Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Tasting Notes
Anisette is a clear, licorice flavored liqueur with a rich, warming taste.
Technical Notes
The very special flavor of Meletti Anisette is a result of slow evaporative distillation and the quality of the anise (Pimpinella Anisum) that is grown in the clay soil near Ascoli Piceno. During distillation Meletti discards the first and last portions of the distillate because they contain elements of bitterness. They keep only the "heart", or middle portion, to ensure that the flavors are concentrated and consistent. Once distilled at high alcoholic strength, a second distillation of other spices is added. The liqueur is then transferred to 10,000 liter tanks for four months of aging, adjusted for proof, and bottled. The resulting anisette is rich, smooth, and exceptionally flavorful.
Food Pairing
This wine is a delightful enhancement to espresso or by itself as an after dinner drink. You may enjoy it straight up or on the rocks.

If you are what you eat (nutrition), what you read (literature) and the company you keep (society), where do you stand right now? In a few weeks everyone will be talking about New Year's resolutions. Let's toss around a few ideas.
How does nutrition affect the brain? Certain foods fuel the brain so it can function efficiently, like a well-cared for machine. You may have made a lifestyle change to lose weight and keep it off, but you need to bear a few things in mind. Your brain needs glucose (sugar) which is found in carbohydrates and foods that will convert to glucose, like vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes. The liver needs starches to make the glucose.
The right proteins and fats are needed to make new brain proteins and fats. Too much or too little affects the way your brain works. (For more about nutrition and the effects on the nervous system, visit faculty.washington.edu/chudler/nutr2.html.) Some of your health issues may be related to a vitamin deficiency of which you are not aware. Explore this suggestion with your primary health care provider. If you don't eat right, your brain will be affected. It won't work properly.
While good nutrition is expensive, what is your good health and well being worth to you? The brain is important to your well being. It regulates body temperature, blood pressure, breathing and heart rate. Through your senses (sight, sound, touch, taste and smell) your brain interprets your world. Without your brain, physical mobility is impaired (sitting, standing, talking, walking). You brain enables you to think, dream, experience emotions, and reason. It is part of your central nervous system. (science.howstuffworks.com)
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) provides information about the science of addiction, explaining how the three-pound human brain is the most complex organ in your body.
"Drugs can alter important brain areas that are necessary for life-sustaining functions and can drive the compulsive drug abuse that marks addiction," NIDA advises. "Drugs [tap into] the brain's communication system and [interfere] with the way nerve cells normally send, receive and process information. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter. This similarity in structure 'fools' receptors and allows the drugs to lock onto and activate the nerve cells. Although these drugs mimic brain chemicals, they don't activate nerve cells in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lad to abnormal messages being transmitted through the network."
Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, NIDA says, can cause the nerve cells to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals, disrupting the brain's communication to the rest of your body.
What is a neurotransmitter? It is a chemical substance that is released at the end of nerve fiber when a nerve impulse occurs. Basically, it's the way that messages from the brain tell your hand to pick up a pencil, your feet to take steps, your lungs to breathe.
It is reported that recovering addicts can't socialize with other addicts. So, your companions can have a great influence over your well being, explaining that old adage about the company you keep.
Be conscious of the importance of your own well being. If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of the people and responsibilities for which you are obligated.

As consumers and businesses remain reluctant to spend, cash has been flowing into the banks in the form of deposits. Given the lack of demand for loans, banks like Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) are not deploying much of these funds in the form of loans. However, given the low interest rates on loans, is it necessarily a bad thing that banks aren't extending gobs of credit right now?
In this video, Motley Fool banking analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss the merits of being conservative during a time of record low interest rates.
Bank of America's stock doubled in 2012. Is there more yet to come? With significant challenges still ahead, it's critical to have a solid understanding of this megabank before adding it to your portfolio.

Getting fit can be tough enough, but doing it alone can be even worse. There's good news for all Americans who need a little help, and maybe even a little incentive, to get moving.
Competitor Group, Inc., the parent company of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, has recently joined forces with the President's Challenge. Together the two groups have created an incentive program to help Americans receive the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA). The program is called "Commit to Fit" and participants in will be pledging to earn their PALA by being active for 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week for 6 out of 8 weeks. Youth, aged 6-17, are encouraged to participate too. They are challenged to tally up 60 minutes of activity a day.

