Fan-filmed video footage of the Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA performing last night (Saturday, April 5) at the Nokia Theater in New York City can be viewed below (courtesy of "celticyodels").EPICA is utilizing the services of singer-songwriter and vocal coach Amanda Somerville as the stand-in vocalist for the band's North American tour with SYMPHONY X after the group's regular singer, Simone Simons, was infected with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), also known as the hospital bacteria. A Michigan native, Amanda has resided and worked mainly in Germany and the Netherlands since 1999. She has collaborated with several bands in the metal scene (EDGUY, AFTER FOREVER, EPICA, KAMELOT, etc.) along with producers Sascha Paeth and Miro, and co-wrote the rock opera "Aina". Her own music is of the pop-rock genre and she is currently focusing on her solo career. Amanda previously stated about her stint at the EPICA stand-in vocalist, "It's important to me that you know that is in no way the band's nor my intention to replace Simone. She is one of a kind, invaluable to EPICA and indeed their frontwoman and the face of the band. I assure you that I will do my very best to do justice to the performance you have come to expect from EPICA and give it my all. Since I co-wrote many of the songs and was Simone's vocal coach during the recordings of the albums, I feel as comfortable performing the songs as if they were my own." Simone Simons stated about her temporary replacement, "We chose Amanda because she is already familiar to the EPICA fans. You can hear her on all our albums, singing backing vocals, on 'Seif al Din' and the 'Obsessive Devotion' you can hear her speak, she is singing in the EPICA choir and she was my vocal coach for all the albums. We are happy that she is willing to fill in for me since she is already part of the band in a way. Amanda has a great voice and a wonderful presence. I am sure you will love her long blond hair. She will do a good job and I wish her and EPICA good luck for this tour." EPICA performing "Sensorium" in New York City April 5, 2008:

State police recovered more items from the Kennebec River in Waterville as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Ayla Reynolds.
That is the same area that items were recovered from three weeks ago.
The items were found in the area of Hathaway Mill.
Water was drained in the area before the search. Five state police divers and two detectives participated in the effort.
The items will be sent to the state crime lab.
No new information was available about the items recovered from the river three weeks ago.
State police spokesman Steve McCausland would not say how many items were recovered and how they might be related to the Ayla Reynolds case.
Ayla was reported missing from her father's home last December.

1994-1997 Ford Probe, Mazda MX3 with 4 cyl. & A/T 1994-2000 Mazda 626 with 4 cyl. & A/T 1998-2000 Mazda 626 with 6 cyl. & A/T 1995-2000 Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique with 6 cyl. & A/T 1999-2001 Mercury Cougar with A/T SUBJECT Vehicles with the Ford CD4E automatic transmission. CONDITION The driver's side front CV axle has a 6-½ inch male inboard stub that fits into the transmission's side gear. On the stub next to the housing seal surface is a carrier support surface that fits into the final drive sun gear inside the transmission (see figure 1). This sprocket assembly is chain driven with the reverse/overdrive sprocket by the planetary gear sets (see figure 2). The final drive sprocket assembly rides on the axle stub carrier support surface using a pressed, center bored bushing. This bushing wears the carrier support surface causing damage to the axle and eventually the transmission. SOLUTION If the carrier support surface of the axle being replaced appears rough and worn, then several possible failures need to be checked before replacing the axle or premature failure of the axle or possible damage to the transmission could occur. If the transmission's internal oiling solenoid that lubricates this bushing fails, then the 2nd and 3rd gearshifts will not function. Although the Aftermarket lists this bushing, no tool exists to replace it. Ford only offer the bushing in a complete sprocket assembly making its replacement a very costly repair. The most common contributor to premature wear of this bushing is the vehicle not being within proper alignment specs. Without a four-wheel alignment, even though the front wheels may be centered to the rack, the rear thrust is pushing the front wheels causing stress on the front CV joints. The thrust forces acting on the front wheels while driving changes ALL the alignment specs resulting in the front wheels being in a constant turning action. This will wear the side gears and transmission seals as well as stressing this bushing. Another possible sign that alignment is affecting these items is a worn or torn inboard boot. Do not forget that worn motor mounts will also affect alignment thrust forces.

Ok, with my heart and soul I will help and protect this child, just as I tried to do for Whitney. So with that said, one thing I knew that Krissi would need after Whitney's death was a safe place to grieve. So when she told me she wanted to act I said I would help. If she had said she wanted to be a doctor I would have tried to help her get into the best schools. But because she said acting, that was easy for me. I thought, "this is great". This way I could have her on the show, while at the same time be there for her and help her walk through this grief. So I wrote her into For Better Or Worse, which airs tonight on TBS. Now I wrote a very small part because I wasn't sure if she could act. She had never done it before. So needless to say I was a little cautious, but BOY WAS I WRONG! Krissi was so good in that small part that I went back and wrote major scenes for her and even one entire show around her character. I'm so proud of this kid. You have no idea. SO PROUD OF HER! I know Whitney is smiling down on her baby girl.
Here's what I'd like you to help me with if you don't mind. It is one of my heart's desires to see Krissi happy and joyous and moving through the pain of this tragedy. I know that the news media has moved on but the pain is still very real to her. What I also know is that every little bit of sunshine can help her move through. Trust me, I know. You helped me move through the grief of my mother's death. So if you will, after you watch Krissi's performance on For Better Or Worse tonight on TBS, please post a comment on my message board letting her know what you thought.
She's been through hell and to see her smile melts my heart. So I know if she reads your comments she will be even more inspired. And you better believe she'll be watching and reading...lol. You know how these teenagers are with the internet.
Lastly, if you will whisper a prayer for her and the Houston family I know that they would appreciate it. Most of you have no idea what it's like to lose a mother, especially at 19. I'm 42 and it still brings me to my knees at times.
Be well, God bless and I'll be reading tonight.
Love ya,

