The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society is giving recognition to the dedication of zookeepers and other members of its Wildlife Care & Conservation Team, including animal trainers, educators, veterinary staff, curators, interns and volunteers during National Zoo Keeper Week through July 26, 2014. Staff members are giving fans a peek into their daily routines through social media posts using the hashtag #pbzookeeperweek.
"We are proud to honor our Wildlife Care & Conservation Team during this special week," said Jan Steele, general curator for the Zoo. "Their dedication to the animals in our care shows in every action they take."
"By posting photos and staff stories to social media, we can show our followers what it is like to be a zookeeper," Steele continued. "Many guests may not realize how educated and hardworking our staff members are, so this can help them to understand what it takes to do these jobs."
Created by The American Association of Zookeepers, Inc., National Zoo Keeper Week is celebrated each year beginning on the third Sunday in July. During the week, zoos nationwide honor animal care professionals and the work they do in animal care, conservation, and education. There are approximately 6,000 animal care professionals in the United States.
In addition to the social media posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the Zoo is continuing to offer animal talks and engaging wildlife presentations daily.
"The American Association of Zookeepers is excited to announce National Zoo Keeper Week," said Shane Good, president of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, Inc. "This national celebration is in recognition of zoo keepers, aquarists, and the animal care professionals in our nation's zoological parks and aquariums. Zookeepers serve as animal care experts, frontline educators, and conservationists. We are proud to have zookeepers recognized for the important work they do on behalf of wildlife and conservation."
To help increase public awareness about the need to preserve our precious habitats and the animals which inhabit them and to recognize the roles that zookeepers play in animal conservation and education, the American Association of Zoo Keepers invites zoos, aquariums, and their guests to participate in National Zoo Keeper Week.
About the American Association of Zoo Keepers
The American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) is a non-profit volunteer organization made up of professional zookeepers and other interested persons dedicated to professional animal care and conservation.

The EPC SP12 Ferrari dealership leaves London
|Entertainment - Motorsport
|Monday, 26 March 2012 04:02
A few days ago, we reported that a rare Ferrari 458 Italy was being showcased in a brand dealer in London. While it did not exist, or exist, details about our model, from the outset specialized media as Carscoop and Carbuzz speculated that it was one of the Ferraris of British guitarist Eric Clapton.
The name adopted by the model, as could be seen in its register, SP12 was the EPC, which would mean, according to speculation, Special Program, referring to the Special Project Program of Ferrari, the division responsible for carrying out special tasks orders and multi-millionaires selected customers, which also prevents a Ferrari is modified in a way that embarrasses the brand. The number 12 would refer to the 12-cylinder engine, which would replace the 4.5-liter V8 458 Italia riding the original. Finally, EPC would refer to the initials of the name of the musician, Eric Patrick Clapton.
Well, in this day we bring you the video in the car, tazado 3 million pounds (something like EUR 3,610,000) out of the dealer to be mounted on the truck that will take you to your new home. According to experts, the engine would remain the original 458 Italy and number 12 would be a tribute to the great blocks developed by Ferrari.
The video was uploaded to Youtube by user Shmee150, adding the following description: "This is the new Ferrari SP12, a creation of Special Project for Eric Clapton built at a cost of £ 3 million over a period of 2 years. The car is based on the structure and the motor 458 Italy, but shows several modifications of designs which make it similar to the old Ferrari, including 512 Boxer and the Enzo. The car was originally planned to be a 12-cylinder version, but clearly this was a tall order and, as it seems, keeps the V8 and the controls of a normal car. "

Late Night Dining at M
After a long night out on a Friday or Saturday you've probably worked up quite an appetite. Maybe it was all the wine you sampled at Hostile Grape (there's a variety of over 150) or perhaps you partied a little too hard at our nighttime concert and pool party, M Pool Live. So, before heading back up to your luxe M accommodations satisfy your late night cravings and stop in to Hash House A Go Go.
Not only are they open late on Fridays and Saturdays (till 2am) they also offer a Late Night Dining deal that's too good to pass up! If you dine at Hash House between 10pm-2am you receive buy-one-get-one entr?es! Their entr?es are already enormous (just look at the photos) so you might want to bring a few extra friends along to help you chow down.
Their menu is full of breakfast, lunch and dinner farm food favorites with a twist. They're most famous for their Chicken and Waffles, it's Hash House's take on an Indiana Classic. Sage Fried Chicken and Bacon Waffles Crowned with Fried Leeks and a Maple Reduction. But maybe something a little healthier sounds more appealing. Try Hash House's Blackberry Granola Pancake. You can wash any of their menu items down with a warm S'mores Moca (like a s'mores but in a cup!)
On July 21, the restaurant will be teaming up with Mix 94.1 for their Tropical Thursday Party. The party will go from 5-9pm and will include a free signature tropical drink and specialty priced menu items. It's the perfect opportunity to get a little taste of Hash House if you haven't tried it already. And don't take our word on it, this year the restaurant won the "Best Breakfast" award from the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The history of terrorism stretches back nearly two thousand years and terrorism, both in the forms of terrorist groups and terror regimes, is an inherent part of the modern world: from Anarchist groups to al-Qaida; from Hitlers Germany and SS to al-Bashirs Sudan and Janjaweed militias. It is a subject of high current interest that is rarely out of the news (not least as the legacy of 9/11) and it is also of enduring interest.
As a new volume in the Seminar Studies series, Terrorism has been brought up-to-date and now looks at both contemporary terrorism and its historical antecedents, providing a much needed introduction to the subject.

