I absolutely LOVE this pizza. It's a few blocks from my office and I go here WAY too often. For $5, you get two cheese slices and a soda, can't beat it for lunch! I know this is just a little shop on Remsen Street, but it is definitely the best NY slice I've had. I can't really speak about their specialty pizzas, but for a plain slice of cheese, this place can't be beat. Whenever I get pizza somewhere else, I compare it to here, and I'm almost always disappointed. It's the best! I'm still smiling from the lunch I just ate. Yum yum yum.

Don't get the chicken parm sandwich. Don't know about the rest of the menu, but this sandwich is to be avoided. The chicken was very dry, very little sauce and the bread was burned (as well as his finger). and it only took twenty minutes! won't be going here for food again.

it's deceptive because it's just this pizza place on remsen st. it gets better all the time. the ingredients are extremely fresh. it's also very reasonably priced. the dough is quite delicious and the sauce fresh and tasty only i wish added more sauce to the slices of pizza. a great take out place. we ordered a pie and they sent as a gift a bunch of warm chocolate chip cookies. whenever my buddies come over for poker, they insist we call in for a few pies. i think this place is a keeper.

I was looking for a pizza place that delivered in Brooklyn and also accepted credit cards. Wi-Pie did both and the reviews were pretty good. I ordered 20 pies to be delivered the next day. I spoke to the manager who was so helpful and pleasant. The pies arrived on time and hot with a complimentary platter of delicious fresh baked cookies. The pizza was very very good. I will definitely be a regular customer

I really love the eggplant parm. I ordered a hero last night. Ate half then, and am eating the other half for breakfast, as I type. The sauce is delicious, a little spicy and garlicy and the eggplant doesn't taste like it's been fried in 3-month-old oil that's never been filtered. Plus, it was less that $6! My friends got a chicken roll and personal pizza. I didn't try them, but they both said they were satisfied. Will order again!

Ordered a pepperoni pie, caesar salad and garlic knots tonight to give Wi-Pie a try. The delivery man arrived quickly and was friendly. The pie was large, looked attractive. The salad and knots looked good too, plenty of garlic and parsley on the knots and the salad was fresh w/ large slices of parm. Everything smelled great. I was not blown away by the pizza. It was delicious and filled that pizza-void, but it was nothing mind-blowing. Perfect amount of cheese and pepperoni, though the pie was a little underdone for my taste as I like it crispy. Also, the sauce is definitely unique. It has a zip to it, maybe sweet, slightly tangy, not bad just unique. I would order Wi-Pie again, however it will not replace my "go to" option.

I don't know what the delivery man did on way over to my apt, but the pizza had slid to one side of the box and some of the slices were folded over - not a very appetizing sight. Oh , and it was lukewarm. The crust was thick and doughy, the tomato sauce was too sweet, and the cheese was mediocre. I am crossing this place off my list.

Not to add to the pizza wars, but has anyone tried Two Boots in Echo Park?
Apparently this is a popular joint in NY and they opened up their first LA location in Echo Park. My friend from NY swears by their pizzas. My personal all time favorite pizza is Lombardi's b/c of their use of fresh mozzarella and of course, that coal burning oven. I've tried the likes of Mulberry's, Vitos, John's, but my favorite NY style pizza in LA so far is Brownstone Pizza in Eagle Rock. Can anyone comment on how Two Boots stacks ups against these??
Quick CH search on Two Boots
I used to eat at the East Village NYC location a couple times a week, however, i did live about 2 blocks away. i don't mind the cornmeal crust, but i can see how some people may be turned off by it. the pie w/ crawfish meat was the best, IMO. i'd put it in the "good if you're in the neighborhood" category.
This place was mediocre by NYC standards - I lived around the corner and there were at least a half dozen better options in the 'hood. The Louisiana meets Italy theme never did it for me although the Cajun/Italian hybrid may be a better fit for fusion-crazy California.
Now that I live relatively close to this new Two Boots, I'm not particularly tempted to try it. I'm sticking with Il Capriccio, Tomato Pie or Garage.
re: JeMange
thanks for the feedback. I was planning on stopping by on my way home tonight and pick up a pie but maybe I won't anymore. I wish Brownstone was a bit closer to me in Los Feliz.
I frequented the place when i lived in NYC and loved it. I stick to the regular cheese. The cornmeal crust and slight spice to the sauce make this one of my favorites in Manhattan. I haven't tried the echo park location yet, but if it's consistent with the village/grand central station locations, I'd recommend it. I'm not really into the topping varieties, so i can't vouch for those.
Tried it out last weekend. Had the Bayou Beast (andoullie, jalapeno, shrimp, crayfish) which was my old standby in NY. Pretty much matched up but the shrimp was a bit undercooked and the crust was close but not exactly the same (chalk it it up to the old water argument if you're so inclined). Also, prices were the same or perhaps even more than their NY locations - no recession specials here.
Two Boots was never transcendentally good pie but they've got unique toppings and the cornmeal crust can be a nice switch. Ultimately, it probably doesn't merit going out of your way for but if you're passing by you could do worse than pick up a pie from them.
re: mrgreenbeenz
I used to live in NYC, while two boots isn't typical nyc style pizza like Lombardi's or Grimaldi's it is good. It's a spicy pizza with a tangy sauce. It's not bad I had a it many times in NYC it's good with sweet sausage IMO :). Definitely worth a try.

