Jack Green has worn many hats over the years, so it's fitting that his burgundy fedora has become his signature.
Whenever Green goes to an out-of-town fight card, organizers of those shows know that the president of the Buffalo Veteran Boxers Association is in the house because they see the slender gentleman wearing that stylish, hard-to-miss hat, with matching pants offset by the navy blue BVBA blazer.
Green will be just as hard to miss tonight at Salvatore's Italian Gardens during the annual Ring 44 Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony. He'll be standing at the door greeting the guests upon their arrival for the 6 p.m. dinner.
A few tickets remain for the event in which the local boxing community will honor former No. 1 light middleweight title contender and five-time amateur national champion Ross Thompson, longtime trainer Ray Casal and late boxer/artist Tony Sisti. Marcus Floyd of PAL Boxing Club will be honored as Ring 44's Amateur Boxer of the Year, and Ring 44 Sergeant-At-Arms Dick Wipperman will be honored as the association's Man of the Year. For tickets, call 316-5120.
"This is pretty much the crown jewel of Ring 44," said state Golden Gloves President Don Patterson. "It means a lot to the boxing community to acknowledge all fighters, young and old."
Green is among the reasons for that. He is the second-longest reigning president of the 51-year-old association, having taken office in 1999 as the fourth leader of the BVBA. (Jim Harkins was the first president and had a 34-year term.)
One of the first things Green did once he took over as president was turn a dinner-dance into a more formal awards dinner.
In addition to overseeing the organization's dinner with the assistance of other members of the association's board of directors, he runs monthly meetings and puts out a newsletter.
Green also attends various amateur and professional fight cards in and outside the Western New York area. He serves as the boxing community's official host when entertaining out-of-town guests, including dignitaries from boxing associations in England and Sweden.
Green and his associates also help set up prospective boxers with the right gym so that when they start getting involved with the sport, they're in as comfortable a setting as possible.
"It's all about being of service," Green said.
"He's a great advocate for boxing and probably the main guy who spreads the word in the community about boxing so he's been very instrumental for publicizing the sport and keeping the awareness of boxing up," Patterson said.
The 67-year-old Green, a father of three and grandfather of nine, is retired from his job as a sales representative in the trucking industry.
He was a longtime volunteer high school and elementary school basketball coach locally and even coached ex-University at Buffalo men's basketball coach Reggie Witherspoon during his youth.
Green's grandson Mustafa Jones – a 6-foot-7 junior at Cardinal Hayes in New York City – received second team All-Bronx High School basketball honors in the New York Daily News and has been offered scholarships by several Division I mid-majors, including UB, according to rivals.com.
Green didn't plan on sticking around this long as Ring 44 president. He planned on being a one-year-and-done leader after turning down initial requests to be the head of the association. He finally said 'yes' when officers said they wanted to honor Green's father, Johnny.
Johnny Green was a great fighter who became one of the best trainers in the area. Jack Green, whose birth name is John T. Green Jr., boxed briefly as a youngster until his father told him he wanted him to get an education first. After he achieved that, then he'd allow him to box.
Jack, who attended Catholic school and graduated from Millard Fillmore College (UB's evening division), returned to the sport later to help Johnny train his proteges – serving as his father's eyes when he lost his sight.
After his father died in 1993, Green was out of boxing until the BVBA came calling.
It turns out Green's family was supportive of his involvement with the association, but that's not the only reason he decided to stick around.
"The tremendous respect the membership has for me, they definitely feel that my staff and me represent them completely," Green said. "I'm very honored they feel I'm their representative and that motivates me to stay on. It's just inspiring to me that they believe I'm qualified to represent them on a national level."