8:00 a.m. start time
Ms. Nielson - present
Mr. Lipari - (AE)
Mr. Visco -
Mr. Lewis, Chair - present
Mr. Karkowsky - present
Planning Board Planner: Joseph
Burgis PP, AICP - Burgis Associates - present
Township Staff: Jane Grogaard, Administrative Clerk
Meeting convened at 8:15.
Chairman Lewis commended Mayor Sandham and Committeewoman
Neilson for their support of the Planning Board's recommendation at last
night's Township Committee meeting regarding the residential development fee
ordinance despite the fact that the ordinance was not introduced.
Schedule of Permitted Uses
OB2A Zone……issue of retail was discussed; not included as specifically
evaluated during master plan process, and this stretch of road is not conducive
to uncontrolled turn movements associated with retail.
Mr. Lewis recommended animal hospitals and vet offices not
be allowed in the TC Core, but are better suited in the TC2 zone, where at
least one exists already. Mr. Visco
R-27E Zone Discussion:
Mr. Burgis indicated that along Changebridge Road northbound across from
the Industrial Zone is the proposed R-27E zone and some OB
zoning. R-27E permits single family and
townhouse development as well as daycare, eldercare, and offices. The conditional uses allowed would be banks,
health and fitness centers, retail and animal hospitals. Discussion ensued on if personal services
should be allowed in the retail section.
Consensus: Personal
services allowed in the area limited by the conditions of conditional use.
Mr. Burgis to clarify definition of playhouse to children's
playhouse. Children's playhouses are to
be permitted in the AH & PURD zones.
Mr. Burgis to look into restricting plumbing, etc in playhouses.
Mr. Burgis indicated that parking garages are different from
a building with parking under the building.
Parking garages are not permitted in the TC1 zone.
Schedule of Permitted Uses was finalized.
Schedule D - Zoning Requirements
Mr. Burgis indicated that the CWR zone permits 45%
impervious coverage and other zones permit less. Need to clarify that if the underlying zone
permits less that the lesser percentage of impervious coverage applies.
Consensus: members
Mr. Burgis indicated that the B1 zone permits 55% of
impervious coverage currently. This is a
small lot zone. 75% would be reasonable
and would be consistent with the sketches in the Master Plan.
Consensus: members
agree to 75% impervious coverage for B-1 zone
OB-4 & OB-5 Zone – The coverage and FAR numbers have
been increased already. The standards
seem acceptable so 65% impervious coverage for these zones is reasonable.
Mr. Burgis indicated that he needed to discuss the cluster
footnote with Ms. Hunscher.
Discussion ensued on restricting height in the R-15 zone to
30' as opposed to 35'. 2 stories can be
accomplished with a height of 30'. 35'
would be out of character with the neighborhood.
Consensus: members
agreed to 30' height limitation for R15 Zone.
Schedule D – Zoning Requirements was finalized.
Streetscape Design Standards
Mr. Burgis to speak to Omland on numbers to be inserted in
this section.
Discussion on the Old Bloomfield Ave Corridor enhanced streetscape
theme. Mr. Burgis is to review that
section of the Route 46 Corridor Plan and will make sure it is added to the
streetscape standards of the ordinance. Discussions with the committee to be
held prior to any changes being made.
Streetscape to be discussed at a later date.
Lake Recreation District
The committee discussed enforcement and the difficulties in
regulating the number of events. The issues of membership classifications and
numbers of events is beyond the scope of the zoning ordinance.
Wireless communication towers were added to prohibited uses.
Need to stipulate that multiple structures are permitted.
The front setback is limited to 100' for principal
buildings. The current structures in the
setback would be considered pre-existing non-conforming setbacks. The guard house is to be allowed in the front
The final numbers regulating building coverage and
impervious coverage are still being calculated.
Mr. Burgis is to add what improvements trigger a site plan
application before the board in this zone.
Mr. Burgis is to identify where the lighting already exists on
site. The patio behind the clubhouse
will have restrictions and no further expansion. The parking requirements are to be
capped. The ball fields can never be
paved for parking.
Mr. Burgis reviewed the noise standards for the committee. Outdoor entertainment is to be changed to be
no later than 9pm instead of 10pm. The ordinance envisions a maximum of three
(3) special event permits annually wherein noise limits can be extended to
midnight; this provision in no way usurps the current noise volume thresholds.
Exterior lighting was discussed and if valet parking or
employee parking is to be in the grove, bollard lighting would be required not
12' lighting.
Mr. Lewis stated that 1 modest monument sign was sufficient
for the property. No directional
signs. Ms. Nielson indicated that back
lit signs should be prohibited. There is
no reason to have more than 5 sq.ft. of signage for this property since it is
located in a residential area.
Chairman Lewis indicated the plan continues to be to present
the draft zoning ordinance in its entirety to the full Planning Board at the
September 22nd meeting, and he would like the Board members to have
at least a week prior to review the lengthy document. A discussion followed
about the manner in which to present it and any additional materials to be sent
to Board members for ease in understanding.
Mr. Burgis to have the printed, revised draft ordinance to
the Land Use Office no later than August 31, 2011 and will email out a redlined
version of the full current draft including all changes to current ordinance to
the planning board members with a summary of changes. The Land Use Office will advise the board
members when the hard copies are ready to be picked up.
The Land Use Office is to schedule the next Master Plan
Subcommittee meetings on September 7, 2011 & September 14, 2011 at 8am.
There being no
further business to discuss the meeting was unanimously adjourned at 10:00 a.m.

