Anyone had the Cincinnati Chili?
A long time ago I used to have a boyfriend that when he went to Cincinnati, he used to bring me chili back. It was gooood!
I have only been to the Cincinnati aiport coming back from St Louis. I had gone to a four game series in St Louis where my Dodgers managed to lose all four. I had traveled with a friend. While waiting at the airport, I told my friend that I was going for a little walk. I lost track of time at the small Borders reading a baseball book. When I got back everyone was gone! I asked what happened and the guy told me I had just missed the flight. My friend did not even bothered to call me reminding me! Some of you know that friend. She has a blog "BehindBlueEyes". Anyway, she said she kept waiting for me to show up. Soooo, I waited like five hours more for another flight.
While waiting, I started talking this guy that works for the airline and telling him my troubles. He saw that I had a Dodger shirt, a baseball hat, and a baseball book in my hands. He started quizzing me with baseball questions. He told me he was a Giant fan. Anyway, he must have taken pity on me when I asked him "What am I going to do here at the aiport?", that he sent me to the VIP room where I settled posting in my friend's blog and sipping on cosmos. Oh yeah, with all that time I had, I got to try the chili too.
One of the questions I remember the Giant fan asking me was "who was the last switch-hiter to win the A.L. MVP?".
This weekend my boys are playing Dusty Baker's Reds. Chad Billingsley who is from Defiance, Ohio goes against Homer Bailey. I am not sure how far Defiance is from Cincinnati but Chad should have friends and family there. Homer is from Texas.
I did not know this: In 2008, Homer Bailey released a charity wine called "Homer Bailey's Chardonnay" with 100% of his proceeds supporting Outdoors Without Limits, an organization committed to help reduce the barriers that prevent disabled people from enjoying the great outdoors. Way to go Homer!
Let's Go Billz!! Let's Go Dodgers!!

I have had cincinatti chili, and boy is it good! They have great spaghetti with chili sauce, I love it. It is right around the corner from CLE. =). New post up.
Hey Ted!
That is the way I tried it, with spaghetti and I remembered it was good! What? Defiance is around the corner from CLE? Thanks!
UGG……I've had Skyline Chili and YOU can have it!…yuck. But Cincinnati IS a great little town. I love The Montgomery Inn Boathouse. Great View, great drinks , great ribs!
Now come on Bills!!
Go Blue
Oh! that is another thing Craig used to bring from Cinci, the Montgomey Inn barbeque sauce! that was good! He used to love going to the Montgomery Inn boathouse.
I've been to Cincinnati a few times and really liked the city. In fact, I was on a book tour and had a signing there, caught pneumonia and ended up in one of their local hospitals! Everybody was so friendly. But I've never had chili there! I'm putting it on my to-do list.
Sorry to hear you ended up with pneumonia. That got to be terrible to be on the road and end up in the hospital. Chili and the Montgomery Inn barbeque sauce next time Jane.
We lost the first game in Cinci to Homer Bailey so congratulations to
Homer. He was the better pitcher. We'll get them tomorrow..oops later on today with our knuckleballer Charlie Haeger.
Well, that is a misrepresentation! I still have the cell phone call logs verifying I tried to call you three times in 20 minutes–frantically, I might add–while I was stuck on board the plane because they would not let me off to go find you. Your phone was turned off!
I used to have a boyfriend (here in CA) from Ohio back in the '80s. I didn't think the chili was anything to rave about. I'm trying to think of anything we had from Ohio that stands out in my mind. Off the top of my head, I can't.
Deb has posted that their home team in Defiance is the Indians…and that they go to a few games every year. That's why she knew a lot about Casey Blake before he came to L.A. It's too bad, but Chad did not have a great start last night–and he wasn't helped much, either. At least the Rockies did not win. Hopefully we'll get 'em today.
Actually had my first bowl back about 5 years ago in the Cincinnati airport. But then a few years later when the team came to play the Reds in Inter League I got to go to one of the meccas of Cincy Chili….Skyline Chili.
Great stuff, and with the many ways you can have it personalize for your taste buds, it becomes the crazy bus to flavor town as the Food Network's Guy Fieri would say.
Hope your area stays fire-free and that all of us remember those brave firefighters trying to contain those wildfires in So Cal.
Have to say, that is a job that frightens me for the pure fact fire is a living, breathing creature at times.
Hope and pray for safety, rain and the minimum damage to belongings and homes of those living in the fires path.

