DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Mike Marburger of Sinton and Larry Guerra with the HW Hamilton Ranch load another wild pig into the trailer for transport to the Texas Dog Hunters Association Live Hog Roundup in Halletsville.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES American bulldogs is a popular breed among hog hunters. They're used as catch dogs, a role that requires muscle and tenacity. Notice the Kevlar protective gear.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Brian Miller of Xtreme Hog Hunter Magazine prepares his dogs for the next chase.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The chase begins. This one yielded two pigs and the largest hog of the morning. But it was a sloppy chase through a muddy slough.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Each dog is fitted with a satellite transmitter that tracks its whereabouts, distance, speed and direction of travel.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES A return from a rare dry run. Sometimes the wily pigs give dogs the slip. It occurred only once during our hunt. And eventually we caught the pig.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Catch dogs, like chase dogs, work in pairs. They learn to act as a team, which comes naturally as part of their breeding.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES That's the second pig of the morning, a hard fought capture made a little easier by Larry Guerra, who managed to maneuver the Polaris into the brush for loading.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Once inside the trailer these wild hogs tend to calm down. Good thing. They had a long ride ahead of them.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Alabama hunter Randy Brown with Xtreme Hog Hunter Magazine makes sure this pig is securely fastened in place for the short ride to the trailer.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Between chases these American bulldogs are calm and relaxed. But when the alarm sounds, get out of their way.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The Xtreme Hog Hunter team came all the way from Alabama and Georgia to compete in this year's Texas Dog Hunters Association Live Hog Roundup. They placed 18th in a field of 51 teams. The team's four pigs weighed 572 pounds.
Our first pig of the morning was far from our biggest. From left to right, that's Sam Lankford of Sinton, along with Brian Miller, Randy Brown and Terry Ratliff, publisher of Xtreme Hog Hunter Magazine out of Alabama.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Brian, Randy and Mike wrestle with our first pig of the morning and the second pig captured during the two-day hunt.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This was the team's biggest pig of the morning. It pushed 200 pounds and was a handful to hogtie.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This was one of those "which way did they go" moments. At this point the GPS indicated the chase dogs were nearly a mile away.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The armored protection used in hog hunting is a testament to the regard these hunters have for their dogs. Admittedly, this is not a genteel sport.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO That's Randy Brown, Terry Ratliff, Ken Scurry and Brian Miller standing in the back row. In the front row, that's Mike Marburger, Larry Guerra and Sam Lankford.

Band wives and female patrons
We're doing our set at a little bar near me, and this smoking hot woman comes in with a gay man, I think they had just come from a holiday party and could tell that they were having a great time, dancing and being very animated and boisterious, in a good way. So at one point, the woman, in her revelry, grabbed the lead singers face and planted a big fat kiss, right on his cheek. She was just feeling the vibe, I thought it looked harmless.
As you might have guessed, the singers wife got in the womans face and said who she was and to back the hell off. Well, the woman responded by grabbing our singers face and planting a "challenge" kiss right on the mouth. This was during a song. Well the wife blew a gasket, visibly distressed, talking trash, no violence, but threats of violence were made...it didn't end there, it went back and forth, but the end result was no violence and the woman was asked to leave by the staff. If there was ever a situation where the wife was going to actually do what she was threatening...this was it. The challenge kiss was a clear statement, and this woman was way bolder than other women in any previous situation.
It's becoming a real problem with her, the wife. The woman who did the kissing...the first kiss was innocent, had it been left be, it probably would have not gone any further, she was just having a good time, which I'm pretty sure is the reason we're there in the first place. Now I'm guessing this smoking hot woman probably told all of her smoking hot chick friends not to go see our band because the singers wife is this and that blah blah blah....
Sticky situation. One one hand, I want this to stop like right now if not sooner, but there's no way I'm opening my mouth on this one. She was clearly in the wrong, but she has diplomatic immunity from where I'm sitting as the wife of our lead singer. This is a pattern with her for sure. Any advice?

Re: Band wives and female patrons
Play the gig, get paid and go home.
Nothing good will come out by you saying anything. I think you know that.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
that's a tough one. two bands ago both the lead guitarist and the lead singer got into serious martial trouble over hot girl fans. their wives got extremely jealous and the band broke up because of that, which is too bad because we were popular and starting to get somewhere. we'd just finished an album and were about to go on a regional tour. the former lead singer is now forbidden by his wife from being in any band that plays out. the lead guitarist is in another band but living in paranoia and will no longer talk to any female fans.
the only advice i have is to urge your singer to never get involved with female fans, but what happened in his case is pretty innocent and just part of being a performer.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
..Maybe you should. you might get lucky and get a challenge Kiss! Geez Larry, you guys have a lot of fun. I'd paint a dartboard on my face.
PS- Dont all bandgals know that all this is par for the course and we get tired constantly swatting them off like flies and sometimes some just take advantage of our fatigue and take a sip of the nectar every now and then?
Re: Band wives and female patrons
thank god female fans usually don't go to the drummer. my girlfriend would kill the female fan AND me... :D
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Since I got back into playing music in 2003 after a 20 year hiatus, I've been in blues bands. Where I am, a blues band crowd consists of about 98% guys, so I haven't encountered this particular situation before, because rock crowds have a much larger percentage of females. If I was the singer, I would have verbally BLASTED her on the ride home. In my mind it amounts to fanbase sabotage due to personal insecurities. My hands are tied, so I must vent here. Thanks for listening lol.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
My wife stopped coming to gigs a looooong time ago... I don't think a woman has ever talked to me at a gig. Sounds like the singers wife is crazy, and would be the kind of woman who would drive me nuts to be around. I agree with ed "Play the gig, get paid and go home."
Re: Band wives and female patrons
I'd ask that she not come to shows unless she can put her jealous insecurities behind her and put faith in her husband's ability to keep things from progressing past a "harmless" level. I would agree that her presence puts the bands good name at risk. Not only with fans, but establishments who would frown upon a band who brings potential violence with them.
And c'mon, is the allure of the musician not part of the performance?
Re: Band wives and female patrons
my wife is our lead singer, and she gets hit on all the time.....all I have to do is toss a stick up towards her and the perp usually will get the hint...if not, I will talk to them cordially at the set break and explain the situation.