A new hot mutual fund company you've probably never heard if is becoming harder to ignore.
Virtus Investment Partners reported stellar third quarter earnings last week sending shares to record highs of $104. The Hartford, Conn-based mutual fund company said earnings per share were $1.43, way above the consensus of $1.29 reflecting lower expenses and higher non-operating income.
Assets continued to grow at the multi-manager firm ending the quarter with $41.9 billion, up 8% thanks to market gains and net inflows. Virtus saw net new assets of $1.8 billion in the September-ending quarter up from $1.4 billion in net new assets in the previous quarter.
Total revenue of $72.0 million in the third quarter increased 30% from $55.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, and 8% from $66.8 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Shares of Virtus are up 9% since Wednesday when the company reported earnings after the bell. Shares closed at $104.18 today–that's up from $11 in 2009 when Virtus was spun off from insurer Phoenix Companies.
Sandler O'Neill analyst Michael Kim calls the quarter a "blowout" adding that the company "remains well positioned to continue to generate best-in-class growth" Kim raised his price target by $10 to $120 following the earnings report and increased ongoing 2012 and 2013 EPS from $4.89/$6.68 to $5.09/$7.07.
"Indeed, our revised 2013 EPS forecast translates into 40%+ Y/Y growth, nearly 3x the 15% average for the group," he writes in a note.
Virtus has been enjoying a significant success since spinning out from Phoenix Companies on Dec. 31, 2008, just as financial markets neared their depths. Before the spinoff Virtus' assets had shrunk to $20 billion, but CEO George Aylward stepped up and successfully spun the company off and has since built a diversified team of affiliated and unaffiliated fund managers.
Forbes profiled Virtus back in August when the firm's assets stood at around $39 billion and its stock was at $81. "These days it's much easier to run an independent asset management shop than an insurance company, which is all about its balance sheet. Insurers don't understand why we have to pay our portfolio managers and wholesalers the way we do. We're a people-driven business," Aylward told Forbes.
Among its best performing funds are the Virtus Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund run by Newfleet Asset Management and its Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund run by Vontobel Asset Management. Newfleet's fund performance is 7.64% and 6.4% over three and five years respectively. Vontobel's emerging markets fund is up 15% and 2% for the same periods, and 14% year-to-date.
Brokerage firms that sell their products are taking notice. Through August, Virtus has sold $3.5 billion into Merrill, UBS, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, up from $3 billion for all of 2010.
"We maintained our significant organic growth and strong investment performance, and continued to execute on our long-term growth strategy with the launch of five mutual funds and the addition of two affiliated managers," Aylward said about the quarter.

Would You Let Groupon Name Your Baby?
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012
The offer of the day on Groupon isn't half-price diapers or a discounted photo package. It's giving Groupon the privilege of naming your baby for you—using their completely made-up name, Clembough. The price for letting the "official World's Foremost Authority in Baby Naming™" name your baby? A cool grand!
This all-in-good-fun faux deal has already attracted one buyer, but this isn't even the first time that parents have—either for free or for cold, hard cash—let corporations in on their baby naming. There was a family who offered the naming rights to their child for $500,000—and attracted some interest, though ultimately no takers. (Their kid was finally given the name Zane.) But there were others who were more successful. One set of parents, presented in Morgan Spurlock's documentary about the invasiveness of advertising, POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, gave their kid the moniker "GoldenPlaceDotCom Silverman" after the online gambling site paid them just $15,000.
Of course, some parents are willing to offer product placement for absolutely free—especially if it's something they love, or something they covet. That's how you get kids named after luxury products, like Chanel, Porsche, Lexus and Armani. And after all, didn't Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin name their daughter after a computer company? (Or maybe it really was just the fruit….)
At least this Groupon deal doesn't require you to actually name your kid Groupon (though I can't say for sure that "Clembough" is all that big an improvement on a corporate name). But at least you'd be likely to have the only Clembough in your class—as long as the other buyer of the deal doesn't live in your area.
So, what do you think? Would you be willing to give a corporation naming rights to your first born? And is the name "Clembough" worth $1,000 to you?

text: Thayer's tradition of excellence in athletic competition complements a rigorous and challenging academic program. All students, grades six through twelve, can choose to play on interscholastic teams. Although participation on team sports is not a requirement, nearly 90% of our students play at least one sport and many are two- or three-season athletes. Through team sports, students are encouraged to reach their potential in physical fitness, skill development, and teamwork. Sportsmanship, discipline, and leadership are emphasized by coaches at every level. With the expansion of our Health & Wellness Program at the Upper School, we hope to educate our students in skills that will enhance their overall physical fitness and self-esteem. We stress lifelong activities, exercise physiology,and CPR training. Faculty members at Thayer Middle School believe that athletics opportunities at school provide students with skills and interests they can learn now, and continue to develop throughout their lifetimes. Athletics also give students a sense of commitment to the school community. Therefore, the athletic requirement for Middle School students may be fulfilled by participating in either: 1) Intramural & Fitness offerings that include team and lifetime sports activities, fitness, and new games; or 2) interscholastic team sports.

