I'm interested to see what others say.
What I have done, is learn the tests that are run, what levels are normal, what levels cause concern and what to do then. There will be no more, "You're BP is a little high." I want to know the number, not a little high.
We also have a plan and a dr that is commited to it. I think that makes a big difference. I know from the past, that she isn't the kind of Dr that thinks they are always right. She will get 2nd or 3rd opinions and seek other information. She also isn't against me bringing her recent research or suggestions.
Good luck in finding a dr that will be that open with you!

Surry Community College student Nazzel Bell was awarded the North Carolina Association for Developmental Education's (NCADE) Outstanding Alumnus of the Year for 2012 on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
Nazzel was chosen based on his accomplishments both in the classroom and in the community. An award winner must be a former student of a program associated with NCADE and based on the student's academic record, a source of pride for the program. Nazzel was invited to speak to Association members at the North Carolina Community College System Conference in Raleigh earlier this month. He received a plaque and an honorarium.
In his speech, Nazzel highlighted his academic experiences which helped him become a successful student. He also credited Surry Community College and all the conscientious instructors with providing him the support he needed to achieve success. Nazzel was accompanied by his wife and one of his three sons. He and his family live in Mount Airy.
Nazzel is currently finishing both an associate in science and an associate in arts degree at Surry. His goal is to transfer to North Carolina State University in the spring to pursue a bachelor of science in engineering.

The Anytime Fitness club in Glenwood has undergone a major renovation over the last few months and will showcase its new look with a grand re-opening celebration on Thursday, Dec. 11.
Glenwood-area residents once again have a local hardware store to go to for those fix-it-up and lawn and garden projects around the house.
Garden Treasures Home and Hardware, located just south of the city limits at 22309 221 St., opened for business Tuesday, April 1. The store is an affiliate of the nationally-known Hardware Hank line of products.
Employees at a Glenwood insurance agency are getting settled at their spacious new location. In July, Accurate Insurance relocated its offices from the north side of Town Square to a new building at 508 S. Locust St.
Two staff members from The Opinion-Tribune newspaper have been recognized with journalism awards from the Omaha Press Club and Landmark Community Newspapers for work published during the 2010 calendar year.
Editor Joe Foreman and associate editor Joel Stevens were named winners of four awards earlier this month in the Omaha Press Club's annual "Excellence In Journalism Competition." They received three first-place awards and one second place award from the OPC.
Beginning Saturday, Feb. 26, residents of southwest Iowa - including Glenwood, Mineola, Silver City, Council Bluffs and four other communities that enjoy having unlimited local calling to the Omaha metro area - will have to dial the three-digit area code plus the seven-digit telephone number to complete their call.
If you're going to open a winery in Glenwood, it seems appropriate to locate on Vine Street.
That's exactly what Jim Gapinski, Ralph Ahsam, Doug Grave and Dennis Adams are doing. Next spring, the four entrepreneurs plan to open the Vine Street Cellars winery in the former Anderson Auto Parts building at 17 N. Vine St.
Cohron Ready Mix plant has competed a $1.5 million "ground up" re-build of its Glenwood plant.
The Glenwood plant, located along Vine Street and Railroad Avenue, opened in 1972. This is the first major overhaul at the plant since that original opening, said Steve McCracken, general manager of Cohron Ready Mix.
"It's a completely new facility," said McCracken.
Dr. Mike Kenkel and his staff at Kenkel Family Chiropractic have moved into their new home at 407 Sharp St., on the south side of Glenwood Town Square.
Kenkel, a Denison native, opened his new office on Jan. 5, three years and a one day after bringing his practice to Glenwood.
"When I came to Glenwood, my goal was to move into a new location within three years," Kenkel said. "I opened on Jan. 4, 2006, and we moved in here on Jan. 5. It's been our patients that have made this possible. They've been very supportive."
Tom Collinson was recently named the new store manager at Glenwood Firestone.
Collinson comes to Firestone with 24 years of experience in the automotive industry. He is currently a resident of Council Bluffs, but has worked and lived in Alaska.
Collinson is an active member of his church, serving as both an elder and praise team leader. He is a six-season member of the Southwest Iowa Men's Chorus. He and his wife share five children and five grandchildren.

If you go to Google Video, you can get a code that allows you to embed a video into your site. Although Google doesn't mention that, the Flash player used by Google Video (googleplayer.swf) lets you customize many parameters. In the code obtained from Google, you'll see in the src attribute: http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=[number]&hl=en. You can add more parameters to the player, not just docId and hl. Here are some of the more interesting.
* playerMode lets you change the skin of the player.
playerMode=simple (a basic version of the player without progress bar and volume control, you can see it in the screenshot below)
playerMode=mini (even more basic)
playerMode=clickToPlay (the skin used for video ads)
playerMode=embedded (the standard skin)
* autoPlay lets you control if the video starts automatically.
autoPlay=false (by default)
* loop lets you repeat a video indefinitely.
loop=false (by default)
* showShareButtons is useful if you want to add a button at the end of the video that says "Send link to a friend".
showShareButtons=false (by default)
So here's one of example of customized player, that repeats a video and shows a simplified skin:

They have a hairball version, and I buy it, but I'm not sure how much good it does. Whitey is the world's worst furballer. BUT he has long, thick fur, and he cleans himself all the time, so I guess expecting him not to leave me little presents would be unrealistic.
Elouise is an axolotl, which is a salamander, which is an amphibian. She will stay in the larval stage her entire life, so she will always be aquatic and never have a land form. It's kind of like if a frog always stayed a tadpole.
Boys have obvious testicles.
Percival is definitely a Siamese mix (Snowshoe is just a half Siamese, half domestic shorthair). It probably has a lot to do with his insanity.
If you are willing to spend a little bit more (don't get me wrong, if your cat tolerates corn Authority it is a really good, reasonably priced food) Blue Buffalo is a really good food to try. My boys are on their grain free Freedom formula and are crazy soft. My old lady cat Piper (who I had to euthanize a year ago) did really really well on Blue Buffalo. She was corn intolerant and had a sensitive tummy, and never threw up on Blue. The Blue Buffalo Multi-cat formula is probably a good starting place. (It is more modest in fat and protein while having more fiber to help those hairballs pass more easily.)
Here's pics of my two babies, hope they will come thru. The black/white one I picked up from Paws. They had named her Babe, but I changed it to Little One as she was (and still is) a tiny thing. Out of all the cats that they had at the pound, once we looked each other in the eyes, I knew she was the one for me! She is the most gentle cat I've ever had. I think she's obsessed with me, tho, as she follows me with her eyes where ever I go and if I leave the room she will sit with her ears perked up and listen to what I am doing (so I've been told by people who have seen it). The orange one's name is Tara but I call her Pretty Girl. I got her from my Godchildren. They had her for about a year before they realized that their dog, who they had for a couple of years before Tara, was allergic to the cat and they decided to give her to me. She's been a bundle of joy. She's the one I had to take in for emergency surgery a couple of years back. Almost lost her. Since then she has had a personality change (of sorts) and is much more affectionate towards me. Before, it was more like- well, if I want you to pet em or hold me, I'll let you without too much fuss. Now, it's more like- yeah, ok, hold me now, let me lay in your lap, touch me. Don't know what I'd do without either one.Attachment 16513Attachment 16514
...Oh, you SO had to know that was open season for me!...So ... I need to see some fuzzy pictures, people.
...now that THAT'S out of my system....nothin' right at hand on the crew...but three pooches Bailey(half-shih-tzu and half cocker), Ziva(poodle/yorkie(porkie?) and Sissy(all miniature Yorkie-and I'm her favorite!-go figure)...and one posessed cat named Sasha(or Salsa, as my grandbaby calls her)....
Here are my two kitties, Jinx is the black one and Felix is the other.

Here is our Dusty.

I don't have any pictures of Harry, the escaping snake, but he is growing! Just shed for the 3rd time on Friday.
Meanwhile, using Paint I made my younger cat Bailey 50% smaller so maybe this will work now
(Ooops - did not work) Anyway I found a picture online that is very much like Bailey so here it is:
Of course MY cat is much cuter (naturally)

The Argentine striker has scored nine goals in Serie A this season, with Inter Milan the latest club said to be keen on signing him this summer.
Napoli, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham are also rumoured to have wanted to bring in Icardi.
City boss Roberto Mancini recently saw the striker in action on a return visit to his old club, who fended off his suitors during the recent transfer window.
"Icardi is doing very well, but at the moment no club has come forward for him," declared Sampdoria sporting director Carlo Osti.
"He has a contract with us until June 2015, so there is still time to evaluate everything, including the possibility to extend the agreement. We'll see."

