Intraocular spread of Acanthamoeba after keratitis is rare, being previously documented and microbiologically confirmed in 1 case of chorioretinitis1 and 1 case of endophthalmitis.2 Both occurred several months following penetrating keratoplasty (PK), were initially treated as suspected sterile inflammations, did not receive specific oral or intraocular treatment for Acanthamoeba, and finally required evisceration.
We report the first documented case, to our knowledge, of successful management of intraocular Acanthamoeba dissemination. Intraocular and systemic treatment was monitored through microbiological testing and polymerase chain reaction analysis of serial aqueous taps.
A 56-year-old man with Acanthamoeba keratitis and keratoconus underwent tectonic PK to treat keratitis that was unresponsive to chlorhexidine gluconate and eventually resulted in corneal perforation. Treatment after PK included topical chlorhexidine, moxifloxacin, cyclopentolate hydrochloride, and dexamethasone sodium phosphate as well as oral prednisolone (60 mg once daily) and tacrolimus (1 mg twice daily).
Five days after surgery, the patient reported blurred vision. The graft showed inferior edema, Descemet folds, mutton-fat keratic precipitates, and 4+ cells in the anterior chamber (AC) with a hypopyon (Figure 1A). Taps of the AC were taken and intravitreal vancomycin hydrochloride and ceftazidime were administered. Also, 100 μL of 1-μg/μL voriconazole solution was injected in the vitreous and AC owing to suspected Acanthamoeba dissemination. The AC tap result was positive for T4 Acanthamoeba by culture and polymerase chain reaction.3 Direct microscopical examination of an aliquot of the aqueous sample previously homogenized by gentle inversion showed 104 trophozoites/mL using a Coulter Z automatic cell counter and 90% viability as assessed using trypan blue dye exclusion.3 The voriconazole sensitivity test showed mean (SD) 90% inhibitory concentrations3 of 10.63 (0.46) μg/mL for cysts and 11.28 (0.32) μg/mL for trophozoites. Oral immunosuppression was stopped and treatment with topical voriconazole, 1%, oral voriconazole (200 mg twice daily), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (800/160 mg twice daily) was started.
Figure 1. Anterior segment photograph of the patient's right eye 5 days after the therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty shows perikeratic hyperemia, corneal edema with Descemet folds, and mutton-fat keratic precipitates (A), and slitlamp examination after clinical resolution shows early signs of graft failure and pigmented keratic precipitates (B).
The clinical picture worsened during the next 3 days, then improved until clinical resolution 1 month after onset. Ocular echography ruled out vitreous involvement during follow-up. Second and third AC taps followed by voriconazole intraocular injection were performed at days 4 and 11 following the first tap; both were cultured and were positive for Acanthamoeba by polymerase chain reaction. A fourth tap without voriconazole injection confirmed microbiological cure at day 31 on culture and polymerase chain reaction analysis. Figure 2 shows the AC total and viable Acanthamoeba concentrations during follow-up.
Figure 2. Evolution of total and viable Acanthamoeba concentrations in an aliquot of anterior chamber during follow-up until resolution.
The patient's maintenance regimen has been topical chlorhexidine, 0.02%, and voriconazole, 1%, 4 times daily with 200 mg of oral voriconazole twice daily for the last 6 months, without recurrence (Figure 1B). The corneal graft shows early signs of failure, and Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty plus phacoemulsification is planned once clinical remission reaches 12 months.
We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a successful outcome in a patient with microbiological evidence of intraocular dissemination of Acanthamoeba. We believe success was based on 3 points that were not emphasized in previously reported cases: (1) early diagnosis; (2) successful combination of topical, oral, and intraocular therapy with drugs that can reach therapeutic levels in aqueous and vitreous4,5 and are effective in vivo6 for other Acanthamoeba infections; and (3) guiding treatment by effective monitoring of the response by Acanthamoeba.
We think oral and topical administration of voriconazole must have achieved a sustained therapeutic dose and frequent administration of intraocular voriconazole produced high peak levels, increasing effectiveness. Topical chlorhexidine was used before the PK but the keratitis worsened, raising the question of its effectiveness in our patient. It is unknown whether topical chlorhexidine can reach aqueous therapeutic levels; however, rabbit studies have shown that frequent instillation of chlorhexidine, 0.02%, in epithelialized corneas7 produces concentrations 10 to 40 times lower than voriconazole but, in our experience, a similar 90% inhibitory concentration. Moreover, in the other described cases, topical antiseptics such as chlorhexidine used after PK did not prevent endophthalmitis. Therefore, we believe chlorhexidine did not play a major role in our case. The susceptibility of Acanthamoeba to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, also used in our patient, is based on a few reports8; we have not tested the susceptibility of the patient's strain and cannot be sure of its real contribution.

How to configure IIS for my application?
Hi All,
I am new to the Azure environment. I have a flex application, which is hosted on Azure. the applications needs to run PHP scripts on IIS to upload to the blobs.
1. We have created a web cgi role. Added php scripts and flex files to it.
2. Deployed this on Azure.
This application seems to work fine from the hosted site, but I figured that it is referring to the IIS and PHP on my local development machine.
Hence, the IIS capabilities fail on machines of other users.
I want to understand do I need to make any necessary config changes to get the application to use the remote IIS?

Hi RG1967,
You said your flex application which is hosted on Azure is referring to the IIS and PHP on my local development machine.
How did you know it is referring to the IIS and PHP on my local development machine?
If the web role contains both the flex application and PHP scripts, once the web role is deployed on Azure, the flex application will be referring to the web role on Azure. I'd suggest you check the source code of the flex application and find out which address is actually being referred.

It can also be useful (as a testing / debugging tool) to enable RDP on the Role.
You can then log into the machine, look at the configuration on the azure-hosted environment to try and diagnose what's going on.
We often find that it's a quick way to identify the problem, correct if whilst RDP'd into the box making notes of what you change to make it work.
Once you have solved it you can then make the changes in your package and redeploy it to check it works with the automated deployment etc.
Hope this helps.

I used it for a couple of months as a part of the Buhner protocol for lyme disease. Hard to say which herb helps most but I'm making progress. Recently switched to Planetary Herbals andrographis - costs the same for 30 tablets more - but if you don't like bitter pills or plan to give this to your child I'd definitely stick with Now Foods as they're in a capsule form and easier to swallow, the taste is much more bearable as well. Buhner was right, andrographis is an exceptionally bitter herb.

Heavier weights or for longer duration?
LG overall worked great for me, and it took a long time to learn to lift fasted, but part of me just wants to see if I will be able to lift more if I eat before the workouts... Will eating on the 3 lifting days screw up with the hunger control the LG gives on the other 4 days of the week? Does eating before-hand really makes any difference?

