To long of a wait!!!! by Nobel Search - 10/04/2013
The weight time is to long. Example: If you get their at 9am with an appointment. You will not make be ALL DAY!!!!!!
They have it all by monicab - 01/11/2012
I just went to Bond for the first time in a long time yesterday. The company is totally different from how it was when it was on orange. Now that they have moved to South Gadsden street the change of environment has really made a difference. Its a huge facility with a million services. Bond has family practice medicine, radiology/X-ray, HIV/AIDS specialty care, a Pharmcay, a dentistry and more. I cant beleive the company turn out to be this great considering how they were before.
ex patient by phernandez19 - 08/18/2011
If I coiuld rate a place negative 3 I would! This place lacks professionalism and the staff lacks good old common sense. I had a appt. around a holiday that I scheduled three months prior and they told me the day of my appt that the doctor went out of town. THEN for the day the rescheduled I never got a confirmation call and when i called they said my appt was rescheduled again and they cant tell me the date because the scheduler was on vacation. Some of the doctors are not so bad but the staff makes the whole place unbearable. I would never recommend anyone whi has other means to a physician to come here.

2 Chainz Is A Good Instagram Dad
So 2 Chainz is a rapper who changed his name from Tity Boi to be more family-friendly. Which is funny, and also not all that weird, when you think about both how much he wants to sell records and how much he loves his two daughters, Heaven and Harmony. If Instagram counted in real life, the Atlanta emcee would be Rap… »

Must be an epidemic here
In October my next door neighbor fell off a bottom step of a ladder and landed on her lawn and broke her hip.
A couple of weeks later, I turned my ankle and broke a bone in my foot. Had to have surgery to get a plate put in my foot.
Today a friend fell off a ladder while she was stripping wall paper in her kitchen. Broke 2 bones in her left foot and one in her right wrist. She lives alone and had planned to go out of state next week to help her sister who is having surgery.
Linda, I hope your recovery is going well. I'm afraid that my 81 yr old dad is going to fall. He has a mobility problem with his foot (it drags) & is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. He's very stubborn & insists that he gets around fine. We've all tried to talk to him, to no avail. I fear that it will take him breaking something to get him to listen.
I do worry about falling because of my job. Actually, I have fallen more than once... all the way down... but I worry about falling where I am not able to get back up. LOL
Mostly I worry about my mom falling again. She fell in the grocery store parking lot 3 years ago and has had knee problems since. Initially she went to the Dr. and had some fluid drawn off but now she won't go back and is in constant pain. There's no talking to her, though.
linda - I hope your foot is better now.
I worry about falling too since I have osteopenia. I have never had a broken bone, but I'm very small boned so it seems like I could snap a wrist or ankle. I walk very fast at the gym and on the treadmill but around the house, very slowly. I have six pets anyone of which could be under my feet. I also have two very steep staircases, front and back. People must have had smaller feet back in 1830 cause the treads are smaller than today's .
Linda, I'm sorry about your foot, and hope it is OK now. Sadly, your epidemic spread here. Two weeks ago, I stepped on a log that was covered by leaves, and turned my ankle. My ankle is sore, but my foot really hurts. I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to find out if there are any broken bones. (The "waiting for the pain to go away" plan hasn't worked.)
Wanda, one time I twisted my ankle badly. It hurt so much I saw stars, but I figured it was a bad sprain. I waited two weeks for the pain to go away. When it didn't, I finally went to the doctor only to find out I'd been hobbling around on a broken ankle.
I worry about falling, too, as I find my balance becoming poorer. There have been times when the wall or a door has saved me. I can't have the room dark as I have no sense of balance then.
Glenda, do you have a rail on your tub? I have a screw on one that is very handy. I shower as it was a few years back I was sitting in the tub one day and all of a sudden couldn't get myself up until I got on my knees.
I have electric candles burning in every window of my house which greatly helps in the night time when I don't need to turn on lights to see. Maybe some of you might think of night lights or candles. I used to walk around my yard at night to check the ponds, but stopped doing it because I thought I could trip and fall in the pond or fall and break a leg and no one would know till morning. That happened to one of my friends walking her dog at 1AM in her yard. Her huge Mastiff knocked her over and she had a severe head injury lying in her yard till morning.
I fell in the tub and bruised my hip very badly.
I really frightened my DH so he ordered and installed one of those walk in tub. They are really great but very expensive.
My Dr. said that after age 60 you should not climb any ladder and be careful when climbing and going down stairs.
Gosh, this thread sounds like testimonials for those alarms you wear around your neck to summon help! Not a bad idea, but I wonder how much it costs to have one.
My jet-tub has handles inside, just below the rim of the tub. I use them to help hoist myself up; my leg muscles are not strong. I also reach in and grab the farther handle when entering the tub.
Linda, I had one of those boots when I was in middle school and again in college(three sprained ankle in my life). I had to wear a 1 inch heel on the other foot so I was not lopsided. The most recent sprain (2009), I did not get a boot but had to use crutches for two weeks. Six months later, I was down with a herniated disc at L3-L4 (higher than "normal" herniations). I am convinced it was from the lopsidedness of being on crutches for two weeks. You be careful!

