Keisel's beard brings smiles to kidsPosted by on January 29, 2013 – 4:06 am
As Brett Keisel walked into Kyla Ruffing's room at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, the shy eight-year old looked surprised, and then broke into a sweet smile as she looked at the big guy standing beside her hospital bed.
When asked who it was, she didn't say Keisel, but instead gave a much simpler answer, "The Beard."
"It was amazing," said her mother Danielle Nagel. "I was really blown away. I wasn't expecting him to walk through the door. It was great to see him."
Ruffling quietly talked with Keisel, showing him what she was building with Lego's. Then she slowly started coming out of her shell, pulling out the reason she knows him as "The Beard," her own oversized beard she put on to compare to Keisel's. Keisel admired the look, the two smoothed out their beards, and he even signed a team photo for her that read, "You have the best beard I have ever seen."
"It was awesome," said Keisel, who also enjoyed seeing other patients on the floor play with their beards. "To see them play along with it, they had so much fun with it. Kyla was so filled with life and joy. When so much is happening that she could be filled with negativity, she was exuberant and joyous and lifted me up. Seeing them run around with their beards and turning around and making them into mullets, it was awesome."
It's Keisel's beard that has incredible meaning for the kids at Children's Hospital, particularly those on the oncology floor where he visited. In another week he will shave off the beard at his annual "Shear Da Beard" event, and all proceeds go to cancer programs at the hospital.
"It's great," said Dr. Jake Cooper, the attending physician in hematology and oncology. "Our floor is full always. We do our best to keep the kids happy and distracted when they are going through some tough medications and serious diagnosis. Having a local hero like Mr. Keisel show up is a wonderful surprise for the kids to have."
Keisel went room to room, giving the kids Steelers teddy bears, bracelets and signed team photos, but also giving them smiles, hugs and love. And they gave him something much more.
"Every time I go in there I can't help but get filled with emotion," said Keisel. "The things these families and kids have to go through with their treatment, it's very tough. It does fill me with emotion, but it fills me with pride at the same time knowing I am helping in a small way."
He is helping in a much greater way than he realizes. It's not just the financial impact that shaving the beard has, it goes far deeper.
"It's a symbol, it's a yearly tradition and the people here know it's for them," said Cooper. "The people here view his huge mammoth beard as a sign of his affection for Children's Hospital and his support for all of our patients. They love it. You see a lot of fake beards being worn by the kids for solidarity and team spirit."
And they are beards that will lovingly be worn long after Keisel shaves his off.

How do we get you to come to my grandaughters room when we are there. She was there on 6A and I asked if one of the Steelers could come and see her. She went thru 3 operations in a week and wanted a steeler to come and see her.????

Mr. Keisel , Each football season I dread to see you and your teamates come to my Hometown stadium in Baltimore . I am not a Steelers fan but I have the greatest respect for you. What you do for these kids is even beyond inspiration. Thank you for being more than just about yourself. God bless you and yours . Good luck ( Except when you play the Ravens ) .
By Ted on Jan 29, 2013 | Reply
Much respect to "The Beard" takes a good man to try and help these kids and share his time bringing them smiles and hope. Nice to see its not all about football – you sir are a hero! "Shear Da Beard" then lets get this team back on track! Good luck to you and thank you on behalf of the kids and familes that your visits bring smiles in troubled times!

Wow, Brett Keisel!! As a lifetime Steeler fan, I know you are a one of our greatest players…. but now you are one of my favorite heroes. Kyla is my great-niece who is fighting this awful battle with leukemia, just like one of you Steelers….. using that "you won't defeat me" attitude. May God bless you and keep you safe. Thanks for all you do, you truly are an angel in disguise.

Brett, We are deep in Ravens territory. Win or lose, efforts like your charity makes us even more proud to display our allegiance to the black and gold. It's all about the kids! Can't even begin to imagine what they are going through at such a young age and you are giving them a second chance at life. You are a man with a heart bigger than dabeard. God bless you my brother. This truly is deserving of a triple yoi! See yunz in 2013!

Mr. Keisel as a husband of a young lady that is a two time cancer survivor (thyroid and breast), what you do for these little kids is just absolutely amazing. You are a god send.