''Looking for an exciting career, young Bobby Dorfman leaves New York for the glitz and glamour of 1930s Hollywood. After landing a job with his uncle, Bobby falls for Vonnie, a charming woman who happens to be his employer's mistress. Settling for friendship but ultimately heartbroken, Bobby returns to the Bronx and begins working in a nightclub. Everything falls into place when he finds romance with a beautiful socialite, until Vonnie walks back into his life and captures his heart once again.''
Singular sci-fi weirdness that could only have been made in the '70s,
The Man Who Fell to Earth gets better and better with age. Continuing
Nicolas Roeg's amazing early run of visionary masterworks
(Performance, Walkabout, Don't Look Now), this multilayered, highly
resonant art pic stars the otherworldly, inimitable David Bowie as a
space alien-turned-industrialist seeking water for his dying planet.
An entrancing, unusual film, tackling meaty themes of identity,
alienation, capitalist malfeasance and media saturation, and filled
with poetic, atmospheric images best experienced on the big screen.
Widely considered one of the greatest and most unusual of the genre,
Robert Aldrich's late-cycle nuclear age film noir is hardboiled pulp
infused with the unsettling tone of a horror nightmare. A key
influence on filmmakers such as David Lynch, David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino, KISS ME DEADLY is the definitive version of Mickey
Spillane's private eye character Mike Hammer, played here with
thuggish amoral magnetism by Ralph Meeker. Dark, ultra-stylish,
thrillingly surreal, with a truly mind-blowing finale.
Releasing at Academy Cinemas 1st September.
Currently rated 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the Ottoman province of Hijaz during World War I, a young Bedouin boy experiences a greatly hastened coming of age as he embarks on a perilous desert journey to guide a British officer to his secret destination.
Releasing September 8th at Academy. A documentary that follows drag queen Panti Bliss: part glamorous aunt, part Jessica Rabbit, she's a wittily incisive performer with charisma to burn who is widely regarded as one of the best drag queens in the world. Created by Rory O'Neill, Panti is also an accidental activist and in her own words 'a court jester, whose role is to say the un-sayable'. In recent years, Rory has become a figurehead for LGBT rights in Ireland and since the 2014 scandal around Pantigate, his fight for equality and against homophobia has become recognised across the world.
Releasing September 15th at Academy. In Alison Maclean's vibrant screen adaptation of Eleanor Catton's debut novel, a first-year acting student (James Rolleston) channels the real-life experience of his girlfriend's family into art and sets off a moral minefield.
Unpacking the dramas that energise a class of budding young actors, The Rehearsal mounts an enticing inquisition of performance, identity and moral anxiety with resonance far beyond its hothouse setting.
James Rolleston vanishes into the part of Stanley, a naive newcomer drawn to the city by his passion to make it on stage. While his new best friends indulge in wilder stuff, gentle Stanley tentatively romances 15-year-old Isolde (Ella Edward).
His sweet dreams may have found their nemesis in Hannah (Kerry Fox), the school's grandstanding senior tutor. Students must deconstruct themselves, she contends, before they can play at being anybody else. Stanley gradually bends to her taunting style, until, in one of the dazzling turns that stud the film, he earns her applause with a hilarious, treacherously accurate impersonation of his salesman father. Even murkier waters await when his class decides that a sex scandal involving Isolde's older sister should be intensively researched for their end-of-year show.
With Michelle Ny, Marlon Williams and Kieran Charnock providing vivid support to the young principals, The Rehearsal carries a potent extra-textual charge: there's enough talent in this fictional drama school to constitute a real-world new wave.
Like the novel, the film (co-scripted with Emily Perkins) is as attentive to the misleading effect youthful nerve can have on the 'mature' as it is to the crises the teachers so blithely incite in the taught. It's also its own sharp, original thing, a film by Alison Maclean, alive with ambiguity and cinematic verve.
Releasing September 29th at Academy. Documentarian Andrew Rossi chronicles the creation of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's most attended fashion exhibition in history, 'China: Through The Looking Glass'.
With unprecedented access, filmmaker Andrew Rossi captures the collision of high fashion and celebrity at the Met Gala, one of the biggest global fashion events chaired every year by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. Featuring a cast of renowned artists in many fields (including filmmaker Wong Kar Wai and fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano) as well as a host of contemporary pop icons like Rihanna, the movie dives into the debate about whether fashion should be viewed as art.
Releasing 6th October exclusively at Academy Cinemas.
Ohad Naharin is one of the most prominent, innovative and productive choreographers in the world. The film follows Naharin between Japan, Holland, Sweden and Israel - through the uncompromising work with dancers and draws a unique portrait of the 60-year old artist at the most critical point of his personal life.
Releasing October 13th at Academy. Delivered with muscularity and verve, Pablo Trapero's 80s true crime drama unravels the exploits of a well-connected Buenos Aires businessman and his rugby-star son and their ruthless kidnapping and ransom operation.
In Argentina everybody knows about the Puccio Clan case. In 1985 it was discovered that a spate of kidnappings and murders had been the work of the Puccios, a well-established Catholic family with five children from San Isidro, a high-class suburb of Buenos Aires. They had held the hostages in their basement, then, after the ransoms had been paid, murdered them. Mamá Puccio and the daughters were allegedly oblivious, but the sons were up to their necks, none more so than golden-haired national rugby star Alejandro (Peter Lanzani), used as bait to attract victims by the controlling paterfamilias. It is through the conflicted eyes of young Alejandro that the story unravels in Pablo Trapero's fearsomely compulsive film.
"Guillermo [The Secret of Their Eyes] Francella's performance as Arquímedes Puccio… is one of the damnedest things you'll ever see… Few actors have made evil so insidiously accessible." — Michael Sragow, Film Comment
"Trapero stages the kidnapping set pieces with stirring dispatch, amping up the action with a bold, ironic, propulsive use of such pop tunes as the Kinks' 'Sunny Afternoon' and David Lee Roth's 'Just a Gigolo'…
Despite the mayhem and Puccio's inevitable downward spiral, the heart of the film remains the strained dynamic between Arquímedes and Alejandro: a monstrous father demanding loyalty and obedience at all costs from the prized son… Francella and Lanzani are excellent… throughout this nervy and provocative picture." — Gary Goldstein, LA Times
Releasing 13th of October at Academy Cinemas.
"Infused with autobiographical elements, Babak Anvari's debut feature is a terrifying allegory of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War, a now often overlooked conflict that shaped much of this London-based Iranian filmmaker's early childhood.
A constantly shifting expressionistic nightmare, Under the Shadow centers upon Shideh (Narges Rashidi), a frustrated mother unable to fulfill her career aspirations because of her former political activism. When her doctor husband is drafted, Shideh is left alone with her daughter Dorsa and must protect her from supernatural phenomena brought upon their Tehran apartment by a missile attack.
At first skeptical of ghost stories, Shideh slowly realizes that her home is haunted and gets sucked into a web of paranoia wherein malevolent djinn mess with her mind. Like any insightful work of horror, Anvari's film leaves it to the viewer to decide whether the supernatural threat is a shared reality or no more than a psychosomatic symptom – a harrowing projection of the protagonist's deranged psyche." — Yonca Talu, Film Comment

Why are baby animals cuter than baby humans?
Why do kittens, bunnies, puppies, and their ilk seem so much cuter than human babies? This is something I've always wondered, and I am surprised that it doesn't seem to have been asked here. I've seen some idle speculations about the reasons in various places around the Web, but nothing resembling evidence. Is there any actual research related to this topic?

Career indecision-sonographer or PA? Where does baby fit in? Urgent!
I am 35, my husband is 44. I have always struggled with my career, and recently quit my job and entered a sonography program. Just before entering the program I am in, I also applied to PA school. I have been offered a place in PA school, and I do not know what to do. Lately my biology has caught up with me (baby. now.) and I do not want to put off baby much longer (we could start trying to conceive in exactly one year if I stay and complete the sonography course-I am in the second quarter of a two year course). If I switch to PA, (program is also two years but does not start until 7 months from now) it means either having a baby during my clinical year and going straight back to rotations (ouch) or putting baby off for TWO more years...also ouch. It is worth noting that I do not think that I am strong enough/career motivated enough to leave my baby for 12-14 hours per day, which is why either way, I would like to have the baby at the end of either program, so that I can stay home for a few months before starting my first job.

Books to prepare us for making babies?
My wife and I are planning to start trying to conceive in the next few months, and being academic bookish types, would like some books on the whole process. Specifically, we're interested in fertility issues (we're in our mid-30s) and generally the logistics of the whole process - prenatal nutrition, choosing a doctor and a hospital, preparing for the kid, and so on. My personal preference is for books that are more detailed (citations to back things up are great) rather than touchy-feely.