Dr. Kelly Henrickson is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, a Professor of Pediatrics and Microbiology, and the Director of the Midwest Respiratory Virus Program (MRVP) at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He is in charge of the molecular diagnostic laboratory at the MRVP, where he and his colleagues develop clinical diagnostic tests for respiratory viruses like influenza. It was here that Dr. Henrickson's team developed a specific test that could not only diagnose influenza, but unlike other diagnostics, could also identify the type and subtype of the virus. This new test was in a late stage of development when the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak began in late April, and was quickly put to use at exactly the right time.
We spoke with Dr. Henrickson about his work and about the role his lab played in responding to the Milwaukee area's 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
Answer: I've been focusing on molecular diagnostic research for most of my medical career. I started out at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, followed by fellowships in Molecular Virology and Clinical Infectious Disease at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. After training in Pediatrics at Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester New York, I started my professorship at the Medical College of Wisconsin. I also began working in a basic science lab, first studying paramyxoviruses then moving on to molecular diagnostic research at the MRVP.
A: My lab was in contact with our Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) right away when we heard about the influenza outbreak. We knew there were many cases of this novel influenza virus circulating in the population and we had the capacity to help with diagnosis. The WSLH's protocol to diagnose probable cases of H1N1 was to send the patients' respiratory samples to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta and then wait about 10 days for results. But we had a fast and accurate test that was close to home, so we knew we could help with this process. The WSLH worked very quickly to validate our diagnostic assay and then announced that it was approved with 100% correlation with the CDC assays. By getting started so quickly, we diagnosed the first case of H1N1 in Milwaukee County and have reported about 44% of all pandemic H1N1 cases in Wisconsin since then.
A: My lab has developed a number of diagnostic assays with funding from both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC). However, this test is different from other tests because it is a broad multiplex assay, or a test that can identify both an influenza virus itself, and also identify the type of influenza virus. Most tests can distinguish influenza viruses from other types of viruses, and differentiate between Type A and Type B influenza. Our assay was also able to tell the difference between human and animal viruses, and was able to tell that the neuraminidase (the 'N' part of H1N1) was of swine origin, therefore differentiating this virus from other strains of influenza that circulate seasonally and are of human origin. This is important because different types of influenza need to be treated differently; some may need different antiviral medications. It's important to know what type of virus you're dealing with before deciding the best way to care for the patient.
A: My first reaction was a sense of urgency to help the community. I knew we had the equipment and the knowledge to help the state of Wisconsin quickly determine whether this was a novel virus. For the first five weeks of the outbreak, we subtyped many samples at no charge to the patient because we knew how critical it was to assist in any way that we could. Subtyping was really important because there was also a human-origin influenza circulating in the population at the same time as this swine-origin virus, and these two different strains needed to be treated differently. I didn't worry about how big or small the outbreak was, I tried to focus on the role my lab could play in order to be the most beneficial for the state of Wisconsin and the country.
A: I think we learned a major lesson in preparedness. Luckily, our diagnostic assay was ready to detect this H1N1 strain so we were almost immediately prepared to offer our services. Although a lot of good fortune was involved in the timing, the NIH also had the foresight to voice the need for a multiplex assay that could subtype many different strains of influenza. In situations like this H1N1 outbreak, it is easy to see why preparedness is so vital in the field of public health.
Our story also shows how forward-thinking the NIH has to be in order to really make a difference in science and medicine. Although it is not always obvious as to how certain research topics are relevant at the time, it is important to think about the future and try to plan for the unexpected outbreaks like this one.
A: Before the outbreak, we were working on creating a test that could diagnose animal influenza, which many people thought was an irrelevant activity. Then, when the outbreak started, we were suddenly in a different role – one of a major contributor to the public health response.
Part of creating a diagnostic test is to assess the ability of that test to perform, and there is no better way than to test a diagnostic assay under fire! We were able to continue our research goals by showing just how well this test could work in a real outbreak situation, so although our work was shifted into a higher gear, we were able to stay on track. This has been a very hectic time, but it has been a very positive and productive experience because we were able to combine our research with helping the community.
A: Yes, definitely. Our Midwest Respiratory Virus Program has its own clinical lab and we have established a relationship with the local hospitals over the last year. Collaboration between our lab and the children's hospital, adult hospital, and a few other laboratories allowed us to diagnose 2009 H1N1 cases quickly and efficiently. Our lab's relationship with the hospitals has been strengthened by this experience, so hopefully we will be even more prepared next time. This was a positive experience and if the state laboratories need my lab again, I will definitely be here to help.
A: We have about 2500 clinical samples of the virus, which is probably one of the largest collections in the world. There will be a lot of useful information that we can gather from these isolates, so we have a number of studies in progress. We recently published three papers that chronicle the first five weeks of the H1N1 outbreak in Milwaukee and also describe some of the assays we developed and used. We are also studying the pathogenesis of the disease and continue to investigate the genomics of the H1N1 virus. There are quite a few questions we're asking in our research, and hopefully the answers will increase our understanding of this influenza strain. In turn, we hope the information that comes out of our studies will help the public health community plan for other outbreaks and pandemics, and help to better prevent and treat the disease.

Very new to Biking, got a Mountain Bike long time ago and only rode it four times if so much. I am looking to get into this sport for fun and exercise, are there any tip for me,, what should i expect where should i go for first ride any advice?
Not sure how much response you have gotten, but I have just started a Colorado focussed blog and we discuss Mountain Biking. Here is a link to an article on our blog about improving your Mountain Biking skills.
We'd love to hear more about what other things you'd like to see.
Hope that helps.
Best advice of all...just get out and ride
I'd visit your local bike shop and ask what trails they ride. Ask them about non-technical trails that are well marked. If there aren't published trail maps, then get directions to the trail and take another rider with you so you can explore it together. Do something short, and if you go alone tell someone where you're going and bring your cell phone. Good luck.<!

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team will head back on the road this weekend to compete in the Rice Invitational I at Rice University. The Islanders will face Rice on Friday, Sept. 6, at 6:30 p.m. before facing LSU and UALR on Saturday, Sept. 7, at Tudor Fieldhouse.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi comes into Friday's match with a 1-2 record after suffering two tough losses to UC Irvine and Denver last weekend in the Pioneer Classic. In the final match of the classic the Islanders bounced back to take a 3-1 victory over Air Force.
Senior Logen Bourque led the way for the Islanders with 109 assists and was named all-tournament. She recorded her first double-double of the season with 31 assists and 10 digs against Denver and followed it with a season-high 43 assists in the Islanders' victory over Air Force.
Sophomore Ivy Baresh also had a solid weekend with 32 kills and a team-high 39 digs. She opened the season with a double-double with 13 kills and 12 digs vs. UC Irvine and followed it with seven kills and five digs against Denver. In the final game of the classic, the outside hitter registered her second double-double of the season with 12 kills and a career-high 22 digs in the Islanders' victory over Air Force.
Rice holds a 0-3 record after falling to Fresno State, Cal State Northridge and Santa Clara in the Bulldog Invitational in Fresno, Calif. last weekend. Megan Murphy leads the Owls' offense after hitting .462 with 21 kills and collecting 122 assists over the weekend. Friday's match will mark the second time in school history the Islanders and Owls will meet up and second time in Houston. The two teams met up in 2007 at Rice with the Owls capturing a 3-0 victory.
LSU (3-0) opens the invitational on Friday against UALR before facing the Islanders at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The Tigers topped UTSA, UC David and San Diego State last weekend at home in the Tiger Classic. Cati Leak hit .341 and tallied 64 kills and 40 digs. Malorie Pardo runs the Tiger's offense with 12 assists per set. Saturday's match will mark the second meeting between the two schools with the Tigers holding a 0-1 advantage. LSU sealed a 3-0 victory in 2007.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will wrap the invitational against UALR on Saturday at 5 p.m. UALR enters competition with a 1-2 record after dropping matches to Southeast Missouri State and Mississippi State in the Maroon Classic in Starkville, Miss. The Trojans concluded the classic with a 3-1 victory over Mississippi State. Edina Begic hit .250 for the weekend and led the team with 55 kills and 42 digs. Marleen de Zoete collected 142 assists and is averaging 11.83 assists per set. Saturday's match will mark the third time the Islanders and Trojans have faced each other. The series is tied at 1-1. Islanders took a 3-2 victory in 2010 at the Mississippi State Maroon Classic while UALR took the first match, 3-0, in 2008 at the Holiday Inn Emerald Beach Islander Invitational.

Start Date: Oct 01, 2009
End Date: Sep 08, 2014
As part of this initiative, novel technologies which utilize the photon (light), thermal signatures (heat), spectroscopy and fluorescence will be adapted to cellular- and molecular-based strategies to permit physiological processes to be monitored in a dynamic fashion at the levels of single, living cells to entire organisms in vivo. These non-invasive technologies (e.g., biophotonics, using light as a quantitative indicator beacon ofmolecular events) will enable the expression of genes, the invasiveness of bacteria, the breakdown of plant or dietary components, or hormone-receptor interactions to be visualized in living systems both in the laboratory and field, and under traditional livestock production environments. Faculty with expertise in functional imaging will interface with collaborating scientists working in the animal, plant and veterinary sciences to develop these novel systems aimed at addressing specific hypothesis-driven and production-based questions. Results from this initiative will not only develop new models to advance scientific progress in reproductive biology, food safety, disease, plant-animal interactions, and environmental physiology, but will also develop technological advancements that will address experimentally critical questions which heretofore have not been addressable in living systems. Finally, we will expand the use of biophotonic-based technologies to address physiological questions in animals with potential application to field-based monitoring systems.