Peter Jackson Unveils Final 'Hobbit' Behind-the-Scenes Blog (Video)
With the prequel slated for completion just two days before its New Zealand premiere, the director said "everyone's working around the clock to get the film finished."
Sleep deprivation, recording at Abbey Road Studios and creating motion capture beards are among the topics in Peter Jackson's final behind-the-scenes video blog for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Embedded at Park Road Post Production in Wellington, New Zealand, the director says the first of his Lord of the Rings prequels is due to be completed just two days before its Nov. 28 premiere in his home country ("hopefully," he adds with a nervous laugh).
"Everyone's working around the clock to get the film finished," Jackson says.
PHOTOS: The Hard Road to 'The Hobbit'
The director takes viewers through editing and special effects at the studio, as well as the scoring of the film at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. In addition to the hard work, there seems to be plenty of perks working at Park Road Post, which provides laundry service, massages and three meals a day for its resident Middle-earth aficionados.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hits theaters on Dec. 14 in 3D & 48FPS. Watch the video below.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Samaje Perine scored three touchdowns, and Cody Thomas threw for one score and ran for another to lead Oklahoma over Texas Tech 42-30 on Saturday.
The win kept OU coach Bob Stoops from consecutive losses for the first time since 1999.
Perine scored touchdowns from 2, 64 and 11 yards. It was the true freshman's second 200-yard performance. He finished with 213 yards on 25 carries.
Micah Awe pointed to his heart.
"I think most of our losses or whatever, it doesn't come from Xs and Os, or talent," the Texas Tech linebacker said, pointing first to his head. "It is all up here and it's down here. We've just got to work on that, and it's an ongoing process.
"We're going to have a long off-season, but we are still in season right now so we are going to move on to Oklahoma and do our best."
And although Awe wants to keep fighting, he eluded to what seems inevitable — Texas Tech won't be playing in a bowl game this season.
How the Texas Tech Commits fared
New Tech commit Carlos Strickland caught just one pass, but it was a 33-yard touchdown to help Skyline to a win. Here's how the rest of Tech's 2015 commits fared.
OT Madison Akamnonu, Arlington Bowie
Helped team gain 720 yards in 70-3 win against Forth Worth Paschal
RB Corey Dauphine, Port Arthur Memorial
Rushed 20 times for 49 yards and no touchdowns in team's 29-14 loss to Beaumont West Brook
OT Conner Dyer, Mesquite Horn
After one quarter, the Texas Longhorns had 26 yards in total offense.
"Offensively, it's going to take us awhile to get going. It's going to take us two, three drives to really get going," said first-year Texas coach Charlie Strong after the Longhorns beat Texas Tech 34-13 Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium.
In the early part of the 2001-2002 basketball season, Plenette Pierson wasn't thinking about her legacy at Texas Tech. She was thinking about whether she wanted to finish her Texas Tech basketball career at all.
A star player who was suspended for most of her junior year, Pierson sandwiched a pair second- and third-team all-America seasons around that one and wound up one of the leading scorers in Lady Raiders history. The center from Kingwood was inducted Friday night into the Texas Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.

african violet
hi there, I have av, not knowing what to do with it,I have had it about a month and it's not doing anything,I have it sitting in my window,but I guess sunlight is too strong for it,I don't know to care for it,when to clip or to water it,how to get it to bloom etc,it's winter here in maine I do not know if that's a problem or not, I also have another plant I don't know what it is,it looks ok,but I think its some type of creeping vine plant, its looks ok,it just doesnt seem to be growing rapidly as I would expect,will post a picture of both, I also have a aloe,that a friend planted in dirt from outside ,wich I think was a big mistake,so I replanted it in some potting soil,hoping I didnt kill the poor thing..help i'm not a green thumb!
They do slow down growth in winter, especially if your home is cooler. If it is in the window, I would think it is getting too cool in your area, especially at night. Direct sun can burn the leaves if it is too strong, should have a sheer curtain between the window and the plant. Mine are in the windows but I'm in Atlanta and its warmer here. Don't keep it too wet, they will rot, water when it starts to dry out. Fertilize occassionally. Only take off the leaves that don't look good, are getting old, discolored, droopy usually on the bottom of the plant. Checking out more info at avsa.org is a good idea.
Hi, I'm just visiting from the Houseplant & Cactus & Succulent Forum.
About the Aloe, potting soil is almost the worst thing you could use for it (it usually has peat in it, which hardens off over time, making it impossible for the plant to drink) . Pls. find Cactus & Succulent mix & add abt 40% perlite to it & pls. be sure the pot has a hole in it. Otherwise, you may expect problems. Then don't water it for a week or 2, or until you see new growth.