Re: Band wives and female patrons
Yep, innocent enough, but with the wife going redneck, that only invites more trouble. What bar crowd doesn't love a cat fight? Of course, the singer could have done the old "why thank you, but i'm happily married" routine after the cheek kiss. Since you said this happend a couple of times before tells me that he likes seeing the wife get riled up (just my opinion).
That's between him and his wife. Stay out of it.
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
On a previous incident, a woman called the lead singers cell phone to see where we will be playing. Now his cell phone is on the card that gets passed out, it's public property. This started a situation. All that was discussed was band stuff, no sex, but from a womans point of view, it's way different.
When guys hit on my wife, I'm complimented that I am the one going home with her. If the situation were reversed and a guy was trying to make time with the wife..I wonder if she would have told him to back off like she asked her husband to do...
Insecure people...I tell ya...
It really makes me all warm and fuzzy when someone wants to beat up people that we are trying to attract.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Yep, she definately has some insecurity issues. Best thing for you to do is strap in and keep it between the ditches.
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Think I'm on the other side of this one so far...I think a line gets crossed when there is phyiscal contact... I don't believe the 1st kiss was innocent (of course this is my opinion from not being there) I believe their are people due to there looks that believe they can "get away" with things average looking people can't. I believe this girl was probably aware that there was a chance the singer had a significant other and decided to cross the line....maybe I an old fuddy duddy but I really believe physical contact crosses a line.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
I disagree, I think you have to say something.
What to say, I'm not sure. But that kind of behavior is going to cost you gigs.
Either because the band will get thrown out, or plain old not asked back in the future because no one wants to deal the trouble.
Think about it: What if the other woman had been the bar owners sister? Or a writer for a local newspaper? Or the owner of a different entertainment venue that was considering offering the band a better gig? Chance are, probably not this time, but if this behavior continues, it's bound to cause problems, because her behavior reflects on the band as a whole.
Back when I was single and playing a lot, if I was seeing someone, and they started in on some crap like that over something mild, they got an earful from me. It's band, stuff happens, and it's part of the show. My wife and I have been together so long now because we realize we can't help what other people do, we can only control ourselves.
Sure, if your singer had somehow reciprocated the womans actions, his wife would have a reason. But he's the singer, he's going to get some attention. You play in front of people drinking, and drunk people are going to do dumb stuff. If the singers wife is going to get mad because people like that band, then you're not going to have much of band after a while.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Larry if you were like me and played with a bunch of old, fat guys (including myself on that remark) you wouldn't have these troubles.

