Cheap Seats Daily: Maryland GreenHawks Coach Dies
The Maryland GreenHawks latest new coach, Otis Hailey, died early Saturday. The team attributed Hailey's death to kidney failure. He had been with the squad for only two games.
Adam Dantus, general manager of the Premier Basketball League squad, says Hailey had a chronic kidney condition and received regular dialysis treatments. He had a dialysis session scheduled for Friday, but put it off for a day to be with the team as it traveled home from a loss Thursday in Rochester. He never made the rescheduled appointment.
"He ran practice here from 9 to 11 on Friday night," Dantus says. "He thought he was coming down with a cold, but went back to the hotel. I started getting calls at 9 in the morning. I only knew him a week, but, man, he was a great guy. Devoted."
So, after just seven games in their first season, the GreenHawks will now be hiring their fourth head coach. Ryan Krueger, who was the first coach hired by the expansion franchise, left during the preseason for a college job. Rob Spon, a minor league basketball veteran, replaced Kreuger but was dumped after going 1-4 to start the year. Enter Hailey, another well-traveled minor leaguer with short stints — every minor league coaching stint is short — all over the place. Among the teams you never heard of formerly coached by Hailey: the Montreal Dragons, Saskatchewan Hawks,Vancouver Nighthawks, Niagara DareDevils, Tijuana Diablos, Calgary Drillers and Los Angeles Push.
Hailey, who as a teenager set the national prep high jump record at 7' 1" in 1968, went 1-1 in his last coaching gig.
Hours after Hailey's death, the GreenHawks were scheduled to host the Vermont FrostHeaves, a squad made famous by founder/author Alexander Wolff. But that game was postponed, officially because of snow.
The next new coach of the now 2-5 team has not yet been announced. "I'm talking to three people today," says Dantus. "I'll make a decision by three o'clock."
I was so wowed by a UDC men's room that I went back with a camera so I could share its majesty with the world.
Shortly after I posted my wows, I learned that I'm hardly the first person to walk away dazed after hitting the head at the Harvard of the West Side of the Middle of the 4200 Block of Connecticut Avenue NW.
(AFTER THE JUMP: Who first blew the lid off the UDC bathroom story? More Potomac swimming? Isn't that where you find intersexual smallmouth bass? DeMatha plays the wrong St. Anthony's? How much would you pay for the Pontiac Silverdome? Wasn't that where King Kong Bundy broke Little Beaver's back? How much would you not pay for a Dan Snyder autograph?)
Turns out that nearly three years ago, before going on to greater greatness at Huffington Post, City Paper's own Arthur Delaney felt a similar sense of wonderment in a UDC restroom, which he described in this very forum as "fit for the Queen."
You get the collar, Art.
Another day to swim in the Potomac River! Registration opens today for the inaugural Washington, D.C. Triathlon, scheduled for June 20. The new race is put on by the same folks who produce the Nation's Triathlon. Chuck Brodsky, founder of both, put in a big plug for the city's most powerful triathlete in announcing the event.
"We are incredibly pleased to bring a second triathlon to our city," Brodsky said, "which not only boasts the nation's top triathlete Mayor but also features two unparalleled courses that offer swimming, biking and running tours of DC's most spectacular monuments and national treasures. No where else in the world can competitors trace the footsteps of America's history while competing alongside the nation's best."
Absent triathlons, it's still illegal to swim in the Potomac, which has been famously polluted since the 19th century — first with pig parts, later with industrial waste. Brodsky pushed for years before getting a one-day exemption on the swimming ban so he could hold the Nation's Triathlon.
After swimmers returned to the river for the 2008 triathlon, I called Rita Colwell, a former director of the National Science Foundation and a person who had been studying the Potomac for decades, to ask her feelings on whether it should be reopened for recreational purposes. Colwell was appalled that anybody would jump in a body of water whose name so often appeared alongside references to "fecal matter" and "intersexual smallmouth bass."
"When I heard that they were swimming down by the Memorial Bridge, my first reaction was: You wouldn't get me in there!" Colwell told me.
But, for folks with stronger constitutions, register for the new race at www.DCTri.com.
DeMatha was the top ranked team in town at the end of last week. A lot has changed. A night after losing to Gonzaga in OT at AU, DeMatha lost by two points to a basketball factory school from up north: St. Anthony's, the New Jersey squad usually described as being "coached by Bobby Hurley's dad."
'Course, this wasn't the DeMatha/St. Anthony's matchup that local prep hoops crazies coveted four decades ago, back when Stags' coach Morgan Wootten and Tonies' boss John Thompson had the best programs in the area and flat-out hated each other. For years, both coaches claimed the other coach was ducking his team. The closest the matter ever came to getting settled was when a matchup was scheduled in June 1970 for an outdoor court in the Jelleff Summer League. Somewhere between 500 and 5,000 people showed up, depending on who you believe, but Thompson Punk'd 'em all by leaving his real players off the court and sending in a bunch of non-playing students to face DeMatha's powerhouse squad. Final score: DeMatha 108, St. Anthony's 26.
Because of Thompson's antics, that night at Jelleff is referred to as the The Greatest Game Never Played. And folks associated with both programs haven't been allowed to forget it. The joke around DeMatha circles last week, one even Morgan Wootten was heard telling people, was: "We're finally playing St. Anthony's, but we had to go to New Jersey to do it."
Saturday's Washington Post had two stories that paint Maryland as open-minded about drugs. Marcus Curry, a Navy football star, remains on the squad even after getting caught with pot in his system. Curry says whatever made his pee pee dirty came from a cigar he smoked. Smoking a pot-free cigar seems dumber than a joint in 2010, doesn't it? The second story was from Andrew Beyer, about trainer Kirk Ziadie, who was banished from Florida tracks this winter amid scads of drug accusations, only to be welcomed to Laurel Park with his large stable of horses. I bet Beyer's been betting 'em.
Amazing story in today's Washington Post about the Pontiac Silverdome. The city of Pontiac just sold the building and 127 surrounding acres for $583,000 at auction. For most sports fans, the building is best remembered for hosting Wrestlemania III in 1987. About 93,173 folks, the biggest crowd ever to see an indoor sporting event, showed up to witness 400-pounder-or-so King Kong Bundy break midget legend Little Beaver's back with a body slam. (Here's Jesse the Body Ventura's call: "Smash him, Bundy!", plus Bob Uecker telling the audience, "Little Beaver just gave Bundy a shot in the boiler!")
But $583,000 for the 80,300-seater? Remind me not to hire a real estate agent or auctioneer from Pontiac.
Speaking of auctions for items the public doesn't want: eBay has an autographed photo of Dan Snyder for just $79.99. An auction of what looks like the exact same photo and signature just got zero bids on the site, even with an opening of just $3.95.

