Cloverdale, CA 2.2 ppg 2.0 rpgABOUT ARIZONA: The 21st-ranked Wildcats improved to 4-0 on the year with a 74-63 win over New Mexico last Saturday.
With 16.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney continues to lead Arizona in both categories. She is averaging a team-best 2.3 blocks per game, as well. Senior forward Angela Lackey is second in scoring (15.0 ppg) and third in rebounding (5.3 rpg), with fellow senior Tatum Brown second in rebounding (5.5 rpg) and third in scoring with 12.0 ppg.
Two other players -- senior guards Felecity Willis (9.5 ppg) and Lisa Griffith (8.5) -- are both averaging better than eight points per game. Willis is leading the squad in both assists (5.8 apg) and steals (2.3 spg).
PICKNEY NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney has been named Pac-10 Player of the Week for Nov. 15-28. Pickney averaged 16.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots per game in the UA's four straight victories to open the season. She shot a team-high .575 (23-40) from the field and .720 (18-25) from the line during that stretch.
Pickney was named the Tournament MVP at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, leading Arizona to the team title with three wins. In the tourney, she averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
The Player of the Week honor is the first of Pickney's career and the 16th all-time selection for Arizona.
ABOUT UC SANTA BARBARA: UCSB, ranked 15th this week, stands at 3-1 on the season after finishing as runner-up in the Preseason WNIT. The Gauchos garnered wins over UNLV (77-56), Texas Christian (86-61) and Illinois (71-61) before falling to Georgia (85-64) in the championship game on Nov. 22.
Junior guard Erin Buescher is UCSB's top scorer, with 17.8 ppg, and is averaging 7.2 rpg. Senior forward Kristi Rohr is averaging 13.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg, while fellow senior Stacy Clinesmith has averages of 10.2 ppg and 6.5 assists per game. Sophomore forward Kayte Christensen is UCSB's leading rebounder, at 8.2 per game.
UCSB coach Mark French (UCSB, 1973) holds a 230-126 record in his 13th year at the head of his alma mater's program.
THE SERIES VS. UCSB: Arizona has the narrow 4-3 lead in the series with UC Santa Barbara. The Cats have won four of the last five meetings with the Gauchos, including last year's 78-71 win in Santa Barbara.
ARIZONA'S LAST MEETING WITH UCSB: After a 34-point loss to the Wildcats the year before, UC Santa Barbara (then ranked 24th in the USA Today poll) was seeking revenge on its home court, but Arizona still came out on top, 78-71, on Dec. 19, 1998.
The first half was a close one, although UCSB led by eight (40-32) at halftime. The UA opened the second half with a 17-4 run, giving the Cats a five-point lead (49-44) just over five minutes into the period.
UCSB scrapped back to within one point (72-71) at the 1:21 mark, but the Cats hit a crucial shot just seconds later and went on to hit 4-of-6 from the charity stripe over the final 11 seconds to claim the victory.
Angela Lackey notched a team-high 19 points, including 11 in the second half. Elizabeth Pickney broke free of a shooting slump, hitting 7-of-10 from the floor to finish with 17 points and a game-high nine rebounds.
Felecity Willis had 14 points and seven assists, while Reshea Bristol had 11 points and a then-career-high seven assists. Tatum Brown added 11 points and six rebounds as well.
ARIZONA'S LAST TIME OUT: Plagued by poor shooting performances all the way around, Arizona eked out a 74-63 win over regional foe New Mexico on Nov. 27 at home.
Throughout the first half, the Wildcats would make small seven- and eight-point runs, only to have UNM come right back each time. There were seven ties in the first half alone, and New Mexico took a three-point (40-37) lead into halftime.
The second half closely resembled the first, although after taking over the lead with a 15-5 run at the start of the period, the UA never relinquished their lead. The Lobos were as close as two points (59-57) at the 5:06 mark, then the Cats finished the game with a 15-6 spurt that allowed them their final spread.
Four Wildcats reached double digits in scoring, led by Angela Lackey's 16 points. Tatum Brown notched 14 points and a team-high nine rebounds, and Felecity Willis had 14 points and six assists. Elizabeth Pickney contributed 10 points, and Monika Crank pulled down eight rebounds.
SULTANS OF SWAT: The Wildcats racked up nine blocked shots in the contest against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 20. That is the highest single-game block total since the 1985 squad collected 10 at Tennessee-Chattanooga on Jan. 5, 1985. Elizabeth Pickney had five of the UA's blocked shots against Tennessee Tech, a career high for her.
As a team, Arizona has collected 20 blocks already this season, an average of 5.0 per game. The 20 blocks is the highest total ever through the first four games of any season.
LOOKING AHEAD: The Wildcats continue their six-game homestand with a contest against Colorado State on Monday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. On Dec. 10 and 12, Arizona will host the ninth annual Insight.com Bowl Basketball Classic, with a field that features the Cats, Indiana, Middle Tennessee State and Texas Southern.
HEAD COACH JOAN BONVICINI: In nearly a decade at the helm of the University of Arizona's women's basketball program, head coach Joan Bonvicini has collected an unparalleled list of accomplishments, both for the university and for her career.
Now in her ninth year at the UA, Bonvicini has posted a 138-98 (.585) mark and has a 463-169 (.733) record in 20 years as a collegiate head coach. She also has a 22-13 mark in NCAA tournament play and has never lost a first-round game in 13 appearances.
Prior to taking over at the UA, Bonvicini led Long Beach State to 10 consecutive NCAA appearances, including two trips to the Final Four. She registered a 325-71 mark in 12 seasons with the 49ers.
KEEP THE WIN STREAK GOING: Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini has a perfect 17-0 career record against UC Santa Barbara. Two of those wins have come during her tenure at the UA; the rest were accomplished during her 12 years at Long Beach State.
RACKING UP THE WINS: Joan Bonvicini needs only 21 more victories at the UA to collect as many wins as the six previous Wildcat coaches combined.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: Awarded the title of associate head coach during the summer of 1998, Denise Dove Ianello (Northern Illinois, 1991) begins her eighth year at the UA, functioning as both the team's recruiting coordinator and the perimeter coach. Second-year assistant coach Karen Caires (Cal State Northridge, 1990) works with the perimeter players, assists with scouting and recruiting and directs the Joan Bonvicini Hoop Camp. In his first year at the UA, assistant coach Curtis Loyd (Southern Utah, 1994) is involved primarily with scouting and with coaching the post players.
WEDDING BELLS AND BASKETBALLS... AND FOOTBALLS: Associate head coach Denise Dove married UA football recruiting coordinator/wide receivers coach Rob Ianello on July 3 this past summer.
DID YOU KNOW: Since Joan Bonvicini took over the Arizona program in 1991, the Wildcats have gone 72-72 against Pac-10 teams, although they have a 38-16 league mark over the last three seasons combined.
ARIZONA'S PRACTICE SCHEDULE: Here is the upcoming practice schedule for the Wildcats... Tues. Nov. 30 vs. UC Santa Barbara, 7 p.m. McKale Wed. Dec. 1 OFF Thurs.