Choline is an essential nutrient that is found in many food sources and plays a critical role in the development of the central nervous system. Animal studies have shown that choline status pre- and postnatally can have long-lasting effects on attention and memory; however, effects in human subjects have not been well studied. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between plasma concentrations of free choline and its related metabolites in children and their neurodevelopment in the Seychelles Child Development Nutrition Study, an ongoing longitudinal study assessing the development of children born to mothers with high fish consumption during pregnancy. Plasma concentrations of free choline, betaine, dimethylglycine (DMG), methionine and homocysteine and specific measures of neurodevelopment were measured in 210 children aged 5 years. The children's plasma free choline concentration (9·17 (sd 2·09) μmol/l) was moderately, but significantly, correlated with betaine (r 0·24; P= 0·0006), DMG (r 0·15; P= 0·03), methionine (r 0·24; P= 0·0005) and homocysteine (r 0·19; P= 0·006) concentrations. Adjusted multiple linear regression revealed that betaine concentrations were positively associated with Preschool Language Scale – total language scores (β = 0·066; P= 0·04), but no other associations were evident. We found no indication that free choline concentration or its metabolites, within the normal physiological range, are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes in children at 5 years of age. As there is considerable animal evidence suggesting that choline status during development is associated with cognitive outcome, the issue deserves further study in other cohorts.

Brandon Rios vs. Richard Abril: The Pre-Fight Report Card
by Cliff Rold, photo by Chris Farina
For those who thought Yuriorkis Gamboa had to be an absolute moron to piss away a major HBO date against Brandon Rios, for a reported million dollars and change, with no proven ability to put butts in seats, the weigh-in results for Rios-Richard Abril should enhance the thinking.
Rios looked terrible in photos, drawn and dehydrated, in missing the Lightweight limit of 135 lbs. by two pounds for his Saturday clash with interim WBA titlist Richard Abril. Just as noteworthy, given time to burn more pounds, Rios returned to scale 139. It's hard not to think a starched Rios wouldn't have been easy pickings for the Cuban speedster.
The only person who looks more foolish than Gamboa right now is the brain trust who let Rios anywhere near Lightweight again.
It shouldn't surprise anyone. Top Rank, Rios's promoter, has signed their guys into fights they've shown evidence of being too heavy for in the past. It's fair to say Rios is ultimately responsible for his weight. It's also fair to say his promoters and managers should be looking out for him. When a fighter can't make weight anymore, especially in this lame day-before weight-in era, then it is insane to keep signing them to abuse their bodies into divisions they don't belong in.
Fans who were once disappointed by Jose Luis Castillo looking like he hadn't had a drop of fluid in him for days, failing to make weight for Diego Corrales in their aborted third fight, can at least take solace that Rios-Abril will go on.
Rios blew weight last year before his fight with John Murray, losing his WBA Lightweight belt on the scale, and has been rumored to struggle with weight for some time. When the fight with Gamboa looked on its way, Gamboa risking moving up two classes from Featherweight, one of the big reasons to like his chances was Rios and the scale.
The scale happened. Gamboa is working on his contract. Abril finds out if he can get in work on Rios.
Let's go to the report card.
The Ledgers
Brandon Rios
Age: 25
Title: None
Previous Titles: WBA Lightweight (2011, 1 Defense)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 137 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 135.85 lbs.
Hails from: Oxnard, California
Record: 29-0-1, 22 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #1 at Lightweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 2-0, 2 KO
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 1 (Miguel Acosta)
Richard Abril
Age: 29
Title/Previous Titles: None
Height: 5'11
Weight: 135
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 136.05 lbs.
Hails from: Miami, Florida
Record: 17-2-1, 8 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #5 at Lightweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 1-0 in interim title fights
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 1 (Miguel Acosta)
Pre-Fight: Speed – Rios B; Abril B+
Pre-Fight: Power – Rios B+; Abril B-
Pre-Fight: Defense – Rios B-; Abril B+
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Rios B+; Abril B+
Abril has always had the chance to play serious style nightmare for Rios. He could be a style nightmare for anyone. Inordinately tall for a Lightweight, Abril has snappy countering ability and knows a lot of tricks. He's willing to lean on the neck, bend over at the waist, hold and spin…the whole bag of tricks. He can get to legging it out in the ring.
Add in Rios's struggle to make weight and the thought of chasing a taller, aggravating opponent sounds more harrowing than in the original diagnosis. Where Rios can find some solace is that, while Abril isn't punchless (he dropped Miguel Acosta a few times), he's not a lights out banger. Rios is typically willing to take two to land one, relying on pressure and accumulation to make opponents fold.
Sometimes it happens early, sometimes late, but it usually happens. Abril has never been stopped but it doesn't mean he can't be. If Rios begins to impose his will, and can keep his wind as the rounds wear on, he is a physical dilemma for Abril.
In terms of intangibles, both fall just shy of the "A" category, Rios for missing weight twice in a row and Abril because, while his career blemishes are close, while there is a case he could still be unbeaten, there is also a case that he doesn't always know how to close. Maybe the Acosta win last year was the start of something big.
Rios would be evidence in that direction.
The Pick
With Rios failing to make weight, it's tough not to lean to Abril in the upset. Abril is a couple scorecards shy of unbeaten and has faced about the same level of foe as Rios. He's got some solid skill and some sharp counters. Rios, once he gets going, is one of the game's most skilled pressure fighters. He might fall behind scoring-wise, but he's the sort who wins fights over rounds. Choosing not to attempt further weight burn after the initial failure to make weight Friday may end up a blessing in disguise for Rios. He showed against Murray that his youth can allow him to still fight hard once he's rehydrated and that will be bad news for Abril. Ultimately, Rios will be just a tad too physical for Abril and come on strong down the stretch for the late stoppage or decision.
Report Card Picks 2012: 13-3
Cliff's Notes… Felix Sturm ran over Sebastian Zbik and Sturm really doesn't run over anyone. This should put some perspective on how hard Zbik was for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Sure, triangle theories are highly flawed, but Zbik has yet to get a win of note and really showed his level on Friday…There's no report card for tomorrow's main event. Being honest, this scribe hasn't seen enough of Juan Manuel Marquez's opponent Sergiy Fedchenko. What is there to see is nothing special and this doesn't look like a preview worthy fight heading in. Fedchenko has solid fundamentals but not a ton of speed or power. Unless Marquez gets old in a day, Fedchenko should hear the ten before night's end.