No. 09/418,224, filed Oct. 14, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,311,682, and a Continuation-in-Part of application Ser. No. 09/418,225, filed Oct. 14, 1999, now abandoned which is in turn a Continuation-in-Part of application Ser. No. 09/272,652, filed Mar. 18, 1999 (now abandoned).
This invention relates to paintball guns.
The game of paintball involves participants carrying guns which fire pellets of 'paint' or dye which are fired from the gun and burst upon impact to leave a mark at the point of impact.
Most paintball guns use a pneumatic system for firing the paintballs using compressed air or other gas. More recently, such pneumatically operated guns have begun to be electronically controlled for greater effectiveness.
According to the present invention there is provided a paintball gun including a data link for transferring data to and/or from a remote terminal.
According to the present invention there is further provided electronic apparatus, comprising a paintball gun, a terminal and means for transferring data and/or communicating between the gun and terminal.
A display panel may be mounted on the gun or may be alternatively (or additionally) be situated remote from the gun. For example, the display panel may be a display on a remote terminal such as a computer terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a telephone or many other devices, such as components attached to the gun. Data may be transferred to the panel by a direct (wired link) for example a serial link, USB link or other link, or by a contactless method, such as by infrared communication, radio links (digital or analog), microwave links, or even by telephone/cable internet, etc.
Alternatively, the remote terminal may not have a display. It may simply store and/or process data.
Alternatively, data my be transferred by means of a removable data carrier, such as a smart card, SIM, flash card, a disk or tape or other means between the gun and an external terminal.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
A paintball gun embodying the present invention uses a compressed gas circuit supplied with gas from a gas cylinder to eject projectiles in the form of spheres containing paint which break upon impact. The gun is electronically controlled, typically by a microswitch operated upon by a trigger squeezed by a user's finger and the electronics control the firing mechanism and in particular ensure correct timing. The electronics also enable various different modes of firing, for example a semi-automatic mode in which each trigger actuation causes a projectile to be fired, typically up to 20 times a second, or a fully automatic mode in which a single trigger actuation causes a burst of a selectable number of shots. Other parameters such as dwell time, firing rate, number of bursts per second, and so on are also selectable under the operation of the control electronics. A paintball gun of this type is commercially available as the Angel™ gun manufactured by NPF Limited and reference is made to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/137,641.
A plurality of input buttons 5 a to 5 e are arranged to provide user input to the processor 1 via a user interface 3 and these have several different functions as will be outlined below.
The gun is powered by a battery 6 which is preferably a rechargeable type and which can charge through a battery charger 7 which has a mains input. The battery charger may have means for indicating the approximate charge on the battery.
An integral alphanumeric display unit in the form of an LCD unit 8, driven by an LCD driver circuit 9 is preferably connected to the processor and this displays various types of data and information. Preferably, a back-light 10 is also provided to enable better viewing of the LCD unit but which back-light may be turned off when required. The alphanumeric display need not necessarily be an LCD display. Alternatively, the gun may not have an integral display.
Various other pieces of apparatus, sensors, etc, may be added to the control unit and non-limiting examples of these are shown in FIG. 1. There is shown a temperature sensor 11, a timer 12 and a vibrator 13. The timer 12 can be used for various purposes such as for timing a paintball game and for an alarm function and the vibrator 13 may be used as the alarm indicator for the timer 12. In addition, a data link, such as an infrared link 14 is provided which enables programming of the control unit, or bi-directional data exchange, to take place from a remote PC or other device fitted with a similar infrared unit. Infrared communication devices are well known. A serial link, eg RS232C, radio link or other communications link may also be provided. So called 'blue tooth' technology may be used for radio communication
As shown in
Various values and words are selectably displayed by a six character alphanumeric display 24 and a plurality of fixed words/characters which are illuminated as required. A battery indicator 20 is displayed at all times and goes from blank to full (all four segments displayed). When down to about 25% power level the last segment only is displayed, and this flashes indicating low power status.
A mode indicator 21 displays the mode of firing and may show single characters or numerals such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3 etc. Modes are displayed at all times. The mode of firing can only be changed by one of the normally inaccessible tactile switches 5 d or 5 e. The modes available may be, for example, SEMI: (1 shot; 1 trigger pull), BURSTS: (a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 shot burst per trigger pull), ZIPS (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 shot bursts at a rate of 8.75 shots/sec max). The MROF (Maximum Rate of Fire) function will display 8 when in the ZIP modes.
The vibrator may work in a timer mode for indicating, for example, 5 min intervals by actuating the vibrator for 3 secs. Note: if the 'V' mode is selected the 'V' is displayed on the LCD. Switching the vibratory alarm ON or OFF is selected from a sub-menu function.
Temperature may be displayed in ° F. or ° C. by the main alphanumeric display 24. A temperature icon is only displayed when the menu calls for it. Temp mode can be selected from the menu; Changing from Centigrade to Fahrenheit is selected from the sub-menu.
A trip meter is a shot counter that can be re-zeroed by the consumer. Trip can be selected from the menu. Resetting to zero is selected from the sub-menu.
A ROF (Rate of Fire) function may measure a string of shots over a selected (eg 1 second) period. The first shot starts the counter for 1 second, any shots that occur in that period are registered on the display. Then the display will not accept any input for a 3-second period. During this period the display will also flash before an additional cycle may start. The ROF mode can be selected from the menu. The data is constantly updated and so no sub-menu is required. ROF can also record the shortest time interval between any two shots, which can remain in memory until superseded or deleted. This allows for a peak value of ROF to be viewed later, without fear of interrupting a game.
The display can accordingly display not only a desired rate of fire, but also the rate of fire actually achieved by the user, which can fall well short of the desired rate of fire, or could even exceed it for a very skilled marksman. Furthermore, competition rules may set an upper limit on the rate of fire, and this upper limit may be programmed in and displayed on the LCD display (MROF). More details are set out further below.
To power off the gun a tactile switch on the grip must be held for 1.5 seconds which shows the whole display for 2 seconds. Then the display shows the word "SAFE" and the back light switches OFF. The gun cannot fire in the safe mode but the battery meter is still displayed. An automatic power off function may be provided which powers off the gun if no shots are fired for a predetermined period, e.g. 60 minutes.
A unique ID number may be programmable into the gun by the manufacturers or suppliers. This number may affect, e.g. restrict, the modes it is possible for the gun to be fired in and can render the gun less likely to be stolen.
Numerous fault codes can be displayed, for example Fault 1, F1=Over temp=38° C., F2=Under temp=0° C., and so on. The fault can be selected from the menu. Should more than one fault be present the display will alternate at 2-sec cycles. The faults will only clear from the display when the fault condition is removed.
Dwell time may be displayed, e.g. in millisecs=e.g. 0:20=20 ms. Dwell is changed via a tactile button and scrolls from 12 ms to 25 ms.
MROF displays the rate of fire as shots per sec, e.g. 12=12 shots/sec. MROF may be selected from the menu but can only be changed via one of the normally inaccessible tactile buttons on the board. In one embodiment the range is 5 to 20 shots per second.
Note: If a mode of fire has a preset rate this will be displayed under the MODE function and cannot be adjusted whilst in that mode.
A cycles counter is a grand total shot counter that cannot be reset by the consumer, only by the suppliers of the gun or other authorised person.
A TRIP counter is provided, which is a shot counter that can be zeroed by the user or consumer.
A timer is a countdown timer which can, for example, count down from 60 min. At the end of the count the vibrator alarm may be activated for 10 seconds. The timer can be set in 5-min increments, i.e. OFF, 5, 10, 15 etc. A sub-menu allows changes. The settings must remain in the memory even after power has been removed.
The display may also indicate test modes and a BACKLIGHT ON symbol 22 is included. Additional functions displayable include, inter alia, velocity, average velocity, gas pressure and gas usage, for example.
In one embodiment DWELL, MROF, MODE and TIMER functions are stored in non-volatile memory since these settings must be retained even when power is removed.
Many other parameters of the gun's operation, or of a game being played (score, timer functions, etc) may be displayed.
The gun may alternatively not have an integral display at all. If it does not have an integral display, or even if it does have a display, the data-link 14 may be used to communicate with an external terminal, preferably for displaying information at the remote terminal. The term 'terminal' is to be construed widely, and non-limiting examples of terminals are shown schematically in FIG. 3. Others will be apparent.
The terminal could be a PC or other computer or computer terminal 60. Other items shown by way of example include hand-held devices 61, such as palm-top computers, PDAs, mobile telephones and so on. A watch 62 or other wearable device could be a terminal. A display mounted on a gas regulator (shown attached to a gas canister 64) could be used. A display may be mounted on a stock 65 or on a fore grip 66 or paint-ball hopper 67. A display may be mounted 'head-up' style in a face mask, goggles or other safety equipment which would normally be worn by a user of a paintball gun.
The terminal may indeed be another gun, so that users can communicate and transfer data between each other.
The external terminal may be used to simply download information to regarding the progress and results of a game and/or the gun's operation or performance, or to upload information, programming data or software upgrades to a gun, in which case it will generally be connected after or before a game. Alternatively, or in addition, it can be used to display parameters relating to the gun's operation or an ongoing game, preferably in real-time.
The connection with an external terminal (display) may be wired connections, such as RS 232 connections, USB connections, IEEE 1394 (firewire), or other types. It could alternatively be by a wireless method such as infrared or radio. Many radio protocols are available or will be available and one such protocol is known as 'blue tooth'. Connections may also be made over LANS, WANS or by any telecommunication system or over the internet for example. By fitting a modem or an ISDN adaptor or other suitable interface, the gun may be connected to the internet or telecommunications system. The nature and operation of such systems is known to those skilled in the art, and will not be discussed in detail.
Instead of directly transferring data, the data may be transferred on a data carrier.
The gun may be one with or without a display 8. The carrier may be removed from the gun when desired and used to input data into a cooperating means associated with a terminal. For example, if the carrier is a smart card, then a smart card reader can be integrated or connected to any terminal (PC, PDA, watch, gas regulator, gun components, etc).
With a data carrier, the manufacturer or supplier of a gun can easily provide product (software) upgrades or view or supply various types of information.
Among the features which may be monitored and/or displayed locally and/or remotely are:
Temperature (working and ambient)
Dwell (value opening time)
ROF (rate of fire achieved)
MROF (maximum rate of fire limit)
Dwell (time of value opening)
Modes (style of shooting, semi auto etc)
Pressures (working pressures)
Battery Condition
Cycles (total shots fired)
Trip (resettable shot counter)
Backlighting (for improved visibility)
Vibrator (timer alarm)