Dec. 9 2-4 p.m. McKale lifting afterGOIN' DEEP: The best evidence that the UA is a deep squad this season? Lots of people playing lots of minutes. Currently, seven different Wildcats are averaging more than 20 minutes a game, and two more are seeing over 10 minutes a contest. That's nine players averaging more than double digits in playing time.
STRONG SCHEDULE: There are a lot of quality teams which stand between the Wildcats and a fourth straight NCAA appearance in 2000. This year's slate features eight teams which earned NCAA berths last season, including two schools -- UCLA and Colorado State -- that played one another in the Sweet Sixteen. Pac-10 foe UCLA is ranked fifth in this week's AP poll, while Oregon is 13th, UC Santa Barbara is 15th, Kansas is 18th and Stanford is 20th. Hawai'i received votes for ranking this week.
Although this week's USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll was unavailable at press time, UCLA was No. 4 last week, UC Santa Barbara was No. 10, Oregon was No. 14, Kansas was No. 21 and Stanford was No. 22. Colorado State, Louisville, Oklahoma, USC and New Mexico all received votes.
DUALLY SUCCESSFUL: Eleven schools have both their men's and women's basketball teams ranked among the AP Top 25 this week. They are Arizona, North Carolina, Stanford, Connecticut, Kansas, Auburn, UCLA, Illinois, Duke, Tennessee and Purdue.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: During Joan Bonvicini's tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have posted an 81-38 mark in McKale Center, including a 50-10 record over the last five seasons combined. Arizona has a record of 148-146 on its home court since the 1976-77 season.
ON LOCATION: The Wildcats are 1-0 at home this season, 1-0 in road games and 2-0 in neutral contests. Arizona posted an 11-3 mark at home, was 5-8 on the road and notched a 2-0 record in neutral contests last year.
ARIZONA ON THE TUBE: The Wildcats are currently scheduled to make television appearances for four more games...80 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: Seems that the 80-point mark almost always means adding another to the "win" column for the Wildcats. In the 28-year history of Arizona women's basketball, the Cats have posted a 111-15 record when scoring 80 points or more in a game. Under Joan Bonvicini, the Wildcats have gone 71-8 when topping that 80-point plateau.

RECORD WATCH: Lisa Griffith is Arizona's career leader in both three-pointers made (220) and attempted (593). She just moved up to the #12 spot on the UA's top-20 all-time leading scorers' list, and with 949 career points, she needs only 11 more points to move into the #11 spot. Griffith is also on the career top-10 list for games started, coming in at #4 with 86 career starts. She stands at sixth on the career assists list, with 363, and ninth on the career steals chart, with 165.
Felecity Willis is seventh in career three-pointers attempted (148) and eighth in three-pointers made (39). She is holding down fifth place on the all-time assists chart, with her 395 career dishes putting her 24 out of fourth place.
Willis is also on the verge of breaking into Arizona's all-time top 20 scoring list. She has 757 career points, needing only 16 points to join the ranks of the UA's all-time leading scorers.
As only a sophomore, Elizabeth Pickney has already entered the UA's top 10 list for career blocked shots. She stands in seventh place with 44 career blocks.
CAT SCRATCHES: Under head coach Joan Bonvicini, the Cats have gone 23-16 in games settled by five points or less, including a 7-4 mark in games settled by one or two points... The Arizona women's basketball program has a 297-389 (.433) all-time record, however it is 101-53 (.656) from 1994 to present... Joan Bonvicini has a 162-86 career record against Pac-10 teams... Over the last nine seasons, Bonvicini's Arizona teams have won 46 games by spreads of 20 points or more.
CATS TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AT HAWAIIAN REGENT WAHINE CLASSIC: The Wildcats swept through three games in Honolulu on Nov. 19-21 to take the title at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, hosted by the University of Hawai'i.
Arizona garnered victories over Oklahoma (75-59), Tennessee Tech (87-71) and host team Hawai'i (86-73) to open the 1999-2000 season with a perfect 3-0 mark. Sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Cats and was the overwhelming favorite for tournament Most Valuable Player laurels. Senior guard Felecity Willis and senior forward Tatum Brown were named to the All-Tournament Team, as well.
GOOD BEGINNINGS: With Joan Bonvicini at the program's helm, the Wildcats have won five straight season openers and a total of seven in the nine years she has been at the UA.
In the 28 years of Arizona women's basketball, the Wildcats have won 15 season openers. The UA went on to post winning records in eight of those first 14 seasons.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS: For the third year in a row, the Wildcats earned a preseason national ranking. The Cats were ranked 25th in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25, and they were 24th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Preseason Top 25.
The Wildcats were ranked among the top 25 teams in five different "unofficial" preseason polls this fall. The UA's highest ranking in these polls was 13th by Women's Basketball magazine and the lowest was 22nd by both Street & Smith's and the Basketball News Report.
Senior forward Angela Lackey earned preseason third team All-America honors from Lindy's College Basketball and honorable mention All-America laurels from Street & Smith's College Basketball.
SOON-TO-BE WILDCATS: On the first day of the early signing period (Nov. 10), Arizona inked a trio of high school recruits from the state of California. The signees were 5-10 guard Candice Allen (Ontario, CA/Ayala HS), 5-7 guard Aimee Grzyb (San Jose, CA/Archbishop Mitty HS) and 6-3 forward Veranda James (Pomona, CA/Ganesha HS). Arizona still has three more scholarships to give for the 2000-2001 season.
WHAT THE COACHES THINK: Here is the predicted order of finish for the Pac-10 this season, according to the league's coaches...THE CATS AND THE NCAA TOURNEY: Arizona made its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1997, receiving a No. 7 seed in the West Region. The Cats defeated 25th-ranked Western Kentucky in the first round, then went on to scare host and sixth-ranked Georgia (80-74) in the second game.
1. UCLA 6. Washington 2. Oregon 7. USC 3. Stanford 8. Oregon State 4. ARIZONA 9. California 5. Arizona State 10. Washington State WHAT THE MEDIA THINK: Here is the predicted order of finish for the Pac-10 this season, according to the league's women's basketball media members... 1. UCLA 6. Arizona State 2. Oregon 7. USC 3. Stanford 8. Oregon State 4. ARIZONA 9. California 5. Washington 10. Washington State
The 1998 season saw the Cats enter the tournament as the No. 3 seed in the East Region. The UA swept through the first two games, picking up wins over Santa Clara and Virginia, and made it into the Sweet Sixteen, only to fall to then-third-ranked Connecticut.
Last year, the Cats earned a #6 seed in the Midwest Region, defeating 11th-seeded Florida, 87-84, in overtime to nab yet another first-round win. Arizona fell to #3 seed and ninth-ranked Rutgers, 90-47, in the second round of the tourney.
Arizona has been placed in a different region in each of its three years of NCAA tournament competition.
1998-99 IN REVIEW: Despite losing the squad's only two seniors before the season ever started, the very young 1998-99 Wildcats held their own and came up with an 18-11 overall record. After being picked by both the coaches and the media to finish in fifth place, the UA finished fourth in the Pac-10 with a 12-6 mark.
The Cats faced a rough non-conference schedule that featured three teams which spent most of the season among the top four in the national rankings. Arizona went 5-4 against those non-conference opponents, with quality losses to Purdue, Louisiana Tech and Colorado State and a big road win over UC Santa Barbara.
That tough early slate prepared the Cats for a season of Pac-10 play which showed more parity than it has in years. After getting off to a rocky 1-3 start in league play, the Cats rebounded to finish the season 11-3, with wins over Pac-10 co-champion Oregon and over perennial power Stanford.
The Wildcats then received their third consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament, earning a #6 seed in the Midwest Region. The Cats travelled to Piscataway, N.J., for the first- and second-round games, hosted by #3 seed and ninth-ranked Rutgers.
Arizona faced NCAA tourney veteran Florida in the first round of play and defeated the Gators, 87-84, in overtime to move on to the second round for the third straight year. The Cats then took on host Rutgers, only to end the season on a sour note, falling to the Scarlet Knights, 90-47.
For the season, Arizona had its most balanced offense in five years, with four players averaging in double digits in scoring, and ended its season by winning 12 of its final 16 contests. The Cats broke or tied 13 school records this year, including setting new marks in single season free throws made (520) and blocked shots (88).
The Wildcats finished the year as the Pac-10 leader in free throw percentage (.721) and in assist/turnover ratio (0.86). The Cats were second in offense (74.2 ppg), assists (16.59 apg) and turnover margin (+3.79 tpg).
ON THE INDIVIDUAL FRONT IN `99: With 14.4 points per game, forward Angela Lackey led four Wildcats averaging in double digits in scoring. Guard Felecity Willis came in second with her 12.1 ppg scoring average, followed closely by forward Elizabeth Pickney at 11.4 ppg. Pickney was the team's top rebounder with 5.8 per game, while Willis was the team's assists leader, averaging 5.5 apg.
Lackey was second in rebounding with 5.4 rpg, and guard Reshea Bristol posted 11.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, followed by guard Lisa Griffith with 9.7 points and 4.8 assists per game.
Several Wildcats finished the year among the Pac-10 statistical leaders. Bristol was third in the Pac-10 in steals (2.71 spg), and Willis was third in both assists (5.52 apg) and in field goal percentage (.546). Lackey was fifth in scoring (14.4 ppg), Pickney was fifth in blocked shots (1.21 bpg), and Griffith was fifth in assists (4.79 apg).
Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini made her 13th career trip to the NCAA tournament. She has brought her career record in NCAA play up to 22-13, never losing an NCAA first-round game. Bonvicini moved her mark to 134-98 at the helm of Arizona's program and went to 459-169 in 20 years as a head coach.

