Genetic tests help family fight cancer
When Mirrin Reagan was 30 years old, a possible breast cancer diagnosis was the last thing on her mind. Mammograms were recommended for most women 10 years older than Reagan.
However, Reagan's life changed that year when she discovered a lump in her breast during a self-exam. Her doctor confirmed that she had breast cancer. Her diagnosis was the latest in a long family history of cancer.
"First, my paternal grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32 and again at 52," Reagan said. "Then, my Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 42, followed by my father's diagnosis for prostate cancer at age 52, which returned with a vengeance."
Reagan's father also had been confirmed as a carrier of a mutation to a gene, BRCA2, which increased his risk of cancer. Reagan learned his status three months before she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two days after her diagnosis, she learned that she carried the same mutation.
"I inherited my BRCA2 gene mutation from my father," said Reagan. "At age 68, he died of prostate cancer in March."
According to the American Cancer Society, about 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are linked to genetic risk factors, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. But medical experts still advise families to know whether they have these risk factors, which can greatly increase a person's risk of cancer. Knowledge of genetic risk can help patients be proactive about screening and make informed decisions about medical treatment, whether before or after a diagnosis of cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute, a woman's risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she inherits a harmful mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Additionally both men and women who have harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations may be at increased risk of additional types of cancer.
As a nurse practitioner, Reagan knew about the medical research on gene mutations and how they affect an entire family's cancer risk. With all the medical clues on her father's side of the family, Reagan began researching the science of genetic testing and how it affected her family's treatment options.
That research became very important when Reagan's cousin, Stacy, discovered that she, too, carried the BRCA2 mutation.
"For my cousin Stacy, knowledge of her positive BRCA gene mutation status was before any cancer had been diagnosed," said Reagan. "She was able to initiate breast surveillance with MRIs and mammograms every six months. When Stacy was 38, an abnormal cluster of cells was found in one of her breasts."
After considering her family medical history and gene mutation, Stacy decided to have a bilateral mastectomy and avoid chemotherapy and radiation.
"Stacy went through this journey on her own terms," said Reagan. "Knowledge of her gene status and her ability to receive close surveillance saved [her life] and a lot of money. It is far less expensive to have one simple test, have prophylactic surgery versus the cost of cancer treatment."
Medical experts stress that a prophylactic mastectomy is not an automatic cancer cure and may not be the best choice for every woman at risk of breast cancer. Otis Brawley, M.D., chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, wrote in May that when a woman is facing a combination of risk factors, removing the breasts can be a sound decision.
"Women with BRCA mutations associated with a high risk of breast cancer, confirmed by testing, and with a strong family history of breast cancer, a previous breast cancer, and who show signs of certain pre-cancerous conditions are among those who could benefit from the surgery," Brawley wrote.
Within the Reagan family, there are four children waiting to find out their gene mutation carrier status. Genetic testing is rather good news to Reagan. She has one biological daughter, Avery, and one adopted son, Sawyer.
"When the time is right, we will go through the testing and talk with [Avery] and her cousins about the implications of the [gene mutation] test," said Reagan. "We have the medical tools that will enable them to know their status rather than [wait] to react to bad news that there is more cancer."
On April 1, 2014, Reagan will reach her fifth year as a breast cancer survivor. Her cancer is in remission. Her personal mission is to educate family members and the community on the importance of early gene mutation testing as a memorial to her father and others who have battled cancer. Reagan's family provides great strength to fight like a girl for others in the battle.
"I want people to know that if you have the [cancer] gene, living with that knowledge is not a death sentence," said Reagan. "I've gained so much after having cancer and knowing my paternal family history."

Fredric Neal Gabler
World Trade Center
A Yearning for Community
Fredric Neal Gabler's idea of heaven was to live surrounded by his friends, on the same block or perhaps in some suburban compound. Friends sometimes thought he was joking when he talked about this dream of "communal living," but he meant every word, his family says.
It would have had to be a sizable place. More than 1,500 people, including his sister Jolie and his parents, Howard and Leslie Gabler, attended his memorial service on Sept. 23 at Temple Beth Torah in Upper Nyack, N.Y. "He was happiest when he was surrounded by the ones he loved," his wife, Mindy, told the crowd.
This dream compound would also have been neat and comfortable. (Mr. Gabler and a college roommate once traded blows over the roommate's refusal to meet his housekeeping standards.) And it would have been filled with the sounds of sports ‹ part of the glue that held his friendships together.
Fred Gabler, 30, an equity trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, met Mindy when they were both 16. His sports-hardened good looks and his father's Camaro were the first attractions, she told his friends, but his loving nature, honesty and sense of humor kept her at his side. They lived in Manhattan and were expecting their first child, a daughter, this month.
At his memorial service, his father ‹ who escaped on Sept. 11 from his own offices in the World Trade Center ‹ told mourners that the only thing missing from his son's life "was length." Taking in the overflow crowd, he said, "You are his eulogy."