Our next Artist Reception for the Lake Quivira Rotating Art Program is Wednesday, January 21. We will have an interesting opportunity to meet a pair of talented artists that happen to be a married couple. Each brings a unique approach to their artistic expression, which they will be happy to share with our group at the reception. Complimentary wine and cheese will be served from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Ruthie Osa has been designing poster art for the past nineteen years with clients in public school systems, national parks, national not-for-profit organizations, regional chambers of commerce and private businesses.
As an illustrator and designer, she has addressed the needs of a nationwide group of clients including Anheuser-Busch, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museums & Aquariums, the National Park System and the tourist industry.
Her design versatility has a wide range, but she will be narrowing her focus to the posters she has designed for various resorts and special places. Many of them are some of our favorite spots. It is interesting to see how she captures the iconic images that we love about these unique locations.
As Ruthie describes it, "My poster art stems from an interest I have in the WPA travel posters created in the late 1920s. I love the simplicity of capturing the spirit of a location in shapes of color. After drawing the image in pencil, I scan the sketch and redraw it in Illustrator as vector art. This allows me to play with the color and then have it reproduced to any size with perfect clarity. The rich saturation of color is accomplished by printing with archival ink on archival paper."
Doug Osa is a Kansas native and lifelong resident of Kansas City. He received a BS in biology and a BFA in painting from Kansas State University, an MFA in drawing and painting from the University of Kansas and studied figure drawing and painting at the Art Students League in New York City. He has taught drawing and painting at the college level and currently conducts painting workshops. Since he committed to painting full time in 1988, his work has been represented in galleries coast to coast.
Very early in his career, working directly, or "en plein air", from both urban and rural landscape settings became the foundation of his work. His choice of subjects are not so much sought after as they are discovered, sometimes in the most unlikely places. This selective process often takes place through multiple visits to favorite painting locations throughout the seasons and years. The conviction of working directly from nature produces paintings, is initially perceived in the mind's eye, then produced through a close study of the composition and color found at the site. Ideally, that elusive "sense of place" is evident in the finished painting. His desire is to seek the underlying order and beauty of those things observed. The resulting works are, in effect, records of those observations.
Osa's paintings and etchings have been collected throughout the United States for the past 25 years. His work is especially appreciated for its meticulous detail and coloration and is included in private, corporate and institutional collections nationwide.
Mary Linda says, "What I love about Doug's work is the way he is able to capture the beautiful in the everyday. His art allows us to reflect on what is so unique and special about the things around us–things we often overlook."
What a great treat is in store for all of us at the next reception. We will get to return to our beautiful, fresh Clubhouse, we will see new and exciting artwork on the walls and we will get to meet Ruthie and Doug Osa and find out not only about their art careers, but also how two creative people live and work together so beautifully.
Join us!

From the Chef's table. . .
By Editor on January 7, 2015
Happy New Year, Lake Quivira! I hope all who attended the New Year's Masquerade Gala have fully recuperated in time to cheer on your favorite team though College Football Bowling Season. As you sincerely "attempt" to abide by your New Year's resolutions, my culinary team–along with Gary's maintenance crew–will be busy through the annual shutdown to tackle a number of pressing workplace items. Our goal will be to enhance the effectiveness of our limited kitchen space. We are also working on shifting gears when it comes to menu offerings and how we will adjust to the evolving expectations of my most important customers–which is you, the Members.
January 2nd, we will begin with a thorough cleaning of all areas of the kitchen. Equipment disconnected and pulled away from walls, we will stage a deep-cleaning area on the lower level of the clubhouse. This is our once-per-year opportunity to remove doors, hinges, racks, broken seals, etc., to restore and protect these important assets. Gary's men will remove the drop ceiling and gut the bead-boarded walls throughout the entire dish machine area. This is to address an area we rely heavily upon; to be sure we are maintaining the highest cleanliness levels for all of my china, flatware, pots, pans, utensils and so on. Why do I share this behind-the-scene information with you via this media format? Because my staff understands that all production begins and ends with an absolute commitment to cleanliness here at 100 Crescent Boulevard. I jokingly share with my young apprentices that I would want them to be proud to escort their grandparents through our areas of culinary enterprise. But in all seriousness, I welcome all members to feel free to stop by for an impromptu tour of my kitchen (please. . . just not 7 p.m. on a Saturday night). My kitchen is your kitchen. . . as our clubhouse is your home away from home.
The Board of Directors approved a modest, but important upgrade to the production side of our `a la carte kitchen. During the shutdown, we will have stainless steel technicians fabricating a new "window" along our twenty-foot run of hot line space (forgive the jargon). We will replace three heat lamps (and add a fourth) for temperature control above the finished entrées being picked up by the wait staff. Our current window accommodates the width of one entrée plate and limits the number of dishes to expedite out of this crowded area at any given time. Shirley Barr, Steve Terbovich, John Welter and I identified this as an area that will greatly enhance the flow of hot food from my kitchen to your table. Widening this space by only six inches (and controlling the temperate of the lamps above) will dramatically increase timing efficiencies and quality of product.
Speaking of `a la carte, we are introducing the next menu change with a new approach to not only the typical seasonal adjustments, but also to honor Lake Quivira traditions AND accommodate the evolution of healthy dining here at the lake. Upon seating, the hostess will present two menus. One will be two-sided with mainstay items on one side, and healthy choices on the other. The second menu will be a larger, one-sided menu, which will feature the seasonal changes and numerous requests I receive from the multitude of members through their valuable feedback. For instance, traditional items will include the Calamari appetizer, Crescent salad, Club sandwich, Classic burger, Petite filet and beef/chicken/or shrimp Fajitas! For healthy diners, think grilled fish, quinoa, whole grains and other vegetarian-friendly items. On a side note, I will also consider moving to bi-weekly specials instead of weekly specials. The goal will be to change the seasonal menu more often than every three months.
Lastly, we are keeping the Sunday Night Buffets and Taco Tuesdays going, and bringing back Spaghetti and Meatball Thursdays. Boy, this is making me hungry! `Time to climb over my sleeping dogs and see what I can whip up to eat in my own little kitchen, here in Kansas City, Missouri. Again, Happy New Year, and here's to an even better year in '15!
Bon appetite!
Chef Michael

