Bess and Geoff met while they were working for the State Department at the American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. They both had similar backgrounds and their interests complimented one another. On April 3, 2011 they decided to tie the knot. They were engaged in Bethel Park, PA. When the bride was asked to give her best advice to others planning their wedding she said "make decisions and stick to them." I love her philosophy, not only for wedding planning but life in general! They most enjoyed seeing the happiness of friends and family. Likewise, their families enjoyed seeing their glowing happiness. Bess was radiant in her wedding gown and also wins the MOST ORGANIZED BRIDE of the year award. Her mother Gay and father Vince were such a delight and they arrived a day early to ensure that the grand ballroom was exquisitely decorated . Gay made the most beautiful heirloom centerpieces for the tables and they were adorned with yellow roses. Each was carefully thought out with renditions of the couple's life and mementos from their past. What a special couple! They are honeymooning in the Canadian Rockies, where they will enjoy the cold & wet of the beautiful mountains before the set up their new home in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Few albums in the canon of popular music have had the influence, resonance, and endurance of John Coltrane's 1965 classic A Love Supreme-a record that proved jazz was a fitting medium for spiritual exploration and for the expression of the sublime. Bringing the same fresh and engaging approach that characterized his critically acclaimed Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece, Ashley Kahn tells the story of the genesis, creation, and aftermath of this classic recording. Featuring interviews with more than one hundred musicians, producers, friends, and family members; unpublished interviews with Coltrane and bassist Jimmy Garrison; and scores of never-before-seen photographs, A Love Supreme balances biography, cultural context, and musical analysis in a passionate and revealing portrait.
"The emotions I experienced while reading Ashley Kahn's A Love Supreme gave me a feeling of beauty, elegance, excellence, grace and dignity. I congratulate him for a supreme effort well done." (Carlos Santana)

Cedar Key residents and businesses may soon be charged according to how much garbage they produce. Commissioners voted Tuesday night to proceed with exploration of a unit based pricing scale from current provider WastePro. If approved, the change in service will take effect May 2010. Preliminary quotes from WastePro staff include curbside recycling, garbage carts supplied by the company, residential trash removal once per week, and a bulk collection day once per month.
The Cedar Key Trap-Neuter-Return program has accomplished all that it can, said Doreen Bauer of Faraway Inn. Last week, TNR spayed and neutered 34 cats, bringing the total number to 535 Cedar Key cats in three and half years.
"At this point, there are only about 50 cats left, and those are the smartest, most tricky, and hardest to catch," Doreen said. "The really smart cats are the ones breeding. Over time, those 50 will turn into a lot more. We can't do anymore without the community's help."
A Cedar Key bed and breakfast operator has announced plans to start a private bus company to serve residents in a five-county area.
Bill Phillips, owner of the Cedar Key Bed & Breakfast, said he is looking to privately fund the bus service. He is looking at purchasing coaches that have on board wi-fi service, television, restrooms and galleys to provide drink and food service to commuters and visitors.
The Cedar Key Community Redevelopment Agency, along with the Cedar Water and Sewer District, is performing the final review for the Phase II Streets and Utilities project. Permits have been applied for and final plans will be completed by the end of the month. The CRA will advertise for bids in February, Director Greg Lang said. Phase II Streets and Utilities is the largest construction project in the history of Cedar Key and will take approximately 10-12 months to complete.
Nature Coast Transit wants to help Levy County residents get back to work. And if work is not where you live, even if it is in Gainesville, Trenton, or points in between, NCT can help workers and prospective workers get there with federal help.

More than 75 people turned out to the "Trash to Treasure" art opening Saturday night to see the 47 highly-creative entries, including five from exhibit judge Chick Schwartz. Chick is a sculptor who works in bronze, cement, wood, ceramics and found objects. His work has been featured in more than 25 one person shows in galleries and museums across the U.S. and Canada.
If you missed the Tin Can Tourists visit to Cedar Key last week, you missed your chance to see some of the coolest Vintage RV's in the country. Sunset Isle Campground was the place to be where this eclectic group of nomads were displaying their homes on wheels. If you've never heard of the Tin Can Tourists, I'll try and give a brief history of the legendary group that got started right here in our home state of Florida. Brief History The Tin Can Tourists were first organized at Desoto Park in Tampa in 1919.