Heavier weights or for longer duration?
I've wonderd this myself as I've been lifting fasted for several months now (maybe a year?). I don't think you have to ditch LG to do this. One of Martin's protocols (I think it's actually the one he recommends to people with flexible schedules so maybe the one he considers most ideal) has a small pre-workout meal: The Leangains Guide | Intermittent fasting diet for fat loss, muscle gain and health
I think fasted training is maybe more targeted for fat loss, though I think you could lose or gain weight with any of the protocols depending on your overall food intake.
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

Unfortunately, I can't do flexible schedules A big dinner is a must for me, or I wake up early, starved, and I have to lift 1st thing in the morning to have an access to the equipment & have my life on rails! My weekend workout that is 1.5 hour later than the weekday (gym opens later) is weaker imo (longer fast?)
My workouts always clock around 50 min - 1 hr, with 3 lifts and ~ 10 min minutes of support in the end. I do not want to go longer. I would like to lift heavier, because I have been stalling for a while around decent but not impressive numbers. There are a few lifts I really would like to see myself to get.
I know that an isolate shake (~ 75 cals) did not charge me up much. Will a couple of eggs before setting out be a good start?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I don't notice a huge difference between a morning workout after an overnight fast, or an afternoon workout after a much shorter "fast". I think mentally, I like later workouts, but that's probably got a lot to do with the fact that mornings suck.
Yeah, I guess I see the dilemma. You can't really have 14 hours of fasting if you break your fast pre-workout early in the morning and eat dinner at your normal time. Could you eat dinner earlier in the day? I'm not sure what to recommend exactly. I know that the Leangains protocols generally have the post-workout meal as soon after training as possible and Martin recommends taking BCAA every other hour after training if you aren't eating a meal.
I can't workout fasted. I always workout between 4-5pm. I follow the "one pre workout meal" guidelines of leangains and it works beautifully.
I have to admitt, it always boggled my mind that individuals would train fasted when, originally, the protocol was for afternoon workouts. It was later adapted for those who, for whatever reason, have to workout in the morning. And even then, it's not supposed to be fasted, you are supposed to take BCAA prior to working out and afterwards.
Also, IF isn't magic. The way you have your workouts structured you could easily do a "regular meals" (breakfast, lunch, supper) set up with you carbs at breakfast after your workout, and tapered as the day goes on.

Unfortunately, no, mainly because I do not sleep well if I am not full, but also it is a family meal that I cook and eat with my folks after a day at work.Could you eat dinner earlier in the day?
My fear with 3 regural meals is that I tend to not be able to stop eating when I start eating early in the day, I just keep getting hungrier and hungrier. LG fixed that problem. The only way I can see it working is a 4 am breakfast, no lunch and 6-8 pm dinner, but it is HARD to fast through the day!

NEW YORK — There's no disgrace in this, and if there's a 19-year-old in the world who can transform such a horrid cliché into both a life lesson and a tennis dogma, it is Christina McHale.
She didn't let anyone down tonight. We're not talking about the tennis — that was actually a disappointment, because she's capable of better, and everyone encircling the cauldron of Arthur Ashe Stadium knew it.
No, this was more about her reaction to it, which was precisely what you've come to expect from this kid, who believes in demonstrating the same maturity and equanimity in victory and defeat.
"Right now I'm disappointed in the way I played," McHale said, after Maria Kirilenko delivered an impressive 6-2, 6-3 knockout of her U.S. Open dreams tonight. "But it's the first time I made it to third round of a Grand Slam, so, yeah, I'll just take the positives from it.
"And I'm going to continue to work really hard to hopefully put myself in more positions like this."
Platitudes, you say. Get a grip, we say. It's hard enough that we make these kids grow up in public; they deserve a lot of credit when they take the biggest disappointment of their lives with uncommon class.
Or at least the kind we don't normally associate with tennis players.
So September rolled in like a Russian winter tonight. There was a drop in temperature, and the wind whipped both players. But mostly, there was Kirilenko, blasting shots that had the Englewood Cliffs teen on her heels all night.
It isn't the way the crowd wanted it to go, but this was inevitable — it was clear from the first few games, when the gap in refinement came across with great clarity.
But kids do grow up, and this kid with a racket of thunder took a giant step toward becoming a top-30 player (someday), winning people over with every elegant stroke.
Kirilenko, a top-20 player once who is going to be a top-20 player again soon, understands.
"The first tournament I played in was the U.S. Open (in 2003), after I won the Junior U.S. Open," the relentless Muscovite said. "And I also won two rounds. We were playing the third round in the Grandstand, but I remember this feeling — how nervous I was, how difficult it was to play.
"And I know she had a lot of pressure on her tonight."
It wasn't pressure that ended McHale's Open, however. It was the fact that she ran into a superior player who didn't surrender her control of the evening, from first serve to match point. Her opponent was bigger, stronger, more experienced, and very desperate to get out of the third round, which was Kirilenko's departure point in four of her last five Opens.
And though Kirilenko's Grand Slam history is undistinguished — her biggest achievement was reaching the quarters of the 2010 Australian — she gave McHale a tennis lesson she'll never forget.
"I think I'm closer than I was in the past," to Kirilenko's level, which is a No. 25 ranking, McHale said. "But I still think that I have things to work on before I can reach that next level."
She can start by going to school on what everyone saw tonight.
Kirilenko's game was as meticulously choreographed as a North Korean missile parade. She was the more aggressive of the two, sharper with her ground strokes, more willing to slug for longer rallies because of her rocket forehand, and nearly perfect at the net, where she won 14 points in the 16 times she attacked it in the first set, when she broke McHale twice.
Two days earlier, McHale had upset No. 8 seed Marion Bartoli by attacking her when the opportunity arose. This time, "I was too passive," she said. "The other day I took my chances when I had them. But (Kirilenko) was playing well, too, so it made it difficult today."
They were on serve for the first seven games of the second set, when McHale seemingly caught a huge break, as Kirilenko summoned the trainer to deal with a leg cramp during the crossover. That struck everyone as a bit strange: The match was barely an hour old, it was chilly, and this Energizer Bunny running on eight C-cells has leg cramps?
If ever there was the time to pounce ...
But McHale let it go by.
It was a lapse in concentration that she hadn't yet shown in this tournament.
"I still feel like she was hitting the ball fine, she was moving fine," McHale said, ignoring the moon shots Kirilenko used to buy some time. "So it wasn't something I was thinking about."
Serving the eighth game, with Kirilenko shaking her leg in between points, McHale double-faulted for deuce, and then lost the next two points to give the Russian a break and a 5-3 lead.
"That game was crucial," McHale conceded. "If I had won it, it would have been 4-all and who knows what could have happened."
Kirilenko's pain no longer mattered: She gained strength from McHale's inability to seize the set, and then served out the match with ease.
A lesson learned, perhaps. Maybe McHale doesn't strike you as the type who has a nasty streak and a killer instinct, and maybe in the long run that lengthens her journey to the next level.
But one step at a time. A third round at the U.S. Open is something nobody had a right to expect, even if she was the only player who got to commute to work this week.
The match of her life was also the disappointment of her career. Good thing she has 15 more years to learn from it.