Dennis Nighswonger to start GM position January 19; meet him January 24 if you haven't already – President's Report January 2015
By Editor on January 7, 2015
By Kent Best, President
Quivira, Inc.
Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night
To go to the celebrity ball
~Three Dog Night, 1975
Greetings, Friends and Neighbors.
Happy New Year and hope that 2015 brings a great deal of joy to everyone and their families. By the time you read this we will have had the New Years' Eve Masquerade Party, and knowing the spirit of our Lake Quvirans, it will have been a fantastic evening.
By now most of the community knows we have a new General Manager, Mr. Dennis Nighswonger, who will officially start working January 19. You may have seen him around Lake Quivira, as he has already started familiarizing himself by attending several staff meetings, spending time at the Q-Inc. office and getting to know department managers.
Dennis and his wife Lori will be attending the Saturday night drawing on January 24, during which we will draw until we have a winner, officially introduce Dennis and Lori to Lake Quivira and have a great evening to get our new year started on the right foot. Please plan on attending. Q-Inc. will provide light appetizers and entertainment.
Your Board of Directors held a special board meeting on December 10 with the purpose of going over as much of the operating budget as possible. It was a very informative meeting, and we expect much of the same as we are having two Board meetings in January, one to specifically discuss the capital budget, and the second to be a normal scheduled meeting which may include more capital budget issues.
The Finance Committee will be meeting in January to finalize the presentation, which will clearly communicate the financial challenges we are facing over the next few years. The reason we are being as thorough as possible is for the express purpose of having the community be as informed as possible. The Finance Committee, Strategic Planning Committee and Board of Directors completely understand how all of these areas are tied together. Our objective is to have the options be as clear as possible.
Hopefully, the community has noticed the new retaining system across the dam which the City had installed. There have been a few suggestions that Q-Inc. might look at something similar on Sebring Hill. I don't think there is any question that we need to improve this location, as our cabling is obviously inadequate. I am asking the Lake & Residential and Safety & Security committees to examine the area and present options for an acceptable system to improve the safety factor coming down the hill. This may include professional assistance.
Look, you snow birds; get the heck out of "Dodge!" The sooner you get out of here, the sooner you get back so the rest of us can be glad it is spring!
Here's looking at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo… ~Bertie Higgins, 1981
See you around the Lake.Please wave!

