Billy Joe Tolliver is not picked to win the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course this weekend, and there are several factors that go into that - his past finishes, his practice rounds and even his late-night activities.
"I'll tell you one thing about Billy. He played golf with one of my good friends, Larry Sanders, yesterday and I asked Larry what time they went to bed. It was around midnight," Harrah's full service gaming manager Steve Schorr said. "So that's one of the things that for Billy Joe we look at; we don't know if he's going to be at the concert or what he's going to be doing on Saturday night."
"Like Steve said, it's hit or miss with me. It depends on how early I can get the drunk shakes off. If it happens by the fifth hole, I'm pretty good," Tolliver said. "You just hope you can get through three or four and make some hay there. But then usually you settle in, get enough water in you where you've recovered from the night before and hope you haven't wasted it.
"But you never know about me. I've got a bad golf swing. It's just whenever it times up, I'm good. When my timing's off, I gotta chip and putt."
The former NFL quarterback is slated behind Rick Rhoden, who is at 4-to-1 odds, and Tony Romo who is favored to win the tourney at 5-to-2 after coming up short last year.
"We do the best we can. And what we came up with on Tony Romo, a couple things that are key. Out of the top 15 players that we really believe have the chance, Tony is active. He's younger. He's 32," Schorr said. "We believe that he's the best golfer of the bunch. He's a new father. He's married. He's stable. And we think he's going to kick the door in."
Rhoden, a former MLB pitcher, has won the ACC eight times. He is looking to bounce back from the previous tournaments, in which he found himself outside of the top five.
"When I'm playing good, I'm pretty good. When I'm not, I'm not. So hopefully this week it will be when I'm playing pretty good," Rhoden said.
"For us, Rick's been a great golfer," Schorr said. "He visits us once in a while. He's won eight times. We question his last two places. He got a sixth in 2011 and an eighth in 2010. So we're not sure if his year is over. We hope it's not. That's why we've got Romo up there as No. 1."
Speaking of Romo, who has come so close to winning it all in recent years - not the Super Bowl, of course - Rhoden would not be surprised to see him win it.
"I don't know, Tony's a good player. I expect him to win this tournament a few times. He just needs to get in more tournaments," Rhoden said.
"But there's, I would say, there's eight or nine guys here; if they play well, they've got a pretty good chance," he added. "I think Tony's probably the best guy of the group that's come up in the last five or six years. He's a good player. It wouldn't surprise me if he won. I think he's going to win a few of them before he gets through playing."
Tolliver doesn't believe marriage will settle Romo down, saying, "I mean, it's not like Romo was a wild child anyway."
In fact, he doesn't want it to change a thing.
"I mean, I hope marriage keeps him in second, though, I'm not going to lie to you."

best time tracking app i've used on any OS (and I've tried 20-30). Terrific integration with iCal and Things.
if you find the process of adding a tag a bit slow, download the free FlexCal to accompany this and ical, makes adding tasks and events so quick and painless, i love the combination
Minco is an excellent addition to my workflow! I now use The Hit List to map out my tasks (automatically syncing to iCal), then I use Minco to record a line by line timesheet with notes on each period of work and save to a .csv file using the File System adapter, which I then drop into Pages and Numbers for invoices and analysis.
Great customer support too - I had a minor problem with note syncing and wrote to the developer who got back to me very quickly with a helpful resolution. A delightful experience all-round.
Adding tasks is there as of beta 3, not the quickest thing to do in the program, but it works just fine. App is really starting to become quite greatâ¦
Clever integration with iCal and Things. Beautiful design. New generation of time tracking apps.
Great app, especially in combination with Things by Cultured Code. Needs some polish, but relatively far for a Beta app.
It's pretty nice, but I wish I could add tasks from inside Mincoâ¦Â That's really quite frustrating to meâ¦Â
The best time tracking app on the OS X if you like things minimal.

Definición de excitation en inglés:
sustantivo[mass noun]
1 technical The application of energy to something, in particular:
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Pyrethroids attack the nervous system of insects, provoking excitation, paralysis and death.
- The increased density ends up requiring more energy for the same amount of excitation that would lead to the boiling of the water.
1.1 Physics The process in which an atom or other particle adopts a higher energy state when energy is supplied: thermal excitation
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Simplified model fitting of the experimental data enabled to evaluate the spectroscopic parameters characterizing excitation and photoionization processes.
- In the Rydberg system, instead of shrinking the lattice constant to make the atoms overlap, you can simply increase the size of the atom by increasing its excitation.
- Made up of small numbers of gold or silver atoms, the nanoclusters are strongly fluorescent and have narrow excitation and emission spectra.
1.2 Physiology The state of enhanced activity of a cell, organism, or tissue which results from its stimulation: these neurotransmitters can produce excitation or inhibition
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- One of the photointermediates interacts with the G protein, resulting in the electrical excitation of a photoreceptor cell.
- This occurs at chemical synapses when neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and produce excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic cell.
- In others, such as those controlling the diameter of a large blood vessel, excitation is by neurotransmitters released from autonomic nerve endings close to the cells, but not with structured synapses.
1.3The application of current to the winding of an electromagnet to produce a magnetic field: continuous rotation of the motor by sequential excitation of the phase windings [as modifier]: two parallel coils with opposing excitation windings
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- A barrier valve including an armature, longitudinally movable toward a pole core by excitation of an electrical winding.
- Theoretical models based on current injection membranes predict that excitation will occur for currents of all strengths once a threshold is exceeded.

1.4The application of a signal voltage to the control electrode of an electron tube or the base of a transistor.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The photovoltaic signal continues to rise for 4.5 ps after excitation, and the voltage profile corresponds well with the population dynamics of the K state.
- From analyzing the recorded signal, both the excitation and response of the ground are obtained simultaneously.
2The action of exciting or the state of being excited; excitement: a state of sexual excitation
Más ejemplos en oraciones
- In general, this study's results suggest the woman's consent, or lack thereof, influenced the predictive utility of both sexual excitation and attraction to sexual aggression.
- Males have a lower threshold for sexual excitation, tend to perceive people and relationships in a more sexualized manner, and are more likely to interpret a variety of stimuli as signals of sexual intent.
- Only when a man engages in too close an association with young males who are either the object of sexual excitation or could easily lead to it do questions like these prove important in retrospect.
Late Middle English: from Old French, from late Latin excitatio(n-), from excitare 'rouse, call forth' (see excite).

