It's a running joke in Charlotte that visitors only need to visit the Queen City once. Why? Because they end up moving here afterwards. That may not always be the case, but with a community so rich in captivating culture, colorful cityscapes, and cosmopolitan character, the thriving quality of life here is abundantly clear.
Charlotte's a city where Olympic-caliber adventurers rub elbows with culture mavens. A city that captivates both NASCAR heroes and finance leaders. And a city where Northern newcomers exchange smiles on the street with Carolina natives. Visitors are sure to be just as captivated too.

We are seeking additional paper presenters, a chair, and possible commenter for our proposed panel at the 2014 AHA Annual Meeting: "Disagreement, Debate, Discussion." Below is a brief description of our panel along with a list of possible paper topics. Please feel free to share this email with anyone who may be interested. Many thanks in advance.
"Who Can Speak at the World's Table?: International Debate and the Exclusion of Dissent in the United States from the Great War to the Early Cold War"
The twentieth century is often heralded as having the most inclusive global debates and discussions in history, open to all communities recognizable as a nation-state. This novel form of worldwide political inclusion was most noticeable in the creation of intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations, which was (and still is) grounded in the notion of a world populated by theoretically equal national actors; those with less geo-political power are allowed to enter an ostensibly even playing field of peaceful political debate, discussion, and even disagreement. Yet at the same time, from the creation of a League of Nations after WWI, through the post-WWII formation of the UN and the ensuing start of the Cold War, this American-led liberal-democratic international system necessitated the exclusion of dissenting perspectives, particularly anti-colonial movements "abroad" and ethnic and racialized communities at "home".
Possible paper themes:
• How rival global/imperial powers, such as France, Germany, or Great Britain for instance, informed U.S. approaches to international discussions.
• How anti-radical discourses and repressive anti-communist policies both in the U.S. and abroad formed international debate and discussion.
• The role of the civil rights movement and the black freedom struggle in shaping America's discussion and discourse in international forums.
• How racialized and exclusionary immigration policies, for example Japanese concentration camps or anti-Mexican immigration (i.e. the Bracero program), structured American global rhetoric.
• How movements based around gender and sexuality contested the American status quo, troubling the United States' global public image.
• How radical and militant anti-colonial movements influenced and challenged global discussions.
• How nationalist calls for "peaceful" decolonization found a forum in international debates.
• How competing visions of global solidarity (i.e. human rights or a "people's century,") were either embraced or suppressed by American-led liberal internationalists.
If interested in presenting please submit a 300-word abstract, a brief bio, and contact info by Feb. 3 to Allan Lumba: email@example.com

Excellent Information and excellently presented - the information and reference resources will be helpful to me in the future - wonderful experience – thanks
I appreciate the opportunity to take a course on this important and underrepresented topic
WOW~~ I never fully realized the differences yet so many similarities between different beliefs, I learned quite a bit!
I enjoyed all the information that you put together . I have been studying spirituality for 18 years and I still learned a lot from this course. Thank you for your effort to bring the best to this course.
I thank you for giving me the opportunity to obtain more knowledge about spirituality. I learned a lot in this few lessons and I will continue reading them over and over.
Wow, the reading was great! I have always believed that nurses sought to be part of the profession because of a spiritual calling (It can't be money or prestige). I have found that it is often easier to develop a therapeutic relationship with clients because I can approach the relationship with "no baggage" and clear boundaries, in return the clients seem to "bare" their soul because they can choose what to share and therefore maintain their spiritual autonomy - all valid points made in the reading.
I will have a greater understanding of the spiritual needs of my clients and therefore will be able to offer better care. Also, I have a better understanding of cultural differences which will help me to better assess the spiritual needs of my clients.
Looking forward to taking more of your online courses. Thanks for putting together such an interesting and enlightening class.
Thank you for the Spirituality, Health and Healing course....it was excellent and very thorough. I LOVED it and it has given me much to think about on my own spiritual journey.
I deal with many seniors who are facing the death of a spouse or their own death (many are in their 90's) this class opened my eyes to many ways to help and talk with these people. The quote from the course "it's harder to grow old than grow up" is so true. The physical disabilities and limitations plus the knowledge that you are growing old is very hard to take sometimes. Giving up the ability to drive is a turning point for some people, many of my seniors say "it won't be long now" when they lose the ability to drive and become dependent on children. This course gave me a wonderful understanding of the spirit in health and healing.

* IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA. 10 p.m. Thursday, FX.
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. - The forecast for July 31 called for "mostly" sunny, but as the cast and crew of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" began a day of shooting on Season 8, above at least one neighborhood in this small, affluent city north of Los Angeles the sky was a clear, uncompromising blue.
And on the ground below, there was trash piled everywhere.
Inside a brown van parked in the driveway of a home that could double for a Chestnut Hill mansion, "Sunny" stars Rob McElhenney, Danny DeVito, Kaitlin Olson, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day filmed a scene as crew members rocked the van from outside.

This means that iHerb products are on the shelf an average of only 34 days!

When ordering from us, rest assured that your credit card and personal information will remain 100% private and secure.

Dec. 26, 1949 – Jan. 9, 2013
Benjamin R. Freedman, the Buffalo native known as "The Jingle Guy" because of the thousands of musical themes he created for radio stations and disc jockeys locally and around the world, died last Wednesday in Plano, Texas, after suffering a heart attack. He was 63.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Freedman was playing drums with his own group, the Ball Bearings, when he was 12. Listening to radio stations in Buffalo and Rochester in summer camp, he became intrigued with station ID jingles.
He began his jingle-writing career when he was 14, writing songs for his cousin Fred Bock's pirate radio station and recording them using neighborhood talent in his parents' home in Amherst. While still attending Amherst High School, he was an afternoon and Saturday DJ on WYSL-FM.
Enrolling in Butler University in Indianapolis in 1968, he set up a full-time studio there for his company, WAY Productions. In Amherst, he recruited singers to form A Capellas Unlimited, which harmonized commercials and radio station promos.
By the mid-1970s, he was creating jingles for BBC Radio One and Radio Luxembourg from an elaborate studio he built in his own home in North Buffalo. He moved to Dallas in 1988 and was an executive for major jingle companies there until he formed his own company in 1995. According to his website, Ben Freedman Productions is "the oldest continuously operated radio ID jingle company on the planet."
He moved back to the Buffalo area to be near his aging parents in 1997. While here, he created new jingle packages for Danny Neaverth and Tommy Shannon on WHTT 104 FM and established Jingle University online to teach newcomers the business.
Returning to Dallas about 10 years ago, he continued creating jingles part time and was a salesman for Scott Studios, which markets studio equipment.
In addition to jingles, he worked as a production manager for 25 years with his late father, Alan L. "Bud," in Bergman Tool Manufacturing Co. on Niagara Street on Buffalo's West Side, which made adjustable wrenches, pliers and other tools for mechanics and tradesmen.
Surviving are his wife of 27 years, the former Noreen Del Monte; two sons, Joshua and Ben Jr.; a daughter, Jessica Geiman; and a sister, Barbara Condrell. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