Bath County Recreation Ponds
Dominion Virginia Power opened the Bath County Power Station Recreational Ponds, near Back Creek, in 1989. Two ponds (27 and 45 acres) have good densities of largemouth bass. The ponds offer excellent sunfish opportunities with fish in the 8-9 inch range, and good numbers of nice-sized channel catfish are present. Trophy redear sunfish are present in the upper pond. The entire 45-acre upper pond and about half of the lower pond are open to bank fishing. The daily largemouth bass creel limit was increased from two to five fish per day in 1995.

We're back at The Town Hall Hotel in Newtown for another BIG night of talented performers and awesome bands. Oh and Marlena Dali, a circus sideshow performer all the way from Venice Beach Freakshow in LA.. Y'know, just to mix things up a little.
This month we're excited to have the bands No Illuminati and Mirella's Inferno grace our stage and of course the open mic from 7pm featuring:
Cassie Judychair
Rachael James
Maxine Kauter
Zara Ahmed
Stefanie Lim
Brigit Murane
Pilot Darcy
(this is not the playing order)
Get in early; the first ten punters will score drink vouchers.. and couches!
No Illuminati – On stage at 11pm
The live show's historical journey takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride through blues rock, electric jazz, alternative rock and modern electronica. Arrangements move from extremes and snatching at everything in between; heavy, growling, distortion laden rock and roll to stripped back acoustic ballads. The band has attracted attention partly due to its unusual and unorthodox sound; the keyboards that form the backbone of the band operate with a moog little phatty analog synthesizer as the bass with the sounds of a variety of tonewheel and transistor organs on the right hand (hammond b3, vox continental, farfisa compact) forming a massive wall of sound.
Mirella's Inferno – on stage at 10pm
Classic literary references, 90s synth throwbacks and an ever growing circle of bandmates culminate to make one of Sydney's most distinctive up-and-comers – Mirella's Inferno.
This alternative-electro pop band is the brainchild of singer/songwriter, Meghan Dea. Drawn to music that is both poignant yet upbeat, Meghan makes music that is carefully balanced. Equal parts dramatic and danceable, their sound reflects a dark intimacy colliding with a subtle vulnerability.
Mixing the high energy of electro with vivid storytelling, Mirella's Inferno gives electronic music a fresh organic feel, allowing a connection to be established beyond just the music heard.
Entry is free!

Fighting HPV Naturally
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Here's some useful information about how to fight HPV naturally. The information can pertain to both high and low-risk HPV. I personally recommend Echinachea and Goldenseal as these are powerful anti-viral herbs.
Avoid cross-infection to other body parts
As with any other highly contagious virus such as athlete�s foot or cold viruses, common sense precautions must be taken to avoid the spreading of genital warts to other body parts. An applicator of some sort should be used and disposed of properly, followed by thorough hand washing, in applying topical solutions to genital warts, since the Human Papilloma Virus is highly contagious and spreads by skin-to-skin contact. After showering, it is recommended to pat the infected area dry with a separate towel and launder the towel without further use.
Herbal supplements
To help aid in the treatment of genital warts, there are several herbal supplements to consider. Some of these supplements have been in use for thousands of years as cures for a multitude of conditions. It is recommended that you check with your primary care physician before taking an herbal supplement to ensure compatibility with your current treatment regiment. When utilizing herbal supplements for a prolonged period of time, it is important to alternate the use of immune enhancing herbs, as the body can develop a tolerance for the herb and thus reduce its effectiveness.
Echinacea or coneflower is a wildflower that grows primarily in the prairies of the Midwestern United States (as far south as Texas). Native Americans have used this herb for generations for medicinal purposes, and the pharmaceutical community is beginning to understand its healing properties. Most notably, Echinacea is known for its ability to boost the immune system, which is important in the treatment of genital warts, especially in the prevention of physical signs.
Another herbal medicine with Native American roots is Goldenseal. The Cherokee Indians use Goldenseal as a means to flush wounds, treat inflammation and heal skin diseases. Goldenseal is now understood for its natural antibiotic properties and can be used as a supplementary wash for genital warts, as it destroys many types of viral infections.
Used in Chinese herbal medicine for over 2000 years, Astragalus is known to improve the body�s ability to fight off viral and bacterial infections, such as the Human Papilloma Virus, by boosting the body�s immune system. Astragalus has been taken as a supplement by people undergoing chemotherapy to help restore their tired immune systems.
Garlic powder tablets
Once used in 1550 BC by Egyptians as an external treatment for tumors, garlic has long since been recognized for it�s medicinal values. Of the many benefits garlic has on the human body, it promotes the ability of white blood cells to fight infection. A natural antibiotic, garlic is effective in countering bacteria, fungus and viral conditions. Taking garlic powder tablets, as well as including garlic in your daily diet, will enable you to enjoy the antibiotic benefits of this seasoning.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is used as a topical solution for dissolving genital warts. The compound is used in part as a treatment for the removal of corns and acts accordingly when applied to genital warts. Salicylic acid is not absorbed into the skin, but quickly kills the cell of the epidermis, or outer skin, without out penetrating the dermis, or true skin.