Beyond antimagnetic standard
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:20:00 PM in Ball (26)
Ball Watch features some of the most advances in watch technology including its patented SpringLock, gas light and shock resistance. One of its most important technological features is the antimagnetic property. As a popular watch signature for outdoor activities and in tough situations where accuracy is critical, Ball Watch guarantees that the watch doesn't stop even if exposed to magnetism. The earth has a magnetic field that can influence the tiny mechanical parts of a watch. Likewise, man-made magnets like those used in railroad tracks or electronic equipment can impact on a watch's movement. With an antimagnetic casing or alloy to protect the mechanical parts, Ball Watch ensures precision movement is maintained even when exposed to magnets. Ball Watch timepieces have a magnetic tolerance up to 12,000A/m, where the industry standard is only 4.800A/m.
Ball Watch is available at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto, California.

CHAMBERSBURG — A former Fort Loudon woman, who was arrested in Georgia last year in connection to a 1995 shooting death in Franklin County, entered a not guilty plea to criminal homicide in Franklin County Court Wednesday.
Tonya N. Dice, 39, has been charged with criminal homicide and hindering apprehension or prosecution in relation to the 1995 shooting death of Freddie Brumfield in Greene Township. Brumfield's body was found on Jan. 13, 1995, along Funk Road, where he died from a single gunshot wound.
Dice had told police back in 1995, that she had witnessed the shooting and cleaned up the blood afterward. Police possibly believe Dice was acting as an accomplice at the scene.
In December 2012, U.S. Marshals apprehended Dice in Dalton, Ga., where she was living with her husband and three children under the alias of Jessica Keil.
In July 1995, Dice failed to appear in court for an unrelated drug case and in 1999 an arrest warrant for Dice was issued based on evidence from the Pennsylvania State Police's investigation into the homicide of Brumfield.
Dice is currently being held in Franklin County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.

November 16, 2006
Hundreds of thousands of women across the country are forced to work as truck stop prostitutes.
Their pimps move them across I-20.
Local FBI agents recently arrested Vincent Taitaque at a truck stop about an hour south of Augusta for transporting a minor across state lines.
The pimps keep the girls on the move…and the interstate brings the industry right through our area.
We take you now to the source of the problem, just a hundred miles down the interstate, to a place many call the worst truck stop in the country.
It's a place called Party Row, where young women disappear between hundreds of trucks parked for the night. This scene comes minutes after a call over the CB radio
Girl: "Anybody looking for a cutie pie, I'll be out walking."
Trucker: "Walk around a little bit, I want to see how cute you are."
Girl: "Which area do I need to walk in to show you how cute I am?"
Trucker Ron Blair says it happens in lots where normal vehicles and pedestrians aren't allowed.
"I've seen them bounce from truck to truck," he told News 12. "You hear them on the CB all night long."
"It's prostitutes that come on the truck stops, come on the lots, and have sex for money with truckers that's been on the roads for 2/3 weeks at a time," said trucker Mike Reynolds. "They come up and like, 'Do you want any commercial company?'"
"Commercial company" is the common call that comes across the radio.
Girl: "You looking for some company, boo?"
Trucker: "Uh-huh, I'm here in the back lot."
Girl: "What color is your house?"
When the trucker accepts, he tells the woman where to find him, and a vehicle disappears into Party Row. Minutes later, she climbs out of a truck, and walks off. Then, after a short phone call, she heads back down to the lot on foot.
Many of the prostitutes, known on the street as "lot lizards", make the CB calls off the lot to avoid security. Then a man will drive her to the trucker, and he stays nearby the entire time, until the deal is complete.
Local FBI agent Ed Reinhold works to keep the problem away from truck stops in our area. He says more than 300,000 girls across the country--some as young as 9--are forced into this lifestyle. And pimps tend to target the ones from broken homes.
"Once he gets his hooks into them, he may go as far as to promise to marry them," Agent Reinhold said. "He gives them their first sexual experience, and then he starts prostituting them out."
Across the country, in some cases. We saw a pimp waiting for his girl in a white van. Once she got out of a truck, he picked her up and they got on the interstate, heading to the next truck stop. The constant moving makes it hard to escape…which means the girls are stuck working the truck stops for men some refer to as their "boyfriend".
"If the girls don't bring in a certain amount of money at the end of the night, then there is some type of repercussion, some type of violence," Agent Reinhold told News 12.
That's why some girls make more than a dozen calls during the night.
Girl: "Go to 25 if you're looking for commercial company."
Trucker: "Where you at?
Girl: "Where you at, baby?"
Then the curtains close, and the woman comes out of the truck minutes later. She does this several more times that hour.
"I don't even open the curtain for them," says trucker Lee Abraham. "They'll beat on your door all night."
Many truckers like Lee aren't interested in "lot lizards". But listening to the CB, we found there's no shortage of customers.
Girl: "You want to come play?"
Trucker: "Booty call?"
Girl: "Straight up."
Trucker: "I don't know honey, I've never seen you."
Girl: "I'm coming back to the truck, where you located at?"
Then a vehicle drives a woman to the darkest part of the lot...a scene Ron Blair avoids on every trip.
"After dark, keep your windows rolled up and your doors locked," he said.
Ron can lock the doors and drive away…but it's a different story for these women, lost and forgotten as they disappear into the night.
The FBI assisted with hundreds of thousands of arrests in connection with runaways and prostitution in the past five years. And our local agents are continuing to do everything they can to keep the problem from driving into our area.
Research from the CDC shows the environment where young women grow up influences their chances of encountering some type of sexual violence in their lives. Women from broken homes have a 54 percent chance of becoming victims before age 18.
Counselor Melanie Klaus from the Augusta Rape Crisis Center says the road to recovery is often a long one.
"Maybe they don't feel like they deserve any better. 'This is what I'm here for, this is what I'm good for. I'm just here to be used by somebody'," Klaus explained.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual violence, you can contact Augusta's Rape Crisis Center at (706) 724-5200.