Your mailman and the old lady who died alone
If we don't rethink our strategy, the community will no longer support Saturday delivery, because we did not support them when they asked for our help.
Fast food strikers teach some important lessons
In New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and other major cities - most recently, Seattle - workers have demanded "$15 and a union."
Letter from the heartland: Getting rid of blue votes
his week we got news that the way we vote here in rural Tennessee has been changed dramatically.

Since June 2009, Hudson County residents have been reading about political corruption, so it is a no-brainer that council members should do everything to rise above any conflict or appearance of conflict. Unfortunately, not every council member agrees with me.
At the June 20 council meeting in Jersey City, I told Councilwoman Kalimah Ahmad and the rest of the body that it was inappropriate for Councilwoman Ahmad to vote on any abatements since her web site states she does redevelopment work (commercial, market, affordable housing, enterprise zones, abatements, permits, etc.). In addition, Councilwoman Ahmad was appointed by Mayor Healy to the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency.
Abatements are nothing new, however, some council members like to say they like to look at an abatements based on its "merits." This logic is lost if your business is redevelopment and you're on a JC Redevelopment Agency; therefore you will vote on all abatements because it reflects your business.
In the past, Councilman Fulop complained about former Councilwoman Willie Flood and her son who worked as her aide. He felt it was inappropriate, I believe this is worse.
If Jersey City wants to clean up its image, then Councilwoman Ahmad must not vote on any future abatements.

So, here's my new 'do. And it probably doesn't look all that new to anyone but me. It's still long even though I came thisclose to chopping it all off. I'm just not ready. It is a lot lighter, which I like. It was like an instant tan. I've been pretty pasty lately.
I have a new plan, though- I am going to grow out my bangs and get a much shorter, stylish look in the near future.
And I know it's just hair, but you know what?
I care about stuff like that. I do.
I care about how I look and I want to have nice hair. It makes me feel good, when I look good.
I like to feel beautiful.
Why does this feel like a confession? Isn't it ok to want to feel and look beautiful?
And that doesn't mean I always have to be all dolled up, - most times it does take how I feel on the inside to shine thru on the outside, but lots of times? It's because I feel good in the clothes I'm wearing or I'm having a good hair day or did my eye makeup just right.
Lots of outward beauty stuff.
And truly, I don't think I'm a very pretty (on the outside) person. I have never been a "natural beauty", I don't usually like photos of me, and I don't even really like the photo I finally posted here.
I want to be pretty for my husband, and when out in public, and for my kids, and when I pass a mirror in my house.
I know these things shouldn't matter. But they do. To me.
I'm 33 years old and secretly want to get my nose pierced. [A teensy weensy tiny speck of a nose piercing], but I'm 33 years old and think I'm past the expiration date on that one. If you have one already, you're grandfathered in (I think that's how it works?) But for me to go get it done now? Aren't I a bit too old for that? I'm still not convinced.
I have new hair. And it makes me feel pretty.

Bukti keberadaan manusia pertama Adam dan Hawa plus Lilith, si istri pertama yg minggat tidak bisa dipisahkan dengen keberadaan raksasa (giant) yg banyak berkeliaran di bumi ini sebelum terjadinya banjir Noah hehehe…
Raksasa ini keturunan Nephelin yg disebutkan dalam Bible Genesis 6:1-6
1When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will not contend witha humans forever, for they are mortalb ; their days will be a hundred and twenty years."
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7So the Lord said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them." 8But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Banyak informasi tentang raksasa Nephelin ini, tapi sayang di banned di Bible, "ajaran sesat" begitu kata otoritas waktu itu hehehe… misalnya di The book of Enoch. Yg beken di bible dan masih adsa yaitu cerita si raksasa Goliath yg di katapel oleh David hahaha..
Banyak penemuan arkeologi tengkorak dan tulang belulang raksasa, tapi sayang dianggap hoax oleh main stream Archeology karena dianggap tidak cocok, tidak mendukung Theori Darwin
Bagi anda yang punya anak balita tentunya pernah juga ikut nonton film animasi serian Shrek yang cerita aslinya hasil dari karangan William Steig. Gambranay terlampir
Imaginasi William ini di tuangkan dalam buku yang berjudul The One and Only Shrek,
yang kemudian di filmkan oleh Hollywoodproducer John Williams, Dreamworks Animation's
Shrek is a computer-animated adaptation of William Steig's delightfully fractured fairy tale. Our title character (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. When the diminutive Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy tale creatures (including the now-famous Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio and the Gingerbread Man), they settle in the ogre's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal, a talking donkey (Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess (Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence.
Abis nonton Shrek langsungan saya bilang ke istri, "si Shrek itu kalau diIndonesiakhan namanya si Buta ( baca: buto) Ijo, itu lho dalam cerita kanak kanak Timun Emas Eh si timun emas ini diambil angkat oleh Nenek Sirni. Pada suatu hari, Buto Ijo yang senengnya makannya sayur dan buah buah ngejar si Timum emas..he he..he, yang lari ketakutan setengah mati ha ha ha…., takut abis mau dimakan ama si buto ijo….
Aneh lho, karena dalam cerita legenda Inggris ada juga boto ijo , yang oleh mereka disebut <b>ogre</b> dan percaya atau tidak, di Rosslyn Chapel- Edinburgh penuh didekorasi dengan lebih dari seratus patung dan relief buto ijo!… The green man….there are dragons, devils and 100 Green Men. Saya sampai kaget setengah mati, waktu sempat berkunjung ke chapel itu beberapa tahun yang lalu. Jelas sekali, patung kepala buto ijo alias , the green ogre dikalungi dengan dedaunaan dan buah buahan. Foto disebelah terlampir.
Nama Roslyn Chapel di Edinburg ini mencuat gara gara disebut sebut dalam bukunya Dan Brown sebagai bekas markas besarnya The Knights Templar, sipengawal the Holy Grail, bukunya berjudul Da Vinci Code. The Knights Templar had designed Rosslyn Chapel as an exact architectural blueprint of Solomon'sTempleinJerusalem
Buto ijo Ogre juga ada dalam film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone. Si raksasa ijo kalah gara gara matanya ditusuk oleh tongkat ajaib di Harry he he he..

