Get your Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets to hear some mind-bending rock opera! Classical music meets heavy metal in this unique concert experience that has been flooring audiences for years. Find Trans-Siberian tour dates near you, and get ready for the debut of The Christmas Attic to experience this mutli-media extravaganza - pyrotechnics, laser lights, and classical strings - that make up one of the season's best holiday traditions!
TSO 2015 Tour
A veritable holiday institution, this year's Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour dates feature performances of The Christmas Attic. If you can't get lost in the wrappings of New York City this season, TSO tickets to The Christmas Attic are the next best thing! Following the re-release of their 1998 album The Christmas Attic, TSO's 2014 tour will feature songs from the record that have never been played live before as well as fan favorites like "Wizards in Winter" and "Carol of the Bells." Get carried away by the distinctive voice of the TSO narrator, who tells a tale of a young girl who sneaks up to her attic on Christmas Eve. There she finds a trunk filled with ornaments, letters, and toys that act as a mystical doorway to the past where she stumbles on a mysterious adventure.
About Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets are a unique treat during the holiday season and have become a tradition for many families around the country. Trans-Siberian Orchestra usually embarks on an annual winter tour, and you're invited! This group of talented musicians aren't your typical classical symphony. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, or TSO as they are commonly called, is a rock orchestra combining rhythms and sounds from heavy metal with classical instrumentation. TSO has become a fun holiday tradition and is very popular during the Christmas season.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra was founded in 1996 in NYC by a group of composers and heavy metal artists. Named after the Trans-Siberian Railway, which, like their music, bridged various cultures, TSO was not very well received at first. Classical music critics weren't ready to accept holiday-themed music performed in a heavy metal/rock opera style. However, soon enough TSO became popular with audiences both young and old due to their powerfully symphonic and magical sound, making TSO one of the hottest holiday shows around.
Since their formation, TSO has released five studio albums featuring their haunting, one-of-a-kind compositions. Currently, Trans-Siberian Orchestra boasts 34 orchestra members, with 16 vocalists, 16 instrumentalists, and 2 narrators, making TSO tour dates some of the largest spectacles of the year. TSO concerts evoke the foundations of human emotions and bring out the spirit of the holiday season with a unique style and grace.Beethoven's Last Night
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra have taken the term rock opera to a whole new level. With a spectacular pyrotechnic and laser-light show and a prog-rock band with 18 singers, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra melds classical with rock and storytelling in a seamless blend of Rock Theatre. In one of their most popular performances, Beethoven's Last Night, Ludwig von Beethoven is confronted by Mephistopheles over the body of his unpublished Tenth Symphony and the two bargain over Beethoven's soul. You've got to see it to believe it. Take a chance and be blown away!

- Lending a Helping Hand
Willamette students spent a recent Saturday morning making a breakfast of pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs for the homeless.
Asked why she makes breakfasts for the homeless, Megan Newcomb '14 says "I've learned that I really enjoy giving back. I want volunteering to be a part of my life for the rest of my life."
Related Material
Willamette students unite to feed breakfasts to Salem's homeless
As a college student, Scotty Ferguson '13 is used to getting advice. But some of the most meaningful has come from the homeless people he's served.
"One guy told me that life is a boxing match. You have to dodge the hit or take it and keep going," Ferguson says. "Talking to these guys definitely puts things in perspective. I could be homeless. You could be homeless. It could happen to anyone."
Through Bearcats Offering Others Meals (BOOM), Ferguson and nearly 200 other Willamette University students have taken to heart the university's motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."
They do this by preparing breakfasts of eggs, bacon and pancakes for residents of the Salvation Army's Lighthouse Shelter in Northeast Salem. Since BOOM's inception in the early '90s, Willamette students have served in excess of 10,000 meals to people staying there.
"I build my life around charity and philanthropy," says Ferguson, an environmental science major. "Taking action is how I make a difference."
Giving Back
As BOOM leaders, Ferguson and Megan Newcomb '14 organize excursions to the shelter each semester. They begin by sending out a mass email to members of their list serve, and within minutes, several students volunteer to participate.
On a recent Saturday morning, six of these students awoke before dawn to make a mass breakfast for the homeless. While listening to classic rock and chatting about their coursework, they scrambled 300 eggs, mixed 10 pounds of pancake mix with water and cooked more than 280 strips of bacon.
BOOM pays for the meals with funds issued by the student government. For each of its 10 yearly service trips, it has $85 to spend on food for 60 people.
"Serving people who are underprivileged reminds me how lucky I am," says Newcomb, the club's president. "It reminds me of the obligations I have and ways I can help the community."
Newcomb joined BOOM as a freshman and has remained committed to the club ever since. Hoping to attract new leadership, she says the club gives students an opportunity to help those in need.
"When I volunteer here, I feel happy, fulfilled and appreciative," says Newcomb, a chemistry and biology major. "I've learned that I really enjoy giving back. I want volunteering to be a part of my life for the rest of my life."
Understanding homelessness
Having lived at the shelter for six and four months respectively, 37-year-old Nathaniel and 26-year-old Phillip say they appreciate the Willamette students' food and companionship.
Nathaniel is counting down the days until he can move out of the shelter and into his new house. The Los Angeles native is working at a Christmas tree farm and is enrolled at Chemeketa Community College, where he will train to become a welder.
Phillip, too, is getting his life back on track. His days revolve around working at Oil Can Henry's and being a role model for his 11-month-old son, Andrew. For him, waking up on a weekend to the smell of bacon was a welcome surprise.
"This is amazing. It means a lot," Phillip says about the breakfast. "Not only have they made us food, they are out here, eating with us and chatting with us, and that's cool."
In the future, Newcomb hopes to increase the number of yearly service trips and collaborate with other campus organizations to serve dinners to the homeless. Ferguson, meanwhile, wants to spur even more students to join the club.
"There is such a great need here in Salem," Ferguson says. "A lot of the time, people don't understand homelessness. But by being here, by serving them breakfast, you realize that that person standing on the street corner asking for money could just as easily be you."