Guitar virtuoso Steve Kimock and his widely acclaimed new jam dance band featuring Parliament Funkadelic founder Bernie Worrell will be in Grass Valley Saturday to rock the Center for the Arts. With his unconventional style Kimock joins classically trained keyboardist Worrell, also known for his Talking Heads fame, Wally Ingram on drums (Sheryl Crow, David Lindley) and bassist Andy Hess (Gov't Mule, Black Crowes).
"I like the ensemble chemistry and trust and humor they have. It's really fun and very powerful, a very happy band, a bunch of guys that walk onto the stage laughing and walk off the stage laughing," Kimock said.
The band will play original new songs, cover old favorites and showcase work from Kimcock's extensive 30-year catalog.
A favorite among Lake Tahoe fans, the group's visit to Grass Valley wraps up an extensive tour of the East and West U.S. Coast and Japan.
Grateful Dead guru Jerry Garcia once hailed Steve Kimock as his favorite unknown guitarist. Kimock's connection with the Dead goes back to San Francisco during the 1960s psychedelic era. "It was a very small community, and I played well enough that I got noticed. I guess I was an agreeable enough guy most of the time, so I got asked back," he said.
Kimock grew up in a small steel town in Pennsylvania. He headed out to California after high school, ended up in Marin and soon after met members of the Grateful Dead.
"Phil Lesh picked me up hitchhiking, in the rain.... I said 'Do you have any advice for a guy in a band?' And he said, 'Yes, stick with it. Just keep going,'" Kimock said.
After Garcia's death in 1995, the Dead's surviving members invited Kimock to play in offshoot bands such as: Phil Lesh and Friends, the Rhythm Devils and Bob Weir's RatDog and the Other Ones.
In the mid-1980s, Kimock co-founded the jazz-rock band, Zero, which included former Quicksilver Messenger Service lead guitarist, the late John Cipollina. Kimock has played with everyone from Bruce Hornsby to ex-Zappa sideman Ray White in KVHW, a quartet that evolved into the Steve Kimock Band.
A master of improvisation for nearly four decades, Steve Kimock's is known for his live performances using acoustic, lap and fretless guitars. Through the years, he's explored blues, jazz, funk, folk, psychedelic, boogie, gypsy, traditional American and world fusion.
A recently released live recording by Kimock and his newest band features serious grooves, stirring improvisations, heavy funk and tight-as-a-drum rock and roll. Songs include the classic, "One For Brother Mike," "Thing One," and a new tune, "Hey Man" as well as covers such as a mash-up version of The Beatles' "Come Together" and Worrell singing Funkadelic's "Super Stupid."
Tickets for Saturday's show are $25 for members, $30 for non-members and are available at the Center for the Arts Box Office and BriarPatch Co-op. For more information about Kimock, go to www.kimock.com.

you can spend less but not much less. strc is 100 bucks, ebay has a "fiberglass" style lcg for 70'ish and theres also the new traxxas rally chassis conversion (which shares parts with the new slash) but by the time you do a full conversion youre around 70-80 or more. you would have to be a fool to cheap out for 30-40 bucks...besides my lipo setup and the truck itself, this was the best money ive spent on my truck. it makes me smile everytime i use it or even look at it.
i do like the looks of the trce (all carbon fiber) BUT its also the prime reason i dont want it, the carbon base plate can get scraped up pretty easy...and yes, you can use a chassis protector like i did on my strc, but a bad thing about fiberglass is it can crack/split up internally and you wont know it unless you put a load on it, so it can cause some tuning nightmares after a lot of use. with aluminum, if its flat then youre good.
ssc has a good setup but i think its heavier than the strc, and ive read here someone has managed to bend it up...ive taken some hard, HARD hits at the track with this chassis and its solid. ssc would be my 2nd or third choice because id like to try the traxxas rally conversion.

For a leather bag that is so deliciously supple it is also remarkably sturdy. After being in the market for a bag that I could use as my daily office carrier for a few months, I bought this bag as a gift to myself when it went on sale. Even on sale it was a little rich for me but I justified the purchase with Levenger's one-year warranty. When it arrived, I was pleased to see that the stitching, hardware and zippers were all of superior quality. This bag constantly surprises me with what I can manage to fit in it's sizable interior and exterior pockets. The shoulder strap is minimal but sturdy. This bag will reward you with compliments from your family and friends and you're colleagues will envy it. Six months after purchase, it still looks brand new. For those reasons that I have to give this bag an all-around 5 Star rating. I've found my source for fine leather goods in Levenger and just made my second purchase.