(Genesis 6:4) "There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (Fallen Angels) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men (Nephilim) which were of old, men of renown."
(Jude 1:6-7) "And the angels (who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling), he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, (which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire), serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
(Numbers 13:31-33) "But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." And they gave the children ofIsraela bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and (we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight)."
(Amos 2:9) "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, (Whose height was like the height of the CEDARS), And he was as strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit above And his roots beneath"

The man who played Tarzan in several films has been arrested in Florida after state wildlife officers seize two tigers and a leopard from his home.
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers said Steve Sipek, a Croatian native who lives in Loxahatchee, Fla., didn't have the necessary permits to keep the exotic animals, West Palm Beach TV station WPBF reported.
Sipek said he feels he's being targeted by wildlife officials.
He said he's being treated "like I'm a criminal," even though he said he's paid his insurance so as not to break the law.
"I have an animal that needs help right now," Sipek told WPBF. "She needs medication twice a day and they took her away from me now. Who's going to take care of her now? Who? Who's going to do it?"
Authorities said there had been repeated failure to correct violations, including multiple bites and escapes, fencing and caging deficiencies, and feeding animals an improper diet.
The animals were taken to a sanctuary in central Florida.
Sipek starred as the title character in several Tarzan movies through 1972. He made headlines in 2004 after one of his tigers escaped from his property and was shot to death.

No se escatimaron gastos en la restauración de esta joya de la arquitectura de la reina Anne. ¿Qué mejor manera de visitar el Finger Lakes Wine Region que por su estancia en este Historic Bed & Breakfast! Propietario Gary M. Smith, Profesor de Dirección Hotelera en Keuka College, asistirá a cada detalle. Elegante 1891 Queen Anne victoriano situado en el centro histórico. Siete espaciosas habitaciones para huéspedes con baño privado, incluyendo una suite y casa de huéspedes adyacente. La cálida hospitalidad, mobiliario de época y un desayuno gourmet completo esperan su llegada.

We recently stayed at Trimmer House for a 5 day vacation in the Fingerlakes. Yang and Gary were gracious hosts who ensured we were very comfortable (and well fed!) throughout our stay. Their local knowledge helped us find some gems of places to visit that we would otherwise not have known about. And the house is beautiful. Thoroughly recommend.

This is an immaculate property. The home has been restored beautifully. Attention to detail in addressing guests comfort was just amazing. Breakfast was served at 8:30 but coffee/tea was available at 7:30am. Buffet breakfast included a frittata, pancakes, bacon, fruit and scone. Very good and quite filling. Off street parking is available. We only stayed the one night but would strongly recommend to others. It also has a great front porch to relax on. While we normally stay in Watkins Glenn during our visits to the Finger Lakes, this is a very short drive away and well worth it in comparison to the BB's in Watkins Glenn.

This was our first B+B experience. It was great, we will be back! We stayed during the week due to our anniversary date, next time we are going to try a weekend so we can meet other guest! Our hosts were more than accommodating.

We have been here several times over the last few years, and are looking forward to a 2015 trip. Gary and Yang are great hosts and provide each guest with a beautiful home during their stay. Incredibly friendly and helpful with tips on the area. Great location and immaculate home! I can't say enough about the Trimmer House B and B, I'm so happy we discovered it for our wineries trips!!

There were five of us on a Finger Lakes early May hiking/site-seeing tour, and we had a wonderful stay for 3 days and nights. The meals, the rooms, Gary's (the innkeeper), knowledge of the area, the front porch, and the setting were all great. In fact, I will be returning. People from the city would be attracted to the comforts, the porches, the peacefulness and security, etc. Gary and Yang do a fantastic job!

We were not sure of our arrival time in town and when we drove that evening and called around, the proprietor welcomed us and said she would be right there to let us in and get settled. From the moment we walked in she showed us their home; took care of us and made us quite at home. We loved our upstairs suite; very warm, quiet, cozy, claw foot tub; lovely and comfortable (comfortable cotton robes and slippers). She checked with us to ensure we had the breakfast we needed before we headed out by bicycle. She also helped us with a good safe place for our bike. Breakfast was complete and delicious. Beverages were always available; small refrigerator available too. We were so tired from our ride by the time we arrived she helped us with a recommendation for take out and provided us dinner ware to eat. We really enjoyed the segment of the house on 'If Walls could talk' which we watched on DVD with a movie from their great dvd collection. The Trimmer was easy to find and in a lovely part of town; beautiful inside and out with special touches like fresh flowers. Parking is convenient in the extra large driveway and place for bicycle. She was knowledgeable about the history of the house and area and excited to help guests. She was genuine in her desire to provide a wonderful guest experience. She asked us what we'd like for breakfast and provided a terrific meal. We would definitely stay again.

The owner stated that she doesn't usually accept gift cards for the Keuka Room. This is not mentioned in any literature. She also complained that the charges from B&B.COM were very high. Another couple at breakfast also mentioned that she made the same comment to them when they paid by gift card. If she has trouble with the charges, she should not mention to paying clients.

The restoration of the property has been done exceptionally well. The rooms are beautiful. We would definitely stay again.

Trimmer House was the perfect romantic escape. An ideal location in wine country, Trimmer House was clean, comfortable and charming. A hearty breakfast was included plus lots of unexpected amenities like WIFI, a hot tub and free movies. The innkeepers were friendly and helpful. The other guests were repeat visitors so that says alot. Great restaurants were just two blocks away.

January 20, 2009
George Friedman is a political scientist, prolific author and head of a private US intelligence agency named Stratfor. He is usually worth reading, even when events do not bear out his predictions. This is an extract from his review of the problems immediately facing President Obama:
"The major challenge he faces is not Gaza: the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is not one any US. president intervenes in unless he wants to experience pain. As we have explained, that is an intractable conflict to which there is no real solution. Certainly, Obama will fight being drawn into mediating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during his first hundred days in office. He undoubtedly will send the obligatory Middle East envoy, who will spend time with all the parties, make suitable speeches and extract meaningless concessions from all sides. This envoy will establish some sort of process to which everyone will cynically commit, knowing it will go nowhere. Such a mission is not involvement — it is the alternative to involvement, and the reason presidents appoint Middle East envoys. Obama can avoid the Gaza crisis and he will do so."