Haha, Emma, chili is the best thing since baseball. =)> And since sliced bread. I love chili. Hey, I have a new post up.
The Red Sox, for the last several years, have released wines, named after different players each year and the proceeds go to the player's charities. They make great gifts and the wine is really good.
Emma: Chili is good. But I have never had Cincinnati Chili. Mmm.
My Yanks had another walkoff last night. They are supposed to play in the afternoon today, but it is raining. If the game is rained out, I can do the NL West cutie post tomorrow! -Virginia
None of those calls regisstered in my phone. I don't remember my phone being off. Infact I remembering saying back then "why did she not call me?". Anyway, I ended up having a pleasant time once I was in the VIP room🙂 I know you would have had fun with the Giant fan. Yeah, is too bad Chad has not had good games lately. Vic noticed at Dodger Stadium that is fastball's speed is off.
Thanks Rays, looking at the picture of the fires and the firefighters escalading I could just not do it. The fires look frightening from the freeway let alone any closer. Our thoughts, prayers and thanks for all of them.
we have a place here called "Bob's Big Boy" that sells chili with spaghetti. I have not been there in a long time and most are closed but there is still two that I know about. One of them in Burbank has a drive thru and it used to have a Friday night car show. I should go one of these nights to reminisce about the times I used to more often.
I love to get a bottle of Tommy Lasorda's wine. I have not found it at stores yet, but I know they serve it at several restaurants. They sure do make great presents especially to a baseball fan.
I read about the walk-off from Jane. I got the tv on with the Yankee White Sox game. I saw that Miere had that no hitter broken. Looking forward to the NL West Cutie list. I know Andre will be there!
Skyline Chili rules!!! The Saag brand brats at Dodger Stadium are the best Bratwurst I've ever eaten.
Skyline is about the best food ever…at least to this Cincinnati native🙂 I'm always surprised when people who aren't from Cincinnati actually like it…most people I know who aren't from here could take it or leave it. And I did not know that about Homer releasing the charity wine…I kind think I might have to do a little bit of looking into that haha
You know as much as I go to Dodger Stadium and I have tried everything there, I have never had a Saag brand brat. I will try one in this next homestand. Thanks!
I guess is because I love chili that liked the Cinci chili once I tried. I googled Homer Bailey and found that about the wine.


