Men's Volleyball Opens 2014 Home Schedule With IPFW, No. 15 Ball State
The Princeton men's volleyball team will open its home schedule this weekend when it takes on both the IPFW Mastodons and the 15th-ranked Ball State Cardinals in a pair of night matches.
Princeton started off its season with it annual California trip, and it dropped matches to both Cal-Baptist (3-0) and NAIA champion Concordia (3-2). Despite the losses, there were several positives for Princeton, including the play of two underclassmen. Sophomore Devin Stearns looks like he is ready to take a step forward after a strong freshman year, as he averaged 3.3 kills and hit .420 for the weekend.
Freshman Junior Oboh, the lone new starter in the Princeton lineup, led the Tigers in blocks and hit .400 during the two matches. He averaged just under two kills per set as the replacement for All-East middle Michael Dye.
Senior Pat Schwagler, a 2013 first-team All-EIVA honoree, led the Tigers with 3.6 kills per set, while junior Tony Ensbury paced the defense with 2.9 digs per set.
IPFW, which had been nationally ranked earlier this season, is 3-2 on the season, including a win over Cal-Baptist and another against Saint Francis, an EIVA program. Ball State, which is taking a tour of the EIVA early this season, is 3-3 and coming off a 3-2 win over IPFW. Two of Ball State's losses this season are to EIVA squads Saint Francis and Penn State, and the Cardinals will begin their weekend taking on George Mason Friday night.
Following this weekend, Princeton will open EIVA play with road matches at both Harvard and Sacred Heart.

Fire crews manage brush fires in Oak Hill, Osteen
2 fires in Flagler County each less than 1 acre
Published: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 4:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 11:06 p.m.
Fire crews have managed to quell for the most part two fires in Volusia County that sprung up Saturday afternoon.
A fire in Oak Hill, which was spotted about 12:47 p.m. at 15 to 20 acres, grew to about 100 acres shortly after 4 p.m., a spokesman for the Volusia County Professional Firefighters Association said. Crews from Volusia County, New Smyrna Beach, Deltona, Brevard County and the Florida Forest Service were called to battle the blaze. By 5 p.m. a helicopter from Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge was called to assist.
By about 8 p.m., crews had established fire lines around all of the Oak Hill fire near Interstate 95 and Osteen-Maytown Road, the spokesman said.
Volusia County units were also called Saturday afternoon to a fast-moving brush fire near the Quail Roost Ranches subdivision in Osteen, the spokesman said. The fire started off Boy Scout Camp Road and required nearly 40 water drops from a forest service helicopter from Ocala. Seminole County also assisted with the Osteen blaze.
Crews had the Osteen fire about 50 percent contained by about 8 p.m., the spokesman said. The fire claimed a pole barn and two vehicles by 4:30 p.m.
Another fire near Osteen was spotted about 5 p.m. near Seminole Run and River Run roads. The size of the fire was not immediately clear.
There also were two small fires in Flagler County during the afternoon, each less than an acre, officials said. One of the fires was near County Roads 305 and 90, and the other near the White Eagle Lounge off U.S. 1. Both are reported to be under control.
A Red Flag Warning was issued for noon to 8 p.m. in most Central Florida counties, including Volusia and Flagler, because of very low humidity, according to the National Weather Service.
The Keetch-Byram Drought Index averaged 555 Saturday in Volusia County and 465 in Flagler, on the scale of zero to 800, with 800 being desert-like conditions, according to the Florida Forest Service.

Padma Lakshmi
Madras, India
"In southern Spain, they made me eat a bull's testicles. They were really garlicky, which I don't like. I prefer to take a bull by the horns, not by, um..."
- Padma Lakshmi
After modeling for Versace, Armani and Ralph Lauren, Padma Lakshmi landed her own cooking show, Padma's Passport, on the Food Network. Along with her own show, Padma has penned a few cookbooks including Easy Exotic and Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet. Padma Lakshmi also co-hosts the top-rated Bravo show, Top Chef, for which she was nominated for an Emmy in 2009. Padma has also appeared in the movie Glitter, alongside Mariah Carey; a rare jump from Bollywood to Hollywood, and The Mistress of Spices with Aishwarya Rai.
With rich, cocoa-colored skin, lingering jet-black hair, chiseled cheekbones, and razor-sharp eyebrows atop dramatically black eyes, Padma Lakshmi represents all the good things to be found in women: mystery and sensuality with a touch of international class. Plus, a body so exquisite it makes you want to navigate it like the Ganges River.
A student of acting, Padma moved on to do what she knew best. Her first two Bollywood films, Sandokan: The Darkness and the Light (1998) and Caribbeans (1999), were met with lukewarm reception; however, they did plant her name in Indian fame. But it was her cookbook, Easy Exotic: A Model's Low-Fat Recipes from Around the World, a compilation of international recipes, that made her name truly international. So much so that she wound up hosting a Food Network show, Padma's Passport.
Padma Lakshmi starred in two other movies, Glitter (2001) and Boom (2003), which unfortunately tanked with both their American and Indian audiences. She decided to produce her own work instead, and founded a production company. Her first film will be an adaptation of a story by her ex-husband, Salman Rushdie. Her success in filmmaking has yet to come.
Padma Lakshmi BiographyBorn in Madras, Indian, on September 1, 1970, Padma Lakshmi spent most of her adolescence in the United States. From a very young age, Padma knew she was beautiful. In fact, she recalls having worn her first seductive dress at only 9 years old. It was always her dream to be a model. Her mother, however, insisted that Padma get a college degree first, telling her that if she was beautiful at 17, she'd be beautiful at 21 with a degree in hand.
Around that time, Padma Lakshmi got into a serious car accident, which left a seven-inch scar on her right arm. This would become her signature feature -- that curious imperfection that makes her all the more lovely and exotic.
padma lakshmi pens easy exotic
Padma Lakshmi attended Clark University in Massachusetts and got a bachelor's degree in theater arts. Her last semester of college was spent in Spain, where she landed her first modeling job. She also caught the attention of Helmut Newton, a photographer notorious for his stylish female nudes. Giant fashion mags like Vogue, Elle and Glamour rushed to get her decadent body in their pages as well.
After graduating, Padma Lakshmi moved to Italy for a few years, where she cohosted the TV show Domenica in Rai. She also trekked across the international runways for such labels as Versace, Armani and Ralph Lauren. While trotting the globe, Padma Lakshmi, an unabashed foodie, picked up and compiled low-fat recipes from every imaginable country. Her amassed culinary adventures culminated in Easy Exotic: A Model's Low-Fat Recipes from Around the World, a cookbook that became a bestseller.
padma lakshmi in glitter
Padma Lakshmi's frequent returns to her subcontinent home resulted in her starring in two Bollywood films, Caribbeans and Sandokan: The Darkness and the Light. She became so recognized in India that American studios tried to capitalize on her talents. She was cast as Sylk in the 2001 box-office bomb Glitter, starring Mariah Carey. That same year, she guest-starred in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.
In 2003, Padma Lakshmi starred in her biggest Bollywood flick yet: Boom, a story of three Indian supermodels caught in a diamond heist. Sadly, this movie tanked as well. But box-office success (or the lack thereof) proved no hindrance to the model's love life. Padma Lakshmi started dating Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie, with whom she created a cinematic partnership and would go on to marry in 2004, then later divorce in 2007.
padma lakshmi hosts padma's passportPadma Lakshmir's first cookbook, Easy Exotic, did so well that she was offered her own cooking show on the Food Network, The Melting Pot -- Padma's Passport, in 2001. Since then, her popularity with foodies everywhere has soared, and Padma has also hosted a documentary series (about food around the world, naturally) called Planet Food, and most notably Top Chef (2006), on which she is a judge and host, and which has become a top-rated cooking show on Bravo.
padma lakshmi in the mistress of spices Padma Lakshmi's talent isn't limited to behind the cooking counter on reality TV, as her acting past as proven. In 2005, Padma starred in The Mistress of Spices alongside Aishwarya Rai and Dylan McDermott.
Despite her love for the big screen, Padma Lakshmi returned to television in 2006 with a role as Moses' mother in The Ten Commandments and Sharpe's Challenge, a miniseries set in India shortly after the times of Napoleon and right in the midst of British rule. While the miniseries was English-language, Padma was able to appeal to her Indian audience as well, dealing with a location and history she knew well.
padma lakshmi is named no. 66 in 2008 top 99
Padma Lakshmi's first cookbook, Easy Exotic, sold so well that the Food Network gave her her own show in which she travels the world tasting the most exotic dishes imaginable. Meanwhile, Padma created her own film production company, Lakshmi Productions. Her first film is reported to be based on a short story by the love-stricken 56-year-old Rushdie, The Firebird's Nest.
In addition to releasing her second cookbook, Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet, in 2007, and divorcing her husband, Padma Lakshmi landed on our Top 99 Most Desirable Women list in 2008. Upon hearing of her position on this list, Padma said, "Thanks to all those who voted for me!" Although she didn't make the list in 2009, she is a nominee yet again for 2010.