With just ten days left until Father Christmas wishes he had eaten less carbs so he could fit down the chimney, these days and hours have been filled with merry chaos trying the decorate, shop, and get things in order for the Holiday. No doubt Kate is doing the same- however being a Royal, she had some important engagements to attend first!
This Week:
- December 11- Back to business! On Wednesday, it was reported that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a board meeting in London on Tuesday for their Royal Foundation. The Foundation was formed by Prince Harry and Prince William in 2009, and in 2011 upon the marriage of William and Catherine, Kate become an official patron as well. Prince Harry was unable to attend as he was trekking to the South Pole this week but I am sure The Duke and Duchess will fill him in as he thaws out by the fire upon his return!
- December 11- Digging Downton! There had been reports last year that William and Kate enjoyed quiet nights in with some Downton Abbey episodes on the telly, but now it has been confirmed! On Wednesday, it was revealed by Allen Leech (the hot Irish Rebel Tom Branson) that he had met The Duke of Cambridge at an event, and Wills divulged that he's an avid watcher saying "I'm a huge fan of the show-only now that my wife's had a baby". Come on William, don't pretend that you haven't been a fan since The Dowager Countess delivered her first zinger some three years ago!
- December 11- Respectful duty calls! On Wednesday, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to South Africa House in London to sign the book of condolences in honor of Nelson Mandela's passing. This visit was not announced publicly, but photographers who happened to be there captured William and Catherine entering the building. Kate recycled a black skirt-suit with tiny white polka dots that she had worn previously in 2007 and 2008. The outfit was perfect for the somber occasion, and she accessorized with her new diamond pendant from Mappin and Webb, Annoushka pearl earrings, and black suede pumps. However small the act may be, the couple wanted to pay their respects to a man they deeply admired.
- December 11- Temperley times three! The Duchess of Cambridge wore her Temperley 'Amoret' black lace gown for the third time on Wednesday evening when she and husband William attended the premiere of Sir David Attenborough's "Alive" in 3D at the Natural History Museum. Kate, who became patron of the museum last year was there to witness the film being shown for the first time which depicts extinct animals come to life through 3D technology. In addition to her 3D glasses, Kate bedazzled herself with her new favorite diamond necklace by Mappin & Webb, and her much adored diamond earring and bracelet set. The couple shared some good laughs, and if anyone can make those nerdy glasses look good, it's Will and Kate!
- December 14- Jump for George! On Saturday, it was reported that Kate had been doing some Christmas shopping for her little Prince. Her Royal Highness was spotted at the children's clothing store Trotters picking up the aptly named 'George' navy wool jumper with a Union Jack flag on it, and a gray long sleeved t-shirt with an image of the Royal Guardsmen. Trotters recommends wearing the jumper "…for afternoon tea with the Queen"…that's Great-Granny to you George!
Next Week:
- No official engagements have been announced for next week, stay tuned!
Have you sent your Christmas card to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge yet? It's not too late! Find out where to send your card and the proper etiquette to follow HERE. Will, Kate, and George will love it!

Henry Gomez had an important job to do Tuesday. He manned the polls at Skyblue Mesa Elementary School in Canyon Country.
The 17-year-old Canyon High School senior took the day off from school to earn extra credit in his history class, plus he just thought it would be fun. It turns out it was a good thing Gomez showed up at 6 a.m. on election day, since the regular precinct workers were having a little trouble putting the ballot machine together.
"Henry came in and we were trying to put the machine together - we seasoned ladies - and Henry says, um, these arrows are supposed to match up," said Esther Rodriguez, 70, a 20-year veteran of the Skyblue Mesa precinct. "We felt really dumb. He knew what to do because he went to the class and he actually paid attention."
Henry attended a class for election workers held the week before the election, even though the class was optional.
"I didn't want to be confused about what I was doing," he said.
Henry and two other Canyon High seniors, Nathan Cleveland and Cynthia Sosa, worked the two precincts sharing the Skyblue Mesa polling site Tuesday. About 30 Canyon students worked at polling places across the valley.
"The students have been great," Rodriguez said. "We haven't had to tell them what to do, because they already know."
Sosa, 16, brought the third book in the Twilight vampire series by Stephenie Meyers to read during her down times, but hadn't spent much time reading Tuesday.
"When we first opened up it was so busy I couldn't even get out of my chair, but it has died down a little bit so I might get to do some reading," she said.
Sosa, a ballot clerk who handed people their ballots and gave instructions, said she wanted to work Tuesday to be a part of what she feels will be an historic election.
"This election is probably going to be the election of the century, because we have the first black candidate running and that's just amazing," Cynthia said.
While the poll workers do get paid for their services, Nathan said he wasn't doing it for the money. "We get around $125 for about 14 hours of work, so it's kind of below minimum wage," Nathan said.
Cleveland, 18, spent Tuesday morning waiting for a free moment so that he could vote for the first time himself.
"I've been waiting for a quiet time between working," he said. "There hasn't been much of a dead time yet, so I'm still waiting."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Are you ready to trade out your winter boots for some summer-lovin' sandals?
Michigan-based Bandals Footwear will be giving away 200 pairs of its interchangeable comfort sandals at the West Michigan Women's Expo, March 8-10.
Women in the greater Grand Rapids area can register online with Bandals Comfort Tour to win a free pair of the company's Beach sandals through March 7. Winners will be notified by email and will be available for pickup at the Bandals' booth at the expo.
The Beach sandal is one of seven Bandals styles lets you design your own shoe by taking out the upper portion and swapping it with another one.
The Beach style that is part of the free giveaway retails for about $38. Other Bandals retail for up to $60.
All shoes are available in sizes 5-11 and come with a standard set of interchangeable bands. Additional bands range between $13 and $25, depending on the style and material.
"We find that people love the comfort," President Tom Sesti said of the shoe's growing popularity.
According to the company's website, Bandals are designed with a fully-shaped comfort arch and have dozens of interchangeable slide bands.
The Rochester Hills company has sold more than 150,000 sandals since its inception in 2009, and sells an average of about 35,000 a year, according to Sesti. The sandals are primarily sold through home parties or online.
In addition to the shoe giveaway, Bandals is partnering with Nashville-based shoe charity, Soles4Souls.
West Michigan residents who attend the Women's Expo may bring in their gently worn shoes, which will be distributed to people in need. Each person making a donation will receive 10 percent off their Bandals purchase at the expo.
"The Bandals Comfort Tour is an opportunity for us to bring interchangeable comfort and style directly to women in the greater Grand Rapids area. What better way to help Grand Rapids get to know more about Bandals than by giving women a chance to try them for free?" Sesti said. "It is even more exciting to combine that with providing them a reward for cleaning out their closets by offering a discount when they make a donation to Sole4Soles."

