GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Bob Wells has become a sort of "audience participation" expert.
As on-field host for the West Michigan Whitecaps, his booming voice leads the crowd in responding to the between-innings stunts and other attractions that give baseball fans added value at Fifth Third Ball Park.
And he's bringing that skill to the stage at this year's Hark Up! Christmas musical, "Love Came Down."
"We'll be getting people up and moving and dancing and doing all kinds of stuff," promised Wells, 47, of his role in the production.
This year Hark Up shifts to more of a concert experience rather than the skits and story lines of the past.
"We have three dance groups, including a professional hip-hop group led by Shirley Arill," said artistic director Chris Hansen.
There are also members of the Grand Rapids Original Swing Society (GROSS), who dance to several songs.
Although there is no children's choir this time around, the band section is beefier, with the usual Hark Up Horns Big Band added to the Kick It In The Brass ensemble and a six-piece saxophone section.
"That includes a bass saxophone, which are very rare," Hansen said about the large instrument, not typically used in orchestral scores.
"One of our guys has played one before, but we had to go up to Reed City to get one."
Violinist Susan Belliel also returns.
Wells has a fine singing voice, and grew up in a musical family in which his father was a music teacher.
"We had a family band when I was little – I was the rhythm section and played the maracas when I was 3 or 4," he recalled.
He has several lead vocal solos in Hark Up, including the Dixieland swing-style "Jesus Child."
Wells is also among the group of soloists out front for one of his personal favorites – Kirk Franklin's version of the upbeat "Brighter Day."
"I'm back up singer for the other vocalists, which is a great place to be for some really great singers," Wells said.
Carly Uthoff returns this year to sing and is joined by Eric Billin, Heather Larson and Jordan Radvansky, who sings lead for the metal band Seraphim.
With the choirs, dancers, instrumentalists and others, more than 200 performers are involved.
"When they all come on stage for that final number, it's packed," Hansen said.
Once again, Hansen and the Hark Up crew have purposely mixed in varying styles of music. There's a Brian Setzer Orchestra version of "Angels We Have Heard On High" and other new twists on familiar Christmas songs.
The artists even parody a Dave Matthews Band tune.
The production's title song, "Love Came Down," was popularized by inspirational singer Kerrie Roberts and features the full Hark Up Choir.
Wells, a high school math teacher, has seen several of Hark Up's previous productions. His brother-in-law Scott Pedersen is a drummer in Hark Up, and Wells has connections with several other production regulars.
"Seeing what I do with the Whitecaps, Scott came up with the idea of trying to incorporate some of that stuff in Hark Up," Wells said.
Don't expect him to lead the audience in the "Chicken Dance" or "YMCA," both typical Whitecaps fare.
"We'll do something … you may be surprised," he said.
From Hark Up of 2010, "Love Has Come":

WHITE, Ga. (AP) - Up to 2,000 hawks, doves, ducks, geese and other birds within a half-mile of a Georgia farm died after feeding on corn that had been laced with insecticide and left out in the open as bait, state officials say.
"Some birds were just feathers and skeletons and some birds were just alive and dying," said Sgt. Mitch Yeargin of the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division law enforcement branch. "I tried to pick up a seemingly alive bird, but it flew up to a limb and fell down."
Investigators said that based on interviews they conducted, they believe the corn had been used as bait at the farm to get rid of nuisance wildlife. The investigators would not say what species of wildlife were targeted, and they said they have not established who put the corn out.
In Georgia, poisoning wildlife is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine for each animal harmed.
Deborah Mosher called authorities Tuesday after seeing dozens of dead and dying birds on her land, near the fishing-pond dam where the tainted corn was found.

Muy caliente!
Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend, Austin Butler turned a trip to Barcelona into an international make-out session this week, kissing all over the romantic city.
After attending the Formula 1 Championship in Monte Carlo, the pair snapped photos, held hands and locked lips while sightseeing.
They took in more than just each other's faces, too, checking out the Dali museum and Gaudi Park.
Butler, 20, and Hudgens, 23, haven't been shy about displaying their affections – they've been photographed heating up Miami and smooching in Hollywood.
Butler previously played Jamie Lynn Spears's love interest on Zoey 101, and regularly guest stars on ABC Family's Switched at Birth.

Alak Grows Up
He's come a long way since the blue haired, spoiled, careless teenager we were introduced to at the start of the first episode. In being forced to kill Skeuver to defend his mother's honor, we're not only seeing Alak is a different sort of Castithan (revenge killings are generally NBD) but also has a soul.
About damn time.
Nolan The Hero
It was awesome to see Nolan get applause after saving Stahma, but we're more fans of the Nolan/Stahma interaction. They've got an interesting dynamic (how great would it be if they had an affair. Imagine Datak learning THAT), so any shred of interplay between the two is a plus.
Yewll Drops A Digit
First of all, gross. Second, Pottinger clearly doesn't play. And that's awesome.
The Tables Are Turned
The whole "do something bad, then play the hero in order to win favor" is a clever move, but also a staple of any good TV schemer. USUALLY it works. But in the case of Pottinger, he saw right through Datak's attempt to "play hero" and get out of prison, and flat out denied him. Datak's reaction and Pottinger breezy dismissal was a two-fold dose of awesome.