Dawn Rattan's entrepreneurial dream is soon to come true
By Editor on January 7, 2015
By Dawn Gabel
Dawn Rattan dreams of her new business every night."Everfit. I can see it as a gathering place where people come and look forward to doing so. I can see it, and taste it, and smell it, and feel it."
The Everfit sign is hung on the east portion of the WestGlen Eye Care building on Midland Dr. The doors are set to open in January, and that is not soon enough for Dawn. "Frankly, every time I walk into the building, my heart skips a beat," she shared as she moved through the light-filled construction area which will soon house three classrooms.
Last summer Dawn and many friends were regulars at Punch, an exercise studio near K7. It was announced they were closing just as Dawn was taking off for an overseas trip.
"I had always thought I would enjoy owning a fitness club, and I was working out at Punch Fitness. When Punch closed, my friends that I worked out with must have heard me share this wish enough times that they asked me, 'So are you opening, are you going to open one?' I told them no, I am going to Europe! On my flight overseas I kept thinking about it, and I thought, 'I guess maybe; okay, yeah; and then it became a definite yes.'"
Being an entrepreneur is not new to Dawn and her husband Manu. In 2008 they purchased a commercial building to rent as an investment and ended up opening a business themselves.
"Our first business was Village West Discount Liquors in the Legends area," said Dawn. It came to be started because Manu bought the building in 2008. The economy declined and in order to fill it we opened a liquor store. It is a beautiful building and location and it has been fun to watch it grow, but Manu is the lead."
Many know her from her Thirsty Thursday segments on KC Live. "I do marketing for the store, and that includes the KC Live segment. I also take care of the human resources; the people portion of the business. Manu has been the strategic person that works with liquor stock, buying at the right price and passing on the savings to our customers," said Dawn.
Everfit, on the other hand, is Dawn's creation and passion.
"I brainstormed and came up with a name. It kind of happened over that vacation even though I had always had the idea in the back of my head for the structure and the way I would do it."
Dawn shared that her entrepreneurial pathway has had a few mistakes, "We all make mistakes. I am learning as I go. At 40 you think you have learned everything you can learn. But I am learning every day. Right now I am learning about the process to get construction completed, and then there is negotiating," she adds with laughter. "Negotiations are a huge area of learning to me."
Dawn said she has left negotiations for the liquor store business to her husband, Manu. "He is a lawyer, so when it comes to getting the best price and getting it done, Manu has been the master, and I have sat in the back and let him be the master. With Everfit, I am using those lessons of watching my husband negotiate. It is where I am growing the most right now."
Dawn watched her father work hard both for others and for himself.
"He worked for Yellow Freight but always had a lawn business on the side. He worked seven days a week and would work nights loading freight. During the day and weekends he would work for himself cutting grass. It was the first job of all the boys in the neighborhood. It was a pretty poor neighborhood, and to help them out he would allow them to come along and to do lawn care."
She had a dream of working her passion.
"I think that when you own your own business you get to live the dream and be creative. I was able to sort of do that with the liquor store, but here I am truly implementing my dream."
A lot of her business answers came from Procter and Gamble, "I worked for them for eleven years. Great company, learned a lot and I wouldn't change a thing. But with all the levels of bureaucracy, you can't have this crazy idea and come tomorrow and change everything around. Levels signatures and letters of approval and then maybe next year you can carry out your idea.
"In our small business I can say, 'Hey Manu, what do you think if we hire a new person; or change the structure; or offer a new product?' We can do it the next day," Dawn said.
Dawn knew her group needed a place to gather and get healthy and still be able visit.
"I am a workout junky and I also love to throw good parties. So for me this is a mix of both let's meet to get fit, see our friends and then move through our day."
Everfit will offer classes from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m., then later for after the kids are dropped off, and express classes around lunch. Dawn believes there should be a convenient class available for any schedule everyday.
They will offer childcare for the working moms.
"I don't want workouts that are the 'have to be there' kind of places. It should be fun with regulars that are your friends."
Classes will include Yoga, Zumba, Pilatis, High Intensity Interval classes and others. Cycle classes will feature Keiser equipment. Dawn took a personal interest in researching indoor cycling equipment for the new facility. "These are great on not causing joint strain and offering a self-regulated intensity for the work out. . . .they are like riding in butter," she says.
The boxing room houses seventeen bags on boxing stands for regular boxing, kick boxing and more. "We are excited to have a state ranked MMA fighter, along with several over boxing instructors that are very experienced," says Dawn. "Boxing is a great workout that I never thought I would like. It is very cathartic if you have something on your mind.
This will not be a highly choreographed gym, explained Dawn. "These days the gyms have a prescribed, choreographed experience. I am offering the instructors the freedom to offer classes and make them their own. If they have an idea, I want them to do it and mix it up. It is fun to meet the new trainers and talk to them about the dream. I can see they also take up the dream. The excitement is created when they believe in the idea, and I believe in them and then they believe in me."
Dawn is always ready to offer a hand of help to others, but for this project she is needing the offer of help. She has sought out a couple of gym owners to ask for advice on the process and has found it interesting how nervous she was to ask for something. "When you are used to mentoring others and you have to seek advice, it is scary. I am actually on the other side of mentorship at the moment, and it is wonderful how when called they respond, 'yes, of course' or, 'I would be glad to help you.'"
Dawn is also a gifted communicator, but has found her style of communication for marketing is not the style needed for creating a business from scratch.
"Once you think you know how to communicate with people, you have to take it to another level to make it clear they know what you want and need and be clear of the difference. I have a quiet communicating style and have had to summon a firmer style to make my needs heard with the construction."
Soon the doors will open to Dawn's dream. "I have always said I wanted a job I just happen to get paid for," she mused. "One that I love so much that coming into work is a joy. This is it."

Quivira in Verse By Jeanne Jones
By Editor on December 7, 2014
A Recap
In May we spoke of dogs gone foul
from scents acquired on the prowl
In June the theme was leaves of three
(In case you missed it, leave them be!)
July held words on etiquette
When cart meets car, no need to fret
In August, bugs made me start swearin'
September's highlight was the Heron
October found me past my prime
November? Contemplating crime
The time has flown—don't we all know it?
And I've been glad to be your poet.