Wife: Alaska man innocent in Coast Guard deaths
ANCHORAGE, Alaska The wife of an Alaska man arrested in last years shooting deaths of two employees at a Coast Guard air station said Saturday that her husband is innocent.
Nancy Wells told The Associated Press she expects her husband will be fully exonerated.
I have full faith in my husbands innocence, she said. I have no faith in the quality of the investigation.
James Michael Wells, of Kodiak, is accused in a federal murder complaint of killing Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins, of Vergennes, Vt., and retired Chief Boatswains Mate Richard Belisle on Kodiak Island on April 12.
Another Coast Guard member found the victims shortly after the two would have arrived for work at the station, which monitors radio traffic from ships and planes. Their bodies were found in the rigger building, where antennas are repaired.
The 61-year-old Wells was arrested Friday. Hes expected to appear in court this week in Anchorage. Jail records show he is in custody at the Anchorage Jail.
Coast Guard spokeswoman Sara Francis said Friday from Kodiak that, at the time of the incident, Wells was working with the victims as a civilian Coast Guard employee at the communications station. Francis added that she didnt know his current employment status.
FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez in Anchorage declined to discuss specifics of the case Friday evening. He has said the complaint and underlying affidavit are under court seal. He said he expected those documents to be unsealed this week.
The U.S. attorney in Alaska announced the arrest late Friday. A message left with the U.S. attorneys office in Anchorage on Saturday wasnt immediately returned.
Hopkins, 41, was an electronics technician. Belisle, 51, was a former chief petty officer who continued service to the Coast Guard as a civilian employee.
Amy Belisle told the Kodiak Daily Mirror on Friday that she knew an arrest would come eventually in her fathers death.
She said her mother, Nicola Belisle, was overjoyed when they learned of the arrest. My sisters are not in the state, but theyre also super excited because its a little bit more closure, but its also sad, she told the Daily Mirror.
The Kodiak Island Coast Guard base is home to cutters, helicopters and rescue swimmers that aid mariners in the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A bill dealing with independent contractors was resurrected from a quiet death only ...

4/29/16 - 5/1/16
The stars and stripes will move down Main Street during this year's Julian Fourth of July parade, prompting selection of It's a Grand Old Flag as the theme for the annual patriotic celebration.
For more than 20 years, Julian residents, their friends and parade lovers from all over have lined up on the town's main thoroughfare to wave their flags, cheer the marching bands (now four), and salute the U.S. Marine color guards. There is always a gang of local bad guys who try to rob the bank, but the sheriff rounds them up before the gunmen can get anything.
Riding along the parade route will be Grand Marshal David Lewis, whose Julian roots go back to 1887, when George Ritchie homesteaded 160 acres on Eagle Peak and then sat down to a life of teaching here. Best known as Julian's historian, Lewis wrote a book called Last Known Address, that was a finalist in the San Diego Book Awards. While researching gravesites in the Julian cemetery he discovered the unmarked gravesites of the town's black pioneers: America Newton, Albert Robinson, Martha Boyd and Susan Tull.