More than a woman: Edie Recker educates community on transgender issuesWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
When someone dies, there's usually a grieving process. For Edie Lanning Recker, death was liberating. During the Christmas season, her church congregation placed poinsettias on the altar in memory of someone they had lost. Recker brought one forward in memory of Edmund Charles Recker, the name she once went by before becoming a woman.
"Only two people in the whole church knew what that was all about," Recker said.
Edmund was gone.
When Edmund met Edie
Recker is a male-to-female transgender, driven to educate the masses and stand up for her community. But it took her 60 years to get to where she is now.
"When I was created, my brain was born first and it was born as female, then the chromosomes kicked in and I became a male body," Recker said.
Growing up in the country, Recker faced gender roles imposed by her parents and teachers.
She remembers being caught trying on her mother's church clothes in the upstairs bathroom when she was a child.
"You are always told, 'No, boys don't do that.' You're forced to be something that you're really not," Recker said.
During the process of getting a third divorce, Recker began cross-dressing, an act she used to do in private.
"I thought it was more of a sexual thing, maybe a little bit of a perversion," Recker said. "It was becoming to the point where I felt more human, more complete, being dressed that way."
The cross-dressing led her to research how to apply makeup. She stumbled across a therapist from Connecticut she would Skype with.
"I came to find out that my desires weren't just a perversion … I was truly a transgender," Recker said. "I needed to transition to feel complete, to feel whole."
At the age of 60, Recker began to transition from a male to a female. It took a while to rationalize and understand what was happening. Now, she wishes she would've realized it sooner.
"When everybody said 'Why did you wait so long?' it's because I didn't know," Recker said. "I knew there was something different but I didn't know exactly what."
Recker said she tried to participate in her three marriages as a male when her thought processes were female. That's why they were not successful.
"I was trying to override that and be the male part of it, so there was a lot of conflict," Recker said. "I wasn't happy. I'd never been happy and now I am. I don't think I ever was happy. I don't think I ever knew what love was. I wasn't happy with myself. I wasn't content because I was fighting inner and outer. Now I don't do that. Now I'm content with me."
Recker is interested in women and wishes to marry again. She has met someone and thinks she is figuring out what love is.
"And it scares me," Recker said. "To have an intimate relationship scares me. Yeah, I've been with women all my life, but this is going to be altogether different."
Recker said she is a "64-year-old virgin."
"There's a lot of struggles like that that we go through that a lot of people don't understand," she said. "Some of them, I didn't even realize."
Recker puts her faith in God.
"If it's meant to be, it'll be, and that's not meant for me to decide," Recker said. "I only live this life."
Recker said, "God doesn't make mistakes."
"God has had a plan for me before my mom and dad even thought about me," she said. "When I was conceived, my destiny was already set. I don't think he made a mistake."
The day Ed was gone
A lot of things changed once Recker began her transition.
The transformation took roughly three years. Recker said she was lucky enough to have the money to do it in a shorter-than-average amount of time. She acquired a new name, driver's license, Social Security number, title for her car and more. Being a business owner, Recker had to change all business accounts too.
"I was no longer Ed," she said.
Recker remembers the first headline she read about a transgender 30 years ago.
"I laughed. Why would anyone want to do that?" she said.
Transgender Day of Remembrance
Recker said she is very open about her transition, more open than most in the community. She welcomes curiosity from people sitting next to her at a bar.
"There hasn't been a question I haven't been asked," Recker said. "That's how I educate."
She frequents Quarters Bar & Grill in Perrysburg, a place she where she feels safe.
"[The owner] came up to me and said, 'When you're in here, we have your back.' That's great, but what happens when I walk out the front door? What happens with the group that's in here that gets bottle brave and waits for me as I walk out?" Recker said.
Toledo Area Transgender Support will sponsor the Transgender Day of Remembrance on Nov. 20, recognizing transgenders who have been killed worldwide in the past year. Recker will find names of the deceased on the internet. At the event, the names will be read and details on how they were killed will be given.
"I want people to realize the brutality that we go through," Recker said. "People need to know that this is actually going on. This year is not in vain. These people have made a difference."
The event will be at at 7 p.m. on Nov. 20 at Sylvania United Church of Christ (UCC), 7240 Erie Street. The event will include a recognition reading, speakers, a memorial service and a time of fellowship.
Sylvania UCC has been supportive of Recker's transformation. A new senior pastor, Sam Buehrer, took over in January and allowed Recker to be re-baptized as Edie, even though she previously been baptized as Edmund. People of the church often believe once you are baptized, the soul is, and you cannot be again; even though Recker's name and body changed, her soul didn't.
Edie disagrees.
"I am a totally different person," Recker said. "[My baptism] was probably one of the greatest days of my life because now I'm starting to become the person I've always wanted to be, always thought I could be or didn't understand that I could be. Now I feel whole. My whole Iife, I've grown up as a Christian but it came to a point where it basically went stagnant, it stood still, and now it's moved on again."

The St. Louis Tan Company opened its doors in February of 1994. St. Louis native Todd Beckman started his career with two average sized salons which experienced rapid growth allowing Mr. Beckman to introduce the first superstore concept in November of that same year. Providing multiple levels of tanning at an affordable price proved to be an instant success for the tanning industry. The reaction to this new and innovative tanning concept resulted in record sales and continued growth. The brand quickly evolved and expanded outside of the St. Louis market, and Mr. Beckman decided to rethink The St. Louis Tan Company name to better suit his expanding brand. The decision was made to rename the franchise The TAN Company®. Throughout all this existing growth, one thing has not changed -- Todd Beckman's passion and dedication to providing our guests with "5 Star" tanning facilities, world-class skin care products and the cleanest tanning environment in the country.