80th Annual 4th of July Rodeo
Eighty years ago, a group of local farmers and businessmen put their heads together to organize a rough and tumble Fourth of July celebration, and they put the word out that there was fun to be had and money to be won at the City Park in St. Paul Oregon. That first year fifty cowboys competed for a grand total of $500.
From that humble beginning, the St. Paul Rodeo has become one of this nation's top rodeos with prize monies approaching $500,000, nearly a thousand competitors, and was designated as a Wrangler Million Dollar Tour Rodeo making it one of an elite group of eight rodeos attracting the top competitors in the world.
Mark your calendars now and join the fun at the 80th Annual St. Paul Rodeo July 1 – 4, 2015.
There's no doubt that St. Paul knows how to "do" rodeo. This celebration includes the roughest, toughest contests between men and animals and underscores the grit and fortitude of those folks we know as cowboys and cowgirls.
Hundreds of community volunteers work shoulder to shoulder for months each year to put this traditional show together, and we welcome the world to St. Paul for five days filled with color, action, excitement, and something for everyone. So, head on out to St. Paul for a fun-filled experience during our 80th annual 4th of July rodeo celebration of the American cowboy and our western lifestyle!

Cardiac imaging is among the most commonly used diagnostic techniques in cardiovascular medicine. Conventional imaging modes (chest roentgenography, echocardiography, radionuclide imaging, and angiography) allow delineation of cardiac morphology, coronary anatomy, ventricular and valvular function, and cardiac shunts, and permit qualitative evaluation of myocardial perfusion. Four new imaging procedures (digital subtraction angiography, rapid acquisition x-ray computed tomography, emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) promise to expand diagnostic capabilities by permitting quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion, evaluation of myocardial metabolism, and characterization of cardiac tissue composition. These techniques differ widely in cost, availability, and in the additional information they offer. Optimal use will be achieved only through carefully controlled comparative clinical trials directed at specific diagnostic questions.

Amar'e Stoudemire may miss start of season
Adam Zagoria, Team ReporterAmar'e Stoudemire did some shooting with his Knicks teammates when camp opened on Tuesday, but he didn't practice with the new-look Knicks. Head coach Mike Woodson doesn't know when Stoudemire will be able to go.
"It's hard for me to even comment on that," Woodson said. "I think right now it's nice to see him out today on the floor. But we've just got to take it a day at a time. We're not rushing, let's put it that way. We want to make sure when he steps on the floor that he's right for the minutes that we decide to give him."
Stoudemire has had three knee surgeries in the last 12 months, including one in July that on Monday he called "extremely minor." He talked repeatedly about trying to "prolong" his career by limiting his playing time during the preseason and regular season.
It remains unclear if Stoudemire will be available to play when the season opens Oct. 30. The Knicks have six preseason games before then.
"We're just taking it a day at a time with STAT," Woodson said. "STAT's still a big piece of this puzzle, I think. And I think we've got to utilize it and I've got to be smart enough this year to really maximize his minutes."

This newly built hotel joins the legendary Astor Hotel in Tianjin, The Royal Begonia in Sanya and The Hongta Hotel in Shanghai as The Luxury Collection brand continues to grow its footprint in China. In the last year alone, the brand has made its debut in key destinations throughout Asia Pacific with hotel openings in Chennai, India; the Blue Mountains, Australia; and Jakarta, Indonesia.
"The opening of Twelve at Hengshan marks the latest milestone for The Luxury Collection as we continue our journey to open a record number of hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific in 2012," said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and W Worldwide.