It's back to school 2012 for the Dallas area and the DMN is there
Back-to-school is an odd annual event. On the one hand, most everything is the same. The rituals of students and teachers doing the first-day awkward do-si-do hasn't changed much in generations. On the other hand, everything is brand new. Students in all new classes. Teachers with all new students.
And this year, as with every year. some things are even newer than the regular new. Dallas and Fort Worth ISDs are among several hereabouts with superintendents opening their first full year in those jobs. Kids attending DISD's Truett Elementary will be stunned to discover the formerly disgusting hulk of a building has been given the upgrades needed to allow for an educational environment. Seven brand new DISD schools open for business. A bunch more new buildings toss open their doors in Frisco, Lewisville, Plano, Irving and Sunnyvale. Former Cowboy Deion Sanders starts to show if his Prime Time charter schools can deliver on high-flying promises. Kids in Allen know that they'll be hearing all about that new $60 million stadium.
This year, for a change, there's not much worry about deadly heat threatening football or band practice. Instead, there's concern about West Nile virus. (Use that DEET!)
Districts will continue working together on lawsuits to change the state school funding formula. At the same time, this is another year under tighter budgets. Will your children have more classmates? Or discover familiar programs missing?
We have staff fanned out across the region to watch this year's academic overture. And we'll be posting the highlights on this blog through the day. But we can't be everywhere. Is there something unexpectedly good happening at your school today? Are there unforeseen traffic snafus or other problems? Got a unique photo to share? Let us know. The comments are on. Or you can send me an email at email@example.com.

Two years after President Obama vowed to eliminate the danger of financial institutions becoming "too big to fail," the nation's largest banks are bigger than they were before the nation's credit markets seized up and required unprecedented bailouts by the government.
Five banks — JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. — held $8.5 trillion in assets at the end of 2011, equal to 56 percent of the U.S. economy, according to central bankers at the Federal Reserve.
Five years earlier, before the financial crisis, the largest banks' assets amounted to 43 percent of U.S. output. The Big Five today are about twice as large as they were a decade ago relative to the economy, sparking concern that trouble at a major bank would rock the financial system and force the government to step in as it did in 2008 with the Fed-assisted rescue of Bear Stearns Cos. by JPMorgan and with Citigroup and Bank of America after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, the largest in U.S. history.

%>LAB TECHNIQUES · Broad-Affymetrix collaboration examines chromatin and histone roles in gene regulation.
By Kevin Davies
March 8, 2005 | Researchers from the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT have used DNA microarrays to reveal patterns of chemical modifications of chromatin, the complex of protein and DNA that makes up chromosomes. Writing in Cell, Broad researchers Bradley Bernstein, Stuart L. Schreiber, Eric Lander, and co-workers say they have produced "an unprecedented long-range view [of chromatin modification], three orders of magnitude greater in scale than prior studies, that reveals a series of insights into the structure and function of vertebrate chromatin."
Chromatin is composed of spools of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones. Chemical modifications of the histones lead to conformation changes that have profound effects on gene activity in health and disease.
The Broad researchers collaborated with Affymetrix to survey the chromatin modifications along chromosomes 21 and 22. They first isolated DNA regions in which one of the histones (H3) had been chemically tagged either with methyl or acetyl groups. Next, the Affymetrix microarrays were used to identify the DNA sequences associated with the tagged histones. The Broad Institute's Michael Kamal led the computational data analysis.
The chromatin data "will be an invaluable resource in our effort to define the regulatory network of the genome," Kamal says. Future studies of these tags may shed light on the molecular basis of cancers, including leukemia. "We're finding that there may be much less unimportant DNA in the genome than we thought," said Thomas Gingeras, Affymetrix vice president of biological sciences.

In 2005, LaBrae boys basketball coach Chad Kiser found himself in a similar situation as this year, albeit in a different sport.
Then the LaBrae softball coach, his Vikings team made a run into the state semifinals before losing to the eventual state champions that year.
Kiser plans on using what he learned from that experience going into the 2013 Division III boys basketball state semifinal matchup against Versailles at 2 p.m., today in the Jerome Schottenstein Center. He's hoping to keep the boys basketball team from feeling overly anxious in Columbus.

Tribune Chronicle / Michael Taylor
LaBrae's basketball team celebrates after beating Oberlin during Saturday's Division III regional final at the Canton Memorial Fieldhouse. The Vikings play Versailles in Columbus today in a Division III state semifinal matchup.
"For the girls, it was the first time in that kind of situation," Kiser said. "There were a little bit of nerves. We did uncharacteristic things than what we had done all year.
"This year, coming into state, we're just trying to keep the boys so they're not nervous. So far, they've been able to do that."
If LaBrae (24-3) wants any chance of moving on to the state final on Saturday, the team will need to calm its nerves and focus on its opponent, Versailles (22-5).
Fact Box
Next game
Today:?Versailles vs. LaBrae, Columbus, 2 p.m.
Radio: 570-AM WKBN
Just northwest of Dayton, the Tigers play in one of the toughest conferences in the state - the Midwest Athletic Conference. The MAC includes schools like Delphos St. John's, Coldwater, Minster, Marion Local and St. Henry.
As for the team itself, senior Chad Winner and sophomore Kyle Ahrens lead the Tigers. Both earning two-time first team, All-MAC selections, Ahrens averages 19.1 points per game, while Winner adds 14.4 points per game.
"They play in a very good basketball league," Kiser said. "(Versailles) is tough, well coached, battled tested and they've been there nine years ago. They've got two really good players, and at this point, every team has to be playing well to get to state. So, I imagine their role players are playing really well like ours are."
Scoring about 62 points per game, it's the efficiency that makes the offense so formidable. The Tigers shoot 46.9 percent from the field as a team, including a 52.5-percent mark from their sophomore stud Ahrens.
Although being one of the tallest players on the team, the 6-foot-5 Ahrens plays guard for Versailles. He uses his size to his advantage, as he grabs a team-leading 6.2 rebounds per game.
Having played against Ahrens a few times on the AAU circuit, Peyton Aldridge knows a little about the Tigers' main man.
"We really have to contest all their shots," Aldridge said. "They've got some shooters on their team. Ahrens is a really athletic kid, so we just can't let him get to the glass."
Still, LaBrae's defense has played a huge role in their own run, allowing 40 points per game over five tournament games. The Vikings understand that they will need to keep up the defensive intensity in order to have a chance to win.
"We just need to play good defense," senior Carl Brown said. "I think our offense will come. We got a good coach, so he'll get us prepared to come out and get the victory."
A victory is exactly what the Vikings want, especially the group of seven seniors. They desire ending their careers as state champions.
"It has sunk in - that it's my last week," Brown said. "It's been a good road, and I just want to end it off good by winning state."