text: I had my daughter 3 weeks ago, June 13th and breastfed for about 1 1/2 weeks. I know, I barely nursed at all! I developed a case of Mastitis that had me sooo sick and I didn't have any help with my 2 older children (ages 5 and 7) so I became quite frustrated and gave up breastfeeding all together. Well now I'm wishing I had pushed through because I breastfed my older 2 children up until 6 months and so I feel guilty and want to give my newborn the same goodness. Anyways, I started the fenugreek and I have a Medela handpump that I've started using every 2 hours after nursing. I know the hospital grade electric ones are best but I don't have the money to rent one right now. I'm thinking I should probably contact my OB to get a prescription for Reglan or Domperidone tomorrow. Does anyone have any other advice, hopefully that doesn't cost much if nothing at all??? :-) Its only been about a 1 1/2 weeks of not breastfeeding so I'm hoping it won't take too long for my milk to come back in and I didn't take anything to dry it up so I'm really hoping and praying right now.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 33 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Zer0mar This racket packs a punch! Feels like it's loaded with springs. Makes the other rackets I used to play with feel like cardboard. October 26, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Solly SPEED It took a while to get use to this paddle. I would barely swing and the ball would rocket off into never-never land as if shot from a cannon. After a couple of weeks I'm still getting used to it but every part of my game has improved so I must recommend the paddle. There are two slight negatives...the paddle is a bit heavy and it has a tendency to want to fly out of my hand (though it hasn't yet). January 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Adrew GR8 PRODUCT! This is a good paddle for the money with plenty of weight! November 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jack Love this paddle! I am fairly new to ping pong and I just upgraded. This is my second purchase of a higher end paddle and this master series cannon is better than the Stigar Pro Carbon. I get better spin and more control. I can handle top spin better and return with more spin! Love it! November 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by DoubleD STIGA - GREAT COMPANY+PADDLE STIGA is a world-class company in every aspect. They not only produce great equipment but they have incredible Customer Service department as well. I have this paddle and love it however I had a complication with the paddle itself so I contacted STIGA directly. They went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction with timely responses and replaced my paddle. They also made me aware of their 90-day warranty policy which is just an added bonus! Highly recommend this company for your table tennis needs! October 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mshah Nice paddle I am graduating from $20/- paddle to something better for club play. This has nice bounce. Should hold me up for next 6 months and will allow me to decide if I really want to get a custom paddle. For now this is more than sufficient for my level of play. Happy with purchase. Glad Dicks took the trouble for putting together this package for about half of what a custom paddle would cost. October 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by AspiringClubPlayer Used it for six months; excellent for recreational play My Cannon weights 154g, has a rather stiff blade. Very good control, good spin, medium speed. After six months of use I bought my first custom-made paddle and it seemed flimsy compared to the Cannon. I kept buying until I found a blade more like the Cannon (Stiga Allround NCT). I still use the Cannon at my office to dispatch co-workers. February 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by FastEddy67 Good racket, Great Stiga customer service I am giving 5 stars for Escalade Sports customer service. I bought the racket and after a little use the racket handle broke completely off. Until it broke I liked the speed, control, and spin of the racket. After contacting customer service about the racket breaking, they went above and beyond my expectations with their response. I can't speak for other racket manufacturers but Escalade Sports stands behind the Stiga products. Maybe I was just unlucky with the breakage, the racket plays nice for $60. February 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mdx Plays great!!! Great spin, speed, and accuracy!! Has really enhanced the enjoyment of the game! January 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by PongSensei Great Paddle!!! I bought this paddle to play while in college. I started as practically nothing(a beginner) and now became one of the best players in my college in half a year to a year's time, and this paddle probably has a big part to do with it. With taking good care to it, I have never broken the paddle or had any real issues. I usually play with a lot of strong backspin and because of the rubber on this paddle, it has helped make my opponent to make a mistake. I have used the paddle for 1 1/2 years now and it is working great although the rubber may not be as sticky as it once was but i can still every once in a while get my opponent with my strong backspin. Also I love the Anatomic handle as it fits comfortably well in my hand. I would definitely recommend buying this paddle as it has exceeded my expectations on it. I never once doubted buying it and I'm very glad I bought it. January 1, 2015

Melody study using ABC Notation Possible solution to the attachment problem
Posted 09 February 2012 - 11:47 PM
It was invented a number of years ago (back when we all had dial up modems) for the express purpose of making it easy to email or post music in a short plain text format. Once you receive the text, there are many free programs that will play it for you, convert it to sheet music, convert it to or from MIDI, MusicXML, etc.
Another chief reason ABC notation was created was to quickly capture a lot of traditional folk music. As text it is very searchable, so the Musicology department at MIT created some free tools (Music21) that allow a researcher to search a catalog of music and quickly ask questions like "Find all songs that use a particular chord pattern", a particular rythmn, etc. If we ever get really interested in knowing how the blues had evolved from earlier music, that would be a useful tool. There are some large public catalogues of music already in ABC notation for us to explore for ideas and understanding.
I'm a Finale user myself, and I'm not crazy about the number of mouse clicks it takes in Finale sometimes just to enter a few notes. So as I've been playing with ABC Notation using the "EasyABC" tool, I've found that it sure is a fast way to sketch a melody. Don't get me wrong, Its not going to replace Finale for composing - at least for me - and its a lot easier to enter notes than it is to read them - but I don't mind so much since the EasyABC tool is converting them to standard notation "on the fly" as I type them.
You can go to www.abcnitation.comfor more information. If you want to try it, the remainder of this post is a short example that I wrote. To see it it action, first copy every line starting with X:1 below Then go to www.folkinfo.org and paste the song into their convert to see and hear the resulting melody:

I respect that. I don't like any extra steps myself that might limit the number of people who participate. It was my understanding though that attachments weren't negotiable, so was trying to do the best we can.
Time is becoming a factor for me. I read somewhere on one of these posts that "tools won't give you talent", and that's true but a good tool to me is like a pair of shoes. I can see this tool giving time back to me; creative time.

