Product description
Among the few surviving archaeological sites from the medieval Christian kingdom of Nubia-located in present day Sudan-Qasr Ibrim is unique in a number of ways. It is the only site in Lower Nubia that remained above water after the completion of the Aswan high dam. In addition, thanks to the aridity of the climate in the area the site is marked by extraordinary preservation of organic material, especially textual material written on papyrus, leather, and paper. Particularly rich is the textual material from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries CE, written in Old Nubian, the region's indigenous language. As a result, Qasr Ibrim is probably the best documented ancient and medieval site in Africa outside of Egypt and North Africa. Medieval Nubia will be the first book to make available this remarkable material, much of which is still unpublished. The evidence discovered reveals a more complicated picture of this community than originally thought. Previously, scholars had thought medieval Nubia had existed in relative isolation from the rest of the world and had a primitive economy. Legal documents, accounts, and letters, however, reveal a complex, monetized economy with exchange rates connected to those of the wider world. Furthermore, they reveal public festive practices, in which lavish feasting and food gifts reinforced the social prestige of the participants. These documents show medieval Nubia to have been a society combining legal elements inherited from the Greco-Roman world with indigenous African social practices. In reconstructing the social and economic life of medieval Nubia based on the Old Nubian sources from the site, as well as other previously examined materials, Giovanni R. Ruffini will correct previous assumptions and produce a new picture of Nubia, one that connects it to the wider Mediterranean economy and society of its time.

Tufts back at No. 1 in NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Another 5-0 week returned defending national champion Tufts to the top spot in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III Top 25 softball rankings.
The (31-3) Jumbos earned all eight first-place votes to supplant last week's No. 1 team, Texas-Tyler (37-3), which dropped to second after failing to finish its sweep of a three-game series with Louisiana College. Tufts was last ranked No. 1 four weeks ago and has spent six of 11 weeks this season in the top spot, including the first four.
Idle Linfield (34-7) moved up two places to the No. 3 position, while Salisbury — the top-ranked team two weeks ago — is the new fourth-place team. Montclair State (34-4) slides one spot to No. 5 after a 4-2 week.
Christopher Newport (35-6) and Trine (33-2) are tied for sixth, East Texas Baptist (35-5) is eighth and Coe (33-6) remains ninth. Virginia Wesleyan (37-5) is the new No. 10 team after collecting an automatic NCAA bid for winning the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament title.
Wisconsin-Whitewater (27-8) returned to the rankings for the first time since April 9, while Thomas More (29-8) and Rochester (22-10) also joined the poll. Alfred, Anderson and Wisconsin-Oshkosh dropped out.
The NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll is selected by eight NCAA Division III head coaches representing the eight NCAA regions. Records as of Monday are listed, with first-place votes in parentheses.

Hi all! It's been a while since I've been around, and I just tried to read all of March's thread - took a LONG time (I'm supposed to be cleaning the house because we're having people over for dinner), but reading was way more interesting.
Congratulations to Birdie and Cristini!! It's so great to see people get BFP's. It gives me hope that mine will come someday (hopefully soon!!!).
TaxLady - I am really, really hoping that yours is the next BFP that I see
Tickletoes - We started acupuncture/herbs in January, so will let you know how it goes. DH has a low sperm count (well the volume is good, but the percentage of swimmers that are viable (alive) is low as well as the percentage of "rapid progressors"), and I have kind of low body temps, but seem to be ovulating normally. The acupuncturist said it would take about 3 months for everything to get on track and then probably another 1 - 3 months to conceive, all things being equal (I haven't had any tests done, so there could be something else amiss). We just got past the first 3 months, so DH has had another SA. Waiting on the results and hoping the herbs worked! I am getting impatient though, it all takes so much time.
I really better go start cleaning, but it was great reading all the posts, and I want to visit more regularly. It's nice to share with people going through the same things and I feel happy inside reading about you all, and that has to be good for you (well I'm not happy when any of you are sad, but hopefully that makes sense).
Boggles!!!! So good to have you back!
I told my DH about GSB and he just looked at me with this weird look. "Now I don't want to be pressured to have sex on a particular day....blah, blah, blah...we seem to have a nice rhythm going." I told him that I was happy but that I would probably tell him if there was a special significance of the day like EWCM. My dear husband got this weirded out look, like you aren't going to make me look at her cervical mucus are you? Again reassurance that wouldn't be the case.
Now about charting. Hum. newbie question on this..Taking your temperature? Do you use a normal thermometer? Do you check it orally or vaginally? I have read to do it at the same time every day to get the best overall prediction of cycle.