Soccer is a strange game.
The rules require one to run 90 to 120 minutes before resting. And one must be able to trip an opponent. It's a game of keep away, taking often 10 minutes just to get the ball to the other end of the field in hope of scoring. Just kick the ball harder, making it go farther, which could save 10 minutes.
The game could be improved by getting rid of the goalie, as the players can't hit the net anyway. Often, they kick the ball over the net or hit the goal posts. They could make it as tall and wide as the stadium. This way, teams could score perhaps three or four points each game.
American football players sometimes run the entire field to score. In soccer, that's not allowed because each team has 10 "trippers."

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants is looking for more feedback on its proposed guidance to establish some criteria for evaluating information in XBRL.
The AICPA's Assurance Services Executive Committee initially proposed the guidance in June for a 45-day comment period, but decided to reopen the comment period through Nov. 30, said Ami Beers, a manager at AICPA involved with business reporting, assurance, and XBRL. "We are hoping for more feedback, especially from the preparer community," she says.
The guidance is meant to establish some principles and criteria for how to evaluate information that is formatted in XBRL, which is the new data-interactive filing method that is now mandatory for all public companies through a three-tiered phase-in process. While AICPA exists to serve the accounting and auditing profession, the guidance is meant to be useful for preparers as well, she says.
Currently, public companies are not required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to have their XBRL submissions audited. However, based on the phase-in schedule for companies to submit their information through XBRL, they face increased liability as they gain more experience. The largest public companies, which entered their third cycle of XBRL submissions this year, are now facing full liability for the accuracy and completeness of their XBRL submissions under the SEC's usual filing requirements. The second tier of companies will face that same measure of liability when they enter their third cycle next year.
"While the SEC doesn't require auditor involvement associated with XBRL, companies have been reaching out to their auditors to involve them in the XBRL process," says Beers. "After 24 months of protection from liability, that goes away and the XBRL filings have the same liability as regular filings. Companies realize the importance of accuracy and they would like their auditors to take a look at it."
Because there is no regulatory requirement for auditors to review XBRL filings for accuracy, there are no standards from the SEC or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for auditors to follow. That's where the ACIPA's guidance is meant to help, says Beers. The AICPA first published SOP 09-1, which gave auditors some guidance on performing "agreed-upon procedures" engagements to look over XBRL-tagged data. That was issued before the SEC finalized its XBRL requirements, so the ACICPA is working on an update, she says. The current proposed guidance establishing principles and criteria is a preliminary step to that SOP update, she says.
The AICPA's goal was to focus on guidance that would be useful to those auditors asked by their clients to review XBRL submissions, but it is equally applicable to preparers and reviewers, according to Beers. "It's very user friendly, written in general terms so that it could be applied across multiple applications," she says.

Great Performances: The Hollow Crown: Henry IV, Part II
Friday, October 4 at 9:00 p.m.
We have heard the chimes at midnight.
- Falstaff, Act III, Sc. 2
In the aftermath of the Battle of Shrewsbury, the Lord Chief Justice (Geoffrey Palmer) attempts, on behalf of the increasingly frail King (Jeremy Irons), to separate Falstaff (Simon Russell Beale) from Prince Hal (Tom Hiddleston).
The rebels continue to plot insurrection. Falstaff is sent to recruit soldiers and takes his leave of his mistress, Doll Tearsheet (Maxine Peake, top photo at right). The rebel forces are overcome, which brings comfort to the dying King, who is finally reconciled to his son. Falstaff rushes to Hal's coronation with expectations of high office, only to be rebuffed by the former prince who has now become King Henry V (top photo).

