The 10 Greatest Wrestler Glamour Shots of All Time
#5. "The Prom Vikings"
Everything about this photo is perfection, namely their poses and the jarring contrast between their bleached-white suits and their sun-kissed mullets. Their heads are so damn orange that they appear to be levitating, like they're the homecoming court of Sleepy Hollow Prep. A night of passion with the Fabulous Ones would be like getting double-teamed by Moose from Archie. (Well, Moose and his brother, uh, Elk?)
#4. "Malibu Sherpas"
Remember that poignant-but-goofy-as-hell scene in The Wrestler where Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei accuse Kurt Cobain of ending the 1980s? Well, the above photo is what Arcade Fire would look like if Nirvana had never existed.
#3. "Key Party Alpha"
As you can see here, the Fabulous Ones are posing with fellow 1980s heartthrob grapplers the Rock 'n' Roll Express. WILL THEY SWAP PARTNERS? Anyone who gave this magazine but a perfunctory glance would assume that they'd stumbled upon a periodical either dedicated to exceedingly flamboyant Tennessee-area law firms or crafty swingers who make their own clothing out of old towels and wrapping paper. In any case, I'm guessing audiences packed arenas just to see if the Rock 'n' Roll Express would finally show up to a bout dressed in leotards made of Fruit Roll-Ups.
Memphis Wrestling/Flickr
Hot damn, Lisa Turtle had a posse.
#2. "Man Napkins"
At some unknown point in the history of professional wrestling, you know a manager grimly handed his up-and-coming tag team the above photo in a 12-by-18 manila envelope emblazoned with the words YOUR NEXT MATCH in big block letters. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when that went down.
#1. The Fabulous Ones' Magical Music Videos
Of course, the Fabulous Ones' beefcake portraiture is only half of their legacy. The duo pioneered the use of wrestling music videos as promotional tools. And if YouTube videos that promoted neuron death were National Historic Landmarks, this shit right here would be Monticello.
What's awesome about this two-minute music video is that maybe nine scattershot seconds indicate that these dudes are wrestlers. The rest of it is mostly the Fabulous Ones expressionlessly drinking sherry in the bath or lounging in a hayloft. Anyone flipping channels in the early '80s would assume this was a paid program, jointly funded by Tennessee's influential beard, hay, and fedora lobbies.
This here's what they call "The Chattanooga Iron Triangle."
In case the plot in that music video was too hard to follow, here are the Fabulous Ones hanging out in a closet for 160 seconds with nothing but a strobe light and sequined tuxedos. If Marvel Studios had only $15 to spend on Thor: The Dark World, you can bet it would look like this.
And do you want to know the secret of the Fabulous Ones' workout regimen? It's easy! Get mostly naked and jog around an indoor track with your best friend.
And finally, it's worth mentioning that the Fabulous Ones weren't the only Memphis-area tag team to splash their thoraxes with buttermilk and stare wistfully into the horizon. Another duo known as the New Generation used this formula as well, but they incorporated topless carriage rides into their repertoire (a perplexingly long shot of such kicks off at 2:15).
And so concludes today's column. If you found absolutely none of the above titillating, my gift to you is the equally garish Playboy's Roller Disco and Pajama Party TV special, which starred flugelhorn godhead Chuck Mangione and the noted sassy ventriloquist's dummy Madame.
I could only tolerate 30 seconds of this, so it's unclear if Madame takes off her top.

Kewanee artist Marc Nelson will present paintings from his graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" at the Quad Cities Arts Center from January 11 through February 15.
The project was inspired two years ago by Nelson's seventh-grade art students at Central Junior High, who encouraged him by saying they would "love to read Shakepeare" if Nelson translated the play into a graphic novel.
An opening reception will be held from 7 to 9 tonight at the Quad City Arts Center, 1715 Second Ave., Rock Island.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A Utah company with a proven track record for revitalization could soon be working to bring business to the city.
Service-Safety Director Ryan Estell last week outlined his plan for the city to contract with Better City, LLC, based in Ogden, Utah and started by the former mayor of that city.
Estell said Matthew Godfrey saw how Ogden was becoming run down. The city was a major railroad stop until the rail lines were removed, "cutting off its lifeline," he said, much the same as East Liverpool after the slow down of local potteries and closure of Crucible Steel.
"They had trouble re-defining themselves," Estell said of Ogden.
Over a period of 15 years, with Godfrey at the helm, the city was revitalized and when he decided to rejoin the private sector, officials from other communities began asking Godfrey for his expertise in revitalizing their towns, leading to formation of Better City, LLC.
Local architect Scott Shepherd was working with a Pittsburgh organization regarding a possible housing study for East Liverpool when he made contact with Godfrey, who was invited to East Liverpool.
Godfrey toured with city officials, state Rep. Craig Newbold and others to see what it has to offer. Since then, Estell has stayed in touch with him and Shepherd managed to raise $25,000 in pledges from local foundations to hire his company.
"It's enough to get us started," Estell said Wednesday, saying it is anticipated more money can be raised.
Godfrey cast a favorable eye on the city, according to Estell, who said the consultant has declined to tackle revitalization in some communities due to lack of potential, but that wasn't how he viewed East Liverpool.
Estell hopes to have a contract prepared by tonight, when council's economic development committee will meet to go over the proposal. If it agrees, the contract will be forward for council's consideration at its Dec. 17 meeting.
If council opts to sign a contract with Better City, initial steps will include gathering demographics and an inventory of available buildings and land, and Estell said, "Once they know what's here, they will start working on what they think is best to locate here. This is not just another study being done."
In other communities, Estell said, one of the changes made was to rental housing, noting, "We can't draw workers without decent housing."
The last comprehensive study of this sort done in the city that Estell could located was completed in the 1960s, which will be provided to the firm, and he said, "They do everything, but we have to be open and willing to work with them."
Preliminary discussion indicated the focus will be on the downtown area and the former Riverview Florist property recently purchased and annexed into the city.
If council approves the contract, the firm could start as early as the first of next year, with the first phase taking between six and 12 months. Estell said that, in some communities, Better City was able to bring in a new business venture within 90 days.
Obviously, the company makes most of its money on such deals by bringing in development, with Estell saying it would receive a small percentage of any business it manages to attract from which the city receives revenue, such as from leasing the Riverview or other city-owned property.
"The city hasn't had anyone working on economic development or revitalization. I'm not trained in economic development. The Port Authority has helped where it can. This is the next step to be proactive," Estell explained.

10 days Mt. Elgon Crossover
Mountain Cuisine: The menus for all climbs are specially prepared to provide a balanced diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, plenty of protein and carbohydrates. We have tried to choose food items that are easiest to digest at high altitude. Our cooks undergo extensive training and we have ongoing workshops to review menus. The cooks are particularly vigilant in their hygiene practices as contracting stomach bugs is common for visitors to the developing world.
Dinners are typically a main course with vegetable and salad. Chicken and fish are served at some of the days during the climb, with pastas and rice dishes being served in the middle of the climb while up high. Lunches are often on the trail and usually consist of cold cuts and vegetables laid out on a table so you can make your own sandwich. Fresh hot vegetable soups are served at every meal, and packet soup is available on request between meals as is coffee and tea. Breakfast is your choice: granola, toast, fruit, eggs, and sometimes pancakes or French toast. While hiking some people have a favorite snack that they like; it is a good idea to bring this from home.
Fit to trek. The Machame Route is a strenuous, but not technical, climb and no mountain-climbing experience is necessary. But there's no avoiding the steep ascents and high altitudes that make robust physical fitness (and a minimum age of 16 years) a prerequisite for this trip. You'll want to consult your physician before undertaking this unforgettable adventure. Alternative independent itineraries. These include the more remote anddemanding Rongai, Shira, Umbwe and Western Breach routes - ask for details.