Department of Transportation records show
that for the past decade, 10 percent of fatal accidents in Kansas
involved people without licenses.
Republican state Sen. Les Donovan of Wichita says it's an
outrage when someone dies in a crash involving a driver who
shouldn't be behind the wheel.
But The Wichita Eagle reports that Donovan acknowledges there
are no easy answers to fixing the problem, especially with the
state's budget problems.
Former legislator Phil Journey is now a Sedgwick County District
Court judge. He says the immediate reaction would be to impound
more vehicles, raise fines and put people in jail.
But he and Donovan agree those aren't workable solutions and
also can be unfair.

Basic Guidelines for Child Safety Seat Usage
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants remain rear-facing until the upper weight limit of a convertible seat (usually 30-35 pounds) as long as they are within the height requirements of the seat. At a minimum, Infants should remain rear-facing in the back seat until at least 1 yr. old AND at least 20 lbs.
Children may ride forward facing once they are over 20 lbs. and 1 year of age in a seat with an internal 5-point harness. They should ride in a seat with an internal harness until they reach the weight limit of the harness (usually 40-65 pounds) as long as they are still within the height limit of the seat.
Once the child weighs at least 40 lbs., the child should ride in a booster seat in the back seat until they are at least 4'9" tall. Booster seats MUST be used with a lap and shoulder belt. NEVER a lap only belt.
Before being allowed to use only the vehicle lap & shoulder seat belt, the child should be able to sit up with knees bent at the edge of the vehicle seat, the seat belt shoulder strap should fit comfortably across the chest (not across the neck), and the seat belt lap strap should fit low and tight across the upper thighs.