Yemen finances improved, currency to stabilise – IMF official
Economic challenges still enormous.
November 9, 2010 12:01 by Reuters
An International Monetary Fund official has praised Yemen, under U.S. pressure to battle al Qaeda militancy in the impoverished country, over an improvement in public finances, saying it would help stabilise its currency.
"Important progress was made this year to strengthen public finances and the revenue base. This will contribute to low inflation, greater exchange rate stability, and more investment and pro-poor spending over the medium-term," Masood Ahmed, Director of the IMF's Middle East and Central Asia Department, said in a statement issued late on Monday.
"Nevertheless, the economic challenges facing Yemen are enormous. These relate to Yemen's heavy reliance on declining oil revenues, high unemployment, widespread poverty, and the country's huge developmental needs."
The central bank has intervened several times this year to support the rial, which hit 250 to the dollar in August, the weakest level in its history.
The rial has been undermined by the crippling of Yemen's economy by constant insurgencies and a civil war as well as massive unemployment.
A year ago the currency stood at about 206 to the dollar. The currency held stable in the past two months at around 215 to the greenback, aided by central bank interventions.
An IMF delegation met government officials, diplomats and donor groups for regular annual consultations on Nov. 7, it said.
The IMF predicts real GDP growth of 8 percent in Yemen for 2010 but a drop to 4.1 percent in 2011.
Yemen's central bank has said it expects inflation to remain at 8 percent during 2010 and 2011. The IMF sees average inflation of 9.8 percent in 2010 and 8.9 percent in 2011.
The discovery last week of U.S.-bound parcels carrying bombs from Yemen has added to investor concerns about security in the the country which is the poorest in the Arab world. The bombs are thought to be the work of al Qaeda's Yemen-based arm, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
A World Bank official told Reuters this month international donors are finding it harder to locate investment projects in the impoverished Arab state, crippling its efforts to diversify its economy away from hydrocarbons.
Donor nations have voiced support for Yemen to help contain the al Qaeda threat and tackle other security challenges including conflicts with northern rebels and southern secessionists.
One in three of the 23 million people suffer chronic hunger in the Arabian Peninsula state, according to U.N. agencies.

Well, a few weeks ago I tried using marijuana to treat my hyperemesis. Crazy enough it worked! I took one puff and my stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting disappeared for at least 6 hours. For 6 whole hours I could eat and drink anything I wanted. Unfortunately, the guilt of using MJ to treat my symptoms set in and I didn't do it again. Since my last use I have lost 10 more lbs and I am down to 115 lbs. My dr told me that if I lost anymore weight that I would be hospitalized which was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
I seriously don't know what to do at this point.

Reviews for
Tale of Despereaux
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2003 November #2
The rich timbre of Malcolm's voice proves an appealing invitation for listeners to follow along with this romantic and funny tale of an unlikely hero. Despereaux Tilling, a tiny mouse with very large ears, has always been a misfit among mice. But it is his quirks-which include the ability to read books and tell stories, as well as his undying love for a human princess-that lead Despereaux on a quest that culminates in a most fitting "happily ever after" ending. Malcolm's humorous interpretation of Antoinette Tilling's (Despereaux's French mother) histrionics is fine entertainment. And his Roscuro the rat character delivers slick lines with a Latin flair. With asides directed at listeners and elements of royal intrigue, innocent romance and revenge, this listening experience sometimes recalls the film The Princess Bride. But movie fans or no, listeners will find lots to enjoy here. Ages 7-12. (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

I want to buy a whole V-brake setup (arms + levers), and am considering either Avid Single Digit 7 (with the Speed Dial levers) or Deore LX with the '04 parallelogram brakes (M570). Price for either setup is the same. I've read many many positive things about the SD-7's, so I am leaning very much towards the Avid setup. What do you guys think?
I would have preferred them in all black, but I'll probably get used to it. Can't find any good pics of the LX.

Spafinder Wellness 365s handy Spa Etiquette Guide for Men – demystify the whole spa experience.
Enjoy your next spa day, spa break or treatment without any worries.
Is It Your First Time?
A first time spa experience can be daunting, especially for men. Many men see spas as unnecessary pampering or indulgence, or something thats just for the ladies. If only they knew just how relaxing, fun and totally unintimidating a trip to the spa can be! These days, most spas are gender-neutral and cater equally to both men and women. There are even a host of spas opening up specifically for men – evidence that men are increasingly embracing the spa experience.
1 Arrive Early.Aim to arrive 20 minutes before your treatment, so you have time to settle in and relax. Theres nothing worse than rushing to the spa and feeling stressed before your treatment begins. Chances are there's a relaxation room and cup of tea waiting for you.
2 Shower Before Your Spa Treatment.Its always nice to feel so fresh and so clean – and your therapist will appreciate it, too. Most spas have shower facilities, so arrive early. Before you get in, make sure you have a robe in the correct size: men over 6 feet tall may find the robes a bit short!
3 Ask Questions.Many therapists report that men are hesitant to ask questions, whether theyre concerned about a particular element of their treatment or simply want after-care advice. Your therapist is there to help – remember, there are no stupid questions.
4 Turn Your Phone Off.Spas are all about relaxation, so your mobile phone has no place here. This is your chance to escape for a short time (think of it as a nano-holiday), so make the most of it and ditch the phone.
5 Tip If You Enjoy the Service – But Dont Feel Obligated.This isnt America, and you arent actually expected to tip in a UK or European spa. But if you feel that youve had outstanding service, you can reward your therapist with a 10-15% tip.
1 Feel Guilty For Spoiling Yourself.Dont fall into the trap of perceiving the spa as an unnecessary luxury. Regular massage does wonders for aches and pains and the relaxation of a spa day soothes the nervous system. Having a body free of pain and mind free of stress are necessary to living a healthy life.
2 Worry About a Jealous Partner.Your other half might get uppity at the thought of your body being rubbed by a massage therapist, but assure them there is nothing to worry about. Spafinder has plenty of resources on the health benefits of massage and spa – share these healthy reasons to visit the spa with your partner.
3 Be Self Conscious.Your therapist sees semi-nude bodies on a daily basis, and theyve likely seen worse things than your hairy back or beer gut. Youre at the spa to relax – so dont let body image ruin your visit.
4 Worry About Getting Excited.Many men express fear that they will get excited during a massage – this is a normal concern. If it happens, you can ask your therapist to pause the treatment. If youre really worried, ask for a back massage only.
5 Get Naked.Rarely will you be asked to get completely nude – unless youre in that kind of spa (but we dont think youre that guy). When in doubt, keep your kit on. If youre in a German spa, it might be a different story
Did you know
20 years ago, men made up 10% of the US spa market – compare that to 47% in 2013. The UK is also seeing this trend rise. 1
The most requested spa treatment for men is massage at 83%, followed by pedicures (37%), facials (31%) and body scrubs (23%). 2
Surprisingly, men are keen on trying more niche services, with 51% stating theyd try hydrotherapy and 47% expressing an interest in mind/body treatments and acupuncture. 3
64% of men say that they visit the spa to get relaxed and relieve their stress. 4
This number will only grow from here. So if youre a man and you havent been to a spa, what are you waiting for? 5
Most spas have bespoke massages, facials and spa experiences just for men.