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story misidentified Mark Schmidt as the former co-owner of Bike Hampton. He was never involved in the running of the store, though he invested in the business about 10 years ago.
When Bob Michaelson and his wife took their bicycles to BikeHampton for repairs last fall, they thought nothing of it. As city residents who have had a second home in Sag Harbor for about 30 years, they have a long history with the shop. They purchased their bikes from the previous owners back when BikeHampton was located on Bay Street.
Last November, when Michaelson went back to retrieve the bikes, he was told two things: one, his bike — a $2,000 hybrid — needed a part that had to be ordered; and two, the shop would be closing.
"They told me it would reopen, and that in the meantime the bikes would be taken to the owner's home and the phone would remain active," he recalled. After some time passed, however, "I hadn't hear from them," Michaelson continued. "And the phone had been disconnected."
According to Sag Harbor Village Detective Jeff Proctor, there have been several different people who have come to the police with similar stories.
"I've had a few phone calls from people who have left their bikes there to get repaired or sold," in which case BikeHampton and the bike owner would share the profits, he said.
And now — with BikeHampton's closure in December — he said these people have found themselves utterly bike-less.
Employees of the Flying Point Surf Shop, which has since expanded its women's department into the former BikeHampton space, said they, too, have received visits from frustrated customers who have recently come looking for sprockets and chains only to find Uggs and bikinis. One employee said he's seen at least five such visitors.
Attempts to contact both BikeHampton's former owner, Dave Krum, were met with disconnected phone lines. Krum — who Proctor said is currently in Florida — did not return messages left on his cell phone.
"I had gone in the store periodically to buy a bike or get some repairs done," Michaelson continued. "The people were friendly and got things done. It was a good part of the business community."
When asked if there were any red flags that could have possibly led to this sudden turn of events, Michaelson said, no, "not from my point of view."
In an interview last week, however, he said the situation seemed rather grim: "I honestly don't expect to ever see that bicycle again."
But, that was then.
This past Tuesday, Detective Proctor said he may have found the missing metal stash. Based on information he received from sources who wished to remain anonymous, he said several bikes are currently being stored at a home near Sag Harbor.
"We don't know if that's going to be all the bikes," Proctor added. However, he urges anyone who had left a bike at BikeHampton prior to its closure to contact the police department.
As of press time, it still wasn't clear whether or not Michaelson's bike had been located, but at least Michaelson said he now has hopes of seeing his hybrid once more.
"I had already gone out and bought a new bicycle under the assumption that that one was gone," he admitted. "But, that's ok. I wanted a new bike anyway."
He said he hopes everyone else with a missing bicycle finds him or herself just as fortunate.

British Isles Sketchbook
Francis William Edmonds used this sketchbook during his three-week journey through the British Isles, recording important monuments he encountered along the way in places such as Warwick, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Stratford-upon-Avon. In one of the most striking sketches, combining precise outlines and exacting details, Edmonds rendered the Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles of Jedburgh Abbey, looming over the Scottish town. Since he was primarily a genre painter, this sketchbook provides a rare example of his work in land- and townscape composition.

Brattleboro man faces 10 years in prison for child pornBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | April 17,2013A 59-year-old Brattleboro man has pleaded guilty to charges of possession of child pornography and faces up to 10 years in prison, according to a plea agreement filed in the case.
Samuel Sergi was arrested in August 2012 at his home after FBI agents, aided by Brattleboro police, raided his Lawton Drive residence.
Agents found child pornography videos depicting children as young as a year old on Sergis computer, according to court records. Under terms of the plea agreement, Sergi will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Sergi entered into a plea agreement last week in U.S. District Court in Rutland, about two weeks after U.S. District Judge Christina Reiss denied a motion by Sergis attorney to suppress statements Sergi made to the FBI agents who were conducting a search of his home.
According to a motion filed by Sergis attorney, Sergi was questioned by two FBI agents in a small bedroom in his home with the door closed, and was never given his Miranda warnings.
One FBI agent repeatedly told Sergi he was free to leave, but agents accompanied him when he went into the next room to talk to his wife or get a pack of cigarettes, saying they didnt want him interfering with the search.
Agents also stated that they originally suspected Sergis son with downloading the child pornography, but that Sergi admitted to the agents shortly after they arrived that he had been downloading child pornography for five to six years and that detection by law enforcement was one of his worst fears.
Sergi told agents that he maintained a child pornography library on his computer and shared the files of videos with others, and held Internet chats with them as well.
According to FBI affidavits filed in the case, Sergis computer usage using the Gnutella file-sharing network had come to the attention to FBI agents last spring and summer.
FBI agents based in Alabama had monitored Sergis computer usage and his peer-to-peer file sharing, using Limewire and Frostwire, which are two other networks.
Assisting the FBI in the case was the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, according to the court documents.
Sergi was represented by attorney David McColgin, while the case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