Yep and now with Hartson too we should have it done and dusted by nowspring a surprise on the rest of the football league for a change rather than announce we are going to think about perhaps talking to a under rated cheap player. Then letting everyone else in on the bidding war. Someone in the management has a big gob or wants to impress his friends and its not helping. Cynical?

Read reviews from past Contiki travelers.
An absolutely fantastic tour, full of spectacular landscapes and legendary travel-mates. Go by yourself, each of us in the group of 20 were by ourselves, and had the best fun hanging out, having heaps of laughs... Everyone was so positive and fun and so was the tour manager and driver! The sites you'll see are like no other. It's a relatively active Contiki tour and there are a few hot and tiring hikes. But you feel on top of the world afterwards! And you can opt out of those walks if you don't have the fitness levels. Get excited about the bushtucker tour, sleeping under the stars and the reptile park!
Do it. Go. Get off your couch and book now!!! No regrets!!!
Had a few misgivings with this tour:
The hotel in Paris is in a "ghetto" (the words of our tour manager, not mine). There were nightly gatherings of hundreds of what he referred to as "gypsies" outside the hotel every night.
We were made to pay for what was supposed to be our included meal (duck, escargot, etc), and then given dry chicken as our "included dinner" instead.
New Year's Eve in Paris is very dangerous. Contiki will not provide transportation on that night (not surprising because it's impossible for traffic to move with literally thousands of drunk people clogging the streets like a mob). There are no fireworks at Eiffel Tower, just the sparkle lights that happen every night, on the hour. Don't expect to be able to get back to the hotel before 4 AM.
Two drunk men harassed our entire floor in my hotel until early morning hours by screaming and trying to open all the doors. There was no phone in the room with which to call the front desk; very scary.
This was one of the best things I have ever done, met the most craziest group of people and travelled some of the most beautiful places in the world. ONE WORD: PARADISE BEACH. one of the best days of my life! mykonos and iOS nightlife is crazy, especially the first night in mykonos the bar crawl will leave you with a sore head the next day! tour guides were brilliant, knew so much, very informative and VERY crazy! santorini was beautiful, unfortunately i was unwell but i have been unwell in worse places to say the least!
This tour was more that was I was expecting, if you want to travel, eat amazing food, meet crazy people while partying in the most beautiful places in the world this is the tour for you!!
This trip was the best decision I have ever made. Having never been to Europe before, I wanted to see and do as much as possible. Contrasts let me do that! It was a little crazy at times because it was a fast paced trip but I still loved every minute of it. On top of getting to see and do so much, our contiki group was amazing and our tour guide and bus driver were amazing. My suggestion for anyone looking in to the trip is to give yourself a fair amount of time after the tour is completed to do some more travelling. My one regret is not being able to extend my vacation and spend more time with some of the best people I've ever met.
Love, love, loved this tour!! Being a first time contiki traveller I wasn't sure what to expect, but our crew were fantastic and our group was like a big happy family!! All the optionals were well worth doing! Our tour manager even sourced out extra activities for us to do (e.g. football game), going above and beyond her contiki duties. The accommodation and food were great, especially in Barcelona! However, we spent minimal time in our accommodation and maximum time seeing the sights and checking out the local night life. A downfall was that the tour was so jam packed, you didn't always get to see everything you'd like to. But all the more reason to come back to Europe! 10/10 experience!
Throughout the entire trip 2 of us were bullied, purely because of immature bitchiness. because we were excluded and made to feel as though we were not welcome, we chose not to show up for alot of the me time optionals that we had paid for. our tour guide refused to refund us and did nothing to support us through this situation. we also found that many of the me time optionals are grossly over priced and always under delivered. buy tickets on your own from the locals. i have a photo of the mozart prices offered .. front row in a theatre with a 3 course meal for 56 euro, we paid contiki $63 euro for a cheap and nasty meal then went to a hall that had a white sheet over the stage and some fold out chairs lined up. soooooo dodgy. to make it worse we were told to dress up in a room full of tourists wearing sneakers and visers. this tour was a joke ! and an absolute waste of money ! hotels are all so far out of town and the food provided is HORRIBLE ! you can do the same trip for half the price on your own and have a much better time ! tour guide isnt even qualified to guide and on walking tours we had to pretend it was our guides birthday, to avoid a fine we were told to break out in "happy birthday" if somebody was behind us. NEVER AGAIN. # YOU WILL REGRET ! they are lucky i do not take it further. you dont get to experience the countries. your on a bus all the time or at a hotel in the middle of nowhere or at an overpriced activity. I WANT MY MONEY BACK !
I previously did Contiki in Europe in 2012 and enjoyed it. So I decided for my 21st birthday I would embark on a Vietnam contiki trip. Best decision I have ever made! Tour manager Danny was brilliant really knew his stuff and he was so much fun. He was really organised and the trip went smoothly. We had a lot of spare time and fun activities. Asia contiki is so much more relaxed. I was lucky enough to spend my 21st birthday in Halong Bay, with surprise birthday cake on the boat! I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Great people, food, culture, places, things to see :)
Nha Trang, Hoi An and Halong Bay are definite highlights. Be prepared to eat lots of food :)
Make sure you check out the Green Chilli restaurant in Hoi An- great food and the chef is hilarious :)
I am a 24 year old female who loves to take trips on group tours, such like contiki. I love the people on the trips, I love the itineraries, and I love the experience of them. I recently went on a trip in February to do the Argentina and Brazilian Experience. I was really disappointed with the guide. The trip itself was good, but the guide was not great. This was the first time I had experienced this with Contiki. She was biased towards liking the men on the trip more then the woman. I once asked her a question and she told me I should've been listening and I asked one of the guys to ask her the same question and she responded right away while flirting with him. She didn't know any information that every question we asked her she didn't know the answer-and that's ok because I don't expect tour guides to know everything, but she didn't even go out of her way to find out the answer. Most of the time we were doing our own research and asking other people for information. She didn't seem interested in even being on the trip. One of the girls on the trip felt like she was going to faint because we hadn't stopped for food and the tour guide made a huge deal about having to stop for food and that it was really inconvenient. The girl who was ready to faint said "that's ok I'm just going to faint then don't worry about me" and the guide was like "ok lets keep going then." Thank goodness for great people on the trip otherwise it would've been a really unpleasant experience. I know there are quite a few people who are still writing their complaints about her. I am already looking at new Contiki trips, but I don't think I got my moneys worth by having her as a guide. We did have some trip delays. It was a 10 day trip and we spent one day in the airport and spent 2 extra nights in Argentina which set back everything else on the tour and minimized our time everywhere therein after. It is understandable and I don't hold her accountable, but having a bad guide on top made the situation rough.
When i got home i wrote contiki a complaint and it took them about 1 month to respond. They defended to tour guide and only offered 5% off my next tour. Very in sincere and does not help the waisted money and energy that i spent going on that tour. Next time i recommend EF COLLEGE BREAK TOUR COMPANY!!!!!
Where do I even begin.
The thing I like best about Contiki is that, when you go to a new country, you THINK you know what to expect. And then you get there, and you are exposed to places you never thought you'd see! I loved traveling by bus because you really got to see the beautiful landscapes of Spain. It takes you away from any stereotypes you have set up in your head (i.e. google images of Madrid, bull fighting, paella) and throws you out of your comfort zone. On our way to Bilbao, there were some landscapes that reminded me of Ireland. On our way through Granada, I felt like I was in Morocco! This country is so diverse and rich with culture.
Our tour manager, Jason, was PHENOMENAL. Seriously. There wasn't a single question that stumped him. I will never forget walking through the gothic quarters on a warm evening in Barcelona while he told us about the history of the city, including myths & legends. I learned SO much from him. He was also very good at showing us where to find all the touristy places that he knew we'd want to see at least once, and then encouraging us to go where the locals go. He knew which bars to go to for a more posh kind of vibe. He knew which bars to go to for dirt cheap liquor, good music, and crazy people.