That's how I feel about my pen and paper, Greg.
I invested a great deal in learning how to write lead sheets properly.
I would resent the new demands of applying an inferior intermediary technology.
Shameful really, for a 'songwriters' site' to have no facility for sharing/discussing charts.
Negotiable or not, it would still be a simple low-cost thing to achieve.
Posted 10 February 2012 - 09:48 PM
Lazz, you seem to be someone whose work I would especially like to see preserved in an encoded format, beyond any of today's music business trends, for a time when people are trying to understand who we really were. A large part of what caught my eye was how the Academic community was using it to solve the problem of capturing and understanding "what is music". Of not losing our heritage.
The issue with ink and paper (scanned or not) is similar to the same problem we once had with ink and paper fingerprints. If someone can't find it, you might as well not have it. Encoding is the enabler where otherwise your scans and audio would molder in a (real or virtual) warehouse. Because of encoding they can look at tunes from a certain region, and craft a query based on tones, rythmns, patterns, etc. to disover how that music came to be, rather than relying on someone's acknowleged "influences". Some of it apparently can be traced at least as far back as 1000BC.
I am admittedly trying to take some of the sting out. I agree with you that it would be irritating to do something just to accommodate the limitations of a web site. I hope to persuade you that there are other benefits. And I'm perfectly happy to give anyone space to disagree.

The sound file is created separately, and as most of us know, is hosted elsewhere and a link provided. (I tried embedding a sound file once, and that didn't turn out too well.)
This process is very cumbersome, time consuming, and doesn't produce results for easy discussion of music in a way that would benefit a portion of the community here.
The Muse forums already take up huge amounts of space (which is why old posts are periodically weeded out). It would cost Jodi more to provide additional space to host the sound and/or graphic files that would be so useful in this particular forum. And if that capability were available to us, I'm sure the other forums would start using it, too, so the added space needed would fill up quickly, requiring stepped up maintenance of weeding out old posts. So the option of hosting these files is off the table.
Greg had mentioned in another post, MusicXML readers (which are free for download), like Scorch from Sibelius, and one from Finale. This would go a long way toward solving this issue. These notation programs, the notation files can be embedded from a different host site, and if you have the reader, the file ot only appears in the post, but plays the music that is notated. A bit of research needs to be done, as I don't know if the readers generically work for all MusicXML files, or if each notation program needs its own reader (not all notation programs have a reader).
ABC is a fantastic new language for creating notation that was created early on in the Internet's history as a means to work around this problem, when all you saw on the screen was text. One could actually play from the ABC text file, after becoming familiar with the language, and an ABC reader on one's computer could also convert it to real notation for viewing away from the Internet. I agree with Lazz, that learning another intermediary step doesn't go to far to address the problem we have here.
I don't know if the ABC readers (I used Barfly), can be used to create the graphic within the post. (Once graphics could be seen on the Web, the need for ABC dwindled, so I don't know whether their was a need for it anymore.) Anyone interested in world folk music might want to check the ABC files that are out there, as it's one of the best libraries of Irish, Scandinavian, Scottish, etc., music.

Other forums already use the capability, Salley, purely as a point of information.
Hosting sound-files would take up a great deal of space, certainly. But that was never my issue.
A lead sheet, on the other hand, is a matter of mere kilobytes.
Not a big issue at all.