Hi I'm Josh and I am new
I have always been a semi-athletic person but never a big runner. Play softball at work (not very strenuous) and lifted on and off for the last 8 years (26yo). Recently, I decided to start running with a friend. She runs a few halves and one full marathon a year. On a whim I bought a pair of Brooks one day. I did NOT get fitted for them. I saw the Couch to 5k thing and thought I would start there. 2 weeks into it I started to have some pain. It was not shin splints but a tightness just above the outside of my legs, above the ankle. It was almost disabling. I could barely walk if I continued for too long on it. I took a few weeks off. I was only completing about 2 miles a day. I go up to visit my friend who happened to have a long run on that Saturday. I was bored so I decided to run as well. I managed about 4 miles and I was really hurting at the end. Same thing. I decided that I would wait on the running thing and go to a specialty shop she goes to (Run-in) to get fitted. According to them, I overpronate. So they make me try on a few shoes and they tell me which pair I should get. WOW, huge difference. The same day I bought them I managed 8 miles total. I was a bit sore the next day but nothing abnormal to a workout. That was 4 days ago. I start my normal routine back today, shooting for 3 miles. I get about half way through one and that same pain, only on the left side, is back again. I do not understand. I am wearing the same shoes that were so much better. The only thing different is, I walked about 1.5-2 miles in the "other shoes" a few days before because they are much more casual and even noticed a tiny bit of discomfort then. Are those shoes that bad? Should I just rest a few more days and stay the hell away from those shoes?
TL;DR: I wore shoes that were a poor fit for my stride type, just for walking for a few miles, can that still cause discomfort a few days later in the right pair of shoes after a half mile?
Thanks for this. I am starting to run, just on a treadmill, and I have I think maybe the same issue. After running for only about 5-10 minutes on the treadmill the muscles close to my ankle get extremely tight and sore, expecially on the front of my leg right above my ankle. They get so tight that I end up running almost flat footed because I can't bend my ankle anymore.
After the run I have to spend some serious time slowly, and painfully, stretching out by bending my foot to the extremes down and up.
Does this sound like the same issue you had?
I thought maybe it might have something to do with the way I run or the fact that I am a bit overweight, but never considered it was my shoes. I never got any special shoes for running, so maybe I should try to find a place that can fit me like you say.
Becareful not to injure yourself it's better to take it slow than to be sorry. Give your body time to rest if you are hurting and eat well, feed it good nutrition and take care!
For me its on the outside of my leg, right above the ankle and its mainly my left although the right has hurt before. What blows my mind is that during and after 8 miles. . .it was fine. I rest for 4 days and start again last night and it kills me to do half a mile.
Well, walking isn't running and doesn't stress the legs quite the same way. Still, it's possible the walk may have had an effect. One thing to check is your stride and footplant. Make sure you're not overstriding - reaching out with your foot and planting it well in front of your body. You should be planting under your hips and your knee should be flexed. Shorten your stride as needed. Here's a good video that illustrates these points (as well as some others that may or may not be of interest). Yes, he's running barefoot, but the principles apply to running with shoes as well.
I too recently decided to get back into running. I did go get fitted for shoes and was doing a Couch to 5K training schedule. I guess I didn't really heed the rest days though. I thought I was doing good by just continuously training...WRONG. I started having pain in my hips but just "powered through" Worst decision ever. I have ended up with severe hip flexor tendonitis and now can hardly walk! My only advice is listen to your body and REST. You don't hurt for no reason. And if you don't you will end up not being able to train at all and it will drive you crazy. Trust me, I am speaking from experience. Good luck!
First - 8 miles is a long run. Especially for a new runner with no base. It is highly likely that you stressed something out that manifested itself after the run. Lots of tendons and muscles to tighten up after that kind of activity. My guess is you did no stretching, rolling or other activity to help recover. While it's possible it's the shoes, much more likely that it's your mechanics and fitness.
Here is my non expert story of what I learned on my 3+ year journey into becoming a late life runner.
1) My first year I suffered from about 5 different running ailments from IT Band syndrome, to patella tendonitis, to a swollen bursa, to lower back pain. I'm naturally competitive so when I decided to start running I "went for it". What I didn't realize is that I needed to SLOW DOWN to start going faster. Becoming a runner is a journey not a sprint.
2) It wasn't the shoes. I tried all sorts of shoes, inserts, saw an orthopedist. It must be something wrong with me biomechanically that the shoe would fix and the pain would stop. NOPE. Eventually I went to a running specialist who videotaped me on a treadmill and showed me my form. It was a disaster. It wasn't my shoes. It was me. I'm an overpronator with a high arch and I now run in a minimalist shoe with great comfort. I ended up being lucky enough to attend a Chi Running seminar. It transformed my running style. I'm not saying it's for everyone but the basic principles really helped me. I had an overly long stride and slow turnover with heal striking. BONK.
3) Fitness. I was a little overweight but always a "fit" guy. General fitness had little to do with what was causing my aches and pains. As I started adding mileage it was my small muscles that were totally out of sync. The small balance and strength muscles in your ankles, your hip flexors, some off the smaller muscles in your butt, your core. All of these little things not being in tune force your big muscles to overcompensate and almost always this lead to stress and injury.
So I slowed down, spent time doing some very basic core and lower body exercises with bands. Didn't need to join a gym to do any of this. I worked that into my plan along with some dynamic stretching. Then I put a race on the calendar 4 months out combined with a very simple training plan and stuck to it like clockwork. (or as much as my job allowed). By the end of my second year running, things were really coming much easier and there was very little in the form of problems and I completed my first half marathon. After that I set another big goal and a year later did my first marathon in less than 4 hours. Pain free and feeling great.
Stick with it, enjoy the journey and it will come.
I'm in the exact same boat. I started training for my first half beginning last Oct/Nov for a half marthaon that is scheduled for Mar. 17th and the training was going well until about 3 weeks ago. I've been steadily increasing miles running about 20 miles a week and purchased a new pair of shoes about 4 weeks ago in hopes of breaking them in to avoid discomfort for the half marathon. I now have significant pain on my inside left ankle which I believe maybe a combination of the new shoes and pronating inward a bit on my left foot. I've mostly been training on a treadmill this winter and my right foot feels great but my left feels like I'm over my arch too much. The painful area is maybe 2" along my shin but doesn't feel like a shin splint. It feels more like I got hit with a baseball but it's not bruised. I'd put it at a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.
My training schedule's been thrown off by this. I did a 6 mile run two weekends ago and had to rest up the full week afterwards. I tried to get a 9 mile run in last weekend but only made it about 3 miles before deciding not to risk injury. I'm heading back to the running store where I got the shoes tomorrow morning to see what they have to say. I also purchased a cheapo Dr. Scholls arch support but that hasn't solved the problem. At this point, until I'm mended, I don't see how the half on the 17th is going to come about but hope to mend and get back into it for another half marathon soon. I'll let you know what I find out.