The bummer is I think the bag would be terrific, however, although it says it has room for a 17" laptop, that is not true. mine measures 16 1/4 and would not fit. If you don't want to close up the zipper it might fit. Very disappointed. I don't want to whine and complain, but been a customer for close to 20 years, paid 60 bucks priority shipping so would have in time for an out of town trip and just paid another 25.00 to send it back. customer service not what it used to be. Basically a big hang with em' when I told them it doesn't hold a 17 inch lap top as advertised. Bag is very small. Shop elsewhere. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to save someone the heartache that I had with this purchase. I felt it my moral obligation. Will not shop Levenger again. Normally please, but was not happy with the service and or product.

Great look and Design, but poor quality
By HB
from Atlanta, GA
Comments about Levenger Bomber Jacket® Expandable Brief:
I have owned the messenger bag for 2.5 years. Love the design and look but it is made poorly. Within the first month of owning the bag the front buckles would not latch due to a piece of metal that would easily break off near the buckles. I see that the bag has been redesigned eliminating the buckles and going with an magnetic closure. Contacted Levenger and they immediately replaced with a new bag. Recently the shoulder strap has broken off and I contacted Levenger and have had no response. Called and they said they would get back to me with a response but a few months have gone bye and haven't heard anything. Buyer beware as the metal parts they use easily break.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a great brief bag.
By Courthouse lawyer
from Jackson, Michigan
I'm a lawyer that goes to court every day, twice a day, with anywhere from 2 to 20 files at a time. Love that this brief bag is expandable, smaller for fewer files, expandable for more files or for a trial file. Designed perfectly for what I do, enough pockets and dividers but not too many. This is my second one, the first one I got about 5 years out of it until the zippers gave out from constant daily use, not a criticism of the product, I didn't expect it to last forever. Two upgrades with the newer model, leather under the should strap instead of cloth, and one side pocket now with magnetic closure instead of former model that had belts/buckles that were too much trouble to ever use. Highly recommend.
Best Gift Ever
By LeSoldatDC
from Crofton, MD
The Bomber Jacket product is a real "bomb"! My wife and I gave it as a special gift to one of our sons-in-law, who recently completed a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering. His extraordinary comment to us was, "I have never received such a marvelous gift as this one, and I am so blessed by you all. This is the best gift I have ever gotten! " We were thrilled because he was so overjoyed with receiving such a quality, features, and usefulness of this gift as he started his new career in civil engineering.

Got this bag for fathers day and love it. It's big enough for my computer and projector, all of the cables and handouts.The only problem was that the shoulder strap rivet broke.Levenger replaced the bag and I'm back on the road.Great customer service.
Great bag with issue that's been fixed
By Craftsmanship
from Doylestown, PA
I love this bag. Very stylish and should last the rest of my career. The bag has great functionality and comfortably fits when walking any distance. It fits everything for work and I use it for personal trips given it's expandable size. The only reason I gave it a 4-star rating on quality was because I had to return twice over a 2 year period. Once a buckle stopped working, then a clasp broke. I just called about the broken clasp and was told they've replaced the buckles with magnetic connectors that you won't see on the outside. The rest of the bag is identical, outside stitching and all. I'm getting a brand new replacement bag so should be no more quality issues. Definitely recommend the newly designed bag.
B J expandable is great

I use this for vacation travel. I can fit all my tech gadgets, cameras & lenses, & since I'm old, my pill trays to carry on. I usually fly Southwest nonstop, so I just check my suitcase of clothes & toiletries, & have all my gadgets & books with me in a comfortable. I've been a customer since forever & have been very satisfied. I have a bunch of treasured items they no longer carry. Highly recommend Levenger.
2nd defective bag in less than a month
By Sbrody116
from San Diego CA
When I first saw this bag I loved it. I wanted a dark leather look that could carry all my cpa exam study materials and my other work stuff.Never had a nice leather bag and was very excited to get this. However the construction of the bag is clearly not top notch because my second bag just broke.The first bag I had for only two days and as I picked up the bag the strap broke off. Levenger couldn't have had been more helpful and sent me a new one.The second one I've had for about a week or so and I've been extremely cautious about it. The tubing was not straight and I was concerned about and I even asked levenger about it and I was just told that their warranty was five years.An hour ago, I was packing up from work and I couldn't get the zipper around the top. I thought it was normal as these zippers are not very smooth, just accepted that as part of the bag. But the zipper wouldn't go over at all. I looked at the stitching and realized a part of the zipper was not attached any more and it flicked off. I'm very frustrated with this whole ordeal and I don't think I can handle getting a third one to try out.The worst part is that this is the type and look of a bag I want. The other thing to note is that the bag bends more than I had thought. I assumed it was stiff and wouldn't curve around my body. Oh well, will try something else.

