destabilised.
Doctors in Crumlin brought his condition under control and last night it was reported the child was talking to his traumatised parents Karl and Gillian.
Karl yesterday declined to talk about the incident but said the family were trying to cope.
Teams of gardai, assisted by Technical Bureau forensics officers, combed the area yesterday as the hunt for the gunmen continued.
Superintendent Paul Moran said detectives are following a definite line of enquiry.
He said: "Any crime involving firearms is very, very serious. But it's even more serious when it involves a child.
"We have extensive resources here in Ballyfermot involved in this incident and we are also utilising the services of the Technical Bureau from Garda Headquarters.
"Anybody who may have seen anything that they think relates to this incident, we would be very grateful for their assistance."
Supt Moran confirmed investigators have a chief suspect.
He added: "We are looking at a suspect or suspects but we are in the early stages of the investigation.
"This is an extremely rare incident and we are treating it extremely seriously and we have committed many, many resources to this investigation."
Supt Moran also revealed Gardai do not believe the incident is linked to organised crime.
He said: "There is no link between this and organised crime. And we appeal again for the person or persons involved in this incident to come forward."
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald condemned the shooting — which took place in her constituency — as "barbaric".
She said: "I share the shock of the community at the appalling shooting of a child. The thoughts and prayers of everyone will be for the recovery of the child.
"Acting Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan has assured me that the Gardai are making significant progress with their inquiries and that they are determined to bring to justice those involved in perpetrating this dreadful incident.
"I would appeal to anyone who has information to pass this on immediately.
"This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of a gun culture."
Parish priest Fr Gerry O'Connor said Sean's entire family were "speechless" with shock.
He added: "I am struggling to put words on what's happening. You can't prepare for moments like this.
"If you look at the whole of Dublin, you can see a readiness to use violence and guns.
"I think this is coming from a general disregard for human life where violence is almost seen as acceptable."
Innocents shot dead by thugs
INNOCENT Donna Cleary was shot dead in 2006 by a man who indiscriminately opened fire on a house after being refused entry to a party.
The 22-year-old mum was struck in the chest when the killer fired five shots in Coolock, Dublin. Suspect Dwayne Foster died in custody.
Young apprentice plumber Anthony Campbell, 20, was working at a Finglas house when gunmen burst in and blasted gang boss Marlo Hyland, 39, to death eight years ago.
When they realised Anthony was in the house, they ruthlessly killed him too.
And rugby player Shane Geoghegan, 28, was shot five times in a case of mistaken identity near his home in Dooradoyle, Limerick, at around 1am on November 9, 2008.

When umpiring goes wrong in baseball, it's hard to accept. When it goes really wrong, when power is abused, helmets thrown and expensive beer senselessly wasted, the fans demand robots. But robots will not make you feel better.
They might make the right calls. It won't matter. Not when the right call goes against you.
Two new studies out of The Human Interaction With Nature and Technological Systems (HINTS) Lab in Seattle show that humans view robots as moral entities. The resulting paper is entitled Do People Hold a Humanoid Robot Morally Accountable for the Harm It Causes.
Yes. They do.
Now, granted, this is a humanoid robot and it's doing purposeful wrong. But the study assesses the reaction to harm caused and umpires, by the very nature of their existence, cause harm.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner Personality and Behavior published in the International Journal of Social Robotics,Volume 3, notes that:
People tend to behave towards artifacts in a social way, particularly if artifacts exhibit some degree of autonomy such as robot vacuum cleaners. Aspects of anthropomorphism—the attribution of human qualities to non-humans—are reported in studies on the experience of robot vacuum cleaners.
To get away from the actual research for a moment, just think on your own experiences.
When your computer does not react as you wish, do you react logically? Or do you call it names and think about smashing it? Though the machine is rational, are you? You ever hear your dad working on a car? Did he sound calm? Or was his language making the neighbours blush?
In a high stress situation, like a Major League Baseball game, this will only get worse. Fans and players will not only treat the robot umpire as human but will assign it morality and motivation.
Just ask Curt Schilling, who in 2003 smashed a QuesTec camera installed to provide mechanical oversight to umpires. He said:
The QuesTec system in this ballpark is a joke. The umpires have admitted it. They hate it. In the last three starts I've made here, multiple times umpires have said to the catcher, "It's a pitch I want to call a strike but the machine won't let me."
Robots might make the right calls but that won't stop arguments and you won't feel any better about these calls. You may have less empathy towards a robot even while you assign it morality. This translates into smashing and ballparks littered with the robot dead.
Machines are not the answer.
Baseball should have better oversight of its umpires. While they shouldn't answer to reporters –as facing the partisan New York and Boston media will only exert more pressure on their objectivity– baseball should have a visible disciplinary and public review process. It should hold the umpires to a higher standard of behaviour.
But make no mistake, robots will answer to no one. And they won't make you feel any better.