'Glee,' Season 4, Episode 10, 'Glee, Actually': TV Recap
Welcome to Glee's Christmas episode, which is a tribute to "Love, Actually" (love that movie!) and "It's A Wonderful Life." So seemingly "separate" story lines will all come together! (Hopefully it's done better than Lea Michele's movie "New Year's Eve" which was also supposed to be a take on "Love, Actually"). Note – this episode does not move forward with any other storyline). Meanwhile Artie is George Bailey from "It's A Wonderful Life" with Rory (remember him?) as his guardian angel showing him what life would have been like if he wasn't in a wheel chair. And of course, we get the much anticipated ice-skating scene between Kurt and Blaine! Let's begin.
Dear Journal, Sue writes. "That magical season where 5 seemingly separate story lines are cleverly sandwiched between commercial breaks and then are tied together at the end like a beautiful bow. Like that movie Love, Actually, that I don't think anyone really cares for, yet it's constantly on cable." Ha.
Story 1: Artie is having a bad day, his wheel chair flipped over because of ice. He's tired of being in his chair and being pitied. Finn helps him to the nurse's office, where Artie wishes he was never in that dumb chair and drifts off (if this is a concussion, this is bad. If he's just tired, well, OK then). And cue "It's A Wonderful Life." Artie can walk! Tina still stutters (wow, I forgot she used to stutter!). Rory tells Artie that Tina never stopped stuttering because Artie and her never became friends. Rory is Artie's Christmas angel and therefore granted his wish: the car accident never happened. We see Becky — who's pregnant — because Artie never became friends with her and showed her that she deserves some self respect. Ouch. Then there's Kurt being thrown into a bunch of lockers by Finn, Mike Chang, Ryder, Artie and Puck. They call him Little Lord Gay Boy. Artie points out that they all sang Lady Gaga songs and Puck threatens to break his legs. Kurt didn't graduate because he couldn't take the bullying more than twice a week, so he got left back a year. And he doesn't know who Blaine is!
Mr. Schue is drinking in the Spanish room, there is no Glee Club, Terry waltzes in (with a doll she pretends is a baby) and demands his paycheck before he blows it on booze and flannel shirts. They also live in moldy apartment. Ms. Pilsbury is in Hawaii with her husband Coach Tenaka. Artie walks into the library and sees Rachel — who is not at NYADA and not even the lead in the Music Man! She's just in the chorus. According to Rory, everything is different because Artie wasn't in a wheel chair, he was too busy playing football, so he never joined. Artie was the glue that held Glee Club together.
Over in the alternate universe choir room, the choir room is Sue's craft room, Artie gets everyone together and sings "Feliz Navidad" complete with dancing and moving. Nobody is into it and everyone is kind of freaked out. Schue walks by, but then walks away. Artie has definitely been under used this season and I liked hearing him sing and seeing him move. However, Finn tells him "That was so gay." Rachel looks forlorn, and Artie's plan failed.
Oh and Quinn isn't able to walk – because there was no supportive Artie and no supportive Glee Club, she never walked again. (Even though there was no Finchel wedding, Rory points out Quinn texts and drives in every time line). Wait, – actually, she died. She died of a broken heart. Her spirit and her body never recovered. So her wheel chair hangs out in the hallway — empty, with a rose on it. Jeez, well this has taken a dark and kind of odd turn, no? But Artie sits in the wheel chair and from the real world, Finn wakes him up to tell him his mom came to pick him up. Because of his dream Artie realizes the chair is part of him and has made him who he is.
Story 2: In New York City, Rachel is packing for Lima but Kurt isn't going. His family is going out of town and Blaine understands that Kurt has to save his money for NYADA. But wait! Burt is here! With a tree! That is an impressive tree. Ha, no it's not. It's tiny, but cute. Burt also came equipped with all Kurt's favorite ornaments. And a gift for Rachel and Kurt, a sparkly apple ornament for their first NY holiday together. Kurt takes his dad into Manhattan and they walk right by my office. Over hot chocolate, Burt tells Kurt that has prostate cancer. But it's local stage, no spreading and the cure rate is 100%. Burt is not really worried about this at all, whereas Kurt is scared when he finally reaches his destiny, his dad won't be around to see it. Burt promises he will be and tells Kurt that he's stared death in the eye 3 times and he's learned that you have to hold the people in your heart close to you no matter what. Back in Bushwick, Kurt fawns over Burt but Burt wants to remember their Christmas traditions, like pretending to watch basketball together (Burt watches, Kurt secretly reads Vogue) and the exchanging of gifts. Kurt got Burt a NYADA hat and shirt. Burt got Kurt something to big to put under a tree, so he has to pick it up at Bryant Park's skating rink. OMG, its Blaine! Blaine is quite happy to be there and to make sure they don't miss out on their holiday tradition: Christmas duet. Kurt is either shell-shocked from all the news/surprises of the night, or really doesn't want to see Blaine. Nevertheless, they skate and sing "White Christmas." Blaine's voice was made for this song. And Kurt and Blaine duets are always great. There are some fancy skaters here in Bryant Park! They add a nice touch to it. Afterwards, at midnight (Christmas), Blaine tells Kurt that they'll always be there for each other, no matter what, even if they aren't together. Burt looks on.
Story 3: Back at high school, Jake loses it after some more kids make fun of him (Kwanakah), but Puck's here and jumps in to stop the fight. Puck is doing "research" for his screenplay and asks Jake to sit in the sidecar of his motorcycle all the way to Hollywood. He takes him to a movie lot and tells him that if you're in Hollywood and you're a Jew or a gay, you've basically got it made. Puck's idea of networking is breaking out into a duet of "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah." Which is kind of weird, but hey, no big deal. Cut to Puck's rental, which is awesome and amazing. Ha, wait, he is only pretending to live here – it's actually Mrs. Cross's house, who was supposed to be in Hawaii, but came back early. Oops. They get kicked off the property. Turns out Puck is lonely and it's a mess out there (he also lives in the Valley and can't put together his Ikea furniture). He just wanted some company. Jake suggests they return to Lima, go to Breadsticks for dinner with their respective moms. Jake's mom is played by Aisha Tyler. The dad cheated on Puck's mom with Jake's mom — Jake's mom says she didn't know he was married. The boys remind them that instead of hating on each other, they should remember that the dad ran out on them all, and they are family. Merry Hanukkah.
Story 4: Brittany is handing out Rolex's and 3-week vacations to St. Tropez and cars. Brittany watched a documentary about the Mayan Apocalypse and decided to cash in her savings so her and her friends can enjoy the rest of their lives. Brittany has some savings account. Her and Sam form a Mayan Apocalypse Club so they can tell everyone what they really think of them. She tells Tina her dream of acting is just that – a dream, and it's foolish to pursue it. She doesn't have any opinion on Joe and thinks Marley is delightful. Obviously Ryder, Puck, Marley, Joe and Tina walk out. Good thing Brittany and Sam have each other. So he sings her "Jingle Bell Rock" (n the library) complete with Cheerio back-up dancers. Cute, I suppose. Necessary? Probably not. But Brittany loves it, and then bam! Sam: "Brittany, before the world ends will you marry me?"
Coach Beiste went on a Mayan church website and got ordained and therefor marries Sam and Brittany. Sam: Brittany, I always thought you were super hot and really smart but what I didn't know was that you were going to end up being my soul mate. Who knows what the future holds for us, probably tsunamis and horrible sea monsters, but now I'm not worried about that because I have you. Brittany: Sam, when you first joined the Glee Club I didn't notice for a while. It wasn't until you did a Rich Little impression and told me it was a Rich Little impression and then explained who Rich Little was that I knew you were special. I can't tell you how excited I am to become your Mayan star wife. They kiss (under a mistletoe). It's December 18th – 3 days until the end…
4 days later it's December 22; They realize they've survived the Mayan Apocalypse…and they're also married. Oops.
Story 5: In the teachers' cafeteria, it's the faculty staff Secret Santa (which Beiste tells Sue without swallowing her food first). Sue gets Millie Rose (Marley's mom). Over in her office, Sue gives Becky a sweater (from Benetton), but Becky throws it on the ground with all the other presents Sue gave her. Epic Fail! Becky wants something she doesn't already have! "Like what?" Sue asks (fairly nicely for her too). Becky wants a hot date or a snow mobile. Sue (meanly) says she has to figure out what to get the woman who pushed out a ravishing, golden-throated raven haired beauty out of her gaping loins. "What do you get the woman who has eaten everything?" As she walks by the cafeteria, Sue secretly sees Marley's mom tell her that there's no presents this year because all the extra money has to go to a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. (Finally the bulimia issue is addressed!). Marley admits she has a problem and wants to get better. They don't even have money for a $50 tree, especially since each session is $200. She's not going to waste a penny of the money she doesn't have until Marley realizes how beautiful she is. Marley's mom asks for a song instead and Marley complies with "The First Noel."
Over in the old choir room, new Sue de Soleil room, Sue tells Becky that she feels horrible and knows she's become selfish and spoiled and incredibly out of touch. She cut down a 7,000 tree to hang ornaments on. Sue sells the tree and gives the proceeds to something that matters.
On Christmas Eve: Sue jimmies open the door to the Rose's house and delivers a Christmas tree, presents and a stocking full of $800. (And Marley loves the Benetton sweater). Sue and Becky look on through the window.
Back over at Breadsticks, Jake's mom and Puck's mom are bonding over their war stories over the dad. Puck also decides to move back home (you can write anywhere and his pool-cleaning clients in Lima will take him back). Plus, Puck has to watch over Jake and their moms.
Beiste tells Sam and Brittany they aren't really married because there aren't really any Mayan church websites. The Mayans were wiped out 500 years ago by Conquistadors and small pox (chicken pox, but smaller). Beiste decided to intervene so Sam and Brittany didn't do something they regretted so young. Both Sam and Brittany are so bummed that Beiste pretends to get a google alert that Indiana Jones found a new Mayan calendar and the new end of the world date is Sept. 27, 2014. "That gives us 2 whole years of giving love and brutal honesty to everyone we know!" Brit says.
In NYC, Blaine and Burt are watching the Celtics game and Kurt watched for 20 seconds before reading Vogue. Burt wins the bet! Blaine also asks Kurt if it's ok if he applies to NYADA – "That'd be great" Kurt musters with no discernable enthusiasm.
Mrs. Rose goes over to McKinley High to thank Sue (who is in her office and not home with her baby?). Sue has no idea what she's talking about, but Mrs. Rose bribed Becky with candy so knows the truth. She tries to give Sue back her money, but Sue says they both know how hard it is to be a single mom, so take the money and make sure Marley gets better. And side-step out of her office. Mrs. Rose asks Sue to come with her so Marley (and the Glee Club) can thank Sue. Sue pretends she doesn't want to go (but she does). (most of) The Glee Club, plus Finn (gathered by Artie — the glue) are dressed in white and break out "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" along with Puck and Jake/Sam and Brittany (from Breadsticks) and Kurt and Blaine from Bushwick. (I still don't think Kurt is truly happy that Blaine is there. Blaine keeps looking for reassurance and Kurt is rather skittish. But their little Christmas dinner is cute).
Merry Christmas!
(This January Glee returns with a half naked Sam, Kitty making fun of Puck, and Rachel doing a topless scene). See you then.