If you go
Getting there: Alaska, United and American all fly into Carmel/Monterey. Avis, Budget and Hertz rent cars at the airport. Big Sur is about an hour's drive south; Carmel is less than half that.
Ventana Inn & Spa: 48123 Highway One, Big Sur, CA 93920; (831) 667-2331; www.ventanainn.com. Rooms begin at about $500.
Cypress Inn: Lincoln Street and 7th Avenue, Carmel, CA 93921; (831) 624-3871; www.cypress-inn.com. Rooms, including breakfast, begin at $188, with the Queen Tower Suite from $392-$490, depending on season.
What to do: Big Sur Guides, (831) 594-1742; www.bigsurguides.com. Guided hikes also leave from Carmel's Highlands Inn every day at 10 a.m. You can also arrange your own guided hike.
"Hiking in Big Sur is a chance to see the soul of the place," Stephen Copeland told me.
He started Big Sur Guides nearly 40 years ago to share the striking beauty of that storied stretch of California coastline extending 90 miles from the Carmel River to San Carpoforo Creek just north of San Simeon.
"There's a spirit that exists in Big Sur," he continued. "People who come here develop a relationship with that spirit. It's the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world, the way the mountains dip into the ocean. You stand at the edge of the Earth. It does something to people.
"When you immerse yourself in the forest with 700-year-old California coastal redwoods that are magical, you find yourself," said Copeland. "Hiking here can make you happy if you're sad, make you find a path."
I found several paths from Big Sur to Carmel that took me to a waterfall on the coastline, those age-old sky-high redwoods, wind-swept beaches where cypress trees frame turquoise vistas, and even a beach lined with jade.
Few places on the planet are as gorgeous as Big Sur. Its Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the lower 48 states, reaching some 5,155 feet just three miles from the ocean. And while you can appreciate its beauty from your car on the edge-hugging Highway 1, nothing connects you as closely as a foray on its trails, many of which are very easy.
I took along my own guidebook for self-guided explorations, Analise Elliot's excellent "Hiking & Backpacking Big Sur."
"It is a geologically youthful region," writes Elliot. "In just 5 million years, Big Sur has been smashed between colliding tectonic plates, compressed by massive faults (including San Andreas), and rammed upward to form the jagged peaks, steep ridges and deep gorges of the Santa Lucia Range."
I spent four days in Big Sur, basing myself at Ventana Inn & Spa, the first luxury resort to open there in 1975. It sits right across Highway 1 from Post Ranch Inn, an even more luxurious lodging that opened in 1992. While Post Ranch is renowned for its organically designed guest rooms and private houses that sit atop an ocean bluff, Ventana is a lovely but lower-key property, set on 243 ares of oceanview meadows, where camaraderie among guests is common, especially on the outdoor deck during happy hour.
My first hike was on the easy Bluff Trail in Andrew Molera State Park, the largest state park on the Big Sur coast. It has 20 miles of trails in 7.4 square miles of mountains, ridges, meadows and beaches strewn with driftwood.
Pfeiffer Falls Trail, an easy 1.4-mile round-trip hike, took me to a waterfall in the ancient redwoods of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.
This 700-acre property once belonged to John Pfeiffer, son of Michael and Barbara Pfeiffer who were the first European immigrants to settle here permanently in 1869.