What about cervical position and "softness"? Any of you do this?
Then there is the cervical mucus? I have been on birth control pills so long I am not even sure I what to expect now that I am off of them and TTC.
Ah, off to bed I go.
Crafty Geeky lady (37, hypothyroid) married 7/2010 love of my life (42, azoospermia). I believe in MIRACLES! Twin boys born 12/21/13 at 40 weeks 2 days! 3/52 crafts in 2014 Ramsey's BS1: Done! 2/17/12 BS 2 goal: 6/7/17 no sperm initial DX 3/23/12 BFP 4/7/13!
Lilac - you are braver than me! I have never tried to explain EWCM other than to tell hubby that we have to DTD now...I hauled out my OPK strips yesterday, which are weirdly showing a pattern starting at CD3 and hubby said "no, you're not seeing things. I just don't know this is a chemical reaction" or something like that.
Caly how are things going with you?
Thinking baby dust to all of us who are ttc...
Hi BOGGLES!! Glad you're back. I'm impressed you caught up with the March thread. I miss a day or two and feel like I'll never catch up. I can't wait to hear if the herbs worked for your DH, which is our problem - the low counts. My natural chiropractor doctor said the low counts were probably due to him carrying his cell phone in his pocket next to the sperm production factory. I hope the next SA produces much better results... I would love to show the DH some proof that herbs WORK!! Thank you for your well wishes on being the next BFP. I hope so too.
Carla - To temp, most people use a BBT thermometer. You can buy one at the drug store, they are usually with the other "intercourse" items. I think I got mine at CVS for about $10. I temped orally, but I know some ladies set an alarm (so they do it at the same time every day) and do it vaginally. Then they don't have to worry about falling back to sleep and their mouth opening. When I saw my OBGYN, she was very happy that I had charts to show her, although, some OB's I've read don't know much about it at all. She even said, charts are good because there are so many people that don't have sex at the right time. I personally liked the OPK strips more, because those show when your ovulating, as temping shows you when you ovulated after the fact. But, it's the pattern from temping that's important. When I was able to do it throughout a month, the results helped me understand the whole process. Are you on Fertility Friend? I hope those more advanced SCIENTISTS on this thread will chime in too. I never really checked the position and softness, I couldn't really tell the difference, but I think if you do it all month, then you'll have a better time seeing the changes.
Northstar - I would say if they start getting a chemical reaction, it's time to start the BD BONANZA! I didn't tell the DH about EWBJ either, but I always let him know that the time was coming.
A note about EWBJ - I know some of you mention that you don't have a lot of the stuff. Well, I always thought I had had some.. until I started stimulating in treatment. WOW, I even think I mentioned that it was like I was back in my 20's. So writing on here I had a thought, that was when I was stimulating 20 eggs.. so I think if we're only doing one egg a month.. just a little would be normal or even not enough to really notice. According to the doctor a normal ovary is only about the size of the tip of your thumb, so I wouldn't be concerned if there's not much EWBJ.. I didn't have much before treatment, and we all know, my body was ready to let some eggs go. So don't be concerned, I think of that tiny egg.. I think if you have anything more than dryness - you've got the stuff to support some swimmers up there. I hope that helps.. you know.. my .
AFM - I just feel like I'm getting my . I don't feel like I'm pregnant and it makes me sad. I have until Thursday before I find out. UGH.. this is worse than any TWW I've ever been through. I don't think I can take a HPT... I had to take a trigger shot of HGC before I had retrieval, and that can give you false results (I've heard). I know I will be so sad if the news is negative, but they did send the 4 other embryos to the freezer. Only, the ones we used this time were the best ones.. still, I just feel like any other month when my . should be showing up today or tomorrow. Now, I'm on progesterone so that shouldn't happen. OH THURSDAY.. you'll be here before I know it but you're still so far away.
Have a good Sunday friends..
Carla - I've been testing the waters to see how much DH wants to know. I thought it would be good for him to get an idea of how everything works, but he quickly became disinterested which annoyed me. So I tried another tactic, dropping a fact or piece of knowledge every now and then, and he's definitely picking up those cues. Now I just say "I peed on an OPK and it was neg today" and he knows that that means "we're in fertile time but I haven't O'd yet." Have you seen the fertility charting course on fertility friend? I studied all that and learned how to chart, then decided I wouldn't do that until I feel the need. 50cent OPKs are fine for me for now. If I go a couple cycles with good timing and no BFP, I'll start temping and CM checking to see whether I'm really Oing (OPKs just show the LH surge, not actual confirmation of O).