Kenny Steinke (Courtesy: DownsideupFMX.com)
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Motocross stunt driver Kenny Steinke's condition has been upgraded from critical to serious after an accident during a show in Augusta, according to officials at Georgia Regents Medical Center.
It was a terrifying accident that left onlookers in shock.
Steinke crashed Saturday night at the Monster X show at the James Brown Arena in front of hundreds of people, including a friend who's been riding with him for years.
"Kenny's in stable condition," said Travis Willis. "He's doing better day by day. He's breathing on his own. He's moving both arms, both legs. He has opened his eyes. So, each day gets better and better."
Willis is part of Team FMX with Steinke based in Orlando.
"We've been all around the world together. And this is what he does, day in day out," Willis said. "He's a strong guy."
Steinke's been riding professionally for about 12 years, and Willis says he's no stranger to a hard fall.
"He's got two plates, 18 screws in his right arm. I've seen him take big chunks out of his hand," Willis said. "Hospitals aren't the place we like to be, but we do know that that's our occupational hazard unfortunately."
And one simple mistake can make all the difference.
"He was performing a trick where he takes one leg over the handlebars and leans back," Willis said. "In the process of getting back on the bike, his foot got caught up in the handlebars. And we're only in the air for just a few seconds, and it just wasn't long enough for him to get unhooked."
Leaving him to recover in his new home away from home.
"We want to thank everybody for their support. Augusta's just been tremendous. We've had an [outcry] of support that's just been phenomenal. We can't thank everybody enough."
Steinke's team and family have set up a way for folks to donate. You can make donations on Paypal at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Virgil Hunter: Amir Khan can 'shock' Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Trainer Virgil Hunter believes Amir Khan "can shock the world" and defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr. if his fighter gets a shot at the reigning welterweight and junior middleweight champ on May 3.
Trainer Virgil Hunter believes Amir Khan "can shock the world" and defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr. if his fighter gets a shot at the reigning welterweight and junior middleweight champ on May 3.
Amir Khan said he has signed his part of the contract to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 3, but added that would also welcome a clash with friend and former stablemate Manny Pacquiao.
Marcos Maidana's manager, Sebasian Contursi, believes his fighter would make for a more exciting bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. than would Amir Khan.
Richard Schaefer on being chosen Promoter of The Year by Sports Illustrated: "In the end, this is all about the fans of our great sport and I will continue to deliver the best fights and fighters to them in 2014 and beyond."
Trainer Mike Stafford said that among Adrien Broner's mistakes against Marcos Maidana is that he tried to make their bout "a street fight" too early.
Referee Laurence Cole discussed his role in the very physical, action-packed fight during which Marcos Maidana unanimously decisioned Adrien Broner for the WBA's welterweight belt.
Robert Garcia on Marcos Maidana's win over Adrien Broner: "We were ready to throw 100 punches a round. We know that's the only way to beat somebody like Adrien Broner, or that's the way to beat somebody like Floyd Mayweather [Jr.,]. That's the way [Roberto] Duran beat Sugar Ray Leonard."
Heavyweights Bryant Jennings and Artur Szpillka will meet in a clash of unbeatens in the Jan. 25 co-featured to Mikey Garcia's WBO 130-pound title defense agaisnt Juan Carlos Burgos on HBO.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer on Marcos Maidana-Adrien Broner: "I would like to see a rematch. I would like a rematch at the Alamodome. There is no rematch clause."
WBA light heavyweight titleholder Beibut Shumenov scored knockdowns in the first, second and third rounds of Saturday's third-round knockout victory over Tamas Kovacs
Marcos Maidana on Adrien Broner: "When I get my hands on him, he won't know what to do. He won't know what hit him." The welterweight standouts fight tonight on Showtime.
Brandon Rios on his positive drug test: "I don't take no drugs. I don't take no diet supplements or [expletive] like that. The way I fight, I'm all natural. I'm a strong [expletive]."
Both Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman weighed in well under the welterweight division limit for thier fights against Marcos Maidana and Jesus Soto Karass. Broner weighed 144.4 pounds; Thurman weighed 145.8. Maidana and Soto Karass both weighed 146.2.
Rick Morones Jr., a local gym owner in San Antonio, calls Adrien Broner "a big-hearted person" after Broner purchased four space heaters for his chilly facility.
Most of the fighters involved in the Adrien Broner-Marcos Maidana, Leo Santa Cruz-Cesar Seda, Keith Thurman-Jesus Soto Karass and Beibut Shumenov-Tamas Kovacs matchups promised fireworks on Saturday at The Alamodome in San Antonio.
WBA welterweight titleholder Adrien Broner has a speedy boxing style that usually troubles challlenger Marcos Maidana, who may employ an aggressive strategy that once stymied Broner. RingTV.com polled 25 boxing insiders/fans about whose style will prevail on Saturday.
Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov has been taken out of a coma and out of the intensive care unit, according to his promoter.
Showtime's Stephen Espinoza on a potential Floyd Mayweather fight in New York: "Floyd is intrigued by being the biggest and the best and being a trailblazer. Coming into the New York market in a way that no one has before would be very appealing."
Floyd Mayweather calls potential May 3 opponent Amir Khan "a young, strong champion," who "comes and fights."
Referee Steve Smoger on James Kirkland's sixth-round stoppage of Glen Tapia, which many fans thought came at least one round too late: "The doctor told me any head shots and that was it," said Smoger. "So that was my directive."