Friday, the Stetson sand volleyball team suffered a tough loss to Georgia State by a score of 3-2 on the first day of the Fiesta on Siesta Key.
"It was a hard loss," senior Kaley Melville explained. "We really had to fight at every seed. All the matches were a battle."
The match featured intense competition in which every seed went to a third set. Stetson got its first loss at the no. 5 position when Georgia State's Alexis Townsend and Delaney Rohan defeated Tiffany Creamer and Kristin Lind 21-18, 16-21, 15-11. The Hatters lost another close match at the two spot. Stetson's Savannah Byl and Catherine Coston came within two points of victory, but they were outlasted by the Georgia State pair of Sara Olivova and Jansen Button. Georgia State solidified the win at the third seed as Stetson's Julie Bassett and Rachael Farrell fell 21-16, 19-21, 15-12 to Katelyn Rawls and Sara Agnew.
Although Georgia State had already secured a victory with its 3-0 lead, Stetson continued to battle for the final two seeds. In the no. 1 position, Melville and her partner Kaylee Anderson gave Stetson its first victory. After losing the first set 18-21, the duo came back to win the next two sets 21-18, 15-11. The final action took place at the fourth seed as Stetson's Maren Rygh and Jordann Dierickx played Georgia State's Milani Pickering and Natalie Wilson. The competition was close throughout the match, and the third set went into extra points before Rygh and Dierickx finally won 20-18.
"It was really exciting to watch Maren and Jordann," Melville said. "Their match was really intense, and the whole team was cheering for them on the sidelines."Stetson is now 14-3 for the season. The Fiesta on Siesta Key will continue tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. with the pairs tournament.

It's hard not to notice more people rocking out on the slopes these days.
Over the past decade, rocker and reverse camber equipment has steadily taken over the ski and snowboard industry. The new technology, with its raised tip and tail, has its pros and cons, but without doubt has opened doors for riders of all levels and made the mountain more accessible for the weekend warrior. Rocker is beginner-friendly, park fun and powder-slashing ready.
"If your average skier is skiing powder or chop and they don't have a bunch of days to burn, this early rise (rocker) is a real equalizer," Sports LTD manager Eric Bickert said. "They rip. Are all my skis rocker? No, but they have a place."
Understanding rocker's place and recognizing individual riding needs are crucial to finding the right fit. There are an overwhelming number of choices out there. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of it all, understand this: Rocker or reverse camber means a raised tip and tail in one manner or another.
There is no simple answer to the question that was on most riders' lips during the past decade. It all depends on individual style and day-to-day conditions.
Since it all began with regular camber, let's start there. When a regular camber ski or snowboard lies flat, the center arches up and the outside contact points are pushed into the snow. Think of a low rainbow.
With pushed down contact points, regular camber generally offers more stability and edge control. This is all good when a rider is looking for consistent landings and reliable stability at high speeds, but more edge also means a tougher learning curve for beginners who are face-planting while picking up the basics.
When a ski or board has reverse camber, flip that rainbow upside down. The tip and tail are now raised out of the snow. There are many variations on this, of course, but let's not jump ahead.
Obviously, raised tip and tail means less edge catch for beginners as they start linking turns. It also provides a looser, skateboard feel on the snow. Not hard to connect that this equals a good time in the park and more float in the powder.
"When there's powder, it allows you to go enjoy yourself because you put less energy in and get more out of it," Bicket said.
Riders who aren't into powder or park and already know the basics should probably stick to regular camber. Regular camber was made for those who love cutting hard and fast on fresh corduroy runs.
"If it's a hard-pack day, don't take your rockers out. If it's a chop or mashed potato, or just plain old knee-deep, that's when you take the rockers out," Bicket said.
Strip it down and reverse camber is good for beginners, advanced powder hounds looking for cruise control and riders trying to up style points in the park.
Since regular camber isn't as fluid or loose, new tricks are easier to learn on reverse camber, especially on rails and boxes (jibbing) where edges are the enemy.
While reverse definitely has the edge on rails, or lack thereof, an argument can be made that regular camber has better pop. Riders can load up on those pushed-down contact points before launching. Reverse camber combats this with increased carbon stringers and usually a stiffer flex to complement the degree of reverse camber. So hypothetically, riders should be able to get sufficient pop out of either.
Consistent landings, however, are absolutely brought to you by regular camber. While it's easier to grab an extra rotation on reverse, it's also easier to wash out on landings. Without that extra edge bite, sometimes skis and boards just keep spinning. It takes skills to truly master the reverse camber landing, but it can be done.
Conditions are key and rocker was built for the powder.
"People can still ski the middle of the ski and not have to go from carve position to back seat survival position in the trees," Bicket said.
Rocker will certainly save the legs some work in the trees. In the powder, regular camber riders work harder. They must use more leg muscles to keep their weight in the backseat, but some will sacrifice that for the familiar stability.
Bottom line, rocker has the advantage in powder and is making trees possible for a larger number of people.
"Now rocker has opened it up for all skill levels, and that is a downside because the mountain tracks faster," Bicket said. "But boo hoo, because on a powder day you go get your lines."
Once the reverse camber decision is reached, then it's time to pick the rocker. Each company has its own take on reverse camber, and the best way to find the right fit is to give them a try at a demo shop, but here are the basics.
Most rocker technology is headed to camber underfoot with different degrees of raised tip and tails. This gives the more traditional feel of regular camber, but still allows for more float in the powder and less catch in the park. These are usually pricier but combine the best of both worlds.
There is a park rocker, which is mostly flat under foot with kick-ups at the tip and tail. The flat underfoot encourages more solid landings without too much edge on the rail.
There is a beginner rocker, which rises at the tip and tail and the outside edges. Think of a canoe. This is also similar to concave gear, which is popular in park because it means even less edges while jibbing. Again, landings get tricky and turning becomes beyond difficult without edges. This technology is straight beginner or rail junkie.
There is still the straight reverse camber out there that just starts going up from the middle and doesn't stop, the original snow skateboard. Along those lines, there is extreme rocker gear for heavy powder days that gives rocking chairs a run for their money.
Some gear has rocker in the front only and some is just completely flat.
Rocker is here to stay, but before making the leap, definitely hit up a demo shop to figure out if the new technology is for you. There are many rocker choices out there, so do some homework and then talk to someone in a shop who is knowledgeable.
"The bottom line is there is a time and place for everything and rocker is not magic, but it has its place," Bicket said. "You have to know how to ski, but if you can learn a slightly different technique, rocker is badass."