Warts are essentially a type of viral infection that affects the skin. Warts can occur everywhere in the human body, including the face. Among the facial warts, eye warts have been found to be very common. All warts are caused by the HPV or the Human Papillomavirus. Actually, HPV doesn't refer to a single virus but more than 100 kinds of viruses that have been grouped together because of certain diagnostic similarities.
Warts have been classified into various categories. However, there are no uniform classifications for warts. While many physicians prefer to divide all types of warts into simple categories like flat and raised warts (appearance-defined categorization), some healthcare providers are inclined to define them as plantar or genital warts. Here, the classification is based on the location of the warts and not their appearance. Eye warts can be disconcerting apart from the appearance factor if they are located close to certain sections of the eye. People who have an eye wart close to the eyelids may find it very difficult to blink. If eye warts were to be classified, they belong to the category of flat, facial warts. Flat warts refer to warts that don't have the typical brush-like appearance that is found some of the other facial warts. Such warts have a smoother appearance. Most of the eye warts belong to this category. Strangely, even after so many breakthroughs in the field of medicines, there are no comprehensive cures for treating warts. Most people either agree to live with warts or get them surgically removed. Some of the warts are also transmitted through sexual intercourse and are referred to as STD warts. However, eye warts are largely believed to be non-communicable. Some of the warts have an overtly-infectious tendency wherein touching such warts and then touching an un-affected part of the body can cause a spurt in the spread of warts. However, some warts tend to remain docile and even after surgical removal, chances of such warts re-appearing are minimal. However, the infectious kind of warts tend to remain dormant for a long time in the body and may resurface, repeatedly even after surgical intervention. Some Common Wart-removal Remedies The most common surgical approaches used for removing warts involve the use of laser or electric current. Laser-based surgeries are becoming increasingly common and have been endorsed by many celebrities too, making them universally popular as a safe and effective way of getting rid of warts. On the other hand, electro-cauterization or wart removal by using electric current isn't very common. Please understand that there is very little information about a complete curative process that has been effective for removing an eye wart. However, some home remedies or alternative treatments have become a bit popular since many people have opined that such treatments have at least helped to control the growth or spread of warts. It is commonly believed that if surgery doesn't have to be pursued, the wart should be destroyed or dried-up through an alternate approach. |

How do they work ? Do they need an air supply ? - A compressor - or a tank of Oxygen ? 220 volt ? What kind of bench can you cut on ?? Questions - questions ! Now that I learned "first grade" welding ... I'm seeing all the cool "toys" that you can buy for metalworking. I've watched videos of people cutting out stuff with plasma cutters ... but of course - it doesn't give the technical details. I have a long way to go before I can do this - but I'd love to find out the details. If you've done it --- I'd LOVE to find out the pro's and cons ...... Thank you !!! ~ Kathy |
Follow-Up Postings:
They work by establishing arc plasma between the nozzle and the work. The plasma is conductive. Yes, compressed air is now the common driver.Inert gases were used initially and still are on sensitive material. 220VAC hookups are standard foo home shops. The swarf doesn't have the thermal "memory" like oxy torch, plywood could suffice as a bench. There will be charring. The "pierce" rating of the machine is a good indicator of capability. If the intention is cutting non-ferrous greater capacity is required vs. steel only. |

Oh -- there IS air involved. I wasn't sure. Sounds like that will be something to use in the far far future. My hubby isn't too happy that I'm taking over his garage with my "new hobby" ~~ LOL |
The compressed air requirement is modest for the type machine you would likely get. Any basically equipped garage compressor probably fills the bill. Hubby might find the cutter VERY handy. |

Where is it at? Could I come as well?
It's official!!!! iwannbeminnie and I are gettng together for a full weekend scrap-a-thon!!! A group of us have gotten together and rented the same hotel that I had my Creative Memories weekend scrap in back in January. It's going to be the last weekend of this month and fortunately T-Nina will be able to break free from the treacherous tax season and have some fun filled, sleepless nights of scrapping with me!!!! LUCKY GIRL! Can't wait T! 27 more days!!!
Where is it at? Could I come as well?