- Purdy: Oakland A's love to hit in Detroit
- Oakland A's notebook: Dan Otero gets 'six biggest outs of my life'
- Grant Balfour, Victor Martinez detail altercation in Game 3 of ALDS
- Purdy: Grant Balfour did NOT wake up sleeping Tigers
- Hickey: Balfour-Martinez confab was great theatre
- Oakland A's one win away from advancing after beating Detroit Tigers 6-3
In one sentence Monday, Grant Balfour illustrated the A's best chance of winning the World Series.
"Hey man," Balfour told reporters, relaying the PG version of what he said to Detroit's Victor Martinez, "you want to stare me down like that and you got a problem, then come on out."
That's the mindset that's going to get the A's over the hump. That's the moxie it's going to take to seize the franchise's first World Series title since 1989.
It seemed unnecessary, since the A's were well on their way to a 2-1 series lead. But Oakland fans should be encouraged by the ninth-inning, benches-clearing jaw-jacking that took place in the A's 6-3 win in Detroit. It was a peek inside the heart of the Athletics, and it appears this team might really be ready to climb this mountain.
The passive approach is to let sleeping dogs lie, not give the Tigers anything to be amped about heading into Game 4. But that's weak. That can't be these A's. They're not going to win seeking the path of least resistance. They can't merely hope the other team loses. They need to go take it to 'em, take victory from 'em.
The A's best chance is to be young, be fearless, be aggressive. That's how you get through perhaps the best starting rotation in the postseason. That's how you take down Boston in Fenway, likely the next hurdle should they advance. When these A's are most special, its because they aren't scared. They don't care if their pie celebrations come off as over the top, or if the stadium is half empty, or if they're overlooked and underappreciated by the media and the greater baseball community.
Rookie Sonny Gray set the tone for that edge in Game 2. His performance was nothing short of gangsta. Facing an 0-2 series hole, against the same Justin Verlander who punked the A's last postseason, Gray did more than not back down. He went at the Tigers.
Fittingly, Balfour continued that theme Monday. He started it all with the classic bar-fight-igniting line: "What the (bleep) you looking at, (bleep)?" In a critical game three, the A's not only beat the Tigers, in their home park, but they pulled their card for dessert.
Leave it to Balfour rage to raise the stakes.
But it was a good thing. If Oakland is indeed the team everyone thinks it is, then it will have the back of its crazy-cousin closer. You want the A's hoping to get a motivated Martinez, eager to subdue a revenge-seeking Prince Fielder. Because the reality is, Balfour's edge-of-crazy, take-on-all-comers mentality is the key to the Athletics advancing.
"It's all good," Balfour added. "I'm cool with it. I like it. I like a little fire."

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The proposed two-megawatt Cabin Creek Biomass Energy Facility aimed at reducing the risk of wildfire and improving air quality in the region is one step closer to reality.
The Placer County Planning Commission recently approved a conditional use permit and certified the final Environmental Impact Report prepared by the nonprofit Sequoia Foundation that found the facility will "likely" benefit Lake Tahoe community health.
Walter Levings, natural resource staff with Tahoe National Forest, said the agency has "long been in support of utilization" of biomass, plant matter that can be converted into an energy source.
"It's an alternative to open burning, which you can only perform so many days," Levings said. "Also, there is not as much air pollution (when using a biomass facility), which has positive health effects on local residents."
The U.S. Forest Service and Calfire perform prescribed fires and pile burns, which involve the controlled burning of collected materials by trained professionals under specific weather conditions to reduce the risk of wildfire.
According to Placer County, the biomass facility proposed at the Eastern Regional Landfill on Cabin Creek Road off Highway 89 would be supplied by woody biomass gathered within a 30-mile radius, and gasification technology would be used to convert the material into fuel, ultimately generating electricity.
"It's somewhat controversial (the facility), but it would certainly benefit our chipping program," said Dave Zaski, public information officer with the North Tahoe Fire Protection District.
He said the department has run out of places to bring residents' chipped branches, with the closure the Loyalton biomass plant in August 2010.
"We have to leave the chips with the residents, and we'd rather not have to do that," said Zaski, adding that the residential chipping program is an effort to create defensible space around people's homes.
In 2012, NTFPD received more than 1,800 chipping requests from residents within its 31-square-mile coverage area on the North and West shores, he said.
Despite that, Zaski said the district has taken a "neutral stance" on the proposed facility.
Paul Spencer, public safety and information officer with the Truckee Fire Protection District, shared a similar view, adding that the district's chipping program no longer exists since Aug. 31, 2012.
"It was funded through a grant (by Air Quality Control)," he said, a grant that since expired. "With the economic downturn, we don't have enough monies floating around to fund the program on our own."
Existing fire prevention programs within the district include: dooryard burning, the burning of vegetation material no bigger than 4 feet by 4 feet in residential yards on specific days; residential defensible space inspections, which NTFPD also performs; and the distribution of prevention literature.
"(The biomass) facility is going to help reduce fire danger," Spencer said, especially by using brush from the area.
The proposed biomass facility project includes the construction of an 11,000-square-foot building that would house power-generating and emissions control equipment and a 1-acre fuel storage area, according to Placer County.
The project now needs permits from the Placer County Air Pollution Control District to operate the proposed facility, according to the county's website.

November 29, 2005
Some new pictures you've never seen before of the first moments after January's deadly chlorine leak in Graniteville. This as the government blames the wreck on a catastrophic failure of human performance. News 12 has the details.
This newly-released video shows the closest view of the train crash minutes after it happened. You can actually see the orange-ish chlorine leaking out of a tanker and into Graniteville. This video is part of the NTSB's board meeting that named a probable cause for the crash.
"Would you characterize this as a catastrophic failure of human performance that created the beginnings of this horrible accident?" said Mark Rosenker, Acting Chairman, NTSB.
"No doubt about it. This was a catastrophic failure of human performance," said Rick Narvell, NTSB.
Among the recommendations, put tankers at the rear of the trains, where they're less likely to rupture in an accident. Also, require trains to slow down near switches. Investigators have determined that even if the moving train saw the switch out of place, they didn't have enough time to stop.
Board members say they'll fight to make these recommendations turn into rules for all railroad companies.
"I know we have observing this today families who lost loved ones and our hearts and prayers continue to go out to them for the loss they suffered," Rosenker said.
As the official investigation ends, the healing continues.
Safety board members also expressed hope that someday, tank cars will be built strong enough to survive even the worst of crashes. You'll recall that Norfolk Southern fired the three-man crew that NTSB now officially says is at fault. Norfolk Southern says they are reviewing the board's recommendations.