Re: Band wives and female patrons
Yeah, bring it on! I'm not getting the sabotage thing. Sure, an insecure singers wife will put off a female who fancies her chances with the singer, but think of the flip side. The possibility of a hot chick fracas will bring in a ton of femflesh sport hungry guys, & secretly, a few chicks with short haircuts too! It's a rock band!!! Uncivil behaviour goes with the territory.
Our singer & keys player (two good looking younger band members) got panties thrown at them at a gig this summer. Another girl took it upon herself to shake her unrestrained chest. Before I can check my wife isn't arming up with chick missiles, the two pantie throwing girls get on stage, put the panties on the keys player (yes, he struggled like hell, for at least 3 seconds), then sandwich grind him for the remainder of the song. Even the normally posessive key player's wife gave up her anger in the face of huge audience approval. She banned him from wearing chicks nickers at future gigs, he agreed. The following week, we got a ton of page messages, asking when the next "show" was on, & were the pantie throwing & chest ventilation girls hired in!
Keys player (arms folded) Singer (bottom left). As you can see, their attractiveness is increased by the old & butt ugly elements of the band, lol!
Re: Band wives and female patrons
I aggree with braincramp on this one. Hitting on someone is one thing, and usually doesn't have major consequences. But you cross the line when you trade fluids with someone else. If I were to go to a bar and "hit on" a strange woman by kissing her, that would be sexual assault.
Me pesonally, I wouldn't care about fan base. My committment would be to my wife, whom I stood before God and family and professed 'til death do us part'.
I don't think its too much to ask for this fella's wife to watch the band without her husband being groped.
Sounds like the lead singer knows it drives his wife nuts and likes the attention he gets. A sign of insecurity. I'm not sure there's much you can do about this one.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
IDK DED, what would I say? Get over your insecurities? That's a lose/lose conversation if ever there was one. I'm not touching this with a....29 and a half foot pole! (from "Mr. Grinch")
However getting the "I'm Married" T shirt is a pretty funny angle.
Or: "Warning, contageous skin disease"
Wait, that's probably a bad idea...
Re: Band wives and female patrons
What bar is going to hire "that band who bring the wife the goes off on all the female patrons"?
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Man, I don't think our singer needs to be reminded of potential for lost gigs, I'm sure he knows full well. The ball is in his court. I'm steering clear here. I couldn't keep it in, and thought that someone here maybe had a similar scenario that I could learn from.
Even talking to the singer about the problem with his wife is a potential minefield. He is cool and would probably have to agree that it is detrimantal but I'm not gonna start that conversation. The only thing I can safely do is hope he gets his wife in line.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Just hope she gets in line and pray no one lands on your drums!
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Our band doesn't have that problem...
Plus from where I sit, I'm hidden behind the drums....not that anyone would want me anyway!
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Not once but twice? That's bad on him. He should have been able to read the signs and in one way or another it sounds like he invited it. My wife would also flip out because she knows that crap just doesn't happen. What a great tear down/ride home that would be lol.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
You guys are WORKING. Wives either chill while you're working or they stay home, is my simplistic view. This is the sort of stuff that costs gigs Larry. You wouldn't let a wife wander into your regular place of employment and start throwing her weight around. Very uncool for mine.
Different story if the singer was caught in a compromising position with the barmaid in the band room, but an innocent kiss while entertaining drunken revellers? The sort of over reaction that makes a band look unprofessional, for mine.
Agree it's a hard one, but it needs to be dealt with. I'd just say to the singer straight up, that his missus has to pull her head in and allow you guys to do your thing, or she doesn't come anymore.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
You're playing music in a party atmosphere where women are known to be present, consuming alcohol, and generally trying to have a good time. A musician's wife should understand this and also, understand that she's married and that involves trust. If she's this insecure, she should stay home or find a hobby of her own, to consume her time and thoughts. If she can't trust her husband or tolerate the idea that he'd be around women, she may have married the wrong person. That's their business, not yours...but she definitely should not be showing up to gigs and behaving like a Jerry Springer guest, inflicting that drama on the rest of you and the public.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
The guitar player in the band, who goes back a lot further with the singer than I do, I'm sure he has some thoughts on this issue. If anyone would be safe raising the topic, it would be him. And to the singers defense, he does nothing to incite this kind of behavior. He's a really nice devoted man who remains neutral, and neither incites or discourages this type of behavior, as he should as a professional entertainer. The angry wife (of the singer) is a bartender, who gets hit on too, but isn't the recipient of insecure behavior from our singer. Things are always different when the reverse happens. I don't go for double standards or hypocrisy, but in this case I have to bite my lip. As far as the singer verbally telling the kisser to back down, I don't think the stage is the proper place to get all noble. It was just a harmless kiss that escalated into a battle of wills. People really need to lighten up. She should be more concerned about what she doesn't see instead of harmless revelry that's right in front of her face.
I'd like to hear a female POV here.
Monica! Malti! Grea! Beastdrummagirl! Grannydrums! Bobdadrumma! (sorry Bob couldn't resist, love ya man) Come out come out wherever you are!
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Larry, maybe it's a good time to find a second band as insurance in case this one gets too messy? I don't see it as a male / female issue - more a redneck / civilised person issue. There are ways to voice displeasure without carrying on like an animal.
Not sure I'd say anything at this stage. It's one incident. If it happens again then if anything is said it should be a united front with the other neutral member together highlighting the problem to the singer and gently discussing the problem and what can be done.
Strangely enough, we haven't had any women throwing themselves at our singer! Can you believe that? :) Sadly, no men have been throwing themselves at me either ...
Re: Band wives and female patrons
I suppose saying anything may "Yoko" the situation. You may piss off the singer by "saying something about his wife". Not fun, dude.
My wife plays keys and sings lead in my band. Our philosophy has ALWAYS been "you are on your own" if the opposite sex comes on to you, smacks one on you, flashes her b@@bies, or asks you home. Period. I believe while working, IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND, you are "working in a rock band"!! Stuff happens all the time.
If she can't handle herself she needs to split. Hubby should be calling her out on this as it made the whole band look stupid and it's his wife. Now if you were to say anything, you may approach the others in the band and have the senior member say something, as suggested.

Re: Band wives and female patrons
Which would you prefer?
"OK, I can speak now and get the singer razzled because I questioned the sheer amatuerism of his missus' antics and what a pathetic display of petty jealousy it really was......OR.....I could make sure I have a gig next week and the band act and look like pro's".
Hmmm...I know which path I'd choose. :-)
Re: Band wives and female patrons
On second thoughts, if no one says a thing about next rehearsal it will leave a very large elephant in the room. I suspect Mrs Bono is a lot more mature, trusting and relaxed.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
There is nothing you can do about this; but it sure was funny to read! I know it isn't funny when it's happening to you, but it was funny to read!
Larry, there really is nothing you can do about this. You see, there is no such thing as a secure woman; they are all insecure and they love to compete against each other. The reason the lead singer's wife is attracted to him is the very thing which makes her insecure. One other rule - All women know who's the prettiest woman in the room!
I always hoped and prayed a particular frontman's wife would never get my phone number and start asking me questions about what was really going on out on the road. Apparently, one of my predecessors was a snitch and would call her with details of who, what, where and when.
There is absolutley nothing you can do; it is a person matter between the two of them. And this coming from a drummer who used to work with one of the best con artists in the world!
It sucks, I know and it's unprofessional. But your singer HAS to appeal to women - they are the customer! And no, the smokin' hot woman didn't complain - she more than likely bragged how she made out with the singer of the band right in front of his wife - remember - women love to compete!