It's not my call. Apparently, to Jodi the issue is big enough. Here is her reply when I asked about the possibility of adding that function:
Hope that helps!
All the best, -- Jodi
You are welcome to PM Jodi yourself if you wish to discuss it further.
Her suggestion was to do what I have done in the past: link or embed the file which is hosted on another server, whether that be your own ISP, or sites like Alistair suggested.
Here is an example of such, complete with a link to a sound file: http://www.musesmuse...ndpost&p=527523
Sure, the graphic showed up, and there's a corresponding sound file. *My* problem with this is all the white space in the graphic. I would like to have several graphics of 2 to 4 bars only, with their corresponding sound files linked right by them, all in one post. I think the the seas of white space would distract from effective communication. Whether this problem is due to my notation program, or the server hosting the graphic, I don't know.
This works fine for posting a complete lead sheet.
Posted 14 February 2012 - 02:24 PM
We have a solution now - the one from Jodi being the same as the one from Alistair's - so it's no problem for me anymore.
Not sure how I would address the issue that you are suffering, though - the white space blues.
The only way I have dealt with things elsewhere is to upload a jpeg or pdf I have made - which then appears exactly as I have framed and formatted the original. Never had need to link the item to a sound-file. (Indeed, wherever I have uploaded a chart in this way, there has been no comparable facility for uploading sound-files. That operation WOULD be unrealistically demanding on space. My own sound-files, for instance, can be between 9MB and 16MB. Space for jpegs and pdfs however is comparatively negligible and doesn't present anywhere near the same challenges.) So Alistair's work-around suggestion will work just fine for me.
In retrospect, I believe I may have previously misunderstood what you meant by the words "other forums" and realise now you were probably referring to other sections of the Muse board and not other sites. My mistake. And of course I realise also that it is not your call to make for this site.
Posted 20 February 2012 - 07:13 PM
In general (whether you use ABC or MusicXML as a file format) what seems energizing about using sofware versus a PDF or image are things like:
A) I can press "play" and hear all the parts, even if I don't have the skill (or enough hands) to hear them otherwise. Yes, I could do that with a recording but...
I can also edit the notes, slow the piece down, mute certain parts etc. and hear the effect immediately. I can submit my changes to the forum without having to re-record anything.
C) I can write /listen to songs with bare bones chords only (or words and chords) including complex Jazz chords I might not have heard or used before and the software I have will at least play the progression for me band-in-a-box style (free, does'n't require band in the) With just chords to work with, this tool plays only a very simple rythmn, but it would be enough to help understand say how changing to a 6/4 inversion of a chord leads nicely to the end of a cadence.
A correction I'd like to make, because I gave out wrong information earlier: I'm told that ABC notation in its basic form dates back to at least the Middle Ages, though there are some newer computer related extensions to it (EX: assigning a MIDI Instrument to a voice) that are kept carefully compatible with its original form. That might not make a different to anyone except me, but it gave me a greater respect for its utility and survivability.
To answer a couple of Salley's questions, the tool I use immediately converts ABC notes like E E F G grapically to the standard notes/staves into another window on the screen as I type them. So its not a question of either/or for me, but I end up using both at the same time.
I can also drag music XML, midi, or ABC into the tool, and the software will automatically convert and display it visually for me. So I could be ambivilent about the file format, but here's one reason maybe to care though what format we use: As a reader, it seems easy enough to click on a PDF or Image. But as a submitter or reviewer who has to post files on one site and comments on another, I think its faster and less irritation to copy and paste ABC from the forum.
Sibelus handles ABC and MusicXML. As far as free tools for standard notation, M.I.T. recommends MuseScore (Heh, seems appropriate for us) as a free tool that rivals Finale or Sibilus. MuseScore can also directly save or import files as ABC, MusicXML, etc.

Signs and symptoms of vaginal cancer
Can vaginal cancer be found early?
Some cases of vaginal cancer can be found early. They may produce symptoms that cause patients to seek medical attention, but many vaginal cancers do not cause symptoms until after they have reached an advanced stage. Pre-cancerous areas of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) do not usually produce any symptoms. Still, well-woman exams and cervical cancer screening can sometimes find cases of VAIN and early invasive vaginal cancer.