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Shortly after 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, a caller to 911 reported flames showing from the roof of Beaumont Bolt & Gasket, located at 1040 Fannin. According to Beaumont Fire Rescue Captain Brad Penisson, when Beaumont firefighters arrived there were flames and smoke visible from the roof.
At approximately 2:38 a.m. this morning, Tuesday, November 24, 2015, Beaumont firefighters responded to a 911 call that was received reporting smoke coming from the Super Food Store, located at 1410 West Virginia. Once on scene, firefighters had to force entry to security panels on the exterior of the building. They entered the building and found heavy fire and smoke conditions in the interior of the building.
Beaumont Firefighters responded to a report of a house fire at 4860 Detroit just after 2 a.m. this morning, Monday, November 9, 2015.
AUSTIN— The mid-October skies in Smithville were cloaked by a thick smoke after a wildfire ignited near Buescher and Bastrop State Parks. Now that the final embers have been extinguished, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff have completed initial assessments of the wildfire impacts on park land.
Shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday morning, Oct. 18, 2015, Beaumont Fire Rescue units responded to a structure fire at 3880 E. Lynwood near the intersection of Cleveland Street and Hayes Lane in Beaumont's North End neighborhood. When firefighters arrived, they found the wood-frame home heavily involved by fire. Firefighters made a defensive attack due to the extent of the fire, and in more than 30 minutes it took to control the blaze, the home sustained extensive damage.
Friday, Oct. 16, 2015, at 9:30 a.m., Beaumont Fire Rescue responded to a report of a house fire at 2197 Rusk. According to Captain Brad Penisson, when firefighters arrived, they found a vacant duplex engulfed in flames. Firefighters were able to quickly control the blaze with no injuries, and it was determined the fire was deliberately set.
At approximately 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 15, 2015, Beaumont Fire Rescue firefighters responded to a structure fire at 3150 Cleveland. According to Captain Brad Penisson of the Beaumont Fire Department, when firefighters arrived, they found the rear portion of the home engulfed in flames. The occupants of the residence were able to escape without injury before firefighters arrived.
Beaumont Fire Rescue has deployed members of its Wildland Firefighting Team to the Bastrop area to assist the Texas Forest Service on the wildland fires there. Three firefighters left the afternoon of Oct. 14 with the wildland fire truck to be a part of a strike team once they arrive. They may be deployed for a period of 10 to 14 days before being released.
At approximately 9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, DPS troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 90 and Turner Road in China, Texas. Three people were transported to St. Elizabeth hospital.
On Sunday, September 27, 2015, in the wee hours of the morning, Beaumont firefighters were dispatched to two separate fires that may have been related.
At 3:41 a.m., the Beaumont Fire Department received a report of a building on fire at 410 Winfield. While at this location, fire dispatchers received a 911 call reporting another fire at 1208 Gilbert. Other units were dispatched to this location and were able to bring the flames under control within a few minutes.

"Also, I have heard that it is possible to enter Thailand with a one-way ticket IF you have evidence of enough money to fund further travel. Is this true?"
I don't believe that's true.
You should have either a ticket out, or a visa. With a visa, a one way ticket should be okay.
The airline would be the one to turn you away, not immigration.

I usually get an Americano with cream, Pike Place isn't strong enough for me!!
Finally found something at Starbucks that's primal and doesn't taste like ass:
Pike Place Roast made with heavy whipping cream.
By my estimation it's 0 carbs and 0 sugar. The whipping cream kills the bitterness of the coffee and produces a great flavor.
Price weights in at $1.75 or so for a tall. I usually make my coffee at home but if I'm out or if I'm going to Starbucks with friends this is a great substitution for the sugar-filled frappacinos I used to get.
I usually get an Americano with cream, Pike Place isn't strong enough for me!!
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Sounds more primal than the caramel frappucino I had there last week... Eep.
Plain green tea is primal in my opinion. That's what I would get a starbucks if I every wanted to pay 10 times more for lower quality.
I hate those pastries just tempting me. It wouldn't be so bad if they had some chicken right next to it but it's just a massive display of refined carbs
Fuck starbucks.
Heavy cream?
FREE COFFEE tomorrow (Thursday) at Starbucks if you bring in a refillable/commuter mug. Just regular brewed, no lattes or other fancy-shmancy drinks.
Hey, Stabby, don't forget to get one of those two-pound muffins as long as you're there.
Oh gosh considering my carb intake these days that would be comparable to a big fat line of cocaine. *wince*
On a hot day, try the iced passion tea. It has 0 calories and yet tastes like fruit juice.
Stabby, I agree with you about Starbucks. By their own admission they sell image, not fine coffee. I enjoy coffee,but at home.
Interesting that for something like four years in a row whoever judges coffee has decided that the best coffee is available at Dunkin Donuts, closely followed by 7-11.
I noticed that Dunkin Donuts has placed bags of their coffee in supermarkets---at a premium price.

The following is a letter to the editor that was sent to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
ADRIANA CARDOSO REYES/Grand Junction
As students celebrate the achievement of high school graduation and start enjoying their summer vacation before college this fall, many undocumented students in our local area begin searching for their own path among limited options with many of them caught in a limbo unsure if to pursue their educational goals or search among the limited employment options.
As conversations begin on Capitol Hill about the need for comprehensive immigration reform, I encourage everyone to see the debate from both sides and take an informed stance on the issue. A fair immigration system can only be accomplished if we recognize and value the contributions that immigrants have made to the United States. Advocating for passage of a comprehensive immigration reform that offers a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented individuals is one way of acknowledging the hardships and sacrifices made by these individuals and valuing their role in society.