Radon measurements for real estate transactions must be conducted by certified radon testers. For more information about radon and real estate see the US EPA booklet "Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon."
Radon does not have to stop a real estate transaction. Radon levels can be reduced to acceptable levels with relatively simple systems.
Follow these links for information on real estate disclosures.
All houses should be tested for radon, if not during the sale or purchase, at least after you take occupancy. Houses even in areas of low radon potential can have elevated radon levels. (How does radon get into my house?) The probability, of course, is less in low radon potential areas, but it doesn't matter what the probability is if your house is the one that has high radon.
If you are in a high or moderate radon potential zone and want to be the consummate consumer you should have the house tested for radon. If it has elevated radon (>4 pCi/L) contact a certified mitigator to get an estimate to install a radon system. The cost of fixing the problem could be a negotiating point, added to the mortgage amount, or if nothing else you will know upfront how much it will cost. If, on the other hand, you really like the house and the seller is unwilling to negotiate you can buy the house knowing that if it has high radon it can be fixed for generally between $2500 and $5000, depending on the house size and complexity of the radon system.
The important thing is to have the house tested prior to buying or test yourself after you move in. You can test your house inexpensively, see Home Test Kits $7.95 for California residents. If you don't have radon, that's great--it didn't cost you much to find out and you don't have to worry about it. If you do have radon, you will know and you can address the problem and move on with your life, knowing that you have eliminated at least one substantial hazard from your life.
If you are looking at buying a house with a radon reduction system already installed you should view it as value-added. After all, the problem has been dealt with, and as long as the system is functioning properly, you don't have to worry about radon.
Remember, no matter where you live or the age of your house, test for radon. Testing is the only way to know if you have a problem.

It's All on the Label
I have been out of my classroom, away from my students, grading sixth and seventh grade English Language Arts exams since last week. The couple hundred teachers at my scoring site, an elementary school gym, spent several hours being trained on the correct scoring of a particular test booklet, for a particular grade, which means I now feel like an expert on the sixth grade - day two book three - portion of the state test. And I need to be. It's my job these five days to grade all the kids' papers that show up in a pile in front of me.
I sit at a table with six smart, funny and careful teacher-scorers. We are all taking our jobs seriously, even the teacher who recently finished her ninth day of grading. We double check our scores with each other and against the scoring guides. We read aloud when a kid writes something witty. And when we have a few minutes in between packets, we turn immediately back into teachers, talking about lesson planning, strategies for emerging writers, books that best belong in what grade.
And we grade and grade and grade.
The first thing I do when I reach for the next kid's test booklet is turn it over. All the most important data is on the back of the booklet on a small mailing label. That label tells me the kid's name. It tells me the names of the person or people the kid lives with, and where the kid lives. The label tells me the kid's birthday. Reading this label takes me a second, but it changes the way I read the kid's test. I'm not reading another 6th grader's test, I'm reading Brett's test, and Xaviar's exam. I noticed today that Rowen was lucky enough to live with his mom and dad and both grandparents. Yesterday, I saw that Daisy lived down the street from my best friend, and Tanisha lives right next to the high school I used to teach at in the Bronx.
I make the test into a particular kid's work so that when I read their words, I am thinking about that 11 year old on the morning of April 17. I am thinking about how hard the child worked to finish this colossal task. I am thinking that, at the time of the piece I am reading (I am grading the part that made kids cry and throw up), this kid was trying his or her best to finish and finish well. I am thinking this kid was trying to do his or her best writing. This kid was re-reading the story to find the best evidence to prove his claim and answer the prompt even though time was short and he felt stressed. As I compare Rowen's answer, or Tanisha's essay, to the rubric and examples provided to test scorers from Pearson, I am looking to make sure I give them every single possible point for all they did right, rather than looking for what their work lacks.
Rest assured, the scorers are trained to look for all that's there before they look for what is missing. We are told to err on the side of giving the most credit we are able to according to the guidelines Pearson gave us. And I think we are doing a good job.
For me, looking at the label, figuring out who's hard work is in my hand to assess, helps me stay always present with the task of grading, even at 2:30, with twenty minutes left in my grading day, and dozens of tests behind me since 8:30 that morning.
On May 9, I get to go back to the kids I teach. I miss them terribly. On Thursday morning, I will share with them new books I bought and read while I was gone. We will dig through several articles they've read in my absence for really good evidence for the essay we are writing about conformity. And I'm sure there will be many stories they need to share, like the email I received after I'd been gone two days. It read simply: "Someone threw a book on the floor. I picked it up." That was from Angelica. I hope whoever graded her test looked at her name and counted all she does right.