|Raudenbush First WAC XC Honor
DENVER—Idaho distance-runner Halie Raudenbush was named the Western Athletic Conference women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for the week of Aug. 26 – Sept. 1.
Raudenbush, a sophomore from Boise, Idaho (Timberline HS), placed first overall on Saturday at the Clash of the Inland Northwest to lead the way for the Vandal women.

ZF-5666: jQuery UI TabContainer rendering incorrectly
There's a bug in the jQuery UI TabContainer helper that makes the tabs not render correctly.
Screenshot of tabs: !http://freeimagehosting.net/uploads/…! www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?5a232fe8db.png" rel="nofollow">Full Size
The problem is the addition of child element in the javascript function, as shown in the below diff that fixed the problem.
// Diff output
< $js = sprintf('%s("#%s > ul").tabs(%s);',
> $js = sprintf('%s("#%s").tabs(%s);',
Screenshot after diff: !http://freeimagehosting.net/uploads/…! www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?aaa4bd0ecb.png" rel="nofollow">Full Size
Changed assignment to me.
Hello Brian,
can you tell me the jQuery UI Version that you are using?
Schedulded for the next release (Either 1.8 or 1.7.5)
Hi, I am trying to get this component working for subforms and mine does not display with tabs.
It does work with the following diff (and without the diff noted previously):
93c93 < $list = '
ul class="ui-tabs-nav">'.PHP_EOL;
$list = '
- '.PHP_EOL; 133c133 < . '
. '

'.PHP_EOL;
I am using the following JQuery includes:
The screenshots look like they were taken from the example at http://zendframework.com/manual/en/…
I was trying to get that example working before implementing with my own forms and am wondering if the rest of the example is available somewhere (headers, javascript, css stylesheet).
@Laura: which UI version and which stylesheet are you using?
Here are the contents of my jquerytest.phtml (jquerytestAction in the controller is taken directly from http://zendframework.com/manual/en/…):
jQuery UI Tabs - Default functionality
<?=$this->form ?>
I did also try adding this line with same functional results (different styling):
ZendX is from the Zend 1.7.4 release.
(Sorry for the slow replay, was expecting the issue tracker to email me... will have to look for that setting...)
Okay, I get it... should have been $("#tabContainer").tabs() in the javascript...
I still think it would be useful to add this to the example, along with the javascript and stylesheet includes.

Better call quick: Pago's Annual Pumpkin Tasting is on October 30. Scott Evans and Chef Michael Richey always serve seasonal foods, but for this festive fall feast they get downright Hallmark-specific about things: Every course has pumpkin in it. This year:
Heirloom Pumpkin Chowder
Pumpkin Ravioli: roasted pumpkin, houemade ricotta, soft garlic cream sauce, herbs
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Three courses for $30. Call 801-532-0777 or go to pagoslc.com.
Pumpkin-stuffed ravioli is a traditional Italian dish, usually made with brown butter and sage leaves. I love it, but I never want to make ravioli, or even pasta. It's my firm belief that not everything is better when it's homemade, and my ravioli is a perfect example.
(As are the baguettes. And puff pastry. Uh-oh. This is going to be a long list. Back to the subject.)
Anyway, I have been looking for a recipe that allows me the same pleasure, but with less effort. And I think this Donna Hay recipe might be it:
1 kg pumpkin, peeled, seeded and diced into 1/2 inch cubes (about 2 1/4 lbs.)
400g Papperdelle or fettucine (round off to 1 lb.)
olive oil
75g butter (mmm...maybe 3 ounces)
3 Tbsp. whole sage leaves
1 cup grated parmigiana reggiano
sea salt and cracked pepper
Being a metrically retarded American, I translated it into the measurements into ounces and pounds, approximately.
The rest of the recipe sounds easy.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the pumpkin in a baking dish and sprinkle with a little oil. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and soft.
Just before the pumpkin is ready, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water until al dente. Drain. While the pasta is cooking, place the butter and sage in a saucepan over low to medium heat and allow the butter to simmer until a golden brown colour.
To serve, place the pasta in serving plates and top with the pumpkin and parmesan. Spoon over the brown butter and sage leaves and season with salt and pepper. Serves 4.
Of course, I'm going to have to jigger with it a little. I plan to put the sage leaves in the butter while it was browning. And I'll toast pine nuts and sprinkled them on top. Crumbles of goat cheese or ricotta would also be good.
This is on my weekend cook list, so I'll let you know if it satisfies the pumpkin craving. And IF you try the recipe, let me know what you think.