Couldn't find your ass with your hands glued to it

Point being;
you've been around
gone around
outsmarted the hens and the fox alike
and while no longer fleet-footed, you are sure in your pace.
Wherever you decide to go, you'll walk with grace

Wednesday, December 4, 2013
Charleston County, the town of Mount Pleasant and Wando High School have something big to celebrate this semester thanks to thousands of safe driver commitments made in support of Wando High School through the Celebrate My Drive program created by State Farm. Wando High School is the only school in South Carolina and 1 of 100 high schools throughout the U.S. and Canada to be awarded a Celebrate My Drive grant out of more than 3,500 schools that participated in the event. State Farm Agents Heather Bosse, Scott Walker, Jack Tankersley, Billy Swails, Gene Murray and Tony Pope along with CCSD board member Craig Ascue, and Jimmy Dunn, Agency Sales Leader surprised the students and teachers with the grant announcement at Wando High School during a Winter Sports Pep Rally celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
"State Farm is proud of Wando High School and their efforts to generate excitement among students, faculty and the entire community to make safe driving commitments and have positive conversations about teen driver safety", says State Farm sales leader Jimmy Dunn. "Our goal is to celebrate the joy of getting a license and encourage young people to be safe on the road."
The need for more awareness around auto safety is supported in the report on distracted driving State Farm released this month. The July 2013, survey of nearly 1,000 motorists' shines a light on a growing safety concern: people accessing the internet while driving. Five years of data show a significant increase in the use of mobile web services while driving.
Celebrate My Drive is a different approach to a leading public health risk. Car crashes are the number one killer of teens, and a teen's first year on the road is the most dangerous. Using research as a guide, State Farm is approaching teen driver safety, a winnable public health battle, by engaging teens while they learn to drive in a supportive and positive way. It's a community celebration of safe driving habits emphasizing the benefits of safe choices as teens celebrate the freedom that comes with getting a drivers' license. Learn more about the initiative at www.celebratemydrive.com.