Boggles! I am really curious...did YOU measure your man's taint? :) Good luck with the SA analysis.
Taxi - I'm so sorry you have to go through this agonizing TWW. Not even POAS to tide you over til Thursday. I can't wait to see that BFP post from you.
To the BD-BD ladies waiting to O, I wish you excesses of BJ, many of the "other" Os, and that we all catch our little eggies this week! I think I'm going to abstain from the drink and cut the coffee until a couple days after a + OPK.
Northstar - I wish I could offer advice, but I don't know so I'll just send e-hugs. Sounds pretty stressful. Do you have anything else going on recently? Diet change, hydration, stress at work or school or otherwise?
I'll have to see what tomorrow brings but thank you!
Carla - Husbands are so funny sometimes Mine doesn't want all the details either, although I've found that he is actually listening and absorbing what I say, even when I think he's paying zero attention, so I just keep mentioning stuff, and think he's getting a good idea of what's going on. TaxLady's temping info was good. It's definitely important to temp around the same time each day, before you get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes I'm a little later on the weekend, but I think I've been doing it so long now my body wakes me up at the same time to temp and then I go back to sleep if I don't need to get up. I have a thermometer that goes to 1 decimal place and it has a backlight, so I can check the temperature in the dark which I find useful (it also has a memory, so you can check what the latest temp was if you forget). I was a bit confused about the EWCM to start with, but after I tracked it for a couple of months I could definitely see a pattern which made it easier. Can't help with the cervix thing as I don't do that, I have read that it's helpful if you're not getting a clear picture from temp and EWCM.
Rosie - no, I didn't measure!! DH mostly goes along with all my BD/TTC ideas, but I think that one would have been pushing it!!
Northstar - I'm not sure what is happening for you, it doesn't sound fun. About 3 months after I stopped BCP I had kind of the same thing happen (but not as bad as you), and I thought it was my ovaries finally ovulating again. I felt sick and dizzy and had really, really bad mittelschmertz - but not stomach cramps. I was at work and had to lie down on the floor because it hurt so badly (luckily nobody was around). I wasn't doing OPKs at the time, so not sure about that. That lasted about a day, and then I was okay again. I hope you feel better soon.
Taxlady - thinking of you. I've read lots of people say that they thought they were getting their usual AF symptoms and they were actually pregnant, so fingers (and toes) crossed and lots of stickiness. Waiting is so hard, and in this case I think it must be even more so.
Hope you feel better. I have dealt with spring time dizziness every since a really bad sinus infection. Maybe you have some allergy symptoms going on that are causing your ears to swell and setting off vertigo? Just a thought. I know here in Michigan trees are just starting to drop pollen. I am kind of worried that my allergy pill to keep away from dizzy spells will negatively affect my CM because the allergy pill will dry up all mucus. I found a cool link to a drug website that is aimed to help people know what drugs can cause which harmful side effects or birth defects. http://www.drugwatch.com/
They had an alert about topamax (an epilepsy drug) that can cause cleft lips and cleft palates and other birth defects. Interesting stuff. I couldn't find my favorite allergy drug of choice (ChlorTrimeton 12 hour) so that was encouraging.
Hope you feel better Northstar. Dizziness and cramps are never good alone or in combination.
Crafty Geeky lady (37, hypothyroid) married 7/2010 love of my life (42, azoospermia). I believe in MIRACLES! Twin boys born 12/21/13 at 40 weeks 2 days! 3/52 crafts in 2014 Ramsey's BS1: Done! 2/17/12 BS 2 goal: 6/7/17 no sperm initial DX 3/23/12 BFP 4/7/13!
Aw, Northstar, sorry you're feeling so yucky! My cramps have been just awful since I went off of birth control, so I feel your pain (literally). I was on BC for 14 years (!!!) and had totally forgotten how awful cramps can be. I don't know what to make of your early O either, but to you! Hang in there!
Taxi, do I have to remind you that early pregnancy feels like PMS? I am hoping so hard for you this cycle! I know this must be a torturous 2WW. We're here for you! Also, it's reassuring to hear that having little to no EWBJ may be normal, since I'm one of those who never seems to have it, so thank you for mentioning that!
Lilac, the free course on the Fertility Friend website is a great way to learn about charting (as Rosie mentioned). I temped for seven cycles. I started off temping orally, but I tend to breathe through my mouth at night, so my temps were much more consistent when taken vaginally. OPKs turned out to be a very reliable predictor of O for me, so after several months of doing both, I decided to just use OPKs. Cervical mucus is not a good indicator of fertility for me (I don't seem to produce much), and I just never got a good feel for cervical position. I can differentiate between "low and hard" and "high and soft," but that's it.