As for accommodation, our hotels were always clean and in great locations - which is reaaally important when you're cabbing home later on! I wouldn't change a thing.
Ibiza... I honestly can't tell you much about because I don't remember much and that's the way to go, my friend. Partying will NEVER be the same for you.
Aside from all the attractions and nights out, I would also like to add that you get a lot of free time to explore the city yourself. You're informed of what time the bus is leaving and where the bus is leaving from. Usually, we'd have hours to just relax and do whatever
Overall, I'd say this tour is the perfect balance of culture, INSANE partying, and adventure. I've made life long friendships and this will definitely not be my last Contiki tour!
I chose to do this tour because I had been to many other places around the world. I was one of the three Aussies on this tour (which wasn't a surprise) - I was the only one who did the complete 24 day tour and it was with much regret that the other two Aussies didn't.
What an incredible adventure. I was asked by many why I was traveling around my own country, in which I replied, you tell me on our final day why I did this tour. The trip was full of WOW! moment, great sights and adventures. Life long friendships and memories were made in red dirt, rainy days, in rivers and in backpacker hotels and pubs.
This tour was so Australian, and everyone loved every moment of it.
Uluru (Ayers Rock) had always been on my bucket list and now it is ticked off. The 6am wake up couldn't phase me, or the continuous, unexpected rain. We got to see something that happens very rarely.
The East Coast of Australia is incredible. I have already worked out if I wanted to trade my life in Melbourne, where I would go. The activities that are there for your choosing are incredible -- I went white water rafting on the Tully River and I would recommend it to each adn every person in the world, even if you cant swim.
This tour will always hold a special place in my heart. It was so exciting, it made me appreciate my country so much more, and really made me realise how lucky I am to be Australia.
This was my first contiki trip. I loved all the sites and the guided tours were excellent. However this tour is not for the faint hearted, it is a world wind tour and you spend a lot of time on the bus/coach. I would not recommend the optional dinners as they were mediocre, I cancelling the final dinner which I'm so glad I did as many people complained about it.
Overall this is a good, fast way of seeing many beautiful sites and meeting some great people.
Best trip ever! I've met lots of new people and was an awesome experience! Worth the money and pace!!! I highly recommend this trip :)
From start to finish, Costa Rica Unplugged and my first Contiki experience were awesome! I went solo, and got really lucky with my fantastic and friendly group. Overall the tour was well-organized and action-packed.
Highlights: boat ride in/out of Tortuguero and the whole Tortuguero experience. Ziplining in Monteverde. Hanging out at the beautiful beach in Manuel Antonio. Hot springs in La Fortuna. Night out in Monteverde. Waterfall stop near La Fortuna.
The accommodation were great - better than expected, including the tent suites. I had envisioned spiders creeping down the walls, and instead the tents were bug-proof (as long as you are diligent about keeping the screens zipped) and cozy. The hot water worked at all of our hotels. Probably the only shocking thing I encountered was a huge bat flapping around my bathroom at the La Fortuna hotel at 3am.... must've gotten in with the cleaners. Many of the rooms had mini-fridges and air-conditioning (but not all).
Our tour guide, Allan, and driver, Felix, were friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. Allan was hilarious - and has a great knowledge of the plants & animals of Costa Rica.
For the most part, I enjoyed the ME Time Optionals and found them to be worth the money. In particular, the canyoneering and zip-lining were great! The sea-kayaking was fun, and the catamaran booze cruise can't be missed (although the drinks are watered down). The whitewater rafting was disappointing, perhaps just because I've rafted way better rivers before.... the water level was quite low and we spent way too much time getting stuck on rocks in lame Class 2 rapids. But it's included, so enjoy the float down the river! The ATVs were fun, but too many rules - they don't let you break out of line or go very fast.
Throughout the trip I was impressed at how much was included - meals, activities, etc. The food was delicious. Sure it's beans & rice a lot, but the food is nicely prepared and there are plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.
The travel days are not overly arduous. They make frequent stops for food/bathroom breaks, and I think the longest haul on the bus was about 4 hours from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio...and honestly by then we enjoyed the nap time.
This trip is good value for money and it's certainly never boring. You see so much of this beautiful country in just 12 days, and you really get a sense of what Costa Rica is all about, how people live and the culture. Loved every moment! :)
This trip was insane! The whole vibe and the atmosphere in Ireland around St Pattys day is nuts! Met some amazing people on this trip from all over the world and had an amazing time partying with them for the weekend! Cam needs to be commended for his excellent leadership skills, and I want to thank him for organising the things he did for us, especially the traditional Irish music and dance concert. The guiness distillery was cool, as was Cam's guided tour of dublin city!
The Generator Hostel was a little more out of the action than I would have preferred but we were more than happy to rug up and make the walk in. Also it was unfortunate that the generator did not have a kitchen in order for guests to cook which would have helped people, like myself, travelling more on a budget.
Other than those small points, such an awesome experience!
I went on this tour with my 2 best friends and it was the most amazing experience i have ever had in my life. This was my first Contiki and first time in Europe and overseas without my family. I was slightly nervous at first, as i can be a bit shy, but having my best friends with me helped. I was surprised by how quick everyone on the Contiki becomes your family! Of course you probably won't get along with everyone, but my tour had 52 people plus our guide and driver, and i love them all! Tammy our tour manager was amazing and so much fun, she was goofy and funny and made an effort with everyone, and Ana our driver is the craziest coolest chick EVER!! It was a hard 29 days, with the long bus rides, late nights, bedbugs and rushing around, but it was worth every second. I got to see so much and know exactly where i want to go next. The food was great, especially at the campsites; it was like having a home cooked meal! The accommodation was what i expected and that was fine, but be prepared for long elevator waits and dragging your suitcase up some stairs. I have the best memories from this trip and love seeing my old Contiki family, i DEFINITELY recommend everyone do this tour, you'll love it!!
I did this trip February 2014. It was amazing because not only did you get the beach-side of mexico but you also got the cultural-side. I did and saw a lot of very cool things and I loved every minute of it. All I can say negative is that you will be one of the few leaving early because MOST people do the Mexico Grande tour (same tour exactly but also they do Cancun) everyone says Cancun was amazing and I felt I missed out. If you can afford it, do the Grande, but if you need a short-n-sweet time with just enough blend of culture, site seeing, adventure and nightlife Mexico is awesome! (plus, our tour guide Ish was amazing and i never felt alone or unsafe)
Any questions? Feel free to message me! I'd be glad to help out :)
Overall a very good tour.
But stay ready for the next departure.. i mean, there is very few time to dedicate to a single thing and sometimes it seems to perform a run between a place and another.
Nice and friendly people. i suggest to take this trip in conjunction with ireland.
This trip truly is an adventure! A lot of fun, but also educational. I love architecture so that was a treat. The group I traveled with were great to meet and get to know. They helped make the trip. The tigers are hard to resist if you get the chance of course. I went during the water festival, and ended up celebrating a little bit w/ the owners of a closed restaurant I unwittingly wandered into. Definitely an experience I'll never forget. I would definitely recommend it.
Good for those who want to see a lot in a small amount of time.
Wasn't really a party trip, more of a bucket list trip!
The knowledge of the Tour Manager was second to none, althought it was Winter, some might see this as a hinderance - but we didn't - our tour was lucky with only one day that it rained (while in Venice!). But we were very lucky with the weather, was mostly clear blue skies all other days, and then travelling into Italy, it was lightly snowing which was cool for all the Aussies who hadn't seen snow before!
Great trip to tick off most of the 'must sees' in Europe - be prepared for the yearning of wanting to come back to see more, and potentially in the Summer!
Truly loved this tour, being my second Contiki, I thought I knew what I was in for - I didn't! Going in Winter was a great chioce, as the sun was still shining everyday, then in Tahoe it was picturesque as we snowmobiled thru Hope Valley.
Truly amazing time, do all the options!!
We partied most nights which was amazing, drunk out of red cups, had party buses/limos and danced our way thru the night at Vegas night club 52 stories high!
The accomodation was consistently fantastic - the most comfy bed was in Vegas, where we only had about 6hours sleep over 2 nights!! Almost seemed like a waste haha