Many parents know that the first few years of a child's life are the most important in development, and with their children's best interest at heart, may seek out resources like the Pre-K program to make their little ones school-ready.
On Oct. 18, N.C. Governor Bev Perdue issued Executive Order No. 128 authorizing the expansion of the NC Pre-K program to serve up to 6,300 additional children by Jan. 1, 2013. An estimated 1,000 of those children were served immediately in Pre-K classrooms across the state.
"Through good economic times and bad, North Carolina's enduring commitment has been to educate our children. Now more than ever, as we sit poised for an economic recovery, any delay in preparing our kids to be tomorrow's workforce is simply unacceptable," Perdue said. "After the General Assembly cut early education programs by 20 percent, thousands of our youngest students were cut out of the Pre-K classroom. Today we can welcome many of them in."
The expansion of the Pre-K program is a step in the right direction for the futures of North Carolina children; however, Ashe County was not among those benefiting from the expansion. Ashe County Schools Director of Exceptional Children and Pre-K, Terry Richardson said, "We did not receive assistance at this time because we did not have a waiting list."
The fact that Ashe does not have a waiting list for Pre-K does not mean that every child will be enrolled. There are a few criteria children must meet before qualifying. Richardson said the main reason people were denied was because they did not meet the income requirement.
In order to be eligible for Pre-K, a child must be four years old on or before Aug. 31, of the program year and must be from a family whose income is at or below 75 percent of the state median income level.
Exceptions to the income requirement include children of members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and children with identified risk factors such as a developmental disability, little or no English spoken in the home, educational need based on a developmental screening or a chronic health condition diagnosed by a professional health care provider.
The Pre-K program in Ashe has 122 positions or "slots" with 76 preschoolers in the Ashe County School System (30 children at Blue Ridge Elementary and 46 children at the Ashe Early Learning Center). The remaining 46 students are enrolled in other Pre-K programs at Learning Thru Play, Generations Developmental Day Center, Ashe Developmental Day School, Mt. Jefferson Child Development Center and the Head Start Sizemore Center.

Panetta: 'The political knives were out' for Hagel
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says "the political knives were out" for Chuck Hagel at Thursday's confirmation hearing.
Panetta said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that politics were clearly at play during the Senate Armed Services committee hearing.
"It's pretty obvious that the political knives were out for Chuck Hagel," Panetta said.
"And that's what you think it was? You think this was totally political and totally partisan?" NBC's Chuck Todd asked.
Panetta said what "disappointed" him was that the senators zeroed in on Hagel's previous comments and did not focus in on the pressing concerns he would face on the job.
"They talked a lot about past quotes, but what about what a secretary of defense is confronting today?" Panetta said. "What about the war in Afghanistan? What about the war on terrorism? What about the budget sequestering, what, what impact it's gonna have on readiness? What about Middle East turmoil? What about cyber-attacks? All of the issues that confront a secretary of defense, frankly, those were — we just did not see enough time spent on discussing those issues."
Panetta said he is "absolutely" confident Hagel is prepared to take his place.

Gallery: Do you remember? -- Jan. 31, 2011, Political rally for U.S. Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio
We have a treasure trove of old negatives and photos at The Herald-Dispatch. Some of the images, we know. Others, we have no idea.
We are scanning the negatives and photos and running some of the photos in the newspaper.
These photos were from a box of 4x5 negatives. The box identifies the photos as being from a political rally for U.S. Sen. Robert Taft (R-Ohio). It is most likely from 1952, with the banquet being at the Hotel Prichard and the big rally at the Veterans' Memorial Field House. Taft died in 1953.
Browse through the gallery. If you can add caption information to any of the photos (or correct a caption we already have), e-mail online editor Andrea Copley-Smith at email@example.com or call 304-526-2764. Be sure to include the title of the gallery, details of the photo, your name and phone number.