Go for the gold.
All-mountain shredding is the name of the game when you're strapped into
the Rome Women's Gold Snowboard. This highly versatile freestyle shred
stick features an almost twin shape, meaning it's centered between the
contact points but has a slightly longer nose to aid in powder
floatation. Its MtnPop Rocker profile is the most versatile Rome's
line-up with rocker underfoot for a loose playful feel in the park, plus
the ability to plane through deep snow without submerging your nose.
Camber extends to the tip and tail contacts for added grip when you're
carving and extra snap off big kickers.
Loaded with a SuperPop Core, the Gold delivers plenty of boost for ollies and flying off jumps, thanks to its long poplar wood segments and three separate zones of low-density wood. Adding even more pop, the HotRods-Carbon Single Barrel and Z-Tech 1.0 infuse spring-loaded pop without adding too much torsional stiffness. In fact, Z-Tech 1.0 uses Zylon, a material that's even lighter and poppier than carbon, down the board's centerline for next-level response. Add in an ice-gripping QuickRip sidecut and super-fast SinterSpeed base for all-mountain freestyle performance that makes no compromises, whether you're straight-lining big booters or slashing through a foot of fresh.
- Almost twin (centered between contacts, slightly longer nose)
- MtnPop Rocker (rocker underfoot, camber extending to tip, tail)
- SuperPop Core Matrix
- StraightTriax 30 laminates
- HotRods-Carbon Single Barrel

This is one of the most fun boards I've ever ridden. The rocker-camber shape offers a ton of float in the powder, and also allows it to turn on a dime.

Science Matters
About this Issue
EPA innovation advances chemical safety and sustainability
Chemical safety is a major priority at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It's also a formidable challenge: more than 80,000 chemicals are currently listed or registered under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and hundreds of new chemicals are introduced into the marketplace every year.
Adding to this challenge is the fact that TSCA does not require many of the chemicals in use today to be thoroughly assessed for their potential risks to human health, wildlife, and the environment.
EPA researchers are working to meet this challenge. They and their partners from across academia, industry, and other federal agencies are harnessing advances in toxicology, systems and molecular biology, mathematical and computer science, robotics, chemistry, exposure science, and computer technology to usher in a new generation of chemical testing and screening methods that are faster, more efficient, and far less costly than traditional methods.
As highlighted in this issue of EPA's Science Matters, EPA researchers are developing innovative, new approaches and technologies to advance a better understanding of chemicals and maximize chemical safety and sustainability.
Examples illustrate such efforts as ToxCast, ExpoCast, and the Tox21 federal partnership, which collectively are developing automated, rapid methods to predict chemical risks. Already, EPA researchers used ToxCast in an initial, "proof of concept" phase to replicate toxicity testing collected over 30 years at a cost of some $2 billion dollars in four years for $6 million.
From exploring the potential risks from emerging substances such as tiny nanomaterials, to quickly addressing pressing concerns such as potential PCB exposures in the nation's schools, EPA chemical safety researchers provide the science and information the Agency and the nation need to assure the safety of chemicals.
What they and their partners are learning and developing are meeting today's challenges while advancing the path to the future – a future where not only do decision makers have the information they need to manage risks, but chemical engineers and others have the tools and data they need to minimize waste and hazards along the entire chemical life cycle, from inception to disposal. That future has already begun, and at EPA, it all starts with science.

I'm ticked because there's talk that supervisors might have to stay on late shift rotation...there goes all my free weeknight time with my daughters. How can people claim to be both pro-corporation and pro-family values at the same time?
I have a coldsore forming and it's already extremely painful...hopefully it doesn't explode all over my face, as is usual! On the plus side I have realised it is finally winter and I need to wrap up warm, so I've just done plenty of online shopping for some nice chunky jumpers and cardigans. I can't wait for them to arrive, the best part of winter is all the nice snuggly coats, clothes, boots, scarfs, gloves and hats. Happy sigh.
My small town is crappy and doesn't have a scent music store. I can't get one of my favorite band's new album until Friday at the earliest (it came out Tuesday). Petty? Yes, very. Should I have pre-ordered? Hell yeah.
...I have a bashed broken & bloody dead deer by my front porch, and I ain't allowed to hunt down brain dead jackasses and just beat the ever livin' stuffin' out of 'em.
Oh I'm not mad about a runned over Bambi, not on my road, 'cause venison, it happens.
No, what I ain't real happy about, is that whomever hit it, they thought it a good idea to drag it nearer to my house, right next to my van and outdoor kitchen/dining area going by the drag marks in the gravels, but that ain't where I found it.
Ya know there's a funny thing about runned over dead deers, sometimes, they really ain't, and this one, it wasn't, at least not quite.
But I'ma here to tells ya 's, before it goes to the great romping forest in the sky, a woke up "dead" deer sure is capable of causin' not just a bit of damage, like a crashed in quarter panel on a van, a shattered all to hell glass patio table plus one bent up folding chair, and one flattened snazzy brass garden fountain, and I don't want to bore anyone with what looks like could be something out of a Jackson Pollock donate to the Red Cross art project smeared and splashed to all high heavens.
And that musta been when he finally plumb tuckered out and went to his rewards, and a damn good thing he did too, but only because he almost made it on the porch, and that might coulda made for a tad wee wacky(er) morning.
So the question for the day boys & girls mommies & daddies, is, why in the *%@# would even a complete & total idiot, yes even a moron to the highest degree, drag a seemingly dead & broken deer close to a hundred feet off the road, and drop it smack dab next to a house (my house, your house, who cares whose freakin' house!)???
Well I guess that's what I get for sleepin' like a baby last night, I mean gee whiz & holy smokes, evidently, there was enough commotion goin' on to wake the dead...now if you'll excuse me, twould seem I have a rather large beaten & bloodied carcass to dispose of...yeah I bet there's not just a few folks been waitin' a whole lifetime to be able to say that, huh?
There are hardly any music stores left anywhere. I get most everything from Amazon. I've got one store left in my town and it's a chain in a mall that's a pain in the butt to get to. Of course there is Walmart but "Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Music at Walmart."
I am sorry Pat that is awful. Not only did they drag it nearer to your house, they apparently let it lay there and suffer. One little phone call ( would have also put it out of its misery) and that carcass could have gone to a local food bank. ( at least that is what they do with them here) I am sorry the actions of a senseless, cruel person ruined your morning.
(((PITH))) (((Bambi))) driver
That's terrible. All around terrible, Pat.