Closing Minutes Decisive in Mens Hoops Loss at SIU
CARBONDALE, Ill. -- The Ball State men's basketball team lost 66-58 Saturday afternoon at Southern Illinois in its final game before a nine-day holiday break.
Freshman point guard Zavier Turner led the Cardinals (2-7) with 15 points, while Chris Bond and Mark Alstork added 10 each. Jalen Pendleton led all scorers with 21 points for the Salukis (3-8), and Desmar Jackson scored 19.
The game was tied 55-55 with five minutes to play, but Southern Illinois held Ball State without a field goal the rest of the way and ended the game on an 11-3 run.
"They really started to extend their zone (at the end), and that was a tough stretch for us," Ball State head coach James Whitford said. "It was hard for Zavier to get the ball over their length and move the ball from side to side. We settled for too many 3's and obviously they didn't go in. You make one or two of those and they probably come out of the zone."
Ball State missed seven 3-pointers in the decisive moments over the final five minutes and finished the second half 1 for 14 from beyond the arc. That came on the heels of a first half that featured the Cardinals' best shooting of the season against both man and zone defense.
The Cardinals connected on 10 of their first 11 attempts from the floor and went on to shoot better than 68 percent for the first half, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range. Still, they trailed 38-37 at the break, in large part because of 12 turnovers. They finished with 21 turnovers for the game.
"The two things that really hurt us were the turnovers and our lack of execution against the zone down the stretch," Whitford said.
Southern Illinois was able to slice into the lane in the first half for 28 paint points, but Ball State adjusted in the second half to stay in the game despite losing its shooting touch. Down the stretch, though, Pendleton was able to take the game over offensively for Southern Illinois. He scored 15 of his team's final 20 points, including 12 straight at one point.
Ball State freshmen again combined for more than half of Ball State's points (31 of 58). In addition to Turner's 15 and Alstork's 10, Franko House added six points to go along with seven rebounds. Senior center Majok Majok finished with eight points and a game-high eight boards.
Ball State is now off until Dec. 30 when the Cardinals will complete their three-game road stretch at James Madison. They will then return home for the first time in a month Jan. 3 against Oakland City before Mid-American Conference play begins.
"It's hard to recognize this in a loss, but I liked our effort," Whitford said." We're learning to play harder. We're learning to practice better. In my opinion, from Sept. 29 to Dec. 21 we've actually come a long way. The quest for our team now is to get our minds fresh and come back as the hungriest team in the world, consumed by progress and consumed by getting better."