I find myself drinking a lot of wines from Santa Barbara these days, partially because they're new to me, and also partially because they are affordable. But perhaps most of all, it seems that many of these winemakers are small, family operations that are guided by their own principles and vision for winemaking and are not simply making what has come to be stereotypical California wine.
Jaffurs Wine Cellars is a classic example of these principles at work. Owner/Winemaker Craig Jaffurs started his operation in 1994 with a singular purpose, to take what he saw as a particular microclimate (Santa Barbara and surrounding areas) and make the wines best suited to that climate, which were, in his opinion, wines in the classic Rhone style.
Craig is one of those guys that seems to have a substantial amount of natural talent in the winemaking department. A few years as a cellar rat and a couple of classes on oenology and right out of the gate, his first vintages received 90 plus points from the critics. All the more surprising given that Craig bought his grapes on the market.
Craig still buys grapes rather than grow them himself, but now its through contracts with several of Santa Barbara's best vineyards: Thompson (Syrah, Petit Sirah), Bien Nacido (Viognier, Syrah), Stolpman Family (Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and Roussanne) and The Melville Vineyard (Viognier and Syrah).
This recently released 2003 Viognier surprised me right off the bat by having the most sediment I've seen in a white wine, pretty much ever. I could care less about it, but I predict that this will make it a tough sell for a lot of consumers, which is a shame given that it is a solid wine. The sediment is there, of course, because Craig hasn't filtered and fined his wine to death, leaving it instead to express its full personality without the intervention of chemicals and harsh treatments. The wine completed fermentation in the barrel on its lees (all the seeds and skins and other gunk left over from winemaking) and was aged in neutral French oak barrels (the French way). The result is a wine that expresses itself without a jacket of oak that normally accompanies such wines in California. 460 cases produced.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is the color of light straw in the glass, with a thick white sediment that flakes off the bottom of the bottle. The nose has glorious citrus aromas of kumquat and lime. In the mouth it has a little spritz, again a sign of non-interventionalist winemaking, and strong almost sweet flavors of orange blossoms, golden delicious apples and peaches. The aromas are so powerful and sweet that the wine tastes like it might have residual sugar, but it does not. The finish is excellent and clean with a little minerality to it that tempers the heady sweet floral and fruit flavors.
Food Pairing:
This wine will go best with light fare especially seafood appetizers. The winemaker recommends crab cakes in particular.
Overall Score: 8.5/9
How Much?: $20

Dear Evette,
I have removed Temperance Croom and her husband Bright Thompson from the Cox-Thompson Cemetery. They are still in Find A Grave with the burial listed as unknown. A very demanding Michael Cox wanted me to put them in another cemetery with nothing but his hear say. I will continue to research this mystery until I find an answer. Please let me know if you can shed any light on this subject. With kindest regards, Lynn Samuelson #47180464

My Father, Donald W Channell (born 1912, died 1977) Find A Grave page is missing his children's information and only you are able to make these changes.
His three children (wife Beatrice Clem) are as follows:
Kay Carol Channell Gladman b. Feb 12 1938
Dona Jane Channell Tullis b. Apr 21 1940
Susan Ann Channell Maurice b. Sept 19 1944
I'd appreciate your time in adding this information to this site.
If you don't mind, I'm also curious how you came about this information and why you chose to post the information about my father?
Thanks much,

C.L. Reynolds & Mary A. K. Reynolds Burgduff
Charles and Mary Amanda (my maternal Great Grandparents) were married in 1880 and had a daughter Grace born October 22, 1881 she passed in 1965 and is buried at Eulalia Cemetery in Coudersport, PA. She married Frank Baker of Coudersport and adopted my mother Jane Louise Baker Holt in 1923 shortly after her March 1 birth. There is little data in the family but the Find-a-grave record is accurate regarding Charles and Mary Amanda having a son Maynard C. Reynolds in 1886 and then by 1897 they were both having other children by other spouses. My Mother used to refer to both Maynard and Earnest as uncle.

Sniff. Even if you're not a parent, you've got to admit that this I Am Your Parent, You Are My Child Vinyl Wall Art ($12) by Whispered Reflections makes you a little sentimental. Maybe you should call your mom tonight. Tell her you were just thinking of her and wanted to see how she was doing. Or make plans with dad to give golf a try one more time this weekend. Or hug your munchkin a little extra tightly before bed tonight.

Flying into Hong Kong was once an aerial adventure as gigantic passenger planes made alarmingly steep descents over the harbor and then low over crowded high rises to runway 13.

It was formally opened on June 12 as the Commissioner for Tourism, Mr Philip Yung, welcomed the inaugural berthing of the cruise ship Mariner of the Seas.Read More

Hyperspectral Imaging Reveals New Information For Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The human eye is an important instrument for gathering information about the world, but it has limitations and obviously varies from person to person. It sees only over a particular range of wavelengths and has a limited ability to distinguish very similar colors. Hyperspectral imaging technologies provide a solution for overcoming these limitations, revealing data that the eye alone cannot capture. This article presents and discusses the new information that hyperspectral imaging brings to unmnanned aerial vehicles.