text: The hut was built in 1893 and during the first few decades of its existence had so many visitors that its capacity had to be increased. At the beginning of the 21st century, the architect Toni Spirig is commissioned to design a new building for the Kesch Hut. His energy efficient concept wins approval. One of the large facades faces south. Here, photovoltaic surfaces are mounted which produce the electricity for lighting, freezers and washing machines. On the roof, collectors are fixed that generate hot water. The point is not only to produce, but also to conserve energy based on good insulation. The large windows have an especially high degree of transparency for light and warmth and thereby help heat the rooms. During bad weather, a turbine linked to the water pipes takes care of basic electric energy needs. Spirig opines: "Today's visitor to the hut expects sufficient space, orderliness and cleanliness even at 2,625 meters. The Davos Section wants no part of the early SAC image of stale air and dusty woollen blankets. There is generous space, and duvets have replaced the woollen blankets." The beds are equipped with duvets. WC and washing facilities are available, taking a warm shower is possible when the solar installation provides sufficient energy. Access is from Bergün, Davos, Cinuos-chel (Engadine), each route taking four and a half hours.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - On the open seas of the Pacific, as the sun would set on the vast stretch of blue, Owen A. Hill fell in love with finance. Sailing mostly to and from Hawaii on merchant ships, the officer spent idle time doing what he loved - studying numbers and learning about money.
"I read everything I could," Hill said. "It was a great job for reading - time when you couldn't go anywhere."
As his ships sailed down the U.S. coast and went south to cities like Rio and Valparaiso, a young Hill continued to study and read; he did his own taxes each year, something he found more of a hobby than anything else.
"They actually pay people for what I'd been doing for myself all those years at sea," Hill said.
Although he loved the peace of the open sea, at 22 years old Hill knew he didn't want to be on the ship forever, and he wanted to put his money to work. Twenty six years after working on ships, Hill decided to pursue his passion for financial planning and tax income preparation.
"I didn't want to be stuck out on the sea for the rest of my working life," Hill said.
Hill retired from the ship at age 49 and settled back on the West Coast where he began the second half of his life and a new career in finance.
Today, Hill owns North Lake Tahoe Financial Services, where he offers fee-only financial planning, investment portfolio review, accounting services and tax return preparation.
Not only his years studying at sea, but also his experience with the National Association of Enrolled Agents as well as the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors make Hill highly experienced and qualified as a financial adviser. He is a certified Financial Planner as well as a Registered Investment Advisor in both California and Nevada.
At North Lake Tahoe Financial Services, Hill finds that all clients are different, and spending good time with each is crucial to his work.
"It's important to talk with people about what their goals are," Hill said. "Nobody is the same."
Knowing each client's back story as well as his or her future goals allows Hill to create plans that fit individuals' needs.
"It's kind of like a check-up you'd get from your doctor's office to tell you about your financial health," Hill said.
He and Client Service Manager Corinne Petra work out of their office in Incline, catering to clients in the Tahoe area as well as people across the country. Clients range from traveling nurses, to small business owners, and Hill advises many merchant seamen as well.
"I can relate," Hill said. "They're away from home a lot, and they would rather retire sooner than later."
Hill enjoys his work, describing his job as "not ever one where I'm looking at the clock." He spends a lot of time researching each client's needs to better cater to their financial goals.
"Owen takes the extra time and does the extra research," Petra said. "He continues to do what is best for the client, not just what's easiest for him."
Hill charges hourly for his services and says that if a process takes five minutes, "we charge five minutes."
He usually advises his clients to invest in mutual funds and to start as early as possible.
"Nobody in their 20s wants to do that, and it's a shame because that's when it has extra time to grow," he said.
Hill usually doesn't advise his clients to invest in timeshare properties. But last year when he and his wife, Gail, were in San Diego, a high rise building in Pacific Beach caught the couples' eye, and because "our time there wouldn't fall during tax season, and just happens to fall on both of our birthdays," he said he went against his own advice.
The wallpaper on Hill's desktop computer is a photo of a long stretch of beach. His eyes are as blue as the water he once sailed and he looks forward to spending time near the sea.
"We miss the salt water beaches and salty air," he said.
Whether he and Gail are vacationing in Hawaii, on the beaches of Waikiki, or in San Diego, Hill takes pleasure standing on the beach, feeling this feet in the sand as the sunsets behind the Pacific. Hill is glad to be on land, to be grounded.
"I watch the ships leave and know I don't have to be on it," he said.

B-U?PLACES?THIRD: Buckhannon-Upshur placed third in a tight quadrangular match Tuesday afternoon at the Tygart Lake Golf Club.
Bridgeport and Grafton matched stroke-for-stroke, ending in a 164-164 deadlock. Buckhannon-Upshur was right behind at 169 with Trinity placing fourth with a team tally of 202.
Grafton's Lucas Ware led the Bearcats by running away with the individual title in the event.
Ware sizzled the layout, carding a sterling 31 which was six under par for the course. He was complemented by Michael Crutchfield's 38.
Bridgeport's Brent Rhodes and Mario Oliverion each turned in 38 scores in what was a balanced Indian lineup.
Buckhannon-Upshur also had a balanced scoring lineup, but like Bridgeport, simply had no answer for the big day from Ware.
Dalton Crislip led the Bucs with a nine-hole score of 39. He was followed by Dalton Westfall's 40, a 43 from Stetson West, a 47 from Jacob Hinzman, a 48 from Nathan Gall, and a 54 from Jeffrey Davis.