Re: Band wives and female patrons
I have been kissed a lot in the past 56 years. But I have NEVER been kissed by any girl I didnt want to be kissed by. Ever. Do not lead with your lips when the wife is there. This is a basic truth. This situation should never have happened.
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Hope I don't sound like a dinosaur, but I personally don't enjoy WAGS (English term for wives and girlfriends) coming to gigs.
My current bar band got back together recently after we split up in the 90s.
Back in the day, it was a male-only night out as the five of us would pile into the van, with a couple of roadies, and take off into the night. There was a great camerarderie, team spirit and I had some of the best times and laughs of my life.
Now, we all arrive separately with WAGS in tow, generally sit separately, and there's definitely a slightly cliquey, slightly uneasy atmosphere. The camerarderie has gone.
I still enjoy playing gigs, but it's just not the same. Maybe it's called getting older!
(This isn't at all a dig at women - just my personal experience with my band lately...)
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Re: Band wives and female patrons
So there is a reason why we are put at the back after all!
Wow sounds like a tough situation but to be honest with you, I don't blame the woman for going off it, after all it's her partner and the person she loves and this other woman just wanted to pour salt in the wound after she had warned her off. God help the woman that would kiss me during a gig.
If it's happened 3 times, your singer just must be irresistible.
I can see this being a problem for the band though, I think it is up to your singer to talk to his partner and to reassure her that there is no harm in it and that if it happens again, nothing is going to come of it.
I wouldn't make a big deal out of it with your singer but you could just say, 'have you sorted things with your wife?' It might trigger him to think about it differently in terms of affecting the band.
Totally addicted to BASS....drum...pedals
Re: Band wives and female patrons
Re: Band wives and female patrons
I am with the singer, he has no control over what other people do. So you're saying that after the first kiss he should have told her to cool her jets? Not sure if I agree w/ that either, bad business. I think it's all wifeys issue. I wonder how many times Bon Jovi told the girls to back off when they gave kisses. I think that would be rude, here's a fan who loves you and you tell her to cool it...bad business IMO.
Actually, if I was the singer, after the "challenge" kiss was made, I would have taken his wife to the side (knowing how she was going to react) and asked or instructed HER to not escalate the situation. Instead, he just kept singing. By him doing nothing, (meaning not telling the kisser to back off) he made his wife even angrier, so much so that she (the wife) threw her drink straw at her husband (our singer) in front of everybody.
I do like JT1's suggestion about asking the singer if he "sorted out the problem with his wife". As long as that question comes from the guitarist, not me lol. I will be talking to the guitarist privately, I haven't done that yet, to see what his thoughts are. He has no problem taking a stand, to his credit.

CHERAW The former director of a Chesterfield County funeral home has been indicted on more than 100 fraud counts, officials said Monday.
Hubert Craig Norton has been indicted on 106 counts of violating the states preneed funeral contracts law and breach of trust with fraudulent intent, according to the S.C. Department of Consumer Affairs.
Norton was indicted Nov. 26 by the Chesterfield County grand jury. The former owner of Norton Funeral Home in Cheraw is accused of selling preneed funeral contracts without a license and allegedly failed to put the money in a trust account.
Under state law, funeral home directors must have a license to sell the preneed contracts and must put the money in a trust account. If a funeral home closes, law allows customers to transfer contracts to another funeral home, and the funeral home that originated the contract may keep a small administrative fee.
Norton allegedly sold 33 of the preneed contracts with 19 of those customers paying cash.
The remaining customers tied their payments to insurance plans, according to Carrie Grube Lybarker, executive director of the Department of Consumer Affairs.
Police said they started getting complaints about the burial contracts after Norton Funeral Home closed last year. Since the closure, Consumer Affairs has paid $10,000 to refund money to four families who had a relative die while Norton was under investigation, Lybarker said.
It wasnt immediately clear if Norton had an attorney. Lybarker said this is the first case of its kind in South Carolina.

On Monday the United Way of Scioto and Adams Counties officially launched 211 services in Scioto County.
According to Mary Ann Miars-Peercy. Executive Director of the United Way of Scioto and Adams Counties, 211 is meant to be a resource to residents.
"This (211) is a way for the people of Scioto County to stay in touch with what's going on and also to ask for help," Miars-Peercy said. "If you need help with your rent, need the a food pantry or if you are looking to volunteer somewhere. You'll be able to call 211 and they will be able to provide you with information for the services you are seeking."
According to 211us.org, "2-1-1 connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. In 2010, 2-1-1 services in the United States answered more than 16.4 million calls."
Miars-Peercy said the staff and volunteers with the United Way have spent the last year building a database of social service agencies within Scioto County and the services they provide that being used by 2-1-1.
When asked why this service was brought to Scioto County Miars-Peercy said, "I believe Scioto County will benefit from this. We also have all of the same information through a website (www.referweb.net/uwsa) and we have built the data base so, it will stay active and will be updated daily."
Nick Roman, Director, 2-1-1 and Special Projects for the Ohio United Way said once people start calling 211 they will be able to identify what the needs of the area are. "At the same time we will know what the unmet needs are in the county. That will give the people in this building (courthouse) an idea of what they need to do and what services are lacking. Those reports are going to be invaluable to Scioto County."
Roman said Scioto county is the 58th county in Ohio that has 211 services available.
"Within the next week we will have 60 counties on board. We still have a little bit of work to do but, Scioto County is one of the more populous counties and we're really happy to bring this to the people of Scioto County," Roman said.
The service is available at all hours, at all days and everyday of the calendar year. For more information about the United Way of Scioto County visit their office at 1671 Grant St., in Portsmouth, or call 740-353-5121, or visit www.uwsciotocounty.org.