Exodus 12:1-8 + 11-14; I Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13: 1-15
"I have given you an example, that as I have done, you also should do."
Today in the church throughout the world an amazing thing is happening. From the highest position in the church – the Pope – to the lowliest curate in a parish in the poorest section of our world, the celebrant will take off his robes of honor and kneel before his congregation and wash their feet. I, your abbot, did likewise at our grand meal at noon time. What is the meaning of this? What is the example that Jesus gives us in the washing of the feet? Indeed, more than an example, it has become known as the commandment, the mandatum, through all subsequent ages. What is this commandment that Jesus gives us?
Quite often we think of the washing of the feet as an humiliation. Jesus is our teacher and master, our Lord and head — but he humbles himself and does the work of a slave so as to teach us our place in the scheme of things. In this way Jesus shows that he does not want us to get a swelled head, to think more of ourselves than is right. Even though we are better than others, Jesus wants us to eat humble pie for a while just to keep us in line. Is this what his example is all about? Is this the 'commandment' he has given us?
Certainly it might have some elements of this. Can you imagine someone like Omar Gadhafi doing this? Or an Adolph Hitler or any other dictator in human history? Or the CEO of Exxon or General Motors or any other Fortune 500 company? I can't, though I have to admit it would be a powerful symbol if one of them would do such. Yet when all is over and done, they still take back the power, prestige and authority to which they are accustomed. So as an act of humility, the washing of the feet has only passing significance.
What then is its meaning?
In an attempt to understand it, let us look at the readings we have heard through the lens of the question I proposed on Passion/Palm Sunday: 'What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What does it mean to follow Jesus?'
On Sunday we saw it as being obedient to the very structure of life itself. And what is that structure? There is no life without death; there is no fulfillment in seeking one's own happiness apart from others. We live by dying. We gain by losing. We become great by being the least of all. We reign by serving.
Today's liturgy teaches us much the same reality — but with a different nuance. On Sunday we sought the will of the Father by giving way to each other, by deference to the desires of others. Today we are taught by Jesus that no one of us is better than another. The law of life: we gain by losing, is also the law of equality: we are all servants of the servants of God.
To follow Jesus in the context of today's readings is to realize profoundly that we truly reign only by serving and to put that realization into effect by giving ourselves totally for others. This is the deepest meaning of the washing of the feet. We do not lower ourselves with the objective of one day being above others, but precisely by serving we are who we really are — in all our grandeur. This is to be a disciple of Jesus and to follow the example he has given to us. He truly served us to the very end, to the core of his being, to the utmost. That is, not just to the end of his earthly life, but through eternity Jesus continues to serve us. He is Lord and Master precisely in his serving. It never stops – even in heaven.
The washing of the feet was a sign and symbol of this. The reality is what we will soon celebrate as we gather around the altar. Jesus gives himself totally for us in bread and wine. By sharing in Jesus' self-gift we find the strength and wherewithal to go and do likewise. To follow the example and model Jesus has given us. And it will never stop for us either. Heaven is selflessness — and selflessness is to think of others and to serve others before oneself.
Let us do so.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 ZAZ 965A
It might look like a Fiat, but this 1962 ZAZ 965A for sale on Hemmings.com shares only a passing resemblance and size with the Italian minicar. The more one looks, the more one sees how far the Ukranian carmaker diverged from the design of the Fiat 600, from the V-4 engine architecture to the torsion bar suspension, to the shape of the car's rear. This particular ZAZ, one of the later upgraded versions, somehow made its way to the West Coast, where it went through a full and meticulous restoration. From the seller's description:
ZAZ-965 Zaporozhets model was made between 1960 and 1969. The design was copied from the Fiat 600 and has a very similar appearance, and has a 4 cylinder alloy V 4. This car is offered at a fraction of the restoration costs. This is without doubt the best ZAZ in the world. as you can see from the photos the car is simply wonderful, the basis of the car was a rust-free and accident-free car, the underside of the car is as stunning as the rest of the vehicle. New professional paint. New leather interior real leather, headliner, original steering wheel original with no cracks, rebuilt engine, and gearbox. New shocks, rebuilt brakes, and suspension, wheels refinished with all new 5 tires new, All chrome has been refinished, All rubber seals replaced,

* The first Geek Squad car? Given that Geek Squad was founded long before VW released the New Beetle, it wasn't one of those. Rather, as Motoramic wrote this week, it was a 1958 Simca Aronde, followed by a 1960 Ford Falcon, an ice cream truck, and a 1953 Morris Minor.
* Peter Brock participated in more than just the Corvette Sting Ray's design process while at GM. As we see on Brock Racing Enterprises's website, he also designed an Isetta-fighting microcar called the Cadet. Make of that what you will.
* We don't see nearly enough vans with fins, but that's probably because we don't live in Ukraine, where the GAZ M21-based SARB Start was built, as we learned from Truque this week.