Lloyd Robert Marshall, 67, and Nitta Mitsuko Marshall, 65, former Waianae residents, were sentenced on Monday to terms of imprisonment of 36 months and 18 months, respectively, on gambling charges, according to the Department of Justice.
They were accused of conspiring to conduct, operate, finance, supervise and direct an illegal gambling business involving cockfighting, dice tables and card games at their Puuhulu Road property in Waianae.
There were also 13 counts of structuring over $239,000 in proceeds during a one-year period from the illegal gambling business to evade certain regulations relating to currency transactions.
Under federal law, a Currency Transaction Report must be filed by a financial institution with the Internal Revenue Service in regard to any currency transaction over $10,000. It is illegal to structure transactions with financial institutions in order to avoid this filing requirement.
According to documents filed in connection with the case, from approximately 2009 to July 2011, the Marshalls agreed to use their property as a site of illegal cockfighting contests and dice and card games.
Police observed from 100 to 600 people at these "derbies." People attending the
games paid parking and entrance fees. The Marshalls also forfeited $170,578.75 in cash, representing gambling proceeds which were seized on July 2, 2011 during a search warrant executed on their property, and their interest in real property used as the venue for the illegal gambling activities.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Friday, June 4, 2010
Post #8
There is a documentary called "What About ME" due to come out in 2011. I watched the trailers and found them quite moving. At one point there is a woman talking about the people she knows that have committed suicide as a result of this illness. She said their bookshelves were lined with self-help books.
Here's a link: http://www.whataboutme.biz/
The suicide rate for people living with this is very high. The psychologizers would have people believe that we suffer from depression that will be fixed with some anti-depressants and cognitive behavioral therapy. They fail to see that 25% of us are so ill that we can not attend to basic activities of daily living, that we live our lives in isolation, and that we have a neurological disorder (in addition to immune system dysregulation) which produces all of the symptoms consistent with traumatic brain injury. We are fighting very hard for our lives.
This is a very different life from the one I imagined. I've gone from researching ideas for my dissertation to researching the best wheelchair to get. From going out for coffee with friends to living my life in isolation. I used to believe in the medical system for the most part. I now see how we don't have a medical system at all but an insurance system which is great when you are healthy...but horrible when you have a chronic illness.
I think what shocks me most is how easy it has been for people that I knew to discard me once I became so disabled by this. Trying to reconnect with old school friends has been eye opening. Things are fine until the question: "so what are you doing now?" I tell them and then never hear from them again. I once believed in the constitutional illusion that all people are created equal. They should have included a disclaimer "that all healthy people are created equal." Once you become disabled you realize there is a US version of the caste system with disabled people at the bottom. So I no longer answer the question "what am I doing now." In fact, I've stopped trying to reconnect with anyone.
One would think that after 3 years of being sick that I'd get used to it by now. With this illness 3 years is nothing. Three years is still within that window of shock and awe. It is still within the time frame of being hit with more losses as the few people who did try to maintain a relationship with me have also gone their way.
I'm still angry about it all. Maybe it will never go away. I do have moments of peace and joy. Most recently was last weekend when I was able to leave the house for a little while. We went to a high end stereo store so I could get some headphones. I treated myself to a pair of Grado 125i headphones which are ugly but sound heavenly. The whole experience at the store was wonderful. I got to sit in a comfy chair and listen to different headphones. I'm grateful I can still listen to music. It's the one thing this illness hasn't touched except for those rare days when my head hurts too much to listen to anything.
I guess I'm adjusting to the fact that I've tried so many treatments with nothing to show for it. Short of stem cells I don't know that anything will help.
So I will continue my search for a wheelchair/scooter, lick my wounds, and continue to try to grow spiritually.

Your story is a reflection of my own. The worst of all of this is that now, that we 'think' XMRV goes beyond just an association, all my advocacy/awareness emails to friends and contacts go unrepied to. They will reply to emails that are happy and have nothing to do with my illness. It makes me just so angry and frustrated. Last week, my mother told my aunt on the phone that my lab results came back positive for XMRV. My aunt did not say one word. Nothing. She didn't call, or email me. It's cruel.
I tell myself "I give up", I will no longer send anything to anyone, and I will never reply to any email they send.
I tell myself this, and anger and hurt make up the rest of my week or so, until I get my persoanl power back, and continue to send emails because it's not about me anymore; it's about them and the risk they are at for getting exactly what I have via the blook bank or via bodily fluids.
And on it goes...