On Saturday, USA Today reported that Dan Page, an officer with the St. Louis County police department, was placed on administrative leave after video emerged of a speech he gave calling Barack Obama an "undocumented president" from Kenya. He also railed against what he called the "black-robed perverts" of the U.S. Supreme Court and affirmative action laws.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," Page said. "That doesn't mean affirmative action."
Revenge may have played a role in the tape's release. According to USA Today, Page shoved CNN host Don Lemon during live coverage from Ferguson last Monday. CNN then dug up the video and contacted the police department on Friday. Lemon personally sent the link of Page's speech, Mediaite said.
USA Today said Page, a retired Army sergeant major, told the Oath Keepers that America faces grave danger from those targeting Christians and the Bill of Rights. He also suggested that Islam will be the evil force driving the apocalypse, citing verses from the Bible. The entire hour-long speech can be seen in the video above.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said he immediately placed Page on administrative leave. Page will also undergo a psychological evaluation and be subjected to an internal affairs investigation, The Blaze said. Belmar said the segments where Page spoke about killing prompted him to take action.
"I don't legally have the authority to fire an individual like that," Belmar said. "I will tell you that if he were a probationary officer, he would not (have the latitude of an investigation) and I would have fired him an hour and a half ago."
Belmar also apologized for Page's remarks. While groveling before Lemon, Belmar said that as a police chief, it's "embarrassing when you find out about stuff like this."
When asked if Page's comments adhere to the department's code of conduct, Belmar told Lemon, "Not at all. They are not indicative of the St. Louis County police department, they're not indicative of the officers that he works beside, and frankly, he's let them down."

text: May 1, 2013 17:13 Fresh Ideas: Peppery spinach-artichoke dip Fresh Ideas: Peppery spinach-artichoke dip Photo by HELANA BRIGMANSpinach-Artichoke Dip With Spicy Cayenne provides a real kick. Serve with your favorite chip or toasted baguette slices. Helana Brigman Comments As many readers may know, I'm a bit of a seasonal cook. And my first book, ??The Fresh Table: Cooking in Louisiana All Year Round," is out just in time for spring. Its recipes are seasonal and the content is a blend of tried-and-true classics from my Clearly Delicious website and from south Louisiana residents. With the book's recent release, I thought I'd give The Advocate's readers a preview of one of the recipes found in the book's spring section: Spinach Artichoke Dip With Spicy Cayenne. When I was developing the recipes for "The Fresh Table," I wanted the seasonal menus to reflect what was affordable and available in our Southern gardens, markets and produce stands, while also taking advantage of fresh (albeit, sometimes freshly frozen) goods when necessary. A fresh table doesn't have to be fresh in every sense of the word — freshly cracked pepper, freshly plucked herbs — but fresh in some ingredients, like a beautiful head of spinach from the market, or just "fresh" in ideas. For this recipe, the spinach and artichoke hearts are not picked straight from the garden (although if you have these resources available, please make the substitution) but freshly frozen and canned. I don't know a single cook who'd like to quarter his or her own artichoke hearts. What separates this recipe from other spinach artichoke dips is my addition of spicy cayenne. It's one of my favorite spring recipes. Helana Brigman is a food writer, photographer and cookbook author.

Clip plus vs Cowon Iaudio 9. Arghhhhhh
Im so confused by which one to buy. After scouting the boards for these type of discussions, i am left even more confused by you audiophiles.
I enjoy clarity of sound in music, being able to listen to different instruments and also i enjoy the human voice. By setting my eq to Jazz in my old mp3 player, i feel like the person is singing next to my ear, but the bass gets terribly reduced. I want you to tell me in ur opinion which wud be better for a guy like me who
1) Wants great clarity in sound ( Enjoys listening to detail of individual instruments)
2) Enjoys human voice ( Wants it to "pop" out, as if the singer is next to the listener)
3) Enjoy a medium level of bass( Im not a fan of deep bass, clarity and crispness is more important. Also not a fan of EQ modding. Like basic adustments)
BTW, i will be using one of these with my soundmagic e10

Welcome to Abi
What you're looking for is handled by the characteristics of your headphones much more than the player. I have them both and the E10. With the volumes matched and all sound enhancements off I can't hear a difference. I'd pick the one that has the feature set you prefer.
I mostly find sound presets to be fairly useless. They are generalized tweaks that work for some headphones and ears but they usually don't suit me. That doesn't mean they sound bad, just that they don't work for me. I've learned to use the equalizer on both the Clip+ and Zip (Rockboxed of course ) to adjust the sound to my liking. Using the equalizer along with a bit of the BBE effects on the Cowon gets me close to same overall enjoyment level. The overall sound isn't exactly the same but both sound very good to me.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
+1 Headphones make the largest difference between two top tier players that are volume matched. That said, if you want BBEs sound enhancements (JetEffects 3.0) you can only get that on a cowon. Although these days you can get an app; JetAudio effects for Android or BBE SonicMax for iphone/pod. I have both players and while I love BBE, I use my clip zip more often because of rockbox, expansion slot and its overall small size.