|Three Vandals recognized
DENVER – The Western Athletic Conference honored three University of Idaho track and field athletes on Tuesday with Verizon Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week accolades for their efforts at last weekend's season-opening meet.
Freshman Ben Ayesu-Attah and senior Jeremy Klas claimed the Verizon WAC Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors, respectively, while junior Kristine Leonard earned the Women's Field Athlete of the Week honor.
Ayesu-Attah (Coquitlam, British Columbia) started off his Idaho career in grand fashion with a victory and meet record in the men's 400m dash. He ran a 49.75 to break the eight-year-old former record of 49.88. His time officially converts to a 49.15 for track size and is the fastest in the WAC so far this season.
Klas (Moscow, Idaho) broke his own meet record and came up just short of his own school record on Saturday with a height of 17-4.5 (5.30m) in the pole vault. That mark is tied for eighth-best in the NCAA so far this season. Klas went out after three strong attempts at 17-9.25 (5.42m) and most impressively, did so while still working from a shortened, six-step approach.
Leonard (Rathdrum, Idaho) posted two personal bests in three events and finished second or better in each one over the weekend. She started out on Friday with a win and a PR 154-8 (47.14m) in the indoor discus competition, then followed it up later that day with a career-best 52-0.5 (15.86m) for a runner-up finish in the 20-lb. weight throw. On Saturday, she capped things off with another runner-up finish and a toss of 44-0.5 (13.42m) in the shot put.
The honor is the first for Ayesu-Attah, the second for Leonard and the fifth for Klas. The Vandal track and field team claimed three Indoor WAC Athlete of the Week awards in all of the 2011 season.
A small group of Vandals will compete on Saturday at the Bronco Invitational at Nampa, Idaho. Klas, Leonard and Ayesu-Attah will lead the next full team effort into the Cougar Indoor on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27-28, at the WSU Indoor Facility.

Opening Statement:
"Ok...thanks for coming today. Obviously, the events on Sunday, it was a very tough day for not only Cory Hahn and his family and his baseball family, which is us. The family is in a healing process, I'm happy to say, and happy to say that Cory is in a healing process right now and as of anything, our team is in a healing process. I think what has been awesome is in the last couple of days our guys have been able to go see Cory and be able to talk to him. I too, have had the opportunity to go see him and talk to him on many occasions through the situation since Sunday and nothing but hope, nothing but positive prayers that we have been receiving has just been incredible...incredible the Sun Devil nation that has stepped up for this thing...the fans...the former Sun Devils and trust me, his family is hearing these things, and Cory is hearing these things and it's a big boost to him and the situation. I am very excited about that and proud, very proud the Sun Devil administration and Arizona State...everybody how they have handled themselves in uncharted waters. Just to see the response, how everyone has come to the help factor, the human factor in this whole thing has just been incredible and just a true statement to our University, and a true statement on what people do, and they come to help. I will say this, what we are looking to do as a team is getting some bracelets made up for our games, its going to have a great little saying that reflects Cory, and what you would be inside a clubhouse, and who Cory is. The kids are also going to put Cory's number on their hats, and the other thing we decided as a team is we have these new stirrups this year and we have the "A-S" on the calves, we are going to go ahead and put the number 34 below that "A-S". It's just little ways for the healing process for the healing process to continue and as we are handling this thing as a group, as anything else that's just part of the equation, and Cory is obviously very involved in what we are doing right now and having great conversations with his teammates and that's been great. As a team, as anything else, we talk about this all the time in our program...its life lessons...but you can never get the pitch back...you can never get the situation, the at bat, the ground ball, the pitch, you can never get that back. But what you can do is keep looking forward, looking at the next pitch, the next at bat. You talk about this, and that's your preparation to play a game, but its also your preparation for life, and what a great test for us to continue that. I don't think I have been more proud of a group of young men in a situation than what happened on Sunday. You are talking about a situation that nobody has been involved with in their baseball careers, yet they have this happen in the first inning of a ballgame. To see your fallen teammate, a guy that your in the trenches with. A special part of ASU baseball and why its such a great experience for kids is its just not the act of winning baseball, but its what it provides for you, and it provides a lifelong lesson, a life long family type atmosphere, and if you have been through this thing, you know what I am talking about. To see that happen in front of you, and have him carted of in front of you, there was a lot of emotion, a lot of tears in the dugout. The true sense on why I know this team will be fine, on why this team will continue, to do what this team came here to do, is the way they responded there. They just went right out and played a baseball game that I am sure, deep-down, didn't mean a whole lot. Didn't mean as much as it did, and hour beforehand. But they sure as heck continued to play the game they way they wanted to, played it with emotion, they played it with passion, and move forward toward the hospital and see Cory. I think that's the biggest thing we have going for us right now, we are going to move forward, we are going to play Delaware this weekend, and there are baseball games, and this is a weekend of baseball games and I will tell you that media questions will be geared toward Delaware, and our team, out of respect for our family, respect for our healing process is we are going to move forward, and talk about Delaware, preparing ourselves to play Delaware, and that's how we are going to move forward in this thing"
On Delaware:
I'll tell you what, four game set against Delaware, they are going to be a team that is going to be a great challenge, because they are going to play baseball. They are going to make you hold runners, make you play for one run. It's a great situation for us in the sense with the new bats, its forcing people to play a bit better team baseball, and this is going to be a weekend they challenge us, and ask us to handle some pressure, that will be a great challenge for us to answer that. On Vets on this team: The ability to handle adversity, and the ability being comfortable in uncomfortable situations is exactly what these kids have done their whole careers here. To me, it's a slider in the dirt and we are still going to be hunting fastballs. You are going to take some sliders, you are going to get them, there is no doubt that you are going to get some sliders and you are going to get them in the dirt, its just a question on if you are going to keep swinging at them, or just keep looking fastball, and that's the mantra these guys are going to go with. These guys love to play baseball; we had a great practice yesterday. We had a day off on Monday, but they loved those three and a half hours they were out there yesterday. They loved it because it reminded them on why they came here. They came here to have a great experience and to play baseball and I was really impressed and really proud on how they came out and continue the process of playing winning baseball.
On how Coach is coping:
Well, its not in coaching manual 101 doesn't say this is what happens. I am sure it's been tough on the media because there hasn't been much coming from us. I will be honest with you. It wasn't because we didn't want to share and let you know, it was a situation where we weren't ready, none of us were ready. We were ready to just be there, as much as we can for Cory, and as much as we can for ourselves, and like I said the healing process and handling this and dealing with this as our family member. That is the truest statement I can tell you. You are never prepared, but you have to make a decision, and it hasn't been easy. It hasn't been an easy couple of day, but my gosh, what we have is hope. We have hope. I continue to hold that hope and I think we all hold that hope that good things happen. On moving forward: I think that's the greatest thing we have, is playing baseball. But listen, its not a normal week. Who are we kidding? It's not. It's a sense of how normal can we get. I am not asking to be normal from nine am to one pm. I am not asking for it to be normal from six pm to 11 because there are thing on these young men's minds, on all our minds. But from 1:30-6, the ability to walk on that baseball field, something you have always done, is a cleansing, healing process. You have the family out together, and we are all doing something that we love, and I think that's the ability on keep moving forward
On the type of player Cory is:
Heckuva player. And he is a heckuva young man. One of the best talents that I have seen. To start as a freshman, if you follow ASU baseball, you would know to be a freshman starter on a Friday night, he is a pretty good player. To be that you have to be more than a player, you have to have the edge, you got the attitude, and he definitely is that kid.