Gential Warts cannot be spread to different parts of the body that arnt already infected. I had a long talk with my doctor about this. When you were first infected and the virus was deposited this is the areas that will be infected. You cannot spread it to your legs , feet, hands, arms, face ect. You cannot contract it from using towels, shareing cups, forks ect, kissing or holding hands. Just thought id give you a heads up. Good Info...Thanks!

There are other strains of hpv that cause warts on all parts of the body (hands and feet most notably). These strains are easily contracted, especially if you have regular manicures and pedicures so it's really important that you bring your own tools to your manicurist and make sure they disinfect foot baths after each use.

right but genital warts cannot be spread to other parts of the body (like warts on your feet or hands are caused by a completely different hpv.) And touching the warts when washing in the shower etc isn't going to spread them any more "down there"...the virus is in your system and will cause warts to pop up from time to time...you can't spread it to yourself.

im not sure if you can't spread it to yourself, the virus gets in the epithelium through a cut or abrasion right, so if you scratch i warts and scratch another part of your body breaking skin....
im not sure....
but i did want to know how i should monitor these warts. my doctor said not to shave (the abrasion issue) so i used veet. but im wondering if the depilatory is just as bad?
|View More Posts Ignore
also how would Salicylic Acid be used? like the face washes 2% or acne treatments?

i dont mean to be rude but it seems like you are getting your information out of nowhere. please post where you find your info when you post things like this so others can go and read on their own.
secondly - the information about garlic is bogus. I cook with garlic on a daily basis and yet my pap tests are still coming back abnormal all the time. so if garlic really works shouldnt my pap tests be coming back normal after 7 yrs of being abnormal ?

The information I posted was originally posted by another person and I bumped this string up because I do think the information is valuable...I'm sorry you don't see the value in it, but you take what you need from this board and move on.
Also, the other string I posted was from Dr. Orrange who is a consultant for Daily Strength. Again, the information comes from a very reliable and valid source.
I could also say the same thing about you regarding where you get your information from, but I choose to be more gracious to those who are vulnerable.

BTW, the virus that causes genital warts can be spread to other parts of the body (oral and anal) so you would be wise to follow the advice about cross contamination.

Yes, anything that boosts the immune sytem (including garlic) will help reduce the viral load.
There are lots of other foods (mostly fresh fruits and vegetables) that help boost immunity and also fight off the effects that stress have on the immune system.
People seem to forget about stress, but it is very important to try to reduce stress as much as possible when building a strong immune system as well as not smoking!!
By the way, any and all of this information has been obtained from reliable sources, from people who have researched the information and were kind enough to share it here.
I have been on this board for three years now and I have learned so much from everyone who has come before me.
I am very grateful for all the information that has been shared here as well as the success stories (there are so many).
The important thing is to never give up, be patient and always, always question your doctor if something doesn't seem to make sense to you.

Senior Tomas Bruha scored a season-high 12
March 6, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - The final home game for Tulane men's basketball seniors Max Keenan, Kevin Thomas and Tomas Bruha was spoiled by visiting Southern Miss, 68-51, on Thursday night in the regular season finale and the last Conference USA game for the Green Wave.
Bruha saved his best performance of the season for last as the Green Wave (16-15, 8-8 C-USA) center scored a season-high 12 points on six-of-eight shooting and held Southern Miss' (26-5, 13-3 C-USA) leading scorer Daveon Bordingham to zero points.
Junior Jay Hook also added 12 points for Tulane, while freshman Jonathan Stark chipped in 10. Junior Tre Drye pulled down 12 rebounds in the loss as well.
Southern Miss, who claimed a share of the conference regular season title, scored the first five points of the game and held the lead for all but the few moments Tulane was up, 9-7, seven minutes into the game. The Golden Eagles then built as much as a 16-point lead and took a 36-22 advantage into the locker room at halftime.
Tulane was able to claw back midway through the second half and cut the deficit to nine on two occasions, including, 56-47, with 6:39 left after a three-point by Hook, but USM scored the next eight straight over a three minute span to break the game open again. The Golden Eagles' largest lead was 19 with just over two minutes remaining.
"First off congratulations to Southern Miss," Tulane head coach Ed Conroy said. "They are obviously a really talented basketball team and they came in and played very hard and very well. Their energy on the defensive end in the first half was a difference and their ability to knock down threes late was what just broke our back."
USM connected on 11-of-20 three-pointers in the game, including five-of-10 in the second half, including two by Neil Watson during the run late in the game.
Tulane shot 42.9 percent from the floor in the game, but managed just four-of-16 three-pointers. USM finished at 49.1 percent from the floor and won the battle on the boards, 33-24.
Matt Bingaya and Aaron Brown each finished with 14 points for the Golden Eagles, while Watson added 12.
Tulane will be the No. 7 seed and have a first-round bye in next week's Conference USA Championships in El Paso, Texas, while USM finished in a four-way tie for the top spot in the league, but falls to the No. 4 seed due to tiebreakers.
The Green Wave will face the winner No. 10 seed North Texas vs. No. 15 seed Rice on Wednesday at 1 p.m. CT.
- Tonight's game marked the final game as a member of Conference USA for Tulane, one of the charter members of the league.
- Seniors Max Keenan (first start), Kevin Thomas (34th start) and Tomas Bruha (28th start) started tonight's game in their final contest at home.
- Bruha scored a season-high 12 points in tonight's game. He reached double figures for the first time this season and the third time of his career.
- Jonathan Stark scored in double figures in tonight's game with his 10 points, marking the freshman's 24th double figure scoring game of the season.
- Jay Hook scored in double figures in tonight's game with his 12 points. It is his 20th double digit scoring game of the season and the 21st of his career.
- Tre Drye pulled down 12 rebounds in tonight's game, marking the ninth game this season with double figures in rebounds and the 12th game of his career.