Until now, there hasn't been a general fluorescent dye that scientists could use to stain the material secreted by cells and view it under a confocal microscope. This extracellular material plays a key role in the fate of cells, including stem cell differentiation and cancer progression. Current dyeing methods, including antibody-targeted staining, have been limited to visualizing one component or only certain kinds of tissues. But now a research team led by Jie Shen at . . .

By: Emmanuel Tio
I am having problem with my study of the Bible. I think I will be needing prayers in order to fulfill what God wants me to do with the Sacred Scriptures. I hope for your prayers in the future.
I can't explain what God did with a Zondervan Bible I received from my relative. I haven't purchased one ever since birth but Bibles arrived voluntarily. I saw once instance the list of the Kings in the Old Testament. The list mysteriously vanished from the almost-the-middle part of the Bible. It was transferred in the introduction part and was presented in front of me with smaller fonts.
I don't know what god wants me to do with this kind of experience. I am praying to Him but I still can't grasp what He wants me to do up until now. Things change easily and I am surprised that even Bible has its own "transience." It was magic!
Another thing I can't firmly understood is the presence of Jubal and Musi in the Bible. I was asked to teach high school music in Alitagtag, Batangas and I was able to research on something to teach using the Bible. I have nothing to teach that time and Only God knows why I used Bible Explorer to be my guide in teaching music for 230 high school students. The job was tough and I ended up with four lung disorders after a few hours of lectures in their eight classrooms (including tuberculosis and lung infection). I have no salary that time and even guardian angels will not last long in that group. It was a very good experience on my part since doing the sacrifice for the love of God may be the best attitude for the poorest ones.
I heard angels' songs in the Jesus of Nazareth Hospital. I can't describe the beauty they could produce. They are invisible but I could feel the concern they have for hospital patients. They love so much and I know what God feels with their magnificent sounds in heaven. God wouldn't want me to die that early but I usually lose the strength to work for Him further.
Angels' songs cured me and was certified to have just asthma after the confinement. This was not the only event in my life with an encuentro con angelos. I also worked with SM Batangas before as a Piano Teacher and as usual, I lost my job after a few hours. I didn't totally lost the job but they felt angry when I did an absence with a piano student. I felt quite difficult to go to the store where I teach and I can't attend due to health difficulties (respiratory). It's not that I need some sort of pleasure or benefit to work for the corporation but I can't pretend to like the job by forcing myself to teach piano that time. I experience psychic coercion very, very much and almost died most of the time. I can't solve this problem up until now and I hope that God could help me work without coercion and fraud in the jobs in the future.
Encounters with angels in this mall were quite magical. I heard children's voices during the first years of SM Batangas in our province. There was an instance when I was using a laptop computer after teaching a piano student. I was hearing children's voices all around the food court. It was common for me to hear little children's voice especially inside the Basilica of Batangas. Sometimes I see the baby's bodies where little childrens' sounds came from but this time, SM Batangas didn't present the sources of children's sounds. I think they are puttis - little angels. They are kinds of angels under the hierarchy of Cherubims. They are watching all my moves in the SM areas and when the laptop reached the low-batt situation, I heard all of them with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh-sound. I went out of the mall afterwards for all of them are watching all the things I did with the laptop. They sounded very frustrated with the low-batt situation. They wanted me to use the laptop in SM but nowadays, I haven't received a sound from these little angels after a few months.
Please include me in your prayers. Even angels of darkness visit me once in a while giving me deadly disorders inside my parents' house. I love to be with them but I think, I could only see them face to face after death. They are flying perhaps for I hear them on the ceiling of the mall - not from below. I may be one of them before and fetching me to go back to heaven later. They don't want to kill me but giant angels may want to. I mean, gigantic shadows occupying my body once in a while. I sounded like them before and I think, my death is coming. I will be back in heaven perhaps after finishing my assignment in this planet. I don't know where to return. I just feel scared sometimes for I feel alone most of the time as if I have no companions in this world. I experience that thing ever since childhood. I feel very happy whenever I hear voice of angels but nowadays, I haven't heard much of them. Early years of SM Batangas were amazing but less amazing nowadays. I felt the anger of God pushed them some place else and I feel very alone again.
I can't describe the happiness being with these invisible beings. My problem would be the absolute value of the happiness they bring - damnation. I don't believe in hell too much. I prefer to be burnt with seraphs. Are seraphs fires of hell? I think, they are - just cleaning everything to feel clean and happy again.
I hope I finish my assignment before I retire for I will be sent again if I will not. Please pray for all of us! We are suffering but we have no idea where to go sometimes.... I hope to be in heaven after the assignments.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