SUN RA - PHIL NIBLOCK: The Magic Sun
In the mid '60s (that's all the information we get) Phil Niblock made this experimental film with the Arkestra, very close-up and all in negative - leaving interesting mostly abstract shapes flickering and shifting. The music by the New York Sun Ra Arkestra of the time (now in 5.1 surround) is great, classic mid 60's Ra. In addition there is a gallery of phots accompanied by four short pieces by Le Sonny: a statement - about life, music, his destiny, and three poems from the Immeasurable equation, accompanied by Ra on electric piano. About 40 minutes total.

In Tuesday's Western Slope Conference bout with Eagle Valley, Summit High's boys' basketball team lost, 42-29.
Markeith McDonald led the team in scoring with 10 points and eight rebounds.
"It was a close game the whole night," head coach Phil Tronsrue said of his team that's now 2-11 overall and 2-7 in league. Summit was down two points at the end of the first quarter before the gap widened to a seven-point deficit at halftime. Eagle Valley's lead dropped to three by the end of the third quarter, but then a series of turnovers, missed shots and missed free throws put Summit at the 12-point deficit from which it never recovered. A few last-minute three-point attempts weren't successful as a last-ditch effort to overcome the Devils, who are 10-2 overall and 6-1 Slope.
Tonight, the team plays at Glenwood Springs (3-8 overall, 2-4 Slope).
In Tuesday's 40-34 road loss to Eagle Valley (9-2 overall, 6-1 Western Slope), Summit's girls' basketball team gave the Devils a run for their money.
The game was nearly tied after the first quarter, with Summit leading by a point and expanding the gap to 11 points by halftime. Then, Summit lost steam, scoring just nine points in the second half to Eagle Valley's 26, which put the Devils atop the Tigers.
Summit is now 1-12 overall and 0-9 Slope, and will face Glenwood Springs (7-3 overall, 3-3 Slope) tonight on the road.
At Tuesday's home swim meet against St. Mary's, the Lady Tigers saw diver Hailey Wyatt tally a state-qualifying score - a feat for the first-year diver, even though it won't send her to the state competition. Wyatt needed to earn a state-qualifying score in two regular meets or get it in the league meet in a week and a half.
"Still, I'm really proud of her for actually doing it," coach Joe Baldwin said. "I told her before the meet, even if she does get a state-qualifying score, it may not count for anything, but it does in my book. It's a huge accomplishment."
He added that he thinks she has a good chance of meeting her goal at the upcoming league championship meet.
Summit swimming's 200-yard medley relay finished first against St. Mary's, clocking a time of 2 minutes, 19.42 seconds. Summit's Christine Montgomery finished at the top of the 100-yard butterfly field with a 1:22.37 and Olya Aden topped St. Mary's Holly Sommers in the 500-yard freestyle event by more than 25 seconds.
Monday's loss against Valor Christian hockey was a blow to the traction Summit High hockey seemed to have gained as of Friday night's bout with Resurrection Christian.
In the non-conference game, Valor defeated Summit, 6-5. A close score, but one that had head coach Chris Ruhly disappointed.
"It was an absolutely terrible display of hockey - top to bottom, forwards, defense, goaltending, everyone played pretty awful (Monday)," he said. "Very little passion, very little pride. It's mind-boggling to me to see them play so well Friday and come out and play so terribly on Monday."
He took the team back to the ice to prepare for Wednesday's game against Ralston Valley. Look for coverage of the Ralston Valley game in Friday's Summit Daily News.