I listened to scores of new classical CDs this past year. From this ocean of music, I've plucked 10 favorites, from Bach to Birtwistle, with a few alternate choices tossed in.
1 Colin Andrews, "Messiaen: L'Ascension/Messe de la Pentecote" (Loft): Sound the intergalactic trumpets! These big solo organ works will levitate you, then rock your soul toward Messiaen-ic salvation.
2 Veronique Gens, "Berlioz/Ravel" (Ondine): The French soprano leads a magic-carpet excursion through Berlioz ("Herminie" and "Les Nuits d'ete") and Ravel ("Sheherazade"). An exquisite recording, plush and hushed. John Axelrod conducts the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire.
3 Jeanne Golan, "Viktor Ullman: Complete Piano Sonatas." (ArkivMusic):Ullman's seven sonatas open up like chapters in a private diary, demanding our attention. Had he not died in Auschwitz in 1944, his unique musical voice might not be such a secret. Pianist Golan brings these extraordinary pieces to new life.
4 Helene Grimaud and Sol Gabetta, "Duo" (Deutsche Grammophon):Put on your headphones, close the door and soak in these direct-connection performances of Schumann, Brahms, Debussy and Shostakovich by pianist Grimaud and cellist Gabetta. (And try this chamber music nomination: the young Danish String Quartet's "Haydn/Brahms -- String Quartets," on BR Klassic. I especially love their Hadyn, quartet No. 63; the playing is brisk and scrubbed, a total charmer.)
5 Kim Kashkashian, "Viola Works" (ECM): The Armenian-American violist transfixes, playing works by Kurtag and Ligeti. These are earthy performances; the listening becomes sensuous, like burrowing into a bed of mushrooms and pine needles. (More solo strings: Dutch cello virtuoso Pieter Wispelwey has a new recording -- his third -- of J.S. Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello, on the EPR-Classic label. He performs a semitone down from the standard Baroque tuning, and the results are rustic and raw, then feathery and mysterious. )
6 Alexei Lubimov and Natalia Pschenitschnikova, "John Cage -- As It Is" (ECM New Series): These short works for piano and voice are deliciously sonorous and relaxing, yet wind up yanking you into a state of total alertness. These early works, mostly from the 1930s and '40s, include settings of verse by Gertrude Stein and e.e. cummings. There's playfulness and gentle melody here, along with intimations of medieval chant and the bell-like influences of gamelan (via prepared piano). Pianist Lubimov and singer Pschenitschnikova guide listeners to a zone of deep riveting stillness.
7 Mark Padmore, Britten Sinfonia, "Benjamin Britten: Serenade for tenor, horn & strings" (Harmonia Mundi): As Britten's 2013 centennial approaches, we'll hear more of the British composer's works. Start celebrating with this bracing and lovely piece, featuring tenor Padmore, whose technical range -- and range of expression -- is astonishing. Jacqueline Shave leads the intimate ensemble performance.
8 Esa-Pekka Salonen, "Out of Nowhere: Violin Concerto-Nyx" (Deutsche Grammophon): Salonen's concerto (which he conducts here with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra) is awash in color and flight right off the bat: Its first movement, "Mirage," begins with blurs of scale patterns from the soloist, flying upward into cushiony chords played by celesta, glockenspiel, vibraphone and harp. When the full orchestra enters, a few minutes later, with groaning, slow-changing harmonies, it's an Icarus-sees-earth-again moment. Sibelius and John Adams are presences throughout the four-movement piece, but this dreamy, mysterious and moving work is very much Salonen's own. Soloist Leila Josefowicz brings it all off with panache.
9 San Francisco Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor,"American Mavericks" (SFS Media): Recorded at Davies Symphony Hall during last season, this is a wild, wondrous postcard from the edge. Varese's "Amerique" builds to a rattling wallop; cover your ears. Lou Harrison's Organ Concerto (with soloist Paul Jacobs) sounds as if Messiaen sat down with Sun Ra, took some LSD, then traveled to Bali, jamming out with a gamelan orchestra and ceremonial drum corps. But I give my No. 1 vote to Henry Cowell's Piano Concerto: Whap! Wham! Crunch! Pianist Jeremy Denk's climactic wind-milled passages cap this tour-de-force piece, which has big granite melodies, reminiscent of Ives, and surprising moments of lyricism. (Further explorations: Denk's "Ligeti/Beethoven," on Nonesuch. The pianist addresses Beethoven's Op. 111 and Ligeti's Etudes, making them transparent and fresh, playing with colors and sonorities, much like a jazz musician.)
10 Andras Schiff, "J.S. Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier, Books I and II" (ECM New Series): Schiff moves with astonishing clarity through Bach's solo keyboard works. It's like looking down into a bubbling stream, seeing all the crisscrossing rivulets and the tumbling stones at the bottom. (Alternately, try David Greilsammer's "Baroque Conversations," on Sony Classical. The Israeli pianist singingly performs Rameau, Handel, Gibbons and other Baroque masters. Then, worlds collide as he puts them into "conversations" with contemporary composers. One example: He segues from Couperin's elegance to Matan Porat's "Whaam!"

When the FDA launched an investigation last August into the safety of Metabolife, the nation's leading ephedra seller, bodybuilder Tom Ostrander said he'd continue using ephedra products and that people jump to conclusions when something goes wrong.
"I think people need to look at their diets and lifestyles instead of blaming a product. I've used it for 7 years and I've never had a problem," Tom Ostrander.
Now another FDA investigation is underway to find if there's a link between the popular weightloss supplement and the death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler. But even with that possibility, Tom uses the product especially when he's preparing for competition.
"The autopsy results haven't come back from that guy yet, so how do you know this is linked to ephedra? Is it possible, yeah, it's highly possible, but ephedra is just like everything else. If you use it in moderation, it's fine and safe. If you abuse it, of course it'll be dangerous," said Tom.
While the FDA has launched several investigations into the use of ephedra as a weightloss drug, they're zeroing in on the risk it could pose for athletes, which has some doctors anxious for answers.
"Healthy athletes can experience heat exhaustion, but a baseball player that's not in a high humidity environment and not an over-exerted exercise, shouldn't have a problem. It raises a red flag and you have to at least investigate that," Dr. Jeff Kovan, MSU Sports Medicine.
Dr. Kovan oversees the drug and alcohol testing program for MSU athletics, and says since there are so many unanswered questions about its safety, it's best for athletes and the public to be cautious, so as the debate continues, no one can claim they weren't warned.