There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir,
I'm there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress, and I stayed home
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun
Two different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister
And lord help the sister, who comes between me and my man
* This is the song mom used to sing to Sue whenever she would come into our bedroom to the sounds of us fighting. And it never failed to make Sue laugh no matter how angry she was and no matter how hard she tried not to laugh.

Her talents unfolding at an early age, I would watch in awe as she slipped into her dance costumes at recital time, mesmerized by the glamour and glitter, the satin and pom-poms and sequins, dreaming of owning – and wearing – such things myself - but never daring to – then watching her tap her way to stardom up on that stage. She jumped into the Girl Scouts quite young as well and loved it! Unlike poor little old me who loathed everything about Girl Scouts except the S'Mores and skipped out after purging my minimum sentence, she proudly wore her uniform and performed those Scoutly duties, earning badge after impressive badge, until she graduated high school. And at school? Well, let's just say that every time my foot crossed the threshold of another classroom on every single first day of school, the teacher would invariably exclaim "Oh, you must be Sue's sister! Well, in that case I know that we can expect great things from you as well!" And I would shrink and slide down under my desk knowing that I could never live up to those expectations.
Rare was the girl popular with both teachers and students, but boy was she! Teachers were overjoyed to have her in their classes and she was president of a gazillion clubs and Valedictorian of her class. Whew! Her awards lined the wall of the Family Room, best student in the nation, best this, president of that, highest this and star that. Top not only of her class but of every class in the country. Accepted into Medical School (and 3 of them) right out of high school. You name it, she did it! Candy Striper in her sharp, crisp pink and white striped uniform, Sunday School teacher, youth group president, her involvement and acclamations endless.
But in the Big Sister category, the story wasn't quite the same. We weren't close as we were growing up, no basking in the warm glow of sisterly love, no confidences swapped about makeup and boys, no sharing clothes or giggling over movie stars. Our relationship boiled down to classic sibling rivalry, them (Sue and Andrew) against us (Michael and me), face to face across the dinner table or side by side, push quickly coming to shove, in the station wagon on those interminably long family drives up to New York every summer. The only thing that we shared as sisters was a bedroom, a very small bedroom, invisible boundary line traced across the floor. She had sole use of the dressing table and I would watch her, now in high school, sit and do her before-bed routine or getting ready to go out, fascinated by her grown up paraphernalia, the big, chunky hair curler, scary-looking eye lash curler, creams and lip sticks, and I would watch in envy and awe. Peak under the dressing table and I would come nose to spine with books too hard, too intellectual and grown-up for me to read, open up her closet and stare at such a colorful array of the coolest, grooviest clothes imaginable. And on her trips home from medical school she could easily chase me from the bedroom by simply spreading out her textbooks, each opened to a page with some gruesome photo of a diseased body or selected bloody insides, eyeballs or whatnot, and she had all the privacy she desired.
And in the kitchen, why you don't think she would have an Achille's Heel even here? She showed us how to make sesame candy, pouring out the sesame-studded shiny golden cooked sugar onto the baking tray effortlessly, or the Chicken Noodle Casserole she learned how to make in Girl Scouts that we would clamor for.
We finally started getting closer after dad passed away and I was living in France. She flew over and visited us for 2 weeks and it may have been the best 2 weeks I have ever enjoyed in France. We shopped and visited museums, we drank thick hot chocolate at Angelina's on La Rue de Rivoli and ate Moules Frites in Dieppe. We saw where Jean D'Arc was burned in Rouen while sucking on apple candy and made deep, dark, sinful Chocolate Tartlets together at the house in Bois Colombes. We made homemade citron pressées and sipped them in the garden while having what may have been our very first heart-to-heart. And since this visit we have only grown closer, our relationship punctuated by marriages and births, travels, family reunions and, sadly, deaths. She carried me through our brother's illness and death with her constant phone calls and her endless supplies of jokes, turning everything around and upside down and keeping me laughing through the worst of times, telling stories, bringing back memories and gossiping like nobody can. Now we find each other on Skype, still amazed at the Jetson-like form of communication, allowing us to laugh and giggle, talk and show each other our dogs. And thank heavens for our brilliant doctor, too: we have been calling her for diagnoses, prognoses, questions to research and her opinion for these past 20 years. And she pulls through with flying colors every time! And hasn't once complained!
And we have discovered our common passion for food. She cooks like nobody's business, trying to cook healthy, lower calorie, vegetable-heavy meals and nice rich, decadent desserts. She clips recipes out of magazines and collects them wherever she sees a tempting one. She is as brave in her kitchen as she is in real life, throwing herself with gusto into anything that intrigues her. She recently made homemade marshmallows which even have me scared and running, joyously chewing them for my viewing pleasure while we Skype. She made macarons for our Mac Attack and had fabulous results even though she doesn't even own a pastry bag for piping! She has baked my yeast coffee cakes with grand success. And now I am waiting for her to send me recipes that she remembers from our childhood.
And she sent me this recipe for Chocolate Custard Bread Pudding about 20 years ago and I have decided to make this luscious pudding using my homemade Challah for our Monthly Mingle that I am hosting this month and whose theme is Bread & Chocolate. Luscious and dark, this is just the kind of dessert I love. And every time I open the fridge I sneak another spoonful of the Bread Pudding like a child stealing candy from mom's purse. And enjoying every single guilty mouthful.
1 ½ squares (1 ½ oz/ 45 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 ½ cups (600 ml) whole milk
2 eggs
½ cup (115 g) sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 – 4 cups stale bread cubes *
* I used homemade Challah and filled a glass measuring cup up to the 4-cup mark. Next time I will use 5 or 6 cups: less bread will give you more custard, more bread and you will have a breadier, denser, chewier pudding which I prefer.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 1 ½ quart (1 ½ litres) baking dish.
Heat the chopped chocolate and the milk together in a large, heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring, until all of the chocolate is melted.
Beat the eggs just until they are foamy then beat in the sugar and the salt.
Add the chocolate/milk mixture to the eggs gradually, stirring vigorously. Stir in the vanilla. Add the cubes of bread and press them down, stirring, until all of the bread is soaked in the chocolate mixture. Allow the bread pudding batter to stand for 10 minutes, stirring and pressing down the bread cubes occasionally.
Grease a 1 ½ quart (1 ½ litres) baking dish. Pour the pudding into the baking dish and place in a water bath** and bake 50 minutes until slightly puffed and the pudding is firm.
** I didn't place the baking dish in a water bath but next time I will. Mine separated a bit.
Serve warm with freshly whipped cream or ice cream. Keep the rest in the refrigerator, the pudding gets denser and more satisfying, the flavor evolving into something like a wonderfully elegant candy bar.
And as Sue wrote on the bottom of the recipe: Yum Yum!