The Impact Of Oil Shocks On The G-7 Countries GDP Growth
This paper examines the impact of oil shocks on the G-7 countries using the time series data from 1975 to 2007. The pooled model was employed; from the results the authors found that oil shocks has no negative impact on the G-7 countries, due to the flexible labor markets, improvements in monetary policy and smaller share of oil in production, Indirect Tax Analogy, and flexible inflation targeting regimes. Since the discovery of oil in the US during the 19 century oil was a major source of disturbance on the global economy. The changes in oil prices were an important subject for many writers that examine the impact on oil price shocks on the economy in different aspects.

Canelo's Brother, Victor Manuel, is Accused of Murder

Allegedly Victor Manuel shot and killed Luis Enrique Gama Partida on the 10th of November in the municipality of Juanacatlán. The rivalry between Victor Manuel and the victim had been brewing for some time. They had an argument during Cinco De Mayo weekend, which resulted in a street fight.

Froch: I Broke Groves Down, Ref Saved His Career!
By Nate Williams
There have been many times in boxing where we have we seen great fights spoiled by the controversy of an official's decision. Last night, referee Howard Foster took centre stage in Carl Froch's WBA and IBF Super middleweight world title defence against George Groves in Manchester after the champion retained his belts with a questionable ninth round stoppage. The intervention left Froch, 32-2 (23), relieved, Groves, now 19-1 (15), dejected and the fans in attendance and watching on Sky Sports Box Office questioning what could and would have happened had Groves negotiated his way through the storm.
Froch (167¾lbs) was floored by a thunderous right hand from his challenger in the opening round as the 20,000 spectators inside the Arena leapt to their feet in uproar. Groves (166½lbs) then delivered his "blueprint" to the letter winning the jab exchanges and constantly tagging the Nottingham man with sickening right hands that put him ahead on all three judges scorecards after eight rounds (78-73, 76-75, 76-75).
However, after a flurry of frustration punches from Froch, Groves stumbled off the ropes and into the arms of Foster, who made a debatable split-second decision to end the fight early.
The 25 year-old former British and Commonwealth champion, who was booed into the ring and cheered out of it, looked completely fine and on steady legs as Foster was quickly escorted out of the ring under a jacket by security.
"I feel it was an unjust stoppage," said Groves. "I feel I was very unlucky and I think 20,000 people would agree with me. I don't know why the fight was stopped. The shots weren't landing clean, Carl rushes in and he might have knocked me off balance, but I wasn't nowhere near as hurt as he was in many of the rounds.
"He was in trouble in the first round, I had him on his backside and I had him backed up every round, dictating the pace and in my opinion, I pretty much won all of the rounds. In the ninth round, he was really emptying the tank and I was happy to let him do that because he wasn't landing clean shots.
"There's no way I should have been stopped and as soon as I realised what had happened, I didn't expect him to stop it, I just thought he was trying to break it up. I had a clear head, my legs were under me but I think I'm a victim of my "chinny" reputation and I'm a victim of Carl Froch's supposed punch power and warrior instincts.
He added: "I'll have to review it, but I feel the referee got it wrong and it's a bitter pill for me to swallow."
However, Froch thinks that Foster should be praised for his decision, as he believes the man in the middle prevented a possibly fatal ending to the Londoner's 20-fight career. "I had him in round nine it's as simple as that," he said.
"If the fight had gone on, he would of got knocked out one hundred percent. If the referee didn't get in the way and hold him up, he was going to be on the floor in a couple more shots and he could have been badly hurt. At 25, this fight could have been career ending.
"He was tough and he was a good fighter, but I broke him down in rounds seven, eight and then stopped him in nine. I forced the stoppage, I beat George Groves up in round nine and the referee jumped in and saved his career.
"From where I was standing, I had a couple of free hits and I was about to hit him with more but you don't want to see a 25-year-old kid knocked unconscious and carried out on a stretcher. The referee was six inches away and you can see what he's looking at. He looks into the fighter's eyes and he makes a very experienced and very educated decision as to whether or not he jumps in.
"George fought a fantastic fight and he's a better fighter than what I thought he was with a bigger heart than what I thought he had. I've got a lot of respect for him."
After a brutal round after round war between two British 168lb stars arguably unseen since the days of Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, there is already talk of a rematch.
Groves is obviously keen on the idea while the three-time, multi-belt world champion is at this stage unconvinced. "I'd love a rematch," said Groves.
"I was more than confident that Carl Froch wasn't going to hear that final bell because I was buzzing him round after round. I'd love a rematch and I would take it again tomorrow."
Froch said: "I think I've earned myself a position where I don't have to offer anyone a rematch. I've fought everybody and I will fight anybody. I said to Eddie Hearn after the fight: "If the rematch makes sense why not?" I'm not going to say no if it makes sense to do it."
*Send any thoughts or questions you have about the fight (including personal scorecards) to @nate_williams23 on Twitter.
Froch recieved some obvious favoritism and it was arguably a case of obvious corruption, especially when you include the judges' scorecards. That being said, I think Froch was on the way to a stopping him regardless.Comment by kingpinas on 11-25-2013