The Caged Bird Has Been Set Free
Although I do not think this dynamic, creative woman could ever have been caged, she absolutely sang with the voice of an angel! Even from a young age she spread her wings to fly places most people would never even think to go, breaking barriers and breaking free from a tragic, trying past, turning her pain and experiences into beauty and inspiration.
Maya Angelou passed away this morning, leaving a void in the world, yet also leaving us a legacy of all her works and words, advocacy and accomplishments.
PBS's Tavis Smiley Show will pay tribute to Maya Angelou at 6:30 p.m. tonight on KBDI channel 12 (so set your DVRs), and CNN, BBC, and the Los Angeles Times have all posted lovely tribute articles about Dr. Angelou online.
For even more information about this amazing woman please check out all of the books, eBooks, audio books, DVDs, memoirs, cookbooks, and more written by or about Maya Angelou available at your Denver Public Library.
For a sample of her powerful work listen to this YouTube video from CNN of the poet reciting "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Clinton's 1993 inauguration - beautiful, moving, inspirational!
I am saddened by the passing of Maya Angelou. She was one of the poets that I most admired. True poetry has always been one of my love's and Ms Angelou was at the top. May her voice live on forever in her poetry.
Post new comment
The Central Library will close early at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 to prepare for the Booklovers Ball. More...

Could pictures of vegetables on lunch trays make it cool for kids to eat green beans?
Research published Wednesday from the University of Minnesota finds that just such a visual nudge generated a short-term increase in vegetable consumption among students at an elementary school in Richfield.
Researchers looked at the amount of veggies that kids ate during a normal day in February 2011 and compared it with consumption when the cafeteria served the exact same menu in May. On the later date, students went through the lunch line with trays that featured photographs of carrots and green beans in two of the tray's six compartments - subtle hints that students should select those foods.
The percentage of students who took green beans increased from 6 percent to nearly 15 percent, and the share of those taking carrots jumped from 12 percent to 37 percent. On a per-student basis, the amount of vegetables eaten held relatively constant, meaning aggregate vegetable consumption jumped considerably, said Traci Mann, one of the U researchers.
"This is a form of intervention that's been really popular lately called a 'nudge,' which is making a small change to the eating situation," Mann said, adding that a common suggestion for dieters to eat from smaller plates is another example of a nudge.
"If you use a good nudge," she said, "a small change to the eating situation leads to a large change in eating behavior.
The paper was published online Wednesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Carrot and green bean consumption was calculated by estimating the weight of all veggies taken by schoolchildren and subtracting the actual weight of uneaten waste. That means researchers had to hustle during study days to weigh uneaten food before it was discarded, so trays could be washed and used again for the next lunch shift. Researchers also had to scoop up uneaten veggies under tables and chairs to account for all waste.
Students in Richfield who were part of the study had the option of picking up small bowls of carrots and green beans as they made their way through the lunch line - which points to a key advantage of the "nudge" approach, Mann said.
"The students within the situation still make their own choices about what to do, so you don't bump into all this resistance when kids might feel like they're being forced to do something," she said. The pictures on the tray also might give "the impression that everyone is doing it," Mann added.
When the trays featured photos of green beans, 96 out of 647 kids took the vegetable, compared with 42 out of 666 kids on the day when trays lacked pictures. For carrots, 77 of 666 kids took the vegetable when trays were photo-free, but when pictures were used, 238 out of 647 kids took carrots.
Richfield school officials say they're excited by the results but don't have plans for new lunch trays. For starters, it's not clear who even would make such a tray, said Deb LaBounty, nutrition services supervisor for Richfield Public Schools.
"I think kids a lot of times just need an example of what they're supposed to do," LaBounty said. "A lot of times, the battle is getting the kids to take the fruit or the vegetable."
For the study, researchers used a color photocopier and scissors to make veggie images that could be placed in trays, said Mann, the U researcher. It cost about $3 and 20 minutes per 100 trays.
A more permanent approach would be to laminate such pictures, Mann said, noting that otherwise the images "are not going to survive the meal." Laminated pictures of numerous fruits and vegetables could even be changed to match the day's menu, Mann suggested.
One limitation of the study: It looked at the impact of lunch-tray pictures over a two-day period, but not the long term.
"If it's working because of the novelty of the pictures, it won't stick," Mann said. "But if it's changing their views about what the other kids are doing, I think it might stick."
Another caveat: Even with the pictures, students still didn't eat enough veggies.
"The number of students taking vegetables and the amounts consumed, however, remained low," researchers wrote, "and did not yet meet government recommendations."