IT WAS BASTILLE Day—my first day at the Tour de France—and already the race was getting away from me. I sped down a serpentine road in the foothills of the Pyrenees, painfully aware that this was scenery no one should ever have to hurry through: mustard fields, 500-year-old ruins, happy dairy cows proffering udders to anyone who'd drink. I was traveling with my wife, Anne, an NPR reporter. Our credentials gave us access to lots of places, but didn't allow us to follow the racers on the roads. So, after the morning's fictif start—the ceremonial one put on for tourists—we had immediately blasted off from Cugnaux on alternate routes in hopes of leapfrogging the racers and intersecting with them midday in a village several valleys away.
Not only were we late—we were lost. We had a Garmin GPS and a topo map of the Pyrenees spread across the dash of our rental Peugeot, but they were no help. The tiny roads wriggled in all directions like deep-tissue capillaries, passing through obscure hyphenated villes like Bagnères-de-Bigorre and Argelès-Gazost. They were doubtless lovely places to stop for lunch, but I mashed the pedal, gnawing on a blood sausage and a hunk of cave-aged Basque cheese. As we hunted for possible shortcuts on the Garmin, bits of crust, rind, and garlicky sausage skin accumulated in the folds of the car.
A U-turn, a goat traffic jam, a police barricade, and several backtracks later, I turned at last onto a promising road. We hurtled past olive groves, fig orchards, and nodding sunflower fields, through long tunnels of waxy elm trees, constantly fretting at the time. Finally the road crested a hill, and there it was, our objective for the past two hours: Sarrancolin, a commune of about 600 souls with a steeple rising over slate parapets and shutters thrown open to the light. The square buzzed with the excitement of imminent invasion. Helicopters hovered and a vanguard of police motorcycles rumbled along the cobblestones.
The locals were excited to have the Tour pass through—and on a national holiday at that. I smiled at two elderly sisters in cheery dresses and party hats who sat in front of their house, a pitcher of sangria and a vase of freshly plucked flowers gracing a table covered in lace linen. Banners draped everywhere—Viva le Voeckler!—reminded anyone who didn't already know that on Stage 12 a Frenchman was wearing the yellow jersey. Race officials hadn't set up barricades as they do in larger towns. A crowd gathered and people craned their necks to see beyond a cluster of shops that created a sharp blind curve.

Shot on digital video and taking its title from his 1992 book of poetry, Sherman Alexie's The Business of Fancydancing is a portrait of the conflicted relationship between two Native American men. Aristotle Joseph (Gene Tagaban) and Seymour Polatkin (Evan Adams) had long been best friends by the time they left their Spokane reservation to attend college in Seattle. But while Seymour flourished in Seattle as a gay writer, Aristotle endured nothing but bad luck that led to growing resentment, both against white society and his best friend. Although Aristotle returned to the reservation, Seymour remained in Seattle. Now, 15 years later, the sudden death of their mutual childhood friend brings Seymour back to the reservation -- without his white boyfriend -- where he must cope with his status as the de facto mouthpiece for his people and his estranged relationship with both Aristotle, who seems to be growing more violent by the day, and also Agnes (Michelle St. John), his one-time college girlfriend. The Business of Fancydancing was screened at the 2002 Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival.~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