And now the market is excited over these companies printing stock certificates:"09:45 am : Stocks open on a high note, with each of the major indices posting a gain of at least 1%. Headlines this morning were seemingly negative.UBS (UBS) announced $19 billion in write-downs--bringing its total write-down to $33 billion. It also is seeking shareholder approval to raise roughly $15.1 billion in fresh capital. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank (DB) announced a write-down of $3.9 billion. Lastly, Lehman Brothers (LEH) is raising $4 billion in a preferred stock offering to shore up its capital position.These stocks are actually trading higher on the news, which in turn, is lifting the financial sector to a strong 4.1% gain. Traders are betting that the worst of the subprime mess may now be over, and were pleased to hear that the Lehman Brothers offering had higher than expected demand."

AIKEN, S.C. -- The work continues to clean up crime in an Aiken neighborhood.
On Thursday night, Aiken Public Safety officers raided three homes in Crosland Park during a drug investigation. Investigators found drugs and drug paraphernalia.
The homes were on Schroder Avenue, Vincent Street and Sommers Avenue.
In all, three adults and one juvenile were arrested. Those arrested are 25-year-old Nelson L. Williams, 24-year-old Lancy Lee Cheatham and 22-year-old Catherine Adams. The juvenile is not being identified.
Officers are charging Williams with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and possession within intent to distribute within a half mile of a school or park. Cheatham is facing two charges: simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Investigators are only charging Adams and the juvenile with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Aiken County deputies and North Augusta Public Safety officers played in a role in making these arrests. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms "RAGE" Task Force helped with executing search warrants.
Jake Mahoney, spokesperson for the Aiken Public Safety Department said, "The residents of Crosland Park have told us that they do not want their neighborhood to be known as a haven for drug dealers. They want to feel safe in their homes and safe on their streets. Taking away the dealers and the distributors of drugs will go a long way towards making the neighborhood safer."

The author at 70 catalogs how she's acting her age
It seems as though everyone I know is talking about death. We are also talking about how, to our surprise, death seems more like the houseguest who won't leave than the grim reaper. That's the big difference about being over 70. Death is more of a presence — an active presence — and less of a threat than it was when we were 60. As my friend Robin puts it, when time is running out, we are blessed with the "gift of urgency."

One of the most persistent and misguided assumptions about the relationship of younger and older workers is that they are adversaries – competing for the same jobs and incompatible in work habits. This presumption of intergenerational hostility ignores the productive synergy that happens when their skills and work styles mix and energy meets experience, technological fluency meets accumulated people skills, ambition meets not sweating the small stuff.

A Founding Feminist's review of five issues that still need work
In 1972, when I joined Ms.magazine — the exciting and very controversial new "women's lib" publication — I had just gotten my "MRS degree," which was considered an honor, except that being married meant that I could not get a bank loan without my husband's signature. Also, back then, I wasn't allowed in most restaurants wearing pants; job listings were segregated under "help wanted – male" and "help wanted – female" and I had had an illegal abortion.

The notion of "Having It All" has been with us since the early days of the women's movement. It was maddening to us at Ms. magazine to see how the empowering-sounding phrase was used against us by the individuals and institutions that had a vested interest in the status quo. By highlighting the impossibility of having it all professionally and personally, the question distracted from the real issue — that women are entitled to have equal access to it all.

Last week I spent an exhilarating evening exploring the Encore message with Marci Alboher and close to 200 people who had come to the New York Public Library to find out more about her book The Encore Career Handbook. In our presentation, Marci covered the nuts and bolts of how to envision and find work that matters to you in the second half of life, and I tried to connect the Encore Movement with the Women's Movement – in which I have spent both halves of my working life.

Back in 1972, when I signed on at Ms. magazine, our mission was to document the history women were making every day. Early detractors, like newsman Harry Reasoner, dismissed those efforts by pronouncing the material too sparse to sustain a magazine for more than a few issues. But Ms. kept on filling its pages. It became the place to find out about women athletes, women scientists and executives as well as the brave rebels who were speaking truth to power — women who went unremarked in the rest of the media.
Also unremarked were women whose accomplishments had been lost to history, because no matter how awe-inspiring a woman's story would have been if she were a man, it was rarely deemed worth including in the record of human accomplishments; if it had been suggested back in the seventies, the phrase "women's history" would have been considered an oxymoron.

She spoke truth to power – every day
Maybe it's because she was loud and opinionated, and I was chronically afraid to make trouble; maybe it was her moral courage; maybe it was because she kept fighting way after others gave up. Or because she was very funny. Or because pushy and rough as she could be, she always spoke of her husband Martin and her daughters with great tenderness Maybe it was her omnipresent hats. Bella Abzug, who died in 1998 – too soon to be interviewed for MAKERS – is definitely my hero.

We are five former Ms. magazine colleagues who have been having dinner together once a month for over 20 years. We like to try new places, which is a good thing, since I am not sure we would be welcome back to a restaurant after a visit. We generally sit there for three or four hours, order an assortment of appetizers, laugh uproariously — and pay with five credit cards!
Each brings her own kind of support, encouragement, empathy and humor to the table. We tease each other about the very traits we cherish. There is the Do-Gooder; the Fierce One; the Peacemaker; the Pragmatic Midwesterner and me ("the Terminally Modest One," according to the Fierce One, whom I consulted). Collectively we are more than the sum of our parts.