Baseball Drops Two 11-4 Road Games
- Release Date:
- April 20, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
CRESSON, PA – Mount Aloysius claimed two AMCC baseball wins over Hilbert College with identical scores 11-4 April 20th. Joe Pernick led the Hawks with three hits as Hilbert dropped to 1-11 in league play. Tyler Sulski and Garrett Pauly hit doubles in the opening game while Tyler Shaw was credited with the same in the night cap.
Both teams went three pitchers deep in the rotation to open the day, with Tony Mara taking the loss in 3 innings, while C Kyle earned the win after five innings for Mount Aloysius. The Mounties took control of the game by the bottom of the fourth, holding a 10-1 lead. The Hawks put two runs on the board in the sixth and one more in the seventh.
The second game had a similar feel as the opening game. The Mounties took a 4-0 lead after three and added five more runs in the bottom of the fourth. Hilbert responded with four runs in the top of the fifth, but it was too little, too late. Pauly went four innings before he was relieved by Andrew Cartaginese for the final two. Cody Ashford, Tom Irish, John Babosci and Ryan Ilardi were all fast enough to steal one bag during the second game.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

I don't know about you, but I love me some good magic. Yes siree, cut a woman in half, make a tiger disappear, or escape from a burning box sight unseen, and I'm a happy man. Of course, we all know there's no magic … or so the dark side would have you believe … it's all illusion. There are no magicians, there are illusionists. Nevertheless, we're going to talk about magic.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there are few women performing magic. It's always some guy in a tux or a flamenco outfit with puffy sleeves doing the magic. Of course, all his helpers are leggy beauties, but all they are good for is being cut up, disappearing or making you take your eyes off the magician. Why is that, you may ask? Well, I've given it some thought and come up with a few ideas.
The best reason, I suspect, is because they're afraid they'll be killed. We have a long history in this country of killing women who allegedly perform magic. We don't tolerate that stuff. If there's any magic to be done, the men will take care of it.
Why not long ago, I think it was in 1692, the beautiful little burg of Salem, Mass., decided it had a few too many witches. Now, a witch here or there is one thing, but when you have as many as Salem had you just have to thin the herd, and thin the herd those pious people of Salem did. According to a Robert Calef, a contemporary writer of the time, 19 women were hanged and one was "prest" to death. He did not say what was used to flatten her, but I'm guessing a bunch of rocks, or, possibly, a wagon. In addition, eight more women were condemned, 50 confessed to be witches and another 150 were in prison on witchcraft charges, all felonies.
Now, for the life of me, I can't understand why everybody was so upset with all the witches. I understand if the ones they killed were those green, mole-covered, hawk-nosed, piles of human waste that ate children. But I know for a fact … okay, I surmise … that not all witches looked like that. Some were hot, which makes sense. If you're a witch and can work magic, would you prefer to look like something that crawled out of Rush Limbaugh or a babe? I think most witches would go with babe.
I remember becoming intrigued; at least that's what we'll call it for the time being, with the TV show "Bewitched." Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha, a witch who was married to a mortal. I was 14 at the time and thought what could be better; you're married to a beautiful witch; my goodness, the thoughts that raced through my hormone-filled mind. Yippee ki-yay!
Although as a young fellow I fantasized about having a beautiful witch as a wife, it turns out I was actually bewitched several years later by a fetching young beauty who eventually became the Mistress of the Manor; and, although she does have some dandy tricks, I still haven't seen her make a tiger disappear.
Although the United States and Europe both have a history of burning, hanging, drowning and pressing witches, Asia has a totally different outlook. In fact, a few hundred years ago a woman performing magic was considered high art. Their magic took the form of parlor tricks, and if there's one thing I like besides magic, its parlor tricks. Again, yippee ki-yay!
But today, the world of magic is desperately lacking when it comes to women performers, and there are some legitimate reasons, according to some female magicians. First, women's hands are smaller, making prestidigitation harder for the female gender, and then there's the clothing. Most magic tricks assume a person is wearing a jacket and pants, so as to better hide things. If you're wearing a gown … well, it's much harder to hide stuff, especially if you need to get to it quickly. Where a man might pull a rabbit out of a hat, a woman might have to pull the rabbit out of her … well, you figure it out.
There is one famous … okay, I've never heard of her either … female magician by the name of Celeste Evans, who performed in the 1960s. She did a bird act while wearing a form-fitting gown. Lisa Mena, one of the few modern female magicians, says, to this day, "nobody has a clue where those birds came from." Hmmm, makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Then again, some people theorize that women just aren't into magic as much as men, which seems strange since a lot of women have a long list of things they would change about their husbands if they could. Just think, women, if you learn magic, maybe you can turn someone like, say … "Rooster" Edwards … into someone like, say … George Clooney. Okay, that's a bit far-fetched, Merlin couldn't do that, but you get the idea.
So I say, women, become magicians! Make tigers disappear, cut men in half, pull bunnies out of hidden places and by all means do parlor tricks. Yippe ki-yay!