Kiss Of The Butterfly
Kiss Of The Butterfly by James Lyon
In the year of his death, 1476, the Prince of Wallachia — Vlad III (Dracula) — committed atrocities under the cloak of medieval Bosnia's forested mountains, culminating in a bloody massacre in the mining town of Srebrenica.
A little over 500 years later, in July 1995, history repeated itself when troops commanded by General Ratko Mladic entered Srebrenica and slaughtered nearly 8,000 people, making it the worst massacre Europe had seen since the Second World War. For most people, the two events seemed unconnected…
Amidst the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, a college student embarks on a journey into its war-torn lands. The narrative transports the reader from medieval Bosnia to enlightenment-era Vienna, from the bright beaches of modern-day Southern California to the exotically dark cityscapes of Budapest, Belgrade and Novi Sad, and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia.
Naively trusting the advice of his enigmatic academic mentor, the student unwittingly descends into a crucible of decay, destruction, passion, death, romance, lust, immorality, genocide, and forbidden knowledge promising immortality. As the journey grows ever more perilous, the protagonist realizes that he is being drawn into something sinister from which there is no turning back. He will be forced to confront an ancient evil that has been once again loosed upon the earth.
Meticulously researched and written, "Kiss of the Butterfly" is set against the backdrop of Yugoslavia's breakup. It weaves together intricate threads from the 15th, 18th and 20th centuries to create a rich phantasmagorical tapestry of allegory and reality about divided loyalties, friendship and betrayal, virtue and innocence lost, obsession and devotion, desire and denial, lust and rejection. The book blends history and the terrors of the Balkans as it explores dark places of the soul, and is about the thirst for life and the hunger for death, rebirth and salvation. And vampires.
Vampires have formed an integral part of Balkan folklore for over a thousand years. "Kiss" represents a radical departure from popular vampire legend, based as it is on genuine Balkan folklore from as far back as the 14th century, not on fantasy. "Kiss of the Butterfly" offers up the real, horrible creatures that existed long before Dracula and places them within a modern spectrum.