It's just after nine on Monday morning. Kyra Phillips is polluting the CNN newsroom and I think I've settled on eggs and Red Bull for breakfast. I scroll through the text messages on my iPhone while leafing through the morning paper. As I scarf down the eggs, I switch to MSNBC and the news crawl catches my eye with a blur of words like "China," "Republican," "Disaster" and "Climate Shift."
My brain is still partly focused on the continuous flow of news when Twitter - the popular social networking Web site - starts demanding my attention. Checking Twitter from my iPhone, I note that 390 updates have flooded my inbox, all from a variety of contacts addressing numerous subjects. Everything from the mundanes and absurdities of day-to-day life, alerts about upcoming albums and films, breaking news, pictures, rumor mills, video links and other miscellaneous hilarity.
It's now 9:25 a.m., and my iPhone has only barely begun to perform a measure of its capabilities.
Article Photos
This is the daily reality for millions of Americans. Information is no longer in high demand - it's in exponential demand. Of course, it's human nature to want to explore the world around us. But is this lifestyle of a constant, insatiable hunger for information a normal part of human nature, or is it the outward sign of an unhealthy obsession?
Religious tradition holds that it's embedded into the design of man to ultimately demand knowledge. In Judeo-Christian tradition, the book of Genesis shows that the first people were placed in Paradise and commissioned to tend to this garden, where they could eat of all the trees except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve is ensnared by her senses and, in her humanity, takes a bite of the poison fruit after being promised she will become like God.
Eastern tradition tells of a young prince Siddhartha who once lived a life opulence. He becomes disgusted with the aristocratic environment he was bred into and becomes hungry for more than what he has come to know. He desires to see beyond the palace walls and to meet his subjects. After he runs away, he encounters an old beggar and ventures into the heart of human suffering to pursue the teaching of enlightenment and understanding.
Hesiod's "Theogony" includes tales of Greek myths that show how the god of the cosmos swallowed the physical manifestations of knowledge to digest all of it's intricacies. The Greeks, who westernized education, also sought to understand the natural world. Pagan cults of that time also made strong demands of their idols, asking for knowledge to literally burst out of the statues.
But I doubt all the poets, prophets and priests could foresee a time when information would become as abundant as it is today; a time when stone tablets or a town crier wouldn't fit the bill.
Through this near obsession for information, the general public has reinvented the concept of word of mouth. Twitter's slogan is: "Share and discover what's happening right now, anywhere in the world." Each post, or message, on Twitter is allowed 140 characters to convey any idea, thought, or comment. Each Twitter user can follow other users' posts, and their posts can be followed by still other users, and so on.
Most news Web sites have options to post links to their articles on Twitter. So as a user, I can post something like this on Twitter: "onion.com/dh56sJ via @TheOnion - Bald Eagle Tired Of Everyone Just Assuming It Supports War."
According to Twitterment, the twitter search engine, 1.7 million posts, or tweets, are sent from Twitter users each day. Quantacast, a site used to monitor and tally the traffic to any particular Web site, reports Twitter had 238 million visits per month in 2009, and Twitter's Web site only accounts for 47 percent of the tweets that are sent (the rest come through other software applications).
That many posts sent out to innumerable users spreading common knowledge, news, facts and observations - that's a tremendous amount of information shared on a daily basis.
An example of how this works can be seen right in The Sentinel newsroom. City Editor Bethany Fehlinger uses Twitter to tweet about veganism, President Obama and healthy living. Reporter Marjorie Stromberg tweets about the media industry, polar bears and handbags. As a Sentinel correspondent, I tweet about how I can't afford tickets to the annual Coachella Music Festival, my Red Bull intake, U2 and Soren Kierkegaard quotes. We each follow each other's posts, so Bethany gets to see my complaints and Kierkegaard quotes, Marjorie sees Bethany's links to vegan stuff and I see Marjorie's links to articles about Alaskan polar bears. This is news and information being circulated and redistributed in a convenient way.
On a larger scale, it works even better. Just the other week, I was waiting for my carpool, when someone suggested that I take pictures of the swollen Susquehanna River along US 322 on my way to Harrisburg, due to the recent heavy rains. My carpool was late, but I still wanted to get pictures for The Sentinel, so I posted a message on Twitter asking for that favor. Someone following my tweets, who just happened to be a friend and professional photographer, saw the message, and within a few hours I had professional shots of the river cresting at high levels.
I don't think society has developed an unhealthy obsession with information. We have simply progressed and responded to a need to spread and take in a constant flow of information. Truth be told, my morning would have been radically different if I had just started with checking Twitter - I could have skipped Kyra Phillips and the headache I got from the crawl on MSNBC.
Charles Peters is a Sentinel correspondent. He can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