A glimpse of Max's speed training that @coachtomz posted on Jul 25:
World class training: 2013 US Champion and twice USA World Team member Max Aaron finishes his laps at the end of the session in the power chute. He feels the need...the need for speed!
http://instagram.com/p/q4zRV6DY6_/ (video)
A bit regarding Max's work on the quad loop:
As of the end of May, @mkblades' self-promotional comments on Instagram cited a rumor that Max "is now landing quad loops" (as a "result" of switching to a certain type of its blades).

(Cross-posting all of the above from the Max thread in The Edge.)
ETA, off-ice photo of Max at the Colorado Championships:
Comparing Triple Lutz Technique Lutz Analysis (Trevor Laak)
Trevor Laak provides a computer analysis of 3 different triple lutz jumps. The skaters performing the jumps are Ryan Bradley, Brandon Mroz, and Max Aaron who were on a practice session at the 2013 Grassroots to Champions Supercamp in July/August of 2013.
The total length of the video is 15:50.
Analysis of Max's lutz begins at approx 4:45. Reprise of his lutz (incl. slo-mo) begins at approx 15:15.
Thx to SkateFiguring for the alert that for a limited time, this video and others are available at no cost.
^thank you Golden411 and Skatefiguring
Aside: He speaks about Max's lower body air position not being as tight as it could be. I wonder if that might also be partly because of the size of his thighs? Larger thighs would create the bigger gap between his shins/calves. Whereas you look at some of the other US men, they have slimmer thighs (though still muscular, I am sure!) and achieve that tighter, cleaner look.
Good thing about figure skating: it welcomes all body types.
EDITED to add: Interesting that Brandon shows a little bit of that twisted/tilted body air position that gives me the heebie jeebies so much. I wonder where it comes from?
#ALSicebucketchallenge accepted and I will donate! Thank you for all the nominations! Make sure to donate! I nominate @EvanLysacek @UrijahFaber and @KingJames !! Lego Boys!

Max Aaron and Mirai Nagasu helped Tom Z formally take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge :
Gonna give Tom Z a round of applause for effort on that one. Also, A+ use of Zamboni.
. . . so any trace of his Footloose short yet?
In honor of this year's Champs Camp, which started today, a throwback video about last year's Champs Camp that includes b-roll of Max on the ice:
Champs Camp: Where Olympic champions are made
Champs Camp is an annual conference attended by U.S. Figure Skating athletes in order to prepare them for the upcoming season. (2:58 in length)
(This video is new to me, although USA Today posted it in Feb 2014 as a Sochi-related story. The video originally is from KUSA.)
(BTW, bittersweet to see a lot of Zawadzki footage in this piece. )
Thanks for the video, golden411!
I actually spent a lot of time arguing with the guy they were interviewing. He was trying to make out like Champs Camp is always right and the skaters are wrong for arguing against what the officials say. But if Jason had listened to the officials at all, we would not have seen a cult ponytail, nor would we have seen the splendour that was Riverdance.
And for goodness' sake, they're talking hair, and no-one told Max the mop top was not a good look?
As to an example of Max's awful mop-top, just look at any picture of him between last Champs Camp and this one. The short sides, but the long curls on top - it looked awful. IMO. It made his hair look really greasy and unwashed. I much preferred his haircut circa his National title.

Team Ryco rockets past competition
81-61 championship game is league's first
One of the Marquette Golden Eagles' most versatile players the past two seasons, Jimmy Butler, displayed some coaching chops as well Sunday night.
Inserting himself back into the lineup after being sidelined the past few weeks with a fractured finger, the senior forward put up 16 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out four assists to lead Team Ryco past Team Hodan, Doster & Ganzer, 81-61, in the championship game of the Milwaukee Summer Pro-Am at the Al McGuire Center.
The eight-team league, in its first year of existence, played an eight-game schedule that featured current and former college players from the area.
"I've got bragging rights for the rest of the summer," Butler said with a laugh. "I've got until about Sept. 1 to text everybody to let them know we won the tournament, get the picture up on Facebook. You know how it goes."
Butler also relied heavily upon a pair of newcomers to the Golden Eagles, freshman Vander Blue and sophomore walk-on Dave Singleton, to get the job done.
Blue, a product of Madison Memorial, had 14 points and five rebounds. Singleton, who played the past two seasons at Division I High Point and transferred to MU earlier in the summer, chipped in with 12 points and seven boards as Ryco's overall balance was too much for Hodan, Doster & Ganzer to overcome.
Former UW-Milwaukee guard Avery Smith also scored 16 points for Ryco, tying Butler for the game high.
A big third quarter by Ryco proved to be the difference, as it broke open a 34-29 game at halftime to go up by 15 points heading into the fourth quarter. Hodan, Doster & Ganzer, led by Pro-Am most valuable player Junior Cadougan, was unable to muster any sort of answer and faded down the stretch as the challenge of two games in just a few hours' time took its toll.
Former Milwaukee King standout Dupree Fletcher scored 14 points, as did Rodney Jones. Cadougan and former Wisconsin Badgers walk-on and Nicolet product Morris Cain added 10 points apiece.
The true value in the Pro-Am, at least from Butler's point of view, was being able to get most of MU's newcomers some work in true game-like conditions instead of just playing unsupervised pickup games.
Only transfer Jae Crowder, still finishing up summer school at junior college in Texas, didn't take part.
"They're coming around," said Butler of the Golden Eagles' fresh faces. "Dave is learning to stay aggressive. Van is a freak athlete. Jamail (Jones) is going to be really good.
"Jamil Wilson, when he gets ready to play, is going to be a tough player for anybody to guard. Reggie (Smith) is quick and athletic, and if he can play some tough D, he'll get some minutes."