School: Christ the King School
Sport: Gymnastics
Grade: Third
Team: Buckhead Gymnastics
Injury/disorder: Broken right elbow
Quote: "I was always moving. I felt like gymnastics was a good sport for me since I always love doing handstands and cartwheels."
For Kate Euart, ballet didn't involve enough cartwheels.
Gymnastics, however, is a perfect fit for the active 9-year-old who started on a dance floor. Kate took right to the sport at age 4, enjoying the freedom to jump, flip, run and dance.
"I just like to move how I want to," Kate said. "Gymnastics is definitely more exciting to me."
Training and competing at Buckhead Gymnastics, Kate committed herself to regular practices and meets. Gymnastics became part of her routine.
While practicing on the beam in April 2012, Kate over-rotated a handstand and fell to the mat, injuring her right arm.
"I had never broken a bone before," Kate said. "I knew it was a new feeling. I kind of knew I had broken something. I was scared."
Kate's parents, Jef and Tamsin, were at their son's baseball game when they received a call from the coaches at the gym. They rushed to pick Kate up and brought her to the Emergency Department at Scottish Rite hospital.
"You just don't know what to expect," Tamsin said. "You never want to see your child get hurt, especially doing something she loves."
An X-ray helped Allan Peljovich, M.D., M.P.H., Medical Director of the Children's Hand and Upper Extremity Program, confirm that Kate had broken her right elbow. Kate had to be put to sleep so Dr. Peljovich could adjust her arm into the right position and cast it.
Kate wore the cast for about six weeks, which was quicker than her parents expected. Fortunately, Kate had her age working for her.
"Children tend to heal much quicker than grown-ups," Dr. Peljovich said. "We can get them out of a cast a little bit sooner and get them to rehab a little sooner, especially these young athletes that want to get back as quickly as they can."
After the cast came off, Kate went to physical therapy at Children's twice a week for about two months. The strengthening exercises she did, like pushups and lifting weight balls, helped her get ready to return to gymnastics.
"She would do an exercise for a period of time and then they would move on," Jef said. "It was very rapid fire, one exercise to the next, gradually working her strength up."
Once Kate was physically ready to return to gymnastics, she had to get ready mentally. She missed the fun and camaraderie of her gymnastics team, but she was worried about reinjuring her elbow.
After talking about it with her parents, Kate returned to the gym.
"I thought about how fun it would be to do it again," Kate said. "I knew I loved it. I was definitely cautious about it because the doctors said to be careful."
In her first meet back, Kate had to perform a handstand on the beam. With the rest of the events completed, everyone's attention was on Kate as she nailed her routine.
"It felt like I had a lot of pressure on me, like the whole world was staring at me," Kate said. "I was very happy that I made the handstand and was very happy that I didn't fall."
"Children tend to heal much quicker than grown-ups," said Allan Peljovich, M.D., M.P.H., Medical Director of the Children's Hand and Upper Extremity Program. "We can get them out of a cast a little bit sooner and get them to rehab a little sooner, especially these young athletes that want to get back as quickly as they can."

School: Walton High School
Team: Walton Raiders
Sport: Tennis
Grade: 10th
Injury/disorder: Spondylolisthesis
Quote: "I'm always ready to be out there on the court. Sometimes I may want a day off. But if I have more than that, I get a little jumpy not having anything to do. I have to be out there doing something."
Sophia Guldberg is all about control on the tennis court.
With a pinpoint serve and a punishing forehand, she is able to chase her opponents all over the court. That feeling of action and control is what initially attracted her to the sport.
"There is always something going on," the rising junior at Walton High School said. "You don't have to sit for entire innings or parts of games. You get to control what is going on."
When lower back pain turned into a serious condition, Sophia had to give up control of her athletic career and trust the physicians and therapists at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Sophia began experiencing lower back pain in February 2011. Several months later, that pain turned into numbness and tingling in her legs. When her parents took her to get an X-ray, they weren't expecting anything serious.
"We were expecting to go in and get a prescription for physical therapy," Sophia's mother, Tina Guldberg, said. "Instead, we walked out needing to schedule a surgery."
Robert W. Bruce Jr., M.D., Medical Director, Orthopaedic Neuromuscular Program, diagnosed Sophia with spondylolisthesis, a genetic spine deformity in which a vertebra slips out of position. By the time she was diagnosed, Sophia's spine had 80 percent slippage.
"It was mostly just shock at first," Sophia said. "I didn't completely understand how serious the surgery was. I didn't see it as big of a deal was it really was. I couldn't even comprehend it."
Dr. Bruce performed a spinal fusion on Sophia a couple of weeks after diagnosing her. After a few months of recovery, Sophia began physical therapy with Caroline Bradley, P.T., D.P.T., C.S.C.S., at Children's at Sandy Plains.
Bradley started Sophia with stretching and range of motion exercises before moving on to strengthening her core. Bradley finished Sophia's physical therapy with back strengthening exercises before releasing her to play tennis.
Sophia earned a spot on her high school's team after coming back from physical therapy. Unfortunately, while playing on spring break the following year, Sophia felt something pop in her back.
An X-ray by Dr. Bruce showed that her spine had never fully fused and the rods placed in her spine had snapped. Sophia had to go through another spinal fusion and another round of physical therapy.
"I think my recovery went smoother, but emotionally it was harder because I knew what I was in store for. It was hard for me to do again," she said. "But ultimately, I think it made me stronger."
Bradley was a little more cautious for the second round of physical therapy. Like the first round, Sophia did what she had to so she could get back to the court.
"With any athlete there is always going to be a level of fear when returning to a sport after a severe injury," Bradley said. "With Sophia, she not only had to come back to tennis once, but she came back twice. It has been a long road to recovery, but she has always remained positive and focused."
Sophia recovered in time to once again earn a spot on Walton's tennis team as a sophomore. With a healthy back, she helped her team win the Class AAAAAA state championship in May.
"We knew she was mentally tough," Sophia's father, Bob, said. "I was amazed when she came out the second time that she had absolutely no doubt that she would be back to playing tennis. That is what she wanted to do. I feel sorry for her opponents because no one has been through what she has."