GEN's Expert Panel Reviews Filtration's Triumphs,...
Twelve genetic markers associated with development of erectile dysfunction (ED) have been found in prostate cancer patients treated with radiation—a discovery that researchers hope will help led to development of therapies without the side effects produced by current treatments.
A research team led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University carried out the first large scale Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with susceptibility to ED following radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
The study consisted of two parts: Discover the candidate genetic markers of side-effect risk, then confirm which of those markers are replicated in a second group of patients. Patients in the study cohort were given brachytherapy, brachytherapy plus external beam radiation, or external beam radiation alone. They were followed for an average of nearly four years to determine their level of sexual function after treatment.
In the first group of prostate cancer patients—132 men who developed ED after radiotherapy and 103 men similarly treated who did not develop the disorder—researchers found genetic markers associated with ED. In the second part of the study, which examined 128 patients who developed ED after radiotherapy and 102 who did not, researchers confirmed that 12 SNPs were associated with ED.
The 12 SNPs were located near genes appearing to be related to erectile function rather than related to radiation response. The researchers concluded that these SNPs may affect genes that sensitize a patient to developing ED when exposed to radiation during therapy.
"If validated further, these SNPs could provide the basis for a blood test that would enable radiation oncologists to predict more accurately which men are most likely to develop erectile dysfunction after prostate cancer radiation therapy," Harry Ostrer, M.D., professor of pathology and genetics at Einstein, and a member of the research team, said in a statement.
Researchers are also evaluating the impact of radiation treatment on urinary complications and inflammation of the rectum or proctitis.
Results from the study were published today in advance of the October 1, 2012 print issue in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology• Biology• Physics, the official scientific journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Toronto FC Training Camp report: Home schedule starts with David Beckham
The English soccer superstar will lead the L.A. Galaxy into Rogers Centre on March 7 for CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final
|Report an Error
Share via Email
These are hectic days for David Beckham.
The English soccer superstar, who is in training camp with his L.A. Galaxy teammates ahead of a season-opening match at Rogers Centre against Toronto FC in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final, has been going full out both on and off the pitch.
In between training sessions for the defending MLS Cup champion Galaxy, the midfielder and former England captain has kept a frenetic schedule.
On Saturday, Beckham, who turns 37 in May, joined a parade of celebrities, including singer Stevie Wonder, actors Anthony Hopkins and Samuel L. Jackson, and dozens of others in paying tribute to Muhammad Ali at a 70th birthday bash in Las Vegas for the former heavyweight champion.
Since hoisting his first championship trophy in North America last November, Beckham has been promoting his new underwear line and even picked up an award for best dressed sports star from the Cartoon Network.
Beckham's most recent appearance in Toronto was last April in an MLS match against TFC at BMO Field. It was early last season, the final one of his five-year, $32.5-million (U.S.) contract with L.A.
Most of the 22,453 fans for the 0-0 draw that night thought the match, Beckham's only scheduled appearance besides the 2008 Major League Soccer all-star game, would be his last in Toronto. He was widely expected to leave MLS.
But the English superstar has foregone the perfect ending he scripted in 2011. After struggling through his first four seasons, Beckham had a career-high 15 assists, he was selected to the league's Best XI, won comeback player of the year and capped it off by leading L.A. to the MLS Cup title.
Rather than taking one of several offers to return to Europe, Beckham inked another two-year deal with L.A. He'll begin his sixth season in MLS March 7 — his only scheduled appearance of 2012 in Toronto.
With a crowd of more than 45,000 expected, Beckham will once again help draw record attendance to a TFC home match.
It's the first time the Reds have made the knockout stage of the tournament for top club teams in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Calling the MLS Cup with the Galaxy "one of the most satisfying of my career," Beckham, a trophy winner with Manchester United and Real Madrid, said his family and a desire to continue growing soccer in North America were keys behind his decision to sign with the club through 2013.
"I'm still passionate about playing in America and winning trophies with the Galaxy," Beckham said when he signed his new deal.

I have a bride who hired a photographer before meeting me but she wants to do a photo booth at her wedding and hire me as the photographer.Ā She is buying all of the props and setting up the back drop...what would you charge for 3 hours?
Help...Question about Photo Booths
Addison Day arrived on April 24, 2009!!ĀĀShe is gorgeous, sweet, and perfectl!
Emma Riley arrived Dec 20, 2010.Ā She is beautiful and perfect!!
Comments (2)
First I would check with the other photographer and make sure they don't mind you doing that... If I were a first photographer and found out the bride hired someone else for more pictures I'd probably be a little upset. And you don't want to burn bridges with fellow photographers.┬Ā
If you don't care about that then go for it and I would say charge by the photo maybe? You don't know how many you are going to end up taking and don't want to under or over charge her... Maybe just tell her that you charge by the photo for these types of set-ups and that pmt is due upon delivery of the photos.
Find my photography on FB @ Living In the Moment Photography!
Assuming the main photographer is fine with you running a photo booth, I'd charge a flat fee for the time and a certain number of prints (that number would depend on number of guests). Once you set up you lights and get your settings all set, you should have very minimal processing to do, most of which could be batch processed. Because of the nature of photobooths, touching up or enhancements would not be expected. I don't have any advice on the actual price though.