Jimmy Heath Still On the Trail at 82
Roanna Forman covers the Boston jazz scene for jazz.com. Her most recent review focused on Brad Mehldau's Harvard performance with mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter. Now she turns her attention to Jimmy Heath, who performed at Scullers this last weekend. T.G.
Relaxed, nonchalant, at times gently clowning with his sidemen, Jimmy Heath thanked his audience for coming out to the early set at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston on Feb 21. "Otherwise," he said, "I'd be in front of the TV somewhere."
Good thing he isn't. Now "retired and on the road," this doyen of the saxophone is as burnished and clean-sounding as ever. Dyed in the wool jazzman that he is, Heath played with six decades of distilled experience, including an authoritative bebop replete with quotes from "Without a Song," "And the Angels Sing," and the hee-haw opening of Ferde Grofé's "On The Trail," from which the band played another section later on. He led the group through his own compositions, standards, and Blue Note classics.
The sound level wasn't quite right for some reason; the bass in particular laid down a very loud bottom throughout the set, and although he could definitely be heard, Jimmy Heath's mike could have been turned up louder. Why the soundman didn't catch that is beyond me. Anyway, Jimmy sounded great. And the higher register of the soprano sax – from which Heath gets a very pure tone -carried better over the other instruments, in a lilting jazz waltz rendition of Billy Strayhorn's "Daydream." Pianist Jeb Patton picked up on Jimmy Heath's lazy, bluesy feel, adding rising and falling lines that sounded like an inchworm trying to crawl off the keyboard.
Patton has been with Jimmy Heath for 12 years, and he's earned the status of "honorary Heath Brother," the band leader said. A solid player who can complement ballads, swing, and funk-latin grooves with equal ease, he generally stayed within the parameters that the tunes called for. There were some nice lines interlocking arpeggios through the changes of "I'm Glad There Is You." He took it out a little on a hard-driving uptempo arrangement of "If Ever I Would Leave You," tossing in the progression from "Giant Steps" at one point. On bass, 26-year-old Corcoran Holt has the chops, kick, and rhythmic and melodic invention to go places, although I thought I heard some intonation problems on his pedal point on the ballad.
Both of the younger players are protégés of Jimmy Heath's. You really sense him graciously passing the baton, not just by putting these players in his group, but giving them musical support on the bandstand. Whether he was fanning Jeb Patton's hottest solos with a lead sheet, or listening thoughtfully, hand cupped in chin, to Corcoran Holt, you felt these were his sons, which, in a musical sense, they are. His real live brother Albert "Tootie Heath" was up there behind him, too. He's not only still pumping it out and swinging hard, his solos provide nuances within the beat, like the riffs that fell from one drum to the other in "On the Trail."
Glancing at his watch toward the end of the set, Jimmy Heath signaled the opening fatback for "Funjii Mama," introducing the danceable Blue Mitchell tune "written by a colleague of mine."
Which brings me to the most important point of the evening. Jazz audiences should see these performers, who are a living link to the music that's developed since the 1940's. Certainly out of respect for their accomplishments – Jimmy Heath's work with Miles Davis, Art Farmer, Milt Jackson, and the Heath Brothers runs like a ribbon through jazz history. They should learn about the music from its source, in action. To paraphrase Milt Jackson, ain't but a few of 'em left.

I loves me some Jimmy Heath! I have a record by trumpeter Dusko Goykovich called "Soul Connection" and it has some of the baddest Heath I know. He's relaxed but tearing it up the whole time.
// Mar 09, 2009 at 05:22 PM
Is there a performance schedule for Jimmy somewhere? I'd love to hear him perform.
// Mar 12, 2009 at 01:51 PM
I was at this show and Tootie was the highlight swinging as hard as he was. His feel blew me away.

The Austin Animal Center is actively working on maintaining its status of being a No-Kill City and continues to work on the No-Kill implementation plan, approved in March of 2010 by the Austin City Council.
Since October 2010, Animal Services has worked on a 34-point plan with the support of community partners such as Austin Pets Alive!, the Austin Humane Society, EmanciPet and Animal Trustees of Austin as well as more than 250 volunteers.
In February 2011, the Center reached and surpassed the 90% live animal outcome rate and reached an unprecedented rate of 92%.
The Animal Center is maintaining its status and continues to increase live animal outcome rates while steadily decreasing animal intakes.
Read about the No-Kill from a 2011 press release, here.
Many components make up the no-kill equation. The following strategies work together to effectively keep Austin a No-Kill City:
Closing night animal drop-off boxes
Adding a full-and part-time veterinarian
Enhancing the foster care program
Providing more opportunities for low-cost/free spay/neuter services
Offering several adoption promotions
Continuing to provide microchips to all animals leaving the shelter
Increasing marketing and publicity efforts for adoption and animal services

Actress Melissa McCarthy is going to be entering the fashion world. With her name now linked to side-splitting comedy, the excitement cannot be contained with her announcement of creating a clothing line.
The cover model of this month's, Redbook, McCarthy explains why she decided to develop a collection:
"When I go shopping, most of the time I'm disappointed. Two Oscars ago, I couldn't find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers—very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people—and they all said no."
McCarthy was a clothing and textiles student at Southern Illinois University. She dropped out to pursue comedy. The interest in pursuing fashion took to the back burner as her acting career took off. In 2011, she had plans to take on a fashion line with her Emmy's gown designer Daniella Pearl, but her acting career continued to explode.
Melissa's on the cover of the current issue of Redbook, out in newsstands today. Let's hope she lets out a bit more about her fashion endeavor!

See "Transcriptional Basis for Hepatic Fibrosis in Cystic Fibrosis–associated Liver Disease" by Pereira et al on page 328.
In the present issue of JPGN, Pereira et al (1) report their efforts to identify genes whose hepatic expression correlates with severity of fibrosis in patients with cystic fibrosis–associated liver disease (CFLD), in the hope that such data may lead to improved clinical management. The incidence of CFLD is highest in the first decade of life, with an estimated 3% to 10% of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) developing severe liver disease characterized by cirrhosis with portal hypertension (2,3). CFLD is responsible for 2% to 3% of CF mortality, making it the third leading and most important nonpulmonary cause of CF-related death (2,3). There is no association between specific CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations and CFLD (2,3). Thus, non-CFTR genetic variation, environmental exposures, or both must contribute to the development of liver disease in these patients. Consistent with this conclusion, the α1-antitrypsin (SERPINA1) Z allele was recently identified as a risk factor for CFLD (4). Of note, polymorphisms in several other genes previously associated with CFLD (5–7) were not confirmed in the more recent study (4). Despite these observations, early, reliable prediction of risk for development of CFLD is not possible. Present practice relies on serial clinical, biochemical, imaging, and histological evaluation (3). With respect to management, ursodeoxycholic acid has been reported to prevent clinical deterioration and improve biochemical parameters at 1 year in patients with CFLD; however, the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on the likelihood of death or liver transplantation are unknown (8). Together, these considerations emphasize that existing diagnostic and therapeutic options to identify and prevent or reverse CFLD are inadequate. Based on this, CFLD was the focus of a recent National Institutes of Health–sponsored clinical research workshop (9).
Pereira et al conducted cDNA array analysis of gene expression on liver tissue from 14 pediatric patients with CFLD with various stages of hepatic fibrosis, and compared the results with analyses of normal and non-CF cholestatic patients. Because of limited tissue, samples were pooled from patients by fibrosis category. The results showed differential expression of numerous genes associated with hepatic fibrogenesis. To validate these findings, they performed semiquantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction on another 18 patients and immunohistochemical analysis of protein expression on some for a subset of the genes identified by the array. The results showed downregulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP) hepatic mRNA expression in patients with CFLD.
These data begin to define patterns of hepatic gene expression associated with CFLD. Nevertheless, much more work will be required before such findings can be translated into improved strategies for identification or intervention in CFLD. The experiences with polymorphism analyses noted above obligate efforts to validate the findings reported here in individual patients with CFLD from an independent cohort. Furthermore, the possibility of a causal relation between the identified alterations in gene expression and CFLD requires experimental investigation. For example, the identified differences in gene expression may be markers of or even an adaptive response to CFLD. If so, efforts to target the molecular pathways implicated by the gene expression data in patients at risk for CFLD may be ineffective or, even worse, harmful. Still, if the reported changes in gene expression are reliable markers of CFLD, their identification may lead to improved strategies for predicting development or progression of CFLD, particularly if future studies show the ability to detect the corresponding protein products in blood. Such a tool would be invaluable to identify at-risk patients for future clinical intervention trials.