The 9 Most Brilliant Pieces of Comedy Hiding on YouTube
#4. Bob and Ed Scream for Help
Take out the captions and this is just a video of two goats calling out loudly, with mildly human-sounding voices. But put in a simple text caption and, suddenly, it's comedy gold. What we now have is two goats, separated, but not by far. They're so close to finding each other, but just can't quite make that last trek to reconnect. The first goat screams out, "Bob! Help!" over and over. I would have been perfectly happy watching just that. But when the camera switches to the other goat, I lost it, hearing him yell back, "Ed!" As if he had spent days looking for his lost friend.
But the real beauty is watching the video twice. That's when you start to hear what you didn't hear before. The goat in the foreground screaming out for his friend, Bob. And in the background, hearing Bob yelling back for him in the distance after each call. It's another case of something so, so simple. But holy shit, the comedy it creates is pure genius.
#3. Headbanging While Making Fire
There is no reason in the world this should be this funny to me, but I can't stop laughing. What's going on is that there is actual music playing, but it's coming out of a headset, and the camera is just far enough away that it's not picking it up. Meanwhile, the guy in the Speedo is trying to get a fire going by fanning air into the coals with a boat oar. All while his friend is headbanging along to the music that we can't hear.
My favorite parts are when the fire-making Speedo guy can't help it anymore and slowly busts out some headbang of his own. Like he had been holding it back all this time so he could get this damn fire going ... but there's only so much you can take before the mosh just overtakes you. Finally, he has enough of the fanning, tosses the oar and dives into the lake. The video ends with some death metal screaming, and that's it. That's exactly what would have happened, even without the camera rolling. I'm 100 percent positive of that.
#2. I Don't Want My Pizza Burning
What I'm about to show you is one of the most frightening things you're ever likely to see in your life. And make no mistake, this is funny for reasons that she never, ever intended. Yes, she attempted comedy, but I assure you that her jokes are not the reason you'll find this hilarious. And if they are, you're probably at the wrong website.
That's from a woman who dabbles in computer animation, so the video itself was made by her. One day she remembered that, as a kid, she had convinced her sister that when the Rolling Stones sang "I'll never be your beast of burden" they were actually singing "I don't want my pizza burnin'." Now, as far as puns go, that's not all that bad. But she tried to make an entire video out of that one-second joke, and it just ... goddamn.
The song itself is bad enough. She just took the MP3 of the Rolling Stones' song and put it in the background. Then she grabbed a shitty headset mic and started singing her lyrics over the top of their song ... horribly. Aside from the pops and cracks in the audio from her basically sucking off the microphone, she can't sing in even the general area of the correct key. And the jokes are so fucking bad. Then you get the added sucker punch of them all being not even remotely timed. Like maybe she sang her version separately, without using the music as a cue, and then slapped them together later. There's every possibility that this is actually the way she did it.
But then there's the animation. Holy Christ, that animation. For three and a half minutes, we're treated to the most psychotic mindfuck ever displayed through digital means. I'm convinced that this is what they make child molesters watch in hell. But don't you dare close that out in mid video. Because until you see her slowly turn toward the camera and do this, you have never truly experienced fear:
There are two types of people who watch this video. The first type stares in confusion and says, "I don't get it. That's stupid. She's not funny." And they close it out, never to think of it again. The second type are the ones who realize it's not about her attempt at comedy. It's everything else about the video that we find funny. The things she never intended. It's her honest attempt at making something that falls so far from the mark, psychologists could devote entire careers to its analysis. I'm begging you to not be a part of that first group, because there is so much more in this video that you're missing.
#1. Heinz Automato
I'm still not entirely sure if this is truly an amateur attempt or if it's a company thing designed to be viral. Either way, it's one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever seen, and it didn't get popular for five years. What? How? What the hell is wrong with the world, that this video can't be among the most watched YouTube videos in history?
It's two remote controlled cars with ketchup bottles strapped to them and compressed air feeds in the back. For added visual excitement, they slapped some plastic spinning muscle arms on the side and let it rip. The first one pulls up to a hot dog and just blasts the ever-loving fuck out of it with ketchup, missing everything but the last inch, and flooding the table with huge, runny globs. It takes a second to readjust its aim, but by that point, the bottle is almost empty. So with the compressed air still shooting through the bottle, it just farts and sprays a powerful mist of ketchup all over hell.
After the complete hilarious failure of the first one, the smaller of the two pulls up to its tiny hotdog, trips face first into the plate, spins its little arms and fires a single blast of ketchup through the air in the opposite direction. And I've never laughed harder at something so completely meaningless in my life.
I totally understand that comedy is subjective. I know that if everyone had the same sense of humor, it would be a really boring world, and making comedy would be the easiest career in the world. But I refuse to live in a world where these videos aren't the most popular things on the Net. We should all be ashamed.