Quick Single: Harare bears witness to Australian arrival
While South African speedsters Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel look to resume hostilities with Australia's batsmen, the Proteas will be without seamer Vernon Philander who has been ruled out of the ODI tri-series that begins in Harare next Monday.
Steyn and Morkel return to South Africa's one-day line-up having been rested from the recent series of one-day games against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.
A nasty fish hook injury picked up by Dale Steyn while he was on a Chobe river expedition by Dale Steyn during the Proteas' series against Zimbabwe has not prevented him from taking his place in the tri-series squad.
Quick Single: Steyn's fishy injury
Philander, whose influence in the recent Test series between South Africa and Australia was far more significant with bat than ball, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury and has been replaced in the squad by fiery quick Kyle Abbott.
When Australia defeated South Africa on their home turf to briefly reclaim the title of world's top-ranked Test team earlier this year, Philander managed just seven wickets at more than 51 apiece but returned an average of 67.50 as a tough-to-remove lower-order batsman.
Philander courted controversy in the Proteas' last Test series, a 1-0 win in Sri Lanka that saw them reclaim the No.1 spot on the ICC rankings, when he accepted a charge of ball tampering and was fined after footage showed him picking at the seam.
Despite being ranked among the world's top 10 Test bowlers in recent years (he is currently sixth on the ICC rankings), Philander has struggled to make an impact in the shorter form of the game and barely makes the top 100 ODI bowlers in the latest ICC rankings.
As a result, his chances of making South Africa's squad for the 2015 ICC World Cup to be played in Australia and New Zealand beginning next February would appear to be dwindling.
The Proteas have also lost another fast bowler Beuran Hendricks to a back injury for the tri-series against Australia and Zimbabwe to be played in Harare, and his place has been taken by Mthokozisi Shezi although Steyn and Morkel seem likely to share the new ball.
Exciting young fast bowler Marchant de Lange, who played the third of the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe that concluded yesterday, having been recalled early from the recent South Africa A series in northern Australia, has been overlooked in the squad to be captained by AB de Villiers.
"Kyle (Abbott) impressed in the three matches he played against Zimbabwe while Mthokozisi, who also did well on his debut today, is a like-for-like replacement for Beuran (Hendricks)," Cricket South Africa (CSA) chairman of selectors Andrew Hudson said.
"It was also pleasing to see Marchant de Lange resume his international career so well after a lengthy injury break and he underlines the tremendous depth we have to our fast bowling resources at the moment."

Young wicketkeeper and opening batsman Quinton de Kock was in fine form against Zimbabwe, equalling the record for the fewest number of innings to reach 1000 ODI runs, and collecting the man of the series award after scoring 185 runs in the three games.
The Proteas play their opening match of the six-game round-robin series against Australia next Wednesday, with the tournament final scheduled for Harare on Saturday, September 6.
South Africa squad: AB de Villiers (capt), Hashim Amla (vc), Kyle Abbott , Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Rilee Rossouw, Mthokozisi Shezi, Dale Steyn

Each year the Department of English and Philosophy
at Arkansas State University (Jonesboro campus)
sponsors an interdisciplinary Delta Blues conference,
bringing together scholars and performers to celebrate
this rich musical tradition. Symposia also have provided
a broader context for understanding the history and
culture of the seven -state Mississippi Delta region,
extending the focus beyond the blues to the literature,
politics, religion, folklore, and art of the area. Past Delta
Blues symposia have featured such speakers as David
Evans, Trudier Harris, Elizabeth Payne, Barry Lee
Pearson, Michael S. Reynolds, William Wiggins Jr, Joel
Williamson, and Dr. Joycelyn Elders. Among creative
writers who have read from their works have been Ellen
Gilchrist, Barry Hannah, Allison Joseph, Yusef
Komunyakaa, Al Young, and Ellen Douglas. Musicians
who have performed at symposia events have included
Johnnie billington, Sid Selvidge, Lemuel Shepard, John
Weston, and Joyce Cobb.
The seventh annual conference promises to provide a
forum for similar luminaries. The focus of Delta Blues
Sympsium VII will be The Music and Arts of the Delta.
While we solicit papers on the Delta Blues, we also
encourage presentations on other musical forms as well
as the visual, verbal, theatrical, kinetic, and material arts
of the region. Topics may include any aspect of Delta
fiction, poetry, drama, storytelling, film, dance, quilting,
painting, photography, and other art forms.
developments will be made available on the World Wide
Web at: www.clt.astate.edu/blues.

Texas Schools Find Creative Ways to Teach About Water
LUBBOCK — Christian Cardenas, a fifth grader at Bayless Elementary School, bubbled with excitement last month as he opened a box containing a low-flow shower head and other water-saving devices.
"These are really cool kits!" he exclaimed as he held up a packet of tablets used to detect toilet leaks. He planned to start making his home more water-efficient that evening — perhaps with his father's help.
The kits are part of an effort by the local groundwater district to encourage conservation in a region that has been dealing with a severe drought. This school year, the High Plains ...

Work or Stay At Home? New Study Reveals Your Postpartum Happiness Depends on You Making the Right DecisionLauren Jimeson
When I was pregnant with my first, I was a sixth grade teacher teaching science at a middle school. My daughter was due a few weeks after the new school year started, which meant that I was very pregnant at the school orientation to meet my new students and parents.
As I gave my speech on what to expect for the year as well as what would happen when I leave for maternity leave, I noticed "looks" from moms around the room. As I opened the discussion up for questions, there were quite a few times when I was asked if I would be returning to work after the baby was born. Even though I covered that in the speech prior, these parents had doubts that I would return. They expressed their concern that I would fall in love with my little girl and never want to return to the workforce again.
They were right, but in only some ways. I did fall in love with my little girl, but I also wanted to return to work after my maternity leave was up. With my husband living over a thousand miles away from us, returning to work gave me the much needed adult time that I longed for at home. I loved my job and being able to educate others. It made my time with my daughter just that much more special when I picked her up after I got off work and on the weekends. Although it was a tough decision to decided whether or not to return back to work (I admit I did extend my maternity leave,) I know that it was the right decision.
Deciding whether or not to stay at home after the baby is born or to return to work can be a tough decision for many mothers. According to a new study, your postpartum happiness depends on whether you do what you really want to do in regards to returning to work or staying at home.
The research, conducted on 1,110 first time mothers at Brigham Young University and published in the journal Human Relations, found that 71 percent of the mothers were not doing what they really wanted to do in regards to working or not working after they had their baby. Of the women surveyed, the postpartum depression rates are much higher if a mother does the opposite of what she really wants to do, whether she stays at home or goes to work.
Twenty five percent of the mothers in the study experienced clinical depression when they did the opposite of what they wanted compared to only 14 percent who suffered from depression and were happy with their decision of returning to work or staying at home.
Although the decision is a hard one, some women have no control over whether or not they want to stay at home or return to work regardless of what they really want to do. Some moms have to return to work after the baby to help support the family, because we all know that having a baby is a big financial commitment. Other mothers can't find work after having a baby and are forced to stay home. It's sad to me that this can affect their postpartum happiness, especially if you have no control over the situation.
I was fortunate to be able to return to work after having my daughter when I wanted to. The decision made me happier with myself and I think that it strengthened the relationship I shared with my daughter.