Namco Bandai: Athletic World
With the unexpected success of Wii, there are multitudes of titles that plan to get gamers moving.
Three of the top contenders yet to be released in North America are Sports Island from Hudson Soft, Nintendo's Wii Fit, and Athletic World from Namco Bandai.
According to Namco producer Sayaki Mori his product is the only one take full advantage of both the hands and the feet.
When it comes to Wii Fit, you use the feet. When it comes to DecaSporta, "you just use the Wiimote and that's it. But with this one, you use both," he told Gamasutra.
"It's a combination between the mat and the Wiimote. So that's the differentiation factor. And I'm pretty sure that this will be the only game out that uses a mat and a Wiimote at the same time."
When challenged with the fact that Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party does indeed use both peripherals at once, localization producer Naotaka Higashiyama responded: "The concept of the game is different."
Athletic World is scheduled to be released in 2008.

A Good Day to Die Hard (and kill a Franchise?)

Die Hard 5 is abysmal. An embarassment to a franchise that should have remained a trilogy. Willis was a bit part in his own film, just running around yelling 'Jack' or 'I'm on vacation!' (hilarious -not). I couldn't even grab a few mins shut eye in the cinema, because most of the film is subtitled! The action staging was atrocious, constant zooming in to create a false sense of urgency. Over the top automobile destruction, with Mclane walking away unscathed. Ridiculous. Lame villains, convoluted plot, no sense of danger, pathetically (but mercifully) short run time...i could go on.
I thought LFADH was just about passable as a belated, but unecessary addition to the series. A Good Day to Die Hard ain't even fit to kiss that film's boots. Biggest turkey I've seen in a long time. Hopefully, Bruce Willis (and Arnie + Sly), will retire from the action genre and either do more character pieces (ala Sixth Sense / Unbreakable), or step behind the camera. Rating - 1/10..and that 1 is for the musical score only.

Apple received 'cease & desist' over 1984 ad
updated 10:20 am EDT, Mon April 2, 2007
Apple's 1984 spoof redux
The political anti-Hilary Clinton spoof based on Apple's legendary 1984 television ad may be violating copyright laws and could face a lawsuit from the copyright holders of George Orwell's classic novel '1984'. Rosenblum Productions, which acquired the rights to the Orwellian imagery, said that it is "monitoring the situation," but was unclear whether it was focusing on the creator of the video, YouTube, or both parties. The company, however, said that it has defended its rights successfully at least twice before, including a cease and desist to Apple over the original SuperBowl ad more than 20 years ago. "When the Apple 'Big Brother' television commercial was aired during the 1984 Super Bowl telecast, we immediately objected to this unauthorized commercial use of the novel, and sent a 'cease-and-desist' letter both to Apple and to its ad agency," said Gina Rosenblum, president of Rosenblum Productions. "The commercial never aired on television again."