The Quadriplegic Who Moved His Hand
Could brain implants spell the end of permanent paralysis?
First of all, the sensors can only pick up signals from the tiny sampling of neurons that immediately surround them. The rest of the brain's activity remains unreadable, beyond reach. And there's no preset cipher for the signals they do pick up. Instead, a semblance of understanding between man and machine emerges gradually, through mutual effort.
It starts with Burkhart thinking as hard as he can about performing a certain task, like clasping his hand. (Figuring out exactly what to think about is trickier than it sounds, Burkhart notes. Back when he actually could clasp his hand, he never had to think about it.) As he concentrates, the sensors in his brain send data to a computer for analysis by specially designed machine-learning software. Over time, the software works to pick out an identifiable pattern of activity that corresponds to Burkhart trying to clasp his hand—and then, eventually, to differentiate that from the pattern that corresponds to Burkhart trying to unclasp his hand, or turn it over, or use it to wave hello.
On the software end, there are really three distinct problems to solve, explains Battelle's Chad Bouton, leader of the Neurobridge project. The first is implanting the chip in the right part of the brain to decode the neural signals. The second is using software to decode those signals. And the third is recoding them and sending them to the sleeve to electrically stimulate the patient's muscles in the appropriate ways. "We're basically creating what we believe is going to be a virtual spinal cord," Bouton says.
Crucially, though, it isn't just the software that's learning. Burkhart, for his part, learns by trial and error how to focus his mental activity in a way that the software can understand. That wouldn't be so hard if the only goal were to reliably perform a single movement, like tapping a single key on a keyboard. But it becomes exponentially more difficult when the goal is to simultaneously modulate the movements of multiple digits and string them together into specific patterns. Add in the fact that he still can't feel anything in his hands—he can control them, but there's no sensory feedback mechanism—and Burkhart says he'd be "shocked" if he could pull off something as complex as typing on a keyboard anytime soon.
In the end, the process isn't so much like one person learning a foreign language. It's more like two people who speak different languages inventing a new one they can both understand.
For Burkhart, the experience has been as fascinating as it is exhausting. "The guys I'm working with, between the doctors at OSU and the researchers at Battelle—they're ridiculously smart," he says. "I have learned a lot just going into those sessions and kind of being a fly on the wall. It's pretty amazing that I can give them feedback and be a part of it."
This week, two months after Burkhart's surgery, Ohio State and Battelle went public with their achievements, billing Burkhart as the first paralyzed man to move his own hand with his thoughts. So far he has mastered five discrete patterns of movement: opening and closing his hand, rotating it up or down, moving it up or down with his wrist, and drumming on a table with his fingers, one after the next. Burkhart goes to the hospital and does these things, and he and the researchers rejoice and marvel at how far he's come, and videographers record it and send news of the achievement to the world, and then he goes home and is immobile again.
There's one more catch. As Antonio Regalado poignantly documented in a recent feature story for MIT Technology Review, the chips that researchers implant in patients' brains aren't permanent. Rather, the sensors' reach degrades over time. The result is that Scheuermann, the Pittsburgh woman who made headlines just 18 months ago for feeding herself chocolate with a robotic arm, is already losing some of the dexterity she fought so hard to regain.
Burkhart says he knows the chip will have to come out eventually—probably within five years. But he has faith that experiments like his will lead to further technological advances by then. "It's already pretty crazy what they're able to do now. But I wouldn't go so far as to say we're living in the future. I know just by looking at history that it's only going to get better."
That might seem like a safe bet, but as Regalado's article makes clear, it's not a certainty. Not only is the technology invasive, expensive, and impractical, but the potential market—that is, quadriplegics—is too small to excite venture capitalists or corporations with the kind of resources needed to develop and commercialize it.
Battelle's Bouton emphasizes to me that the Neurobridge research is still in its early stages, with approval so far to work with up to five patients. Provided it goes well, he agrees the eventual goal will be to find commercial applications. There's some hope, for instance, that the technology could be adapted for rehabilitation of stroke victims, of whom there are about a million a year in the United States alone. "It's a big unmet need," Bouton says.
Even better than brain implants would be a system that could read people's brains from outside their skulls, like an electroencephalography headset. So far, however, external EEG headsets' performance has not matched their hype, because they can detect only the very crudest signals emanating from the brain. That's why the highly anticipated ceremonial first kick of the 2014 World Cup—taken by a paraplegic with an EEG headset and a robotic suit—ended up being a bit of a letdown. Yet despite the enormous cost and limited practicality of brain-computer interfaces, Brown University's John Donoghue pointed out in MIT Technology Review that the first pacemakers were similarly unwieldy.
Burkhart, for his part, is eager to be a spokesman for the technology—which, of course, is exactly what researchers need if they want to attract more funding. Meanwhile, he's also asking for donations for his own ongoing medical expenses. Of his paralysis, Burkhart says, "I wouldn't wish that on anybody, but I really can't complain about the way my life is right now. If nothing else, I can say I was the first person ever to do something, which is an opportunity I never expected to have."