It was only after he won his most recent fight that Donald Cerrone admitted how close hed come to retiring, and for a reason that few fighters ever discuss.
Which, when you think about it, is kind of a serious conundrum for a pro fighter. If the goal is to win fights, make money and get famous, and if doing those things makes you complacent to the point where it harms your ability to keep doing them, youve got yourself a vicious cycle. Success breeds complacency, which breeds failure, which breeds a renewed hunger for success, which breeds complacency. Wash, rinse, repeat.According to Cowboy Cerrone, hed gotten too comfortable. As he said in post-fight quotes distributed by the UFC, Money starts to come and people start to recognize you, and the drive slips. I always told myself that wouldnt happen to me, but it did.
Its an old problem, as far as free will goes. You can do everything in your power to go get what you want, but how do you keep wanting it once youve got it?
Cerrones statements intrigued me enough that when I saw him at UFC 168 in Las Vegas this past month, when he was looking as dapper as ever in a leather vest and his trademark cowboy hat, I had to ask him: Isnt this a pretty serious problem? Wont this cycle just keep repeating itself every time he gets a good win streak going?
Cerrones longtime coach, Greg Jackson, does. Hes seen it before in his many years of experience with professional fighters, so he knows how it works for those who thrive on a certain kind of do-or-die energy that can get lost when fighting for a living becomes routine.I hope to hell not, Cerrone said. I mean, it was crazy. I lost that deep love and fire for the sport. It was weird. I wouldnt even say I lost it because Id go out there and fight and I love to fight, but that hunger was just not there. I dont even know how to explain it.
As powerful a motivator as that may be, its also a visceral feeling that most people cant talk themselves into at will. It can be a hard feeling to come by when things are going well, too.Its hard when you get comfortable, Jackson said. Like everybody says, its harder to stay the champ than it is to become the champ. Theyre right. Comfort, when youre dealing with something as intense as this gladiatorial combat stuff, its tough. There has to be something that lights that fire for you. I think for Cowboy, at least in his case, he needs to feel like his back is against the wall.
Its also probably not a state most people would want to live in long-term, which is one of the inherent problems with the whole success-breeds-complacency formula. Hunger might push you to train harder, but, at the risk of taking things too literally here, who wants to walk around hungry all the time? Wheres the line between enjoying your success and letting it ruin you?
Thats the struggle for a guy like Cerrone, who seems to thrive on that razors edge, whether hes climbing mountains or riding bulls or fighting in a cage. After his decision loss to Rafael dos Anjos his second loss in three fights he got his drive back by telling himself that if he didnt bring it against Evan Dunham at UFC 167, hed quit.
Then he went out against Dunham and notched a second-round submission win. Perhaps more importantly, he said, he put on the type of performance he could be proud of.Also, Cerrone said, I went flat broke. So that helped motivate him too.
At least, for now. But coming back is one thing. Its staying there thats the really hard part. Especially when theres always someone younger, poorer and hungrier coming up through the ranks.Thats the ultimate test, Cerrone said. If I didnt do what I needed to do, I would have quit. Because you can tell yourself anything. Talking st right now, telling you, Oh yeah, my next fight Im coming out hard. You know, words are easy. But actually doing it? I had to tell myself, all right man, go out there and fight like you said you were going to. I flipped the switch, and now Im back.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The New Mexico State baseball team fell 14-1 to Wake Forest in game two of a three-game series, Saturday, March 2 on Deacon Field. The Aggies fall to 3-8 on the year and the Demon Deacons are now 9-3 after today's win.
Starting pitcher Michael Ormseth fell to 0-2 on the year after he struggled lasting on two-thirds of an inning, tallying two strikeouts. The Aggies used five pitchers on the afternoon marking a total of six K's compared to Wake Forest using three as they combined for three strikeouts as well.
It was a rough start for NM State as the Demon Deacons sent 13 batters to the plate, scoring eight runs on six hits and an error. The Aggies would try to dig out of that hole but score only one run in the top of the third as the first two batters that came to the plate that inning got on with walks.
NM State finished the day with one run on four hits and committed two errors, while the Demon Deacons tallied their 14 runs on 17 hits and did not allow an error. The Aggies will wrap up their eight-game road trip with a game against Wake Forest at 11:00 a.m. (MT) as senior lefty, Ryan Beck makes his first start of the season. Fans can catch the action on KNSM AM 570 with the game joining-in-progress at 12:00 p.m. (MT) in Las Cruces.