Yarn Profile:
Phat Silk Phat
Note: La Lana Wools is closing. Its last day will be February 29, 2012. Read Melanie Falick's profile of Luisa Gelenter and La Lana Wools.
First Impressions
Many of these dyestuffs come from native New Mexico plants, sending the La Lana crew scouring the countryside for these plants and harvesting them at the right moment each year. These dyes are complemented with other natural dyestuffs such as cochineal, indigo, madder, and logwood, to produce a nearly mind-boggling array of colors.
Originally most of the plant-dyed yarns at La Lana were semitextured handspuns, but a few years ago La Lana began offering less-expensive millspun in partnership with the Taos Valley Wool Mill. They are priced slightly less than the handspun, and they provide a more consistent spin.
I visited La Lana last fall during the Wool Festival at Taos and came home with a bag of yarns I knew deserved a second look. This ingenious combination of equal parts Bombyx silk and wool was at the top of my list.
While most silk/wool yarns tend to be thorough blendings of each fiber, the fibers in Phat Silk are allowed to stay distinctly separate. The result is a core of plush wool encircled by smooth, lustrous waves of silk. The play of silk against the wool background reminds me of clouds against the skyit's striking.
But it's also a bit of an anomaly. Normally silk absorbs dye more intensely than wool, which means that the silk should be more deeply colored than the wool in Phat Silkand yet it's much lighter. Consider it part of the mystery of the small-batch natural-dye process. (I asked La Lana owner Luisa Gelenter about this and she couldn't explain it either. "Part of its charm, right?" she joked.)
Phat Silk is available in a fine (Phat Silk Fine) and worsted weight (Phat Silk Phat). This review focuses on Phat Silk Phat.
Knitting Up
Silk on its own doesn't have much grab on the needles, and you often have to use slightly smaller needles to compensate for the slippery needles. But in this case, because of the 50% wool content discretely tucked into this yarn, it hugs the needles and gives great fiber memory.
My stitches were lofty and fairly even. The random lay of silk on the yarn gave my stitches a heathered, slightly textured effect. As with most singles, the yarn's spin tightened and loosened depending on how I was wrapping my stitchesbut it had no significant impact on the finished fabric.
The thicker the fiber mass in a single-ply yarn, the less twist is required to hold it together. Yet this worsted-weight single-ply yarn has a fair amount of twist. If there's too much twist, and not enough loft in the fibers to balance it out, your resulting garment will tilt in the direction of the twist. I was pleased to see that my swatches remained perfect squaresno bias whatsoever.
Blocking / Washing
Some silks exude an awful smell when you wash them, often a sign that the fibers weren't processed thoroughly. Phat Silk had no such odor.
I blotted my swatches and set them out to dry on a flat towel. They only required minimum prodding to return to their original perfect shape. Sometimes a yarn won't show its bias until after you wash it, and I was glad to see Phat Silk held no surprises here.
Where silk is shiny and lustrous, wool can be deep and velvety. Where silk is luxuriously smooth with a relaxed drape, wool can be finely crimped with loft and elasticity.
This is a 50/50 pairing in which each fiber has been kept fairly distinct, so you get both visual and tactile complexity, the lustrousness of silk with the memory of wool.
Because the fibers haven't been thoroughly blended together, however, I did have some concern about how the yarn would endure excessive friction. Would the fibers separate with wear, and if so, which fiber would be the predominant shedder?
Sure enough, as the friction began, the crisp surface began to blur. The wool appeared to be the lead shedder. But because the wool is enclosed in silk, it pulled some silk with it. I couldn't easily tug the pills off without dragging neighboring fibers in the process. You want to use a sweater shaver to snip the pills without disturbing the other fibers.
Even after a great amount of wear had covered the swatch surface with fuzz and tiny pills, they were only visible within a few feet.
Against the skin, Phat Silk feels soft with a hint of silky crispness. It's not at all scratchy, but nor is it qiviut.
But I also know that many of us can't afford $240 for a long-sleeved sweater in this stuff. And the good news is that you don't have to.
I'm a firm believer in using yarns like Phat Silk sparingly, either alone in a small item or for accent within a larger item. The yarn knits up at the same gauge as the other La Lana worsteds, so you can mix and match for a truly unusual combination.
If money is really an issue but you want a full-sized garment, you could knit an Icelandic-style sweater using Valley Yarns Berkshire for the body and punctuating one of the yoke colors with Phat Silk.
Or you could narrow your scope and knit a simple rolled-brim hat or farrow-rib skinny scarf out of just a few skeins, with gorgeous results.
Ordering from La Lana takes a little more work than your average yarn store. If you're at all interested in any La Lana yarns, I recommend you order the color cards first. It's nearly impossible to fathom the depth and variety of their colors from a mere picture. Then you can start picking and playing to your heart's content.
You wouldn't use an entire container of saffron in a single recipe. Likewise, a little bit of Phat Silk will go a long way.

A Norwegian company that invested heavily in upstate New York gas leases that it couldn't develop under the state's fracking moratorium has shuttered its U.S. operations and terminated its last eight employees.
Oslo-based Norse Energy Corp. announced last Friday it was converting from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, meaning it was ceasing operations and selling off remaining assets. Norse Energy Corp. USA, based in western New York, and its U.S. parent, Houston-based Norse Energy Holdings, sought bankruptcy court protection in December 2012.
Norse tried unsuccessfully in August to sell pipeline rights of way and gas leases on 130,000 acres in upstate New York to raise money to pay debts, according to company financial filings.
New York has had a moratorium on gas drilling using high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, since it began an environmental review in 2008. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he will decide whether to lift the ban after his health commissioner completes a health impact review.
While Norse blames its bankruptcy on the state's moratorium, the ban only applies to the new techniques of horizontal drilling and high-volume fracking. Companies can still drill shallower vertical wells. Norse had hundreds of producing vertical gas wells in sandstone formations in central and western New York before its financial collapse.
New York's roadblocks to the oil and gas industry include dozens of local bans and moratoriums. Norse is challenging one of these bans, in the central New York town of Dryden, in a case now before the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.
Norse is also contesting a lawsuit filed by landowners representing about 6,000 of the company's leased acres. The company has extended the leases beyond their 5-year term, arguing that the state's moratorium has prevented it from drilling. Landowners say the moratorium isn't a valid reason to extend the leases. In a similar case, Chesapeake Energy recently walked away from about 200 leases rather than appeal a court decision in favor of the landowners.
In the case against the town of Dryden, attorney Tom West, representing Norse, said he expects the case to go forward even if Norse is out of business.
"Another operator would take over those leases, and we would substitute them in" for Norse, West said Thursday.
Norse was substituted in after a trial-level state judge ruled against the first company to challenge Dryden's ban, Denver-based Anschutz Exploration. Anschutz chose to let its New York leases lapse rather than pursue an appeal.
A representative of Norse didn't return a phone message or email seeking comment on Thursday.