Rosie, I was worried at first that DH wouldn't want to hear about the nitty-gritty details of female fertility, but it turned out he was really interested. I guess that shouldn't have been such a surprise. He's scientist through and through, and like you, he loves data, so the whole charting aspect really appeals to him.
The Bangin' Daily Bonanza has officially commenced in this household, so DH had a very nice weekend. No GSB for me yet - I pee on him, and get nothing but a blank circle in return. I expect he'll show up in a couple of days. The fact that DH is leaving for Alaska in a couple of weeks really hit me today. Thinking about it makes me want to cry, so I'm trying not to think about it too much.
Northstar, I asked my friend (with an elephant-like brain) when I had the "dizzies" last year, because I remember getting them (although less vertigo and more that black out feeling as if your head has been hanging upside-down for a minute). She said it was around April...which was the month after I went off BC. And yep, just like Caly I am now experiencing excruciating cramps. Never had a cramp that was more than a mild annoyance in my life before, and now they keep me awake all night. I'm SO sorry you're going through it. Sucky. Hopefully you'll get prego soon; seems like lotsa women are happy to be miserable with pg symptoms! ;)
Carla - Thanks for the drug site link, I think it'll be handy.
Caly - Yay for BDB! Catch that egg!
AFM - We are also starting out Bonanza week. Based on very little data I expect to O Wednesday, but could be tomorrow, who knows? I used preseed today, about 3/4 of an inch worth and man does that stuff do its job. I think I need even less. Weird thing is I didn't think I had a lot of CM going on. Maybe it was the good kind of AF (arousal fluid!). Question - do you guys avoid using spit completely during fertile time. From all I've read spit isn't sperm-friendly, but it's kind of part of the process most times. Should I try to avoid it? What say you ladies?
I'm thinking that instead of trying to be patient I'll just go ahead and use my ICs this month starting 10DPO. If I'm going to get excited about testing, I might as well not stress myself out trying to avoid it.
I know for sure I took at least six advil right around OPK+ last cycle.
Here's a list of the studies and their abstracts. http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/nsaids.html
Am I just learning what everybody else already knew?
Despite the silliness of three RosieL posts in a row, I return this morning to give a suckuppage data collection status report. Whereas yesterday succkuppage was negative (ghostrider), suckuppage this morning was complete. More data collection is necessary, and will continue throughout the Bangin' Daily Bonanza observation period. Additional observations from peers (YOU GUYS!) are welcome, as there is no such TMI in scientific endeavors!
Boots please move me to graduates! I heard my little ones super fast heartbeat today at my midwife appointment with a doppler. I was so excited I cried. I hope to hear some good news from Hykue today too!
Awesome vegan mom to wolverine 11/11 and sabertooth 11/13 and partner to a we also have
Tank - Yay for the heartbeat!! So happy for you.
Taxlady - Just wanted to send you some hugs , and lots of baby dust/sticky vibes /!
Hi to everyone else! I'm reading along, but don't have much time to post between work, keeping the house up (read: cleaning up after MIL... OMG, I cannot believe how dirty she can get a bathroom in three days... I think there was literally poo on the OUTSIDE of the toilet bowl), wedding/bridesmaid festivities, and just normal life stuff (are we the only ones that haven't done taxes yet... talk about procrastination!). Anywho, hope all is well with everyone.
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08
Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
I haven't got much time right now because hubby is waiting for me to help him with work outside again, but I wanted to come and share . . . Boots, I hope you really like moving people to graduates, because I saw a heartbeat today too! The doctor said everything looked good, and I got to see my little vole kick its little feet. I am so relieved and so pleased. Now I'm really starting to feel like this is happening and it's going to be okay.
I wish I had more time to reply right now, I have been reading along but didn't want to post my insecurities here. Just a couple of things:
Boggles, I'm so glad you're back. I've been hoping everything was going well for you.
Everyone leading up to O: have fun with the BD bonanza!
Taxlady: Just a few more days until your test date . . . my mental fingers are still crossed for you.
Everyone: Hugs! and more hugs! And now I finally feel safe enough to send extra baby dust your respective ways. Let the baby dust fallout commence.
Yeah, Tank and Hykue on hearing/seeing your baby's heart beat. So cool!
I had a great chat with a good friend of mine last night about babies and stuff. Made me feel so much more relaxed. Day 2 of no birth control pills. Still feels weird in the morning since it has been so much a part of my routine.
Hope everyone else had a good day!