As a part of the 2012 Homecoming festivities on the Stetson University campus, there will be an induction ceremony for the newest members of the Stetson Athletics Hall of Fame.
The eight new members of the Hall of Fame, who were voted on by the Hall of Fame selection committee, will take their place alongside all of the greats in Stetson Athletics history at an induction brunch, scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 3, at the new Athletics Training Center.
The class of 2012 includes athletes from six sports and will increase the total membership of the Hall of Fame to 160 members. This will be the first Hall of Fame class since 2010.
"We are excited to welcome the newest members of the Stetson Athletics Hall of Fame," Director of Athletics Jeff Altier said. "I can't think of a better weekend to induct these great examples of what Hatters Athletics is all about than Homecoming weekend. There will be so much excitement around campus that weekend, and the induction will be an important part of the festivities."
The newest members of the Stetson Athletics Hall of Fame will be: Tom Creavy (golf), Marcus Echtler (tennis), April Eilering (soccer), Chris Johnson (baseball), Melissa Wiggins Mangino (softball), Brian Snyder (baseball), Dr. Nefertiti Walker (basketball) and Bob Weickel (coach).
Tickets for the Hall of Fame induction brunch are available for $25 each by contacting Stacy Turner in the Athletics Department. Her phone number is 386-822-8100 and her e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Below are short biographical sketches of each of the new Stetson Athletics Hall of Famers.
Tom Creavy (1989-92) – A native of Westchester, NY, Creavy won the Trans-American Athletics Conference individual golf title in 1990, an accomplishment that remained unmatched at Stetson until just this past year when Sam Ryder won the A-Sun title. He earned first team All-TAAC honors in 1991 and 1992 and earned league player of the year honors both years. One of the highlights of his amateur career was a convincing 3 & 2 victory over Tiger Woods at the Monroe Invitational in 1993. Creavy turned pro in 1994 and played on various tours before becoming one of the top teaching professionals in the nation. Over the years he has worked with players such as Nick Faldo, Nick Price and Ernie Els. After opening his own teaching academy in Orlando in 2000, Creavy became the full time coach for Se Ri Pak, helping her to 18 LPGA Tour victories, including three majors.
Marcus Echtler (2004-08) – A native of Venice, Fla., Echtler was a four-time first team All-Atlantic Sun Conference selection and, in 2006, he was named the A-Sun Player of the Year and the Stetson University Male Athlete of the Year. He was the first tennis player in Stetson and A-Sun history to earn an invitation to play as an individual in the NCAA championships. He posted a career record of 44-37 in singles play while also posting a 62-28 mark in doubles competition. In addition to his accomplishments on the court, he was also a four-time A-Sun All-Academic team member and he earned the Wendell N. Jarrard Sr. Award from Stetson University. He was named the Scholar Athlete of the Year and earned the Distinguished Senior Award at Stetson.
April Eilering (2003-06) – A native of Troy, Ill., Eilering finished her career as the most accomplished goal keeper in Stetson women's soccer history. She posted 29 career shutouts in four seasons, and allowed just 1.025 goals per game for her career, almost a full goal per game better than the next best player. She was named Atlantic Sun Conference Freshman of the Year in 2003 and was also named to the Southeast Region All-Freshman team. She capped her career by earning A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year honors. She was a first team All-Conference selection in 2006 and was named to the A-Sun All-Tournament team in 2005 and 2006. She was a four-time A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week. She was also a three-time Academic All-Conference selection and was named Stetson's Female Student-Athlete of the Year and Distinguished Senior in 2006.
Chris Johnson (2005-06) – A native of Naples, Fla., Johnson spent just two seasons as an active member of the Stetson baseball program, but left a lasting mark on the program. He was named the A-Sun Freshman of the Year in 2005 and followed up by earning first team All-Conference honors as a sophomore. Over his two seasons he posted a .379 batting average in 125 games, blasting 19 home runs with 118 RBI. He was named the Hatters' most outstanding offensive player for both seasons. After earning third team All-America honors in 2006, he capped his Stetson career by being named to the NCAA Regional All-Tournament team. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2006 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros and made his Major League debut during the 2009 season. This past summer Johnson was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks where he immediately stepped in as a middle of the order offensive threat. So far in his big league career Johnson has posted a .276 batting averaged with 33 home runs and 171 RBI in 348 games over four seasons. In 2012 he blasted a career-best 15 homers while also driving in a career best 76 runs with a .281 average.
Melissa Wiggins Mangino (2003-06) – A native of Temple Terrace, Fla., Wiggins capped her career by being named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year in 2006. A third baseman for the Hatters, Wiggins was twice named to the A-Sun first team All-Conference squad after earning All-Freshman team honors in 2003 and second team All-Conference in 2004. During her career she set school records for career hits, doubles, home runs, RBI, slugging percentage and walks and she is second in career batting average. She still holds the records for career hits, doubles and slugging. She was named the A-Sun Player of the Week five times during her career and was a second team NFCA All-Region selection in 2006.
Brian Snyder (2001-03) – A native of Tampa, Fla., Snyder capped his three-year career with the Stetson baseball program by earning first team All-America honors from Baseball America in 2003 before becoming the highest drafted player in Stetson history when he was selected by the Oakland A's with the 26th overall pick in the 2003 draft. Snyder was a two-time first team Atlantic Sun All-Conference pick and was a member of the All-Freshman team in 2001, earning Freshman All-America honors as well. His name still dots the Stetson record book where he ranks fourth in career batting average (.373), second in slugging percentage (.645) and on-base percentage (.481), fifth in runs scored (188), fourth in doubles (56) and seventh in home runs (32). He spent four years playing professionally, reaching AA. He currently works as a volunteer assistant coach at Jacksonville University.
Dr. Nefertiti Walker (2004-06) – A native of Atlanta, Ga., Walker quickly became a star both on and off the court at Stetson after transferring from Georgia Tech. During her first season with the Hatters she led the league in free throw shooting and was second in the nation. She was a second team All-Conference pick after averaging 15.6 points per game, and was then named to the A-Sun All-Tournament team after scoring 22 points per game in leading the Hatters to the league title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Walker followed up as a senior by earning unanimous selection to the first team All-Conference squad while leading the league in scoring (21.5 ppg) and free throw percentage (91.9) – ranking in the top 10 nationally, seventh and fourth respectively, in both categories. She piled up 1,061 points in just two seasons and completed her playing career by scoring in double figures in 52 consecutive games. Since completing her degree at Stetson, she went on to earn her M.B.A. (Stetson) and Ph.D. (Florida) and she now serves as an Assistant Professor of Sport Management at the University of Massachusetts.
Bob Weickel (1960-2013) – A native of Huntington Station, NY, there are very few jobs Weickel has not held in his 52 years as a member of the Stetson Athletics family. "Mr. Hatter" is in his 33rd, and final, season as the Hatters men's golf coach, a tenure that has covered three different tours of duty. In addition he has served as assistant men's basketball coach under legendary head coach Glenn Wilkes (1960-74), as both assistant (1960-64) and head baseball coach (1965-68). He has served as Director of Intramurals (1962-84), as a professor of Sport Management (1962-2005), as Physical Education Director (1973-93) and as Assistant Athletic Director (1984-95). In addition to earning his Master's Degree from Stetson, his son, Kevin, is a Stetson grad and former Hatters baseball player who is now the head golf pro at Disney World.

The act of filling an empty box full of rocks, then placing it in a location likely to be seen by many drunken college students. This is because, to an inebriated man, it is nearly impossible to resist the urge to kick seemingly empty box as hard as humanly possible. The result is hilarious.