The $100 million medical office building proposed for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is getting its tax breaks after all.
The Erie County Industrial Development Agency on Monday approved $4.2 million in tax breaks for the project, a month after the agency's board delayed a vote to provide incentives for what critics called a "glorified medical office" that didn't require taxpayer help.
The ECIDA approved the incentives Monday by a 13-1 vote after the project's developer, Ciminelli Real Estate Corp., made a case that the building would be much more than medical offices.
They described the building as a medical health center that would become a vital link between the new pediatric hospital planned for the Medical Campus and ancillary services that would be located in the new building, along with the relocated University at Buffalo medical school and the physicians who are part of the UBMD practice.
"This is not simply a medical office building," said Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown. "It is a medical center that is a critical component in the siting of the new Women's and Children's Hospital."
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, who joined three other board members in challenging the tax breaks last month because he believed the development and growth of the Medical Campus should serve as enough of a draw and an incentive to ensure that the project happens, cast the lone vote against the tax breaks.
"This is an excellent project," he said. "While they did provide us with additional information, they did not provide information that indicated they would not go forward with the project without tax breaks."
"They're going to make a lot of money on this project in year one," he said, noting the handful of major developments now under way on the Medical Campus and along the waterfront. "When do we stop giving tax breaks? Or do we give them to everyone? We're not so desperate for projects as a community anymore."
But Ciminelli executives said the tax breaks were essential for a building that they said would earn a below-average return of about 9 percent, even if it is almost fully occupied, because of costs that are about one-third higher than for a comparable building in the suburbs. Even with the incentives. Ciminelli said the Medical Campus costs are higher because suburban development could have surface parking and could use lower-paid construction workers. Using nonunion firms in the city frequently draws protests.
To help gain ECIDA approval, Ciminelli reached an agreement in principle with the Buffalo Building and Construction Trades Council to hire 90 percent of the project's construction workforce locally, with a goal of at least 20 percent being women and minorities. Ciminelli agreed to focus its hiring first on workers from Erie County and then from the seven other counties in Western New York in filling the construction jobs.
"This is the first significant piece of a game-changing development," said Michael Hoffert, an ECIDA board member who also is president of the Buffalo AFL-CIO Council. "This agreement will certainly promote the growth of the Western New York building and construction trades."
UBMD executives, answering critics who questioned the project's benefits to the nearby community, told the board that it provided more than $5 million in unpaid health care to the community last year and that it believes the project will provide Medicaid recipients and other low-income patients with greater access to its services.
"We're pleased they took a thoughtful approach and approved the project," said Dennis M. Penman, Ciminelli's executive vice president and a former ECIDA chairman. "I understand the nature of a retail medical office project. You have to drill down and see what the community benefit of this project is."
The project involves the construction of a six-story building with 287,000 square feet of space and two levels of underground parking, Kaleida Health has tentatively agreed to lease 30 percent of the space and would locate ancillary services there, including rehabilitation and ambulatory surgery facilities.
UBMD, which has tentatively agreed to lease slightly more than 20 percent of the space, said its location next to the planned John R. Oishei Children's Hospital would enhance its ties to the UB medical school, which also is set to relocate to the Medical Campus, and would enhance the training and educational opportunities available to the medical students who work with its physicians.
"We're sort of moving toward the medical university center concept. It's a medical center. It's collaborative between the hospital and the university. It has a research component to it," through a potential medical device research center being discussed with Moog Inc., Penman said. "The project will help realize the potential we've all been hoping for with the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus."
The tax breaks include $3.5 million in sales tax savings and a $740,000 reduction in mortgage taxes. The project, which would not receive property tax breaks through the ECIDA, would generate $1 million a year in new city property tax revenues and an additional $191,000 annually in county property taxes.
While the eligibility guidelines followed by all of Erie County's IDAs generally prohibit tax breaks for medical office buildings, the policy does allow incentives for facilities that go beyond simple office space. "Without the sexy components to the project, it would not be eligible," said Andrew J. Rudnick, an IDA board member and president of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership.
Developer Paul Ciminelli, who was angry after last month's vote was delayed because the board was one vote short of the support needed to approve the incentives, took a more understanding view Monday. "It's a big project and it's a bit complicated. It's also unique in the implications with medical office policy," he said.