Concerning my ability to stay afloat in 10 feet of water:
COLUMBIA CITY — Several of Whitley County's youngest leaders received a boost recently thanks to the support of Operation RoundUP and Northeastern REMC.
Leadership Whitley County's Young Adult Inititaive was awarded $900 in grant funds to provide partial scholarships for each of the Whitley County High School students participating in the program.
Full tuition to the program is $600. Since incorporating students in the program two years ago, LWC has worked to partner with local supporters in an effort to offset the cost of tuition to the students.
COLUMBIA CITY — A company that received financial incentives from Columbia City has been permitted to move out of city limits without penalty.
Warner Electric received city CEDIT money to help finance growth in 2009.
A provision of that agreement was to keep the company within the city limits.
Alan Tio, president of the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation, along with a representative of the company, were on hand at Tuesday's Common Council meeting, informing city leaders that Warner Electric would be moving to the former USSI Building, just outside of Columbia City.
CHURUBUSCO — Numerous would-be musicians dream of forming a band that will become the next sensation on the music scene. When Taylor Fredricks started playing guitar, his dream was much the same.
Although his partnership with some small-town musicians was unexpected, Fredricks and three Churubusco natives came together to form the Taylor Fredricks Band.
COLUMBIA CITY — A woman accused of selling drugs out of a hotel room pleaded guilty in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday.
Arethra Wheeler, 32, admitted her guilt to maintaining a common nuisance, a Class D felony. A charge of dealing a Schedule II controlled substance was dismissed.
Wheeler was arrested in September of 2012 for using and selling drugs from a room at the Budget Inn, where she was residing.
As per a plea agreement, Wheeler will receive a two-year sentence for her crime, with one year to serve at the Whitley County Jail, and another year suspended.
Roland Glen Grable, 64, of Anderson, passed away Monday, July 22, 2013.
He is the son of the late Robert Gene and Shirlely Martha Grable.
He was formerly of Columbia City, and was employed at Dana Weatherhead for 23 years.
He served in the U.S. Army for three years, stationed in Germany and Vietnam.
Selections have been made for The Post & Mail's 2012-13 Athlete of the Year.
The announcement is being made today in a special section published today in the "Athletes of the Year" tabloid.
The special section will also feature all of The Post & Mail's Athletes of the Week and honorable mentions from the 2012-13 seasons.
Honorable Mention Athletes of the Year and two Mental Attitude winners will also be named in the publication.
COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County Consolidated Schools will offer online registration for the 2013-14 school year. It will no longer be necessary for parents to visit their child's school for registration.
Parents and guardians will be able to complete all the necessary registration forms online, through a web interface. They will also have the option to pay their child's book bill online.
Awards were presented to various 4-H clubs for the barns in which the groups utilize.
Whitley County 4-H Council members Jennifer Lilly and Val Wietfeldt passed out the awards July 16.
Pictured are representatives of the Horse & Pony club and the Blue Ribbon designation earned.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City Police Chief Tim Longenbaugh updated the Board of Works and Public Safety concerning recent events in town.
Calling it a busy week, the chief informed the board about the latest details concerning a chemical fire and high-speed police chase.
Longenbaugh said he received an e-mail from Cathy Broxon-Ball, head of the county's emergency management. The two will schedule a debriefing to review the chemical fire at C&R Plating in Columbia City.

Michael Gerson conducts a must-read interview with Charlie Cook. In addition to predictions of a massive GOP wave, there is this discussion about Obama and the Democratic agenda:
Question: What lessons should Obama's aides take away from these likely political reverses?
"It was the political aides," counters Cook, "who lost the arguments. Rahm [Emanuel] knew they should cut a deal on health care, get to the economy." But Obama held a different view of himself and his presidency. "He had already been first at everything. He wanted to be something other than the first — to be historical, game-changing, to have grand influence like FDR or LBJ. But he missed out on the day job," which was jobs and economic growth.
Some, Cook says, "are told all their lives that they are the most brilliant people on the planet. They don't get less bright, but hubris kicks in. [Obama] just assumed that he was going to be a success, as he had always been in life."
According to Cook, this reflects a lack of experience. "Experience is not an end, it is a means to an end: judgment." Cook said that a few years in the Senate "don't give an understanding of institutions and their dynamics. If [Obama] had been in the Senate six or eight years, he might have accumulated the wisdom to match the intelligence."
That's about as devastating a critique as you are going to get from a neutral observer. Obama's arrogance got the better of him; he knew better than everyone and will now pay the price.
But there was more going on than simply picking the wrong agenda items or refusing to temper his own ego. Obama's ideological rigidity and policy preferences ran headlong into Americans' skepticism about big government and their sense of moral outrage. The Tea Party is a movement grounded in the belief in limited government. But it was also born out of a sense that we have lost track of fundamental values — thrift, discipline, and humility, for starters — and as a result are seeing irresponsible spending, massive debt, and liberal statism.
Obama did not listen to the health-care town-hall attendees or to the voters of New Jersey, Virginia, or Massachusetts. Why should he? He didn't pay attention to more sober-minded aides, polls, or his own nervous congressional allies. His absolute certainty in his own vision combined with his lack of understanding of the American polity and substantive policy (from economics to the Middle East). As his poll ratings and party's electoral prospects continue to dive, he reacts with annoyance at the rubes in America who fail to appreciate his brilliance. Will such a president actually reverse course after an election? I have my doubts.

Mansfield Waits 121 Years For 2nd Night Game
By editor
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
In 1892, Mansfield University held the first night football game. Brand-new electric lights illuminated the field, just not very well. Squinting in the darkness, players tackled their own teammates and even the ref. Mansfield abandoned night games until this past Saturday, then the Pennsylvania school defeated Princeton. The athletic director says the 121-year pause between night games allowed time to work out the bugs.