What is there to say about pierogi? I don't have an old family recipe; pierogi are a Polish specialty, not Russian, and I don't think that I ate one of these beautiful little babies until I lived in Paris. Delicate, pale, tangy dough filled with a luscious, savory filling, primped and preened and cooed over and coddled, handle with kid gloves, please, puffed up into little pillows to be fried until golden and fragrant and popped into the mouth where they give blissful pleasure, sublime.
But, really, sometimes we just likes to have fun, don't we now?! Lying in bed at night, staring up into the inky blackness that surrounds me, waiting for my brother's ghost to send me a signal of some kind that he is watching over me, occasionally swatting at that dang gnat or mosquito or whatever that keeps dive-bombing my head, swooping in low for a hit then quickly soaring out of sight again, chuckling to himself I am sure, thoughts swirl through my head: lunch tomorrow with Julie and Manu, don't forget to bake the rest of the sugar cookies so you can wrap them up for Rosalie to take home, pierogi…pierogi, I must write up my post, ah I have an article to write for The Daily Tiffin, must call Mme. Furon back on Monday morning, peirogi…pierogi….pierogi. Until I fall asleep.
And then I realize that I really don't have anything special to say about pierogi! So, tell me, what's wrong with that? Why did I make pierogi in the first place? Well, several years ago I came across a recipe and thought it sounded delicious and fun. Potatoes and mushrooms? Yeah, I could do that! And I did! The dough was a bit troublesome because of the stickiness, but the results were scrumptious! And that first time around I served boiled pierogi, not fried. Quite yummy! We all loved the tanginess of the yogurt, the wonderful savory filling, warm and Autumn-y, the chewiness of the "dumpling" itself was so satisfying. And then that was that. Hadn't made them again for years. Well, Autumn is once more upon us, days of bright sun fading into gray, cold wind whistling through the trees, Marty, disgusted, tip-toeing through the wet, wet leaves piled up under the trees in the square where we walk him, poor guy, with no respite. Mushrooms of all sorts in golden, white and milk-chocolate brown pile up at the market, fluffy champignons de Paris, pale, funny pieds de moutons, "sheep feet", delicate dark yellow chanterelles and girolles and woodsy cepes large and small, valuable like jewels. Potatoes galore – we are a fingerling-producing region, after all, and the French are potato people: charlottes and Bintje, violettes and la bonotte. Bundles of forest-green thyme and bay, rosemary and parsley adorn the vegetable displays, huge slices of deep orange pumpkins, their seeds gaily spilling from their centers, tiny, decorative squash in greens and golds and browns and yellows, the colors of Autumn.
Where does inspiration come from? A lot of my readers ask me that question. What inspires me to write what I write? How do I find the words that fill each post on my blog? Memories, emotions, sensations stirred up by spying a certain ingredient nestled amongst the uninspiring on a market stall, a battered old cookbook that belonged to mom or dad, the incessant rains of Autumn or the unrelenting heat of a summer day, something mentioned haphazardly here at home or on a blog, family secrets laughed over with my sister. And sometimes I sit in front of my keyboard, fingers tap tapping on the desk, up and down, back and forth between desk and tv and kitchen. Is the gang around on twitter or my gal pals over on FB? Nothing, nothing… what can I write? Nothing is coming, blank. Sometimes it flows freely, ideas tripping over each other pell-mell in their rush to get out of my head and onto the page as I sit and chuckle to myself. Sometimes the thoughts, the story, the emotions are slow and lazy, romantic or sad, swirling around my tender heart, spilling out onto the page through my tears or my smiles, one image fading into the other. Food therapy, my husband calls it as my stories stir up ideas for cakes or stews or as certain dishes evoke memories I thought were long lost and buried deep inside some secret spot or have me rushing to pull the heavy photo albums off the shelf calling "oh, remember when we…?" as I flip through the stiff pages. Stories, memories, emotions all intertwined in what I eat, cook and bake, or inversely, the simple act of chopping, stirring, folding, kneading pulling at my heart, soothing and calming me, thoughts running wild, memories slipping in and out, making me feel sad or happy, excited or sexy.
My writing, my food, impossible to separate them, Siamese twins, the happy couple.
And then sometimes, just once in a while, nothing. Sometimes I just want to laugh. Sometimes I just want to be silly. Pierogi. Say it again louder PIEROGI, hard P as lips poof together, hold it...PPP, then that oh-so satisfying RO rolled on the tip of the tongue tucked in behind the upper front teeth, let it linger, drag it out, feel the vibrations, then followed hard on her heels by the guttural G-G-G G and the I pronounced EEEEE pulling my lips into a smile as I jump up and down, flapping my arms pierogi pierogi pierogi and husband mutters "T'es complètement folle, tu sais?"
I recently received an award from Barbara of Barbara Bakes, my twitter pal, my Mac Sistah, my friend. She has gone and given me the Inspiration Award. I am touched, Barbara, happy and amazed that I can inspire you. I do hope that every day my recipes, simple as they are, inspire some of you out there to cook or bake or attempt yeast breads or puff pastry or macarons, convince some of you baking virgins to butter a baking tin and find a wooden spoon, plug in an electric mixer and bake. I dream of my words inspiring, making you dream, laugh, cry, hoping my memories stir up emotions and memories in each of you. I thank you, Barbara, and all of my readers, from the bottom of my heart.
I would like to pass this award on to so many people who inspire me every day in so many ways: people who inspire me to push myself in the kitchen, people who inspire me to look at myself and put the best of myself, my heart into my writing and people who inspire me to carry on each day through thick and thin, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad and embrace what's best in those around me and keep smiling, but I can't do that here. So I think today I'll pass on the Inspiration Award to 3 fabulous food bloggers and wonderful, dear friends who make me laugh every day whether on twitter, Facebook or whenever I go over and read their blogs, and who reach out with a virtual hug and kind words and help me to carry on.
Nanette aka Ms. Gourmet of The Gourmet Worrier