Visual inputs usually come into the eye from the external environment in a normal way but they can be also influenced by various changes in the interior of the eye, for example by the floaters in the vitreous body. Everything has got some bugs ... even the eyesight. Does it happen to you sometimes that you look at the sky or other larger and brighter area and all of a sudden you are being disturbed by "eye floaters"? Did they move a bit further when you were trying to focus on them? If you have such problems then do not panic. The diagnosis is: muscae volitantes or eye floaters.
In fact there are no floaters in the eye. It is only you who perceives them. To be able to explain what is the cause of these so-called eye floaters we firstly have to describe how it looks like in the interior of the human eye. The eyeball consists of the eye wall whose interior part consists of the retina, the light sensitive layer. This layer perceives the visual perceptions.
The vitreous body fills the interior area of the eyeball. "Corpus vitreum" is a latin term for the vitreous body what in translation means a body composed of glass. However, this term does not correspond completely with the reality because even though the vitreous body is a transparent fluid, which we do not perceive under normal circumstances, it is not vitreous. The vitreous body is a transparent, gel-like fluid which in childhood is as thick as a runny pudding.
What causes eye floaters
With the age comes the drying, thinning of the vitreous body and the changes in its structure. Tiny and slight floaters form on its surface. As the floaters move very near towards the retina they are perceived as eye floaters. Around the fifth decade of life this often leads to a detachment of the posterior part of the vitreous body in the forward direction.
However, the posterior part is not completely transparent and has a visible ring by which the vitreous body was attached to the optic nerve. The ring is often perceived as an unpleasant web which moves in front of the human eye. However, these anomalies in the vitreous body do not have to affect exclusively the elder generations but they occur also in part of the younger generation.
Symptoms of eye floaters
The diagnosis of floaters in the eye or muscae volitantes was described on the basis of subjective symptoms which the patient perceives. Other symptoms different from the perception of certain images do not even exist.
The patient perceives floating semitransparent images (floaters) which can move slowly in the area of the central vision and remain there after every change of look. The patient feels like he is chasing them. Mostly they are not exactly in the center but immediately next to it. When you will try to focus on these images they will move a bit further.
We do not perceive them in our ordinary life but we will notice them when looking at the monolithic bright surface (e.g. when looking at the sky, white wall, when reading and so on). Floaters in the eye never worsen the sight, they only make the patient more nervous and frighten him a bit at the beginning because he is afraid of some more serious illness.
Diagnosis of floaters in the eye
In general, the diagnosis is banal and simple and does not cause any further problems then aforementioned eye floaters which we perceive in certain situations.
Despite this it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist when encountering these problems and describe the problems to him in detail. Sometimes some other problems can show in a similar way and those can be more serious eye illnesses which the patient is not capable of distinguishing.
The similar symptoms can occur during detachment of the posterior part of the vitreous body when the danger of crack in the retina can arise.
The eye floaters form also during the intraocular inflammations or during bleeding into the internal part of the eye. The symptoms are a bit different but only a doctor can diagnose more serious problem based on what you will tell him and of course on the basis of the eye examination.
During your visit to the ophthalmologist your sight will be examined eye by eye. Then your pupil will be extended through the application of drops and the doctor will perform detailed examination of the eye background.
The examination of muscae volitantes
The most commonly the doctor examines the patient by a slit lamp. He sets up a special magnifying glass (biomicroscope) in front of patient's eye to see the details on the eye background through large magnification, namely on the retina and in the vitreous body. Another procedure, which is even more detailed, is the examination with the help of the special lens (Goldman lens) which is attached to the human eye after the surface of the eye is anaesthetized by drops. The doctor sees right to the edge of the retina and the area of the vitreous body. This examination can exclude some other more serious diagnoses.
Eye floaters treatment
There is no need to undergo any eye floaters treatment with respect to the fact that the diagnose is utterly harmless and does not have any influence on worsening of the vision or sight damage. Most of the patients get used to this problem after some time and they begin to ignore it and it ceases to bother them or possibly they perceive it only when they increase the level of concentration for example on some white wall.
The formation of eye floaters depends on the natural changes in the vitreous body and is not caused by any behavior of the patient: neither reading nor working on the computer.
Do you have a risk of the formation of eye floaters?
All of us have a risk of the formation of floaters in the eye. It is a very common problem which a lot of people suffer from. Moreover as we get older the probability of the formation of muscae volitantes increases. However, this problem can occur also at younger age and mostly in short-sighted people.

I was vegetarian from age 16 to age 28. WORST decision of my life (healthwise). The BEST thing I have ever done for my health was to add in meat, poultry, fish back into my diet. Honestly. (And I've done a lot! )
If you search the archives, there are at least 10 good threads on this topic with lots of helpful tips. For me I added one meat at a time--eating it cooked by someone else (who is a good cook) might be a good way to start as well. It's quite tasty and was not that difficult for me to adjust to personally.
Good luck!! Check this mda blogpost--may be helfpul! How to Eat Meat: Transitioning Away from Vegetarianism | Mark's Daily Apple

"I am a work in progress." -Ani DiFranco
You'll have to make the call as to whether you can feel good about the decision to eat meat; nobody can tell you how to feel psychologically about that. But like so many others, I felt physically better after including meat in my diet after years of vegetarianism. I truly believe it to be healthier.
My realization came when I got a dog and researched a good diet for her. I thought to myself, "holy cow, this is downright silly; I'm looking to feed my dog what she was naturally designed to eat but I'm not doing the same for myself!"
Maybe spend some time asking yourself what the actual reasons are behind not eating meat and addressing each one on it's own merit. For example, I didn't like the practices employed to get us our cheap conventional meat, so I addressed that by finding a local, pasture-raised source.
Meat makes you strong. The redder the stronger.
I was veggie for 20+ years before becoming interested in Primal eating. I tried the veggie/primal route for 6 months but it was very limiting.
The biggest hurdle for me was a psychological one.......but 3 months ago i had some bacon and the rest is history.......last weekend i had my 1st rib-eye steak lovin' it!!
meat eating was never option to me, i grew up in the villages in the mountain, where meat eating was the best and it always will be.
I think this issue -- for you in particular -- is very personal and actually quite unique.
truthfully, in the west, most of us have no concept of 10 generations of vegetarianism and the cultural, religious, and familial processes involved here. It *is* a bigger deal than those of us who were veg for 5-25 years and then gave it up for our health.
if you are generally healthy, if you feel healthy and so on, then I see no specific reason to eat meat for your health. Particularly if your mental, religious, and social health would suffer.
I think that simply consuming eggs and dairy, staying away from grains and legumes, and eating your fresh veggies and fruits, nuts, and seeds, you'll probably be just fine and no worries.
I, in this situation, would stay with my culture/family, and just adapt primal to suit those cultural/religious/social requirements.