You know Katy, I was thinking of you and was going to mention it, but my friend Stephanie is kind of setting it all up. The room we have only fits 20 and there is already a waiting list with 3 people on it. I can have them add your name. Also....T-Nina has been on the list since we first started talking about this and I'm certain we are going to do it again. So...I will be sure that I can keep T-Nina's spot for future ones and if she cannot make it or doesn't want to make the drive I could pass it onto you.
We are getting a GREAT deal. They are renting us the room for $200 for the entire weekend which is only $10 per person! Then the hotel suite per night is like $89 and we are splitting that cost between 6 of us (since basically all I need the room for is the shower I'm fine with that!) so it's going to be a very cost effective scrapbooking weekend!!!
BTW...it's in Sterling Heights.
Oh Ok, that's fine. Just let me know if anyone can't make it. I am not even sure if I can yet anyways. Sounds like fun!!!

I WISH I COULD COME..... my entire dining room is filled with scrapbooking stuff. Do you ever do one of these near NJ???
If it were Lori I would be driving three hours in the OTHER direction!
They call me "Nana"
Wow- this could be a very interesting weekend. I might have to keep my phone one...just in case someone needs help!
I am SOOOOOO looking forward to the Scrap-a-Thon! I need to get about 50 million pages done. And I want to rummage through all of Melissa's things to see if she has anything I want. Plus I will get to interview all of her friends and maybe I can figure out why she is the way she is. Plus her one friend has a Cricut and I intend to hog it most of the weekend (fair warning).
On the downside, I've never spent one single night away form Mr. iwbm in all the years we've been married. How will he survive?

College Endowments Hit the Skids
Posted by: Louis Lavelle on January 26, 2009
By Brian Burnsed
The Commonfund Benchmarks Study, which examines the state of school endowments on an annual basis, was released today. While the study's findings are likely a shock to no one, they undoubtedly further illustrate the far reaching effects of the economic downturn. As BusinessWeek reported last week, community colleges are being hit particularly hard by the slumping economy, but the Commonfund Study goes even further, showing that endowments at a myriad of schools are evaporating as well.
While the study, which collects data from 628 educational institutions across the country, found that only minimal losses were sustained for fiscal year 2008, the real problem lies ahead. FY 2008 saw a 2.7 percent drop; hardly a jaw-dropping loss. However, a follow up study used to gauge FY 2009's progress stumbled upon significantly more alarming figures. Endowments at these schools have tumbled an astounding estimated 22.5 percent in the first half of FY 2009, and there is no indication that this trend will come to a halt in the near future.
"While fiscal 2008 was difficult for educational endowments, the negative 2.7 percent return was manageable. It was in the period after the close of the fiscal year on June 30 that very serious erosion of endowment values took place," John S. Griswold, Executive Director of Commonfund Institute, says in the report.
Like 401(k)s, endowments too have been burdened by the crumbling markets. The biggest problem that is leading to the erosion of endowments is their reliance upon domestic and foreign equities, which have been hit hard as markets worldwide have struggled. FY 2008 saw a 10.2 percent drop in returns from domestic equities and a 7.6 percent slide in returns from foreign equities.
School administrators will have to carefully plan their investment strategies as the markets continue to tread upon shaky ground, however the study notes that the average number of full time staff that schools employ to handle investments is on the decline. Sixty-six percent of schools have hired outside consultants to handle investments in an effort to cut costs.
Poor returns on investments weren't the only factors that contributed to a weak FY 2008. Thirty-three percent of schools polled in the study reported a decline in gifts and donations, a figure which is likely to grow rapidly in 2009 as individual donors start to reign in their expenditures as they watch their 401(k)s and bank accounts dwindle. When money is tight on the home front, donations are among the first expenditures to go by the wayside, an unfortunate symptom of a recession that higher education must deal with.
These problems aren't likely to vanish in the coming months, or even years, so many colleges will be forced to create new investment strategies and cut spending. Administrators are well aware that difficult decisions will have to be made.
"The handwriting's on the wall, it's going to be a very difficult period," says Mike Kettner, Dean of the School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Makes 4 to 6 servings
- 2 2-inch-thick grass-fed boneless rib-eye steaks (about 3 pounds total)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms* (half of 1/2-ounce package)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Place steaks and soy sauce in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag, releasing excess air; turn to coat. Let steaks marinate at room temperature 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Process porcini mushrooms in spice mill to fine powder. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons mushroom powder, rosemary, and pepper in small bowl (reserve any remaining powder for another use).
Drain steaks; pat dry. Sprinkle mushroom-rosemary rub generously over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere.
Heat oil in heavy large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Fry steaks until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for rare, adjusting heat to medium if browning too quickly.
Transfer steaks to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.
*Available in the produce section of many supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