Crafty Geeky lady (37, hypothyroid) married 7/2010 love of my life (42, azoospermia). I believe in MIRACLES! Twin boys born 12/21/13 at 40 weeks 2 days! 3/52 crafts in 2014 Ramsey's BS1: Done! 2/17/12 BS 2 goal: 6/7/17 no sperm initial DX 3/23/12 BFP 4/7/13!
Tank and Hykue, my heart is filled withfor you! What an exciting day for both of you!
Rosie, love the "Top Gun" reference. As far as suckuppage is concerned, I'd say there was little to none when we DTD on Saturday. We'll have another go at it tonight (we decided every other day would be sufficient until GSB shows his face), so I'll let you know what I observe.
I'm glad you're feeling relaxed about TTC, Lilac. and beginner's luck to you!
Not much going on here. It's CD14 and my OPKs are still negative. I don't usually O until CD16 or 17, so no surprise there.
Taxi, extra for you during this insufferable waiting period.
So, we got the SA results back and acupuncture/chinese herbs work! I'm not exactly surprised because I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't thought it would work, but I'm very impressed. I'm calling it acupuncture, but DH just had one acupuncture visit and then took herbs for 3 months.
Pre-acupuncture viability was 28%, post is 69%, normal is 50 - 100%.
Pre-acupuncture rapid progressors was 13%, post is 31%, normal is >= 25%.
Yay!!! So hopefully everything is fine with me and we will get lucky soon! Joining the BD Bonanza too as I think I will O Friday or Saturday.
Babydust to everyone and extra helpings to Caly
Wow, Boggles, those are amazing results! What herbs did he take? Welcome to the BD Bonanza (yeehaw!), and to you too!
Early childhood teacher, animal rescuer, guardian to 2 dogs and 2 cats.Our little kumquat Rose is here! Born 9/18!
Catheleni - That sounds like a super-good, solid "try"! Nice work!
Since everyone days hydration matters with OPKs and I drink untold quantities of water, I'm going to assume it's a + unless you ladies tell me otherwise (be honest!). We will keep BDing through the week since I'm not temping. Maybe through til AF comes?
Rosie - I'd call the top OPK an "almost positive," and expect tomorrow's to be darker. However, if tomorrow's is not darker, I'd assume that you caught the surge on the way up today. Regardless, I'd start BDing!! Good luck!

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 2/5/13
After their second straight last-place finish, the Minnesota Twins shook up their coaching staff. Manager Ron Gardenhire has returned in the final year of his current contract, but only pitching coach Rick Anderson is back in the same role as before. The Twins are counting on some fresh perspective and insight from the new assistants to help spark a turnaround from consecutive seasons of 99 and 96 losses. Two former players will have important jobs. Bench coach Terry Steinbach, a Minnesota native who finished his career with the Twins in 1999, will work closely with the catchers. Hitting coach Tom Brunansky, a member of the 1987 World Series championship team, will continue the relationships he's made with some of the younger players in the minor leagues the last few years.

41 year old woman | Melbourne, FL, USA | Seeking men 41-50 within 15 miles
If at first you don't succeed...try, try again!
Rejoining the dating world again and thought I'd give Match another try. I had a great experience last time and look forward to finding my true match. A little about me: I am an 8th grade Social Studies Teacher and I coach the dance team at the school. I enjoy going to the beach, running/walking the causeway, going to the movies, dancing, BBQ's, poker/game night with friends, or just hanging at home. And a variety of other things. I'm open to doing ALMOST anything at least once. I like to spend time with my family and friends. I try to do it as often as possible. It would be nice having someone to enjoy my time with. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I always try to have a good time no matter where I am. It's all about the company. I do have a 16 year old daughter so my match must be accepting of that. She is such a good kid and I feel incredibly blessed for that. Teaching as long as I have has made me realize just how lucky I am because I have SEEN the other side. I also love the fact that she is rooting for me to find my true match! In a relationship I will give you all that I have. I would describe myself as generous, caring, passionate, committed, trustworthy, and just down right a good person all around. I'm pretty positive my friends and family would agree with this. It's up to you to find out if you agree or not. I am looking for a man who might have similar qualities to me. But more importantly a man who knows how to treat a lady, use good manners, be respectful of everyone, and have a trustworthy and loyal soul. I am looking for a man who takes care of himself and wants to enjoy life with someone. Someone who wants to be loved and give love in return. I'm sure I can go on and on describing myself and my likes and telling you what I am looking for but it's just writing. Let's take what we read and if we like it then meet and decide if there might be a connection. What do we have to lose...but time?? Good luck in your search!!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Religion/Spiritual , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Horses
Middle of the Road
I love to get away from day to day life so anywhere but home is a great get away for me. Staying at a resort on the beach or traveling to a different state. It's all fun! I also love to just sit and relax with friends over a cup of coffee.