OTSEGO, MI -- It was only a harmless bacteria, not a ruptured oil pipeline, that left an ominous sheen on the waters of the Kalamazoo River in Otsego last week.
A Kalamazoo Gazette reader was alarmed when he spotted a large amounts of oil on the Kalamazoo River in in Otsego, which he believed to be from the 2010 Enbridge pipeline rupture near Marshall.
The oil he saw was far beyond the told limit of spill, which sent oil into Talmadge Creek,
a tributary of the Kalamazoo River. He asked a reporter to check it out.
Michigan Department of Environmental Qulaity water quality analyst Steve Norton went to the site behind Casa Real restaurant and took a look, and photos.
The issue turned out to be iron bacteria, which doesn't present any significant resource or public health threat, said Jerrod Sanders, district supervisor for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Water Resources Division.
The Department of Environmental Quality often receives complaints about paint or a rust-colored substance creating an unnatural colored oil-like sheen in moist areas or on a water body, Sanders said.
According to a brochure the department distributes, some oil-like films, coatings, and slimes, although they may look bad, are natural phenomena, caused by bacteria.
The phenomena can be found anywhere groundwater carries minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, and sulfur. Bacteria react to the presence of minerals in the water.
These bacteria are of no threat to human health and have been involved in the iron and manganese cycles for billions of years, the brochure says. When bacteria attach themselves to the water surface sunlight bounces off the films, giving them an oily appearance.
To test the difference between a bacterial film and oil floating on the water, break the film.
If the film stays broken, it is a natural bacterial film. If it flows back into place, it is petroleum, which indicates pollution.Pollution should be reported to the State of Michigan's Pollution
Emergency Alerting System (PEAS) hotline at 1-800-292-4706. For more information contact any Water Bureau district office or call the State of Michigan's Environmental Assistance Center at 1-800-662-9278.

State police arrested Kenneth Ford Hamilton Jr. on Sunday after a six-week investigation, they said.
Hamilton, 58, of Phoenixville, was arraigned before District Judge Harry Farmer and held on $250,000 bail.
In a statement released Monday, the school district said officials learned of the arrest through news reports.
"At this time, the district has not received any official notification from authorities regarding those charges," the statement said. "The district will, of course, cooperate fully with any investigation into these allegations, if requested to do so."

This is a story of six decades, three countries and statelessness. A story about the urdu-speaking community of Bangladesh. Filmed in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, the documentary examines one tragic aspect of the legacy of the partition of India.
The terms "urdu-speakers" and the more loaded "biharis" are used to refer to muslim people who originally emigrated from India to the newly created East Pakistan in 1947 and afterwards.
Many of them, but by no means all, originated from the state of Bihar and were fleeing large scale communal massacres.
Three decades later, during the struggle for independence in Bangladesh in 1971, this community became embroiled in conflict. Isolated as collaborators against Bangladeshi independence, this moment was a defining one for the urdu-speakers and has had a devastating legacy.
This is a story about the 160,000 people from this community who live isolated in 116 "camps" or "settlements" in Bangladesh.

A small rural village in northwest Ohio, full farm machinery and wiggers. About the size of a nickel. Tries to cram every ethnic restarunt inside its limits. Has one dangerous intersection. Includes people who mow their lawn riding a mower with two push mowers attached, and those who think themed mailboxes are the next "it" item. Has trains that wake you up at night, and a blasting quarry to distract the elementary students.

City in the north-west of Italy, hometown of Christopher Columbus, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Pietro Germi, Vittorio Gassman, Fabrizio De André, Ivano Fossati. Famous for pesto and blue jeans (from "bleu de Gênes", lit. "blue of Genoa"). Largest port of Italy and home of the first football team in the country, Genoa Football & Cricket Club, founded in 1893. Stunningly beautiful city inhabited by proud, highly unsociable people. The Genovese invented the first bank and the first pawnshop in the Western world.

But the room fills
with a child's
unceasing cries
that rise from fears
reason cannot touch.
To my query,
the waitress replies
that no one sits
on the smoking side,
so we move there
with polite care
and find an array
of beautifully
bare tables,
where we take a place
half way down.
Testing its peace,
we feel the luck
of an esplanade
when the sun
is softly bright
and few are there.
We are almost placed
at a cafe
reserved for us
near Paris.
As we choose our food,
from far around
the dividing L
fragments loop
from the child's cry,
echoing fears
that lie ahead,
but as we talk
with old familiarity,
an easy space
breathes briefly back.

Florida State had a need for at least one all-purpose tailback in the 2013 class and Ryan Green certainly fills that role.
With James Wilder, Jr. and Devonta Freeman returning to the running back rotation as the only players on this year's team with any experience, adding depth and playmaking ability that Green brings from St. Petersburg Catholic was one of National Signing Day's more important developments.
Green will join a tailback corps that also has Mario Pender, but the redshirt freshman has yet to play a down of college football yet. With just four true tailbacks on the roster -- and only Chad Abram as the lone returning fullback -- Green will have the chance to earn immediate playing time once he gets to Tallahassee this summer.
"A very dynamic athlete," FSU offensive assistant Randy Sanders said. "A tremendous basketball player, track athlete, has done a lot of different things while he was in high school as far as positions. I think he can be the kind of running back that we all want. He's the kind of running back that makes you look like a really good football coach."
With Freeman and Wilder, Jr. both entering their junior years, Green will be important for the future of the position moving forward.
"Tremendous lower body with great hands," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "You can flex him out and put him out in the slot and you can run him. I think he's excellent and a tremendous young man."
Green publicly gave a verbal pledge to Florida State June 15, 2012 and remained firm in that decision despite heavy interest from some of the nation's top programs. The only official visit he took during the recruiting process was to FSU.
He also chose to stick with the Seminoles despite the loss of running backs coach Eddie Gran, who left the program when he accepted the offensive coordinator position at Cincinnati.
"The kid never wavered," Sanders said. "You get a new position [and] and a number of different coaching changes but the kid never waved in his commitment and i think that speaks volumes about him as well as the type of parents he has."
"Looking forward to all of the different things he'll be able to do for us," Sanders added. "Not only as a ball carrier but as a receiver out of the backfield and hopefully as a kick returner."