About Freya Njordsdotter, Princess of the Swedes
From Ynglingesoga, section 4-10:
Father: Njord
Mother: Sister of Njord
Husband: Od
Daughters: Noss and Gjerseme
From Wikipedia:
'In Norse mythology, Freyja (Old Norse the "Lady") is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr, war, and death. Freyja is the owner of the necklace Brísingamen, rides a chariot driven by two cats, owns the boar Hildisvíni, possesses a cloak of falcon feathers, and, by her husband Óðr, is the mother of two daughters; Hnoss and Gersemi. Along with her brother Freyr (Old Norse the "Lord"), her father Njörðr, and her mother (unnamed in sources), she is a member of the Vanir. Stemming from Old Norse Freyja, modern forms of the name include Freya, Freja, Freyia, and Freia.' -------------------- Freyja (sometimes anglicized as Freya), cognate to Sanskrit Priya, is a major goddess in Norse Paganism, a subset of Germanic Paganism. Because the documented source of this religious tradition, the Norse Mythology, was transmitted and altered by Christian medieval historians, the actual role, heathen practices and worship of the goddess are uncertain.
In the Eddas, Freya is portrayed as a goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Blonde, blue-eyed, and beautiful, Freyja is described as the fairest of all goddesses, and people prayed to her for happiness in love. She was also called on to assist childbirths and prayed to for good seasons.
Freyja was also associated with war, battle, death, magic, prophecy, and wealth. She is cited as receiving half of the dead lost in battle in her hall Fólkvangr, whereas Odin would receive the other half at Valhalla. The origin of Seid was ascribed to Freyja.
Frigg and Freyja are the two principal goddesses in Norse religion, and described as the highest amongst the Asynjur. Freyja is the goddess most honoured after or along with Frigg, and her worship seems to have been even the more prevalent and important of the two. In the Droplaugarsona Saga, it is described that in a temple at Ölvusvatn, Iceland, statues of Frigg and Freyja have been seated upon higher thrones opposite those of Thor and Freyr. These statues were arrayed in drapery and ornaments of gold and silver.
In Heimskringla, Freyja is also presented as a mythological Princess of Sweden. Her father Njörðr is seen as the second mythological King of Sweden, and her brother Freyr is the third. Freyr and Freyja's mother is Njörðr's sister (who has been often linked to the ancient Germanic goddess Nerthus), as it is a custom of the Vanir and allowed by their laws.
Further in Heimskringla, it is written that many temples and statues of native pagan gods and goddesses were raided and destroyed by Olaf Tryggvason and Saint Olaf during the gradual and violent process of the Christianization of Scandinavia. During and after the extent that the process of Christianization was complete, Freyja and many things associated with her were demonized by the growing influence of Christian missionaries. After Christian influence was cemented in law, traces of belief went increasingly underground into mainly rural areas, surviving into modern times in Germanic folklore and most recently reconstructed to varying degrees in Germanic neopaganism.
Freyja appears in various poems of the Poetic Edda, a compilation of poems composed around the 9th to the 11th century.
Þrymskviða ("The Song of Thrymr") is arguably the best and oldest of all Eddic poems. The poem begins with Thor one day finding his legendary hammer, Mjolnir, stolen. Thor goes with Loki to Fólkvangr to borrow Freyja's hawk's plumage.
Loki then used the feathered cloak to transform into a bird to seek for Thor's hammer. He met Thrymr, King of the Rime Jötuns, who admitted that he had hidden the hammer somewhere, and demanded to marry Freyja in return.
Loki came back to Asgard and went to Fólkvangr again.
Freyja was so wrathful that all the gods' dwellings were shaken and the necklace Brísingamen broke off from her neck
Since Freyja refused, gods and goddesses hold a council. And following Heimdallr's advice, Thor and Loki borrowed Brísingamen. They went to the wedding disguised as "Freyja and her maid", where Thrymr jubilantly welcomed his new bride.
At the banquet, Thrymr was shocked as "Freyja" ate an ox, eight salmon, and drank three casks of mead, but Loki was quick to make lies.
The Jötuns eventually gave "Freyja" the hammer.
Thor took back his hammer, sprang out from his disguise, slew Thrymr and all his kin.
This myth is also recorded in a Swedish folksong called the Thor song (18th Century), where Freyja is called miss Frojenborg, "den väna solen" (the fair sun).
Hyndluljóð ("The Lay of Hyndla") was found only in a late edition of the Poetic Edda (around 1400), where it is preserved in a very poor shape. The poem is in fact two poems mixed up together, the semi-historical "Lay of Hyndla" and another labelled by Snorri as "The lesser Völuspá". The date it was composed is generally accepted as around 12th century. In this poem, Freyja rode on her boar Hildisvini to enlist the help of the giantess Hyndla (She-Dog) to find the pedigree of Óttar, her protégé. Óttar here is maybe another name of Freyja's husband, Óðr.
Freyja arrived at Hyndla's cave and called her to Valhalla. But Hyndla quickly realized that the boar is Óttar in disguise.
Hyndla came with Freyja, riding on a wolf. On the road, Freyja explained her duty, and how Óttar had induced her to help him: "For me he built a hörgr with rocks; those stones are now turned to glass; as he reddened it with fresh blood of cattle".
Hyndla gave a very long list of heroes' names as Óttar's ancestors (this is the main part and purpose of the poem). Freyja then confirmed that the boar is Óttar in disguise. She further requested Hyndla to give Óttar a potion that would enable him to remember all that he had been told. But the giantess refused.
Hyndla was forced to give the memory-mead, but did not forget to curse it first.
Njördr in Nóatún begot afterward children: the son was called Freyr, and the daughter Freyja; they were fair of face and mighty. [...] Freyja is the most renowned of the goddesses; she has in heaven the dwelling called Fólkvangr, and where so ever she rides to the strife, she has one-half of the kill, and Odin half [...]
Her hall Sessrúmnir is great and fair. When she goes forth, she drives her cats and sits in a chariot; she is most conformable to man's prayers, and from her name comes the name of honor, Frú, by which noblewomen are called. Songs of love are well-pleasing to her; it is good to call on her for furtherance in love.
Freyja is most gently born (together with Frigg): she is wedded to the man named Óðr. Their daughter is Hnoss: she is so fair, that those things which are fair and precious are called hnossir. Óðr went away on long journeys, and Freyja weeps for him, and her tears are red gold. Freyja has many names, and this is the cause thereof: that she gave herself sundry names, when she went out among unknown peoples seeking Óðr: she is called Mardöll and Hörn, Gefn, Sýr. Freyja had the necklace Brísingamen. She is also called Lady of the Vanir.
by Micha F. Lindemans
In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses. She is the patron goddess of crops and birth, the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in matters of love. She loves music, spring and flowers, and is particularly fond of the elves (fairies). Freya is one of the foremost goddesses of the Vanir.
She is the daughter of the god Njord, and the sister of Freyr. Later she married the mysterious god Od (probably another form of Odin), who disappeared. When she mourned for her lost husband, her tears changed into gold.
Her attributes are the precious necklace of the Brisings, which she obtained by sleeping with four dwarfs, a cloak (or skin) of bird feathers, which allows its wearer to change into a falcon, and a chariot pulled by two cats. She owns Hildesvini ("battle boar") which is actually her human lover Ottar in disguise. Her chambermaid is Fulla. Freya lives in the beautiful palace Folkvang ("field of folk"), a place where love songs are always played, and her hall is Sessrumnir. She divides the slain warriors with Odin: one half goes to her palace, while the other half goes to Valhalla. Women also go to her hall.