Injury/disorder: Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in November 2012
Quote: "I just want to be all the way up here with my life and with baseball," he said. "I want to get into the major leagues. That is my goal."
Brandon Clinton tries to stay focused on two things: school and baseball.
When he gets home from school, he spends the next hour or so doing homework at the family dinner table. After his homework is done, he often heads to an indoor baseball facility 30 minutes away to work on his pitching and hitting.
"I practice at least three or four times a week," Brandon said. "We have games almost every weekend."
With his mind so preoccupied with sports and studies, it isn't surprising that his mother was the first person to think something was wrong.
"I noticed that he was going to the bathroom a lot and that he just wasn't himself," Amber Clinton said. "As a mom, I just have one of those gut feelings that something wasn't right."
Brandon's parents brought him to the Emergency Department at Scottish Rite hospital Nov. 7, 2012, 10 days after his 13th birthday. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a condition in which there is not enough insulin in the body.
The first thing Brandon did when the family heard the diagnosis was hug his mom, who appeared more worried than him. As Brandon heard more and more about diabetes from Constance Baldwin, M.D., a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's, he felt more comfortable with what he needed to do.
"If you don't take care of yourself, you can get really sick and possibly even die," he said. "I was really scared about it at first. As the doctors at Children's treated me, they really helped me and now I'm not letting it keep me down."
Brandon and his family took classes with diabetic educators Rosalind Atkins and Kathy Davis at Children's to learn how to manage the condition day to day.
"The diabetic staff at Children's was phenomenal from day one," said Richard Clinton, Brandon's dad. "We went through two days of classes and learned about counting carbohydrates and how to do the insulin injections. They guided us step by step and he was engaged through the whole thing."
Many of the adjustments Brandon had to make may seem like a big deal to most 13-year-olds. He now has to meticulously count the carbohydrates and sugar he eats. He also has to give himself insulin shots regularly and monitor his blood sugar by pricking his finger.
Brandon just added those adjustments into his daily routine and seamlessly transitioned into life as a diabetic.
"I can eat anything I want and I can do all the activities I want. I just have to monitor my blood sugar and make sure I take my insulin," he said. "It is really all the same."
Brandon's parents weren't surprised that he made such a smooth transition after the diagnosis.
"We knew it was going to be a big change for him and how we did things," Richard said. "Just knowing the type of kid he is, I knew he would be able to bounce back from it."
Brandon, a seventh-grader at Haymon-Morris Middle School, had to miss one tournament after he was diagnosed. Not long after, he was back on the field with his team at South East Baseball, working hard toward his dream of being a professional baseball player.
"I just want to be all the way up here with my life and with baseball," he said. "I want to get into the major leagues. That is my goal."
Brandon has been playing baseball for over seven years.

Injury/disorder: Torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in right knee in spring 2011; Re-injured the same knee in spring 2012
Quote: "It was pretty tough for me. I thought a lot, 'That could have been me. I could have been doing this.' I definitely wanted to come back. I worked countless days."
The one football game Aaron Davis played in his senior season at Luella High School left many in the stands and on the sidelines asking, "Where has this kid been?"
To answer that question, you have to go back to 2011 during Aaron's sophomore year.
Playing in his team's spring game at both cornerback and wide receiver, Aaron made a routine play that felt anything but routine afterward.
"I cut and I felt a twist and fell on the ground," he said. "I thought I just tweaked something in my right knee and that I would just walk it off. But something just didn't feel right."
Aaron sat out the rest of the game. The next day, his knee was swollen. The injury he hoped was minor was starting to seem major. His parents, Dewayne and Virginia, took him to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
The MRI showed that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which meant he would likely need surgery. Dewayne sought orthopaedic surgeons in the state and landed on Michael Busch, M.D., the Surgical Director of the Children's Sports Medicine Program.
"He was very thorough in explaining the process," Dewayne said. "He gave Aaron straightforward answers about the time it was going to take to recover. The last thing he told him was that he won't be back for the season. That was very disappointing."
Dr. Busch performed the surgery in August, a week before the start of Aaron's junior year. On top of missing the season, Aaron was upset about what the injury would mean for his future. Aaron earned a lot of attention from big college football programs during his sophomore season. He wanted to use his junior season to earn a scholarship.
"It really bummed me out because we were supposed to have a big season," he said. "I was supposed to be a big part of the team. Then, all of the sudden, nothing."
Aaron worked hard during his recovery to return for spring practice. While participating in a drill at a spring football camp, however, he felt a familiar twinge in his knee. He was not in excruciating pain, but he knew something wasn't right.
"He called me later that night and said, 'We have a problem,'" Dewayne said. "I asked what the problem was. He said 'I hurt my knee. I think I'm OK.' So we weren't sure if it was torn until the day of the surgery."
Aaron had a partial tear in his right knee. He would again need surgery and would likely miss his senior season at Luella.
"That was pretty tough. I really wasn't expecting it," he said. "As it got closer and closer to the surgery, I started to realize that I was going to have to go through the whole process again. That was probably the hardest part."
Aaron came to Children's at Fayette for his second round of physical therapy. He worked with Colleen Crosby, P.T., D.P.T., to build strength through his whole body to help prevent the injury from happening a third time.
"I was doing things much faster than I was before," Aaron said "It took me probably half the time that it did before."
His recovery went well enough that the possibility of playing in his team's last game of the season against Newton started to become a reality.
"We were concerned about what it might do to his possible future," Luella coach Nic Vasilchek said. "In the end, we left it up to him. We weren't really sure."
After making a few catches early in the game, it was clear that Aaron was right back where he belonged. He set a school record for receptions in a game with 14 for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
"He was a superstar," coach Vasilchek said. "It was absolutely amazing. It was well-deserved."
For Aaron, the game was a chance to enjoy being a high school football player one last time. He will move on to the University of Georgia in the fall, where he earned an academic scholarship and preferred walk-on status on the football team.
But he's glad he came back in time to leave his mark at Luella.
"It was excellent," he said. "I wanted to make the most of the opportunity I had. I was a senior, so I might as well go out with a bang."
This future University of Georgia student doesn't let two surgeries get him down. See how he went from an injured high school sophomore to a record-breaking senior.
"He was a superstar," said his high school coach. "It was absolutely amazing."
The one football game Aaron Davis played in his senior season at Luella High School left many in the stands and on the sidelines asking, "Where has this kid been?"
To answer that question, you have to go back to 2011 during Aaron's sophomore year...
School: Sequoyah High School
Grade: Junior
Sport: Cheerleading
Position: Front spotter
Injury/disorder: Benign brain tumor removed in August 2011; Concussion suffered in October 2012
Quote: "It has made me a lot stronger. It has made me realize that there are going to be trials in my life and I'm going to have to figure out a way through them."
Audrey Lockstedt's personality is a perfect fit for cheerleading.
"I thought I would be good at it because I kind of already am a peppy person," said 16-year-old Audrey, who started cheering in the eighth grade.
It wasn't just her personality that made Audrey a staple on the Sequoyah High School football cheerleading squad. Audrey, a junior, also has the leadership ability to get a crowd on its feet.
Audrey used that ability to lift her family up even when she was down.
"Audrey was stronger than the rest of us," Kim Lockstedt, Audrey's mom, said. "We all felt like we were falling apart and she picked us up. I felt guilty at times because she was stronger than all of us. I think she just felt like everything was going to be OK."
On June 17, 2011, Audrey and her older brother Evan fell asleep in the family media room. Early in the morning, Evan started hearing Audrey making strange sounds. She was having a seizure. Evan woke up their parents, John and Kim, and they drove Audrey to Scottish Rite hospital.
When she arrived, Audrey received a computed tomography (CT) scan. It came back normal, but their doctor told the family to follow up with a neurologist.
Audrey received an electroencephalogram (EEG) and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, both of which showed a mass on her brain. It wasn't clear if the tumor was malignant or benign.
Joshua Chern, M.D., a pediatric neurosurgeon at Children's, wanted to operate right away and remove the tumor.
"Dr. Chern is amazing," Audrey said. "He would draw lots of pictures to explain where it was, what he was going to do and how he was going to fix it. That really helped me understand the whole process."
On Aug. 24, 2011, Dr. Chern removed the tumor. Less than a week later, he called the family and told them that the tumor was benign. The relief the family felt was indescribable.
Audrey had to sit out a couple of practices and games, including the homecoming game and parade, after the surgery. She returned to the team three weeks later. Her role was temporarily limited. She had to avoid doing any stunting, but she was just happy to be back with her team.
Eventually, Audrey was able to return to stunting, taking her position as a front spotter for her junior season on the varsity team.
While practicing a difficult stunt in October 2012, a teammate's foot slipped and hit Audrey in the same spot that she had her surgery more than a year before. She fell to the ground and hit the back of her head.
"At first you kind of feel nothing," Audrey said. "Then you open your eyes and you are in some strange place, which for me was the floor. Then the pain starts coming on. Then you feel really dizzy and nauseated."
Kim picked Audrey up and they returned to Scottish Rite, where she received another CT scan and was diagnosed with a concussion.
"Of all the cheerleaders, she's the one that gets hit in the head," said Kim, who can smile about it months later.
The doctor that diagnosed Audrey gave her and her family guidelines on what she could and could not do while recovering. Audrey had to get a lot of rest, avoid strenuous brain activity and avoid looking at screens of any type–including TVs, computers and cellphones.
Audrey also took an ImPACT test after the concussion. She was able to compare that test to the baseline test she took before school started.
"There seemed to be a difference," she said. "I would remember stuff less and have a hard time trying to figure out some things."
Audrey had to miss another couple of weeks of games and practices, including another homecoming game and parade, after the concussion. She said it took her a few practices to get back to herself, but she kept working and finished the season.
"I did think about quitting because I didn't want to risk getting hit again," she said. "I did feel like I was behind and I didn't want to be that burden. But quitting isn't what I do."
The close-knit Lockstedt family is closer than ever. Watching their youngest fight through waves of adversity provided them with enough inspiration to last countless football seasons.
"Seeing her push through and come out on the other side has been really wonderful," Kim said. "It has been an inspiration not just to me, but to a lot of people."
Audrey earned her Comeback Athlete title by recovering from two major brain injuries and returning to cheerleading each time.