U.S. home price gains slow for 3rd straight month
U.S. home price gains cooled in February from the previous year for the third month in a row, as harsh winter weather and high buying costs have slowed sales.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 12.9 percent in February compared with 12 months earlier. While healthy, that is down from a 13.2 percent gain in January.
And home prices fell in 13 of the 20 cities in February compared with the previous month. The index is not adjusted for seasonal variations, so those declines partly reflect weaker sales in the winter.
In addition to bad weather, sales have been held back by a limited supply of available homes, which has forced potential buyers to bid up prices. That's caused prices to increase even as sales have slowed. Sales of existing homes fell to their lowest level in 20 months in March.
Still, with sales slowing, many economists forecast that price gains will keep dropping this year into the mid-single digits.
Prices in Las Vegas dipped 0.1 percent in February from the previous month, the city's first monthly decline in nearly two years. And home prices fell 1.6 percent in Cleveland and 0.7 percent in Tampa, Fla. Both monthly drops were the largest for those two cities since January 2012.
Las Vegas still posted the biggest 12-month gain, with an increase of 23.1 percent. But that's down from 24.9 percent in January. Many investors snapped up homes in Las Vegas after prices plunged in the housing bust, causing sharp price gains.

Hi there – and how utterly charming to meet with you!
My name is Tanya Marlow, and I'm channelling my inner Jane Austen as I invite you to sit with me, take a sip of your favourite hot beverage, and get to know a little about me.
Writer, author, broadcaster, campaigner:
- I am the author of Coming Back to God When You Feel Empty – Whispers of Restoration from the Book of Ruth, intertwining my own journey with the book of Ruth. See more here.
- I am a contributor to the book Soul Bare – ed. Cara Sexton (forthcoming, IVP (USA), Aug 2016)
- I write regularly for online magazines She Loves Magazine, and Mudroom (USA and worldwide).
- I have also written for The Spectator, Relevant Magazine.com (USA), Premier Christianity Magazine (UK), Threads (UK), and BigBible.
- I am a broadcaster who has been featured in BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Devon, and UK's Premier Christian Radio (audio), and Big Bible Project, BBC Spotlight, Change for ME documentary (video).
- I am the founder of Compassionate Britain, a grassroots campaigning organisation that unites Christians to speak up for disabled people against the government cuts affecting their essential support. I campaign for disability rights and better treatment and funding for M.E. patients.
Background – Christian ministry; university-level lecturing:
- I was formerly a lecturer in Biblical Theology, and Associate Director for the Peninsula Gospel Partnership Training Course (accredited by St Mark and St John University, Plymouth, UK).
- I have had ten years' experience as a Christian minister, pastoral counsellor and student worker, and have been a speaker and preacher at Spring Harvest and New Word Alive.
My health:
- In 2007, I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, a debilitating chronic autoimmune neurological disease, which affects my mobility and energy, and comes with a plethora of annoying symptoms. You can read more about it here.
- In 2010, my world changed when I gave birth and my M.E. tipped over into 'severe M.E.' Since then I have been housebound, needing to spend approximately 21 hours per day in bed, only able to leave the house once or twice a month for a brief trip out in my wheelchair. I now measure out my life in teaspoons. I need to rest much of the day, and have to strictly ration my time talking with friends, writing, or playing with my son.
- In 2014 I was also diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which means my body does not enjoy being upright, and my heart goes crazy when I stand up.
- Living with chronic illness has shaped and refined my theology, and made me passionate about justice for marginalised people. You can read more about my response to this in Why Thorns and Gold?
My family:
- I have an amazing husband who is a vicar (church minister) in the Church of England, and we live by the sea in Devon, UK. (NB the picture above is NOT Devon. It's Greece…) He's an artist, wine connoisseur, preacher-man and organiser of legendary kids' parties, and blogs sporadically here.
- We have a small-but-loud golden-haired son whose company we enjoy immensely. To protect him from future teenage friends googling his name and finding out all the cute things he did as a toddler, I refer to him online as 'boy'.
My passions:
- writing honestly about suffering, doubt and searching for God
- connecting the emotional with the spiritual, and vice versa
- teaching the Bible so that it gets under your skin, ministers to your spirit and leads you to Jesus
- social justice, especially feminism and rights for disabled people