COLUMBIA — The text messages popped up on her cell phone, tucked away in South Carolina's locker room. They remained there for her to read after games, when their context made little sense, but their overall message remained clear as ever.
"Why didn't you take that shot?"
Those were the things Aleighsa Welch's older brother, Ernesto, texted her during games this season — whenever he saw her hesitate to attempt the mid-range jump shot that they spent hours last summer trying to perfect.
A physical post player since her days at Goose Creek High, Welch knew she would need to expand her offensive skills this season. The Gamecocks lost their top two scorers from last season's NCAA tournament Sweet 16 team, on which Welch was a 6-foot freshman forward who averaged 7.6 points, fourth on the squad.
Coach Dawn Staley's message to Welch when they met after last season: "You're going to have to play a bigger role next year. You're going to have to be a scorer."
Defense remains the Gamecocks' best asset entering today's NCAA tournament opener against South Dakota State in Boulder, Colo. But USC's sparse scoring only makes Welch's offensive growth more valuable, even if she remains a post player at heart.
She leads USC with 12 points per game, and while she attempts just 6.6 shots per game (1.5 more than last year), she is an efficient scorer who makes 60.7 percent of them.
Her best games came against two of USC's toughest opponents. Against top-ranked Stanford, she shot 7 of 10 and scored 17 points. Versus No. 13 Georgia, she shot 8 of 10 and scored 19 points. USC lost those games by four and two points, respectively, but Welch proved her worth.
Most of her points still come on high-percentage shots from the paint. Yet Staley has noticed the mid-range jumper emerging.
"She finally is comfortable shooting the mid-range shot," Staley said. "It's something that she's pretty good at. She just doesn't shoot it enough. She likes contact, so she likes to drive and force people to body her up. But I think if she can balance hitting the mid-range and putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket, she'll be a really hard (player to) guard."
Welch was primarily a rebounder last season, when she averaged a team-best 6.1. This season, she averages 7.7, second to Ashley Bruner's 7.9. Rebounding wasn't an issue for Welch entering last summer. Developing a jump shot was.
She honed it at Goose Creek with her old coach, Tim Baldwin. Her former AAU coaches also helped. But Ernesto was her most vocal mentor. A 2008 Goose Creek graduate who lives in Greenville, he returned home or drove to Columbia to meet Welch for shooting time. He specialized in outside shooting in high school and relished passing his passion to his little sister.
Said Welch: "He was just saying, 'Listen, we're going to go into the gym, and we're going to shoot until you don't want to shoot anymore. And even when you don't want to shoot, we're still going to shoot.' "
Welch, a former state high school player of the year, guessed she took a jump shot "maybe twice" last season, when she continued to enjoy bumping in the post. Still, she understood that when USC found itself in a faster-paced, finesse game, "I can't look to initiate that contact."
"This year, it was just a matter of: If they're going to leave me open, take it," she said. "I probably haven't taken it as much as I've wanted to, and that's just because I'm really trying to pick and choose my spots. But I know I have to be more aggressive."
That has never been a problem for Welch, who estimated that she had a size advantage in the post against just five opponents all season. Even as she gains comfort farther from the basket, she leans on an assertive mentality for her continued success down low, as a rebounder and scorer.
"All of it is a pride thing," she said. "It's a 'you're not going to come in here and just beat me up' type of thing. You have to have that type of pride when you're not the biggest person on the court, because I feel like, in some cases, when you have somebody (on the other team) who is 6-5, they're thinking, 'OK, we're going to have a field day with this one today.' Yeah, you can't come in there with that mindset against me."

Well, July is here. I am starting the countdown to when things started going all to *. July 2nd I had my level 2 Ultrasound and got to see her kicking her legs. July 16th I had another Ultrasound and got to see her yawn. July 18th I was put on bedrest, July 20th I started having liver pain, July 22nd was my first visit to the cardiologist and July 29th my baby was born and struggled to survive for an hour. Then her beautiful soul flew to heaven.
I forgot to tell you the story of little Mary Rose. She has eyes that exuded kindness frim the day of her birth. She uses these eyes to help other find the beauty in situations that would otherwise be devoid of even a semblance of humanity. She has eyes that can see the babies thrown away in trash cans in restrooms. She can see the agony and grief that has lined and wrinkled a young face beyond the ability of plastic surgery, for surgery cannot erase the grief stricken soul that lives in the eyes. She has eyes that see little ones praying gor their brothers and sisters in heaven. She has eyes that see her mommy and daddy cry everynight out of love for her. And now she has eyes to worship her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She has a beautiful pert little nose to remind some and teach others how to smell the roses and the wind. To treasure the smallest things, milky baby breath, sweet baby head smell and even death, for we have all smelt death and then very politely tucked that smell away with all of our other unpleasant memories.
She has big huge ears on her head, I wondered if they were real they were so big, then I realized they needed to be big to be able to hear how much she is loved. She needed to hear her momma tell her it was ok that she let go to go home to God. She also needed to hear the hymns and prayers that were sung for her .
She has the longest fingers and smallest feet. Which apparantly she is the nursemaid in heaven and she is able to tuck in the little ones who haven't met their fmily yet then she tip toes ever so quietly to the corner of the room and plays the piano and accompanies herself to hymns and prayer.
That is what my baby girl looks like.
"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were a minute old, I would have died for you. This is the miracle of life. " -Maureen Hawkins

In the last week my bp has been all over the place. From 90s/60s up to 130s/70-80s. Doc said that after my high reading, if anything changes, go in and at least get checked out.
After seeing her, I had a resting pulse of 116 and two nose bleeds in one day. So I went in, and everything looks normal. The day after seeing her my pulse was around 100 and my feet started to swell. My toes look like mini sausages.
Today I took my bp and got 146/88! So I rushed over to a walk-in clinic for confirmation while I was on the phone scheduling an appt with my ob. I was seeing stars as I entered the building. At the walk-in, I was at 111/72. At the ob appt two hours later, it was down to 108/68. And everything else at my ob's was normal. They ordered a 24 urine just in case.
I am so, so, so tired of all of the worry. I am irritated that my high blood pressures never show up at my doc's. I want something to happen, or not happen. One way or the other. All of this back-and-forth health stuff has me so stressed out. And I am sure that I look like a total crazy hypochondriac because it seems like I am going to the doctor for everything...and my embarrassment makes me feel like I shouldn't go in. Every time I go in there I feel like a total idiot.
Ok, vent over.