Injury/disorder: Transverse myelitis, a rare neurological disorder resulting in paralysis below the waist
Quote: "I just keep telling myself that I will walk again."
One minute, Logan Caudle was a baseball player helping his mother during a charity event. The next minute, he was on the ground, wondering where the feeling in his legs went.
Logan's mother, Misty, still has to fight back tears when recalling the events of Jan. 23, 2010.
The mother-son duo was taking part in a scavenger hunt for Relay for Life. Misty drove to the clues and Logan, an eighth grader at the time, ran out and got them.
"After the third stop, I had really bad cramps in my legs," Logan said. "Within 30 seconds, I was completely paralyzed from the waist down. I was scared to death."
Misty pulled the car over to take care of her son, who was yelling from the fear. When he tried to get out of the car, he collapsed to the ground, unable to move his legs. She immediately called 911 and her son was taken to Gordon Hospital in Calhoun.
A few hours later, Logan was transported to the Intensive Care Unit at Scottish Rite hospital. He was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a neurological disorder that includes inflammation of the spinal cord and results in paralysis.
"We were very confused," Misty said. "There were a lot of whys. Why is this happening? The doctors, physicians and nurses at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta were awesome and encouraging. They said we could get through this."
Logan's doctors told him that he may or may not be able to walk again. He received a plasma transfer after arriving at Scottish Rite and started getting feeling back in his toes shortly after.
Both he and his parents knew that it was a long road ahead and that his baseball career, which started when he was 4 years old, may have ended.
"In the beginning, I was pretty depressed about it," Logan said. "Those first few nights in the hospital, me and my mom just sat there and cried a lot. But I've been building up my confidence and determination. I feel pretty determined now."
After his stay in the ICU, Logan was transferred to the Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (CIRU), where he did exercises to build up his leg muscles and endurance.
Logan stayed at Scottish Rite for about three months after he was diagnosed. His parents, Misty and Barry, stayed at the nearby Ronald McDonald House during his inpatient treatment. He then transitioned to the Day Rehabilitation Program until May of 2010.
Through each step of his treatment, Logan stayed active and determined. That attitude allowed him to make significant progress in a relatively short amount of time.
"He is a very quiet, shy child, but when he wants something, he goes after it," Misty said. "He is very determined. It doesn't surprise me."
When Logan returned to school, starting his freshman year at Gordon Central High School, he was still in a wheelchair. The school's track and field coach, John Rainwater, approached Logan about participating in wheelchair events.
Logan did not even know that there were wheelchair events in track and field. Once he gave it a shot, he knew that it was the right outlet for his competitive drive.
"The wheelchair track and field has given him his confidence back," Misty said. "It couldn't come at a better time. He was really down. I've seen a new light in his eyes."
Logan competes in the shot put, the 200-meter race and the 800-meter race. In his freshman season, he helped win a team state championship in the wheelchair division.
Because he was still growing, Jill C. Flanagan, M.D., a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Children's, performed a spinal fusion on Logan in February. He had to miss his sophomore season on the track and field team, but the surgery barely slowed down his recovery. Logan can now stand and even walk a little with the help of a walker.
As he approaches his junior season, he is bringing with him the same determination that helped him make so much progress since the day he suddenly lost feeling in his legs.
"I just keep telling myself that I will walk again," he said.
"I had really bad cramps in my legs," Logan said, describing a day when he was helping his mother during a charity event in his eighth grade year. "Within 30 seconds, I was completely paralyzed from the waist down. I was scared to death."
At the time, Logan's doctors told him that he may or may not be able to walk again. Thanks to his determination, now he can stand and even walk a little with the help of a walker. And, in track and field wheelchair events, he competes in the shot put, the 200-meter race and the 800-meter race.

"He is a very quiet, shy child, but when he wants something, he goes after it," said Misty, Logan's mother.
"I just keep telling myself that I will walk again," Logan said.