You ladies don't know how many ways you inspire me every day.
Just for fun!
For the dough:
2 cups (500 ml) full fat plain or Greek yogurt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
2 ¼ cups (280 g) flour + more for kneading
For the filling:
¾ lb (350 g) potato for mashing
1 lb (500 g) white mushrooms, trimmed and finely diced
2 yellow onions, chopped
4 - 6 Tbs (60 - 90 g) unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Full-fat or Greek yogurt for serving
Prepare the dough:
Beat the yogurt, the egg and the salt together with an electric beater on low until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the flour, beating until smooth. The dough will be very sticky.
Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a well-floured work surface and knead in enough flour until the dough is smooth and workable (can be rolled out and cut). It will be tacky but not so sticky that it runs all over the work surface and sticks to your hands in a major way.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm up.
Prepare the filling:
Chop the onions. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and sauté the onions until caramelized a deep brown, caramelized but not burned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt another 2 tablespoons of butter and add the chopped mushrooms. Salt and pepper the mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and all the liquid exuded by the mushrooms has evaporated, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
While you are cooking the onions and mushrooms, peel and quarter the potato(es) and place in a small pot. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until soft and mashable, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl.
If you want the filling a bit richer, melt the extra 2 tablespoons of butter and add to the potatoes. Mash and whip the potatoes until smooth and fluffy. Fold in the cooked mushrooms and the caramelized onions until well blended. Salt and pepper again to taste.
Make the Pierogi:
Take the dough out of the fridge and work with half at a time. The other half keep in the fridge.
Keeping both your work surface and the surface of the dough well floured, gently roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (1/2 cm), gently lifting it up to flour underneath and turn. Keeping your hands floured also helps.
Using a 3-inch (7 ½ cm) round cookie cutter (they can be made larger if you like) carefully cut out circles, trying not to deform the circles of dough too much, although this dough is easy to work with and "correctable". I lifted up the circles, 2 or 3 at a time, and made sure they were on a floured section of the table before trying to fill and fold. With floured fingertips, I tapped each circle a bit to stretch out the circle. Place a mounded teaspoon of filling just off of the center of each round of dough.
Now, gently pull the wider half over the mound of filling and place the side edge-to-edge with the side with the dough.
Now, with the edges matching/meeting, just press with the side of your floured index finger, pulling the dough and pressing to seal. The edge should be a bit less than a finger's-width. This will also keep the edge from being too thick. Be very careful not to rip the dough covering the filling.
As you form the pieorgi, 1, 2 or at the most 3 at a time, place them on a floured or lined and floured plate or baking sheet until you are ready to cook.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once it is boiling, lower a bit to a healthy simmer and drop in the pieorgi just 6 or 7 at a time (they shouldn't crowd or overlap in the pan). Allow to cook for 6 to 7 minutes. They should float to the top and, when lifted out with a slotted spoon, should look puffy. Cook the rest in batches.
Place on towels to drain.
To fry, simply heat olive oil or a mixture of butter and olive oil in a skillet and fry the pierogi for a few minutes per side, in batches, again, not overcrowding. They should be golden on each side.
Serve hot with extra yogurt for dipping.
A chilled bottle of white, a plate of pierogi with yogurt for dipping and a fun movie on tv and the evening promises to be good! Enjoy!

What a fun post Jamie. I have to say, I've never heard of or tried Pierogi before. They look and sound so yummy I'm going to have to give them a try. Dumplings are one of my absolute favourite comfort foods, so these will go down well I'm sure!

Having listened about your writing motivation and woes last night at the Bloggers Connect, it was fun to see how you actually dealt with the pierogi-blockage:)
Poles would probably seriously argue with me, but pierogi (or pirog)are also of Russian origin (perhaps an old Slav word in fact, should research...), the difference is that Russians (and Ukrainians) bake them like pies, and Poles make them smaller and boil (and/or fry.
We call the latter Pelmeni, or what Poles would name Dumplings:) All very confusing, but a lot of fun!
You see, you didn't have a lot to say, we've added loads!
p.s. I'd love to ask you about the photos you use for your blog - could I email you separately?