Baseball Posts 11-7 Victory Over Northwestern Ohio
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State baseball team picked up an 11-7 non-conference victory over Northwestern Ohio Tuesday afternoon at Ball Diamond. First baseman Billy Wellman (Portland, Ind./Jay County) drove in a career-high five runs in the victory while freshman Brandon Estep (Selma, Ind./Wapahani) notched his first career home run giving the Cardinals the lead for good in the seventh inning.
Northwestern Ohio (23-18) took the game's first lead in the top of the first inning against freshman right-hander Scott Baker (North Manchester, Ind./Manchester). Baker got the first two outs of the inning quickly and got in front of Ben Smith 1-2 before he hit a solo home run over the right field wall for the 1-0 Racers' lead.
Ball State (9-25) answered right back in the bottom half of the first inning as Northwestern Ohio starter Ryan Burns walked two batters. Wellman gave the Cardinals the lead as he ripped a two-run double into right center field. The Cardinals took a 3-1 lead as he scored on a wild pitch and a Racers' throwing error allowing him to score from second base.
After the Racers scored a run in the second inning, Ball State retook a two-run lead in the third inning. Mitch Widau (Richmond, Ind./Richmond) led off with a walk and moved to third as Estep singled into center field. Widau came home to score the Cardinals' fourth run as Burns uncorked a wild pitch.
Northwestern Ohio came back in the top of the fifth inning scoring two runs chasing Baker from the game tied at 4-4. Ball State responded in the bottom of the fifth as Wellman crushed a three-run home run off the scoreboard in left center field for his second long ball of the season giving the Cardinals a 7-4 lead.
The Racers tied the game against the Ball State bullpen with three runs in the seventh inning. Northwestern Ohio got the big hit of the inning off the bat of Dylan Brammer as he hit a two-run home run over the left field wall to tie the game at 7-7.
Ball State came right back in the bottom half of the seventh against left-hander Patricio Pena. After the Cardinals got a runner on base, Estep drilled a 1-2 pitch high over the left field wall for his first career home run giving the Cardinals a 9-7 lead.
The Cardinals added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth inning as they took advantage of a pair of Northwestern Ohio fielding errors to take an 11-7 lead.
Right-hander Tyler Jordan (Bloomington, Ind./Bloomington South) retired the last seven batters he faced to pick up his first career victory. Pena (1-3) was charged with the loss in relief allowing four runs on three hits in 3.0 innings of work.
Ball State returns to Ball Diamond this weekend for a three-game series against Mid-American Conference West Division foe Eastern Michigan. First pitch Friday is set for 3 p.m.

"I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you," she says in the December issue of Cosmopolitan. "It's a conscious thing: it's a common sense thing. ... I just don't ever want to end up in a relationship that isn't fair ever again."
Although she's been linked to actors, musicians and even a Kennedy, Swift, 22, is more concerned with chemistry than anything else.

But while her love life provides endless inspiration for her hit songs, the Grammy Award winner says there's only one thing she'd do if she wasn't making music.
"Being a mom full time, doing everything for my kids, having a bunch of them," she says of her future aspirations. "That's the only other thing that could be as thrilling for me as doing this."