A controversial financing plan for the Beach Co.'s high-end Kiawah River Plantation development is poised at the starting line and will face its first official hurdle early next month.
What's next
Here are the next steps for the Kiawah River Plantation TIF:April 25: The Beach Co. and a consultant will make a presentation on the plan to Charleston County Council. May 2: County Council's Finance Committee will vote on whether to move forward with the plan. May 7: The full council will vote on whether to proceed, if it was approved by the Finance Committee.If the full council approves the plan, council must schedule a public hearing and give the other groups that would forgo tax revenue a 45-day notice of the hearing. Those groups are the Charleston County School District, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission and the St. Johns Fire District. The groups then can submit comments before the public hearing.County Council then would have to pass an ordinance with three readings for the plan to be final.
The company has asked Charleston County to approve a special tax district to pay for more than $84 million in improvements to the 2,000-acre property on the southern end of Johns Island. Company representatives have said the plan would help them get the project off the ground, which, in turn, would spark the local economy.
Opponents call the plan a subsidy for a developer.
County Council will hear a presentation on the project April 25, then will vote May 7 on whether to move forward with it. Even if County Council approves the plan that day, it still has several more hurdles to jump before the deal is complete.
County Council Chairman Teddie Pryor said he's not yet sure whether he supports the plan. He's going to wait until after the presentation by the Beach Co. and a consultant from the group Municap before he decides how he will vote.
Municap is a public finance consulting firm that has conducted research for the county on the impact of the 45-year plan. The Beach Co. covered the cost of most its services.
Councilman Dickie Schweers, who is opposed to the plan, said the financial arrangement could raise concerns about the objectivity of the consultant's work. "Consultants usually know who's paying them." he said.
Kevin O'Neill, vice president of Beach Development, said the company is paying for the consulting services because county staff members didn't have the expertise to evaluate the company's proposal. He also said the county chose Municap, and that The Beach Co. had no input into which consultant would be hired.
The financing plan the county is considering approving for Kiawah River is known as a tax-increment financing district, or TIF. It would pay for improvements to the property, such as roads, expanded fire services and a sewage treatment facility, with future tax revenue the development would generate.
Three other taxing entities also would have to give up future tax revenue for the project to move forward. They are the Charleston County School District, Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission and St. Johns Fire District. The largest share of the money, about $63 million, would come from the school district.
O'Neill has said the financing plan wouldn't be a burden to county taxpayers because there would be no property tax revenue if the development is not built.
He also said that so far all of the taxing entities that would have to give up revenue "are open to taking a good, hard look at the plan to see how they would benefit" in the future.
Eric Britton, chairman of the St. Johns Fire District Commission, said his group is reconsidering participating in the plan.
He also said Municap is working with the commission to help it make an informed decision. The Beach Co. is paying Municap for that work.
Schweers said he thinks that the county considering a plan that in effect would give the Beach Co. the go-ahead for the development of about 1,200 high-end homes, a hotel and a golf course sets a "dangerous and irresponsible precedent."
It means county taxpayers would be vested in residential development, and that other developers will seek similar arrangements from the county.

The mayor's support of South Lake Tahoe becoming a charter city is really not a good step for the city to take. As councilmen Cole and Davis have expressed concerns over this action, so should all the residents of this community.
First, the mayor's reasoning behind this option is seriously flawed beginning with the fact that charter cities in California represent only 20 percent of the total cities in the state. That in itself should give everyone serious concern.
Second, drawing a new group of leaders in and paying them for full-time positions should be definitely out of consideration. By the mayor's own admission, the city already has a budget deficit from various aspects of its operation's as a result of big ideas and minimal growth and now having to cut funding and staff, plus rising costs in benefit areas, holding elections, etc. Then, by offering full-time compensation and generating competittion and diversity, you're guaranteed of getting only professional politicians and where only the wealthy will be able to buy their way onto the council, not to mention the added strain on the budget. Council members should come only from local residents who serve out of love and devotion to their community and to their fellow residents, not paid professional politicians who come and go whenever and wherever they choose.
Does our current mayor fall into this category - coming in, "stirring the pot" so to speak, then leaving in a few years to continue her career elsewhere? Longtime locals who serve on the council receive a stipened for their service out of devotion, not as a paid obligation.
Becoming a charter city is not for the city of South Lake Tahoe.

Dipping sauce
From BBQ Wiki
Revision as of 01:20, 15 November 2013 by Christine Porretta (Talk | contribs)
A condiment you dip cooked barbecue into. Thai peanut sauce is one of the quintessential dipping sauces; so is Cambodian dipping sauce. While you find dipping sauces in many parts of the world, Southeast Asia is their epicenter. This makes sense, because for Asians, barbecue means tiny kebabs and paper-thin slices of meat, which are just perfect for dipping in tiny bowls of flavorful sauce.

Well I am sure both media sites are trying to create something out of nothing here. Yakupov made some comments and Cherry replied to it thats all.
The game will for sure be decided by the better defensive team, Canada's lockout line was insane against Germany but the first true test will be against the USA, if they beat this team easily too then Russia is going to have a very hard time overcoming the Canadians.
Gauging by their performances against Sweden and Germany, Can and USA seem to be on very similar paths. USA vs Swe (3-2 OT), Can vs Swe (2-1 SO), Can vs Ger (9-3), USA vs Ger (8-0). We'll see how that pans out when they hit the same ice.