Tennis Talk – December 2014
By Editor on December 7, 2014
There is some news to report since last month that I hope you will enjoy. OP racket club was purchased by a tennis organization that has taken over the building and the courts for junior development. This is going to be a great move for the kids that are part of the K-CUT tennis organization. As they move forward, all of the part-time pros were let go, as well as many of the old guard pros.
So I am now at Midtown Tennis off of 435 & Metcalf. It is a very beautiful, nine court indoor tennis, workout, swim and fitness club. They are set up as a nationwide club with sites from cost to cost. The only hitch is that in order for LQ Juniors to take lessons, a membership is required–which is $50/month. I have a solution for the monthly cost: from May to October, any LQ kids who sign up for private or group lessons at Midtown will get a free lesson at LQ for the five months we will be at the lake. So you will be getting your money back by my doing this.
The attitude at Midtown Tennis for the kids is the same as anywhere in the city. We have groups that are less competitive and groups with kids who want to try out for college teams. What they do have that no other club has are many fun nights of competition for all levels, small, one night tournaments that provide pizza as well.
Please give this a try! Contact myself or Dave Gary at 913 491 4116 to set up a visit. I am already giving lessons to four of our JTL kids at Midtown, and I know it will help us for this up-coming JTL season. We will be throwing a tennis adult party in February, so keep an eye out for that.
Thanks for a great spring, summer and fall season–and let's get better for next year!

Travel Photography is topic of January Photo Club meeting
By Editor on December 7, 2014
By Susan Hidalgo
Anne Gill presented a thorough lesson on taking sunset photos. Here are a few tips:
* Determine the time of sunset. Be there one-half hour before sunset and stay after the sun sets.
* Find a vantage point
* Best sunsets are evening rainy days
* Shoot something in the foreground to show interest
* Photo in 2/3rds
* Slightly underexposing the sunset will make the colors look richer more and defined and dramatic.
Come join in the fun. Learn more about photography and share your photos. Our next LQPC meeting will be Tue., Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. Jim Regan will present an educational topic on Travel Photography. He has recently returned from Spain and Portugal and has relevant pointers for travel photography.
Since the Clubhouse will be closed the first two weeks in January, the LQPC meeting will be Tue., Jan. 9, at Anne Gill's home, at 7 p.m. We will discuss future LQPC ideas and programs. Please bring an appetizer or a dessert to share.
The next LQPC exhibit for the Clubhouse will be Portrait Photography. Please upload your photos (past or present) in the "Portrait Photography" exhibit in the Clubhouse Exhibition Candidates gallery.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Trotting on Empty
To some, horse-drawn carriage rides are a New York City tradition, an enjoyable way to experience the beauty of Central Park or the bustle of Times Square. Others, though, are decrying the horses' "nose-to-tailpipe" existence and calling for the business to be discontinued.