After it gave the bill a perfunctory review and then ignored it, there was hope that the North Carolina House had decided, smartly, to deep-six the discriminatory Senate proposal to allow North Carolina magistrates to opt out of marrying same sex couples. Now, sadly, the measure is back and scheduled to be heard in committee today.
Fortunately, the chances of this discriminatory proposal actually ever going into effect remain highly questionable. As reporter Sharon McCloskey explains over on the main Policy Watch site this morning, the bill is a successful lawsuit waiting to happen:
"If the bill passes in the House and becomes law, it would be the first of its kind in the country, according to Katharine Franke, a professor at Columbia University School of Law and director of its Center for Gender & Sexuality Law.
(A similar bill in Texas recently failed after corporations there voiced their opposition.)
And in the eyes of legal experts, it would be unquestionably unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Observer explains in an excellent editorial this morning why it should never get that far: Read more

The Distinguished Cottage
408 Garden Lane
The Gardens at Oxbow is the first new home development of its kind in Western New York and is conveniently nestled in the historic Village of Lewiston. The concept behind the development is based on the principles of the traditional neighborhood development (TND). This wave of new builds has become an increasingly popular trend in land planning designed to offer an alternative to conventional residential subdivisions.
Traditional neighborhoods create a cohesive place that restores community life, encourages a more "walkable" lifestyle and brings back the way neighborhoods existed before sprawl development. All homes in The Gardens at Oxbow are custom-built of various sizes as well as custom-designed for the owner.
Entrepreneur Margie Mokhiber purchased her home in the Gardens of Oxbow in 2008 to accommodate the ever-changing needs of her family. As her children grew older and moved into homes of their own, she found that she needed a new space to enjoy; one that would allow for entertaining guests while still being intimate enough for family dinners. The open layout boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and has everything desirable one looks for in a luxury home. From cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace and beautiful Brazilian wood floors, this is not your typical patio home.
Margie is a Certified Nutritional Consultant who promotes healthy living and wellbeing. It makes sense that she spends a great deal of time in her kitchen making healthy and delicious meals for her family and friends. After a long day at work, she finds herself enjoying the beautiful, luxurious views of the pond and fountain from the spacious front veranda.
Although the décor in each room varies in style, Margie has found a way to make it all flow together beautifully. The black and white kitchen is classic, yet fits perfectly within the remaining traditional design that flows throughout the living space.
The outdoor patio area is located off of the kitchen and features a relaxing lounge space with comfortable furniture. The fire pit can be found strategically located in the patio area, setting the tone for entertaining friends and family on those perfect summer nights. This home is ideal for family get-togethers where the family can sit, relax and enjoy the summer!

The Little Cape that Could
5139 Forest Rd ~ Lewiston
This home is located along the prestigious Niagara Falls Country Club golf course off of the well-known, Mountain View Drive. Homes in this neighborhood vary in price as well as in size, but the Ley Family home is something not to miss on this tour.
Rhonda and Alan Ley purchased their house in 2006 and have since been hard at work creating a space that they could entertain guests in and make their own. This Cape Cod style home once had 4 bedrooms, but now features two bedrooms on the first floor, and a large second story master suite. The suite is complete with a walk-in closet, large dream bathroom and even a breakfast nook for morning coffee.
With the help of Kinetic Kitchen and Bath, Rhonda and Alan completely transformed their first floor living and dining space. They took out walls and barriers that secluded them from interacting with their guests. Now when you enter the home, you will be greeted and amazed by the large, open and elegant area. The dining area sits beautifully in front of the updated fireplace, and on top of the original hardwood flooring. Local Artisan, Roz DiBacco of 5 Foxes Glass, has taken the elements within the home and created custom glass tableware! Directly across, you could picture yourself sitting in one of the stools along the large over-sized granite island while enjoying some appetizers. A beautiful built-in bar area is convenient for storage space, as well as, to display cocktails of choice. Be sure to stop and see the before photos of what the home used to look like that are displayed in front of the fireplace.
The Ley's have a passion for collecting wildlife art, which you can see and enjoy throughout their first floor space. The rhinoceros painting that sits on the mantle above the fireplace, and the Chimpanzee (perfectly nick-named "Old Man" by Rhonda) are original Edward Spera paintings from Niagara-On-The-Lake.
A sunken living room showcases two sets of French doors for an abundance of natural light and perfect viewing of the golf course. One set of doors leads you to the outdoor patio, which is a great place to go when a little R&R is needed, or if you just want to grab your set of clubs and go and play a round of 9.

It's been a LONG time since I've posted.
The holidays were great this year, all the family came home and it was fabulous having everyone together in our home. I think the children had a good time. Our grown-up kids went out while we kept all the grand kids. We had a great time with the grands and their parents;
I'm pretty sure the grown ups had a great time, too.
I've been sewing a bit. My friend, Pat Hoaglin, asked me to make a bear and little blanket from her son's baby blanket. Pat has a new granddaughter and wanted these things for her. I'm not particularly fond of making stuffed animals, but she asked and I wanted to do it for her.
Before cutting into the blanket, I thought I should make a trial bear. I went into my "stash" and found this blue fleece. One of the neighbors just had a baby boy a couple of weeks ago, so this trial bear will be for baby Benjamin Douglas.
Next week I'm going to be making something I've not tried before...pictures and updates will follow.