Coherence Special Interest Group in San Francisco on April 21st
By Reza Shafii on Apr 12, 2011
I have joined the Oracle Coherence product management team since the begining of the year. Coherence is a really exciting product that, among other things, allows applications to dramatically improve their performance and scale linearly. I am hoping to write more blog entries specific to Coherence capabilities in the near future, but I wanted to first post this entry about the next Bay Area Coherence Special Interest Group (BACSIG) meeting due to take place on Thursday April 21st. The BACSIG is a quarterly event targeted at a technical audience (typically developers and architetcs).
This is the first time that the event is being held in downtown San Francisco. Typically it has been held at the Oracle campus in Redwood shores. The agenda for this month's event is specially interesting as Adam Messinger, the Oracle VP who leads Java development, will be attending and giving us a brief talk on Oracle and Java. We will also be talking about the upcoming 3.7 release of Coherence and some exciting new features. I am hopeful that we will see a good attendance from the San Francisco developer and architect community. If you are interested, please register in advance as space is limited (only about 50 spots available). Of course we will also have dinner available for all attendees.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, will be reverting back to his original artist name of Puff Daddy when he releases his upcoming album titled "MMM" according to Billboard on March 24.
Forbes richest star in the hip-hop world will be releasing his first solo album since the 2006 album "Press Play." As name changes have become synonymous with Combs, reverting back to the Puff Daddy nickname will symbolize a return to music as a solo album.
Combs seems to change his nickname every time he embarks upon a new project. He has been Diddy for the past decade after briefly going under the name of P.Diddy. Under Diddy, he has released a Diddy-Dirity Money collaboration album titled "Last Train to Paris". He has launched the careers of musical groups such as Danity Kane and Day 26 and has been involved in numerous business ventures.
The new album does not have a release date yet, but the timing of the announcement coincides with a teaser trailer for his new single, "Big Home." The teaser video features appearances by Rick Ross and French Montana. The single is scheduled to hit the airwaves on March 31.
Under the original tag of Puff Daddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records is hoping to re-create that old hip-hop vibe with a modern touch of course.

Former SMU tennis player Johan Brunstrom advanced in men's doubles at the Olympics on Monday
July 30, 2012
LONDON (Olympics/SMU) - Former SMU All-American Johan Brunstrom advanced to the second round of men's tennis doubles at the Olympics. He and Robert Lindstedt of Sweden combined to defeat ATP No. 2 Novak Djokovic and Viktor Troicki of Serbia on Monday at the All England Club. Brunstrom becomes SMU's first tennis player to advance at the Olympics.
The Swedish pair won in straight sets, 7-6 (8), 6-3. Djokovic has won five Grand Slam singles events in his career, was the 2011 ATP Player of the Year, and recently won the Best Male Tennis Player ESPY Award.
Brunstrom, a three-time All-American during his collegiate career, is currently ranked 31st in the world doubles rankings. Lindstedt is ranked 10th. Brunstrom has advanced to tournament finals 10 times in his doubles career, winning the Swiss Open on clay in Gstaad, Switzerland in August 2010. His latest final came at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, R.I., in July 2011.
Brunstom is SMU's first men's tennis doubles participant and second male tennis player to appear in the Olympics. Richey Reneberg represented the USA in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, but posted a DNF in his first singles event. Reneberg won the 1992 U.S. Open Doubles Championship and the 1995 Australian Open Doubles Championship.
The next match for Brunstrom and Lindstedt will be Tuesday against Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig of Croatia. A win would advance the duo to the quarterfinals.