University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL
Ok, my favorites! Fav. color is yellow. Love shopping...does it matter where? I like to read Danille Steele books. My fav. shows include: Law and Order SVU, COPS, Dance Moms, and Lifetime movies. : ) My fav. music would be classic rock, country, pop
Almost anything I do I can make fun. I love to laugh and make other people laugh. I love to hang out with my friends either out on the town or just home watching a movie or having a BBQ. I love being a mom, too, so hanging with my daughter is fun.
I'm going to be downright honest here and tell you the last thing I read other than my Teacher Manual was the "Fifty Shades" trilogy. Yup, it was a great read.

I hadn't attended a Reds game since Riverfront days until the recent Dodgers series at home. Here's a few random observations of my first visit to Great American Ball Park..........
SEATS - Sat in 429 on Saturday, and 133 on Sunday. Both sections were great seats, excellent sightlines, and comfortable chairs. Seats were easy to find, and the ushers were helpful, but not pushy. I am a beefy guy, but the seats were sufficiently roomy and comfortable.
VIEWS - I can understand some of the criticism I've read about GABP in that you can (kinda) see downtown Cincinnati's skyline, and you can (kinda) see the River, but in most seats you can't see either one really great.
INTERIOR - Very roomy concourses, and plenty of food and beverage options. Restrooms were clean, and plentiful and Marty was on with PBP while you took care of things.
CONCESSIONS - I was really stoked about having my first Skyline coney, and was disappointed...it was basically a Vienna sausage on a bun with some chili and 2 lbs. of shredded cheese on top. I did, however, discover LaRosa's Pizza, and it was AMAZING ! I am hooked now. Also had UDF ice cream in a helmet, which I hadn't had since I was a kid. Beer was pricey but I know that's not exclusive to GABP.
AESTHETICS - Good, but not great.....lots of plain concrete and white steel. More brick would have been nice, and given the place a less generic vibe. Crosley Terrace is a nice, Reds-y touch, but the main gate entrance on Joe Nuxhall Way was less than overwhelming. I have mixed feelings about the Powerstacks - on one hand, kind of kitschy and hokey, but I still loved it when the fireworks went off after a Redlegs home run.
MISCELLANY - The scoreboard was impressive. FanZone was not - just some assorted wii games. WTH ? I didn't have a chance to visit the Reds HOF, but I will next trip. And, both days, I never once saw Rosie, Mr. Red, Mr. Redlegs, or Gapper. None of them ! and I wanted to get pictures.
I'll give it a grade of B for now (until I visit what is claimed to be the best park in MLB, Pittsburgh's PNC Park). Once the game starts, it's great, but I guess the main gripe is the exterior is rather bland, and they didn't really make full use of either the downtown view or the River view.
BTW....you know how we're 12-2 in the last 14 games ? The (2) is the two games I attended.

Unexpected elements like putting greens, water features, and an over-scaled chess game (seriously) make an unforgettable impression.
8 Natural Ways to Kill Weeds
The Fantasy: A closet illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier.
The Reality: You don't have to live with the "boob light" that came with your closet. Instead, swap it out with a pendant light that has a slight drop. Or, yes, a (smaller) chandelier. You'll be able to see your clothing better, without the haunting glow of fluorescent lighting.
The Fantasy: A large, open dressing room that adjoins your bathroom.
The Reality: This is the kind of feature only a renovation can bring. But, you can channel the glamorous feel of this room by bringing in a tufted bench or ottoman to your bedroom. It provides a lovely place to change.

Hi, my name's Jeffrey Hart and I was a junior high wrestler. I followed in my father's footsteps and did not wrestle in high school.
I spent two years of college in the Physician Assistant program and in favor of focusing my efforts on studying, I didn't wrestle in college either. I would like to get back into wrestling for the conditioning and discipline aspects and just because I never did all I wanted to do in the sport and wondered if wrestling--freestyle or Greco-Roman--existed outside of the college or high school arena. Where do Olympians train at? I take it that after your four years of college, unless you go to the Olympics or coach or find the odd open tournament, you're pretty much done.
I'm twenty-one and will probably go back to school at some point, but I wondered if there was anything to do in the meantime. I live in central Pennsylvania and the nearest good MMA gym is at least a two-hour drive away.