Ant Farm – The hit Disney Channel sitcom was created by Dan Signer. ANT Farm stars China Anne McClain, Sierra McCormick, Jake Short, Stefanie Scott and Carlon Jeffery.
Disney's Ant Farm first premiered on the Disney Channel Network in May of 2011. The pilot for Ant Farm was actually aired as the series finale of another popular show, 'The Suite Life on Deck'. Both shows were created by Dan Singer, so 'The Suite Life' was used to introduce A.N.T. Farm.
A.N.T. Farm actually stands for "Advanced Natural Talents" program which is a program for very gifted students in a school set in San Francisco, California.
A.N.T. Farm has made China Anne McClain a star playing Chyna Parks, a music genius and child prodigy. Chyna just joined the A.N.T. program at Webster High School and she befriends others in the school.Chyna becomes good friends with Olive Doyle played by Sierra McCormick, a girl who has a knack for remembering things and an incredible memory. China McClain's character, Chyna also meets Fletcher Quimby, played by Jake Short. Fletcher is an artistic genius who has a crush on Chyna. Other characters in the Disney series are Lexi Reed who is played by Stefanie Scott as the schools popular, mean girl and Chyna's older brother Cameron, played by Carlon Jeffery.
The series also cast other regular characters such as Angus Chestnut (Aedin Mincks) a computer hacker and computer genius, Paisley Houndstooth (Allie DeBerry) Lexi's BFF and plays the role of a confused dingy blond. There is the principal, Susan Skidmore (Mindy Sterling) who is a bit vain and delusional. Chyna's dad, Darryl Parks is played by Finesse Mitchell and there are other recurring roles like Gibson (Zach Steel) and Wacky the Wolf, the school mascot.
When the show films, it must cast for any needed roles such as background actors and extras. The casting call and auditions for Ant Farm are usually handled by agents in Los Angeles. If you want to audition for ANT Farm, you will first need to go find yourself an agent and the agent will then send you out to audition before casting directors and show producers.
To become an extra on the show, you most likely will not need an agent. Most extras casting for Disney Channel shows and other network television shows is done through an extras casting agency. An example of a popular extras casting agency is Central Casting. When the show asks for extras, the extras casting agency sends them the extras they need for production. If you want to be an extra on a Disney Channel show, you will need to contact an agency that supplies extras to the network.