A HeartStrings sew-in
I'm more of a sunset than sunrise kind of girl but I was up early this morning heading south toward Rochester for a HeartStrings sew-in. I had to pull off the road and get my camera out of the trunk to take some sunrise photos. The amount of cloud cover made for a dramatic slice of light as the sun came up.
We worked hard at the sew-in and had a good time to0. You can see my table all set up to tie a HeartStrings top. That's Sheree on the left who pieces a lot of backings for me and Sue who receives all the HeartStrings blocks here in the US and pieces many tops (her Mom helps too) for our volunteer quilters.
This top was pieced by Sue and her group in California (yes, a different Sue) and was the last of 9 tops they sent in to be finished and donated. Several still need binding but all will be bound and donated soon.
Feeling SO much better today
Up to doing errands, quilting, and getting ready for a HeartStrings Sew-in tomorrow.
This Happy Block top was pieced by Carol from donated blocks at our last sew-in and quilted today with the pantograph Happy Times.
Believe it or not, this is the last Happy Block top I have here waiting for quilting (I think I've quilted about 12 of them) but I think Carol may have some more tops pieced to pass on to me tomorrow at the sew-in.
Instructions to make your own Happy Block Quilt can be found at my Mary Quilts.com site.
In spite of feeling like crap
I made it down to the longarm room again tonight. Another top pieced by San and quilted with the pantograph Lush Leaves.
Who knows, I might even get another one or two done before Saturday. The more I get quilted, the more help with binding I'll have from Sheree and Cindy!
One more
I was going to bed but I've really missed my quilting over the last couple weeks while I was traveling so I thought I'd load another top and once I'd loaded it, I decided to go ahead and quilt it.
This top was pieced by Sue and her group in CA. I think it's the 6th one I've done from the box of tops they sent in for quilting but I could be off by one. This was quilted with a swirly version of Dwirling from the Pajama Quilter DVD.
Do you worry about getting in a rut with your quilting? You see this design from me fairly often especially on HeartStrings quilts but it's fun to quilt and the texture really suits these tops so I don't mind that I use it often.
Now I really am heading to bed after I take my NyQuil and I'll probably sleep late too!
Quilting — on this week's to do list
There's a HeartStrings sew-in on Saturday and I've had offers of help with binding from Sheree and Cindy so on my list of things to do this week is quilting. For the most part, I tend to try and keep up with my binding so there are just 2 quilts for me to take with me for binding…well, make that 3 now.
After laying around all day I thought I might wrestle up enough energy to quilt and got this top (pieced by San) quilted with a large allover stars and loops meander. This is one of several tops that I've been quilting for her that will be donated to veterans.
My goal is to get one or two more tops done to take with me. Thanks to the backings pieced by Sheree, Nancy, and Tish I'm able to get these donated tops loaded quickly. I think this one was pieced by Nancy but I could be wrong since I've been rooting around on the shelves and they're no longer in their original stacks.
I was reading a post at Tanya's blog which reminded me I'd been lax in backing up my blog. I'd love to have a hard copy of it but haven't found a method that isn't time consuming and cumbersome. So for now, I pull up the monthly pages and save them as an HTML file and then back those up to a separate on site storage device….of course, a fire would wipe it out both my original and backed up copies but my one trial with off site backups was kind of a pain so I'm not bothering with that anymore.
So do you backup or just hope for the best?
I had a list a mile long
My resistance must be down because I came home from Boston with either a bad cold or a mild flu — sometimes it's hard to tell which. I did have to run Chesty out to the vet and go to pick up some meds but now I'm planning on putting my *to do* list on hold and just taking it easy the next couple days.
Maybe I'll even be able to catch up on some of my blog reading and see what you all have been up to.
Checking up on Chesty
I'm at the airport waiting for my flight and decided to check up on Chesty at the kennel. I'm anxious to get home and pick him up. (The arrow is pointing to him — sometimes I have to study the dogs for a while to figure out which one he is…the other white dog in the photo is a Westie I think).
Boston, it's wet but beautiful!
We walked for miles today and while we had to pull out our umbrellas from time to time it was a wonderful autumn day. You should be able to click on any of the thumbnails below to see a larger view.

The Bald Soprano
by Eugene Ionesco
The Fire Chief
Character Analysis
The Fire Chief shows up totally randomly about midway through the play. In some ways he's the most complex character in the piece. The guy definitely has more than a few facets to his character, which is more than you can say for anybody else. For one, we see that he's dedicated to his job. He's been charged to put out all the fires in the city and has come to ask the Smiths if they happen to be having a fire right now. The Chief is very disappointed to find out that there isn't one and complains that the business of putting out fires is going very poorly lately.
We also see that he's a little bit shy. When he first begins to tell his stories, he asks everyone not to listen. As for the stories themselves, they could indicate that either he's absolutely brilliant or completely stupid. Check out this little interchange:
Fire Chief: "'The Dog and the Cow,' an experimental fable. Once upon a time another cow asked another dog: 'Why have you not swallowed your trunk?' 'Pardon me,' replied the dog, 'it is because I thought that I was an elephant.'"
Mrs. Martin: "What's the moral?"
Fire Chief: "That's for you to find out." (251-253)
As we explain in our entry on the theme of "Philosophical Viewpoints: The Absurd," this story in many ways sums up the entire play and the philosophy of Absurdism itself. Of course, it's unclear as to whether the Fire Chief is at all aware of this. So, it's hard to know if he's a genius or an fool. Maybe, there's not as much difference between the two as most people might imagine.
Mary surprises us when she reveals that she and the Fire Chief were once lovers. The Chief confirms this and seems glad to see Mary again. Hey, maybe the Fire Chief is a bit of a ladies' man. Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Martin also plant kisses on him.
It's unclear as to whether the Fire Chief has any real affection for Mary, though. He doesn't make any effort to stop the Smiths from pushing her offstage. Also, as far as we know, he doesn't go to see her before he leaves. Perhaps, like the rest of the characters of the play, the Fire Chief has the memory of a goldfish and simply forgets about her.
Like so many aspects of the play, much of the Fire Chief's character remains a mystery. Still, he manages to pack in more character in the few pages he's on stage than the Smiths do during the whole play. We're sticking to our guns on this one – the Fire Chief definitely wins for most complexity.