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), also called acute lymphocytic leukemia or acute lymphoid leukemia, is a fast-growing cancer of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Normal lymphocytes help your body fight infections. In ALL, the lymphocytes are cancerous and don't fight infections very well. These cancerous cells (or leukemic blasts) grow quickly and crowd out the bone marrow, preventing it from making the normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that your body needs.
About 6,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with ALL each year.1 It is the most common type of leukemia in children under age 15.1 However, it can affect people of any age. The cause of ALL is unknown.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's 5th Anniversary: Police Have to Control Fans in Cuba
Beyonce and Jay-Z got hitched back in April 2008, so they celebrated five years of wedded bliss (or just marriage) on Thursday in Havana, Cuba.
According to the Associated Press, they were mobbed by fans, and police had to step in to keep the crowd at bay. Bey & Jay reportedly had dinner at the restaurant La Guarida on Wednesday night, eating fish, chicken, black beans, and rice, accompanied by their mothers, as well as bodyguards. (How romantic?) Beyonce went to a balcony and waved to the crowd. Waitress Silvia Fernandez said, "She was beautiful, without a drop of makeup, very natural. What happened with the people was incredible." She's like royalty!
Check out some photos from their trip here. Happy anniversary!

Feb. 15, 2008 -- Unprovoked shark attacks killed one person worldwide in 2007, a 20-year low.
That's according to the International Shark Attack File, a project of the Florida Museum of National History at the University of Florida.
"Fatalities are a rarity as a result of shark attacks," says George Burgess, MS, curator of the International Shark Attack File.
"Each decade in the 20th century had a lower fatality rate than the prior one," Burgess tells WebMD. "This decade promises to be lower than the 1990s, as well."
He credits better emergency medical care, beach safety, and public awareness for that trend, which counters a rise in the number of shark attacks.
Shark Attacks Up
There were 71 unprovoked shark attacks in 2007, up from 63 in 2006.
"This decade, we're going to have more attacks than the previous one, which is a no-brainer considering the pattern of population growth, which has not slowed down," Burgess says.
In other words, more people living near an ocean means more chances for shark attacks.
"But you can't predict environmental and meteorological and oceanic conditions, and you can't predict the economy on a world basis," Burgess says. "And all of those influence whether sharks and humans get together."
Shark Attack Death
Last year's lone fatality occurred in New Caledonia in the South Pacific. The victim was a nurse who had been working as a contractor in New Caledonia.
On vacation, the nurse and a friend were skin diving in "fairly shallow water" and were apart but in sight of each other when the shark attacked, Burgess says.
The nurse's companion "saw her suddenly struggling with the shark attacking her and she succumbed to her injuries," Burgess says. "We're still investigating the species of shark involved, but there's some conjecture at this point that it might be a white shark."
Shark Attack Prevention
On the Florida Museum of Natural History's web site, Burgess provides the following tips to help prevent shark attacks:
- Stay in groups.
- Stay close to shore.
- Avoid being in the water during darkness or twilight hours, when sharks are most active.
- Don't go into the water if you're bleeding or menstruating.
- Don't wear shiny jewelry in the water. The reflected light resembles the sheen of fish scales.
- Use extra caution in murky waters and avoid uneven tanning and bright-colored clothing. Sharks see contrast particularly well.
- Refrain from excess splashing and don't allow pets in the water.
- Be careful in areas between sandbars or near steep drop-offs in the shore's floor. Those are favorite shark hangouts.
- Don't get in the water if sharks are known to be present.
- Get out of the water if sharks are seen there.
- Don't harass a shark if you see one.
If you come face to face with a shark, Burgess advises hitting the tip of its nose, using an inanimate object such as a camera if you happen to have one with you. The shark should retreat, which is your chance to get out of the water as quickly and as smoothly as possible, keeping an eye on the shark the whole time.
"If a shark actually gets you in its mouth, I advise [you] to be as aggressively defensive as you are able. 'Playing dead' does not work," Burgess says on the museum's web site. He recommends clawing at the shark's eyes and gill openings, which are sensitive areas.
"Once released, do all you can to exit the water as quickly as possible, because with your blood in the water, the shark could very well return for a repeat attack," Burgess says.

They say grief is a depth that you sink to,
But I have to disagree.
Grief is a mountain you climb and climb
Away from how life used to be.
Slowly you leave all your loved ones behind,
And all they can do is just stare.
They know they can't reach you, and higher you climb,
Forgetting just how much they care.
Once at the top you sit and you sob,
And look at the world with new eyes.
Everyone else's problems seem small
While yours are as wide as the sky.
The choice now is yours, are you willing to risk
The treacherous trip to the ground?
Though you know you may fall and get hurt once again,
It's worth it to finally come down.
You could stay at the top till your broken heart stops,
And finally you no longer live
From fear, lack of trust, and absence of love
That the ones on the ground used to give.
So you take a tentative step now and then,
And soon to your wonder and joy,
The ones on the ground reach up, help you down,
And support you the rest of the way.
I wish many things that I'd done, thought or said,
I wish for the way things could be.
But the wish that I wish with all my heart
Is for Jaime to be here with me.