Injury/disorder: Head injury, cuts and broken bones after surviving a tornado in April 2011
Quote: Wendy Ellis, Andrew's mom, said, "The care he received was just phenomenal. But his mindset was 'I'm going to do this.' To overcome so much and to be so little and be a kid, it is just amazing."
After surviving an F4 tornado in April 2011, Andrew Ellis barely resembled the fun-loving kid he was before the storm.
"He was so dirty, I had to show them a picture of him so they knew what he was supposed to look like," said Wendy Ellis, Andrew's mom. "He was just covered in dirt and debris and injuries."
It took a lot of time and hard work before Andrew could get back to being the kid he was before the tornado. More than a year and a half since that tragic day, the 9-year-old football player is able to get back on the field.
"I was fully recovered before I went back out there," Andrew said. "It felt good to get back out there."
Before the storm, Wendy dropped Andrew and his 17-year-old brother, Adam, off at their grandmother's house in Ringgold because the power was out at their home. Just a few minutes after she left her sons, Wendy received a call letting her know that a tornado had touched down by their grandmother's street.
With so much damage and so many emergency vehicles responding, it took hours for Wendy to receive any information about her family. But she eventually heard the tragic news.
Wendy's grandmother, mother, cousin and oldest son died in the tornado. Andrew was being flown to Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn.
She wasn't able get the whole story until Andrew was stable and ready to talk. He said that when the storm started getting bad, his grandmother told him to seek safety in the bathroom.
"She said, 'Get in the bathtub,' " Andrew said. "I was scared, but I didn't really know what was going on."
Shortly after, Andrew heard a loud explosion and felt the bathtub being pulled from the home. Emergency responders found him a quarter-mile away from his grandmother's house.
Andrew was suffering from hypothermia, brain trauma, a broken femur and foot, multiple deep lacerations and burns. After being taken to Erlanger, where he was stabilized and received acute treatment, he was transferred to Scottish Rite hospital.
He was admitted to the Children's Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (CIRU) and treated his multiple injuries.
Throughout his treatment, Andrew maintained a single goal: to return to school at the same time as his classmates. Because of his determination, he was able to walk into school on his first day of fourth grade without a wheelchair, walker or crutches.
"I can do everything I could before the accident," he said.
Seeing Andrew return to the football field after having to take a year off was a special moment for his mother. Wendy fondly remembers watching her oldest son play football for Ringgold High.
"Football has always been a big part of our life," she said. "Having Andrew back out on the field and reliving that was with very mixed emotions. Football is in our genes. To see him out there, it made me so happy that he had overcome so much and was giving it his all."

Throughout his treatment, he maintained a single goal: to return to school at the same time as his classmates. Because of his determination, he was able to walk into school on his first day of fourth grade without a wheelchair, walker or crutches.
When Kaitlin Tatum steps onto a volleyball court these days, she knows she can jump, spike and bump without a problem.
But there was a time not long ago when Kaitlin, a senior at Buford High School, didn't know if she would even be able to play the sport she loves again.
"Sometimes I felt like I would never get to where I needed to be," she said.
When she was 5, Kaitlin rolled her right ankle while chasing a friend in her backyard. The pain and swelling lasted longer than a usual sprain or strain. Kina Alarcon-Tatum, Kaitlin's mom, first took her daughter to see a general orthopaedist, who put her in a cast and on crutches. But after little improvement, Kina requested a referral to a specialist.
They were sent to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta almost a year after the initial injury. Once there, Kaitlin was diagnosed with Trevor's disease, a congenital bone disorder that affects the growth plate. In Kaitlin's case, a benign tumor was attached to the growth plate in her ankle.
"So the tumor basically grows with me," she said. "As I grew up, every couple of years, when it really started to hurt me, I had to have surgery to clean out the tumor as it grew."
Between December 2001 and May 2009, Kaitlin had to have three surgeries—two arthroscopic and one open—to clean out her ankle. All three were done at Children's.
"Her recovery was very difficult," Kina said. "I don't think we realized the type of severity that was going on in her ankle."
Despite the surgeries, Kaitlin stayed active, playing both volleyball and basketball. She also began competing in Miss Georgia Teen USA pageants.
But before her junior year at Buford, Michael Busch, M.D., the surgical director of the Children's Sports Medicine Program, and Jorge Fabregas, M.D., a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Children's, thought Kaitlin should have one last surgery to remove the tumor and fix her ankle for good.
Dr. Busch and Dr. Fabregas performed Kaitlin's fourth and final surgery on May 20, 2011. The recovery process included months of physical therapy that forced Kaitlin to miss her entire junior volleyball and basketball seasons.
"The odds were stacked against me to be where I am today," she said. "It was not likely. It was hard because I didn't want to mess up all the hard work the doctors had put into me and all the physical therapy I had put in. It really took everything I had to go through and do it the right way."
Kaitlin followed the instructions of Children's Physical Therapist Bob Breingan and returned for a successful senior volleyball season. She helped the Lady Wolves reach the quarterfinals of the Class AAA state tournament and earned a scholarship to play at Columbus State University.
Now that her ankle is healed and her confidence restored, Kaitlin feels ready to take on the next level.
"I feel like I can take on the world," she said. "At first, after the surgery, I thought I'd never walk again because it is such a hard process with extreme physical therapy. Through all of that, I was able to come back and play the sport I love."
When she was 5, Kaitlin rolled her right ankle while chasing a friend in her backyard. At Children's, she was diagnosed with Trevor's disease, a congenital bone disorder that affects the growth plate. A benign tumor was attached to the growth plate in her ankle.
After four surgeries, she returned for a successful senior volleyball season. She helped the Lady Wolves reach the quarterfinals of the Class AAA state tournament and earned a scholarship to play at Columbus State University.

ELKHART — The second victim of the Martin's Super Market shooting on Wednesday, Jan. 15, has been identified as Rachelle Godfread, 44.
Godfread's son, Joe Godfread, posted on Facebook Thursday afternoon saying, "For those who don't know, my mom was shot and killed last night at a grocery store. R.I.P. Rachelle Godfread we love you."
Godfread, an Indiana University South Bend sophomore, said that he knows very little about what happened Wednesday at the store.
Rachelle Godfread, her son said, was "very nice, always giving and caring. She was one of the few people who was always there."

Here's an overview of how you may feel after external radiation therapy for kidney cancer:
Your skin in the treated area may become dry, reddened like a sunburn or irritated, and sensitive.
You may feel tired, fatigued, or weak. This feeling tends to increase gradually and becomes worse as radiation continues.
Your fatigue may get worse if you develop an infection, anemia, or dehydration.
You may have hair loss in the area being treated. Although this is often temporary, higher doses may make this permanent. You won't have the kind of hair loss--over the entire head--that is common with chemotherapy.
You may have other symptoms, depending on where the radiation is given. For example, radiation to the abdomen may cause nausea or diarrhea. Radiation to the chest may affect the lungs and lead to shortness of breath. Radiation to the brain may lead to headaches and trouble thinking.
Radiation may worsen the side effects of chemotherapy.
Ask your doctor which symptoms, if any, require that you call him or her right away. For instance, it is wise to call your doctor if you have signs of infection, such as fever or pain.
Long-term side effects of radiation may not show up for many years after you complete treatments. How severe they are depends on the dose, frequency, and location of the treatments. Ask your doctor what you may expect.

With the new season comes bright new makeup colors, show-more-skin clothing styles, and yes, hairstyles that are both cute and low-maintenance. Moore Hair Design in Salt Lake shares three easy 'dos for all personal styles.
1. Let it all hang down with a middle part complete with loosely curled ends.
2. Bring out the bang with a backcombed high pony.
3. Fall in love with a romantic updo fringed with French braids.
With these styles in your look-book, you'll need little more than a fun sundress to scream "Spring" from first glance.