BioShock 2 Review
In many ways BioShock 2 is a game about refinements, rather than wholesale changes. Combat is better, but the game's story doesn't match that found in the original.
There's no doubt that revisiting Rapture isn't quite as special as seeing the dilapidated underwater city for the first time. While BioShock 2 doesn't make you trawl through the same locations, there's a familiarity here, but with 10 years having passed since the end of the original game, new enemies are on the prowl, there's a new dictator in town and the big daddies are no longer alone as the top dogs. A new threat, in the shape of big sisters - agile, plasmid wielding, screaming death merchants - will have you on your toes, fearing for your life every time you hear one of their terrifying, wall-shaking shrieks. Thankfully, when it comes to holding your own in a fight, you're no slouch either. This time, you are a big daddy.
"But I've already played as a Big Daddy," you cry. Yes, while the end of the 2007 game let you put on a big daddy suit, it didn't make you feel like one of Rapture's little sister protectors. This time you awake as the very first, the prototype big daddy, and you're far more agile than you'd imagine. Not wanting to spoil the plot, you're without your little sister and you'll do anything to get her back. With a cast of characters, including new ruler of Rapture Sophia Lamb, all trying to stop you, the fight through the run-down corridors deep under the sea won't be easy.
Straight away you'll notice an important change over the original. Instead of having to swap between a weapon and a plasmid attack (the game's genetic enhancing super powers), you can dual wield. Your daddy's left hand can shoot out electric, fire, ice, and more mutant-like attacks, with one corresponding shoulder button used to cycle through those in your inventory (hold down to bring up a radial menu) and the other to fire. Your right hand holds a weapon, which defaults to a devastating drill. Providing you're carrying some fuel, this drill can be spun and used to rip apart roaming splicers - Rapture's Adam-addicted crazies.
Use of plasmid powers is very similar to how it was in the original game. Obtaining new plasmids requires Adam, a substance found in sea slugs, and grown inside the stomachs of young girls. Throughout BioShock 2 you'll be able to exchange Adam for new plasmids, but to use them you'll have to be stocked up with Eve, found in needles scattered around the city. Adam can also be used to upgrade your plasmids, giving them extra abilities (such as chain attacking enemies and shooting out icicles), while gene tonics grant you bonuses like increased speed and an electrical discharge when attacked.
Your drill isn't the only weapon available to you, with shotguns, machine guns, rivet guns, rocket launchers, dart guns and more all options once you find them. As with plasmids, all of these are upgradeable, not through a currency, but at upgrade stations located at special locations in the city. Each station can only be used once, and with each weapon having three upgrades, what you choose will shape how you tackle combat in the game. For example, your shotgun will gain the ability to shock enemies once fully upgraded, but you might prefer to use a station to improve the power of one of your other weapons. BioShock 2, far more than its predecessor, encourages you to use all your available tools.
Key to how 2K has managed to do this is the way in which enemy encounters occur. While moving about you'll run into splicers, including some new types such as the tank-like Brute splicer, and have to contend with security cameras and turrets, but at certain points you'll set up siege-like scenarios. When you come across little sisters you're able to harvest them or adopt them. Harvesting will instantly give you some Adam, but adopt and they can be used to get you a lot more - and more Adam means better plasmid abilities. Certain splicers can be drained by the little girls, but doing so will draw all splicers to that location, forcing you to defend her while she works away with her needle.

The act of making out in a relatively public place, where there stands a chance that people will see you. No real attempt to hide is made, but it may take place in a car or perhaps on a secluded bench.

a technique for ending an arguement about numbers. Obviously the scoreboard will truly reflect who is winning, regardless of what the other party is saying. Scoreboard suggests that all that is really relevant are the cold hard numbers. If you have scoreboard then the facts/numbers are on your side and you can end the arguement by just pointing out to the other person to look at the scoreboard.

It is used in conversation when you believe (either truthfully or in your head) that you have won the argument or effectively made your point as a statement of completion and exuberence. Often spoken in a soft, high pitch tone to better commemorate its original usage in the Geico commercial with Billy King and the Caveman playing tennis.

Ladies and Gentlemen, grab your air guitars and head on over to our beautiful Chrysler Hall on January 25th to see the hard-rockin' Green Day musical "American Idiot". The show will perform a 2-night stand ( 3 performances) in Norfolk and is sure to bring the house down. Who would've thought that the three dudes from the band "Green Day" would actually write a Broadway musical? I certainly didn't. I mean, after all, they did title one of their best albums, "Dookie" (whatever THAT means). The guys managed to change the lyrical direction of their tunes onto a more mature, poilitical avenue with the release of their award-winning album, "American Idiot" from which this musical is based. I am extremely curious to see the end result because I have a feeling that it's gonna be the best thing that's hit this town since...Mary Poppins! ~Purchase tickets here.