Skeptical at first, now I'm sold Review by Kristen
Price Value Quality
I looked at these before baby came along, but I thought they were a bit ridiculous. Well I learned my lesson. After baby came I discovered just how much he needs to be held during all hours of the day, and if I was ever going to manage to do anything (including eat or nap myself), I would have to figure something out. I tried a sling, but I found that after an extended period I became uncomfortable with it pulling on only one shoulder (though baby was cozy). I finally gave in and tried a wrap style carrier. I started out by 'making' my own - fortunately I had a long piece of t-shirt material in my sewing bin. It quickly became clear that he loved it, but my home-made attempts wouldn't really cut it. I considered getting better fabric from the shop, but realized by the time I did that I was just as well of buying a proper one.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
And I am so glad I did! The fabric is perfect - sturdy but just enough stretch. It is finished nicely on the edges, and tapered to make it easy to tie. It is comfortable for me, hugging my back and shoulders beautifully. And baby loves it, falling asleep tucked in with mommy. It is a little hot for me on the hottest days of summer, but baby doesn't seem to mind. It is also great for keeping him upright after eating because he sometimes has trouble with gas and this gets all the bubbles out as I move around. It is easy to take places, can be rolled up in a bag no problem. And when he's in it I can move around, sit down, even lie down for a nap, and baby is content. This will get a lot of use, and I will certainly recommend it to any new or expecting moms I meet. (Posted on 7/13/10)
An excellent option for carrying babies from newborn to about three or four months Review by Rebecca
Quality Price Value
I bought the Moby Wrap for my second child and could not have been happier. My daughter loved being carried in the Moby Wrap, and she happily took her naps in it as well. My baby was a bit colicky, and being wrapped up close to me calmed her. Most significant for me, perhaps, was the fact that I could nurse her in it while sitting or even while walking. This is especially helpful when you have another child to look after. When my daughter was small (under three months), I opted for the Moby Wrap over a number of other carriers I had, including the baby bjorn, the Ergo, and the Hotsling. By the time she got to be about three or four months, I found that my back began to hurt if I carried her for too long, and I switched to the Ergo carrier. It is possible to use the Moby Wrap for bigger children by strapping them to your back, but this always seemed a little cumbersome to me.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
The Moby Wrap does take a little time to get used to, but I found that after a couple of weeks, I could put it on very quickly. Generally, I think that there are few better carrying options for an infant.
A message from the bynature.ca family:
For safety reasons, we do not recommend using a stretchy wrap carrier for back-carrying. (Posted on 7/2/10)
Great newborn wrap Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
The Moby Wrap is a soft wrap that is excellent for newborns. It has a bit of a learning curve but is a great wrap to learn on. At first it might feel awkward but before you know it, you'll be wrapping tightly and comfortably in mere minutes.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
However the con is definitely for people with big babies like me. Since mine have all been 9-10 lbs, I found the stretch in the fabric to make me feel baby's weight sooner than a wrap without stretch. It is great until about 18 lbs (which for me is just a few months), and then I tend to move onto another babywearing tool like a woven wrap. But for some people with smaller or slower gaining babies, 18 lbs could easily last a long long time comfortably! (Posted on 1/3/11)
Not ideal if you're short on time Review by Shelagh
Quality Price Value
I love the quality and versatility of the Moby wrap, and if you take the time to practice it's not that hard to get used to putting it on. What it IS, unfortunately, is time consuming, and when your baby is shrieking sometimes you don't want to stand around for several minutes putting on your baby carrier. Mine got much less use than I thought it would because of that. Either my fussy baby would already be crying and I couldn't take the time to get the wrap on, or I'd have put it on to go somewhere and the baby would decide he didn't want to be carried like that and I'd have wasted the time.Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
For a more relaxed baby or one who loves to be carried/held close I think it would be great, but it didn't work out for us as well as I'd hoped.
The other con the Moby has is that because it's so long it's difficult to put on outside without dragging the ends on the ground and getting them dirty. (Posted on 6/30/10)
Most comfortable wrap I've tried Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality
I bought myself one of these wraps for my third baby and love it. I especially liked it when he was a newborn because he snuggled into it really well and I didn't have to worry about his head flopping around. Every time we went for a walk he would just fall asleep. Now that he's a little older I wrap him facing out (which uses the same wrapping technique) and he really likes that too. The Moby Wrap really spreads the weight across the shoulders and back so it's pretty easy on your body.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
All the Moby Wrap comes with is an instruction booklet so I found it a little confusing to figure out, but once I had the main wrap technique down that's all I needed to learn. I also don't like how much fabric it is, I'm not a very big person so it wraps and wraps around me, plus if I try to put it on outside the ends always drag on the ground.
Overall though I do really like the Moby wrap, it is the most comfortable wrap by far. (Posted on 7/5/10)
Perfect for the early days Review by Nikki
Price Value Quality
I loved my Moby when my daughter was under 10 lbs or so. She was so cozy, all snuggled up on my chest. I found the stretchy wrap to be the perfect introduction to wraps because you can "pop" baby in and out, unlike woven wraps - it makes the wrapping process a little less daunting.
I'm expecting #2 and can't wait to snuggle the little one in my Moby again.
Another commenter mentioned that the ends drag on the ground when you're getting the wrap on. I found it easier to tie the wrap on before I left the house, even under my coat in the winter, and then just "pop" baby in when we got where we were going. Voila - no muddy ends!
One caveat: In my opinion it's not safe to wear a baby on your back in a stretchy wrap, no matter what the Moby instructions say. It's just too unstable. If you want to do a back carry, I recommend a woven wrap. And lots of practice with a spotter or over a soft couch or bed! (Posted on 1/4/11)
We only got a few weeks out of it, but it was good for those few weeks Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
We tried a Moby wrap first, and initially, it worked well. It does take a while to get the hang of the wrap, but it wasn't too steep a learning curve. It kept my baby high enough so that my c-section scar wasn't bothered, which was nice, especially early on.Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
However, I had a big kid (almost 10 lbs at birth, and he gained fast) so by 2 months, this was getting harder to use - it needed constant adjusting, usually just as the boy fell asleep, which would wake him up. I think it's just the nature of stretchy wraps, based on what I've heard from others. (Posted on 1/4/11)
Ok, but not for me! Review by Momtolila
Price Value Quality
My baby liked the Moby wrap for the first few weeks...at first she seemed very comfy in there, and she has had a few great naps in it. Unfortunately, I wasn't that crazy about it! Although I'd read many reviews that said it wasn't that hard to wrap, and I watched YouTube videos showing how...I found the wrapping to be a bit of a pain. It would be impossible to do anywhere that you didn't want the 15 feet of material to touch the floor, such as a parking lot, or shopping mall. I also found that it was difficult to wear over even a tank top! It was constantly bunching up and getting out of place on my shoulders. I could wear it with just a bra, but how useful is that for walks in the park? Also try to settle a squirmy baby in it! These days, now that she is much more awake, my baby only wants to be placed in it when she is already pretty sleepy and calm. I might try it again when she's a little older and I can have her legs hang out. Honestly though, its probably not worth all the hassle for me. (Posted on 5/16/12)

Lot # 1622 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1938 R69 Gum, Inc. "Horrors of War" Complete Set (288) Plus Historic 1938 Life Magazine
Starting Bid - $1,000.00 , Sold For - $4,406.25
Exceptionally attractive mid-grade complete set of "Horrors of War." The 288 cards include the forty-eight rare high-number cards (#241-288). "Horrors of War" is the most famous set of war-related trading cards ever issued, and one of the most popular and sought after of all non-sport cards sets. The set is unequaled in its colorful, detailed artwork and gruesome graphics. The reverse text, though historically factual, is filled with antifascist propaganda of the times. Historically significant and noteworthy, the "Horrors of War" set created an unprecedented stir when issued to children in the late 1930s, which resonates with collectors to this day. Condition composite: The low-number series cards (#1-240) grade as follows: 52% Ex (includes some Ex-Mt), 48% range from Vg to Vg-Ex/Ex (most Vg-Ex). The high-number series cards (#241-288) grade as follows: 66% Ex (with a few slightly better), 34% range in grade from Vg to Vg-Ex/Ex. Keys: #1 "Marco Polo Bridge Is Scene of First Fighting" (Ex), #240 "The Frightful Cost of War" (Ex), #277 "Hitler's Border Tour Raises War Scare" (Gd-Vg), #283 "Hitler Threatens Force to Free Sudetens" (Ex), #286 "Chamberlain Meets Hitler in Peace Effort" (Vg-Ex). "Horrors of War" was originally planned to be 240 cards, and was even sold in a 240-card set form. Later, the additional forty-eight high-number cards (#241-288) were added to the set. The high-number series cards are particularly rare. This is a very attractive medium- to high-grade complete set. The set is accompanied by an extremely crisp, complete original copy of the May 9, 1938 edition of Life magazine. This is an extremely important artifact in the history of trading cards in America, and the Horrors of War set in particular. The set was featured in a two-page spread, with illustrations and reverse text of twelve cards, and with social commentary from Life. The prominence of this article played a significant role in the unprecedented success of the set, and, in turn, in the future of Gum, Inc. Total 288 cards plus Life magazine. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000. SOLD FOR $4,406.25