This February, Matignon and Arlington High School had an amazing opportunity to visit one of the worldâ's most beautiful cities, London, England! Not only did we have so much fun, we also learned a great deal of British history. We saw many famous sights throughout London, took many incredible excursions, ate at culturally diverse restaurants, and saw three spectacular theatre productions. I have always had an obsession with London and seeing these places and hearing the history was very exciting. Seeing the famous sites that I have only seen in movies and books was surreal. None of us could stop snapping pictures. Big Ben, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and Tower Bridge were larger than life. We also visited Kensington Palace where Princess Diana lived, the Tower of London which houses the crowned jewels, Saint Paulâ's Cathedral, Prince Albert Memorial, and Trafalgar Square. Besides its famous lions and Lord Nelsonâ's column, Trafalgar Square has a statute of George Washington. I found it interesting that because George Washington had vowed to never step on English soil again, the statute was placed on soil shipped from Mount Vernon in order to honor his wish. We also visited the British Museum that houses the Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering hieroglyphics, as well as the Tate Modern containing many unique pieces of modern art. And of course we shopped at Harrods, one of the largest department stores in the world! Harrods has everything from top designers to a spectacular food emporium carrying everything from fresh meats and seafood to fine teas, chocolates, and desserts. Our trip would not have been complete without a ride on the London Eye, a huge ferris wheel-like structure with glass observation rooms and an incredible view of London. Even learning how to navigate through the London Tube (subway) system was fun as there were constant reminders to âœmind the gapâ" between the train and the platform. That phrase is so popular that some of us even purchased âœmind the gapâ" tee shirts. *Excursions* Our motor coach excursions out of London took us to Windsor Castle where the Queen resides when she is not at Buckingham Palace. I saw someone walking a corgi on the castle grounds. Who knows, it might have been the Queenâ's royal pooch. We also visited the mysterious, 5,000 year old Stonehenge. Although no one knows for sure, some believe that it may have been a religious temple, an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground. Along with Stonehenge, we explored Bath, a beautiful city dating back to the first century AD when it was built by the Romans. The Romans built baths using the only thermal springs that exist in the UK. Stratford Upon-Avon was yet another charming town. We visited William Shakespeareâ's home and the cottage of his wife, Anne Hathaway. One of my favorite places we toured was Oxford University, one of the oldest universities in the world. Did you know that you could earn an undergraduate degree at Oxford in only 3 years? Thereafter, you can obtain your Masterâ's by just paying a fee of about $50 a year! What a great deal if you are lucky enough to get in. Among its famous graduates are Bill Clinton and C. S. Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia. The benefit to having tour guides is that you learn the history behind all the places you visit. I will never forget the story of King Henry VIIIâ's six wives and what happened to them with the trick our tour guide taught us; divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. I have been studying medieval history and Shakespeare this year and it was really cool to connect what I have learned to places that I have seen. We also learned some cool fun facts. Have you ever heard the expression âœsaved by the bellâ"? Well, it originated hundreds of years ago when people were accidentally buried alive. To solve the problem, a string would be tied to the finger of the deceased. A bell would be on the end above ground and if the person was still alive, he/she would move their finger and be well, saved by the bell. If you are a Harry Potter fan like I am, you would have enjoyed walking over Millennium Bridge that was destroyed by death eaters in the fifth movie, seeing the front of the building that was used as Gringotts Bank, and seeing the building in Oxford where the famous Great Hall dining scenes were filmed. Each night we dined at different restaurants. We were exposed to many different cuisines from Turkish to French to traditional English food like fish and chips. We even ate at a restaurant called Wagamama, which serves noodles and other Asian food. The only ones in the United States are found right here in Massachusetts. Some of us just could not resist a burger at the world famous original Hard Rock Café. Although some of us were a bit picky, it was cool to try new types of food from all over the world. *Theatre* One of the major highlights of our trip was going to the theatre. We saw three amazing plays: Sister Act, The 39 Steps, and Wicked. They were definitely very memorable, and we all really enjoyed them. We also had a tour of the Theatre Royal at Drury Lane, the oldest theatre in the world and were the Queen attends plays. Apparently, the theatre is haunted and several people claim that they have seen a ghost walking through one of the walls. When the wall was torn open a few years ago, a manâ's skeleton was found inside. To complete our theatre education, we attended a workshop at Shakespeareâ's Globe Theatre. There we learned about plays during the time of Shakespeare. *Appreciation* One of the nice things about school trips is that everyone really gets a chance to know each other better and make new friends. Our chaperones, including Mrs. Dâ'Angelo, Ms. Foley, and Ms. Rad were really great. I especially want to thank Ms. Rad for putting this fun and educational trip together. It was nice spending time with everyone in a non-school setting. Overall, I think I speak for my classmates when I say that we all had a blast in London. It was an amazing experience and I wish we could do it all over again. Article written by Julia Capano (Class of 2013)

Sometimes you may wonder when you read a book if it is all true or if parts of it are embellished for entertainment.