Will Neil Patrick Harris soon be scheming his way to a Survivor victory?
It could happen. Host Jeff Probst has spoken to the How I Met Your Mother star about playing the game – and is currently looking for other celebrities who want to outwit, outplay and outlast the competition in hopes of being Sole Survivor on the long-running CBS reality show.
A celebrity season actually isn't that far fetched. Last season, The Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel made the final three. And, in 2001, Kate Hudson and then–husband Chris Robinson showed up for an open audition for Survivor: Australia, before being turned away by producers. (How awesome would that have been?)
But for now, there's Survivor: Caramoan, the show's 26th season, premiering Wednesday night (8 p.m. ET). Ten new players will compete against ten returning players – with early favorites that include Dawn Meehan, a surprisingly tough 42-year-old mother of six from Utah, and Andrea Boehlke, a pretty blonde schemer from Wisconsin.
Catching up with PEOPLE, Jeff Probst reveals what to expect this season – and how a celebrity version would work:
Lisa Whelchel got a lot of buzz last season. Are there any other celebrities you'd like to see play the game?
Mark Burnett and I really want to do a celebrity version. We were just talking about this at a Grammy party last week. Neil Patrick Harris was there, and he told me flat out he wants to play. I challenged him and said "Do you really want to do it, or is this just a fun fantasy that will never happen?" He said, "I want to do it."
So, on the heels of NPH having the guts to say, "I'm in" – I'm putting out the challenge! If you are a celebrity and truly believe you could hack it, it's time to put up. It would be a shortened shoot – maybe 10 days or so – so you can still get back to do your movies and TV shows, and you won't lose so much weight that your agents will panic. But rest assured it will still kick your ass. If we can get a truly great cast together I think CBS would go for it.
Sounds fantastic. But until that happens, there's Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites. What can we expect?
Even for Survivor, this is quite an unpredictable season. Evacuations, an impromptu tribal council, emotional breakdowns and a great finish. Of the 26 seasons we've done, I believe this will rank among the most memorable. I also think a couple of new favorites may be born this season.
You've chosen 10 returning contestants to play again – including some surprising choices. Why them?
When deciding on returning players we first look at their popularity. It doesn't mean they have to be well liked, but they must be memorable for something. Then we look at their "story." Is there an expectation surrounding their return – i.e., did Phillip learn anything from playing with Boston Rob? Will Cochran finally stand up and be heard? Will Brandon be able to control his emotions? Can Malcolm finish what he started? With this group we felt each has a story worth telling.
The fans seem awfully young. (Four of the five female fans are under 25.) Do they even stand a chance?
We have a fairly young group of fans, but they know the game well and many have been itching to play for a long time. The question is, will their adoration of the favorites make them vulnerable to a blindside? Or will their enthusiasm be the energy they need to keep up? Favorites have a major advantage going into day one.
Last season, contestant Sarah Dawson caught you by surprise when she kissed you – twice! Have you hired bodyguards to guard your personal space?
It's funny how many people have asked me if I was offended by the kisses. I wasn't at all. The kiss that happened at tribal council was probably due to the delirium brought on by not eating for so long. The kiss at the live reunion show was a funny button at the end of a great season of Survivor. The best part was looking out in the audience to see my wife Lisa laughing hysterically.

All of the roads in Gadsden County now have names, but more than 1,000 people have not placed numbers at the entrances to their properties.
Last week, Sheriff Morris Young responded to a call but was unable to find the house. The residence was in a rural setting located off a main road but because numbers were not erected, he never made contact with the citizen.
In an effort to save $9,000, Quincy city officials decided to use utility department employees to trim the holly trees on the Courthouse Square this year.
"I got several calls and people were upset. The Community Redevelopment Agency was trying to save money by going in-house. It's clear we will have to go outside the next time. This is one we learned from this mistake," said Jack McLean, city manager.
Gov. Charlie Crist reconfirmed his appointment of Quincy native Kathy Garner as Gadsden county judge Nov. 10.
Crist appointed Garner to fill the seat vacated by county judge Stewart Parsons on Oct. 27. Parsons, who turns 70 this month, is required by law to step down because of age limits. Less than 24 hours after the appointment was announced, Crist put the appointment on hold.

County attorney Deborah Minnis told members of the Gadsden County Tourist Development Council during their regular meeting Monday afternoon that announcing a meeting will be continued does not constitute proper public notice.
Meetings such as the ones conducted by the TDC operate as an arm of the Gadsden County Board of Commissioners and, as such, are bound by the rules and regulations as those that govern all meetings under the state's Sunshine Law, she said.
Investigators later found a handgun and marijuana on the roof of one of the apartment buildings, which they believe was done in an attempt to hide them. It was also reported Dixon's wound was to his leg, and the other victim was wounded in his calf.
Curtis Dixon Jr. 22, of Quincy, died Nov. 17 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital following a shooting that same day at 2425 Mission Road in Tallahassee.
Gadsden County Emergency Medical Services Director Brian Beasley has resigned his position, effective Nov. 13. Capt. Larry Crum, shift commander with EMS, has been named interim director until a permanent replacement is hired.
Johnny Williams, county administrator, would not discuss Beasley's resignation, calling it a personnel matter.
"This is considered a personnel matter and it is our policy not to discuss personnel matters. This is for the protection of the employee and of the county," Williams said.
Gadsden County's ambulances were busier than usual Nov. 17. Between trips to Tallahassee and one out of operations because of a flat tire, the four remaining vehicles were stretched to the limit.
Lois Taylor, 63, suffered a severe asthma attack, according to her son Thomas, at approximately 3:40 p.m., and his sister dialed 911. He said that shortly after he arrived at his mother's home at 802 West Jefferson Street, she was in distress and having difficulty breathing.
The Gadsden County Tourist Council's vote to advertise its meetings only in a Chattahoochee newspaper won't fly – according to County Administrator Johnny Williams.
TDC members voted unanimously Nov. 16 to advertise their meetings in the Twin City News, a publication which serves Chattahoochee and Sneads and has a circulation of about 2,200. The move was made, TDC member Jim Kellum said, based on a lower cost of advertising with that publication.
The ribbon has been cut and the doors are open at the new Chattahoochee Dental Clinic, part of the Gadsden County Health Department's efforts to bring dental care to residents in western Gadsden County.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Nov. 4 at the new location, 680 Maple St. The facility will also be used by senior citizens in Chattahoochee.