Welcome to part 2! Part 2 will cover United flights from SNA-ORD-PHL with an unexpected/unwelcome surprise at the end. After re-reading part 1, I realized I made numerous grammatical and spelling errors. I want to apologize now for that, as it was late and I was just trying to get the trip posted. Hopefully this part will feature fewer errors. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, I woke up before my alarm at 5:00 AM. I went to bed around 9:00 PM. I find it easier to stay on east coast time when doing these quick trips to the west coast and back. So really I got plenty of sleep, but no one likes to wake up before the alarm. I took a shower and packed up my things, checked out and began the short 10-minute walk to SNA.
The Hilton Irvine shortly after 6:00 AM
Looking across the street at the parking structure of SNA, the parking garage goes on for a good 2 or 3 blocks. The streets looks really cool at night: it's lined with palm trees down the center and the street lights make it look picture perfect. I attempted to capture that….fail
When entering from the street, just find this sign and the door is right there to enter the parking garage. Walk straight across, past the cars, cross the street and you are at the terminal.
Check in was very quick at this time of the morning -- only my flight to ORD, another flight to DEN, and a flight to SFO. Went through the priority security lane, and was airside within 5 minutes. At this point it was only 6:20 so I waited outside the elevators by gate 7 to gain access to the RCC. The elevators do not function until 6:30 AM on the nose. Rode it up and was the 2nd person to enter.
The RCC is quite small and is above the terminal but very open. Not as quiet as others but still a nice place to relax, check your e-mail, and grab a quick bite to eat.
I checked the weather in ORD to make sure my flights to and from ORD would be on time, which looked like they would be.
The coveted gold boarding passes
About 35 minutes I made my way down to gate 5 where an old c/s 757 was waiting.
December 14
Routing: SNA-ORD
Flight: United 436
Aircraft: N533UA 757
Seat: 4A
Departure: 8:08 AM from gate 5
Arrival: 1:21 PM at gate C25
Take Off: 19R
Land: 14R
Boarding started promptly 30 minutes before departure. There was quite a crowd growing at the gate, so I had to wait a little bit before I could get on board. A pre-departure beverage was offered of either water or orange juice, I opted for the orange juice. Next to us was a Southwest 737.
Legroom was the standard 38" for United domestic first. First class was full, and I never got a chance to see what coach was, but from the gate area it looked pretty full.
Pushback was more or less on time and we taxied towards runway 19R for take off.
The following shots are the planes that took off before us or landed before us. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
I found it surprising though how many GA planes there were leaving SNA. I assume it is the people with big money who live in the area? Locals might have better insight on this.
It was now our turn to take off
I have read all about the "famous" SNA take off. The captain even made a special announcement about it. The engines began spooling up with the brakes still set. The brakes were released before the engines were in take-off position, though. The climb out did seem more steep than usual, but I did not really notice the engine pull back. I think it's around 3000 ft. I was busy snapping pictures so maybe I wasn't paying attention. I tried to feel it, but it seemed pretty normal. I will have to go back to try again.
Soon enough we were at a safe altitude for the flight attendants to begin the breakfast service. Drink orders were taken and I opted for more orange juice. Hot towels were distributed which it always a nice touch. Cloth napkins were also laid down on the tray table. The choices today were either a spinach omelet or the normal fruit and I believe bagel meal. When the flight attendant came to me she only offered the spinach omelet, which is what I wanted anyway. My neighbor didn't get anything and it looked like other people in the cabin didn't either. Maybe the FA knows most people want the hot meal so she doesn't even offer the cold one unless they run out?
This picture makes the omelet look disgusting, but it was actually really good. I always think plane food is good, so I don't know if I luck out or just have weird taste buds.
The movie was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, so I decided I could better spend my time watching a movie on my lap top. So my obligatory shot of the IFE.
The flight attendants came around multiple times offering drink refills, which is always appreciated. The flight passed rather quickly and those 150 MPH headwinds from the previous day were now 150 MPH tailwinds. We were soon beginning our descent into ORD.
We made a smooth touch down on 14R despite the 20 knot winds, according to the captain.
We had a kind of long taxi to gate C25.
My next flight was departing from the B concourse so I immediately made my way over there. I have been wanting to check out the new RCC that opened a few months ago by B18 . I didn't get any pictures of the lounge but it was quite nice inside. Next to the bar there is a counter top with a ton of outlets, so I camped out there for the hour or so I had before my flight to Philadelphia.
December 14
Routing: ORD-PHL
Flight: United 148
Aircraft: N938UA 737-500
Seat: 2D
Departure: 3:38 PM from gate B4
Arrival: 9:09 PM to gate D11
Take Off: I think 22R
Land: 27R
My 737 at gate B4
We pushed back on time, and had a short taxi to (I think) 22R but it could have been 22L. It was getting kind of dark at this point and my camera was not cooperating so the pictures weren't really turning out.
Again legroom on the 737 is the same as the 757.
We did a rolling take off and shot into the air. The cloud base was real low, probably around 1000 feet or so. We didn't break through the clouds until way past the chimes of 10,000 feet. The purser came around and took drink orders. I ordered a jack and diet. Now she was kind of young, I would guess low 30s or high 20s, and she carded me. I have only been carded on planes twice, and both were by younger FAs. The older ones never seem to care. I don't know it seems like a weird correlation. She also distributed hot towels and set the cloth napkins on our tray tables. United used to offer a full meal service on this flight, but now it has been reduced to what they call a "snack". This consists of a piece of ham and roast beef, along with some fresh fruit, crackers, and some cheese. It is very good, just not very filling, for this time of day.
I got a refill on my jack and diet as the plates and napkins were being removed. I settled in with the new Artie Lange autobiography for the remainder of the flight. Somewhere around Altoona, PA I feel asleep only to be awakened by the captain making an announcement that we had been put into a hold over Harrisburg due to an emergency at PHL. He said that we could not circle for very long because we did not have enough fuel for this. I was just praying that we would not get diverted, because that just leads to massive delays.
After maybe 15 minutes, the captain announced we had been moved closer to PHL but were now going to be in a hold over Allentown and that was our new diversion point if need be. We did not make it even to Allentown because within 4 minutes the captain said we were diverting to Harrisburg and the flight attendants should prepare for landing. I believe we came down on runway 19 and headed to gate B2 (I think). We landed around 6:46 PM. The captain had no new information about what the deal with PHL was, but said that we would take on fuel and be ready to go as soon as we could.
The captain kept us as informed as he could with constant updates, which was much appreciated. He said that we had a wheels-up time of 8:08 so they would let us off the plane, but we had to be back at 7:40 PM. Now I don't know if you have ever been to MDT but there is not much there. We had bathrooms, a Starbucks, and a small sports bar-type place. I wandered around the terminal a little bit to see what was around. I overhead the gate agent say that 7 US planes had diverted to MDT. I also saw 1 Comair plane from either JFK or BOS that diverted, and 1 Pinnacle plane from MEM I guess? I left my camera on the plane so I took a picture of our plane at the gate on my phone.
Since there wasn't much happening in the terminal, I headed back onto the plane and snapped some pictures of the empty first class cabin and the fuel truck.
Soon the passengers meandered back onto the plane and we prepared for pushback. I overheard the gate agent tell the flight deck that 3 people decided to rent cars and drive to PHL. One woman, when she came back on, demanded to speak to the captain. She asked him how much fuel we were taking on board. The captain replied 13,000 pounds. She asked whether that was enough for us to circle for 3 hours above PHL after we take off. The captain kind of paused and said, "Well, if we take off we are going to land. I am not going to take off if we cannot land." The woman didn't really believe this, but went on her way to her seat. I found this a very interesting exchange and glad the captain handled it in what I thought was a very respectable manor.
At this point, I saw my seatmate's boarding pass and it said Global Service. So I began talking with him about his travel habits and job, etc. It was very interesting to meet someone with that status who was incredibly humble about it. He said it can get very embarrassing at times. For example, in Japan he was about 10th in line for the first class/GS boarding lane. A woman was walking down the line to ensure everyone was in the correct line. She stopped at him and told him he had to go to the front. He said, "No, it's fine, I'm so close, its fine." And she basically ordered him to board first. It sounds great to us minions, but I can see how it could be embarrassing. He also told me a story about his friend who actually got the captain's meal because he did not like what was being offered in business for their ORD-NRT flight. It seems United is more than accommodating for its GS's. The captain also let us know at some point that a plane landed at PHL with the landing gear not extended. He did tell us that no one was hurt though. I later learned that it was an Air Wisconsin CRJ from Norfolk with only 3 crew on board.
We pushed back around 8:05 PM for the taxi to runway 19. I tuned into channel 9 since, for the flights from SNA-ORD and ORD-MDT, it was off. I was happy to hear it was back on. The Pinnacle plane was in front of us under the call sign "flagship", which sounded kind of cool over the airways. We got to the runway and both our flight and the Pinnacle flight were told to shut down our engines. Due to PHL opening back up, there was gridlock with too many flights coming in. Great….
The Purser was really great at this point, offering the passengers in first a drink because who knew how long this delay would be. We got clearance to start up our engines around 8:30 PM, though, and waited for the Pinnacle flight to take off before taking off at 8:40 PM. We got up to 11,000 feet for maybe 20 seconds before beginning our approach into PHL. It was a very quick (about 20 minute) flight, and we landed on 27R at about 9:09 PM -- almost 3 hours late. The line for take offs at 27R had to have been 10-15 planes, with more planes pushing back from the gate. With only 1 runway in use, PHL was truly a mess. I'm glad I was not trying to leave -- it probably took some flights hours to get out of there. I have included the Flight Aware map of our flight just because I found it interesting.
That ends my last flight of 2008 and subsequently the 100th and 101st flight of my life. I have a MR booked for January on United up to SEA, and am trying to work out a long weekend in TPE in February for a wedding. So more TRs in the future planned. Thanks for reading, and happy New Year!