(photo credit: Chicago Sun-Times) Susannah Collins, the sideline reporter who attained viral infamy due to her on-air slip-up on Tuesday when she uttered the now-famous Freudian slip about the Chicago Blackhawks having a "tremendous amount of sex" during the regular season instead of "tremendous amount of success," has been fired by Comcast SportsNet Chicago, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times. A statement released by Comcast SportsNet Chicago claims that her on-air gaffe had nothing to do with Collins, who has been with Comcast SportsNet Chicago since 2012, suddenly being out of a job: "Due to circumstances unrelated to her on-air remarks Tuesday night, Susannah Collins and Comcast SportsNet Chicago have parted ways. We appreciate everything Susannah has contributed to our network over the past year and wish her the best in her future endeavors." Collins attempted to take the whirlwind created by her mistake during pregame coverage of Game 1 of the playoff series between the Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild, tweeting out jokes about the hilarious mistake. Video of the Freudian slip that set things in motion: Collins handled the epic mistake with dignity, aplomb and self-deprecating humor: Thanks for laughing along with me & my "tremendous" slip, guys. Who couldn't use a good chuckle every now & then right?? #Whoops! — Susannah Collins (@susannahcollins) May 1, 2013 Oh my. I've picked up over 200 followers in the last 50 minutes. Ah, the power of deadspin… #youguysarequick — Susannah Collins (@susannahcollins) May 1, 2013 Don't worry, I'll do my best to avoid saying "Clutterbuck" tonight. Can't have a other slip-up! #thatdidntgothewayiplanned — Susannah Collins (@susannahcollins) May 1, 2013 @ssaltess I LOVE my job. #LuckyGal — Susannah Collins (@susannahcollins) May 1, 2013 Obviously, her sense of humor about the whole thing did not save the job that she loved. No one will ever know for certain how much of a role Collins' on-air miscue had in her dismissal, but as is often said: There is no such thing as bad publicity so no one should expect the lovely and talented young woman to be out of a job for too long. The post Reporter who said Blackhawks 'had a tremendous amount of sex' fired (video) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.
This happens all the time on Network News. None of them can get anything out of their mouths without flubbing it up. Why should this one be fired?
can happen to anyone reporters are under pressure with audince so large,whoever fires anyone for a mistake like this needs to get a life.it is just a common FACT people make mistakes.
I will tell you. It isn't about her mistake, or even her, it is about implanting PC fear among all workers in the media. She serves as an example if you displease the tyrant bosses who run everything. Do you really believe that the man who fired her doesn't know all people make mistakes, or, that he never did himself? She is an example to others, step out of line, even an inch, you're gone. Welcome to the new America. Land of the used to be free.
Well said...
Agreed, it was a stupid reason to fire her.
my bet is she's a conservative and they were looking for ANY reason to let her go......
The better question is why was she hired in the first place? It is time networks stop hiring "rink/court.field bunnies" for idiotic sideline reports that do nothing but interfere with a fan trying to actually...you know...WATCH THE GAME. And any actual reporting should be done by people who actually KNOW the sports and are hired for their knowledge rather than their looks.
Fired? For a mistake like this? And then for example I see on some news programs malicious comments made about the President and that's OK?
How about Sarah Palin? She's had lots of crap thrown at her, undeservedly, and no one gets even a hand slap...
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
Yeah. Have you ever heard of the first amendment? A small thing called freedom of speech that is part of the difference between this political system and facism. Thank you, come again.
I agree that she should not have been fired for this silly mistake. But, the 1st amendment doesn't apply when your working and on the company timeclock. Also, jbbmusic, yes, making malicious comments about the President is okay and protected by the 1st amendment. No one has been arrested for making comments about the President or Palin for that matter.
Firing her was kind of childish...and to say they are doing so for some unannounced reason, but NOT because of her flub is them believing we are all idiots and buy that line of baloney!
ESPN or FOX Sports should pick her up quickly...both better than Comcast anyhow. Comcast...one of the reasons I don't have cable anymore...switched to DISH almost 20 years ago. Comcast...SUCKS!
Another example of why COMCAST SUCK$. just wait, Comcast will find a way to take this as justification to raise everyone's cable bill by $50 a month and call it a "channel reconstruction" so they can turn around in 6 months and spend billions on buying a studio!
Susannah - hope you land on your feet with a bigger and better job!
This is just antoher example of corporate america over reacting
to an honest mistake that 99% of americans took and laughed over. They should be ASHAMED,ASHAMED,ASHAMED at their actions.
You Sir/Ma'am are an @##$#$%^%. This has nothing to do with race nor is my comment to you a FLUB!!!
Comcast fired her for a slip of the tongue. They steal TV time with their commercials. Who they going to fire over that.
why in the hell did they fire her???? it was an innocent frickin mistake! cumcast is full of idiots!
I hear Vivid is willing to pay her a cool million to do one porn video. So she has that to fall back on.
OK now this is Chicago, right, where your chances of being shot are about 10 to 1! So these guys fire somebody for mucking up a live TV spot.
Gotta say something about where everybody's head is in Chicago.
Do the right thing, admit the station is wrong and hire her back.
In the alternative, Susanna, use this as a sign and kiss Chicago goodbye.
She wasn't fired due to the slip up, she was fired for making a series of youtube videos 3 years ago - "Sports Nutz". While I see nothing wrong with the videos, she does say some things that could definitely be considered offensive by others.
Then she should have been fired three years ago. Clearly Comcast knew of the videos, they're on YouTube.
Wow, there it is. Just punch her name into YouTube. I find it hard to believe Comcast didn't know about that before they hired her, but when her flub went viral, but they sure know now.
And this is why you are alone with your blow up dolls scattered about your place. Who the hell uses the work "skank" anymore? How about we call the female members of your family skanks? Did you come from an ugly family, hit multiple times by the Ugly Tree, that they are not as attractive as the reporter?
Wow, yours is really a sad, pitiful uncalled for comment. Too bad your parents didn't do a better job raising you. That's sad for you.
You, sir, are a skank. Sorry that the ugly tree hit you too many times.
Buh By Comcast, Hello World !!
Reason 1 million why Comcast sukks !!
And do you hear the Blackhawks denying the statement ?? Maybe that is the secret, sure wish the Sharks would get some today......and be ready for the Vanky 2nite !!
I think I need to seriously consider firing Comcast as my internet provider for this!! This was NOT something someone should be fired for......NOT very Comcastic you douches!!
comment below viewing threshold
why should she get fired just for that. i could understand if she
was throwin bananas at people and cussin them out,but that was just
plain retarted to fire her for that was just plain WRONG
Speaking only to the flub she made on air; it was a doozy, but also hilarious. Where is your sense of humor? We don't have much to laugh at these days, so give her a break!!!!!!!!!
I undrestand you so clearly
Can't believe she was fired for that!? I'm from the Chicago area, she was definitely eye candy for us Blackhawk fans. I've been trying to tell my family to dump comcast for a long time,and get the DISH, they won't listen.....maybe now I got some ammuninition in that argument. Comcast is HORRIBLE!!! I can't wait till Cox Cable makes it into the midwest states.
Oh come ON! That's what makes live broadcasts fun.
Typical Communistcast tactics: expect perfection from everybody except themselves. That's a company to stay far, far away from if you want to maintain your sanity.
The poor girl just slipped up, not like the reporter in ND whose first on-air words were vulgarity. And she didn't even make an issue of it after she realized what she'd said. She handled it with professionalism and poise. One of the guys back in the newsroom snickered - you could hear it. Is he gonna get fired too for his childish reaction? Give the girl a second chance!
She shouldn't need a second chance. What she did does not justify job termination.
That's not nice, the young lady made a humorous mistake. Comcast's statement that she was not fired because of it is transparently lame and an obvious lie. If I had Comcast I'd drop them like a bad habit, I certainly will never purchase any of their services given the chance.
She was fired because she once co-hosted an Internet sports show called "Sports Nutz" - that show featured X-rated language, sexual innuendo, etc. Look it up on You Tube. Having said that, Comcast had to have known that was in her past and hired her anyway.Firing her now because people Googling "Susannah Collins" will find those old clips is cowardly, if you ask me. She did a GREAT job covering the Hawks and will be missed. Here's hoping she finds another 'dream gig', as she has described covering the Hawks.
Possibly she will consider a civil suit against Comcast for wrongful termination? I would.
I saw the clip. She slipped. It was a mistake and I think unintentional. She must have been fired for something in addition to this clip. If she was fired solely for the clip I disagree and she should be given her job back.
What's the big deal? She made a simple mistake - people do it all the time. I bet the Moron that fired her makes more mistakes than she does. I say sue their asses to total oblivian.
If I were on the jury she would get her job back! She did not say sex, she messed up saying success. You can not hire someone because of their past but you can not fire them either unless they lied about it and you did not know.
I've heard much worse that that.You can barely make out the mistake during the telecast. Nobody watches hockey anyways!!!
how sad she was fired, comcast owns nbc and their "news" programs make things up or lie all the time, she made a mistake and they fire her?! give me a break
She got fired for that? How absurd!
Ridiculous to fire her!
She made a simple mistake. A slip of the tongue on air. Her firing was BS! With a bit of luck she should land on her feet and do fine. Good luck kid!
Ms. Collins seems intelligent enough to turn this into a golden goose egg, Hell I wouldn't kick her out for eating cookies in bed, She just outgrew the narrow minded management style of Comcast and can now move on to the professional networks.
Accidents do and will happen, Comcast should have handled it differently. She should have been given 2-3days off, apologized or something,she should be given another chance.
I thought it was quit funny and not offensive. Typical comcast they can't get anything right, they are the worst company I've ever delt with.
If the company is that stupid to fire her because she slipped up then corrected herself immediately then it's a company she shouldn't want to work for. I wouldn't work for a company like that!
Wow!! Fired over an unharmful slip up. The company should be ashamed of themselves. Shameful!!
comment below viewing threshold
F Comcast! She'll be better off in the long run anyways. Good luck Ms. Collins!
That would be cool if Fox got her. ESPN wont touch her with a ten meter cattleprod.
Wounder what Union party the CEO's and mangement are apart of,the Demicratic or Republican Union party.
Comcast SportsNet Chicago....sure, we believe you and, btw, the check is in the mail!