This is all just opinion, take what you will and respectful feedback is very much appreciated.
I have only had success with Udyr as a very good support role.
1) Always take turtle+regen pendant at lvl 1 -> In order to be able to stay in your lane long enough to afford your philo stone and port back thus not losing any valuable xp/gold time.
Turtle allows you to stay on front lines and get those last hits regardless of who you lane against (ranged or melee) unless of course your against TWO ranged. Then youre SOL, if this occurs play defensively and ask for some ranged backup of your own if your laned with another melee or heaven forbid soloing!
2) Once you have your stone or if you have enough mana from turtle stance farming, you will proceed to level up only TURTLE and BEAR ->
The logic here is hopefully you have a lane partner and your on a side lane. The plan is to stay in turtle stance the whole time farming up creeps for hp/mana and whenever an opponent gets a lil cocky, you hit bear stance and whack the cocky one once or twice, hopefully your lane partner has a brain and gets one or two hits in as well. after the FIRST hit, you INSTANTLY hit turtle stance and back it up thus taking no damage and maybe even gaining a little health with your attack.
3) Everytime that you cannot take neither BEAR nor TURTLE, you level up TIGER. Ignore phoenix since you cannot spread yourself out too thin. Tiger is key to take down towers and to add in moderate dps to team fights.
4) Mid game once the ganks start ->
Your role as Udyr is to support by *STUNNING CONSTANTLY* (every 5 seconds)
After your first stun, if the other team isn't running away scared, you instantly hit TURTLE cause Udyr gets focused like nobodies business. If most of the other team does run, then you can stay in bear and stun away.
If you do get attacked, you TURTLE INSTANTLY and then back up for ONE SECOND before turning around, hitting BEAR AGAIN, getting the speed boost and stunning someone again. If it seems like you don't need another stun and that one TIGER swipe will really turn a fight then juggle in some Tiger swipes but generally stick to stunning the hell out of people, annoying them so they look at you and you turtle as soon as they do thus maybe saving a teammates life or at least prolonging it if nothing. If you need to continue to run away, just juggle bear/turtle for the shield and speed boost to get away.
You rinse and repeat this all day long.
When you get to 50% or less health, you go into the jungle, turn on bear, hit something, turn on turtle and regen yourself to full using turtle on neutral creeps juggling bear/turtle/tiger with a focus on turtle to get your hp/mana up. When you fill up your mana/hp this way you go back to a lane and assist with ganks again like before. Just watch your *** for gankers inthe jungle, if you get spotted, bear stun, go turtle and run, then bear again for speed boost while alt-click pinging to your mates for backup.
My build order I used in the games in which I was mildly successful with is:
Regen Pendant
Philo Stone
Zerk Boots or Merc Threads if enemies are stun/snare heavy
Infinity Edge
Note: I have not yet finished infinity edge but I figured I had atk spd covered with boots+starks+tiger and tiger stance dmg (and dmg in general) was a little weak so I figured Edge would do the trick.
However, if surviving and chasing after that initial stun is a still a problem and you can't quite close the distance for that second stun, I would get a frozen mallet to round you off as the perfect mildly ******ed support role character.
No one will fear you but you will be annoying as hell when surrounded by your teammates cause you can stun constantly and no one ever wants to focus you once they figure out you will INSTANTLY TURTLE the second you get hit thus denying any real damage almost always unless you are left out in the cold on your own...
Have fun. Udyr is still more worthless than an ******* on your elbow in general, but I think with some practice and perhaps a better build order and competent teammates, he can become a real jack of all trades support beast.
Why do you need a mana regen item? He never runs out... All his moves are only 40-80, plus turtle gives a lot of mana back.
No Sheen = Ur doing it wrong.
And ffs, if the only thing you can bring to the table as Udyr during the early/mid game team fights is autoattack damage, an awful self shield, and a 1 second stun that does no additional damage then YOU ARE A GIANT LIABILITY TO YOUR TEAM.
Jax will not only do 3x as much damage then you, but he stuns in an AoE, has better survivability, and his gap closer hits for 200+ damage on a 5 second cooldown.
Not that I have much experience with Udyr, but I can't really see how this build could be even remotely viable. You can't do much of anything except stun in team fights until way after level 10 when Tiger Stance has an acceptable number of points, and there are barely any team fights for you to even utilize it early on.
Most of the benefit of leveling bear early is to gank with the speed boost...but with this build, even if you catch them, so what? You can't do any sort of noticeable damage by yourself, and since the stun is so short, your teammates probably won't be able to cover the distance in time to help out. At the very least, you'd need the Frozen Mallet way earlier. Then your early bear form will actually help your team, or you can hope that your low sustained DPS and high lifesteal will trick your opponents into not starting to run until it's too late, forgetting that they're slowed.
As it stands, your bear stance isn't good for much except rotating stuns in a teamfight until you have an offensive skill anyway, so you might as well get either Tiger or Phoenix first so you can actually do some damage and push creeps at any level of competence, and get bear a little later when you're at the stage of the game where it's actually useful for what you're doing with it. Five points in bear isn't all that much better than one if you don't do enough damage to gank with it using the charge. Bear>Turtle means it'll be nine seconds until you can go back to Bear anyway, so lowering the stun cooldown is worthless.
Laning will be total hell with absolutely no damage boost of any kind. You have survivability, sure, but you'd never budge from your tower unless you're partnered with Singed or Morgana or someone else with a great AoE farming ability.
Expecting to pseudo-tank in a teamfight with Turtle Stance and no HP/defensive items is probably a lost cause, too. If they bother targetting you at all, you'll be focused, and neither the shield nor the lifesteal is going to help you.
Sheen is absolutely necessary for Udyr. Stance dancing to tank and stun maybe a great way to play, but you wont do **** for damage. you need a sheen.
Udyr is the worst hero made ever

veary unhappy pomegranate
I don't know how to fertilize or tend pomegranate.I live in Mississippi there are pomegranates growing right near me that look grate.Mine looks so bad I am ashamed to have a plant that looks so bad all help would be appreciated.
I grew two pomegranates from the seed of a store-bought one almost 45 years ago.... think it must have been the 'Wonderful' variety. During a minus 17 degrees one winter they died back to the ground but grew back up again from the roots & bear every year. They are on a west side of an aluminum shed (lots of hot sun!) & get only the water from an adjoining lawn & nothing else. Just now I see some flowers appearing & though the flowers come over a long period it amazes me that they ALL ripen at the same time! I live at a mile high altitude in a very DRY climate with cold winters. From your posting I guess they must also grow well in the more humid south too.! Wonder if yours is still young yet or do the leaves still have the glossy green/pinkish color? I haven't heard of any diseases that affect the 'pomes here & it has been only in the past few years that I have seen quite a few bearing ones other than mine which may have been the first.
A beautiful (but thorny!) carefree bush here that seems to also like the area where I now have a fig 'tree' (bush) that has survived many a freezing winter also. Hope your 'pome recovers in time for some blossoms!
scuff up and remove all the grass under the tree canopy and put composted wood mulch down. That grass is stealing too much water and nutrients from your young tree. Fertilization is less important than reducing competition but a small amount of fertilizer would also be good, say one cup of 10-10-10.

Perth-Andover Flood Part 1: Officials Relive March 23rd, 2012
This Saturday will be the one year anniversary of the worst flood in Perth-Andover's history. We begin our coverage of that event. News Source 8's Katie Zarrilli listened as town officials relived what happened that Friday morning when the water began to rise.