Matt Vaill's Christmas village and rail system live one month, and change the next year
Every December, Matt Vaill builds a village with a lifetime of only a month for his trains
Any Christmas party at Matt Vaill's house is sure to be a noisy one, and that's before the guests even arrive.
Clacking away in the center of his living room is a 10½-foot by 14-foot table topped by a Lionel model O-gauge train display, the result of more than 10 years of devoted collecting. A childhood love that's now all grown up, Vaill can trace his collection affection to a gift his mother gave him as a little boy.
"I can remember my mom got me an LGB, a German train, when I was probably 8 or 9, and I loved that," says the 34-year-old. "Every year, I would set that up around the Christmas tree."
The passion persisted until he was a teen, when his interest fell off. But then, in 1998 — the same year Vaill joined the Collier County Sheriff's Office as a deputy — something happened to rekindle his fascination.
Specifically, he attended the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts' Festival of Trees event. There, one tree caught his eye: Trains on tracks wrapped around the tree like garland, climbing ever higher until they reached the top. Suddenly, the train he'd loved as a child returned to his mind.
A week later, his work took him on a call to a North Naples shopping center. There, he found a gift shop that stocked a line of Department 56-brand miniature villages, the kind one would use to create a train display. Vaill eventually went home with one of those miniatures, a candy shop filled with softly glowing images of sweet treats.
Now, he estimates the display has more than 1,000 individual pieces.
Of those, about 100 are illuminated and must be wired for electricity, such as the candy shop. This year, Vaill set up four trains, and even one tiny trolley. In previous years, he has set up as many as seven trains. One of those trains, a Polar Express train inspired by the book and film, even blows real smoke.
The trains encircle various the miniature villages. In the villages, there are old-fashioned street scenes and rustic wharves. The wharf is a personal favorite of the Rhode Island native, since it reminds him of the New England waterfronts of his childhood.
There are countless details, big and small: narrow bridges to cross, frozen ponds to skate, movie theaters showing holiday favorites. Couples dance, shovel snow, puppies peer out from pet store windows. On a hill high above it all, there's even an alien being beamed back to his flying saucer. The UFO never fails to enchant his two children, Vaill says.
It might be nerve-wracking to think of youngsters racing around such an elaborate display, but Vaill says 5-year-old Jonnah and 4-year-old Jordyn take the trains in stride. They like to watch the display from the staircase, he says, high above it all where they can see the entire landscape.
"They take it all in, then they go do their own thing," he says.
Many of the pieces are ones that he collected himself — including a wedding hall he bought when Jordyn was born and a tractor shop for Jonnah — but others have been given to him as gifts through the years.
As word of his hobby spread to friends and family, it seems that everyone wanted to give him a little something to help him create his display. One friend gave him a collection of pieces from the cult classic comedy film "A Christmas Story." One year, his mother hit pay dirt at a Hallmark store clearance, scooping up armfuls of accessories for the display.
The majority of the pieces are purchased, but some are handmade by Vaill, such as an Empire State Building that he created this year for a New York City "village." Vaill has visited the city several times and it holds a special place in his heart, so he wanted to find a way to add it to his display. Next year, he wants to create a Florida scene, complete with sandy beach area.
"Now it's to the point where unless it's something really unique, I don't just buy stuff to fill space anymore," Vaill says.
This year, he plans to count all the pieces when he puts everything away, a process that usually takes a weekend. That's quite a contrast to the three weeks or more it often takes him to create the train display.
Vaill begins thinking about the display in late summer or early fall, he says — and by the day after Halloween, he is beginning to organize the display's many pieces. Often, he makes a sketch to help him conceptualize how the display will look.
His goal is to have the display up by Thanksgiving, especially since he likes to host a holiday party to show the display to friends.
"There are certain people that know I do this now," he says. "I get the question, usually after Halloween, 'When are the trains going up?'"
The display changes each year, but there's one piece that's never missing: Santa and his sleigh, suspended from a delicate line from the ceiling and soaring high over the display. To Vaill, it's the most important piece.
"It represents Christmas," he says. "It stands for what all of this is. It's like the closing. You've got to have Santa and the reindeers."

Laughter, blood, and morally questionable satirical song
Laughter, blood, and morally questionable satirical song
Twenty-one year old comedian, Bo Burnham instantly enticed a sold-out room of college students by introducing nudity almost immediately during the inception of his hour-long pretentious comedy skit. Burnham abruptly stripped away his neon-red pants, suggesting he had nothing underneath, but instead he revealed yet another pair of neon-red pants.
Burnham's politically incorrect and sometimes morally questionable performance, which was preceded by outstandingly talented comedians, Moshe Kasher and Gloria Bigelow, both of whom delivered raunchy, crowd pleasing performances, received a standing ovation by the roaring, sold-out crowd, who never seemed to stop laughing. Burnham opened his act by joking about never before hearing of WCU's mascot, the Catamount. "What the f#*k is that [catamount], I think it is a measurement of crazy old ladies, she lives with seven cats, so she has a much higher catamount," he joked.
The Overlook Theatre Company presents "The Wizard of Oz" Nov. 3-6 at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a Sunday matinee at 2:30 p.m.
To purchase tickets, call the box office at (828)524-1598 or go to www.greatmountainmusic.com.
See more photos and captions of the elaborate, colorful production after the jump!
Tickets are still available for the Nov. 10 concert at Western Carolina University's Liston B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center featuring country music breakout stars Justin Moore and Thompson Square.
Moore has topped the country charts with the hit "Small Town USA" and reached the top 10 with "Backwoods" from his self-titled debut CD. Other singles from his album include "Back That Thing Up" and "How I Got to Be This Way." His second album, "Outlaws like Me," was released this summer, with the single "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" recently reaching No. 1 on the country music charts. His latest single, "Bait a Hook," is currently climbing the charts.