CRESTVIEW — An influx of neighbors arriving with military reassignments has boosted the population and propelled the city into the University of Florida's Top 100 growing cities in the state.
Crestview was ranked 100 in 2010. UF's December report covering 2012 found the city had nudged its way to 97th place.
The university's Bureau of Economic and Business Research, using U.S. census reports, determined that Crestview has 22,742 residents. That's up from 2010's population of 20,978 and is a 42 percent leap from 2000's 14,766 residents.
Mayor David Cadle attributed the recent growth primarily to the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) cantonment south of town, which brought nearly 6,000 soldiers, support staff and their families to the area.
As the city diversifies its businesses, particularly at Bob Sikes Airport and through the city's Enterprise Zone, more growth can be expected, Cadle said. That will translate into more and better job opportunities and an increased tax base, he said.
"I'm very excited about the continued growth of Crestview, and I think we're going to see more of that to come as we expand our industrial base," Cadle said.
Crestview's growth far outpaced nearby communities on UF's list. The nearest was Pensacola at No. 51 with 52,202 residents. It saw a 7.7 percent population decline since 2000 and a 0.2 percent growth since 2010.
Panama City was at No. 73 with a population of 35,800. It had a 2.5 percent population decline since 2000 and 0.8 percent increase between 2010 and 2012.
No other city in Okaloosa, Walton or Santa Rosa County made the list.
But Crestview's growth brings growing pains.
Most noticeably, the evening commute from the south end of the county has increased in recent years. The traffic clogs feeder roads such as P.J. Adams Parkway and John King Road.
The city expanded its water and sewer systems in expectation of the 7th Special Forces' arrival. However, traffic remains a headache because the county or state controls the roads that need widening the most, officials say.
"The city's growth creates opportunities but it also creates challenges, and I think we have to be careful not to pursue growth simply for growth's sake," said Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles. "We want to make sure we are growing in a way that allows us to develop economically, but also allows us to preserve our unique quality of life.
"One important component of that is infrastructure. If we grow so fast that we can't maintain the necessary levels of service with our infrastructure, we won't be a very good place to live and we won't stay on that (UF) list very long."
Boyles cited plans for widening P.J. Adams and a P.J. Adams-Antioch Road bypass around Crestview's southwest corner as examples of the county's greater focus on the Crestview area.
"I think the job of equitably distributing the limited resources of the county is a challenging one," Boyles said. "I think having two commissioners from the north end of the county for the first time will help assure our area will get its fair share of those resources."