Amazon Building Its Own Android App Market? 165
from the rekindling-their-handheld-hopes dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
No, this is nothing like price fixing. Price fixing is when the majority of sellers of a given product to a certain market agree to set the same price, to artificially control supply and demand.
It could be price fixing if Amazon and Google where fixing the price between themselves and sell the apps for the same price, regardless of the app developers' wishes.
(this is horizontal price fixing. There is also vertical, when the producer colludes with the retailers. This also doesn't happen here, and besides it isn't illegal according to the US Supreme Court).
PC and Mac apps worked on any PC and Mac as long as the hardware met the requirements. Dell/HP didn't do too much customization of the OS except for including drivers and wallpaper/BIOS for branding
Back in the days of DOS before Win95 took over the PC world, when the PC market was growing, while what you say was largely true as written, you have to remember that there was a lot less abstraction of hardware, and that the diversity (in the PC world) of hardware was at least as significant as the diversity of customized Android OS software and hardware combined (and, that there were quite a few versions of MS/PC-DOS, and toward the end of the period a few clones, floating around simultaneously as OS software), and yet the PC software market did quite well (and, once the Mac was around, better than the market for Mac software despite the latters more uniform target platform.)
Look up AppBrain.
It does this pretty well.

As Gbenga Daniel is back in the dock
SIR: It was an occasion for dancing, singing and merriment for the former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniels when an Abeokuta High Court dismissed the case filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. But this is proving to be a short-lived celebration.
I understand that the EFCC has secured the approval of the Chief Judge of the Ogun State, Justice O.O Olopade to re- arraign the Ex- governor. During the last dismissal of the case it was said that Justice Mabekoje advised the EFCC to re-file their charges as it failed to seek the consent of court before amending the charge.
This is indeed a moment of deja-vu for some of us who believe in the rule of law as it shows and that all hope is not lost. I am proud in the sense that despite the criticism heaped on the EFCC, the Commission did not give up; they are still fighting to rid the country of corrupt politicians and individuals who turns the public treasury into their personal purse.
I hope Justice Mabejoke will look into the substantive case this time around and ensure that justice is done. This time, no technicality should be allowed to frustrate the dispensation of justice.
Lastly, we should also note that it is not only that justice must be done; justice must be seen to be done.

Very well written and superbly narrated. A great story of the Mossad and their determination at meeting out justice. If you liked the movie "Munich", you'll love this audio book. Striking Back goes into far more detail than the movie could. You won't be sorry!
"A little too technical for laymen"
A fascinating story, but pretty daunting in terms of the technology and terms. If you aren't an IT expert (like me) there's a good chance you'll drown in the details.
"An Instant Favorite.! "
Anyone with a respect and fascination for Earth Science will enjoy this book! The performance was perfect for this topic.
"Abort the launch!!!!! This book is a no-go!"
Just about anything would be an improvement. Sadly, almost the ENTIRE book is a list of dates and associated activities, such as one missile being removed from its silo and placed into another, or a new replacement part being installed in a given missile. It actually sounds like the narrator is just reading down a maintenance log.
At the risk of repeating myself, the author could have written something that was far more pleasant to listen to than a seemingly interminable laundry list of missile maintenance, upgrades, movement, etc. I don't think the audio sample on Audible.Com was representative of what the rest of the audiobook is like.
No. I hate to say it, but I think I wasted a credit on this one. The audio sample sounded great.
Okay, I've never written a book, so I have no idea how difficult it is. I admit it. But, it almost sounds like the author just grabbed reams and reams of Air Force missile maintenance logs, placed them in chronological order, then called it a book.
"An American Hero"
Anybody. Mickey Mouse, perhaps? Bugs Bunny? His narration was so painful, that I couldn't get past the first hour of the audio book.
Oh, Lord, no!!!!!
"An Instant Favorite!"
I'll start by saying that even as a child, Ancient Egypt has held a special fascination for me; The pyramids, temples, pharaohs, and the Nile. But, I've never really thought about the common person. The Egyptian is a great story of one such common man.
The narration is great.
"Overall, quite good."
My only beef with this book is the narrator. There is something that sounds so ridiculous when a woman tries to sound like a man. Seriously, it reminds me of my kindergarten teacher telling a story.
"Love it!"
Given the billions of galaxies in the Universe, I imagine the Universe is teeming with life. So, why HAVEN'T we heard from any of them? This book examines the paradox in simple terms that even lay people can appreciate.
"Very Good!"
I'm one of those people who believe that 99.999% of all 'UFO' sightings are easily explainable as natural phenomena, hoaxes, schizophrenia, or misidentified aircraft. However, there is that .001% that defies explanation...
This book approaches the subject of UFO's in that same light, using ONLY the most credible reports from people who have nothing to gain.
I read Bourne's first book and wasn't real impressed. I downloaded this one in the hopes of some improvement. I hate to say it, but it feels like a wasted credit.
It's nice to see that al-qaeda is subject to the same backbiting, backstabbing, and dissent that any corporation in America is prone to. It's also important for Americans to understand how systemic failures on the part of our government lead to the disaster that was 9/11.