VAIL - Dr. James G. Garrick learned all sorts of things treating skiers in Vail during the early 1960s.For example, he learned that most ski injuries were gawd-awful cuts skiers suffered. In those days, people tied their skis to their ankles with a leather strap. When they fell the ski would flail around and hit something - usually their head.And yet like tattoos, eight-track tapes and most political affiliations, those leather straps seemed like a good idea at the time.In 1962-63, Vail Associates sold around 55,000 lift tickets. That number matters because it was never clear that the new ski area would make it, and because Vail averaged about eight injuries for every 1,000 skiers - mostly lacerations. Stitches ensued.Technology has reduced the ticket-to-trauma ratio ten-fold - 0.8 injuries for every 1,000 skiers. Some of that technology started with Garrick's study in Vail.Hey doc ...Timing is everything, and when new doctor's residency starts in the summer, they have a few months to fill during the winter. That's how Garrick landed in the upstart ski area, in a clinic in the Red Lion."We were very fortunate to get some excellent doctors," said Dr. Tom Steinberg, Vail's first full-time physician.Vietnam veterans were high on the list. Dr. Jack Eck showed up that way. John Garrett came in 1972 when he was waiting for his residency. Bert Zarins spent some time in Vail. He now heads the sports medicine department at Massachusetts General. The list goes on and on.Garrick was a medical student at Sanford School of Medicine in South Dakota. He was completing his residency at the Mayo Clinic when a professor called him in - usually a bad sign, he said. He made Garrick an offer he couldn't refuse."If you would like to take three months off and run a medical facility in Vail, we'll approve it," the professor said.Garrick is a practical man. The Mayo Clinic paid residents $200 a month in those days, and he could make lots more than that in Vail - enough to get him through the next year.He started searching medical literature for information about treating ski injuries, but he learned there wasn't any."I had no idea what I was going to see," Garrick said in an article in the magazine "South Dakotan M.D."If he needed data, and he did, he'd be gathering his own. In Vail, Garrick launched the world's biggest study of ski injuries in the world up until that time.Garrick's team of interviewers buttonholed every 100th skier who entered five different ski resorts around the western U.S. Then, they questioned every skier injured, or at least those willing to talk.He got his data, reinforcing his hypothesis that having a ski strapped to your ankle as you fall down a mountainside in the snow is a design flaw.He also learned that high-end tourists can be a little testy."I don't think it brings out the best in people if you are paying a trillion dollars to ski in Vail and on the second day you break your leg," he said.He said he was a terrible skier, but the ski patrol took him skiing everywhere. They enjoyed his company, but they were also making sure he could get to any spot on the mountain in case anything happened to them.Changing everythingIn 1967, after Vail, Garrick was pressed into service as a doctor at an air base near Da Nang, Vietnam. He called his Vietnam service, "great," and launched another research study, documenting effective management of casualties. Garrick volunteered to extend his Vietnam tour to 15 months to complete it, because it was so important, he said.The ski injury research continued while he was in Vietnam. When he returned, he gathered the data and published an academic paper. Administrators at the University of Washington noticed it. They had already decided care for university athletes should be more scientific. The university's medical school created a sports medicine department and hired Garrick to direct it.He was among the first to stop putting people in casts, instead mobilizing people as quickly as possible after an injury - an athletic training idea and now common medical practice. Garrick said the head athletic trainer at the University of Washington shaped much of his thinking on treating sports injuries."He taught me more than anybody in my whole career," he said. "Trainers were miles ahead of doctors as far as practical management of athletic teams."Garrick didn't plan to pioneer a career in sports medicine, it just turned out that way. He founded the country's first academic sports medicine program and founded a clinic in San Francisco to treat sports injuries. He did research for the NFL Players Association, was the team physician for the U.S. Figure Skating Team and is an expert on dance injuries from working with the San Francisco Ballet.Much of the information for this story came from the magazine "South Dakotan M.D." It is used here with permission.Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection. It produces a widespread itchy rash and crusting. The varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox. The virus can spread from person to person via:
The virus is most contagious for 1-2 days before the rash erupts and during the first day or so after the rash has broken out. It remains contagious until all of the blisters have crusted.
Because of an extensive
program, the incidence of chickenpox has declined greatly in the United States. The majority of cases occur in infants, children, and adolescents under age 14. The incidence among adults 20 or older is very low. When contracted during childhood, chickenpox is usually not serious. Serious complications are more common when contracted by adolescents, adults, newborns, or people with a suppressed immune system. These complications can include:

What has changed in our society?
The world stood still on Dec. 14 as it witnessed the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The event has left the world community scratching its collective head, wondering ... why? What has changed over the last 50 to 75 years that would lead to the events in Newtown?
For days after the shootings, I monitored the worldwide comments on Facebook. All of them expressed sadness or anger. One post, however, caught my eye. It was posted by Carl Rosa, CEO of Main Street Waterbury, and it suggested actions to take in these coming weeks:

OAKLAND -- In a gesture of holiday giving, the Oakland A's players voted to donate one playoff share — a total of $34,325.16 -- to various local and national charities.
By virtue of capturing the 2012 American League West Division championship, the A's players earned shares from Major League Baseball's postseason revenues.
"During the playoff share meetings, we decided as a team that we wanted to give back to the community by donating one full share to various charities that are near and dear to our hearts," said A's pitcher Jerry Blevins, who doubles as the team's MLB Players Association representative.
The charitable donation will be split up between the MLB Players Trust, UMPS CARE, Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, Oakland A's Community Fund, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, United Way of the Bay Area, Donnie Moore Ministries and the "Strike 3 Foundation."
The A's finished 94-68 last season after making one of the most remarkable comebacks in Major League history. Oakland entered the final series of the season against Texas trailing the Rangers by two games and swept the three-game set to win the American League West Division and return to postseason play for the first time since 2006.

County dedicates new Athletics and Activity Center
Published: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 4:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 4:57 p.m.
Henderson County leaders and community members attended a dedication Thursday for the county's new Athletics and Activity Center.
The center is on the site of the old Hendersonville Christian School. The 11-acre property came with a 15,720-square-foot gymnasium, playing fields and a 12,084-square-foot building with space for offices, recreation spaces and community event rooms.
The center is planned to be used by the public for basketball, volleyball or sports camps, as well as activities such as aerobics, dance, karate and arts and music instruction.
In March, commissioners approved a $147,800 bid to begin remodeling the former school property. Dunlap Construction has since renovated the school's former classroom building and gymnasium, including restrooms and skylights.