Mokuboji Temple, Uchigawa Inlet, Gozensaihata, No. 92 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
Two well-dressed ladies disembark from the boat by which they have traveled up the Sumida River into the inlet known as Uchigawa. Their destination is one of Edo's famous suburban restaurants, seen in the upper right. Located within the precincts of Mokuboji Temple, which lies out of sight to the right, it specialized in dishes of taro and clams and was much prized among stylish residents of Edo. The area to the left with pines was known as Gozensaihata, or "The Honorable Vegetable Garden." Beginning in the 1650s, fresh vegetables for the shogun's table were produced there. It is unclear, however, if that practice still continued in Hiroshige's day.
- Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando), Japanese, 1797-1858
- Medium: Woodblock print

- Catalogue Description: Two ladies are seen alighting from the boat in Uchigawa Inlet on their way to one of Edo's famous suburban restaurants, known as Uehan (named after the owner, Uekiya Han'emon) which specialized in taro and clams. The nearby Mokuboji Temple, not shown here, originated in the year 976 when a young boy (Umewaka) was kidnapped by a slave trader when he lost his way on the road near Kyoto and was brought here, where he finally died of sickness and exhaustion on the banks of the Sumida River. A wandering priest erected a mound in his memory, which grew into the shrine-temple complex of Mokuboji. The mound survives today and services in his memory are held each year on April 15. The area on the left by the pine trees was known as Gozensaihata, or "the honorable vegetable garden," which produced fresh vegetables for the shogun's table. This area was obliterated by bombing during World War II; both sides of the Sumida have been leveled and construction has begun to provide high-rise housing and emergency evacuation in case of flood or earthquake. Mokuboji was relocated to a site closer to the Sumida in the middle of what was once the mouth of the Uchigawa Inlet.

Advice & Support
Crying is your child's first way of
communicating. The amount of time your baby spends crying usually increases
from birth until your baby is about 6 weeks old, when your baby may cry between
1 and 5 hours out of 24. After 6 weeks of age, your baby will gradually cry
less as he or she finds other ways of communicating or consoling himself or
herself. However, some young children seem to cry for no obvious reason. About
1 in 5 children have daily crying spells of 15 minutes to an hour, often in the
Crying lets others know when a young child is hungry, wet,
tired, too warm, too cold, lonely, or in pain. If your child is crying, try to
identify the type of cry. It helps to go through a mental checklist of what
might be wrong—but remember that there may be nothing bothering your child—and
to make sure your child is safe and cared for. As parents or caregivers respond
to the young child's other signals (such as whimpering, facial expressions, and
wiggling), the child will usually cry less.
Parents and caregivers
become better over time at identifying the young child's cry. A young child
will often have different kinds of cries.
On rare
occasions, crying may point to a serious illness or injury. Crying caused by a
serious illness or injury usually lasts much longer than normal.
Crying can be very
frustrating for a parent or caregiver. Do not get angry at your child for
crying. Never shake or harm your child. Shaking a child in anger or playing
rough, such as throwing him or her into the air, can injure the brain.
Shaken baby syndrome needs to be reported to your
doctor. If you find that you are losing patience or are afraid that you may
hurt your child:
Certain medical
conditions can cause a young child to cry, such as
gastroesophageal reflux,
inguinal hernia, or
Children with genetic
conditions, such as cri du chat ("cat's cry") syndrome or phenylketonuria
(PKU), may have a different-sounding cry but one that
is normal for them.
Check your child's symptoms to decide if and when
your child should see a doctor.