From Norsk mythology
Freyja, Freya - Member of the Vanir who lives with the Æsir, daughter of Njord, sister-consort of Frey.. Her emblem is the necklace Brisingamen. Hers is the magic of reading runes, trancing and casting spells. She is said to have taught Seidh to Odin. She owns a falcon cloak, takes dove form, rides in a chariot drawn by two cats, or rides a boar. As leader of the Valkyries, she takes half those slain in battle and is traditionally associated with death and sexuality. She was married to the God Od, perhaps identical to Odin, who mysteriously disappeared.Freya had two daughters, Hnoss and Gersimi, with Od. She weeps tears of gold, which become amber, called "Freyja's Tears". Her name means "The Lady".
Freya is the daughter of Niord and his sister. She is the sister to Frey. Her husband's name is Od, and he is missing. For this reason, she cries tears of amber and gold for him. Her daughters' names are Hnoss and Gersemi.
Freya animal is the cat. She has two of them pulling her chariot. With this, she rides over battlefields and chooses half of the slain for her hall. Hildisvini is the name of her boar.
She has a necklace called Brisingamin, which she received for the sexual services she gave four dwarves. This is an example of her security in her sexuality, for she is also the goddess of sexual pleasure.
Freya teaches Odin the seidhr magick practiced by women. Seidhr magick was that which she taught to women as Gulliveg before the First War (that between Aesir and Vanir).
As an example to the Queens of Sweden and Denmark, Freya serves mead to the slain in Valhalla. She is also the goddess of love poetry.
From http://www.timelessmyths.com/norse/vanir.html
Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, magic, war and death. Freyja was the daughter of Njörd (Njord) and Njörd's nameless sister (possibly Nertheus?). She was the sister of Freyr. Like her brother and father, she was originally a Vanir goddess, but she would later become an important goddess of the Aesir.
She was sometimes confused with Frigg, wife of Odin, since both of their names mean "Lady". Frigg sometimes also had the same attributes as Freyja. Another goddess, she was sometimes was confused with, was Idun, the Keeper of the Apple of Youth.
In several aspects, she and her brother were like the Greek deities Artemis and Apollo. They were twins; her brother was a god of light, like Apollo. Since she was Vanir goddess, Freyja was a goddess of fertility like Artemis (fertility of the wild animals). Unlike Artemis, who was also seen as virgin goddess, Freyja was also the goddess of love and sex.
Freyja was described as an extremely beautiful goddess, blonde and blue eyes. Like Aphrodite, Freyja was the goddess of love and beauty. Freyja married a god named Od or Odur, and became mother of two daughters, Nossa or Hnossa, and Gersimi (both daughters' names mean "Jewel"). However Od had mysteriously disappeared. She wandered the earth, searching for husband, weeping tears of gold. (Od may have been another name for Odin).
After her husband (Od) had abandoned her or disappeared on her, she became the most promiscuous of all goddesses; she was probably the goddess of sex rather than of fertility. She had many love affairs, with gods, human, elves and even dwarves. Freyja was often seen as the mistress of Odin. Loki had accused her of sleeping with every gods in Asgard and all the elves in Alfheim (Poetic Edda's Lokasenna). Loki had even accused her of sleeping with her brother Freyr. Freyja and her brother were husband and wife when they were living in Vanaheim (land of the Vanir), just like their father with an unnamed sister. As I understand it, incest was normal practice among the Vanir deities, but the Aesir frown upon incest.
Freyja was much sought after by the giants. The giants, Hrimthurs and Thrym, both wanted to marry Freyja. Thor had killed both giants.
Unlike Aphrodite, but like the Greek goddesses, Athena and Persephone, she was the goddess of war and death. Freyja enjoyed combat and battle. She ride into the battlefield, where she received half of the fallen heroes in combat; the other half goes to Odin in Valhalla. These warriors stayed in her great hall, Fólkvangar ("battlefield"), within her palace Folkvang ("Field of Folk"). Her other hall was the Sessrumnir.
She had a great love for gold. Her most prized possession was the necklace Brísingamen. She received the necklace by sleeping with four dwarves known as the Brisings (their name were possibly Alfrigg, Berling, Dvalin and Grerr). Odin was disgusted by her sexual promiscuity that he sent Loki to steal the Brísingamen. The gatekeeper of Asgard, Heimdall, who had great vision, saw the theft. He pursued Loki and recovered the necklace for Freyja. In a later version, Odin would only return the Brísingamen, on the condition that she starts wars in the world of men. See the Brisings.
Freyja received other gifts as well, such as a cloak of bird feathers (allowing her to transform herself into a falcon), and her chariot drawn by two cats. Another of her favourite animals was the pigs or boars. Her human lover Ottar disguised himself as a battle boar with golden bristles, known as Hildesvini. She was sometimes called Sr (sow), an epithet. She was also known to have wandered the countryside at night, in the form of a she-goat.
She was also the goddess witchcraft, a disreputable kind of magic called seidr (seior). Her love of gold and the witchcraft she practised, may have resulted in the confusion, surrounding her with another Vanir goddess, named Gullveig and the witch Heid, the reincarnation of Gullveig.

Dear Editor:
Last fall I attended a series of lectures at Goose Creek City Hall entitled The History of Goose Creek presented by Mayor Michael Heitzler. He shared the stories and folklore of our community in such a way that I was filled with pride and admiration.
Our very rich history of the Colonial Times, from its traders of the 17th century to the plantation society, and the many estates, was a wonderful surprise. This was reflected and enhanced by audience interjections of personal families histories.
So, I would encourage anyone who is raising a family in this lovely community to make time to attend this series at a future presentation. I wish I had had this information to pass on to my children.