Perrysburg siblings runners-up in national duct tape prom contestWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A pair of Perrysburg siblings finished as runners-up in a national contest featuring prom outfits made of duct tape.
Nathanial and Kathryn Dobbs each received $500 and their school received $500 from the Stuck at Prom scholarship contest by Duck brand duct tape.
The siblings used 40 rolls of duct tape and spent 93 hours making their "Earth, Fire, Water and Air" themed outfits, which they entered in the contest. Nathanial's suit represented Water and Wind while Kathryn's dress represented Earth and Fire.
"We're both very creative people," Kathryn said. "We pulled many all-nighters to make sure everything was perfect."
A panel of judges selected by Duck brand chose the 10 finalists based on workmanship, originality, use of color, accessories and use of duct tape. A first-, second- and third-place winner were chosen by online voting. The other seven were runners-up.
Online voting took place June 10 through July 8. Winners were announced July 16.
Kathryn, 21, graduated from Perrysburg High School in 2011. She's now a sophomore at Bowling Green State University and a member of the Ohio Air National Guard.
Nathanial, 18, graduated from Perrysburg this year and plans to attend BGSU in the fall.
The siblings originally planned to make duct tape outfits for Kathryn's senior prom, but then she got a date and scrapped the idea. Nathanial had wanted to do it ever since, Kathryn said.
"Three years later I had completely forgotten, but he brought it back up," Kathryn said. "He had to wear me down a little bit, but I did it because I'm a good sister. He's my best friend. I'd do anything for him."
Their outfits got a lot of attention at the dance.
"We were the last people to arrive because we were still sticking stuff on our outfits," Kathryn said. "Everyone who had already seen our stuff was talking it up before we even got in the room. No one believed anyone in their right mind would actually wear a hot duct tape outfit to prom. When we walked in the door, all eyes were on us. We couldn't go five minutes without someone asking to take our picture.
"I couldn't do a lot of dancing because it was really hard to move and because it was so hot," she added.
Their mom, Liz Cope, said what set their outfits apart from most of the other finalists is they "don't match, but they flow."
"They made a conscious decision not to wear identical outfits, but to decide on a theme and then each create their own identity within that theme," Cope wrote in an email to Toledo Free Press. "Their personalities are absolutely reflected in their individual costumes. Katie's dress evolves from the fiery core of the earth to the nurturing soil to the grasses, leaves and flowers. It is organized and structured, purposeful yet lighthearted, bohemian and fun. That's exactly who she is. Nate's is whimsical. It's a daydream but full of intricate details and ideas. There is so much going on in his outfit — feathers, scales, swirls, fins — that it takes a minute to grasp everything he did. And that is exactly Nate."
Regardless of the outcome, Kathryn told Toledo Free Press last month she planned to have fun.
"Even if we don't win the scholarship it was a great way to bond with Nate," Kathryn said. "Being away at college I don't get to see him a lot. We had a ton of fun doing it."

Moët & Chandon Imperial Champagne 4 4
Yes, better than Dom! This is my favorite champagne by far, even better than Dom. Great for any occasion, my go-to for New Years! November 24, 2011
Moet et Chandon, White Star Fair price while still a high quality Champagne. Very smooth and balanced taste. Great for any occasion. Prefer the splits, no need to open a big bottle for just a sip or two of fine Champagne. November 8, 2008
Better than Dom? I would question whether this beats the grand daddy of all Champagnes. Though good, my favorite is still the Dom! July 1, 2009
Better than Dom In my opinion White Star totally outshines Dom. It has all the great Champagne qualities, plus it is affordable. White Star is also a little more approachable to beginners, because of that touch of sweetness it has. I like to drink this wine when I am out at a nice Japanese restaurant, since it pairs well with Sushi. November 10, 2008