text: PurposeThe main difference between courting and dating is courting is purposeful not playful. You do not enter a courtship with a person until you are marriage-minded. The purpose of the relationship is to see if God is leading you to marriage. Courting is intentional. Courting is purposeful, not playful…it is intentional. Jacob pursued Rachel's father Laban because his intention was to marry her. When David heard about Nabal's death, he pursued Abigail with the purpose of marrying her (1 Samuel 25). The Bible says in 1 Samuel 25:39 that David wooed her so she would become his wife. Preparation Courtship is preceded by a season of preparation. A person does not enter a courtship haphazardly. If you're thinking about marriage, you should be spiritually, emotionally, and financially ready. Courtship is preceded by a season of preparation. Before Boaz married Ruth, he had to take care of a few things (Ruth 4). He was ready for a wife after he settled his affairs. Before the servant Hegai could present Esther to the king, she had to go through the necessary preparations (Esther 2:12). We, too, should make sure we're ready for the responsibility of marriage. Public Courting is done publically, whereas dating is generally done in private. A public courtship means other people are involved by holding the couple accountable for their behavior. Traditionally, the parents were involved in the courtship. Abraham sent his servant to find Isaac a wife (Genesis 24). Jacob had to deal with Laban for Rachel's hand in marriage (Genesis 29:18-30). Naomi played an integral role in bringing Ruth and Boaz together (Ruth 3:1-5). However, if you're over 30 and your parents can't be involved or you don't want them involved, your church community or small group can serve as a matchmaker and accountability partner. Courting is done publically, whereas dating is generally done in private. The new dating show It Takes a Church is a fun example of how your church community can support you in finding a spouse. Oftentimes, it is easier for someone on the outside to see which character traits and personalities work best for you. You will also have people to cosign on the character of the other person. Purity In a courtship, the couple should set boundaries to maintain purity. 1 Corinthians 7:1 says that it is not good for a man to touch a woman. Paul admonishes men to have their own wife. Unlike dating, the goal of courtship is not to "test drive" the other person sexually to determine compatibility. The goal of courtship is not to "test drive" the other person sexually to determine compatibility. The couple should discuss physical boundaries. Jill Duggar and her fiancé agreed not to hold hands or kiss. They also agreed never to be alone privately, and they gave each other side hugs to prevent temptation. Your boundaries may be different. You may agree to kissing and holding hands. However, the end goal should be purity. You do not want to violate the other person by overstepping physical boundaries. In the Bible, a man had to pay a "bride price" for a woman's hand in marriage. If he had sex with a woman, he had to pay a dowry and marry her (Exodus 22:16-17). A man had to pay a price because it spoke to the worth and value of the woman. You, too, are valuable and worthy of respect. Do not devalue yourself or grieve the Holy Spirit by engaging in sex without commitment in marriage (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Prayerful A courtship should be entered into with much prayer. The couple should also be prayerful as they seek God's purpose for their relationship. All courtships do not end in marriage. Some couples discover that they are not compatible for marriage, and that is okay. A courtship should be entered into with much prayer. Prayer also invites God into the relationship, which distinguishes courtship from dating. God needs to be at the center of the relationship. When you put God first, you'll be well on your way to finding "the one."

The Men Behind Lounge County on Why We All Love Waffle Weave
Girls, remember how attached we were to our velour Juicy sweatpants? We wore them everywhere, often with a color coordinating velour jacket. The grocery store, Starbucks, Blockbuster… Juicy tracksuit. They were just so darn comfortable. But I believe in gender equality, and I believe that men should have something just as comfy as our velour tracksuits, except maybe a little easier on the eyes. Okay, a lot easier on the eyes.
Enter Lounge County, the new loungewear brand offering menfolk the luxury of comfy threads that don't sacrifice style. Imagine a waffle weave so wonderfully tailored, you wouldn't be alarmed (or embarrassed) to see a gentleman caller showing up to take you to dinner and a movie in them. But a man in sweats, off the couch?! It's not the easiest concept to grasp. So I caught up with the men behind the comfy collection, Texas natives Zach Redington and Andy Archer, to learn more about their new venture, the future of Lounge County, and whether or not the logo is indeed an octopus. (Spoiler alert: It is not. But close!)Read More

"UConn" Storrs by turbinelover
Storrs Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 4 photos
It is kind of amazing that they will let me write a travel page on Storrs, CT. Most events in this town are on campus at places like Jorgensen Auditorium or Gampel Pavilion. There are music artists, plays and other shows at Jorgensen. The famous UConn Basketball teams play at Gampel. For both of these entertainment options, student tickets are cheapest.
"The University of Connecticut has been kept off the 2002 top 10 party schools because they are professionals among amateurs."
-rendition of a rumored Playboy quote
Yes, at UConn we get crunked, blasted, hammered, twisted, sloppy and totally gone. Weekends have no say in when the party is: one apartment complex in Willington even advertises their Wednesday night blowouts.
Spring Weekend is by far the most ridiculous drinking celebration. Thousands of college students from all over the country flock to UConn on this occasion to wreak havoc. It is a lot of fun, as long as you are comfortably drunk or stoned.