It was a good night in more ways than one for LSU, after it beat TCU, 37-27. While the Tigers were winning, their future foes were losing more than just games.
Next week's opponent, UAB, led by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, 31-17, but Troy rallied to tie the game and go on to win in overtime. UAB's Jamarcus Nelson totaled 367 all-purpose yards to set a school record, and scored on a school-record 97-yard kickoff return.
Meanwhile, LSU's opponent after UAB, Kent State, lost its Heisman candidate wannabe Dri Archer to a leg injury early in a 17-10 win over Liberty. He had 10 yards on 3 carries before leaving the game.
And the fifth and sixth teams on LSU's schedule also lost; No. 5 Georgia, fell to No. 8 Clemson, 38-35, in the weekend's only matchup of Top 10 teams, and Mississippi State lost to No. 13 Oklahoma State, 21-3.
Elsewhere, Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, playing just the second half due to his suspension for signing autographs, taunted Rice players to the point of earning an unsportsmanlike penalty and a seat back on the bench.
In the ho-hum department, the top three teams--Alabama against Virginia Tech, Ohio State vs. Buffalo, and Oregon against Nicholls State, rolled to easy wins by a combined score of 141-37.
Every week, you can see video highlights from SEC games here, and get all of the weekend's scores, recaps, and more here.

Why Europeans Left for the New World
Age of Exploration
a time in history when many explorers from Europe sailed the ocean to faraway and unfamiliar places like Africa and the Americas, in order to learn about them and make a map of the world
people who traveled to new and unfamiliar places in order to learn what these places were like and describe them with words, pictures and maps
a device that determines the distance of an object under water by recording echoes of sound waves
an instrument used by sailors to determine their location by observing the position of the stars and planets
a fruit found by Spanish explorers, they called in "pina de Indias" and later the English added "apple". So it was called pineapple.
Explorers discovered this tall, leafy plant that could be dried and smoked. Many Native Americans and Explorers became addicted to it.

Yuri Izrael
Yuri Antonovich Izrael (Russian: Юрий Антониевич Израэль; 15 May 1930, Tashkent – 23 January 2014, Moscow) was a vice-chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until September 2008, when the new bureau was elected.[1][2] He was the "most influential scientific adviser" for Vladimir Putin, the former president of Russia, according to CNN.[3]
Izrael was former chairman of the Committee for Hydrometeorology. He also served as director of the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology, which is a part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was a first vice-president of the World Meteorological Organization and helped develop the World Weather Watch.[4]
In 1992, Izrael won the International Meteorological Organization Prize and the UNEP Sasakawa Environment Prize for, among other accomplishments, contributing to the "success of Working Group I I" of the IPCC.[4]
Views on the Kyoto Protocol[edit]
Izrael believed the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty aimed at reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, is not scientifically supported and damaging for the Russian economy,[5] stating, "the Kyoto Protocol is overly expensive, ineffective and based on bad science."[3][6]
Views on global warming[edit]
Izrael stated, "climate change is obvious, but science has not yet been able to identify the causes of it,"[7] and, "there is no proven link between human activity and global warming."[8] Which was a statement seemingly made in stark contrast to the IPCC conclusion that "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely [confidence level >90%] due to the observed increase in anthropogenic [human] greenhouse gas concentrations."[9]
Izrael agreed with the IPCC predictions for future climate change, stating, "Global temperatures will likely rise by 1.4-5.8 degrees during the next 100 years. The average increase will be three degrees. I do not think that this threatens mankind. Sea levels, due to rise by 47 cm in the 21st century, will not threaten port cities." He also states, "I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate," and, "There is no need to dramatize the anthropogenic impact, because the climate has always been subject to change under Nature's influence, even when humanity did not even exist."[8] Additionally, he did not believe the 0.6 °C (1.08 °F) rise in temperature observed in the last 100 years is a threat, stating, "there is no scientifically sound evidence of the negative processes that allegedly begin to take place at such temperatures."[8]
Instead of decreasing carbon dioxide, he argued, aerosol injections in to the stratosphere would be a more effective way to mitigate global warming.[10] He appeared to favor adaption over mitigation, arguing, "The people of Bangladesh, who live at sea level, may face problems if the Indian Ocean rises. Still, their resettlement would be much cheaper than projected Kyoto Protocol expenses."[8]
Izrael was chairman of the State Committee on Hydrometeorology (Goskomgidromet) at the time of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Following the accident he was widely criticized for slow and inaccurate monitoring. He was also criticized for allowing air pollution throughout the USSR to reach unprecedented levels.[11] In a 2004 article published in Nature, Quirin Schiermeier and Bryon MacWilliams referred to him as a "fossil communist fighting for fossil fuel."[12]