Betsy writes: "Hello there OB lovelies! I got married in September, and one of my fabulous bridesmaids got pregnant shortly after the wedding. I'd like to create a gift basket for her, and your post on the Spoiled Mama Bump Box Pregnancy Gift Set got me thinking: I want this basket to be mostly about HER, not the baby. Since a *few* of you OB ladies are now (or recently have been) pregnant, I thought you would give the best recommendations. So far I'm thinking the Bump Box gift set, and maybe the 9 Months Sober Maternity Tee that you also featured. I want this basket to make her feel special, and include all the best products that you found, were given, or wish you had during your pregnancies!
A little about my friend:
This is her first baby, and she is about 3 months pregnant. She tends to be a bit of an over-thinker/worrier, and works out religiously. Anything that would help pamper her, and help out with the pregnancy fun while helping her relax and soothe sore muscles would be great. She also has a wonderful sense of humor, so other funny additions like the 9 Months Sober Tee would be awesome! I'd like to keep the basket under $200."
This was a joint effort. Nearly every currently-pregnant or recently-pregnant Outblush girl threw in their Most Appreciated Shower Gift ideas. Maintaining a friendship and providing unconditional support is key, regardless of the gift. Doing things together after wee bambino pops out will mean more to her than any favors or presents.
1. Offer to Babysit ($free) Me time is key in the first few months of parenthood.
2. LUSH Hello Gorgeous Set ($40) Pro-tip: Pampering yourself helps you be a better mama. Promise.
3. Florene Humor Laundry Day Coffee Gift Basket ($45) Do her laundry for her, but share a cup of coffee while doing it. She'll appreciate the adult interaction as much as the favor.
4. Margarita Mama ($6) Fake it until you make it...out of the pregnancy and breastfeeding stage.
5. Restaurant gift cards ($any price) Can be used in conjunction with Number One.
6. Mambino Organics Mommy Care Pack ($78) The complete collection of products that will help your bestie feel better while her body feels ultrapregnant.
7. High Density Foam Roller ($30) For working out the kinks and all-around discomfort associated with carrying around a baby, both inside and outside the womb.

Magzilla here: When I'm not busy eating my way to the bottom of a ginger candy bag, I'm tweezing my eyebrows.

When you need help finding the right shade of eyeliner to match that new shade of "I haven't slept in days" tint your skin gets after a baby or four, call on me. Loudly.
I own the Margarita Mama book, it's awesome!
Also, go in with your friends to set up a Meal Train (http://www.mealtrain.com/) for her for the first few weeks after the birth. That way she can save all the stuff in her freezer for later!

Moscow train derailment: 20 dead, 160 injured
MOSCOW (CNN) -- The death toll in a Moscow metro derailment Tuesday now stands at 20, according to the state-run ITAR-Tass news agency, citing Russia's Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov.
The Moscow health care department gave a slightly lower figure, saying 19 were confirmed dead.
Another 160 people are injured, of whom 129 are hospitalized, it said. Of those, 42 are in critical condition.
The derailment took place during morning rush hour in the Russian capital. Three metro train cars derailed in a tunnel, ITAR-Tass reported.
More than 200 people were evacuated, the Emergency Ministry said on its website.
Dozens of ambulances arrived at the scene, along with three helicopters, to help shuttle the injured to hospitals, according to ITAR-Tass.
It was not clear what caused the derailment, but the head of Moscow's Transportation Department said it was not a terrorist attack.
However, it's still subject to a criminal investigation as authorities seek to find out what's behind the crash.
In the moments afterward, many of those caught up in the derailment scrambled back up to the surface at the station west of central Moscow, some bleeding and dazed as they emerged.
The rescue operation had become a recovery operation by Tuesday afternoon as emergency workers sought to free the remaining bodies from within the mangled train cars.
Their efforts were made more difficult by the depth of Moscow's metro lines, on which roughly 11 million people travel daily.
The metro system -- the backbone of the city's public transit network -- has been the target of past terror attacks.