We have all heard the idea of the glass being half empty or half full depending on the person's perception. The same concept applies with our expectations and goals.
In the context of the glass being half empty – this often refers to seeing ourselves as half empty, incomplete, lacking, not good enough. Our sense of self and worth becomes tied to those things we want. And these lead to expectations we place on ourselves. Once this is the case, our self-esteem and worth are at risk if we don't get them – we need to make this happen! Our focus becomes fixated on where we lack and what we aren't and all that space that has not been filled within that glass. We become very skilled at seeing whats wrong that we fail to see what is right. The journey to getting those things becomes one of discouragement and pain.
When the glass is half full we see ourselves for the good things that we are, the positive attributes, the good times, the things we do right, the people that do care about us and the potential we have. We are ok with where we are and that space left in the glass is available for us to build ourselves up even more than what we are. We can build up our capacity for love along with our ability to give. We can build up our awareness of whats going on around us. We can gain more knowledge that helps us produce better results in whatever we do. We can build up other people through our communication with them. The journey becomes one of fun, and we enjoy the process. Life becomes more enjoyable and we get to see the good things, the accomplishments, the growth, the potential for more growth and opportunities.
Being aware of this is just the first step. With the pain and unresolved hurt that may surface, do not fret, it is just your minds way of placing the focus on what needs to be resolved. These are signals from your unconscious mind to your conscious. Negative feelings tell us something needs our attention. When we address those areas of lacking, the wonderful things and good feelings they were covering up will shine once again.

Burnett's end-zone INT propels victory
Green Bay - The Minnesota Vikings had a Super Bowl berth at their fingertips three years ago until Brett Favre threw back into the middle of the field for a last-minute interception against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game.
On Sunday, they were well on their way to dealing what would have been a costly defeat to the archrival Green Bay Packers when Favre's successor, Christian Ponder, did the exact same thing.
Morgan Burnett's end-zone interception of Ponder's foolish pass loomed large as large could be Sunday after the Packers pounded out a gratifying 23-14 victory at Lambeau Field. »Read Full Article(257)

Incoming GOP Assembly leaders shuffling offices
Madison - Incoming Assembly Speaker Robin Vos will likely enjoy a second Capitol office under a plan that will push Rep. Scott Suder out of the space the majority leader has occupied for more than half a century.
As Vos (R-Rochester), Suder (R-Abbotsford) and others considered how to reallocate office space, they also contemplated installing a spiral staircase in the speaker's office so lawmakers could more easily reach other offices one floor below. At one stage, Assembly staff contacted the architectural division of the state Department of Administration about building the staircase and a passageway between two offices, according to a spokeswoman for the department.
Vos said the idea of building a staircase was quickly rejected. »Read Full Article(89)

Lawmakers wants to ban robocalls
Green Bay - Remember all those annoying robocalls during election season? So does one Green Bay lawmaker, who wants the calls banned.
Democratic state Sen. Dave Hansen says he's drafting legislation to ban political robocalls in Wisconsin. He says he wants to end nuisance calls that he says don't even make a difference in changing voters' minds.
A Green Bay Press-Gazette report says political robocalls aren't restricted under state and national Do Not Call registries the way telemarketing calls are. So even if you request that your name be removed from a political call list, campaigns aren't required to comply.
Michael Kraft teaches political science at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He says he's not sure a ban would work, in part because campaign strategists seem to believe robocalls are effective. (14)

New director, Scrooge give Milwaukee Rep's 'Christmas Carol" a true spirit
In its just-released December issue, American Theatre magazine suggests that, for all its popularity in theaters throughout the country, "A Christmas Carol" may be getting tired.
Such an observation hits home when your "Carol" has been staged for 37 consecutive years. But as four different adaptations and 10 different Scrooges attest, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's "Carol" hasn't survived that long by standing still.
While this year's "Carol" sticks with the excellent adaptation by Joseph Hanreddy and Edward Morgan, new "Carol" director Aaron Posner and first-time Scrooge Christopher Donahue have given this chestnut a radically new feel, while remaining true to the spirit of our greatest English novelist. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Art Museum announces acquisition for AIDS Day
The Milwaukee Art Museum has acquired a new work of art in recognition of World AIDS Day, which is today.
"Live HIV" by internationally recognized artist Taryn Simon, purchased with funds provided by philanthropist Joseph Pabst, will be placed on view on Dec. 1 each year to commemorate AIDS Day.
The photograph of a vial containing live HIV virus, taken in a research lab at Harvard University, is part of Simon's An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar series, which documents objects and places that are rarely seen by the public but play a significant role in public life.
Pabst said he was moved when he saw the work, included in a Taryn Simon retrospective at the Milwaukee Art Museum last year, and described it as a "stunning reminder of the millions of people who live with HIV, and those who have lost their battle." »Read Full Blog Post(6)