Winter weather arrived on November 17th, 2014
Snow, cold, bitter cold, winds. Winter has arrived early this year. Today we walked by the river where the wind isn't so strong on our walk. It was beautiful...if it weren't so bitterly cold, it would have been fabulous.
The picture below is taken from the Main Street Bridge and overlooks the Cuyahoga River.
This picture on the left is from today's walk. I went today and was exhausted when we got home. I was cold, cold, cold and tired from tracking through the snow and ice. The wind chill was probably about zero degrees. The scenery is beautiful and being outside is good for us.

Our daughter and her husband asked us to care for their kids while they went to Atlanta for a business trip. We were tickled to get to spend some time with those four children...we don't see enough of them. October 17th was Kelly's birthday, so we went to celebrate that special day. The next morning they left for their trip.
Early Saturday morning, I was outside in my pajamas with the dog. I called her to come back in and when I turned, I slipped. I fell, mashing my shoulder, neck and face into the house. Oh gosh...I was in agony. With some help from Rick, I got up and to the couch. I didn't go to the ER or even to the doctor. I knew it hurt (but I was confident that it was not broken) and with Rick's great deal of help, we took care of the kids...who were absolutely angels.
Poor Nathan, 7 years old, came down with a fever and vomiting. He stayed home from school and despite his not feeling well, he was so good. Kelly and Scott returned Tuesday, late afternoon. We were home about 7 pm or so.
I was having trouble swallowing and that worried me. I knew I needed to have some x-rays of my shoulder, and that lump when I swallowed was a real concern. I went to see an orthopedist and had x-rays. The lump in my throat was caused by calcium spurs that broke off when I fell. That would go away in time, but the shoulder...it was broken in two places. The humorous bone and the glenoid bone. UGH.
Now I need to see my shoulder surgeon to find out just what needed to happen. I saw Dr. Bell on Tuesday morning, Tuesday afternoon I had an MRI and then today (Thursday) went to see him again. Good news! Despite the broken bones, the rotator cuff looks like it's in tact and surgery is not needed. I will wear my sling for two more weeks, then start 6 weeks of physical therapy. So glad no surgery.
I'd not had anything for pain except ibuprofen, but I've not been sleeping well. Dr. Bell (and the first doctor, both) offered me something for pain. I don't really like taking anything stronger than I need, but the pain was really wearing me down. So, I said having something by prescription would be helpful. Boy! I took ONE oxycodone and I feel like I've been drinking. I'm so mellow. I expect I sleep better tonight than I have since I hurt myself.
I don't have any photos to post...nothing to see.
I have to rest, but I have so very much to be grateful for. I am also so lucky that Rick is such a kind man and is so good to me.
Think I've rambled enough for tonight. Sleep well, sweet dreams and ... as my friend Diane Glassner says, I wish you "enough". "Enough" is all we need.
Love to my family, love to my friends and peace to all.

Kelly's (and Scott's) Quilt
Last year, about this time, the color fabric was purchased while on a trip to Houston, Texas, with my daughter. She picked out the fabric and I promised her a quilt.
I've always been fond of the "modern" style of quilting...kind of minimalistic. I purchased a lot of white-on-white fabric and took some pencils and graph paper and designed this. After drawing it out and doing my math calculations, I had my dear hubby check my numbers. He caught a couple of errors that I made, thankfully before any fabric was cut!! He's a handy man to have around, for sure!

Well, after about a year, the quilt is complete! Rick and I took it to her (and her dear husband) and gave it to them today. They were pleased.
I hope that in years to come, when they see this quilt and/or use it, they will think of all the love that went into it. After all, love is the greatest gift of all, isn't it!

Fathers' Day to my dad
My father has been gone since January 1, 1966. I had just turned 16 years old two days before his death. I didn't know he was ill...Mama never told us kids (me the youngest) how ill Daddy was. He had a heart attack (his first) while driving the car. He and Mama had been on vacation and were almost home. Mama kept her senses and brought the car safely to a stop but Daddy never made it home. Enough about that part.
Daddy was a kind man. Probably one of the most kind-hearted men I have ever known with the exception of my husband, Rick. Daddy was honest, hard working and as I said, kind. He taught all of us kids right from wrong, how to be tactful, how to do many things. I remember a lot about my dad...more than my older sister and brother, which is surprising to me as they had more years with him.
I remember him planting the tiny oak sapling in our yard. We would water that tree every night -- I would be right beside him, helping. That giant oak is still in my yard, giving home to squirrels and birds and supplying our home with wonderful shade and plenty of acorns! He taught me - his tomboy - how to use the jigsaw and make puzzles. He taught me how to splice electrical cords, how to whittle, how to garden and how to look at people without judging. He also taught me how to apologize when necessary.
Daddy ate "funny" things sometimes. He liked pickled pigs feet. They looked horrible to me, so of course I've never tasted them. He also ate crushed saltine crackers with coffee on them. Funny how people like different things!
I'm lucky that I had my dad for 15 years. I wish I had him in my life for a longer time, but I'm grateful for the years he was on earth. Daddy loved Mama and all of us kids.
Happy Fathers' Day!