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
It's heartening to see people across the globe and in Vermont gathering to highlight the connection between burning fossil fuels and a more rapidly changing climate in the Connect the Dots events of last weekend. The trauma to Vermont and its people inflicted during and since Tropical Storm Irene is saddening and will last for many years.
"A crisis is a terrible thing to waste," and fortunately the wake of this crisis provides us with a unique opportunity to make fundamental changes so that this kind of damage does not occur again. It would be a portentous mistake, however, if the damage from Tropical Storm Irene – around which the Connect the Dots events pivoted – was blamed solely on climate change.
The earth's climate has always changed, that's one of the few truly constant features of this world. Change in all aspects is guaranteed, whether climatologically or otherwise. Yes, human beings are likely a factor in the rate of climate change today. But whether human-caused or otherwise, adapting to such changes involves the same approach: anticipate such changes and act before they happen. Be adaptive, not just reactive.
For those living in river valleys, that means not constructing valuable infrastructure in floodplains. It means not relying with complete dependence upon an agricultural system in those floodplains or upon a highway running through it. It's very simple actually; floodplains flood. And humans don't win against natural forces; you can't hold back the water.
Whenever we choose to fight it, water eventually wins every time. Nature always bats last. Waving banners for pictures may be helpful to raise awareness about climate events and one of their likely causes. But actually responding to climate events in a tangible, direct, durable and long-term way involves brick and mortar, redesign, relocation, structural changes to town plans and fundamental changes to infrastructure. It means moving out of the floodplains.
Fortunately, few Vermonters are truly forced to live in floodplains. This stands in contrast to large areas of the world where it is only refugee settlements that are located in floodplains, mudslide paths and other such danger zones. Only those who cannot choose to live elsewhere reside in such areas of acute risk. The vast majority of damage in Irene was preventable – not a "natural catastrophe" but an error in human decision-making.
The majority of destruction experienced from Irene stems from our tendency to forget how our landscape functions; rivers flood on occasion, sometimes mildly, sometimes severely. By constructing "permanent" human habitations in flood-prone areas we are responsible for the results of river flooding, not policy-makers in Washington, DC, not nature, not corporations. We did Irene to ourselves. Building in river floodplains has long left a legacy of destruction and eventual abandonment – witness the thousands of rusting millworks along our river ways.
Yet, we quickly forget fundamental and inherent patterns that define life in this place, including river-bottom flooding. Vermont still (barely) has the resources to choose a different path, a future with far less vulnerability to climate and other inevitable events – even as we rebuild in the floodplain, putting back what was just taken by the river, what will be taken by the river again. Floodplains flood. Indigenous people call such things Natural Law. Protest the policies of Washington, DC, or Montpelier if you'd like; that's Man's Law. Man's Law believes that we can contain a river. Natural Law says build on higher ground. Natural Law says get out of the river's way. Natural Law says adapt. We can debate policy questions related to climate change for the next century. But there's one thing about which no questions exist. One thing is simply guaranteed: The river will rise again. Will you be in its way?

Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice always showed class. Those were the words of Niall Brennan of Niall Brennan Stables in Ocala, Fla. The horseman who broke and trained the multiple stakes placed horse, saw something special in the colt when he purchased him as a yearling for $25,000, at the 2011 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Palace Malice will be among the field of 20 starters for the 139th running of the 1 ¼-mile, $2 million, Grade 1 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4.
"He was a good looking yearling, and I was surprised I was able to buy him," said Brennan. "After we broke him and got him going, you could see he was a smooth horse, athletic and a good mover. He was young in his mind. He's only a May foal, but you could see he had a large frame, and that's why we thought he would benefit from time."
Brennan decided to enter the bay colt in a later sale rather than in an earlier juvenile auction, giving Palace Malice more time to develop. The horseman consigned the son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin to the 2012 Keeneland April Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale.
"He always showed class, and he performed well at Keeneland, you could see it on the video," said Brennan. "If you looked at him at the barn, you could see he was a good physical specimen, had good size and a good frame, and would mature with age."
Dogwood Stable purchased Palace Malice from Brennan's consignment for $200,000. The horse would go onto Legacy Stable's Brad Stauffer for additional training at the Aiken Training Track.
The colt is out of the Royal Anthem mare Palace Rumor, and has demonstrated the ability to run well on multiple surfaces.
"He's obviously a good dirt horse, and he seems to like the synthetic (surface)," said Brennan, who also broke and trained Kentucky Derby entries Orb and Revolutionary. "He worked well on the synthetic surface and showed a lot of talent. I wouldn't be surprised if he did well on turf."

The first link Lisette provided does site:
Prevention of Preeclampsia and Intrauterine Growth Restriction With Aspirin Started in Early Pregnancy: A Meta-Analysis
Obstet Gynecol 2010;116:402-414.
So it looks like the most recent issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Journal. If you were trying to find the actual literature you can find this on PubMed.
The meta-analysis is the strongest type of research in the heirarchy of the types of research articles. The gold standard in research is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). A meta-analysis analyzes multiple RCTs. So it looks like this study analyzed the results for 34 RCTs, which is why the population is so high (11,000+ women). This is a pretty strong article.
Please remember not every research article printed in a journal is a well done article. Meaning, results of a research is only as strong as the design of the research. If the design is weak, the results pretty much mean nothing. Typically, it's people who are involved in the ins and outs of the field that can fully determine the strength of the article, which therefore strengthens the result.
In any case, fantastic find Lisette!
For the Moderators: is there any way someone can post information to provide the members with the tools to figure out how to understand the parts of a journal article? People are used to accepting that if something is printed in a medical journal, it's as good as the Gospel. It seems that people on this site are truly trying to understand the science behind what's happening and want to be on top of the most current research. Just my opinion, but I think giving members the tools to be able to pick out good articles might be empowering. (Eg: discussing study designs and why one study might be stronger than another, basic statistical analysis, etc).