Nearly 70 percent of eligible voters in Jackson County have turned in a ballot so far and that percentage is expected to climb through the afternoon, Jackson County Clerk Chris Walker said.
As of 11:31 a.m. 68.3 percent of the 122,051 ballots sent out had been returned, she said.
Walker expects to see votes from about 80 percent of those eligible in the county, slightly off from the 85 percent who voted in the 2008 presidential election.
Election workers are emptying the dropbox at the elections office every 30 to 45 minutes as ballots pour in, she said. The final collection there and from sites at the Ashland, Central Point and Eagle Point libraries and Rogue River City Hall is at 8 p.m.
Preliminary results will be available shortly after 8 p.m. at www.dailytidings.com/electionresults. Look for complete coverage online and connect with the newspaper on Facebook and Twitter for more updates throughout the evening. On Twitter, search for #Election2012.

text: Title is pretty self explanatory. After wracking my mind on Bakker, Martin, and Erikson, I'm ready—and by ready I mean NOW!—for some lighter but by no means unintelligent fantasy: swashbuckling stuff, stories revolving around roguish adventurers and derring-do. Something similar to The Three Musketeers or The Lies of Locke Lamora or the Sharpe series. Suggestions? Thank you for your time Mage-

NEW ORLEANS — 49ers safety Donte Whitner said teammate Chris Culliver should be prepared for a strong backlash from the Bay Area gay community even though the young cornerback was contrite and apologetic Thursday in the wake of making anti-gay remarks on a radio show earlier this week.
"Hopefully, there's not," Whitner said. "But if I was a gambling man, I would probably think there (will be a backlash). That's why the comments that he made were so big, because the city we're actually in, there is a large population of people who are gay. There are probably a large number of people who come to Candlestick Park every weekend that are gay. It was just a mistake by him and I know he wishes he could take it back."
Whitner said Culliver is a young, naïve player who doesn't always think before he acts or speaks, but that he need not be counseled in-depth regarding his anti-gay slurs.
"I guarantee he has learned his lesson now," he said. "He's a young guy, it's his second year in the league and a lot of this is new to him. Everybody else in our secondary is older. We have 6-7 years in at ages from 27-31. Chris is 22-23 years old, so we're always trying to teach him lessons. He is sort of the young, flamboyant type of kid sometimes. Sometimes he does things we don't know why he does them. That's Chris. But we'll all say bits and pieces to him and he'll get past this and won't make this same mistake again."
Whitner added that Culliver's upbringing may have had something to do with his stance.
"It might be like a macho type of thing," he said. "A lot of people are raised in a lot of different ways. You don't know how that person was raised. Their parents could have been against gay. But I have family members that are gay. If you can accept a family member who is gay, you can accept anybody who is gay. That's the way I feel about it."
But he added there could be gay individuals on any team, including the 49ers.
"We are players in the NFL, but we are also human," he said. "Who knows, there could be someone who's gay in our locker room right now that's scared to come out, which he has a right to be if he is because of all of this and how other teammates might feel. I feel like anybody can be who they want to be as long as you don't disrespect other people and go about your business in your own way."
Whitner said as far as society has come in terms of gay acceptance, he doesn't think the NFL is ready yet for an openly gay player.
"I don't think that bridge has been built yet," he said. "I think there are a lot of people who are afraid to come out, because they're going to be scrutinized. People are going to look at them differently. If you have friends that are straight, a lot of people don't want to be seen with people that are gay. And there are a lot of people who aren't comfortable being in the locker room naked and walking around with somebody that's gay.
"Football is a rough game, a very rough game," Whitner continued. "I guess when you think of football, you don't think of somebody being gay. The facts are, there are people in the NFL right now who are scared to come out. That's the facts about it. I don't really know 100 percent, but I can guarantee there are people in the NFL who are gay right now."
Safety Dashon Goldson said he was good friends with former lineman Kwame Harris, but didn't know he was gay when he was playing.
"Kwame was a great guy, I knew Kwame," Goldson said. "He was on our football team. He was a respectful guy. I never knew he was gay. It wouldn't have mattered if I did, just because of the guy he was. He never tried to do anything to anybody, he never said anything disrespectful. He was just a football player in the locker room."
Wide receiver Randy Moss said it's high time all people, but particularly football players, get past their prejudices regarding gays.
"I don't think we should tear a man's head off or a woman's head off just because of their sexual preference," Moss said. "I think we're all good people. I really believe we should be able to look beyond that in this day and age. It's here in our world, it's not like it just came yesterday. So for us to act like, 'Oh my God, this is like a bad disease that just hit our country,' it's not."

Fantastic product !
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 17/02/2012
Ok I read the reviews, blah, blah, blah, the few found said that the product was decent.
Requirements : Reasonable in price, quick, simple, low consumption.
Price : for just under £70 it's a bargain!
Quick :
Lets cut the chase,over a Gig LAN setup correctly (Win7 Ultimate, Netgear switch, Draytek Router, CAT7 wiring) I get 50MB/s write and 40MB/s (yes bytes) read, which is really very good for a small NAS.
Simple : Whip the CD in discover, configure IP, and you are rollin' ! Interface is well done, simple and has most of what you need.
Low consumption : HHD goes into standby after X minutes, also can configure eSATA to go to sleep. From memory 0.24W in standby!
Setup at the office is simple, once configured, created users, created shares, set user to share, mapped local drive to ftp share, created truecrypt file container on mapped drive, mount tc file-> mounts as another drive letter, copy files to this new drive. Work wonders at same speed as sated above.This is a NAS to have !

Does not support Power On
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 29/02/2012
As opposed to both various reviews/the description on the box and the information within the help for this device, it does NOT support scheduled power on, only power off and reboot.
Just got off the phone with Zyxel support who have both confirmed this and stated that it will not get this feature in the future.
Looks like I will have to return mine.

|2013 Inductee (WBB 2002-05)
Terra Andrews was born on Feb. 27, 1984, in Houston, Texas.
Andrews was a two-sport standout at Dulles High School in
Sugarland. She was named Newcomer of the Year during her sophomore
season in volleyball and was recognized on the all-district team
her junior and senior years. While she excelled in volleyball, she
was a force on the basketball court, earning invitations to both
the TABC All-Star Team and the TGCA All-Star Team. Andrews was
selected to the all-district team her senior year and was nominated
as a McDonald's All-American. In addition to her success on
the court, Andrews was also a member of the National Honor
Andrews arrived on campus at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in the fall of 2002 and quickly became a leader on the court for the Islanders women's basketball team. Andrews has a resumé that is unparalleled in program history. In addition to being the Islanders' career scoring leader with 1,550 points, she also holds the school records in both field goals (607) and field-goal attempts (1,420). She scored 20 points or more 25 times in her career, an Islanders record, and led the team to an Independent Championship and a spot in the Women's National Invitation Tournament in 2005. The 2004-05 Islanders finished the year with a 23-7 record.
The native of Missouri City, Texas, was named the Division I Independent Women's Basketball Player of the Year in each of her final three seasons, in addition to earning Second Team honors in her freshman campaign. She is also second on the Islanders all-time list in rebounds (815) and double-doubles (20) and is third in blocks (87) and steals (145). Her 465 points in 2004-05 are the second most in a season in Islanders history.
After graduating Cum Laude in May of 2006, Andrews returned to her roots in Houston. Today she serves as an insurance broker for Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services.