"I think that you have to give credit where credit is due and I think that Courtney Blades threw one hell of a ball game. We are a good hitting team but tonight I think that she had our number. We made some uncharacteristic mistakes in the first inning. We aren't going to sit around and cry about it, we are going to try and regroup. I told the girls that we need to put this behind us. I am not going to sit around and overanalyze this game."
"They had a great game. Courtney (Blades) pitched a great game and she kept us off balance. They also got some great hits when they needed them. Their hitter got a nice line drive and they just clutched up, but we are far from over. Usually a good hit will come off of a mistake made by the pitcher, but Courtney didn't make many mistakes tonight."
On her team's inability to score:
"Of course it is a little frustrating, but there have been games this season where we have done this. I know that it is just a matter of time before we come back. In the Cal game this season we didn't score until the sixth inning. I always have faith that my team is going to come back and do it, because this team is good."
"That was an awesome game, a top-notch Division I softball game. I can't say enough about the gutsy performance of Courtney Blades. She was amazing with her pitches and Erin Johnson stepping up and getting a double. Oklahoma is an awesome team and we've seen them before. It should be a great game."
On Blades' records:
She just keeps getting better and better. I am seeing a lot of confidence and poise. I'm just very, very proud of her. It is a total testament to Courtney's hard work and dedication and her desire to get it done. She is an awesome pitcher and she deserves what she is getting."
On her performance:
I think I threw real well with my change-up and kept them off balance. We played them earlier in the year and I didn't have it at that point. I think it was a key pitch tonight and I think our defense did a great job behind me."
On whether she realized she was throwing a perfect game:
"It is hard not to realize when there is a huge score board out there telling you that you haven't given up any hits. It was going through my mind the whole time. It is not really a big deal, though. You just go out there and make your pitches break and hope they don't get a hold of one."
On setting records:
The perfect game didn't set in until Channika (Gant) threw the girl out at first. The win record wasn't even in my mind until someone told me after the game I broke another record. It is not really a big deal. I am just focusing on what I want to do."

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
For Russian socialite-turned-opposition 'It-girl' Ksenia Sobchak, good things — or in this case, a big pile of money – come to those who wait.
Authorities say they have decided to return nearly $2 million in cash seized from a safe in Ms. Sobchak's apartment in June during a series of raids on key opposition figures' homes. The raids stemmed from an investigation into their roles in an earlier protest that ended with clashes between marchers and police.
While Ms. Sobchak was never charged, investigators had refused to return the money for months, saying they needed to determine where the cash — which had been found stuffed in a large number of envelopes — had come from and if taxes had ever been paid on it.
In a statement, the Federal Investigative Committee said they had found no evidence of tax evasion and that the money was indeed hers. They said her lawyers had been contacted and that the money — €1,108,420 euros, $522, 392 and 485,325 rubles — would be returned via wire transfer.
"We are fully satisfied," Ms. Sobchak's attorney, Henry Reznik told Interfax.
Ms. Sobchak expressed surprise that she would actually see the money again.
"I don't know if it is true whether the money will be returned to me, but tonight I feel like a million dollars!" she wrote on Twitter.
Often called Russia's Paris Hilton, Ms. Sobchak has started a second act in life as a prominent voice of Russia's opposition movement. Many had assumed her family's close ties to President Vladmir Putin — her father had been Mr. Putin's mentor — would keep her free from trouble, but the raid suggested otherwise. She said after the raid that she thought Mr. Putin considered her a traitor.
Pictures of the seized money fanned out on a table appeared almost immediately on tabloid news sites after the raids, and became a prominent part of state-television news coverage. Ms. Sobchak had insisted the money was legitimate income from her numerous businesses and jobs on television. At the time of the raid, she said she kept the money at home because she doesn't trust banks.
The breakdown of the seized cash offered in the investigators' statement was slightly different than that initially announced in June, specifically the dollar amount, which was originally listed as $480,000. The discrepancy could not immediately be explained.

1 journaler for this copy...
What I like about this series is that it seems fairly realistic. People get to work late and miss important bits of information, the second pages of faxes get missed when sent. You really feel the sense of frustration with the police when it appears that the case is going nowhere. I look forward to reading more of the series.

You will be interested to know that we have or have had students from nearly every religious background go through the program.

Forecast discussion: After reviewing the weather for the day, the forecast for Boston was pretty accurate. Snow started around 6 a.m. before snow began to fall at one to one and a half inches per hour. As we moved through the late morning, Plymouth County began to see a mixing with sleet and then rain for the immediate Cape and Islands. As we moved into the start of the evening commute, colder air began to move back into eastern Massachusetts, changing the precipitation back to snow showers. Looking at the current radar, Boston will see scattered snow showers for another hour. Then, it will dissipate to flurries and isolated snow showers. Unfortunately for the Cape and Islands, they will see scattered ocean effect snow showers for the rest of the overnight. By midnight, the Winter Storm Warning still in effect for Boston will be cancelled by midnight. To see snow totals for the Boston area, there is a neat slideshow made by WCVB-TV. To go to the link, click here.
Now that the snow is out to sea, we will be able to enjoy a few quiet days of weather. A high pressure system located along the eastern Rockies will bring drier air into Southern New England. We will be seeing sunshine from Thursday into Saturday. However, please remain careful if you have to drive during the Thursday morning commute. Due to the freezing temperatures tonight, any slush or puddles of water will likely refreeze. This will cause for some ice or black ice on the roads and highways. So, give yourself a little extra time to make it to your destination.
So, the first half of the weekend will be quiet, with dry weather and increasing clouds by Saturday night. But, what happens on Sunday still remains to be seen. Last night, the American model was predicting a strong low to meander off of Cape Cod, and bring gusty winds and some large snowfall totals. Well, the model decided to do a flip-flop, as Wednesday morning's model run is totally different.
The model now had a much weaker low pressure system off the coast, with light snow falling early Sunday morning, but ending by Sunday night. The afternoon model run now tells a different story as well. The low will remain offshore, but we will have more precipitation. We will see steady winds, with light to moderate snow starting Sunday afternoon, but continuing into Monday afternoon. The European model sees a weaker low giving us snowfall for the same amount of time. Finally, the United Kingdom model has the low so far out to sea that we would see absolutely nothing from this system, with a high pressure ridge controlling our weather.
For now, I believe the American and European model are handling the end of the weekend better than the other model. But, it seems the models have been overdoing the lows late in the forecast period then weakening them down in the three to five days out timeline. As we move closer to the actual time, the models begin to re-strengthen the low, making meteorologists have to up the snow totals late. For now, I will meet the models somewhere in the middle. Light snow begins Sunday afternoon, with moderate snow possible during the evening hours into early Monday morning. Lighter snow develops by the late morning, before ending in the early afternoon. The computer models all agree we will see colder air returning as a high pressure system from Canada controls our weather. Overnight lows fall back into the upper single digits Monday and Tuesday night.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Cloudy with scattered light snow showers continuing into midnight. A coating to another inch is possible. Skies will begin to clear after 3 a.m. We will see a low of 18.
Thursday: Mostly sunny with a high of 27. Winds will come from the northwest at 6-9 mph.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy and colder with a low of 14. Winds will come from the west at 7-10 mph.
Friday: Mostly sunny with a high of 28.
Friday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 13.
Saturday: Mostly sunny with a high of 29.
Saturday night: Increasing clouds with a low of 18.
Extended Forecast:
Sunday: Overcast skies with light snow falling by 2 p.m. Highs 30-33, lows 18-21.
Monday: Light snow possible through the late morning, before ending in the early afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies expected for the rest of the evening. Highs 26-29, lows 9-12.
Tuesday: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 22-25, lows 7-10.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs 26-29, lows 12-15.