How to heal a sick dog? As most of you know, Marty has been sick for more than a year and considering he was given only two to nine months to live, well, we call him our little survivor. He mostly does well, but he does occasionally give us signs that he isn't in tip-top condition and that he is indeed sick. And once in a while, when he has a particularly bad couple of days, back to the veterinarian, his surgeon, he goes.
He has slowly but surely been getting his diet refined and readjusted. He has been on a strict regime of dry dog food, a special brand, a special food for allergies. No more snacks or treats, no more table scraps, poor thing. But still, we knew whatever his problem was it was not going away. So on his last visit to the vet, she suggested that we start his diet over from scratch and see if he is suffering from allergies. "The best, most simple diet you can start him on is white fish and potatoes, colin-patates. And we will see how he does."
So, off to the supermarket we went and purchased huge sacks of frozen fish, colin or hake, and sacks of potatoes. Twice a week, husband would stand at the stove and steam fish filets and boil potatoes. He would mash the potatoes and he would break up the fish into tiny pieces with his fingers, making sure there were no fish bones hidden in the flesh. We would mix the two together and feed him two bowl of the stuff a day. The house, I must say, smelled divine and we both began craving a simple meal of poached fish and mashed potatoes with dabs of butter melting on the hot food, salt and pepper… we would stand in the kitchen side by side as he prepared Marty's colin-patates, our eyes closed, and breathe in deeply that delicious scent. And swoon. But it was all for Marty. And happy he was. Just say the now-magic words colin-patates and his head would snap up, his ears would stand at attention, his eyes would goggle out of his head… oh he came to love those words colin-patates!
But after a while, we noticed that Marty had suddenly become fat as a small pig. Fat. Not plumped up, but fat. Practically over night Marty had become a tubby, waddling barrel. And, well, tinkling all the time like an incontinent old man. JP switched the potatoes for pasta and then semolina grains but to no avail. We were up to trundling him out of the house for walkies about 7 or 8 times a day, and not all! About the fifth time he had an accident in the house, we said "enough is enough!!" and put him back on his dry dog food diet. He was not happy, but he immediately "deswelled" (if I may) and shrunk back to normal Boston dimensions and back to asking to be walked his usual number of times. We were relieved.
Which is how we ended up with fish in the freezer and potatoes in the pantry. It is as simple as that.
And what a simple salad this is! Husband, who has been doing more and more of the cooking, and thrilled I am because he is so much better a cook than I, created this salad for lunch one day out of what we had in the house. Tender fish and potatoes with the sweetness and crunch of an apple for contrast, shallots and celery to add the savory and a bite, a squeeze of lemon for a splash of sour. And the flavor of it all combined took me by surprise! Right in the middle of lunch, husband and I looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "This must be for the blog! This recipe has to be shared!" and we quickly set up the lights, grabbed the camera and did. It is that good.
We served this salad with a beautiful 2012 Solosole Vermentino wine from Allegrini Wine's Poggio al Tesoro Estate in the prestigious Bolgheri area of Tuscany. The Allegrini family has been making wine since the 16th century so you know they know their business!
Solosole is a clean, crisp dry white wine excellent with fish and seafood or vegetarian dishes. With a faint thought of white stone fruit and a slight citrus tang, Solosole is light and easy to drink, so pairs perfectly with a simple, light meal of salads, sandwiches or fingerfoods and is faultless as the wine to open for an apératif. 'Solosole' translates as 'only sun,' refering to the sun's significant influence on the wine, the sun, which seems mirrored in the beautiful bright, sunny straw color. Solosole is a slightly more assertive white than the usual local Muscadet we normally drink with seafood, but that makes it so much more versatile, able to be paired with so many more foods.
We enjoyed a glass of Solosole with a dinner of mussels marinières one night and this warm fish, potato and apple salad for lunch the following day. We are a wine-drinking family and find that the perfect, an excellent wine enhances the food one eats and makes a meal much more enjoyable. This is a wonderful and extremely interesting wine that we will drink again and again.
Disclosure: Allegrini Estates offered this wine as a gift without either the expectation or the demand to write a review; there was no payment involved. The decision to write this and all opinions herein are my own. But I do thank the good people at Allegrini and my friend Lael Hazan for allowing me to discover their truly amazing wines. You can discover more about Allegrini Estates, the domaines and their wines by visiting the website. And join Allegrini Estates USA on Facebook.
There are really no measurements or quantities to a recipe such as this but rather add more or less of each ingredient for the number of people eating and to one's taste. But roughly, count on more or less 1 fish filet, a handful of potatoes and ½ - 1 apple for 2 people. You will want about the same quantity fish to potatoes and maybe half that quantity of apple.
Hake (colin or merlu in French) or any firm-fleshed white fish
Court bouillon for poaching
Potatoes that are firm yet tender when steamed or boiled, preferably the tiny thin-skinned fingerling potatoes
An apple, firm, crispy and sweet
1 small branch celery, including the leaves
1 small purple shallot, peeled, trimmed and thinly sliced
Parsley, flat or curly-leafed, as preferred
Olive oil
Cider or Balsamic Vinegar
½ a lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Cook the potatoes – with or without the skin as desired, but better to peel if the potato has a thick skin – by steaming or boiling them until cooked through and tender. Drain and keep warm while preparing the fish.
Poach the fish in gently simmering court bouillon until just cooked through (but not overcooked), the layers easily pulling apart with a fork. Drain.
Dice the thin end of the celery branch. Chop a few leaves. Chop a few leaves or branches of the parsley.
Pull the fish apart with your fingers into small, bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Slice and cut the potatoes into thin, bite-sized coins and add to the fish. Peel and core the apple and dice or slice and cut into thin, bite-sized pieces and add to the fish and potatoes – the amount should be about 1 fish to 1 potato to ½ apple.
Add a small about of sliced celery, sliced shallot, chopped celery leaves and chopped parsley leaves as desired; start lightly as you can add more to taste once the salad is dressed.
Dress the salad with about 1 part vinegar to 2 parts olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Salt and pepper. Toss, taste, adjust seasonings and serve warm or room temperature.