Executive Chairman of Genomic Health Inc. (GHDX) Randal W Scott sells 20,000 shares of GHDX on 12/13/2011 at an average price of $27.29 a share.
and selling shares last week was also the right thing to do.
As the volume is increasing it is easy to buy as much as one wants.My commission rate is <5 dollars;- )Around 28 dollars yesterday you could have bought or sold 10k shares easily so the liquidity you say doesn't exist - does.
The shares I sold yesterday will be bought back soon for more profit had I just held.If your style is to B&H Good Luck to you.I am very impressed with this company but I know markets... and the greatest companies will fall hard if the markets fall hard,and unfortunately I believe that is in the cards.
rose; you will sweat trying to get backin ..when you try to buy any significant size, price will run away..requiring many trades if you use limit order...this stock if you use market order..see what kind of price you will end up in average. daily trade is so low one serious trade can alter price greatly. not a trading stock to me.
GHDX remains in the biotech trading index.I am glad the company is not in the bio field.This is a great life sciences field.I
sold some yesterday.-0 )
rose; ghdx is not considered as traditional biotec h, it's genomic based diagnostic
"It's not necessary to trade to gain handsome return"
I agree but trading will return more with Biotechs if you buy the dips as I have,take profits,as I have,be patient and not greedy.If GHDX makes that huge price appreciation and "miss it" (rare),I will cheer your gains.Market conditions may not be favorable in the future.
rose; this stock GHDX if you followed for many years like I have, you will not say those points on prior message....this company should not be viewed as Biotech as mentioned. GHDX doesn't have Phase I, II, III, clinical testing and reporting to creat volatile up and down with news releases. GHDX go through more different validation for FDA approval so it is more predictable outcome once it is applied for FDA approval...Therefore; stock does not go through violent ups and downs...it is more influenced by market condition than product testing outcomes. I have successfully accumulated GHDX shares for over 5 years. When you trade GHDX ,you can someday miss hugh price appreciation. It's not necessary to trade to gain handsome return.
I have posted my recent buys and am up almost 10% in 2 weeks.I have not "been all over the place"
My post about the CEO selling at the short term top was valid and I took adv of it."Just Buy and Hold" is a poor strategy with bioteck stocks.I've been in this business for 40 years
stupid gets you an Ignore
I agree ..just keep buying when you increase buying power with rising share price.. margin interest rate is dirt cheap. expecting to see explosive price movement this year. I will pickup another 10,000 shares in March at $30 shr, if stay under 30. Not worry at all.. Way to buy at discount is sell PUTs...
Rosey, your posts were calling 23 a more reasonable valuation (still listening to Canacord). You are all over the lot, seeing tops that have now been broken through and switching to call them bottoms.
It isn't that hard to make money here stupid, just buy and hold.

Discussion: Unloader Knee Brace
I started to wear one last year. I am in the same boat as you, lefty bob. I am trying to delay knee replacement after 2 ACL surgeries on my left knee. I have painful arthritis. The loader brace definitely reduces the pain. I find I can run in it, although the quick movements, side-to-side, for example, are a little tougher. I play the outfield and seem to be okay running straight ahead, but when a quick change of direction is needed I feel a little cumbersome due to the brace. I met another guy with the same issues and he has been wearing the brace and playing for 10 years. He's over 60 so the game is a little slower there.
Good luck with it. Hope this helps.

Discussion: Evaluation fo Dudley Senior Bats
I purchased a new one in Vegas at the Worlds in October and the bat was awesome right from the first swing. I know 3 or 4 other guys who bought the bat and had the exact same experience as I. I am really surprised to hear about the "dud". The bottom line with all these bats is durability - that will be the key. If the bat is durable and doesn't crack after 300 swings, then to me it is a success. I have cracked approximately 15 bats over the past 4 years of all makes and models, so no one manufacturer has a heads up over the pack, in my opinion. Hopefully Dudley has figured it out. We will see. But I expect to see lots of people swinging this bat next year. The jump off the bat on line drives is ridiculous and the distance is as good as the other senior bats from Miken, Combat, Reebok et al.

Discussion: Texas State Championships - How were the fields and other Facilities?
The fields were very poor compared to Kiest Park in Dallas. What I found more insulting was they actually went through our bags as we entered the park. The concession prices were high. Yes, it was hot and that made for a difficult day on Saturday, but that complex is no where near as nice as most others that we have played on before. The outfields were bumpy in some areas. The highway noise and the trains going by made it the loudest place we have played as well. Especially on Field 1.
All in all, it was a disappointing facility, especially compared to Kiest Park.

Discussion: 2 piece Ultra broke after 6 games..... extremely disappointed
I bought a balanced Miken 2 piece from Corky in Austin in April and so far I too am extremely disappointed in it. It has no pop, certainly nothing like the Black or Gray Ultra 2's. I have about 80-100 swings on it between games and BP and have seen no improvement. I don't know if it has a break-in period. I sure hope so and I get some improvement. I would advise anyone not to get this bat.

Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion
I think having an 11th fielder is an outstanding idea. I have felt that way since I started playing 6 years ago. It should be left to the teams as to whether they want to add an infielder or outfielder. Each team has different strengths and weaknesses so they should decide where they want to add the defender. There should be no restriction on where the extra fielder wants to stand. It would make the game better for sure.

Discussion: Miken's defective bats
I'm shocked to read about several people who have actually had warranty replacements from Miken. I play on a 50 Major team and I know we have probably broken 75 Miken Ultra 2's the last 2-3 years and NO ONE has ever got a replacement from Miken. We were all told many times it comes with no warranty. We see Corky all the time at tournaments and he knows we have purchased, and broke, his bats. 90% of the guys have switched to the Reeboks this year and many of us have had broken bats relaced with new ones from Reebok in the last 3-4 months. It's my opinon that the Reebok does not last any longer than a Miken, but the fact that they will replace them makes all the difference in the world. I agree with CRUSADERVB in that the Combats last the longest. We have a few of those amongst our guys and they have had no issues.

Discussion: How many bats this year??
I had a red Ultra 2 end load break after 20 at bats. Our team has probably broken 10 bats (mostly Ultra 2's) so far this year and we've only played 1 tournament! I'm convinced its the balls, and the fact that we take a lot of BP with older, harder balls. We've stopped doing that. Most of the guys on the team now don't use their game-bats for BP or league. We try and save them for the tournaments.

Discussion: Gold Worth Launch 510 for trade
OK. I have an Ultra 2 that is 2-3 years old. The weight is either 27 or 28. I don't know because the sticker came off the knob. I bought it as a backup from a friend last year. I use a 30 oz normally, but wanted a backup because they always seem to break. What tournaments are you playing in the next few months? - maybe we can meet and I can show you the bat to see if you are interested. I would add some cash to the deal.