So how is "Breaking Bad" going to end? Maybe not the way you think.
"Walt has a large reservoir of joy that he's going to spread over the last eight episodes," teased Emmy-winning actor Bryan Cranston on Friday. "I think everyone will be satisfied with the ending where we all hug it out."
Of course, nothing of the sort is going to happen when the hall-of-fame drama returns to AMC for its final run of episodes on Aug. 11. When we last left Cranston's Walter White, he was in a brutal downward spiral. Meanwhile, DEA agent Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) was finally onto his brother-in-law's drug-dealing ways.
Things clearly are about to get messy.
The "Breaking Bad" cast -- minus Norris -- convened here for their final panel session at the TV critics press tour and what essentially was a victory lap.
The actual ending of the dark and edgy series, described by Cranston as "unapologetic," was one that had creator Vince Gilligan highly stressed out before he nailed it.
"I'm very proud of the ending and can't wait for everyone to see it," Gilligan told reporters. "I'm cautious, though, and hope that I'm not wildly wrong. But I think most folks are going to dig the ending."
Gilligan reflected again on his original pitch for the show, in which he spoke of taking "Mr. Chips and turning him into Scarface." But has the journey Walt took from milquetoast chemistry teacher to ruthless and sinister drug lord feel legitimate? Cranston definitely thinks so.
"I truly believe everyone is capable of good and bad," he said. "Depending on your influences, your DNA, character, parenting and social environment, the best of you can come out and the worst can come out. Given the right circumstances, every one of us could be dangerous."
Gilligan revealed that a highly thorough, two-hour documentary will accompany the final season of "Breaking Bad" to DVD. In addition, fans will have a chance to dissect the final eight episodes via a new post-show program called "Talking Bad." It will be hosted by Chris Hardwick, who fills a similar role for AMC's "The Walking Dead."
And though "Breaking Bad" is about to be history, one character may live on. Gilligan is hopeful of doing a spin-off series tied to Saul Goodman, the shady lawyer played by Bob Odenkirk.

SAN JOSE -- The expected became official as Antti Niemi will start in goal for the Sharks when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan confirmed the decision -- which had finalized by the coaching staff some time ago -- to start Niemi over backup Alex Stalock on Thursday morning.
"Excited. It's going to be a great night tonight," Niemi said. "Playing against one of the top teams, it's going to be a hard, fast game."
Niemi had been somewhat inconsistent in recent weeks, going 3-2 over his past five starts. That included getting pulled in a 5-2 loss to Anaheim on April 9 that marked his poorest performance during that stretch. But he shined in a 2-1 victory over Los Angeles on April 3, stopping 26 of 27 shots, and also stopped 30 of 32 shots in San Jose's 3-2 win over Phoenix on Saturday in the team's regular season finale.
"I think it probably had to do with the history and with the time, it looked possible that we might face them," Niemi said of his last start against the Kings. "I enjoy playing against them."
In the three practice days since, the Sharks went over all situations in both the offensive and defensive zones, and Niemi said it felt good to get a bit of time off from games.
Niemi had a 39-17-7 this season with a 2.39 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. Alex Stalock had the better statistics, going 12-5-2 with a 1.87 goals against average and a .932 save percentage. In addition, his more aggressive style of play may have been well-suited to help offset the Kings aggressive forecheck. But he has not started an NHL playoff game before in his career.
Thursday will mark Niemi's 56th playoff start. He has a 32-23 record overall, and a 16-17 record in three seasons with the Sharks.
"He's our go-to guy. Simple as that," McLellan said of Niemi. "He has been our go-to guy for four years, he's our go-to guy in Game 1. I can tell you this, there wasn't near the amount of debate with the four of us in the coaches' room as there was with a whole bunch of you outside the coaches' room. But it was fun."

Golden Meadow man killed in bayou crash in Cocodrie
Published: Sunday, May 11, 2014 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 11, 2014 at 5:45 p.m.
A 29-year-old Golden Meadow man was found dead Sunday morning after crashing his pickup into Bayou Little Caillou in Cocodrie, police said.
Shawn Dardar's body was found in his submerged GMC Sierra, State Police Troop C said.
He had been driving south on La. 56 when his pickup veered off the road and struck a fence pole, police said. The truck then hit a concrete barrier protecting gasoline storage tanks and three support pilings at Boudreaux's Marina, 8250 La. 56, before it rolled into the bayou and sank.
The marina's owner called State Police shortly before 6 a.m. to report that a vehicle had damaged his property and that the gas tanks were leaking fuel. The tanks were sealed and the spilled fuel was cleaned up.
The Terrebonne Sheriff's Office Water Patrol found Dardar's submerged pickup.
Dardar was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner's Office. Toxicology reports are pending.