Family Law Pathway
Family law covers a wide range of issues involving family and domestic relationships. The most common of these issues include (1) divorce, (2) child custody, (3) child support, (4) spousal support, (5) visitation, (6) prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, (7) guardianship, and (8) the termination and establishment of parental rights. A family law attorney may also help clients with legal separations, annulments, adoptions, conservatorship proceedings, and domestic violence issues.
Most family law attorneys work in small firms or as solo practitioners. A family law attorney's daily tasks include counseling clients, handling phone calls, gathering information, drafting pleadings and briefs, and making court appearances. Because family law cases require regular attention, a family law attorney must be diligent and responsive to clients' needs. As Neil Forester '04, an attorney in Downey Brand's family law division, observes, "The kind of people who tend to gravitate to this area are people who have a lot of empathy, down to earth sort of people who are more interested in resolving conflicts than pushing paper."

The complexity of family law issues creates a high demand for attorneys who can navigate through an intimidating set of rules and procedures for their clients who are often in contentious, high-stress, and time-sensitive situations. In private practice, divorce cases often constitute the majority of the family law attorney's work. For each divorce case, the lawyer must guide the client through the division of property, the setting of child and spousal support, and decisions on child custody and visitation. In many cases, this requires the lawyer to have an understanding of business law, tax law, real estate law, employee benefits law, and estate planning.
Additionally, the family lawyer will benefit from an ability to earn the client's trust, listen attentively, empathize, and to remain objective in the face of highly emotional situations. "The biggest challenge is to make sure you don't become your client," notes Jennifer Hemmer '08. "Your client's issues are your client's issues, and your job is to work your client through those issues in the best way possible."
Family law attorneys note that their practice requires a great deal of patience, but is also very rewarding. "I never helped someone [in my other jobs]," says Ms. Hemmer, who had a successful career in sports marketing before she came to law school. "What I really love about family law is that I help someone every day."
Skills often found in family law attorneys:
- Ability to empathize
- Client counseling
- Communication
- Entrepreneurship
- Negotiation
- Patience
- Trial advocacy

Practice Settings & Clients
Practice Settings
Small firms and solo offices make up the majority of family law practitioners. However, government agencies, large firms, and public interest organizations also play a role in family law. Federal and state departments of health and human services, prosecutors' offices, and public guardian offices practice some types of family law, for example, usually dealing with issues of termination of parental rights, child support collection, and guardianship proceedings. Some large firms have family law departments to help address their existing clients' family law needs. Public interest organizations sometimes assist indigent clients with matters such as probate, immigration or even the drafting of simple wills.
Family law attorneys represent individuals, not corporations or other organizations. Some family law attorneys represent mostly (or exclusively) clients with a lot of wealth and a large number of assets, while others focus their practice on people of more modest means or are appointed by the court to represent indigents. In cases involving the termination of parental rights, an attorney may be appointed by the court to serve as a guardian ad litem who will represent the child's interests or the attorney may be hired to represent the parents against whom the allegations of abuse or neglect have been brought. Adoption attorneys usually represent adoptive parents but may also represent birth parents.

I forgot to mention that the first time we drove to Canton, just less than two weeks ago, we turned on the radio to see what kind of stations they had as we got closer to the city. Landing on this*, at that very point in the song, the very moment we were getting off on our exit.
I'm a sign person. It was a sign.
I already have a favorite coffee place and even have a couple punches on the loyalty card. (The first two times we were there I didn't know they had one.)
We were back this weekend to house hunt. There are two houses that have our hearts. One is 1920's style and the other is 1950's and they breathe their eras from floor to ceiling. To keep from falling apart over worry and want, I know our house will find its way to us so in the meantime, I'm getting this house ready to find its new family.

When asked about our race, answering "Human Race" might be best. Recent studies of the human DNA show cultural concepts of "race" to have no scientific counterpart. That is, human beings with varying skin pigments and other superficial characteristics are not separable into species as are birds or ants or bears.
Modern realities of transportation and commerce are creating one world. If we do it right, including everyone, excluding no one, it can be a peaceful world. Peace on earth, goodwill to all people everywhere, is a goal attainable.
How can we justify ourselves if we fail to try? Regrettably, Senator Trent Lott's recent and not so recent blatantly racist remarks have revealed the pretense by him and by many other republicans that they now embrace civil rights.

quote: During the quarter ending June 2012, Apple disclosed sales of 1.3 million Apple TV units — up 170 percent from the same quarter a year before — but only after being prompted about it during the question-and-answers section of the results call. The figures brings Apple TV sales for the fiscal year to 4 million devices — roughly corresponding to the introduction of the 1080p version. Since introducing the $99 compact version of the Apple TV, the company has sold 6.8 million units.Those numbers may not compare significantly to Apple's other hardware businesses — during the same period, Apple sold more than 44 million iPads, over 416 million iPhones, and more than 13 million Macs. But that's comparing (ahem) apples to oranges. How did Apple TV fare against other set-top streaming solutions?Pretty darn well. Roku is arguably one of the most successful video streaming solutions: and at $50, it's even cheaper than the Apple TV. Roku does not disclose sales figures, but in March 2012 Roku's CEO claimed the company was experiencing 132 percent year-on-year growth, and reports had put total sales at the time at around 2.5 million units. About 1.5 million of those sales were reportedly during 2011. Roku still seems very happy with its progress — and the company just announced it's locked in another $45 million to fund development and marketing.What about game consoles, which also offer streaming video? During the quarter ending in June, and Microsoft sold 1.1 million Xbox 360s, and Nintendo managed to sell about 710,000 Wii consoles. Sony's PlayStation 3 did better, selling 1.9 million units during its final fiscal quarter of 2011 (which ran into March 2012).So the Apple TV outsold the Xbox 360 and the Wii — although, it's worth noting the Wii is at the end of its life (with the Wii U already lined up to replace it) and the Xbox 360 has been on the market since 2005.

A 52-year-old Buffalo man stands accused of threatening to kill his wife if she didn't come home from work, police said.
Eugene Lawrence, of Peach Street, was charged with harassment, criminal possession of stolen property and felony criminal possession of a weapon, Buffalo police said Sunday.
Lawrence allegedly threatened to kill his wife about 2 p.m. Saturday if she didn't come home, police said. When B District officers went to investigate, they found a 22-caliber revolver in the couple's home, and later determined the gun had been stolen from the City of Olean, according to a police report.