My first acknowledgment is that The Train Whistle; Sounding the Call of God's Love is completely based on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
My goal is not motivated by fame or fortune, and this book has never been about self-gratification; I have knowledge of Jesus Christ to share.
I believe this book is blessed by God.
However, I do not want to give the impression that I have arrived in my knowledge or that I exist in some fantasy life filled with perfection.
Quite the opposite, really—but I am learning step by step how to live my life more fully nearer to God; and spiritually I learn with each mistake I make.
I am forgiven and well loved by God and so are you! But do you believe?
The Train Whistle is meant to encourage you to put aside your doubt, seek the truth, and just believe to find your faith. What lies could be holding you down and keeping you contained in a place that you do not belong?
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen"

In response to CliffordWasHere's comment:
Ask Z what name I called him. $100 he can't even name the name. It's because I never called him a name.
Let me ask you this: If you report someone once, is that the limit, or can you report every post they make (even if it's not in violation)?
Ummm. I dont know. Ive never reported anybody
maybe you should ask Jints. He's the expert in abuse filings around here...

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 10/26/12
Lethal weapons produce the most impact. Some of the impact is noticeable. Other times the impact is subtle but just as forceful. While the most lethal weapons in the NFL need a little help from their friends, they are pretty darn great all by themselves. Whether they sling the ball, run the ball, kick the ball or strip the ball, all the action is hardly every met by an opposite or equal reaction. They are that good.These players excel on the football field. They also are valued members of our fantasy teams. Their teams would be worse without them. And all die-hard fantasy players either imagine how better our team would be with them. Or pat ourselves on our backs for our excellent drafting skills.Either way they make an impact on us and the game.

text: World Cafe Weeknights, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight From live in-studio performances and interviews with top musicians to new and undiscovered artists from around the globe –World Cafe is the place to hear contemporary popular music! Sugar Tongue Slim On World Cafe By editor • May 22, 2015 World Cafe's Sense Of Place: Philadelphia series is a perfect opportunity to feature the work of local rapper Sugar Tongue Slim, or S.T.S. He's just released S.T.S. X RJD2, a collaboration with the Philly DJ; it's a high point for both artists. West Philadelphia Orchestra On World Cafe By editor • May 22, 2015 We've got something quite different as our Sense of Place: Philly series continues. Philadelphia has a brass band called The West Philadelphia Orchestra. They specialize in Balkan music, and as they were rehearsing a number of years ago, a singer was passing by who knew the music they were playing from growing up — and she joined the band. Petia Zamfirova will be the first to say this eclectic group is not just about backing her singing. We'll find out how this band grew here, hear about their selection in the All Songs Considered Tiny Desk Concert contest and more. Liz Longley On World Cafe By editor • May 21, 2015 The latest installment in World Cafe's Sense Of Place: Philadelphia series features singer-songwriter Liz Longley. Now based in Nashville, she got her start in the Philly suburbs. Longley played in local clubs before moving to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music. Her musical travels led her to Nashville, where she used a Kickstarter campaign to make the album she always wanted. The Golden Age Of Philly Soul On World Cafe By editor • May 21, 2015 Philadelphia is experiencing an exciting wave of young rock acts, but it's almost certainly never going to top the impact of Philadelphia International Records and the work of Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell in the 1970s. Dr. Dog On World Cafe By editor • May 20, 2015 World Cafe's Sense Of Place: Philadelphia series had to include Dr. Dog. The band formed in 2001 in West Philadelphia, built around the writing skills of Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken. Hop Along On World Cafe By editor • May 19, 2015 The Philadelphia band Hop Along started out with a folk sound back in 2004, when singer-songwriter Frances Quinlan began recording during her senior year of high school. Hop Along took on more of a rock edge in 2008 with the addition of her brother on drums; the group later added bassist Tyler Long and guitarist Joe Reinhardt. The Districts On World Cafe By editor • May 19, 2015 Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus and Braden Lawrence formed The Districts in 2009, while they were still in high school; they released their debut album in 2012 and moved from Lititz, Penn., to Philly shortly thereafter. World Cafe Next: Cayetana By editor • May 18, 2015 The three women who form Cayetana — Kelly Olsen, Allegra Anka and Augusta Koch — made a thrilling debut last year with Nervous Like Me. They're a big part of why Philly's homegrown rock scene has gotten so much attention lately.