From Redmond to Sisters to Bend -- and a special star turn from Hollywood -- all of Central Oregon is rallying behind a little Redmond girl who is facing a tough fight.
Avrey Jane Walker is just 7, but she's battling leukemia for the second time in her life.
First diagnosed at age 4, Avery already has beaten leukemia once.
"She's a child who means a lot to a lot of us here," said Lexie Marks, her teacher at Redmond's John Tuck Elementary.
After undergoing a blood transfusion, a bone marrow biopsy and intense chemotherapy, the youngster finished treatment last February.
The little girl enjoyed a healthy summer, and began second grade last fall. But just before Christmas, symptoms returned, and her parents' worst nightmare came true: the leukemia had returned -- aggressively.
"It's been a very hard journey for the Walker family, because they thought they'd overcome that part of their life," Marks said Friday. "So it's facing a lot of fears and anxieties that they've had to face in the past."
While Avery is getting weekly treatments at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, her school back home is fighting the disease along with her.
Every Friday this month, students give spare change to "Avrey's Well Wishes" collecting spot -- a wishing well.
And already, more than $800 have been raised, with almost every student coming through the doors giving something.
"The kids have been amazing," said Alishia Anderson, reading specialist at John Tuck,
"They've written beautiful notes, even coming up and saying, 'I just have one penny, Mrs. Anderson, is that enough?' It's like, every penny counts. it kind of gets me choked up, even now."
"It's a very difficult concept for (the fellow students) to understand," Marks said. "And explaining it isn't something I feel they need to understand, except that leukemia makes her sick, and we're working to make her feel better."
The school is also selling "Avrey's Angels"' T- shirts, both for kids and adults.
Miles away, Sisters High School has adopted her as their Sparrow Club "sparrow,'' and the Bend Fire Department is using her as inspiration to raise money for a cure in their annual stair climb.
And one of Avery's biggest idols -- singing sensation Justin Bieber -- even made a special video, just for her.
"Hey Avery, It's Justin here," Bieber said. "I just want to say, I hope you have a very merry Christmas, happy holidays. Be blessed, and I'm sending you all my love."
It's love that's piling up, one penny at a time.
Avrey's family has a Caring Bridge Website where they post updates, and you can sign the guest book.
You can learn more about the Avrey's Angels T-shirts from Lexie Marks at John Tuck Elementary, (541) 923-4884.
If you want to make a direct donation to the Walker Family, you can make a deposit in Avrey Walker's account at any branch of Wells Fargo Bank, or visit the school at 209 NW 10th St. in Redmond.

Voluntary Emergency Responders Challenge Forced Unionism Scheme
Union bosses demand firefighters join union or be fired
Harford, MD (May 22, 2013) – Three Harford County emergency responders have filed charges against a local union for violating their rights and illegally demanding that they join the union.
With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, the first responders filed the unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Beginning in November 2012, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 4847 union became the exclusive bargaining representative of the emergency responders at Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Foundation. Between November and April, the union hierarchy never informed the workers of any financial obligations they would have to meet to keep working for the County Foundation.
Then, on April 1, 2013, IAFF Local 4847 union officials demanded the workers join the union and pay full union dues. Under federal law, no worker can be forced to formally join a union. However, because Maryland is not a Right to Work state, workers can be forced to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment.