I feel like Melvin has lived three lifetimes in his thirty years.
Guillard is just planting and looking to go yard, little too flat footed to be effective, but I suppose we'll see as the fight progresses.
Danzig's footwork on the other hand, looks like an unsteady newborn baby horse.
I am gonna try to stay up!
Melvin looks composed and sharp.
Nasty ko
Good for Melvin. Sorry kevo.
Those ending hammerfists were gnarly.
Danzig looked bad, just shaky and unsteady from the bell and if that was his gameplan, yeeeesh sooner or later he was getting put out. That said, wasn't too impressed with what Melvin was doing throughout the fight, didn't see too much to write home about other than his power; his mobility was quite static and he was eating needless legkicks, he just didn't seem to have his usual explosive approach.

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
10:10am Wednesday 6th April 2011

They were probably similar, all DD monsters, but the forms were given them by the people who made the clicks their own. The monster had to obey the magic of the clicks, too. What if they had only continued to make little educational filmstrips? Would there have been a monstrous living potter's wheel?
I don't consider the TFTDD to be a part of it. they were a side effect. They just took advantage of an opportunity that was presented. sure the fact of the click magic dictated their form, as it was that that gave them a portal to the disc, but they weren't a part OF that magic.
Are you saying that if the TFTDD hadn't been clustering waiting for a chance to get through, something else would have animated the larger-than-life figures on the screen? Possibly beings of pure glamour? That would be a very interesting concept, glamour itself as a monster. The original Hollywood glamour did wind up pretty much destroyed, after having destroyed quite a few people.
raptornx01 wrote: What she was saying, at least it seemed that way to me, was there may have been more then one part of the click magic. IE, the part giving people ideas, and the part that got released when the door finally opened, were two different things. both still click magic, but still two different "spirits of holy wood"
I read her question as asking about that, not stating that as a given. However, it does seem to me that there are two parts. The first part is the wild idea, which is independent of the TFTDD that come through later. The clicks themselves are not intrinsically bad as an idea; the problem was the connection to the energies hidden in Holy Wood.
More film allusions: Casablanca, enacted by Ruby and Detritus. Cartoons, enacted by the animals on the hillside. I'm not sure whether the duck is Daffy or Donald, but most likely it's early Donald because he was totally inarticulate at first. The cat and mouse remind me of Tom and Jerry.

"The evidence-based medicine practiced at Intermountain hospital in Utah trades doctor's intuition for protocols in three-ring binders. It also seems to be saving lives," says a recent article in The New York Times Magazine.
Read the full article online at: The New York Times Magazine: 'Making Health Care Better'
Because, according to reporter David Leonhardt, our name kept coming up in visits with experts across the country and even internationally. He gives examples like these:
Jack Wennberg, MD, a researcher at Dartmouth, told him: "It's the best model in the country of how you can actually change health care."
He shares the opinion of Anthony Staines, PhD, a health scholar and hospital regulator in Switzerland who studies the world's most admired hospitals. He noted that "Intermountain was really the only system where there was evidence of improvement in a majority of departments."
And finally, John Mendelsohn, MD, the president of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, who is offering an in-house version of Brent James's quality course, said: "Everybody is trying to systemically improve value and quality. But at Intermountain they have worked out the operational system and the culture to do it."
The article (published Sunday, Nov. 8) tells the engaging story of Brent's early life, his love of mathematics and the scientific method, and how it all led him to the work he is doing now. It shares the results we've achieved in our Clinical Programs and describes the collaboration with physicians that has been the catalyst in our search for evidence-based "best practices." It takes note of both what we've accomplished at Intermountain and where we hope to go-which Brent sums up by saying: "We're still not as good as we're going to be."
The article also shares the concerns of physicians and the point of view of skeptics who worry about substituting protocols for intuition. It puts everything in the context of our culture in Utah and at Intermountain-and finally, in the context of healthcare reform proposals in Washington.
Here's how The New York Times alerted readers to a story about healthcare reform and Intermountain:
"In The New York Times Magazine on Sunday, economics columnist David Leonhardt poses one of the more disturbing questions of the health care debate: If politicians cannot fix America's fragmented, ailing health care system, who will? Physicians have reshaped medicine in the past, Mr. Leonhardt argues, and a few—like Dr. Brent James, chief quality officer of Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City—already are leading the way to the future."