A 12-year-old boy reported missing late Friday near Hudson has been found.
Jordan Montano was reported missing after his parents discovered he was not home around 5 p.m. Friday, according to a release from the Weld County Sheriff's Office. After the parents could not locate Jordan, they notified sheriff's deputies.
Jordan was later found at a residence in the Lochbuie area and was taken into the care of Weld County authorities, according to a release. Early information indicates he had run away from home after school and was staying with a friend.
According to a Saturday release, Montano was unharmed. Weld County investigators will continue an investigation to ensure his welfare is not endangered.

You want to know Claire Coffee. And yet you almost don't. She was on a few West Wing episodes, and then Aaron Sorkin left and she wasn't anymore. She was on General Hospital, and then James Franco came and she was already gone. She was on that show with Zach Morris that you probably didn't watch, and now she's on NBC's Grimm, which you might not either — unless your kid is really into making you stay home watching fairy tales come true on Friday nights. (Which is just fine.) But she is herself a kind of fairy tale, in that she is smart enough to keep up with Sorkin and Franco, and she watches sports and she hates the Lakers and she is blonde and she is pretty damn funny. "My timing is just shitty," she says. It's about time Claire Coffee stopped being so hard to get to know. So she invited over our photographer friend from Me in My Place, which was a very good idea indeed. —The Editors

Can you define these popular missing words?
A Wall Girl is typically a 13-18 year old girl from Wall, New Jersey. They dress, act, and look like sluts, and are bitches. Characteristics include heavy eye makeup, knock off Victoria's Secret leggings, short tan Uggs, and weirdly straight hair. Since they don't live in a beach town, their moms drop them off in Manasquan, where they get wasted, and then sober up before calling their moms to pick them up. Horny guys worship them, all girls hate them, and the love themselves.

I originally purchased this to hold a few note cards, credit cards and my ID all in one place. It does that and more. It fits any version of the Field Notes, Ink Journal, Moleskine etc smallish notebook I normally carry, a small stack of levenger note cards, a fountain pen (the L-30 *just* fits), my DL, check and credit cards, currency and receipts -- all in a very compact, juicy Bomber package. I previously used the Levenger Deluxe card wallet, but it is smaller and has none of the convenience of this little gem.

Levenger cards did not fit in the writing section . Just too small. Returned at Levenger expense. It was a struggle to find someone who understood their stock was not to spec. Rec'd replacement that was the same. Finally connected with someone who found the problem. Exchange was made. While the one I received was better I still feel it is not just right. I know it can be returned but I like the product and hope it will stretch some with use. Hope stock has been purged and supplier has corrected the problem.

Comments about Levenger Bomber Jacket International Pocket Briefcase:
I love this pocket briefcase. Being from Texas, we aren't afraid of big wallets and that is exactly how I use it. I keep it in my back pants pocket and don't have any issues. I love keeping my "to do" list handy and I keep my Tech 3.0 ballpoint in the wallet as well. It has plenty of card slots for my ID and credit cards with room to spare. I love the soft leather and functionality. This is currently my second bomber jacket purchase (1st was a zip folio junior for my planner) and I look forward to what the line has in store for the future. Thanks Levenger for another great product!

I carry this pocket briefcase in my front pocket when I go out. I use it to make notes, carry receipts, my loyalty cards, and some emergency cash. It's handy, attractive and very functional. I have 4 other note briefcases of differing styles. This is the one that I like the most. Highly recommended.

I purchased this product in the traditional tan leather when it was on sale. I really enjoyed the utility with the 3x5 card placement. I use personalized card for notes when I am on call and it enables me to stay organized and it is a very professional look. The tan leather was plastic appearing and gave a cheap appearance so I ordered the bomber jackets which is a much better leather. I highly recommend this selection.

While this is the first Bomber Jacket version I've purchased there have been many previously purchased International Pocket Briefcases. A few for me and several for friends, family and clients.

Sept. 7, 1989 – July 3, 2013
James A. Schmitt, who was featured in a public service announcement video for the Hunter's Hope Foundation playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on the piano, died Wednesday in Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo. He was 23.
Born in Sisters Hospital, the lifelong Amherst resident was 8 years old when he was diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy, a rare brain disorder that was dramatized in the 1992 film "Lorenzo's Oil."
He could not walk or talk since the age of 9.
"But he had the greatest laugh in the whole world, and he had the best smile," said Sheila Schmitt, his mother.
James attended Maplemere Elementary School , Aspire Center for Learning in Cheektowaga, and the People Inc. Lancaster Dayhab Center in Depew
James began playing the piano when he was 5 years old and his family videotaped his performances. After he was diagnosed with the disease, a video of one of his performances – from when he was 5 years old – was used for the public service announcement in 2008.
Jimmy also made the all-star team for the Mel Ott Little League. According to his family, he loved his pool, watching movies, attending outings with his family and members of his dayhab center. He also watched the Buffalo Bills and became friends with one of his idols, former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly.
For years his parents called his dark, brown eyes "chocolate chips."
His eyes as well as valves from his heart will be donated to others in need of a transplant.
"I'm so proud of him," his mother said. "He accomplished so much."
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his father, Michael; a brother, Steve; maternal grandfather, Edward Moran; and paternal grandmother, Jeannette Schmitt.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Grace Baptist Church, 2525 Eggert Road, Town of Tonawanda.

Registered nurses at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, working without a contract since Feb. 1, overwhelmingly rejected a four-year offer Monday.
The vote was 94 percent negative, and 87 percent of the nurses balloted, according to Erin Bowie, a staff representative from the Communications Workers of America. CWA Local 1133 represents about 270 nurses at the hospital.
Bowie said before the vote that the union bargaining committee did not recommend the contract and that rejection would be considered an authorization to strike. She said, however, that a work stoppage would be "a last resort" and that the union would try to work with the Catholic Health System to come up with a contract nurses would approve.