There's not much new to add to the reviews but I would like to reiterate for those who have not heard this - the Tweezer -> Makisupa Policeman -> Antelope is a one-two-three punch that (in my opinion) musically captures everything that was happening to (and is great about) Phish in the Fall 1995. This Tweezer is the early predecessor of the 12/02/1995 version which occurs just two amazing shows later in as many days. While the New Haven Tweezer is essentially an exposition on tension and release, charging towards an explosive climax before dissolving into a breakdown of the theme and rhythm, this Dayton version settles into a catastrophic major-key theme early which is repeated, and elaborated upon before submerging itself in disorienting, tension and release. Emerging from the tension, the theme is repeated with Trey shifting towards a major resolve on every third downbeat, and then the sixth; when effective - as it is in this version - it can literally make you feel as if you being punched in the stomach.
Because the nature of this music is so forward-moving in feeling, these themes are elaborated upon but must change before feeling stale - a final resolve before the *first* build features Trey sustaining a single note while Page provides the melody's climax and Mike + Fish keep time (incredibly impressive). This would be a contender already even if it dissolved into a breakdown and merged into Antelope at this point, but because its Phish - it moves forward into the ether, dissolving once more into tension and release, and while the major-key theme still exists, it is getting harder and harder to pick out of the noise.
What happens next is hard to describe (and must be heard) and it is in my humble opinion the high-water mark of Phish v.1.0-c.1995. Essentially, the music speeds up and breaks down, the tension and release is still there but it somehow more spacious; more mechanical / factory sounding, almost. Trey provides some awesome improvised chord progression while Page works the ivories. Suddenly - a shift. Remember how I said Mike + Fish have kept nearly perfect time? The band becomes one, during this. Everyone locks into a double-kick drum rhythm, Page hammers two low notes on the downbeat and Trey leans on the guitar. The music builds into a You Enjoy Myself "AHHHHHHHHH" moment (slower though, at first) until it explodes; Trey's guitar physically goes no higher and Fish speeds things up to match Trey resolving the full-band build into a solo that is beautiful and climatic.
And this show continues - and the Tweezer builds again in a different, but no less firey direction, then dissolves into a breakdown of the Tweezer theme which, believe it or not, blends seamlessly into Makisupa. And OK, so then, once the beauty of Makisupa is finished (complete with some really pretty sounding 95ish sustains) you are punched again in the stomach by an absolutely blistering Antelope that does not slow down even for a second.
One more note from this show: Harry Hood. It is beautiful, blissful and perfect. This is a favorite set of mine. As I tried to illustrate, the band worked together as one unit and the breakdowns, tension, release, climatic build, soaring solos by all members, not just trey plus rhythmic perfection. It was everything they had worked on achieving by Fall 1995 and is the foundation for one of the best months in Phish history - December 1995.
Things would be so much different, but none-the-less equally astounding, by the time they returned to the Nutter in Dayton in December 1997.


text: I don't intend to make this into an argument about real world religion, but I was wondering who people would say is the best fictional deity on a philosophical level. Which one's nature in your eyes is the best philosophically. I haven't decided entirely yet myself but I'll say Crom from the Conan stories. This has nothing to do with any kind of might makes right type stuff but rather because of what he values. He values people getting things done. He tells you to fix your damn problems.If it was a problem you created you have to fix it. You shouldn't rely solely on his intervention when you are perfectly capable of fixing many situations yourself.Furthermore, he values inner strength before physical might.He values courage and valor before any mortal muscle.

When they arrived in China's Sichuan Province in early September, it quickly became clear that members of the Summit County Rescue Group had little in common with their hosts, a Chinese mountain rescue team.
The two groups spoke different languages and came from different cultures on opposite sides of the globe.
But they shared a one very powerful connection: a love for the unforgiving high-alpine landscape where they work.
"They had the same spirit we do," Summit County Rescue Group team leader Aaron Parmet said. "And they had the hearts of volunteers, just like us."
Parmet was one of five local rescuers who spent nearly a month in China earlier this year as part of a cultural exchange and rescue-training program. The Summit County Rescue Group spent 18 days living and working with members of the Sichuan Mountaineering Association, teaching them high-angle avalanche and search and rescue techniques.
"China is just starting to get out into the mountains for play, so you see parts of their culture, with respect to mountain recreation, that are similar to where our culture was years ago," Parmet said. "But they're moving at an incredible pace, so they're seeing a lot of growing problems as far as rescue."
Problems like the total absence of beacons. Distance and inadequate equipment mean responders are often running recovery operations rather than rescue missions in the wake of China's frequent avalanches. As recreationalists push farther and farther into the backcountry, rescuers are also having to respond to calls from terrain where there have never before been accidents.
The Sichuan Mountaineering Association's exchange program is part of a proactive push to enhance rescue teams' techniques and improve results. Through translators, Summit County rescuers - who traveled with members of Rocky Mountain Rescue Group out of Boulder - taught basic rope skills, avalanche rescue and search techniques.
During one exercise, Summit County Rescue Group leader Jim Koegel hid from SMA rescuers to give them an opportunity to test their skills in the field.
"They found him by asking other villagers if they had seen any other round-eyed people come by," remembers SCRG rescuer Amber Moran.
The trip wasn't all work, however. Local rescuers, who funded the trip themselves, got to stay in a national park, experience some of the cultural and visitor attractions of the region and climb one roughly 17,000-foot mountain just for fun.
"That's as high as I've ever been," Parmet said.
The stay in China was eye-opening for Moran and Parmet, not only as Americans, but as mountaineers.
While they were training their hosts in rescue techniques, they were also learning about the Chinese way of life - sampling new dishes such as duck eyeballs - and a whole different mountain landscape.
Coming from Summit County, sitting comfortably above 9,000 feet in elevation with peaks of up to 14,000 feet, rescuers were suddenly exposed to a mountain environment where the 10,000-foot valley floor sat at the base of towering mountains reaching 18,000 feet in elevation.
"The vertical relief there ended up to be about twice what it was here," Parmet said.
"They have a whole different environment they have to rescue people from versus what we have," Moran said.
Still, it wasn't the mountains but the friendships that were the most moving part of the journey, they said.
Shortly after meeting the SMA team, even without the luxury of a common language, local rescuers said they felt at home with their hosts.
"You really learned how much you can communicate with people without words," Moran said. "One of the first nights we got together as a group, we sat down to dinner not knowing how to talk to each other. By the end of that night, we were all hanging out together, and we were laughing and cheering. It was really cool to see how two completely different cultures can just be put together like that and become friends without talking."
Members of SCRG were invited to their Chinese hosts' homes for meals. If members of the SMA were to return to the U.S., they would be welcomed with the same open arms, Parmet said.

"This will be his first time going to a school, and I'm kind of shocked and surprised," she said.
Fran Mitchell, a nurse practitoner at the Richmond County Health Department, said there is a new requirement for the Prevnar vaccine.
Prevnar 13 helps protect children against six additional strains of bacteria that can cause blood infections, pneumonia and meningitis.
Here's a guide for parents on which shots are needed:
Requirements for school for young children ages (Ages 4-6):
There are a few more recommended shots for older students (Ages 11-12):
-Hepatitis a
-Varicella (2nd dose) Required for 6th grade entry
-Tdap (Tetanus and Acellular Pertussis)
Mitchell said each of these vaccines is important.
"These are life-threatening diseases we are protecting children against," she said. "Even chicken pox can be life threatening."
Nurses are urging parents not to wait till the last minute to get their child's immunizations.
"Very very important to get here early so you can get everything done on time," Harris said.
The nurses at the Richmond County Health Department are working with Georgia's GRITS system, which has immunization records for every child in the state.
"It allows us to stay current," Mitchell said. "When child walks in, we can look them up in the system."
By working faster, they're hoping to get every child vaccinated and taken care of in time for the first day of school.
The Richmond County Health Department will be providing vaccines Wednesday. Starting Aug. 1, the health department in Laney Walker will have extended hours opening up at 8 a.m. and staying open through 3 p.m. They will not close down for a two-hour lunch break like they usually do.
If you are planning a visit to the health department make sure you bring your child's immunization records, identification, insurance card and a form of payment.