Yes, you really can have it all when it comes to your summer footwear! The Orthaheel Yara sandal is smart, chic, and knows how to keep things casual, all while affording your arches the uncompromising support they deserve. These shiny pewter flip-flops offer rubber treading aimed at preventing spills, and feature a structured midsole that is designed to absorb damaging impacts to your ankles and knees.
Orthaheel Features:
For the best long-term fit, we advocate wearing the footwear daily for only a few hours for 7-14 days; this will allow your feet time to adjust to the sandal's distinct internal shape.
Love these sparkly sandals! Comfortable beyond belief and they look good!
Love the look of this shoe and the footbed is very comfortable. My only complaint is that the metal piece rubs on my foot, the right worse than the left. That being said, I'm keeping the shoes and, if the rub doesn't go away, will figure out how to add some cushioning.
The only reason I gave them a 2 is because they run big and wide. I usually wear a size 6 and my foot was all over the place in these. Had to return. Very pretty.
I love these! They are so comfortable and want more in different colors!
I like this comfy summer shoe! So cute and not your typical orthopedic shoe. I am so pleased with Orthaheel. I had tendon surgery in December. I couldn't wear a sandal for more then a few hours and not be in pain. Now I can look good and feel good while being able to do some serious walking!
I love the style and colors! These are definitely a summer sandal must. You can really tell the difference between other brands as soon as you put them on. Personally, a little too wide.
From the moment you slip these on, you'll feel the difference from other thong-like sandals. They are very well constructed and the feel like they are cradling your feet. The foot pad is lightly surfaced with raised dots. They feel good and provide traction. A really lovely and stylish comfort sandal.
Love these. I have in 3 colors. Great comfort and super price for orthaheel.
I was crushed when my physician told me "you MUST wear orthoticly correct shoes, young lady!" This was the first pair I purchased and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only were they comfortable, but they are really cute, and not at all what I pictured as my "grandmother's shoes." Would love them in every color!

When it comes to supercharged applications, there's only one word that comes to mind: incredible. A well-tuned supercharging system provides unlimited fun at the stab of the throttle—and folks, that's simply stating the real-world facts. If there's any drawback, it's having the ability to restrain yourself from wide-open throttle blasts to only when it's appropriate.
Recently, we got the inside scoop on ProCharger's latest i-1 system, which is an industry-first programmable-ratio supercharger with monster efficiency for maximum power. What does it all mean? For starters, you can have robust torque down low, while still carrying the horsepower figures through the upper rpm. Factor in the efficient impeller design and you get big power with cooler inlet temperatures. Adding to the list of firsts, the ability to control multiple settings lies within a finger's reach. Yeah, ProCharger went there and it's flat-out amazing.
We were pretty happy to discuss and check out the new i-1 supercharger in person, but then we got to take it a step further and place a factory stock 2010 Chevy Camaro test vehicle onto their Mustang Dynamometer chassis dyno. You can forget the high-octane race fuel or E85 for glorified peak numbers; no, we're talking a real-world evaluation on pump gas for everyday driving. At the end of the pulls, we saw a gain of 187 hp and 158 lb-ft to the rear wheels with just 7.5 pounds of boost!
ProCharger has really taken supercharging to the next level, and we're willing to bet the end users will absolutely dig it. The entire package is priced at $8,495 (MSRP street price will be lower) and it's an investment that'll keep the adrenalin meter pinned with an ear-to-ear grin. Read on for the cool details.
SEMA Recognition
If you were at the SEMA 2013 show in Las Vegas, then you would have caught a sneak peek at the i-1 supercharger; this is where we first got a glimpse of the system and started planning our trip to test it firsthand. We weren't the only ones impressed, as SEMA presented ProCharger a New Products runner-up plaque—this is out of 300-plus entries.

What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell is a star on his high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned. But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his 30-something outlook is totally uncool in the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him.

NXT Olympic Record: World's Slowest 100-meter Dash
Complete with crowds, Olympic flame and fireworks.
The creator's description:
"The use of a single NXT limits the number of controlled motors to only three. In order to overcome this limitation, a special device ('Analogue Multi-Output Device') has been constructed. With this the simulated race is fully automated and no manual intervention is required.
The race takes place in steps and at a given time only one athlete is in move. Thus, don't expect that runners will complete the race in 10 seconds... this is a "slow motion" race."

This design is in the classic 'Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms' book. Nothing new.

The design in 'Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms' uses two motors. It sounds like this one is only using one?
- Aug 17, 2008, 4:32:00 AM
This design uses two motors just like the book. Notice how he says 'one NXT servo motor' and on the next screen 'one more NXT servo motor'.

What is your point? Still an intersting post.

Sorry, but never had the chance to read the above mentioned book.