Put some peanut butter and a little bit of jelly on a whole-wheat cracker.
Freeze some soy yogurt in place of ice cream.
Amazon parrots have a well-deserved reputation for their hearty appetites, often insisting on getting a bite (or two or three!) of whatever their people are eating. And the foods that catch their attention are most often the fattening ones. It is therefore no surprise that obesity is a common concern when it comes to Amazon parrots' health. Here are some ideas for squelching your Amazon's snack-attack fit without the added calories. (Keep in mind, however, that even healthier foods fed too often or in large portions can add on extra calories. Although your Amazon might have a big appetite, keep these offerings to single servings and only as occasional treats.)
1) Deliver this: Instead of stealing bites of your pizza, your Amazon will be better off with a whole-wheat, low-sodium cracker lightly smeared with plain tomato sauce and no cheese! Or make a mini "pizza" for your bird using whole-wheat organic pizza dough without the sauce and cheese.
2) Betcha it can just have one: If your Amazon parrot squeals in excitement at the site of your bowlful of potato chips, let it reach for miniature rice cake, which is not only lower in calories but just as crunchy and fun to munch on.
3) Peanut, peanut butter — (less) Jelly!: If you have young kids in the house, no doubt your Amazon parrot has tried to pilfer bites of peanut butter and jelly sandwich from them. Too much bread (high in carbs) and jelly (high in sugar) can be too much of a good thing, so go small. Substitute with a whole-wheat, low-sodium cracker lightly smeared in peanut butter and drop of jelly or, better yet, top with a piece of fresh fruit like strawberry or blueberry.
4) I scream, your Amazon screams for ice cream: Birds are lactose intolerant, so dairy products should not be on their menu. That's easier said than done when your Amazon does his "pick me up" wing flutter as you serve yourself a scoop of ice cream. Make him think he's scored some by substituting lactose-free, organic yogurt (soy yogurt), which you can freeze if he likes the ice texture. You can even make him little yogurt ice pops by pouring some soy yogurt in an ice-cube tray and placing a wooden coffee stir in the middle. When it freezes, your Amazon will have an edible foot toy!

Death Notification Letter
A death notification letter is written to inform the family member of the deceased about his/her death. The need to write a death letter is more prominent when a close relative or a friend of yours is staying in some country and not in touch with you. However, considering the importance of the message, you have to inform them. The letter should be written immediately after the death so that the recipient could make an arrangement to pay their last respect to the person who has died. If it is impossible for them to visit the funeral, they can at least send their condolences to the family.
When you are writing the letter to inform about a death in your family, you can express it in your own way. There is no book that can teach you how to write a death notification letter. Besides, who would like to read it, even it is written. It can be written both formally and informally. If you are writing it to your superior, you have to choose the former one. To notify a friend, colleague or a relative, you can write the later way depending upon your relationship with the reader and theirs with the deceased. You can hand-write the letter and get it typed. However, it should be short and brief and include nothing more than announcement, and the funeral arrangements. If you want you can add few words about the deceased.
Here is a sample of a death notification letter written to a distant relative informing about passing of grandfather.
Ricky Tyler
124 East 50th Street
New York, NY 10124
25 May, 2011
Jake Denning
Any Street, Any Apt.
Some City, UK 24510
Dear Jake,
Never ever have I though that someday I will have to write this type of letter. But now when the time has finally arrived, I am writing to inform you that Grandpa Harris has breathed his last on Sunday, 22 May, 2011. He had been suffering from kidney failure that was aggravated due to his acute diabetic conditions. His condition was so critical that he had to attain dialysis every alternate day. Anyway, he had given a good fight to the problem and was hospitalized for 20 days.
You can take consolation in knowing that the mayor of the city had felicitated him for his voluntary work just a month before he died. Further, he spent his last two days with all our family members and was very happy to see them all.
We have arranged his funeral at St. Thomas Church where he had a regular member since his childhood. He will be laid to rest next to Aunt Sarah's tomb as he loved his daughter very much. We understand that it is impossible for you to attend the funeral from such a distant. As a last respect to grandpa, we are expecting some donation from you, which will be contributed toward the extension work of the church. If you wish to donate, I have enclosed the detail about the church work with this letter.
I really feel sorry to convey this sad news to you. Maybe, next time when I write to you, I will share some good moments with you, if God so wished.
With love,
Though nobody likes to write a death notification letter, we have to face a situation when eluding from writing it is next to impossible. This sample letter could perhaps help you to write one.