Historical Traveler Reviews Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur
A four * hotel with five * service
My wife and I stayed in a Premier room at the Concorde. There are many advantages in using a Premier room including a one way free limousine service from (or to) KL airport, fast check in/out, a separate lounge with free refreshments,access to a swimming pool and keep fit centre and more.
Our room was large and well equipped with a good sized comfortable bed,a spacious,clean bathroom and the usual mini bar, TV and internet connections.
Breakfast in the Spices restaurant was varied and of excellent quality. There are three restaurants, including the Hard Rock Cafe, with food to suit all tastes available 24 hours a day.
The hotel is well situated for the tourist attractions of the Golden Triangle and is adjacent to a monorail station. Taxis, which are reasonably priced, are available from the hotel forecourt.
The distinguishing feature of the Concorde is the quality of the customer service. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive and make a genuine effort to make your stay trouble free and enjoyable.
I recommend this hotel to TripAdvisor readers without reservation and would certainly return myself.
Great value in Bukit Bintang
Stayed here for about a week on the way to Australia in April 2003 with my wife and two kids.
While not providing any excessive luxury I must say it gives great value for the price level.
The rooms are nice and clean, the staff are polite and the pool area excellent.
I will definitely consider staying here again next time I go to KL.
A Happy Time Guaranteed
I stayed at the hotel for a week and had a lovely time. The view of the Petronas Towers from my room was lovely and the staff were consistantly friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little tired around the edges, but not scruffy.
My only shock was that when I went for a massage at the health spa I was immediately asked if I wanted a massage or s--. Even more suprisingly, it wasn't by the girl, behind closed doors, the offer was made by the chap running the payment counter on the way in!
I've stayed in most of KL's best hotels but this is the only one to openly boast a brothel. I was a bit shocked. But it's an easy flaw to overlook as it's not in any way a sleazy hotel.
Still, forwarned is forearmed... so just avoid the health spa (unless that's your thing) and you'll find this to be a great place to stay.
One of the best
I can't rate this hotel highly enough, I really can't! I stayed at the Concorde twice over a two week period, and on both occasions I found it to be one of the best hotels i've ever stayed in. Value-for-money-wise, the Concorde is second to none, everything is so inexpensive, from dinner to airport tranfers to the rooms themselves (I can totally recomend the 'premiere' rooms, but the 'standard' rooms are also very good if you are on a real budget). Also the service is superb, the staff are very friendly and highly professional. The location is central, but not in the thick-of-it-all (so you'll be able to get a good nights sleep) and you are right on top of the monorail which runs all over the city centre. All in all, I have no problem recomending this hotel to anyone and everyone!
Great value
We had a stopover in KL and found the hotel very good. We took a half day tour of the city and had dinner in The Spices restaurant upstairs. It was a very impressive a la carte restaurant. The meal was wonderful and staff very friendly. I loved my stay in KL and this hotel.
Highly Recommended
I stayed here for 5 nights last September after staying at a few cheap places in the Bukit Bingtang area. I had some friends staying in Renessaince, but they were not overly impressed by the service and room they were staying in, so I opted for the Concorde instead which was close by. I have to say that the hotel surpassed my own expectations - and in hindsight I think it is under-rated. I was impressed by the enthusiasm and politeness of their staff; Room service was quick and efficient too. The room itself was a decent size; bathroom was very clean with two basins; and I had a fantastic view of the Petronas Towers from my room window.
The hotel is in a great location and I have already booked my room (the same room as last time) for my stay next week :-)
Best Hotel in KL
We simply will not stay anywhere else. I'm American and my wife is Malaysian Chinese and we both love this place. We stay here with our 2 year old baby with no problems. The staff is great. Upgrade to the Premire package and get VIP checkin, a fantastic room, VIP breakfast, and free entrance to their workout room. All for between RM 200 and 300. Its location is perfect for nightlife, food and downtown shopping at KLCC. A HardRock cafe is attached so I can get my fix of western food. Forget the Nikko and other overpiced downtown hotels....
Fantastic hotel and great location!
My partner and i stayed at this hotel in the summer of 2002. We got a v good deal via an asia hotels website, which included an upgrade to the 'premier' wing and a lift from the airport in a limo. It was fanstic value. after travelling from london to kl it was great to have the driver waiting for us! the concorde is not amazingly pretty froom the outside, but inside it is very nice. the premier wign is amazing. very modern rooms, ours had a view of the petronas towers! cd player and tv. great bathroom with huge walk-in shower, bath and 2 sinks. total luxury all round. being in the premier wing means you have breakfast ina colonial-style building right by the pool. excellent food and a fantastic start to the day. the pool istself is great and has a view of the petronas towers. being in the premier wing means you check in a special area. we found the staff could not do enough for us, despite the fact that we arrived with backpacks. the hotel also has a fun bar with cabaret. we loved the concorde so much we booked in again at the end of our trip. I would definitely recommend it, just make sure you go for a room in the premier wing!
Lovely Concorde
The Concorde is an under-rated hotel. We visited in July 2003 and had a lovely time. The hotel is within easy reach of everything and has a splendid view of the Petronas Towers which are truely elegant.
The pool is nice and the gym is good too. The bar is nice and friendly too.
Its about 10 minutes taxi ride away from the train station and is approx 10 minutes walk to the Petronas Towers, where there are great shops and eateries.
We would go back.