Scientists at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center report the discovery of a novel type of cell division in human cells. They believe it serves as a natural back-up mechanism during faulty cell division.
"If we could promote this new form of cell division, which we call klerokinesis, we may be able to prevent some cancers from developing," says lead researcher Mark Burkard, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of hematology-oncology in the department of medicine at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. He presented the finding yesterday at the American Society for Cell Biology's annual conference in San Francisco.
Dr. Burkhard, a physician investigator who treats breast cancer patients, also studies polyploidy. About 14% of breast cancers and 35% of pancreatic cancers have three or more sets of chromosomes, instead of the usual two sets. Many other cancers have cells containing defective chromosomes rather than too many or too few.
"Our goal in the laboratory has been to find ways to develop new treatment strategies for breast cancers with too many chromosome sets," continued Dr. Burkhard.
The original goal of the current study was to make human cells that have extra chromosomes sets. But after following the accepted recipe, the researchers unexpectedly observed the new form of cell division. Until now, Dr. Burkard and most cell biologists today accepted a century-old hypothesis developed by German biologist Theodor Boveri, who studied sea urchin eggs. Boveri surmised that faulty cell division led to cells with abnormal chromosome sets, and then to the unchecked cell growth that defines cancer. With accumulated evidence over the years, most scientists have come to accept the hypothesis.
Normal cell division is at the heart of an organism's ability to grow from a single fertilized egg into a fully developed individual. More than a million-million rounds of division must take place for this to occur. In each division, one mother cell becomes two daughter cells. Even in a fully grown adult, many kinds of cells are routinely remade through cell division.
Dr/ Burkard and his team were making cells with too many chromosomes to mimic cancer. The scientists blocked cytokinesis with a chemical and waited to see what happened. "We expected to recover a number of cells with abnormal sets of chromosomes," explained Dr. Burkard.
The researchers found that, rather than appearing abnormal, daughter cells ended up looking normal most of the time. Contrary to Boveri's hypothesis, abnormal cell division rarely had long-term negative effects in human cells. So the group decided to see how the human cells recovered normal sets of chromosomes by watching with a microscope that had the ability to take video images.
"We started with two nuclei in one cell," continued Dr. Burkard. "To our great surprise, we saw the cell pop apart into two cells without going through mitosis."
Each of the two new cells inherited an intact nucleus enveloping a complete set of chromosomes. The splitting occurred, unpredictably, during a delayed growth phase rather than at the end of mitosis. The scientists did a number of additional experiments to carefully make sure that the division they observed was different than cytokinesis.
"We had a hard time convincing ourselves because this type of division does not appear in any textbook," noted Dr. Burkard.
Over time, they found that only 90% of daughter cells had recovered a normal complement of chromosomes. Dr. Burkard would like to leverage that statistic up to 99%. "If we could push the cell toward this new type of division, we might be able to keep cells normal and lower the incidence of cancer," he said.
Dr. Burkard now thinks that among all those rounds of cell division an organism goes through, every once in a while cytokinesis can fail. And that this new division is a back-up mechanism that allows cells to recover from the breakdown and grow normally. The group has dubbed the new type of division klerokinesis to distinguish it from cytokinesis.
In addition to his work on klerokinesis, Dr. Burkhard's lab seeks to advance cancer therapy by two approaches—candidate evaluation ("bottom-up") and therapeutic strategy ("top-down"). In the first approach, his team interrogates the function of specific kinases such as Plk1 to determine how these control human cell division and evaluate the potential worth as a cancer drug target. Using chemical genetics, Dr. Burkhard says they dispense with the "arduous task of up-front drug discovery" and simply mutate the target kinase to prepare for chemical interrogation of function.
In contrast, the top-down approach seeks to selectively target a unique characteristic of cancer cells that sensitize them to specific drugs. For example, Dr. Burkhard's group has identified compounds that specifically block the proliferation of cells which harbor excess number of chromosomes; such polyploid cells are commonly found in cancer. "Using the combination of these two approaches, we hope to identify new drug targets or allow improved selection of patients likely to benefit from existing treatments," he says.

Catalan Sausage With Mushrooms
SUCCESS FAVORS the persistent. Take this recipe, for instance, the third Slow Food Fast contribution from José Andrés. It evolved out of the initial failure of another dish, botifarra con alubias, a classic Catalan preparation of pork and beans. When the dish first appeared on the menu at Jaleo, the chef's Washington, D.C., tapas restaurant, diners just didn't take to it. Not to be daunted, Mr. Andrés tried pairing the botifarra, a mild sausage, with browned mushrooms, toasted pine nuts, stewed onions and sweet raisins. The result, botifarra con setas (sausage with mushrooms), was a hit.
The Chef: José Andrés
His Restaurants: 15 around the U.S., including the newly reopened Minibar by José Andrés, in Washington, D.C.
What He's Known For: Delivering traditional tapas and cutting-edge cuisine with equal finesse
This sweet and savory tapa is wonderfully forgiving. "When you cook a sausage, the skin sometimes breaks and the ground meat comes apart," said Mr. Andrés, who removes the meat from the casing before cooking. Once freed, the ground meat gets sliced into thick rounds and pan-fried. Then the onions stew slowly in the pork drippings and a splash of sweet wine provides extra depth. The rest comes together quickly: In go the mushrooms, raisins and pine nuts, followed by a sprinkle of parsley. Do take care while toasting the nuts, though, as their high fat content makes them susceptible to burning.
Jaleo diners eventually came around to the botifarra con alubias. "Sometimes you need to give dishes a nap," Mr. Andrés said. "At the moment botifarra con alubias was taking a nap, I did the botifarra con setas." Served with a simple salad, it's a near-effortless meal. But like most things that appear easy, there's a back story of trial and error.
—Kitty Greenwald

The Grammy-winning singer hosted, performed – and was nearly auctioned off – at the Black Ball "REDUX," an annual event for her organization Keep A Child Alive, which assists those affected by AIDS in Africa, held at New York's legendary Apollo Theatre. The event, which was rescheduled due to Hurricane Sandy, honored Oprah Winfrey for her work in Africa and India and raised $2.9 million.
Keys took to the red carpet in a floor-length, form-fitting Alaia gown and could hardly control her excitement over her new album Girl on Fire, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts this week. "It's a joy that I can't even express," the singer said of her fifth chart-topping album.
And she was just as enthused over the recent Grammy nominations announced this week. Asked who she's rooting for, Keys started singing R&B star Frank Ocean's hit single "Thinking About You." "I'm so excited for him!" she said.
Padma Lakshmi, Bonnie Raitt, Gayle King and Keys's husband Swizz Beatz also hit the carpet before heading inside for the show, where guests dined on Moroccan lamb chops and steak tartare taquitos, crafted by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson.
Before taking the stage with Jennifer Hudson and Raitt, Keys gave the award to Winfrey, who had never been to the famous Harlem theatre. But it was during the auction, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, that the singer got an offer she had to refuse.
One wealthy guest said he'd up his bid from $100,000 to $250,000 for a trip to South Africa – if Keys would join him and his friends. "I'll go for a little more," Keys quipped. – Janine Rayford

LINCOLN, Neb.
Tim Miles just wrapped up his postgame radio interview when a bunch of pep band members, cheerleaders and other students started chanting, �Coach Miles, Coach Miles, Coach Miles.�
The kids were imploring him to join them in shooting a video of the latest dance craze, the �Harlem Shake.�
Miles was in good spirits because Nebraska just beat Penn State, so he gladly obliged. It took all of 45 seconds. The YouTube video almost has 140,000 views in less than two weeks.
One might wonder what mingling with the student body has to do with his job as the Cornhuskers� first-year coach.
There are two answers: nothing, and everything.
Miles isn�t winning many games. No one expected him to, at least not yet.
He is, however, winning over boosters, fans and students, too. That�s a good place to start for a coach at a school with a dearth of basketball tradition and where interest in the program has been lukewarm for decades.
�He�s very shrewd,� longtime radio play-by-play man Kent Pavelka said. �He�s pushing every button there is to push out there.�
Miles built his reputation as a fan-friendly coach at Colorado State, where he shot zany videos promoting the Rams and began his practice of tweeting his thoughts at halftime. The program was down when he took over at CSU, so he did all he could to compete for attention with the Denver pro sports teams and the mountains.
There aren�t nearly as many distractions in the Cornhusker State, he said.
�Here, at least, we have a captive audience,� he said. �They just need to be stirred. That�s our job, to put out the type of program that people love watching. Husker fans will support quality, and they will support success. It also is my job to be the front man for the program, whether that be to speak to the masses or to promote our program. There is a CEO element of the job, no doubt about it.�
One of Miles� first tasks is to make Nebraska basketball relevant. The wins might not come in bunches immediately, but he�s well on his way to cultivating a supportive environment outside the walls of the team�s Hendricks Training Center headquarters.
�I haven�t talked to an ex-player or alum who doesn�t love the guy,� said Beau Reid of Lincoln, who played for the Huskers from 1988 to 1991. �He�s everything he�s supposed to be. He�s genuine, very excitable and passionate � which is what it takes to sell this place.�
If all goes according to his plan, the Huskers will become more entertaining to watch as new players come in the next couple years. Miles said several five-star recruits have visited and gone away impressed. The trick is to get them to sign.
Nebraska�s selling points are impressive. The year-old practice facility is the envy of most college teams and even some in the NBA. Next year, the 16,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena will open in downtown Lincoln, replacing the Devaney Center.
�State-of-the-art stuff means a lot to recruits,� Miles said. �We have a great gear contract. That means a lot to young people, too. What we don�t have is this steadfast tradition that�s been there over and over and over. But these young people have a short memory, when history is almost instantaneous, when your timeline is how you remember things, so to speak, whether it be Facebook or Twitter. They want to be part of something that�s up and coming and something that�s cool.�
As it is, the Cornhuskers (12-14, 3-10 Big Ten) have conference wins over Penn State � twice � and Northwestern.
Miles knew he would take his lumps this season. He has eight scholarship players on the active roster, with seven of them in the rotation. Three players who could have helped are redshirting, and two scholarships are unused.
Though the Huskers are offensively challenged � one of their top scorers, Ray Gallegos, went 0-for-13 against Michigan State last weekend � they play decent defense and have been able to slow the pace in order to keep a lot of games from getting out of hand.
Dave Hoppen of Omaha, the Huskers� all-time scoring leader and a season-ticket holder, acknowledged he didn�t know what to think when Miles was hired to replace the fired Doc Sadler last March.
�I wasn�t jumping up and down or doing cartwheels,� Hoppen said. �After having a couple chances to meet him and having heard him speak quite a few times, I�m very impressed with him. The cupboard was pretty bare when he got here, and the record still isn�t great, but I can tell he can coach.�
Miles came to Nebraska known for building programs at the Division I, II and NAIA levels. His CSU teams increased their wins each of his five seasons; last season, the Rams went 20-12 and earned their first NCAA Tournament bid in nine years.
The question is whether Miles can have similar success in the Big Ten, which is the nation�s toughest basketball conference this season.
That answer won�t be known for years. In the meantime, at least people are talking about the Huskers. Nebraska�s home attendance of 10,051 is slightly ahead of a year ago, but the average of 11,511 for home games this month is up more than 1,300 compared with February 2012.
�Tim�s personality has brought people into the program to give it a look, and to think that maybe this time they have the equation right,� Omaha radio show host Gary Sharp said.
It�s been a long time since the Huskers� basketball team has been relevant in these parts. They won a Big Eight tournament championship in 1994 and the NIT in 1996. But they haven�t won even a share of a regular-season league title since 1950 or had an above-.500 conference record since 1998-99. They are 0-6 in NCAA tournament games, with their most recent appearance in 1998.
�If Miles gets an NCAA Tournament win someday, he�ll be the best postseason coach in Nebraska history,� Reid said. �Let�s face it: The bar isn�t all that high.�

What Is a Brain Biopsy?
A brain biopsy is a procedure used to remove a tumor or a piece of tissue from the brain so that it can be examined under a microscope to diagnose illness.
Types of brain biopsies include needle biopsy, stereotactic biopsy, and open biopsy.
In a needle biopsy, a small hole is drilled into the skull. A narrow, hollow needle is placed into the incision to extract a tiny portion of the tumor or tissue.
A stereotactic biopsy uses three-dimensional imaging technology, as well as data from CT and MRI scans, to examine a tumor or a piece of the brain. This procedure is minimally invasive. Patients can often tolerate it under light sedation, as opposed to general anesthesia.
Open biopsies are the most common form of brain biopsy. During the procedure, a surgeon removes a piece of bone from the skull while the patient is under general anesthesia. The tumor is exposed and removed. This is riskier than the other brain biopsy methods and requires a longer recovery time.
What Does a Brain Biopsy Do?
Doctors usually order brain biopsies to determine whether a tumor is cancerous or benign. It can also be used to diagnose dementia-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Inflammatory disorders and multiple sclerosis can also be identified with brain biopsies.
A brain biopsy is generally seen as a last resort for diagnosing an illness. It is performed after imaging techniques prove inconclusive. In the case of dementia, the results may point to an illness that cannot be treated. Researchers have reported that the procedure may become more worthwhile for diagnosing dementia patients as new therapies are discovered (Warren, J.G., et al., 2005).
How Is a Brain Biopsy Administered?
Brain biopsies are performed in hospital operating rooms. Sometimes a head ring is placed on the patient and held in place with pins. In some cases, a CT scan or an MRI is taken in conjunction with the biopsy, often with the head ring in place. In other cases, the CT or MRI scan is taken before the biopsy and the results are uploaded on to surgical equipment. This eliminates the need for a head ring.
In needle or stereotactic biopsies, a small incision a few millimeters long is made. After a tiny hole is drilled into the skull, a small needle with a light and a camera is placed into the brain and the biopsy is obtained. The doctor can navigate during surgery by watching a monitor.
After surgery, the incision is stapled or sutured. In the case of open biopsies, the bone flap is replaced with plates or wires. If there is swelling or infection, the flap is not replaced. This is called a craniectomy.
What Are the Benefits of a Brain Biopsy?
A brain biopsy can help doctors diagnose brain illnesses. This allows them to devise treatment plans.
What Are the Risks of a Brain Biopsy?
Brain surgery is always risky, but needle and stereotactic biopsies are less invasive than open biopsies. They also have fewer complications.
Sometimes, tests on the sampled tissue are inconclusive and the procedure must be repeated.
Going under anesthesia always poses risks for elderly patients and people with dementia.
All types of brain biopsies can result in swelling or bleeding on the brain. They can also lead to infections, seizures, stroke, or coma. The risks have been reduced with modern technology such as stereotactic equipment.
How Does a Patient Prepare for a Brain Biopsy?
Before the surgery, laboratory work and a CT scan or an MRI may be ordered. The doctor may discontinue the use of blood thinners and aspirin. The patient may need to wash his or her hair with a special shampoo the night before the surgery.
What Is the Outlook After a Brain Biopsy?
In some cases, particularly with stereotactic and needle biopsies, the patient may go home on the same day. Usually, a one-day hospital stay is required. The hospital stay may be longer depending on the health of the patient and whether any complications arise during surgery.

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Thanks, my point was not to discredit them, I tried to ask a question about the fact that I made and paid for an order (close to $400) over a week ago and it is just sitting in "processing" I have sent numerous emails and tried their "live" online support. Not one response... I'm getting a bit stressed here. Just want to make sure I didn't get burned
Who burned you SFY? Find a Rep and pm him your order number. Order never arrive or something. Is it stuck in ...."limbo" or that C place?
lol...noob...a week
http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf75f970a.gif...PASSION IS MY FUCKING PASSION
a week in processing is not a bad thing. he is probably not replying to your emails b/c you are raiding his inbox with inquiries this soon after your payment.
The last thing I want to do is piss anyone off, just want to make sure that I am not getting burned. I would really like to get my gear and start my cycle. My first thread was just an inquiry, when it didn't post I flipped a bit. I will wait and hope that he responds to me. I tried to IM him on here but it would not allow me. And yes, I am a noob here.. my apologies for not spending my life on message boards..I read posts on here and many other sites but choose not to contribute for the most part
I tried to delete this post and start again with less emotion so I didn't sound like such a douch but I guess it is too late for that...

You don't have to spend your life on message boards smart ass to learn that you can't expect delivery in a week. If you would have read any posts about the sponsor you're dealing with then you would know that you're looking at a month or so. I know a member on here right now that's been waiting two months for his.
update,.. I have been given a tracking number but it is showing up as invalid,.. So I will wait a bit and see if that works out.
Trust me, I am looking forward to coming on here and eating crow, saying they are awesome, I have my stuff and I am a dipshit for posting this in the first place.

5 Things Everyone Forgets to Check When Apartment Hunting
A heaping shitload of you reading this article will at some point in the very near future be striking out on your own for the first time. And many others just read that sentence and immediately smirked at the thought of someone else having to go through the insane clusterfuck that comes with that freedom. Because in real life, there is no class that teaches you how to deal with asshole landlords or how to tell if an empty apartment has roaches in the middle of the day. But since we can't go back and warn our old selves about all the bullshit to look out for, maybe you can benefit from what we had to learn the hard way.
#5. Don't Get Fucked by Your Lease
I've seen this happen so many times, I can't even put a number on it. You'll be graduating college in a month, so you dive into that home stretch with everything you have. This is it. All you have to do is pass these last three classes and then you can finally pack up and move to New York like you've always dreamed and show your mom that your theater degree wasn't a waste of money. And not a moment too soon, because you couldn't stand the thought of even one more night in that shitty apartm- oh shit. Your lease is up in two days! FUUUUUUU ...
... UUUUUCK! So what do you do? There isn't much you can do, right? Your choices are to either start moving back in with your parents right that second because there is no time to shop for another place ("No, I swear, that degree will pay off, Mom!") or renew the lease and commit to another year ("Sorry, Cats. Soon"). And that means when you graduate in a month, you either move on to your dream job and tell the landlord to go fuck himself, losing your deposit (and watching that blemish follow you around for the next several years in the form of court appearances, bad references, and bad credit), or you stay legal and buy out the rest of the contract. Or you put your entire life on hold for another 11 months, waiting for the lease to expire again.
This is why it's so important to read the goddamn lease before you sign it. It sounds obvious, but it's like telling people that they should read the terms of service before hitting "Agree" on a video game. It's just a bunch of words that all say the same indecipherable legal horseshit, isn't it? For exactly that reason, I don't know many people who have read an entire lease. Almost everyone I know just talks to the landlord and then signs the paperwork they slide at them across the kitchen counter.
"Congratulations. Welcome to Futurekitchen."
But believe me, you don't want to put your name on something and then find out that you just committed to a two-year deal in a place you only planned on renting for one. In my experience, a two-plus-year deal usually means the landlord has a problem with people moving out quickly. They're trying to solve the problem by ensuring steady renters through binding contracts, and it's always for a reason that you won't see until you've lived there for a few months -- like you find out that your building is where they land hospital helicopters, or upstairs is the office for group yodeling therapy. No, it doesn't always mean that renters run away screaming, but in my experience, it's meant that more times than not.
It all boils down to keeping your eyes and ears sharp when shopping for a place. Not just at the lease and the condition of the apartment itself, but at the neighborhood. Is there a shitload of barking dogs? Can you hear the neighbors through the wall? Are there fuck stains on the ceiling?
But whatever you do, find a way to remind yourself about that expiration date. Put it into your phone. Or into Google Calendar. Make sure the reminder is set for two months in advance, because if you do decide to pack up and move on, you're going to need plenty of time to find another place. Otherwise, you're going to be in the exact situation I described at the beginning of this point.
"... and we've been here ever since. And that, honey, is why hope is a lie."
But before you put your name on that line ...
#4. Check the Cabinets
You'll want to check the cabinets, but probably not for the reasons you're thinking. Yes, obviously you need to know if they have the space for your cups and food and whip collection, but it's also the easiest way to find out if the place is infested with things that will eat your food and shit on your dishes.
If you ever have to hire an exterminator, watch him go through the kitchen. One of the first things he does is shine a flashlight under the shelves in the cabinets, paying special attention to corners, because much like your mom, that's where insects like to hang out. OOOOOOOHHH! But on top of looking for the bugs themselves, he's also looking for their poop, which looks like black pepper. That's what you're looking for, as well as mice turds, which look like little black pellets that are shaped like maggots. Sorry, if we're going the gross route, we might as well go the whole fucking distance, right?
They're not so fucking cute when they're disease shitting in your Froot Loops.
If the apartment has a history of infestations, it will most likely not be thoroughly cleaned before you get there. Not beyond a quick "Oh shit, there are people coming -- sweep!" That means that you're likely to find old insect-poison traps way back in the cabinets where most people don't normally think to look or clean because they're kind of an out-of-the-way pain in the ass to get to. That's not to say that all of the poop and poison will be out of the way. Look around the fridge and stove to see if you can spot some shit, because that's where pests are going to be hanging out when you're not around. Don't you watch any Pixar films?
You can do all of this without looking like a paranoid schlong. Just act like you're examining the place to make sure all of your stuff will fit. But make no mistake, if you have to bust out a flashlight to get a better look, it's better to appear a little impolite now than to wake up next week covered in fucking spiders after you've already signed a lease with a "We may, on occasion, fuck your world up with spiders" clause.
"You're going to be a little late with rent? Hm. Interesting."
If the place looks bug-free and you can't smell any signs of recent bug spray (if the place smells like bug spray, just assume they have bugs and leave), check under the kitchen and bathroom sinks for water stains and warping of the cabinet floors. If you find any of that, it means they've had problems with the plumbing. If it looks really old and really bad, it means the landlord doesn't give a shit about fixing it and has a "Just deal with it" attitude.
OK, after that, does it look good? Awesome. Let's sign that fucker and move in. Wait! One more thing ...
#3. Talk With the Neighbors Before You Sign
Don't let them shove a lease at you expecting you to sign on the spot. Tell them you have an important decision to make, and you'll get back to them in a day or two. Be extremely polite about it -- you don't want them saying, "Oh, I totally understand. While you go fuck yourself, I'll have the next person on my list sign the lease." But then when you have the opportunity to do it when they're not present, introduce yourself to your potential neighbors and ask them a few basic questions about what it's like to live there.
This is especially helpful if you're considering an apartment that's in a building (as opposed to renting a house, which is much more prevalent in my part of the country). No one on earth can tell you what you're getting into better than the people who have lived there long enough to get past the initial polite first impression stage. And you will find no one more honest and direct than a tenant who has been waiting for eight months for someone to unclog their shitter. Or someone who had a child in the hospital and was denied a week's leeway in rent.
"Fuck your kid! Have my money by noon, or I'll burn down that whole goddamn hospital!"
I once had an apartment where the landlord paid all the utilities. The guy was super nice in almost every respect. But one winter, I burned something on the stove, so I opened the windows and put a fan in backward to help suck some of that shit out. It got cold pretty quick, but the place still needed a bit of airing, so I bumped up the heat. That's exactly when he drove by and saw the fan in the window and decided to come up and give me a lecture about bills. Even though it was obvious that I didn't spend my days cranking the heat, opening all the windows and doors, and then laughing at his misfortune. "Hahaha! I have discovered your weakness, landlord! Now watch your precious bank account burn under the might of my utility manipulation!" When I told that story to my neighbors who lived in the same building, they all responded, "Ha! Yeah, that's exactly something he'd do."
If I had spoken to them before I moved in, I could have gotten a heads up on how he liked to pop in from time to time to make sure nobody else was living there. Or that nobody was sneaking in pets. Just random inspections disguised as pleasant "How are you?" visits that, though we were all fine with them, would have definitely influenced my decision to give him money.
"Hey there, buddy! Just wondering if you have any illegal narcotics we could do together!"
Now, I understand that not everyone will have the balls to talk to the neighbors, because over the past 20 years, we've become a society that's embraced the attitude of "Don't touch me! Don't look at me! Why are you talking to me?!" But it really is as simple as knocking on someone's door and saying, "Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was considering moving in next door, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Chad Nickelback." Then you casually ask about the landlord and the place.
Not only is it a good way to get information, but if you do decide to move in, it's a great way to pre-emptively get to know your neighbor. Because as perfect as the apartment may be, and as perfect as the landlord may be, if the neighbor answers the door in urine-soaked tighty whiteys and has a gun, it's probably best to just skip this one.
"Would you like to come in for some space coffee? I was just about to whip some fish, if you'd like a whack."
So let's say that all of that turned out great. There are no bugs. No mice. Everyone is shooting rainbows out of their assholes. It's time to sign that lease and move in. No, wait! One more thing ...

In addition to a hit parade of regularly-scheduled films, we hold special series and screenings every month of the year. These series often present sharp educational elements through documentaries, talkbacks with filmmakers and stars, café meet and greets, or all of the above. These series help us include members of the community who might otherwise miss out.
Series at the Little
The Little Theatre has always welcomed the strange, the offbeat, and, as they say in Italy, the mondo. With that in mind, it is taking further ownership of that identity with MONDO MOVIES. The Little is hosting $5 screenings of cult films that fans rarely get to see on the big screen.
For the month of March we will continue to keep the start time of the series at 10pm., starting in April the series start time will move to 9pm. see on a silver screen.
Metro Justice presents 5 films on Sundays in August at 3pm that shed light on social justice concerns.
All films are free and open to the public with a suggested donation.
The MVP Healthy Living series is a collaboration between the Little Theatre, WXXI and MVP Health care. The screenings in this series highlight the physical, mental and emotional benefits of making healthy choices in life, as well as instructing what those choices look like. The stories presented on the screen lead in to post-film discussions with local health experts, during which the audience is encouraged to participate by asking questions and sharing experiences from their own lives.
National Theatre Live launched in June 2009 with a broadcast of the National Theatre production of Phèdre with Helen Mirren. We've since broadcast more than twenty other productions live from the National Theatre, and on occasion other theatres in the UK. Since 2010 National Theatre Live has been proudly supported by Aviva.
RIT Faculty Speaker Film Series, a partnership between the Little Theatres School of Film and Animation continues in 2015. Tickets for the screenings are $5 as part of the Little's $5 Mondays.
The RIT Faculty Speaker Film Series discussions are structured so both casual viewers and film enthusiasts have the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn more about the films in the series. The goal is to gain a better understanding of films - with behind-the-scenes stories and experiences or general analysis.
The Little begins another season of Bolshoi Ballet productions in 2015-16. These screenings are full ballets from the world-class Bolshoi Theatre, recorded and played to audiences as if they were in the best seats of the historic Russian icon.
Tickets for these special presentations are $20 general admission and $18 for members, seniors, and students.
This series creatively pairs screenings of classic, cult, and documentary films with lively introductions by notable figures from the world of science, technology, and medicine. Each film is used as a jumping off point for the speaker to reveal current scientific research or technological advances, providing the perfect combination of entertainment and enlightenment. This program is a national program run by several individual not-for-profit theater's across the United States. Post film discussions are created in partnership with the Rochester Institute of Technology.

STOCKHOLM � Two scientists from different generations won the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for the groundbreaking discovery that cells in the body can be reprogrammed to become completely different kinds, potentially opening the door to growing customized tissues for treatments.
The work of British researcher John Gurdon and Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka � who was born the year Gurdon made his discovery � has raised hopes of developing transplant tissue to treat diseases like Parkinson's and diabetes. And it has spurred a new generation of laboratory studies into other diseases, including schizophrenia, that may lead to new treatments.
Basically, their work paved the way to making the equivalent of embryonic stem cells without the ethical questions the embryonic cells pose.
�Their findings have revolutionized our understanding of how cells and organisms develop,� the Nobel committee at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute said in announcing the 8 million kronor ($1.2 million) award. It was the first of this year's Nobel Prizes, with five more awards to be announced by next Monday.
Gurdon, 79, showed in 1962 that the DNA from specialized cells of frogs, like skin or intestinal cells, could be used to generate new tadpoles. That showed the DNA still had its ability to drive the formation of all cells of the body.
At the time, the discovery had �no obvious therapeutic benefit at all,� Gurdon told reporters in London. �It was almost 50 years before the value � the potential value � of that basic scientific research comes to light.�
In 1997, the cloning of Dolly the sheep by other scientists showed that the same process Gurdon discovered in frogs would work in mammals.
More than 40 years after Gurdon's discovery, in 2006, Yamanaka, 50, showed that a surprisingly simple recipe could turn mature cells back into primitive cells, which in turn could be prodded into different kinds of mature cells.
Basically, the primitive cells were the equivalent of embryonic stem cells, which had been embroiled in controversy because to get human embryonic cells, human embryos had to be destroyed. Yamanaka's method provided a way to get such primitive cells without destroying embryos.
�The discoveries of Gurdon and Yamanaka have shown that specialized cells can turn back the developmental clock under certain circumstances,� the committee said. �These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine.�
Just last week, Japanese scientists reported using Yamanaka's approach to turn skin cells from mice into eggs that produced baby mice.
Gurdon has served as a professor of cell biology at Cambridge University's Magdalene College and is currently at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, which he founded. Yamanaka worked at the Gladstone Institute in San Francisco and Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. He is currently at Kyoto University and also affiliated with the Gladstone Institute. Yamanaka is the first Japanese scientist to win the Nobel medicine award since 1987.
Gurdon said he first thought someone was "pulling my leg" when he got the call from the Nobel committee. He said he planned to celebrate with a drink, but expected to be back in the lab Tuesday morning and that he had no plans to retire.
Yamanaka told Japanese broadcaster NHK that he was at home doing chores on Monday when he got the call from Stockholm. �Even though we have received this prize, we have not really accomplished what we need to. I feel a deep sense of duty and responsibility,� Yamanaka said.
Choosing Yamanaka as a Nobel winner just six years after his discovery was unusual. The Nobel committees typically reward research done more than a decade before, to make sure it has stood the test of time.
In 2010, the Nobel Prize in physics went to two researchers whose discoveries were also published six years earlier. In 2006, two American scientists won the medicine prize eight years after their work was published.
Prize committee member Juleen Zierath said Gurdon and Yamanaka's discoveries, which also earned them a Lasker award for basic research in 2009, could hold �immense potential,� including in developing treatments for Parkinson's disease and in making cells that produce insulin. However, she added that therapeutic implications are still far away.
The idea of reprograming cells has also been put to work in basic research on disease, through an approach sometimes called �disease in a dish.�
The reprogramming allows scientists to create particular kinds of tissue they want to study, like lung tissue for studying cystic fibrosis, or brain tissue for Huntington's disease. By reprogramming cells from patients with a particular disease, they can create new tissue with the same genetic background, and study it in the lab. That can give new insights into the roots of the problem.
In addition, that approach allows them to screen drugs in the lab for possible new medicines.
Experts welcomed the announcement, praising the duo for their groundbreaking and influential discoveries in a field riddled with ethical debates.
�Everyone who works on developmental biology and on the understanding of disease mechanisms will applaud these excellent and clear choices for the Nobel Prizes,� said John Hardy, professor of Neuroscience at University College London. �Countless labs' work builds on the breakthroughs they have pioneered.�
Yamanaka deserves extra credit for overcoming fierce objections to the creation of embryos for research, reviving the field, said Julian Savulescu, director of Oxford University's Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
�Yamanaka has taken people's ethical concerns seriously about embryo research and modified the trajectory of research into a path that is acceptable for all,� Savulescu said. �He deserves not only a Nobel Prize for Medicine, but a Nobel Prize for Ethics.�
Goran Hansson, the secretary of the prize committee, said he had reached both winners by phone before the announcement. He said they were looking forward to coming to Stockholm to collect the award in a ceremony on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
The medicine award was the first Nobel Prize to be announced this year. The physics award will be announced Tuesday, followed by chemistry on Wednesday, literature on Thursday and the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The economics prize, which was not among the original awards, but was established by the Swedish central bank in 1968, will be announced on Oct. 15.

Two Tiffin women have turned their friendship into an artistic partnership called Lake Erie Beach Glass. Joy Rose and Kathy Livoti are the featured artists for the 2012 Y-Wives Holiday Extravaganza Saturday at Tiffin YMCA.
About two years ago, Livoti, who has a residence at the lake, had seen another person collecting bits of glass tossed up by the water. He was making them into decorative items and jewelry. Seeing his creations also got Livoti's mind working.
"I walk the beach," Livoti said. "I knew Joy was talented, so I thought she could do this."

This large pendant has a coordinating bracelet.
Rose set up a studio in her basement, fired up her imagination and went to work. In the time the women have been collaborating, Rose has made 714 pendants and hundreds of charms, earrings and other accessories. She keeps an inventory and numbers each piece. Besides weathered glass, she also uses wood, stones, shells and whatever else "looks interesting."
Sometimes, people bring her stones or other objects they collected on vacation to be incorporated into works of art.
"With some pieces that we couldn't use for pendants because they were too small or too big, we branched out
and started doing the wine glass markers, candle jewelry and book markers. Also, I do some suncatchers." Rose said.
She uses non-tarnish wire in silver, gold, copper or bronze finish to hand-wrap the natural materials. The round tops of bottles have ridges Rose accents with wire. Sometimes, the glass fragments have letters molded into the surface.
No special polish or finish is added. The water, sand and stone scrub the wood and glass pieces.
When the pair first started doing shows, customers asked whether they cut their materials or tumbled them to smooth the edges.
"However she finds the glass, we do not do anything to it. The shape it is or whatever, that's what I work with," Rose said.
"If it's too sharp, I throw it back in the lake and say, 'See you in about five years.' ... It's kind of like recycling things people throw off their boats," Livoti said.
Priced from $16-$27, the pendants have been the most popular items. The cost depends on their size, amount of wire and the time invested.
Rose makes the shanks of the pendants big enough to fit over other chains or cords people may have at home.
Blue and black are the most difficult glass colors to find. Sometimes Rose uses glass glue to attach those bits to add contrast. She has an eye for coordinating colors and shapes.
"I pick out the piece of glass I'm going to do, the wire and the beads. Then I just start wrapping. It just depends how it wraps around the piece. I'm never really sure how it's going to turn out," Rose said.
Livoti's drift wood serves as display racks for the jewelry. Rose also transformed some of it into rustic birdhouses with weathered glass jewels. Like the jewelry, each piece is unique.
The pair tries to keep the prices reasonable yet competitive.
"We tell our customers, no two pieces are alike. No one will ever have one identical to it because of the shapes and the way the designs are," Livoti said.
Rose said she has not taken any specific training to make her glass into art. She has tried a variety of wire to get what works best. The wire is ordered online, but she likes to select the beads in person to get the right sizes and colors.
She buys cording and cuts the leather or other material to the length the customer wants or pairs the pendants with chains or neck wires.
"I try to do some sets with a bracelet and pendant that sort of match, because people want that." Rose said. "We do have some earrings. The earrings are really difficult because it involves finding two pieces of glass that are close enough to be used together."
The pieces need to be a similar size, shape and color and then be wrapped to come out nearly the same. The wearer also can wear them with other jewelry done in the same wire color.
Sometimes, the artists want to keep their creations for their own collections. Rose said she prefers more gold, while Livoti favors silver.
"We don't fight over them," Livoti joked.
Signatures of Seneca County carries samples of Lake Erie Beach Glass for sale, and the women participated in the School of Opportunity craft sale last month. Their booth at Tiffin Art Guild's Masterpiece in the Making won an award during the 2011 show in Tiffin.
A member of TAG, Rose recently retired after 20 years as an educational aide for Tiffin City Schools. Livoti
is a teacher's aide at the Opportunity Center.
Livoti has been known to comb the beach for materials at all times of the year.
"I've climbed on rocks; I've slid down banks," Livoti said.
"She enjoys walking the beach and finding all the pieces, and I enjoy sitting and wrapping. It's fun to pick out the different pieces and imagine what it might look like," Rose said.

LISBON - Columbiana County residents whose property falls within the path of a proposed pipeline that would connect Ohio's shale gas fields with markets in the southwest should soon be receiving a letter about the project.
Wendy Olson, a spokeswoman for Spectra Energy Corp., confirmed that introductory letters will be mailed within the next several weeks to residents whose property falls within the path of the proposed pipeline.
The letters will include an explanation of the project, the process to be followed in obtaining easements from property owners, names and phone numbers of contact persons who can answer questions about the project, and names and numbers of those involved in obtaining easements. The letter will also seek permission to conduct property surveys.
Spectra announced in December it was working with Chesapeake Energy and American Electric Power on a joint venture to build a 70-mile pipeline through Ohio that would
connect with Spectra's Texas Eastern pipeline system, which runs from New York to Texas.
Spectra's online map of the project actually shows the path of the proposed 36-inch transmission pipeline entering Ohio south of Columbiana County, but county Commissioner Mike Halleck reported at this week's meeting he was told by company officials the pipeline would run through the county.
According to Halleck, the pipeline would also pass through Carroll, Harrison, Belmont and Monroe counties before connecting near Clarington with the Texas Eastern pipeline, which runs from east to west through Ohio.
Olson did not have any detailed information on the exact path of the pipeline, saying a new more detailed map is still under development.
"The project is still very much in the early phase," she explained, adding their goal will be to "communicate early and communicate often" with property owners to keep them informed every step of the process.
Chesapeake, the second largest producer of natural gas in the United States, is the largest player in the shale gas boom under way in Ohio in terms of acreage under lease. AEP is one of the largest electric companies in the country and operates several natural gas-fired power plants in the Ohio and the midwest.
The pipeline would be made of high-grade manufactured steel and buried at least 3 feet underground, with some sections being buried deeper, depending on the location.

If you can't continue to make people buy your products, lets do a 'Make You Feel Good" media blitz and tell the people apple is listening, that should be good for more sales since its obvious apple market penetration has peaked. Lots of Americans have said if apple were to build in the US they would buy, buy buy. The rest of the world isn't buying into the apple tripe and apples glamor has stalled, from competing products. No more OHHH and AHHH for the foreseeable future. So its back to the gullible Americans. Hopefully the Americans can see through this.

HUNTINGDON - A passing freight train drowned out blaring patriotic music and forced men to grab their hats Friday as more than 100 people rallied at Huntingdon's tiny Amtrak station.
With signs that read, "Keep Huntingdon on the map" and "The little town that could," the cluster of protesters - including college students, grandparents and politicians - spent an hour in near-freezing temperatures to fight for the region's last remaining passenger rail route.
"This really is our only public transportation," state Rep. Mike Fleck, R-Huntingdon, said at a podium near the small metal structure that serves as the borough's passenger station. "We don't want this to be the missing link."
The western Pennsylvania Amtrak route, running from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg including stops in Altoona, Tyrone, Huntingdon and Lewistown is threatened by a coming October transfer to state financial control. Despite a $5.7 million price tag PennDOT would face, state Rep. Dick Hess, R-Bedford - the state House Transportation Committee chairman - vowed Friday to keep the route in existence.
"It's something we have to have, not just for the people but for the economy," Hess told the cheering crowd.
Hess offered hope to those fighting for the rail segment. He's been in talks with PennDOT Secretary Barry Schoch, he said, and no one involved considers closing the line a serious option.
Speakers and attendees offered a litany of arguments for preserving Amtrak's Pennsylvanian route: Seniors use it to visit relatives; students ride it to and from school; and hospital patients take it to Pittsburgh for treatment.
When an inmate's time is up at the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, corrections officers drive him less than two miles to the Amtrak station and send him on his way, Borough Mayor Dee Dee Brown said.
The alternative if the line closes? Officers would drive an hour to State College, buy a transit ticket and quickly make a second trip to leave the newly freed convict on a bus.
"The train means a lot for us," said Mingwei Song, a Juniata College student from Chengdu, China. "How can our parents come here and participate in our graduation? It's four years, and it's the only time they will come to America."
Without a train, Song said, the county would be all but severed from international airline hubs like Pittsburgh and New York.
Gabriella Ricciardi, a senior Juniata College museum studies major from New York, said she wouldn't have been allowed to attend school in Huntingdon if not for the train home.
"Three years on this train. I need it," she said.
Speaking after the rally, Hess said he plans to schedule a hearing in Harrisburg to discuss PennDOT's options. Under a 2008 federal law, Amtrak must transfer its taxpayer subsidy for shorter lines, like the Pennsylvanian, to state control.
The $5.7 million subsidy - roughly $27 per passenger under current use - is unacceptably high, Hess said. Negotiations are under way with Amtrak officials to reduce the number, though he didn't indicate how the subsidy price could be cut.
There was little question Friday that the line gets its share of riders. After the Pennsylvanian roared to a stop, its horn sounding and the crowd cheering, keynote speaker Michael Alexander of Western Pennsylvanians for Passenger Rail stepped off and proudly announced that the train was sold out.
Alexander balked at the suggestion that $5.7 million is a prohibitively large expense. Even relatively small highway projects and bridge installations often cost more, he said.
He painted a dark picture of a future without the western Pennsylvania line: Small mountain communities would languish, their residents cut off from major cities, while trains continued to buzz all day at 125 mph between Harrisburg to Philadelphia, he said.
"(Towns) will wither away. Younger people will leave," Alexander said.
"If the train is gone in October, we have to assume it will be gone for good," he said. "We will never see a passenger train pass through Huntingdon again."

LOCKPORT – A Level 2 sex offender, who was rescued from a burning car in 2004 after a fatal DWI crash, was arraigned on a felony driving while intoxicated indictment Monday in Niagara County Court.
Kelly P. Chellino, 43, of Park Avenue, Waterport, pleaded not guilty to felony DWI, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, driving without headlights and a lane violation. He was arrested Nov. 30 in the City of Lockport.
Chellino has been on the sex offender registry since being convicted of having sex with a 14-year-old girl in 1997. On April 14, 2004, he and another drunken driver, Jason D. Jakubec of Wilson, had a head-on crash on Ridge Road in Lewiston. Trooper Anthony LaRock won several heroism awards for pulling Chellino and passenger Mary Sears, then 21, from their burning car. However, another passenger, Christina M. Jones, 18, of Lockport, died in the fire.
Jakubec, whose car crossed the center line to cause the wreck, pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and served 2½ years in prison. Chellino was convicted of misdemeanor DWI in that case.

docs we love :: i met the walrus – john lennon interview
Oscar-Nominated Short Film "I Met the Walrus" (John Lennon Interview)
Back in 1969, a 14 year old kid (Jerry Levitan) with a reel-to-reel tape recorder showed up at John Lennon's hotel room and got to interview him.
It's amazing how what John Lennon has to say about corporate opposition to the peace movement is just as true now as it was 40 years ago. Likewise, his message of activism is still just as relevant. After watching this film, I felt sad that we lost such a great mind because of a psycho with a handgun.

Griffins Features
October 19, 2010
Shaw was hired this summer to fill a big pair of shoes -- those of departing medical therapist Rob Snitzer, who had been with the team for each if its first 14 seasons. Known as "Snitzy" to longtime fans of the team, he accepted a sales position with Dynasplint, an orthopedic products manufacturer.
The move to West Michigan happened rather quickly for Shaw, who was hired in late August. Moving from Western Canada to Grand Rapids on short notice was difficult, but Shaw has been pleased with his transition.
"Everybody in Grand Rapids and Detroit has treated me with the utmost class," said Shaw. "I'd say it was a bit of a struggle for them to get me here on such late notice, but I really appreciate that they did."
Shaw, who grew up in a small town outside of Brandon, Manitoba, graduated with a sports science degree from the University of Manitoba in 2004 and became a certified athletic therapist in 2005. Having played hockey growing up, he got his first behind-the-scenes experience the following season.
"Straight out of school, I landed a job with a professional baseball team in Winnipeg called the Goldeyes," said Shaw. "I worked with them in the summertime as my main job, and helped out with the [Manitoba] Moose as a third medical guy in the winter."
Shaw made contacts in the hockey world and eventually moved from the AHL to the WHL in 2007, taking a job with the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook, British Columbia. He worked there for three seasons as the head athletic therapist and equipment manager before moving to Grand Rapids.
"Working junior, you're always trying to further your career and move up to the next level," he said.
Griffins general manager Bob McNamara said there was a lot of interest about the open position.
"You go through your network of people that you know in the business, and you talk to them about people who are available, that they've had before who were good, that were maybe at a lower level," said McNamara. "We heard nothing but great things about Brad."
"We did a lot of checking on it, and we had a lot of qualified candidates. But again, it was basically what he had done for some of the people we know, and that kind of sealed it for us," McNamara continued. "He's been fantastic."
With the season now in full swing, Shaw is still getting used to the new job and life in West Michigan.
"The city is great, my wife [Cori] loves it here," said Shaw. "There's a million and one things to do. With ArtPrize just finishing up, there's no shortage of anything to do here."
One of Shaw's duties was to lend a hand at the Red Wings' training camp in Traverse City, where he got his first taste of his new job and found comfort courtesy of some familiar names.
"I recognized a lot of names like Brent Raedeke and Willie Coetzee," said Shaw, referring to the Griffins' rookies from the WHL. "I knew these guys a little bit, but when the big guys come into town and you get your Zetterbergs and Datsyuks coming in, you kind of feel out of place for the first while."
"You realize that your job is a job, and they're built the same way anyone else is built, just a little bit bigger, faster, and better at what they do than other people. It's pretty surreal, but it was a neat experience, and I look forward to working with them more in the future."
Shaw says there are definitely a few things he will miss about Kootenay.
"I miss the mountains," Shaw said. "I never thought I would get to love the mountains as much as I did when I moved out there. Now that they're not around, you sure do notice, and you sure miss them."
Despite the flatter landscape, Shaw says he isn't experiencing any culture shock.
"I grew up on the prairies, which is sort of like the life here," said Shaw. "You're always going to meet friends, and you're always going to find good people wherever you go. The lifestyle is pretty much the same, you just roll with it."
McNamara echoed Shaw's statement on the lifestyle adjustment.
"The job is pretty much the job, it's similar in every city," said McNamara. "The difference is different types of cities, different types of venues. He was dealing with junior kids, and now he's dealing with a little bit older athletes."
"I think it's all good for him, the fact that he was able to come up with us to Traverse City and interact with the Red Wings' guys to see how they do business, and be able to work with our guys and pros. That part of the transition has been smooth for him, but in the end, hockey's hockey."