Almost a year after her acquittal in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, Casey Anthony is living life in seclusion, rarely venturing out for fear she will be recognized. But perhaps the strangest thing about her life now is the macabre memento that Anthony, 26, keeps around her neck.
Late last year Anthony reconciled with her mother Cindy, who recently sent Casey a gift – a necklace containing Caylee's ashes.
According to several sources close to both women, Cindy wears an identical necklace herself. "Casey told me it was the way the Anthony women would be together forever," a friend of Casey tells PEOPLE.
Since walking out of jail on July 17, 2011, Anthony has moved around Florida, now settling in the West Palm Beach area. Spending most of her days online, Anthony has put on about 20 pounds, according to the friend.
In an interview with Piers Morgan last month, Anthony maintained that she did not kill her daughter, and that she has been misunderstood.
One person who isn't buying it: attorney Jeff Ashton, who prosecuted the case against Casey. "I'm I'm not going to get all weepy at the thought of Casey not being able to go out and party," he tells PEOPLE. "She brought it all upon herself, and she has to live with it – which is incidentally a luxury that Caylee will never get."

Good morning officer, it's nice to see you
Written by:
Police Officer Brian Geer
14th District
I've ridden in a car and patrolled every corner of the 14th District. From Chestnut Hill to Brickyard, from West Mount Airy to West Oak Lane. I've cruised Forbidden Drive, Germantown Avenue, Chew Avenue, Stenton Avenue, and Ogontz Avenue. Been to Jazz Festivals, Mount Airy Day, and Chestnut Hill Day. All these places and things are memorable but they're not what I've come to enjoy about the 14th district.
It wasn't until I set out on bike patrol that I started to notice what's really special about the 14th district. You could say I learned to stop and smell the roses. One morning, while riding down a street in Germantown, I heard someone say, "Good morning officer, it's nice to see you." My first reaction was something along the lines of disbelief. Was that a pleasant greeting I just heard? I looked over to see a woman standing by the curb with a broom in her hand waving to me. My natural instincts took over, I smiled, waved back, and said, "good morning." It felt so good. I continued down the street, turned a corner, rode about two more blocks, and it happened again, "good morning officer." Again I felt warm inside as I smiled and returned the greeting. This was when I realized what I was missing while riding in a patrol car through the streets of the 14th. While it was nice to drive down the streets of historic Germantown, a place where George Washington stayed, the Battle of Germantown was fought on what was then called Main Street (now Germantown Avenue), and where the first Bible was published in America, what I was missing was the opportunity to enjoy the real gems of the 14th District, the people.
A typical day starts off with a deluge of greetings and well wishes—the woman sweeping on the 300 block of East Phil Ellena Street, to the person getting the coffee at 5301 Chew Avenue, and the man waiting for the bus on Germantown Avenue. I had a fantastic conversation the other day, with a man named Joe, on the 500 block of East Penn Street. Joe was telling me how he grew up at Ashmead and Clarkson Streets, moved out in the 70s and moved back after 25 years. Joe said that the neighborhood has had some noticeable changes, such as where Penn Street once went straight through to Chew Avenue, is now where Germantown Hospital stands. Something that hasn't changed, though, is that no matter where you turn in this diverse neighborhood, there are great people around every corner. I have the privilege of getting to serve the communities of the 14th, something I will never take for granted.

Stupid shit that dumb ignorant "hood" niggas do because they're mad at the world or what ever the retarded reason is. The mean mugger tries to intimidate you by looking "hard" and looking at you like your crazy, when in fact they're the one with the issues. The mugg or the retard staring at you is supposed to condone (cause) a fight, when actually they won't do shit because they are too scared or just trying to look good in front of their friends. The best thing to do is ignore them and keep it pushin' because most likely the muthafucka(s) can't even read at a 2nd grade level and probably is just getting off probation.
Oh look! That group of morons standing by the liquor store are mean muggin' me, I'm not even going to pay attention to them because I know their lives ain't worth dog shit and they probably are about to go to jail because they're five payments behind on their child support.

To the Editor In their Research Letter testing the hypothesis of an association between diuretic use and elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in adults with normal renal function, Corapi et al1 state that their findings demonstrate that loop use is associated with higher PTH level, even after adjustment for potential confounders. Of note, the authors did not include blood pressure as a covariate in their multivariable model. Although heart failure—included in the multivariable analysis—is one of its main indications, loop diuretics are not exclusively used for this condition and have been shown to achieve a good response as combination therapy in patients with resistant hypertension.2 Moreover, a history of hypertension is common in patients with heart failure, especially in those with preserved left ventricular systolic function.2