I spent this summer posting transcriptions and photos. Quick and easy during a busy season. The posts prompted oohs and ahhs from family and kind bloggers, as well as contacts from cousins which is tremendously exciting (and yes, I'm getting back to you!). I haven't touched actual research in months, and haven't posted anything about my research (my ostensible goal) since June.
What I'm learning is that I'm as interested in what other bloggers are writing as in my own research. There are some wonderful minds, good writers and fascinating ideas in the blogosphere and it's downright exciting to read their blogs. My mind is spinning with a month's worth of thoughts, research successes, stories and pictures. I've missed the discussions on sources (gotta get the "Got Sources" badge onto here), discovered some blogs I adore and am suddenly puzzled about my purpose. I hadn't really expected this to be a dialog.
Let's see if I can trace my train of thought (often more a train wreck than actual progress) -
- Several bloggers I enjoy post family stories, some absorbing, some funny, some tragic. They fall far outside what I've ever done. Tipper blogged about her Uncle Frank recently on her Blind Pig & The Acorn posting "Sinners and Saints". By the comments it's clear I am not alone in being moved by her story. I wrote last week about the memories Sharing a Slice of Life's prompts provoked.
- James Tanner has been writing about the accuracy of family legends at Genealogy's Star. All the research I did for my first decade was verifying information handed down to me by my family. Not a source cited anywhere. Most has proved true - even information I seriously doubted. A few lines are clearly wrong. But my work focused on genealogy rather than family stories.
- My own family has been surprised by some of my postings - startled by something they either didn't know or had long ago forgotten.

It's a fun story, especially as told by my mother with flourishes and embellishments, but no more complete than the book or movie. It neglects the fact that Iva's father R.J. Williams, born in the mountains of southern Virginia, was from a staunchly Confederate family. That her husband's grandfather Porter Conway fought for the Confederacy and that his family had been slave owners for generations. That her Union soldier grandfather Samuel McAdams was from a slave owning family and his father, Thomas, was deemed a Confederate supporter by the Southern Claims Commission.
I admit to skepticism about that last fact. I wonder how much a Southern sympathizer a man could be whose four eldest sons volunteered in the Union Army and who maintained close ties with them. Perhaps a touch of local politics or neighbor's grudge? But even discarding the Southern Claims Commission, there's evidence of a family as divided as East Tennessee itself.
So, the story. Does it mean anything? Is it worth keeping in our family lore? When told properly it gives a clear picture of my aunt as a girl and illustrates more than a few family traits. It suggests Iva's family stories focused on the maternal rather than paternal lines and may point to a bias in her research.
It is probable that Iva did not know of her in-laws' involvement, though she should have known they were slave owners. Her sisters-in-law maintained complete ignorance about their family's Civil War experiences, suggesting no one had actually fought. At least they never heard tell of any such thing. No hint their grandfather had served in the Confederate Army. No war stories beyond what their father had seen as a child. Of course, there was no contact with one great-uncle's family.... some sort of falling out between the brothers when they were young men.
I learned that Porter Conway and his brother Joseph fought on opposing sides during the Civil War only after a cousin's persistent questions forced me to consider what might have caused the schism. It never occurred to me to look. Clearly I absorbed more of Iva's story and the aunts' wide-eyed ignorance than I realized.
So stories to come sometimes - along with whatever I have learned about them. They may point to blind spots. They may be true (not too likely in this crowd!). They probably will say quite a bit about who we think we are and more than I realize about who I want us to be. Maybe I'll tell you about my great-uncle Vasil who fire bombed the church.