Discussion: Spa Ratings compared to SSUSA ratings
I agree strongly with Wes. You can't have arbitrary opnions decide how a team gets moved up or down. It has to be decided on the field according to agreed upon rules, like SPA does it now. Teams have the choice to not play in an association if they feel they are being mistreated.

Discussion: RULE CHANGES...COMMENTS
I think its a GREAT idea to make them outs rather than singles. It's either that or change the bats and balls. Watching 15 balls go over the fence and have them be singles is a joke and not softball. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the committee take such a risk but I think the result will be fewer divisions and more competitive games.

Discussion: Should Major Plus be combined with Major teams
I play Major 50 and have always felt there are too many divisions. There should be 1 or 2 at the most - A and Major. It's a major letdown to go to a tournament and play the same teams over and over. The scores for major games are almost identical to major plus scores. They should be combined. Likewise for AA and AAA. There's no reason to have 4 seperate divisions.

Lancaster man arrested after authorities say he threw puppy from vehicle
A Lancaster man was arrested Tuesday evening on an animal cruelty charge after authorities say he threw a puppy out the window of a moving car.
Authorities say the incident occurred on Friday as Marquael Odoric Greer and his girlfriend were traveling east on Interstate 20 in Parker County.
Greer's girlfriend told Tarrant County deputies that she and Greer were arguing when he rolled down his window, took the 6-week-old Chihuahua from her lap and threw the puppy out the window.
She also accused Greer of assaulting her before removing both her and another passenger from the vehicle.
Deputies found the dead puppy near the shoulder of the interstate, and observed blood in the center of the freeway where they believe the puppy landed.
Parker County officials arrested Greer, who was being held in the Dallas County Jail. No bail has been posted.

A Georgia woman who was tied up during a home invasion was freed after she sent a message for help using her feet, according to local police.
Thoughts of the famed television hero "MacGyver" saved Amy Windom when a gun-toting robber broke into her home on August 3.
The intruder tied the 39-year-old AT&T consultant to her bedpost, but thankfully did not bind her feet. The oversight caused Windom's despair to give way to desperate creativity.
Realizing that her laptop computer was within a toe's reach, Windom convinced the robber to leave it behind. Then, with her hands tied, she toe-typed an instant message to her boyfriend John Hilton for help.
"I used my right toe as a mouse on the touch pad. I pulled over the power cord and put that in my left toes and used the end of the power cord as a tool to hit the keys," Windom told CBS Atlanta News. "I started instant messaging him and told him I was tied to the bed and had been robbed and asked him to call 9-1-1."
Hilton was impressed with his girlfriend's fancy footwork.
"She's creative, she's a fighter, she used what's she's got," Hilton said.
Although the robber fled the scene with Windom's car, cell phone, and other electronics, she said she's just grateful to be alive.
"I don't have the world's prettiest feet, but I think I'll keep them - pretty handy," she said.
Police have since recovered Windom's car.

Lonely Too Long
After 26 Years of Estrangement, the Not-So-Young Rascals Harmonize for a Night at Rock's Hall of Fame
That fan club quickly grew into a mob. Within months the Rascals, a bunch from the New York City metropolitan area who wore modified mop-tops and knickers, scored a No. 1 hit with "Good Lovin'," a rock classic that has sold 30 million copies to date. Countering the British Invasion with their blue-eyed soul, the group toured the U.S., made several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and reeled off a string of hits including "Groovin'," "How Can I Be Sure?" and "A Beautiful Morning." "It was the days of the astronauts, and I remember feeling that same kind of exhilaration, like the rocket took off," says Rascals organist Felix Cavaliere.
Eventually, though, the Rascals crash-landed, splitting in 1971 over creative differences. Later, former bandmates sued Cavaliere over copyright infringement and royalty disputes. But there may be a happy ending yet. On May 6 the Rascals—Cavaliere, 54, singer Eddie Brigati, 51, guitarist Gene Cornish, 52, and drummer Dino Danelli, 51—plan to play together for the first time in 26 years when they are inducted—along with Joni Mitchell; the Buffalo Springfield; Crosby, Stills & Nash; the Bee Gees; Parliament-Funkadelic; and the Jackson 5—into Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "It's going to be great," says Cornish. "All I want is for our hearts to beat as one."
Cavaliere, however, pooh-poohs any ideas of a reunion album or tour. "I'm not going to play [with them] after that one night," he says dismissively.
Things certainly seemed simpler back in 1965, when the group gathered in the basement of Cavaliere's parents' home in Pelham, N.Y. The classically trained keyboardist, who had been playing with Joey Dee and the Starlighters, jammed with New Jersey-born drummer Danelli and fellow ex-Starlighters Cornish, from Rochester, N.Y., and Brigati, another New Jersey native. The mix of talent "was something I had never heard before," Cornish recalls. "Felix played organ like no one in the world, and Dino Danelli—forget about it, I'm still in awe of him 30 years later. And Eddie Brigati just sang so magically."
Success was heady stuff, but the pressure took its toll. "I had a Rolls-Royce and a Jaguar and could never put any miles on them," says Cornish, explaining that the group routinely worked six-day weeks. "I covered myself from head to foot with the whatever-you-want-to-call-it—the sins of life," admits Cavaliere. As the harder-edged Hendrix era arrived, the band lost its way in search of a new sound. "Everybody wanted total freedom to create," says Danelli. "Within our little structure, where there was a formula, it was hard to do that."
When the group disbanded, "it was almost like a family breaking up," says Cavaliere. "We were very close. Our families shared the holidays." They were also bitter, taking potshots at one another's integrity and talent. "I thought we were above this vicious behavior, but I was wrong," says Cavaliere. Bad vibes surfaced in 1989 and again in '91, when Cavaliere was sued by his ex-pals. They first accused him of appropriating the Rascals' name for his own band and, later on, of mishandling royalties. Both suits were settled out of court, but animosity lingered; when Cornish had quadruple-bypass surgery in '95, Cavaliere didn't visit.
Today, Cornish, who lives with his girlfriend in Hudson County, N.J., and Danelli, who shares a Manhattan fiat with his girlfriend of 18 years, spend summers performing at small outdoor concerts with the New Rascals. Cavaliere lives near Nashville with his wife of 27 years, Theresa, and two of their children, and performs with the corporate-sponsored Northwest All-Star Band. Brigati, a Morris County, N.J., resident, appeared with his brother David, a former Rascals backup singer, in Donald Fagen's New York Rock and Soul Revue.
While the sniping continues, all four Rascals look forward to the Hall of Fame bash. "I truly still love all these guys," says Cornish. "Maybe the Hall of Fame will mature us to the point where we can go, 'Hey, you were wrong, I was wrong. Shake, pal' "