A's Sign OF Brandon Moss
The Oakland A's have signed outfielder Brandon Moss to a minor-league contract today reports Matt Eddy of Baseball America. The 28-year-old outfielder appeared in five games for the Phillies last year, going hitless in six plate appearances while striking out twice. The once-prospect originally drafted by Boston was part of the 2008 trade that sent Manny Ramirez to Los Angeles and Jason Bay to Boston along with former Oakland Athletic Andy LaRoche (who went from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh in that trade). In 749 career plate appearances spread across parts of five seasons, Moss has a career slash line of .236/.300/.382 with a .294 wOBA being worth a total of 0.3 WAR.
I suspect that Moss will be Triple-A filler and just add to organizational depth, but last year for the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs he hit a strong .275/.368/.509 with a .380 wOBA and 23 home runs in 124 games. I don't expect him to put it all together and contribute to the 2012 Oakland A's cause despite the extreme lack of depth in the outfield. Moss, a plus defender, can play both corner outfield positions.

Clayton State's Emily Poole receives Fayette Chamber's Young Professional Award
Clayton State University student Emily Poole (Fayetteville) recently received the Fayette Chamber of Commerce's Young Professional of the Year Award at the Fayette Chamber of Commerce's Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon. Poole works at Allan Vigil Ford of Fayetteville in fleet sales, where she is primarily responsible for sales to commercial and municipal clients. She also occasionally conducts individual retail sales.
"I handle our company's interactions with the Fayette Chamber of Commerce, and I am involved with two professional organizations in the community; Southside Professionals BNI (BNI=Business Networking International) and YP Fayette (YP=Young Professionals)," Poole says. "I am in leadership roles in both of these organizations."
Poole graduated in 2004 from McIntosh High School in Peachtree City.
"I've been with Allan Vigil Ford of Fayetteville since 2005, and I previously worked at another car dealership before I worked for Mr. Vigil. I went back to school at Clayton State University in 2008," she said.
Poole recently started working with her mentor, Greg Detwiler, on establishing some goals, both short- and long- term, for her career. Detwiler works for Southern Company as a smart grid investment grant project manager.
"Mr. Detwiler has really helped me define what my goals are, and how to go about achieving them," Poole said. "In addition, I'm regularly tapping into the wealth of knowledge he has regarding leadership. At Allan Vigil Ford of Fayetteville, as in my positions with other organizations, my vision is to powerfully and positively impact the organizations and the community. Mr. Detwiler is helping me develop my abilities to effectively carry out this mission and to assist others in every way possible."
Outside of school and work, Poole enjoys going to the gym and reading.
"The one thing I don't compromise is my gym time and my fitness/health interests," Poole said. "As cheesy as that sounds, that's how I keep going. I have to take care of myself. Plus, working out makes me feel better. I can feel pretty bad, or tired, or exhausted, and feel so much better when I leave the gym."
Poole is currently pursuing a B.S. in Integrative Studies, with a concentration in Psychology. After she graduates she would like to attend law school in an evening program, so she can still work at Allan Vigil Ford of Fayetteville during the day.