Nice idea. In fact, the department would own any NFA weapons. Upon retirement, an individual police officer would not be able to have one (called constructive possession). In principle he could use one under department auspices. In some states like mine, retired police officers are not automatically granted a carry permit for their pistols so using an M/G would be under very specific circumstances like training.
The only way an officer could buy an NFA weapon is if it were registered by the department as a transferable which means the department is old, or they paid market rates for it after '86.
That 1986 law restricted ownership severely. The number of transferables goes down over the years as individuals buy them for their collections and the amount available is reduced.
There is a reason for this - the anti-gunners won. Over time, only the very rich will be able to afford them.

We are like a stupidly tiny minority, you are more likely to meet a Bahai or a Sikhi in real life.
Although apparently in more liberal areas we are more common from what I hear, like 1/200 rather than 1/5000.
is/was anyone you know extremely negative about this?
yes, grandparents are often very hard with stuff like this. i don't often even think it's worth bothering. i remember my grandfather's unreserved antipathy towards homosexuality, and i can scarcely imagine telling him something like this. well, you're very brave - i genuinely wish you the best of luck...
Reminds me of my cousin. When he married his boyfriend his grandfather disowned him.
Good for you Kirby.
I know you won't physically need them but will you carry tampons in your purse? I know of a few other people who were transgendered that did. I assume its partly for friends in need but it might also be a bit of a psychological security blanket type thing. Don't know much about how the whole thing works actually,
It's because if a girl asks you for such things it's in the girls' unwritten code of honor not to leave her hanging. Men are not expected to carry them around but most girls I know have a couple on their person just in case they're needed. Even if I didn't like a girl I would help her out, only because I know what it's like to be in that kind of situation.
Best of luck to you Kirby.
Also, yes, female breasts are really something else...

This review covers three stays with Anna - this particular one and two in June. My daughter Laura stays with Anna when she has a late shift at her hospital where she is training as a Midwife. We live in Southampton and she does commute a lot but needs to stay somewhere now and again. Laura feels very secure and comfortable with Anna and she will continue to use her throughtout her third year training and beyond when she takes up a permanent post in the future. Thank you Anna.
This was definitely the best room I've booked via Wimdu so far. The room is spacious and equiped with modern furniture. I especially loved the comfy chair and the large shower. I loved having my own bathroom, which was en-suite. Anna and Jan were both very nice people. I didn't talk to them that much, but they seem like good hosts. The house is 5 to 10 minutes away from the tube station on foot and it takes about half an hour to get to most places in the city centre, which is very good for London standards! The house is situated in a quiet street and it was lovely to be able to escape the crowded and noisy city after a long day and sit down and relax in my own private and quiet room.
We had a very nice and pleasant stay in Anna & Jan's house. We were warmly welcomed and Anna provided us with really helpful information how to get around in London. If wished they offer breakfast - continental or english type - which we tried both. And I have to mention, that Jan's English breakfast is definitely worth a try. From beginning to the end of our stay we felt always welcomed.
Excellent accommodation and hosts, convenient located and highly recommended.
We loved our stay here! If you like a warm welcome and feeling at home while you're on holiday, this is definitely the place where you want to stay. Anna and Jan are very nice and can give you a lot of info about London. If you decide to stay here, make sure to order their breakfast, it is a perfect start of the day.
Do notice that you are not in the center of London, although the underground is very easy to use. We only had to walk 5 minutes to the station so we didn't mind at all, but don't forget to include this travelling time while planning your day.
I can totally recommend this room. Nice and helpful host, very nice bathroom and close to the tube
Have no hesitation about staying in Anna's house. The room is beautiful - on the second floor and so sunny and light . Facilities excellent including marvellous en suite and a comfortable armchair. Anna is so welcoming and helpful. It is simple to find and transport easy to town via the Central line. You cross a busy road to get to Park View but the house is extremely quiet. Shops and eating places close by - some near the tube station at North Acton.
Thank you Anna for a lovely stay.
I could not come to the place in the afternoon, after our check-in time, because the host was not available. The room was cosy, with nice double bed and no heating at night time. Bathroom as well did not have a hair dryer. I agreed with the host that we will move out at 12 o'clock and after being 10 minutes late, we were just accused for abusing his hospitality. Host was completely rude at my girlfriend when she politely asked him whether he has a hair dryer. His reply was 'we are not a hotel'. After that, she got cold, thanks for him.
What a breath of fresh air! I arrived later on a Wednesday evening and Anna and Jan were there to welcome me. They were in the middle of cooking dinner and they even invited me to join them. The room is fantastic and large, with a desk, chair and an en-suite bathroom and everything is brand spanking new. The pictures don't do it justice, since it is even better than on the pictures. I would highly recommend this place, since it only takes you about 20 minutes by tube to get to Central London (direct line!) There even is a nice pub in town and a selection of restaurants. In short, the ideal accommodation when you need to visit London!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Warm and comfy
By VC
from Charlotte, NC
These are wonderful for cold nights. I like it that the size is adjustable. That allowed me to feel confidence in ordering them. I've been wearing them for a month now, and the nap feels just as thick and warm as the first try.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best slippers that I've ever bought
By Slipper lover
from Ottawa, Canada
These are the best slippers that I've ever bought. I love the fact that they have an open toe for ventilation. Cozy and warm with great support. I would not hesitate to buy another pair, I'm actually thinking of doing so, just to have another pair on hand.

Excellent product quality
By Patrick
from Chandler, AZ
The sizes run a wee bit small. I had to return a set sized exactly as my wife's shoe size for the next size up. So if your size is at the high end of the size ranges best to go with the next size up.Also, as noted, the toes are exposed with these slippers, so sizing is key if you do not want your toes extending beyond the exposed portion and subject to banging.Other than that, these are a quality product that will last for years under normal wear.
Perfection for my feet
By apples
from Griffin, GA
I have foot problems and these slippers are perfect for my feet. They are warm these cold mornings, but I don't think they will be too warm in higher temperatures. They were the perfect slipper for my needs and that is all I could ask.
Amazing Slippers
By JBH
from Atlanta GA
I bought these for my mother in law because she doesn't like to have to pull shoes on and needs the added support of a full slipper vs a mule style. She also needed the ability to adjust the width to whatever she needed and these slippers were perfect on all fronts
Great comfortable and warm slippers
By Ms. Fat Feet :)
from Denver, CO
I have very wide feet due to numerous surgeries. Ordered larger size per recommendations, but needed to return them to get smaller size. Response was rapid and without any question. Am very pleased with these slipppers.
My feet are singing
By Heddy
from Calgary, Alberta Canada
Because I can't walk and in a wheelchair I do not feel I am testing their durableness. I do feel that their wide fit is comforting to feet that are in constant pain.
Warm and cozy
By Lin
from Tucson, AZ
Use to wear around house and to relax in.
Not perfect.
By Meg
from Chicago
I really wanted to like these - the lining is soft and comfortable and I like the adjustable sizing. However, it leaves your toes exposed, which just doesn't work.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