Anyone else make your own Halloween costumes? We started a new tradition last year to make our own costumes. I always had homemade costumes as a kid and it was so cool. then again, my mom could sew.
Last year DS was a robot and DD was a ladybug. I was so proud when DS was one of 2 kids in his whole school to have an orginal homemade costume of his own design!
This year we are thinking super heros. they have capes with their initial on it and often play "Super D" and "Super B"

Have you ever wanted to just scream, "SHUT UP!!!!"
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
There are days I cannot handle the sound of other people's conversations!! I am sitting here at work tonight and two of my co-workers were here and carrying on a conversation in the same area I am working in. The volume was a little loud, and it was just between the two of them, but it made me feel like screaming. I feel this way when I work the evening shifts, and I know I will be subjected to this one more time tonight at shift change. Having the television on when I am at work or at home doesn't bother me. Also the police radio is talking in the background and that is getting on my nerves, too. One of the neighboring states feels the need to read an announcement every hour. These messages are provided to all law enforcement nationwide. We all know about them, so I don't know why they have to read them.
Does this irritate me because I am not a conversationalist? I don't always have a lot to say, partly because I don't know what to say unless I am talking about work to my co-workers. The people I am around seem like they barely breathe when they talk. There is never a lull in the conversation so if I did have anything to add, I would be out of luck anyway.
There are times their voices feel like fingernails on a chalkboard in my ears. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Oh yes. I am right there with you. My office is located in a house (real estate office) and my office is right by the kitchen. So everyone walks to and from the kitchen through my office. And most of the time, they stop in my office to talk to me or others. Drives me nuts. The phone will ring and the person on other end will ask me if I'm having a party in my office. My idea of a party at work would be having the entire office to myself! So no, you are definitely not alone in this. Sometimes I think it is because of wanting to isolate myself, but other times it's just because co-workers can be freaking annoying!

*Hugs* sounds like things have really been getting you down lately. Feeling chronicly irrated at others intruding on your solitude. It's hard when you feel that around you the world seems inane. Be easy on yourself. What are your options? How could you reframe your thoughts or do you want to? Just a thought, might this be at play?
Sending you light and good energy.

"The Walking Dead" creator, Robert Kirkman, spoke at Image Expo in San Francisco and went off a little on Marvel Comics. According to sciencefiction.com on Jan. 15, Kirkman claimed that he felt Marvel Comics was destroying the comic book industry.
While that seems harsh, Kirkman said that it came from him as a fan who loves Marvel Comics.
According to "The Walking Dead" creator, there are a lot of talented and good people in the company, but his problems are with upper management, who he calls short-sighted. He said this will have a negative effect on the comic book industry and the fanbase Marvel is catering to won't be around for 100 years.
Kirkman, who is one of the creative-owners of Image Comics, a company started by disgruntled writers and artists in 1992 to be a place where the people who created the comics could retain the rights to them. While it seemed a long-shot for success at the time, titles like "Spawn," "Witchblade" and "The Walking Dead" helped it become a huge success.
Kirkman used to write for Marvel Comics, penning stories for "Ultimate X-Men," "Marvel Zombies" and "Irredeemable Ant-Man," so he has insider knowledge of how the company works. He did say that he just wishes Marvel Comics was doing a better job.
The fourth season of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" returns to television in February on AMC.

I've watched the news from Ferguson, Missouri with a kind of sickening disappointment. I guess living here in our little patch of paradise, I had believed that we were beyond that now; that things were better. But here we are, with what appears to be an unjustified shooting (six shots, two to the head) of a black teenager by a white cop. Brown may have stolen some cigars from a convenience store, but the cop involved in the shooting didn't know that, according to the local police chief. It looks like Brown was stopped for jaywalking. The cop's version of the story has not been made public, which is, of course, a big part of the problem. There may be facts that tip the balance. But not six fatal shots' worth.
The community has justifiably erupted in protests. I'm frankly impressed by the restraint most have shown. The initial police response was about as un-enlightened as it could get. The body of Mike Brown laid in the street in a pool of blood for several hours, uncovered, while they did the initial investigation. SWAT teams equipped with the latest military hardware from Iraq responded to the demonstration of public outrage in the streets. It's hard to imagine how the initial response could have been worse. The local elected officials have vanished, and the governor seemed annoyed that this had been dumped in his lap.
The complaints are real. In a town that is two-thirds black, the police department is 90 percent white. The town council has only one black member.
Part of what makes the mess in Ferguson so disappointing to me is that a lot of it seems self-imposed. The rate of participation in local elections by black residents is insignificant. Only five or six percent of them vote. There are no silver bullets, but if you live in Ferguson are and upset that the predominantly black community has an overwhelmingly white city government and police department, you can change that. Show up and vote. Instead of singing "We Shall Overcome" in the streets, they need to be singing "We Shall Show up in November and Vote Your Bigoted Asses Out of Office." And then do it.
That won't bring Michael Brown back, or offer much comfort to his parents. But showing up at the polls, a quiet riot in the voting booth, would make a huge difference.
Speaking of community involvement, the Park City Council is trying to find ways to get more citizen involvement in local affairs. Nobody goes to budget hearings, few people show up at planning commission meetings. While the council members all get an earful at the grocery store or when trapped on a chairlift, there really isn't a lot of direct participation in local government.
Partly that's because there are other things to do. Thirty years ago, when I worked at City Hall, Council meetings were a spectator sport. People came just to watch us floundering away in the tsunami of difficult issues, all hitting at once, with no time for careful analysis. It worked on a sitcom schedule, with the impossible situation presented, the conflict exposed, and the plot nicely resolved all within a half hour before adjourning to the Alamo.
If the Council really wants to get people engaged in local decisions again, I'd suggest they go back to that kind of pacing. The current framework makes it impossible for an average citizen to follow an issue. Decisions take forever. The Sweeney project is now 30 years in the "pending" file. The Bonanza Park planning just gets more baroque as time goes by, with no real decisions being made. The Kimball Art Center continues to present designs that are obnoxious to the character of the historic district, but we're three years into that one without anybody saying "no."
If you want public engagement in the process, the process has to have an end. Make a decision. Ordinary citizens have lives, and may want to follow an issue, but really can't devote 30 years to following the Sweeney project. I'm certain that whatever happens with Bonanza Park, the resulting traffic and blocked views won't improve the value of a condo I have in the neighborhood. Years from now, when a decision is made, I probably won't like it. But spending the time to attend 30 or 40 meetings, well, it's just too much.
But at least we don't have tanks rolling down Main Street, tear gassing residents singing "We Shall Have Form-Based Zoning in Bonanza Park." Whatever that means.

I run a web server just on my local network on a Windows XP machine using IIS. The main app I created keeps track of all my bookmarks so that no matter which computer I'm using in my home, I have super easy access to all my bookmarks via a well organized web site managed through a database.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a separate machine that I'm rebuilding. Currently, I'm able to access files on the web server from ubuntu for file sharing purposes but Firefox redirects me to a random site when I try to access the website like I normally do in Windows. The url is similar to:
