The Musical Conquest of the New WorldWhen it came to music in the Americas, the British and Spanish imperial campaigns spread beauty, not destruction. Mexican and South American cathedral archives contain many jewels composed in the Spaniish late Renaissance style of Morales and Victoria. Choral music written in North America was much more tied to the British cathedral tradition. Composers such as Leo Sowerby and Healey Willan developed a distinctively American style without fully relinquishing their "old country" roots. 03/03/2013 - 03/09/201303/03 - 8:00 pm03/08 - 8:00 pm03/09 - 8:00 pmLocation: variouswebsite

Elkins hopes to add three police officers
February 8, 2013
The Elkins Police Department has openings for three new police officers, including a vacancy created by the resignation of a probationary officer who had been placed on administrative leave and was......
well wvresident at least they had someone rewrite this story.

Oh ... and background checks ... extensive background checks for these new "officers."

"A businessman in town is very willing to give us money for another dog," White said, adding he is looking into the possibility. "That translates to a half day's pumping of water," Pingley said, adding that parts of Elkins lost water pressure after the break." ... Hun?? ...better not get that dog if it causes that much water to be lost!

Finished my CCW class today, looking for IWB holster options for the Ruger LC9. What's everyone using?

An Uncle Mike's #10 until I can find something better. Everyone seems to be sold out of LC9 holsters.
May 25, 2011, 06:31 PM
Go to Glocktalk.com and check classifieds for a guy named coachG...maks and awesome 35.00 kydex IWB modeled after comptac. The price includes shipping and he is FAST!
May 25, 2011, 06:43 PM
I'm looking for a IWB for a LC9 as well, although it is my wive's gun there might come a time where i might wanna carry it.
May 26, 2011, 09:09 AM
This is what I carry mine in.It holds the gun snug to my side.
I put it toward my back/right side.

June 2, 2011, 04:53 PM
I've been looking at the options as well. Fortunately for us, it has recently become much easier to find IWB holsters sized for - or at the higher end, fitted to - the LC9. I assume you are not using the Crimson Trace clip-on laser; if you are, the choices are much more limited. I've listed below several of the holsters I've liked enough to write down. They are mostly strong side holsters with a forward cant, but if you prefer yours without a cant you can usually get it from the same manufacturer at a similar price point.
I've also included a few other holster styles in case someone finds them useful.
IWB w/ two spaced clips/loops/etc.:
Fist Inc. Sec. Sys. 2 140
Comp-Tac CTAC 80
Crossbreed Supertuck 70
Crossbreed Minituck 68
Kholster Minimoon 50
IWB w/ single clip/loop/etc.:
Milt Sparks VM2 125 Note: 6 mo. lead
HBE Pro TL 119 Note: molded SSO, clip, offset
High Noon Closing Arg. 100 Note: molded RSO, clip
Fist Inc. K8 85 Note: kydex, interchangeable belt attach.
Garrett Sil. Thunder 85 Note: leather lined kydex
El Paso S. Ultra Cover 82
Fist Inc. K4 70 Note: kydex, J-hook
Blade-Tech Ultimate C. 70 Note: kydex, offset
De Santis Tuck This II 38 Note: synthetic, +1 mag
High Noon Split Decis. 37 Note: clip
De Santis Sof-Tuck 26 Note: suede
High Noon Pkt. Grabber 55
De Santis Nemesis 24
Blackhawk Pkt. Holster 13
5.11 Holster Shirt 60
SmartCarry Std. Model 51
Thunderwear 50
Belly Band 30
SSO: smooth side out; rough side facing the firearm. Looks nice, but traps more moisture against the weapon. Moves around inside pants more easily.
RSO: rough side out; smooth side facing the firearm. Doesn't look great, but grips cloth well and traps less moisture against the weapon.
It's possible some of the numbers have changed since I wrote them down, so take them with a grain of salt, but they are useful for looking in the right ballpark with respect to your budget. There are probably even nicer options available, but at that point you're getting into custom leather-working and I don't have any interest or knowledge in that area.
June 2, 2011, 06:10 PM
I have a semi-generic leather thingy coming from theholsterstore.com.
June 4, 2011, 02:38 AM
I just bought this one on ebay, I'll do a review once I get it.
How was your ccw class? I plan on taking one this summer.

When actor Jim Nabors married Stan Cadwallader, his partner of 38 years last month, he wasn't trying to make a political statement about gay marriage. He just wanted to marry the man he calls "best friend."
"We've been together a long time and we just thought, 'let's solidify this,'" Nabors, 82, tells PEOPLE from Hawaii.
The former Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle star and Cadwallader, 64, flew to Seattle – gay marriage is legal in Washington state – for a no-nonsense ceremony on Jan. 15, presided over by a longtime friend who is a judge.
"This was kind of dotting the 'Is' and crossing the Ts,'" Nabors says, revealing that the couple did exchange rings along with their "I dos."
"That was really weird at my age," he says, laughing. "I never thought this would happen to me. Believe me, I didn't."
Nabors has been equally astonished by the response since news broke of the nuptials.
"People have called all over and it's kind of surprised me. I appreciate the good thoughts," says Nabors, who adds that he and Cadwallader enjoy what he calls "a good life" in Hawaii. "I'm a farmer! We have a farm that's part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Maui and we raise macadamia nuts."
The newlyweds (the term makes Nabors chuckle) "are very happy," says Nabors. "One thing I've learned is when you find a best friend in this life you better hang on."

Aspiring Adventures is about living the life and running the trips we aspired to when we became adventure guides: authentic, a little bit off the beaten path, flexible and intimate.
On Aspiring trips we hike, bike, kayak, swim, dive, eat, drink, dance, and play our way through an eclectic range of destinations, engaging with the environment, the culture, local people and daily life, as well as the headline attractions. We're about putting you in the picture, not looking at it through a bus window.
People of all ages and levels of physical ability come on holiday with us. Many have travelled extensively but never joined a group tour before. If you travel to get inside a place, beyond the cultural clichés and postcard moments, and if you're willing to risk stepping outside your comfort zone now and then, our tours are for you.
About Peru
As adventure tour people, we can't help but love Peru to extremes; it offers a diversity of adventure travel opportunities that defies belief.
Hiking the Inca trail and Machu Picchu will never go out of style, but there's so much more to Peru in general and Cusco in particular. High and low jungle, rafting and biking, world-class cuisine, trekking to undisturbed ruins, authentic cultural interchange throwing pots and chewing coca with Quechua-speaking locals: all within surprisingly easy reach of the must-see sights.
Guest Review
Looked after very well and a great experience. The guides were awesome! There wasn't anything I could pick that needed to be improved on. Have had an excellent adventure, amazing insight into Peru native culture and amazing mountain biking - feel renewed and remotivated and will definitely go on another Aspiring Adventures tour in the future.
Jon D., from New Zealand

Paul and I have travelled to many parts of the world but this Holiday has been the most exciting, adventurous and inspiring we have ever had. Our guide, Aldo, has been the most knowledgeable, considerate, thoughtful and helpful person we have travelled with. Katy your choice of restaurants and accommodation has been outstanding.

A 19-year-old Houston Street man was arrested at South Park and Bailey avenues early Tuesday for allegedly driving a car owned by a local auto leasing concern and for smoking marijuana in the vehicle with his young son in the back seat.
Keith Garcia was pulled over after he was reportedly driving erratically on Bailey Avenue.
Police reported a "strong scent of marijuana" in the vehicle where a small sandwich bag full of alleged marijuana was seized. Garcia, whose name was not on the car lease documents, was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of marijuana and endangering the welfare of a child.

I have written your paper several times about your leftist columnists. I am not a subscriber, but others keep bringing their columns to my attention.
Perhaps the Wemstroms can be given credit for fully exposing their politics. Honesty is a virtue in most cases. With them, I am not sure it can be called honesty. More like knee-jerk liberal hogwash.
While I hope the First Amendment stays around to protect such nonsense, and I fully support your right to print it, I am a little dismayed that any of your readers might believe what the Wemstroms are promoting. It is the worst sort of anti-American statist propaganda, and needs to be viewed as such.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Lucy Liu
- 1968
Far From Barbie
While growing up in Queens, N.Y., Liu, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, dreams of an acting career, even though she rarely sees Asian performers in movies or on TV. "When you're younger and you don't feel like you quite fit in anywhere, you think there must be a community of misfits out there that you can fall into," she tells the New York Times. "The popular girls were all blondes," she adds to PEOPLE. "I wanted to be Barbie and I was as opposite to Barbie as you could get."
- 1986
The Artistic Brain
Liu attends New York University before transferring to the University of Michigan where she majors in Asian studies. To her surprise, the aspiring actress is cast as the lead in a college production of Alice in Wonderland. The role, she says, changed her life. "I realized you can be anything you want in the world," she tells Newsday. "You don't have to follow what's given." Her self-expression – through performing, photography and painting – continues after college, when she is awarded a grant to make art in China.
- 1990s
Small Sightings
Liu decides to pursue acting professionally and moves to L.A., where she appears in commercials and small parts on TV hits like Beverly Hills, 90210 and ER. "I fulfilled my parents' dreams by going to the University of Michigan. I always knew I wanted to act, so I went up to my father and I said, 'I am going to go to California,'" she recalls. "Now, they are my biggest fans." She eventually appears in Gridlock'd with Thandie Newton, plays a dominatrix in Payback (right) and Tom Cruise's ex-girlfriend in Jerry Maguire.
- 1998
Creating Ling Woo
Ally McBeal show creator David E. Kelley develops a new character specifically for Liu. She plays Ling Woo, a combative client who becomes the firm's most politically incorrect lawyer, and earns an Emmy nomination and a shared SAG Award for the best ensemble. But Liu is criticized for perpetuating the Asian "dragon lady" stereotype. "This role has been liberating for me. I can bring who I am into it," Liu tells Newsweek. When she leaves the show in 2001 to pursue film, Liu thanks Kelley for giving her a role that "taught me about myself and helped me grow as a person."
- 1999
What a Beauty!
PEOPLE names Liu one its 50 Most Beautiful people. Her Ally costar and onscreen love Greg Germann remembers his first impression of Liu, "I looked at her and just went, 'Whoa!' She's stunning," he tells PEOPLE. In 2004, she makes her second appearance in the annual issue. The following year, she costars with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson as Princess Pei-Pei in Shanghai Noon.
- 2000
A Heavenly Role
Liu kicks butt alongside Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the big-screen remake Charlie's Angels, which rakes in $264 million worldwide. Liu calls the high-profile role in the original all-white TV cast "a historical step for me." Director McG adds, "Nobody ever gave her anything...It was that sort of elegant tenacity that I wanted to reflect in this movie's Alex character…There was no real agenda to cast an ethnic Angel..."
- 2002
A Murderess in Chicago
Liu makes a show-stopping appearance as a pineapple heiress-turned-killer in the movie adaptation of Chicago. The film, which stars Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere and Queen Latifah, wins the Best Picture Oscar and a SAG Award for outstanding cast.
- 2003
Not the Marrying Kind
Liu begins dating playwright Zach Helm (right), and in 2004, the pair is engaged. But they never make it to the altar, calling it quits at the end of 2004. "I don't want to settle for anything else," she tells In Style. "[Love] should be like lightning. For me it happens almost immediately." In 2005, she moves on with actor Will McCormack.
Returning for More
Liu re-teams with Barrymore and Diaz for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, and this time, they lure Demi Moore out of her film hiatus to join them as a retired Angel with a tarnished halo. Although the sequel doesn't perform as well as the first installment at the box office, it still earns more than $37 million during its opening weekend.
Chopping Off Heads
Liu plays Queen of the Tokyo Underworld, O-Ren Ishii, who attempted to murder Uma Thurman's character in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1. The film eventually earns $110 million worldwide. In one scene, Liu slices off another gang leader's head during a mob meeting. She earns the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain, but once again, Liu finds herself defending her role. "I think that because I'm Asian, people will immediately sort of label it as a 'dragon lady,'" she tells CBS. "I think if it was, you know, Renée Zellweger playing this role, nobody would say, 'Dragon lady.'"

AMERICAN IDIOT began performances at the ST. James Theatre on March 24, 2010 and open on Broadway on April 20, 2010. In anticipation of the opening next week, BroadwayWorld brings you the first production shots of the cast performing on Broadway, following by tribute shots to their world premiere performance at Berkeley Rep this past fall.
AMERICAN IDIOT follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post 9/11 world, borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. The musical includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot, as well as several songs from the band's GRAMMY® Award-winning new release, 21st Century Breakdown, such as "21 Guns."
Called a "masterpiece" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Green Day won two GRAMMY® Awards for the groundbreaking rock opera American Idiot, which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Now Billie Joe Armstrong and the band collaborate with one of the theatre's most acclaimed creative teams, led by the Tony Award-winning director of Spring Awakening, Michael Mayer, two-time Tony Award-winning composer and orchestrator Tom Kitt, and Olivier Award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett, to bring this explosive, iconic album to the stage.
The cast of AMERICAN IDIOT stars Tony Award winner John Gallagher Jr. (Spring Awakening) alongside Tony Award Nominee Stark Sands (Journey's End), Michael Esper (A Man For All Seasons), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Passing Strange), Christina Sajous (The Wild Party), Mary Faber (Avenue Q) and Tony Vincent (Jesus Christ Superstar). Also featured in the cast are Declan Bennett, Andrew Call, Gerard Canonico, Miguel Cervantes, Joshua Henry, Van Hughes, Brian CharLes Johnson , Joshua Kobak, Lorin Latarro, Omar Lopez-Cepero , Leslie McDonel, Chase Peacock , Theo Stockman, Ben Thompson , Alysha Umphress , Aspen Vincent and Libby Winters .

Senate Fails to Pass H.R. 1 & Senate FY 2011 Funding Alternative
On March 9, the Senate defeated both H.R. 1 and the Senate fiscal year (FY) 2011 funding alternative to H.R. 1. The vote for H.R. 1 was 44 to 56 and did not receive a single Democratic vote. Three members of the Senate Tea Party Caucus also opposed the bill: Senators Jim DeMint (R-SC), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mike Lee (R-UT).
The final vote for the Senate funding alternative was 42 to 58. The alternative failed to attract Republican support. Ten Democrats and one independent, a mix of centrists and liberals, voted against the Senate alternative: Michael Bennet (D-CO), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Herb Kohl (D-WI), Carl Levin (D-MI), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Bill Nelson (FL), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mark Udall (D-CO) and Jim Webb (D-VA).
Congress will pass another short-term continuing resolution (CR) this week since negotiations have yielded little progress to date on FY 2011. The House of Representatives passed another short-term CR 271-158 on March 15 to allow more time to reach consensus on appropriations levels for the final six and a half months of FY 2011. One hundred eighty-six Republicans and 85 Democrats voted for the extension while 54 Republicans joined 104 Democrats in voting against the short-term CR. The latest short-term CR would keep the federal government running until April 8. The Senate is expected to take up the short-term CR soon.
House conservatives are growing impatient with short-term CRs designed to avoid a government shutdown. The latest CR (and possibly last short-term CR) would be sixth such extension this fiscal year. Senate Democrats have refused to accede to House demands for $57.5 billion in spending cuts for FY 2011 and they have balked at GOP language that would bar the use of funds to implement Patient Protection Affordable Care Act.

Officials announced the release of Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol on Thursday. Brantly left Emory University Hospital on Thursday. Writebol left Tuesday. Family and officials say they're free of the virus. Writebol's husband says she left privately in a weakened condition to recuperate at an undisclosed location.
They were at the hospital nearly three weeks.
Dr. Bruce Ribner, medical director of the infectious disease unit at the hospital, said at a news conference that their release did not pose a public health risk.
"Today is a miraculous day," Brantly said at the news conference. "I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family. As a medical missionary, I never imagined myself in this position."
Brantly thanked all the medical staff who cared for him and people around the world who prayed for his recovery, adding, "Please do not stop praying for the people of Liberia and West Africa, and for a quick end to this Ebola epidemic."

"Nancy is free of the virus, but the lingering effects of the battle have left her in a significantly weakened condition," her husband, David, said in a statement Thursday.
"During the course of her fight, Nancy recalled the dark hours of fear and loneliness, but also a sense of the deep abiding peace and presence of God, giving her comfort," he also said. "She was greatly encouraged knowing that there were so many people around the world lifting prayers to God for her return to health."
Brantly and Writebol were flown out of the west African nation of Liberia earlier this month and have been getting treatment for the deadly disease in an isolation unit at the hospital. The two were infected while working at a missionary clinic outside Liberia's capital.
The Ebola outbreak has killed 1,350 people and counting across West Africa.
Ebola is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of sick people experiencing symptoms.

Lackluster participation in the Springville-Griffith lunch program has pushed operating costs into the red for the first time in a decade, Business Administrator Ted Welch said.
He asked Chris Mangio, district manager for Sodexo, the district's food service operator, to talk to the School Board last week to underscore the financial and gastric difficulties of meeting the newly instituted Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.
"The USDA wasn't very happy with me," Mangio said about a recent trip to Albany, where she expressed her frustrations. "I told them it's the first time in history our revenue is not sufficient to cover expenses. We're not the only district that this is happening to, and if you increase the price of lunch, you can drive more kids from the program.
"It's very challenging to work through this system and give the kids what they like."
Average daily lunch participation in Springville is down almost 13 percent since the new nutritional guidelines went into place, with the high school program dropping off most drastically.
The stricter inclusion of more fruit, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat items is only part of the reduced participation. Mangio said the 6-inch sub roll used in last year's lunches is now a 3-inch sub roll. The quarter-pound burger has become a 2-ounce burger and will be down to 1.5 ounces next year.
"The kids don't like it," she said, "and in the high school, they notice it."
Board member Kara Kane vented her frustration, saying that when her child buys a school lunch he comes home "starving."
Mangio said the official response to such complaints is that children should be encouraged to eat all five portions that comprise a school lunch and, if still hungry, buy more.
New sodium limits, yet to be enforced, will halve the school lunch sodium content from 1420 mg in 2015 to 710 mg by 2022.
"This will drive us for the next 10 years. It will change the face of school lunch," Mangio said, and add another challenge to the increasingly difficult task of getting children back into the cafeteria lunch line.

Firms will combine CompoZr and CombiCult platforms to develop ESC and iPSC protocols.[iStockphoto]
Plasticell and Sigma-Aldrich are partnering to develop new products for enabling and tracking the differentiation of stem cell lines. The collaboration will involve the use of Sigma-Aldrich's CompoZr® zinc finger nuclease technology for engineering human stem cell lines via the targeted knock-in of fluorescent reporters. Plasticell will then use the cell lines in its CombiCult™ HTS system to develop novel stem cell differentiation protocols.
The resulting stem cells and media will be commercialized together in kits, and the reporter cell lines will in addition be linked to specific CombiCult screens for use in the optimized differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Under the terms of the deal, Plasticell will retain ownership of protocols for the directed differentiation of stem cells, and Sigma-Aldrich will market the reporter stem cell lines.
"We have already demonstrated that using fluorescent reporter lines in CombiCult experiments offers a highly convenient, real-time visual readout for stem cell differentiation," states Marina Tarunina, Ph.D., Plasticell senior scientist. "Providing reporter cells as part of CombiCult enables us to offer industry partners a complete 'turnkey' solution of HTS with stem cells, ideally suited for in-house screening of compound libraries within pharmaceutical companies."
"Efficient, directed differentiation of stem cells to predetermined cell lineages remains a major challenge in the field of ESCs and iPSCs," adds Carl Schrott, director of marketing for stem cell research products at Sigma-Aldrich. "We are pleased to partner with stem cell differentiation expert Plasticell to develop complementary products that address this rapidly growing market segment."
Sigma-Aldrich's CompoZr technology has been developed to allow the creation of modified cell lines with targeted gene deletions, gene insertions, or gene corrections. The firm claims the technology generates targeted genetic alterations that are permanent and heritable, allows the creation of knock-out or knock-in cell lines in as little as two months, and requires no antibiotic selection for screening.
Plasticell's Combicult platform is a multiplexing technology the firm claims enables millions of combinations of cell culture variables to be tested in parallel for identifying the optimal protocol for any given outcome in cell biology.
The miniaturized system involves growing colonies of cells on the surface of microscopic bead-based microcarriers, which are then shuffled through various combinations of growth media that vary in composition with respect to nutrients, growth factors, hormones, and synthetic chemicals. A key step in the procedure is the labelling of microcarriers with unique tags each time they are exposed to a different culture medium, so the movement of a cell unit through the different media can be tracked, Plasticell notes.
The firm's deal with Sigma-Aldrich follows just a couple of weeks after it reported on a collaboration agreement with UCB. Under terms of this deal UCB will provide drug compound libraries with known biological targets, which Plasticell will screen using CombiCult to identify new cell-signalling pathways involved in stem cell biology, including tissue regeneration. The ultimate aim is to discover compounds with potential applications in directing stem cell differentiation or for use in stem cell media.

This week has been a whirlwind of emotion. I have experienced some of my lowest lows followed 24 hours later by my highest high in years.
On Monday we made the decision for Chad to return to America. This was not an easy decision. This left me being a single mom in Africa to four young children. But I was happy with it because the kids were with me. Chad decided to return to his job because for the past few weeks that he has been here we have been hitting walls on the paperwork front. The best case scenario we could get was that we might be able to come home in two months. We dreamed too little. My God is Great and can do anything.
So Monday night Chad got on a plane. I did not know when I would see him again. He did not know when he would love on his children again, but my God knew. Monday night was hard, two of the four kids cried including myself. Nobody slept well and the mood was quite depressing.
Then came Wednesday. I will always remember Wednesday. Chad was home in Tennessee. I did not plan on hearing from him because the jet lag is a nightmare. I left my cell phone upstairs in my room charging while the power was on and the kids and I were in the courtyard riding on their play bodas. I thought I heard my phone ringing so I ran upstairs and noticed about a dozen missed calls from Chad. First thoughts, oh no what has happened? The first thing he said to me was "We have been approved." What, Approved, What does he mean by this, Is this some cruel joke. He promised me it was true, the girls had been approved for visas. Tears.
I had been telling everybody that stayed with me at the house that the day we got approved I would be shouting, that they would be able to hear me in America. Did you hear me? I basically went running around the house like a crazy person shouting, singing, yelling, and praising.
One of my numerous thoughts was how did this happen. How did they get approved, nothing we have done has been successful. I quickly realized it was nothing I did, it was my God. The past few months I have been working frantically on trying to get my girls home. I have felt like every opportunity has ended up with doors slamming in my face. Once all the doors were shut the windows began to fall close at an alarmingly quick speed. Option were running out. Why? More Glory to God. God shut all the doors and windows, He made the lawyers hit every road block imaginable (I have had three lawyers working on this), He had Chad come and fail at bringing us home, He had us fail at every possible attempt. All so He could succeed. So we could be shown that He is Lord. I have witnessed a modern day miracle this week and I will never be the same. Share our joy this week as we prepare for life in America. Give no one the Glory but Jesus.
In 2009 my family adopted a child from Russia. All of our friends wanted to know how a single income family was able to save for a debt-free adoption. We are now adopting twin girls from Uganda. This blog is how God has grown our family.

In a WISN 12 News exclusive, a Fond du Lac man recalls the force of being struck by lightning during Tuesday's stormy weather.
Hermilio Antonio-Angel was on the job at Halquist Stone in Brownsville on Tuesday afternoon when his first clue of trouble was the sound of a huge rock falling.
He said the bolt seared through him, injuring his neck, his entire right side and shooting through his foot like an explosion.
Antonio-Angel is being treated at Columbia St. Mary's Regional Burn Center in Milwaukee.
He credited his family, faith in God and emergency workers for his recovery.
He started using a walker on Wednesday and said he is anxious to go back to work.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star wrote a post on her website Tuesday explaining that she'd gone to the hospital after feeling "a little short of breath."
"I know my body and I know when I should be concerned," she said. "After some routine tests I was diagnosed with blood clots on my lung. I'm told this happened to me because of the constant traveling around the country that I do for my job."
The 45-year-old, who posted a picture of herself in her hospital bed with her granddaughter Bri'asia, 17 months, admitted she was "thankful to be alive."
"Contrary to reports I did not have a heart attack," she clarified. "I'm thankful to be alive as the doctor advised me that most people don't recognize the symptoms of blood clots and don't go to the doctor and that's when the big problems start happening."

While Bit Transmission was always conceived as an audio-only show, we knew from the very beginning that we wanted a distinct visual style to accompany episode posts and easily identify who we are and what we're about. And with Jonathan Holmes as a resource, it was decided very quickly that he would define that style with his fantastic sprite art. The show's format and focus shifted several times over the course of half a dozen pilot episode attempts but the decision on the art never wavered and with good reason.
Now, as we approach our tenth episode, we're happy to release Bit Transmission Sprite Pack #1. It's a collection of the character sprites used for the main cast and some of the guests over the course of the first ten shows. We thought it might be a fun thing to drop these every ten episodes and encourage our listeners to produce art using the assets.
And what better way to encourage creativity than with a reward? We're kicking this first set off with a contest.
The rules are simple: Create an original image using the sprite pack that features all three of the main cast members. You're welcome to modify the sprites in any way you like, place them in any sort of environment you want to, whatever you like, and post your results in this thread. The only rules are that all three cast members (Colette, Conrad and Holmes) must be present.
What do you get for all of this hard work? That will be a surprise. The three best images (as decided by the cast) will each receive a mystery prize pack. Due to the uncertainty as to how much it will cost to ship prizes internationally, this contest is open to our fans in North America only (sorry! we'll take care of the rest of you soon, I promise!). Winners will be announced in Bit Transmission episode 11.
So grab the Sprite Pack and get crackin'! All entries must be submitted by 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time on July 2, 2010.