AG107: Absol-ute Disaster
this wiki
Absol-ute Disaster (アブソル!忍び寄るわざわいの影 Absol! Creeping Shadow Of Disaster!!) is the 15th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.
Episode Plot
The gang approaches a bridge. Everyone wants to cross it, so Pikachu comes first. However, the river is so powerful it destroyed the bridge and Pikachu falls down. Soon enough, Pikachu is seen to be hanging from the part of the bridge. Ash comes, but Pikachu swings and lands on his face. As he stands up, they see an Absol looking at him. The Pokédex identifies it as an "Disaster Pokémon", leaving the gang baffled if it was responsible for the destruction the bridge, as soon enough some men come to hurt it, but Absol goes up a near cliff. At the village they speak with two people, who say that when the Absol came from the mountain, the disaster soon followed the village - it is the third bridge that got destroyed.
Max cannot believe that Absol are responsible for the chaos, through the men think it is. They even hired some Absol hunters - they are Team Rocket in disguise. Team Rocket comes to calm everyone down, but they shut the door, saying that the plan is better than they anticipated. Meowth thinks if they captured Absol as well, the boss wouldn't be pleased as his day would be ruined. The man gather to wish good luck to the hunters. The hunters also would like to take the gang with them to get Pikachu... err, so they witness how Absol is being captured. A boy comes to protest. Nicky, the boy, is soon reminded that his brother Gordon went missing. Nicky runs away to find Absol and Gordon.
The gang goes with him, suspecting something might be wrong about this. The villagers think the hunters will have to go as well, but Team Rocket says they'll catch them along. Soon, they find themselves tired when walking on a slope. Ash asks why Gordon ran away, though Nicky says that Gordon did not run away. Gordon went to capture Absol and he returned, saying he found evidence that Absol aren't causing disasters, and then disappeared. The gang believes to what Nicky said and introduce themselves to him. Team Rocket arrives and they position themselves to be looking for Absol. Soon enough, they appear on a huge rock ball, saying that they followed a sign.
Max, Nicky and Pikachu come through a pass to Squaretop - a landmark. They yell for the others to come, though May, Ash and Brock have little clue how they ended up there already. Brock goes to rest, but when he touches a boulder, he fells water coming out from it. They spot that water comes through the rocks, even the ground. Soon, they spot Absol. Nicky believes Absol is not the one causing trouble, though soon the boulder where Team Rocket is on starts to move. Absol jumps and goes to them. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the ground to scare Absol. Max spots that the water is coming from the rock behind them and soon, the water becomes stronger, washing Max, Nicky and Pikachu away to a branch. Nicky is falling down, but Absol catches him in time. Afterwards, Max and Pikachu fall down as well, but Ash sends Swellow who catches Max. Soon, a Heracross catches Pikachu, too.
Nicky identifies the Heracross to be Gordon's, who arrives as well. Ash is grateful for saving his Pikachu. Gordon begins to tell his tale - he saw the Absol and sent Heracross, who attacked it. Absol dodged, but landed on edge and fell down, but Gordon took it using a rope. Absol soon departed away. Gordon learned that Absol are definitively not guilty of the destruction that followed the village and Absol do not come to humans, and, most importantly, they aren't aggressive - the only time they go to the villages if something is really important. Brock sees the water again - he asks Gordon if he took a look at the river. Gordon tells him that the river is much faster than before - Brock concludes that the water inside the rocks has spread out, and the pressure inside the rocks will make the water go out, flooding the village.
They realize that Absol wanted to warn them of the trouble. They hear the Absol hunters yelling for help. They go to help, but the water starts breaking out from the water, so they cannot help. They notice the Absol appeared, however, who uses Hyper Beam to block the water. It is not strong, so Gordon sends Heracross who uses Hidden Power to push the boulder. To help them out, Ash sends Corphish, Torkoal and Grovyle - they use BubbleBeam, Flamethrower and Bullet Seed. May sends her Pokémon as well - Skitty uses Blizzard, Beautifly uses Silver Wind, Combusken uses Fire Spin and Bulbasaur uses Petal Dance. Brock sends his as well - Ludicolo attacks with Bullet Seed and Mudkip with Water Gun. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt as well. The boulder is not moving, though Absol goes near to use the Hyper Beam. The boulder is pushed and the water is stopped - it split to two sides.
Gordon thanks Absol for the help. Team Rocket appears (without their disguises). Team Rocket goes to capture Pikachu, but Absol attacks them using Razor Wind, blasting them off. The villagers apologize for the rudeness and Nicky thanks Max for listening to him. Gordon thanks the others, as the village would be flooded without them. May spots Absol again - they also thank it, who goes away.
- The eyecatch/next episode preview was changed again to feature a Regirock's theme.
- Music from MS001: Pokémon The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back was used once again, similar to AG106: Beg, Burrow and Steal.
Nicky says that Square Top is the highest mountain on the island. However, when it's on screen, the mountains in the background must be higher according to the rules of perspective.

A Christmas lament
It was Christmas Eve, and even though the sales rush was over, the streets were filled with last-minute shoppers completing their final purchases. The young entrepreneur, a bookstore owner by trade, stood gazing through his shop's window at the Christmas shoppers pushing their way inside.
John was a proud man who had worked hard and succeeded where others failed. At 46, he had survived in a business in which most said he would fail — partly, at first, because no one thought he had the business savvy to succeed, and then because he chose a retail business that increasingly had shrunk with the onset of the Internet.

Statins May Work Better in Men Than in Women
June 25, 2012 -- Women with heart disease may not benefit as much as men with heart disease from taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, a new research analysis suggests.
The review of studies evaluating statins showed that there was a reduction in death in men but not in women. The study concludes that there is no benefit of statins on stroke and all causes of mortality in women.
However, like men, women who had previous cardiovascular disease such as a heart attack, angina, or stoke and took a statin had a lower risk for a second heart attack, so the drugs do have clear benefits for women with heart disease, researchers say.
Statins and Gender
The findings raise new questions about whether true differences exist between men and women in their response to cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Just one-fifth of the participants in the trials were women, and it could be that this was too small to show real benefits.
"I don't really think biological differences between the sexes make women less susceptible to the benefits of using statins," researcher Jose Gutierrez, MD, MPH, of Columbia University, tells WebMD. "But if we want a clear answer to this question it is critical that more women be included in clinical trials."
The analysis included 11 major studies involving more than 43,000 people.
The studies were designed to examine whether statin therapy lowers heart disease and stroke risk in people who have had a previous heart attack, stroke, or other heart-related event.
Fewer Deaths in Men Who Took Statins
Overall, statin use was associated with a similar reduction in recurrent heart attacks in men and women.
Among men, taking statins was associated with a decrease in strokes and death, but the difference was not seen in women.
The study appears in the June 25 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
In an accompanying editorial, Fiona Taylor, PhD, and Shah Ebrahim, DM, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, point out that earlier reviews have shown at-risk women to benefit as much as men from the drugs.
They contend that the researchers failed to include relevant studies that would have shown a clear survival benefit associated with statin use in women with heart disease.
"We suggest that statins work just as well in women as in men," they conclude.

A Wedding, a Photo Booth, and a Tale of Three Sisters
I'd also like to give a shout out to Indianapolis Tent and Awning for fabricating a dress large enough for me to wear to the wedding. Job well done guys. You could hardly even see the stake holes or the tie-downs.
One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the photo booth. I guess these are becoming more and more popular at such events, but this was my first opportunity to share in the fun.
I shall give no names, therefore no one is permanently damaged and can still move on to become the president of the United States or at the very minimum, a college football coach.
As we've gotten older and have quit fighting about clothes, makeup and other such trivialities, my sisters and I have become fairly diligent about having our photos taken together whenever we're all present at a family get together. Again, I'll name no names, but one's childhood dream was to be a Catholic nun, one wanted to become a migrant worker on a tomato picking machine so she could have a fantastic tan (including tan teeth(?) and the final sister was nearly certain she was a shoe-in to be the Breck shampoo girl in the television commercials. Although not one of us reached our goals, we all became successful in our careers as circus clowns.
I'm only posting this last photo to show you how well-preserved we will be in the future (notice the date stamp?) except for sister #3 who appears to have lost both of her eyes.