The_Oracle asked this question on 2/11/2000:
Is there anyone here practicing in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex?
minerva gave this response on 2/11/2000:
Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere near there, but I can recommend a few sites where you can find info.
The main one is The Witches' Voice; they have the Witches of the World section where you can communicate with other pagans in your area. (www.witchvox.com)
There's Salem West; they're also an online community. (www.neopagan.com)
And (oddly enough) Six Degrees. They're not a pagan community per se, but they have special interests groups of all kinds. (www.sixdegrees.com)
I hope this helps. Good luck.

The Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety
Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times.
It might be, even if you think it isn't.
Know the identifying features of the game you hunt. Make sure you have an adequate backstop—don't shoot at a flat, hard surface or water.
This is the best way to prevent an accidental discharge.
Make sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions, and carry only the proper ammunition for your firearm.
Leave actions open, and carry firearms in cases and unloaded to and from the shooting area.
Avoid all horseplay with a gun.
Unload a firearm before you climb a fence or tree, or jump a ditch. Pull a firearm toward you by the butt, not the muzzle.
Store each in secured locations beyond the reach of children and careless adults.

Opens Fri., April 16
Have pity on the aging ass-kicker. Always a shameless mugger, Jackie Chan can spend his 50s comfortably slipping into PG action-thons and Karate Kid reboots. Jet Li doesn't seem the family-friendly type. Almost every review of The Warlords, which finds a slightly paunchy, mid-forties Li in 19th-century Qing Dinasty intrigue, has chuckled over the numerous times he's called on to cry.
This isn't Li's gradual segue into soap operas. The weeping is the kind you'd see in a John Woo movie—a male weepie, in which vaguley homoerotic dude relationships produce as much bloodshed as tears. But there's a reason why Woo went for Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung and never Li: He's a great stone-face, the Buster Keaton of martial artists. His face doesn't seem to have the muscles required for complex emotions; watching him emote just isn't why you watch Li. His crying isn't as tortured as Pierce Brosnan's walrus-wail in The Greatest, but Li might want to consider ignoring W.C. Fields' advice to never work with animals or children.
Or at least find less generic historical dramas. Originally released in 2007—one year after Li's avowed "final action movie" Fearless—The Warlords digs into the civil war of China's Taiping Rebellion for the story of Pang Qingyun (Li), the lone survivor of a vicious battle. He formed a blood pact with bandit leaders Wuyang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Erhu (Andy Lau). Together they impress the Dynasty powers-that-be with their all-bandit army, which they rule with a progressive sense of egalitarianism—for example, rather than sit on a mountain away from the action, the three descend straight into the melee and get dirty too. But, of course, power corrupts, and ambition trumps ideals, leading to a mess of tragedies.
Director Peter Chan tends to do intimate dramas (like Comrades: Almost a Love Story), and even leaves The Warlord's battle scenes to "action director" Wai Man Yip. But after a refreshingly tough and grimy first half, the remainder turns grotesquely bombastic, with every every other shot a slow-mo image of one of its three male leads screaming in weepy pain. If you must go for overheated Chinese historical sagas, go with the full version of Red Cliff—new to home video!—instead.
It's a hell of a lot of fun, giving a well-deserved wedgie to Hollywood's recent glut of solemn, costumed avenger epics.
Ami (Minase Yashiro)—another Japanese schoolgirl—has her missing appendage replaced with an enormous machine gun. Cue 96 minutes of cheaply computerized, amazing gore.

Blueblood entitlement's on the dinner menu in "The Riot Club"

This Easter Mini Dessert Stand is so easy. Easter is right around the corner and no Easter Dessert Table would be complete without its own mini dessert stand! Check out how I made mine below.
- 2 round pieces of wood
-1 larger round piece of wood (All I could find was a wooden basketball but with a little paint it worked just perfect!)
- Dowel Rod
- Decorative Eggs
- Paint
- Glue
- Drill
1. Start out by drilling a hole into the center of your 2 smaller pieces of round wood.
2. Drill a hole into your eggs.
3. Slide dowel rod into hole that you drilled in step 1. Slip your eggs onto dowel rod until desired heights is achieved and cut top of dowel off. Leave about a 1/2 inch at the top.
4. Give all wood pieces a couple coats of paint and slide eggs back onto dowel. Now add the 2nd circle of wood to the top of dowel. (Glue dowel rod in place if desired, I want to keep mine so I can change out the eggs and therefore I left mine unglued.)
5. Glue the larger piece of round wood onto the top to act as a "plate".
Now fill with your sweets and let your guests go crazy over your display!
Or make one for every guest as a favor…how fun!