What Exactly Are Flying Pancakes? [VIDEO]
Cars 108 is kicking off Back To The Bricks weekend with a free 'flying' pancake breakfast in Downtown Flint on Friday, August 15th from 7am until 9am.
Cars 108 is kicking off Back To The Bricks weekend with a free 'flying' pancake breakfast in Downtown Flint on Friday, August 15th from 7am until 9am.
The City of Flint has announced a special curfew for kids and teens during Back to the Bricks week.
There will be three Back to the Bricks cars shows this year after organizers announced Mt. Pleasant and Cadillac will host their own Back to the Bricks extravaganzas.
This year's Back To The Bricks was a huge success. It was great to see tens of thousands of people flock to Saginaw Street enjoying the classic vehicles, many made right here in Flint.
There were literally thousands of vintage cars to see at Back to the Bricks this past week. My wife and I got up early Saturday morning and got in a 10-mile run along the Flint River trail. We ended up in downtown Flint for some early action at Back to the Bricks.
Yes I know you can't drive this in the Rolling Cruise with Back To The Bricks. After you watch the video I'm sure you'll agree that it is as unusual as some of the cars you'll see in Flint this weekend.
Take a look for yourself.
I put my Pine Wood Derby racer together last night at Thomas Appliance in Grand Blanc. It's free to kids 18 and under. Yea I know I'm not 18, they made a special exception for me because I started to act up.
You can get yours there this afternoon starting at five.
Thousands upon thousands of people flock to Flint every year to experience "Back To The Bricks," and this year promises to be the biggest yet! For those of you who are visiting Flint for the first time, we have come up with five things that you have to do while in Vehicle City!
We had a blast at last year's 'Bricks Flicks!" The feature was "Back To The Future," and several DeLoreans lined the front of the screen. Tonight's film will be the original 'Footloose,' and I am sure there will be plenty of feet at the US-23 Drive-In on Fenton Road.
Back to the Bricks in downtown Flint means all sorts of fun for the entire family. Here's a schedule of all the fun this week.
Fenech Pictures
There is no doubt that Back to the Bricks has become one of, if not he biggest event in Flint. I am pleased to announce that this year's events have already begun!
We hope you and your family had a chance to be a part of Back to The Bricks this year. It's shaping up to be a record year for attendance, despite the Saturday night rain out. We did something a little different this year at Cars 108. Our video department was out all week with a camera catching all the action of Back To The Bricks 2011. Take the jump and see if you're in our video.

Why is the only American to go to prison over torture the man who blew the whistle on it?
President Obama and John Kiriakou share the belief that torture — and waterboarding in particular — runs counter to American ideals and values. Yet, as soon as Kiriakou began denouncing the CIA's interrogation program in public, the government turned its sights on him.
Firedoglake put together a petition calling on President Obama to pardon John Kiriakou that has collected over 15,000 signatures in less than one week — but we need more voices if we hope to get the president's attention. We put together this YouTube ad to recruit supporters into the campaign, and we need your support to get it in front of as many people as possible.
It's worth noting that the president's war on whistleblowers and activists is destroying lives — from Pfc. Bradley Manning's inhumane and lengthy pretrial confinement, to potentially pushing Aaron Swartz to commit suicide. Now they want to send to prison the guy who spoke out against the brutal and inhumane treatment of detainees — not those who actually authorized or meted out torture.
Intense public outcry against the incarceration of John Kiriakou is our best hope at saving him from a similar fate and preventing the overzealous prosecution of others. We need to call attention to the grave injustice that puts the whistleblower behind bars before the torturer.
As Kiriakou told FDL investigative reporter Kevin Gosztola, "I am proud that I stood up to our government. I stood up for what I believed was right conviction or no conviction. I mean they can convict anybody of anything if they put their minds to it, but I wear this as a badge of honor. I am not a criminal. I am a whistleblower. The thing that I blew the whistle on is now the law of the land. Torture is illegal and it's officially abandoned in our country and I'm proud to have had a role in that."
Please donate $10+ to run this ad and call on President Obama to pardon John Kiriakou.

Arrow Strikes St. Louis Granny As She Sits Inside Home Eating Donuts
Categories: Criminally Stupid, Media
|Margaret Shofner: Arrow survivor.
Shofner was babysitting her great-grandchild yesterday morning in St. John when an arrow came crashing through the kitchen window and lodged into her face, just above her lip. Shofner was eating a donut (chocolate) at the time and didn't seek medical treatment for a full hour -- until her grandson returned home.
"I pulled it (the arrow) out and laid it on the table. That's when I realized what it was," says Shofner, who retold her story to news crews yesterday while seated in her living room recliner.
All three stations (KTVI, KMOV and KSDK) ran with the story at the top of their 10 p.m. newscasts, with their interviews of Shofner almost perfectly synced. You could literally switch back and forth between the channels and follow the entire story.
Police in the north-county suburb of St. John arrested nearby resident Robert Joiner, 26, charging him with second-degree assault and armed criminal action. Joiner was practicing archery with a compound bow in his backyard when the arrow ricocheted off a hay bale and went flying into his neighbor's window.
Joiner was oblivious to what happened and was still in his backyard shooting arrows an hour after the incident when police showed up to inform him of what occurred. Last night Joiner posted bail on a $25,000 bond.
*Yes, technically there are five St. Louis stations with local newscasts, but KPLR and KDNL's stories originate from KTVI and KSDK, respectively.

What's in a name: Miles Grove Avenue
Where is it?
Miles Grove Avenue is in Lake City, west of Lake Street (Route 18) and just off Hall Avenue.
What's the story?
Miles outside of Erie, you'll find yet more Miles to discover.
The Miles family first settled in Concord Township in southern Erie County, then moved closer to Union City in 1801 where William Miles established several mills.
William Miles' son, James Miles, bought 1,600 acres in Girard Township, close to the mouth of Elk Creek, according to "Nelson's Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Erie County, Pennsylvania, Vol. II."
As a village began to take shape and flourish in the area, which was close to the railroad, it became known as Miles Grove.
Later, James Miles, an associate Erie County judge from 1851 to 1856, built a large mansion near the village.
-- Lindsey Poisson

Ramacher. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Sandra Ramacher
When you wake up to who you have been
Remember then that you were seen
By a mind unconditionally clear
And not clouded by judgment or fear
Remember then the step you spent behind
Is only one of the three
That took you two steps forward in time
Should our paths cross again
I hope you remember who you are now
And who you were then
And above all find yourself in a place
Where you can accept all your mistakes
With love and good grace

|The aim of this course is to explore molecular aspects of nutrition, metabolism and endocrinology which are of great practical significance to maintenance of a healthy population both in the UK and elsewhere. We begin by investigating the role of vitamins, a subject that has returned to centre stage in terms of health in which fact and fiction will be clearly separated. The current epidemic of obesity and diabetes will be explored and also the lesser understood metabolic syndrome which affects a very high percentage of our population. For the first time we introduce new key topics such as protein energy malnutrition and nutrient -gene interactions. The importance of iron and trace metals will be presented at a molecular level. A new hormone, ghrelin, will be presented for the first time in the course and also details of growth hormone secretagogues. As in the past, we will deal with steroid hormones and congenital hyperplasia as an example of dysfunction. The subject of osteoporosis is of increasing importance to the health of the elderly and will be explained in full.