OMG your post brings up so many thoughts and feelings. The kind that make me want to get busier on my own blog. The trailer is scary, alright. Getting a wheelchair is not an option for me for many reasons, and the thought of needing one scared me so bad I forced myself to get my body stronger. Also, after losing my friends to this dd 12 years ago, I now tell new people in my life that I am a Domestic Goddess and avoid talking about the dd at all costs. They will find out soon enough when I have to keep cancelling dates, huh. Then they will dump me too, huh. I have moderate BPD also and have learned that I can "fake normal" which works in social situations. So I've adopted "faking normal" as much as possible with the CFIDS also.

I am reaching across the country to give you cyber hugs from my corner of the world to yours. I am so sorry that you are continuing to do so poorly and having to think about what kind of wheelchair to have is challenging to say the least. I have one myself which is right now stored. I have not had to use it for quite awhile, but that is because I cannot be out in a mall, or on a sidewalk due to worrying about exposures. Anyway, it is here when I need it just like the walker ~ Just tools to support us, but yet, not just tools...but a blatant reality of what we have lost. And you are right, not many people really get it...that is why it is SO important to stay connected with those who DO get it~ The bloggers, the support groups, those who see our struggle on a daily basis. I wish we could gather daily for the hugs we need, the words we need to hear...
You are in my thoughts and prayers, Terri...Joel and I prayed for you this morning and we will continue to do so...
I am going to go look at the trailers of the documentary ~
thanks for telling us about it...

I can definitely relate about writing posts and then not publishing them.
You touched on some important points here. I just keep nodding my head. Thanks for writing. And congratulations on new headphones. When I was really sick and in bed all the time my uncle got me a nice pair (beats by dr. dre) I listened to a lot of music and it really took my mind off things and let me escape.

Thanks for the link into the two trailers both of which are excellent I will add to my blog soon.
Good luck to you in finding something to help you recover your life and health.

You posted a blog on the 3rd of June which started "Stanford Research Study on Chronic Fatigue-Free Extensive Blood Tests" which you have now removed. May I ask did you remove it due to any concerns about it accuracy? I can only find instances about it where your blog posting has been reposted elsewhere, but no other reports about this Stanford study being done by Dr Montoya.
Best regards,

Like many people reading your blog I can totally relate, most of my 'friends' have not contacted me at all since I got sick and those that have just sent one liner emails etc ... such a disappointment. I am lucky to have 2 freinds that have stood by me and mum and dad. Th edocumentary does look interesting, lets hope it opens some eyes!

I have had this illness for 32 years, and I haven't gotten used to it! I can also relate to the people who have the mindset of "illness as failure" that have stopped communicating with me. With ME/CFS, we can't base our self esteem on how others chose to perceive us. Unfortunately, our current culture lacks empathy, and compassion in the rush for self- gratifications.
Thank you for your honesty with your process.

I can't tell you it's going to get better because after 20 years, I cant' say that. But I cant tell you that it does become a little easier to deal with.
I find it alarming that we have such a high suicide rate. That really just makes me want to spit.
As for people not being compassionate like old friends, I have come to realize, how could they. They have no frame of reference in which to understand what we live with every day. They HAVE to move on with their lives and make money and what not. Trying to squeeze us into their busy lives is a challenge at best.
We unfortunately can't.
I have tried finding ways that I can help my friends from within my 4walls and a view. I have this one friend who is computer inept big time. I help her anytime she needs help.
Maybe if you could find things that your friends need and you can do, you can create a bridge that can help you navigate the changes in your relationships.
Sometimes, people don't know what to say and do and to be honest, I think we scare them. What if it was reversed and we were healthy and they weren't. What would we do?
Sending you hugs and prayers.

Thanks everyone! I'd write individual thank you's but I had a bad night's sleep. Maybe later in the day....
Ian-I took the post down because I read on the discussion board on Facebook where the study was posted (as well as a thread on lymenet.org that I can't find anymore) that they took down their info from Facebook because Stanford has some sort of protocol that needs to be approved before posting the study.
I can send you the info I have about the study if you email me at email@example.com

I think you are right about the hidden caste system. We have it over here too. There's so much faux 'awareness' about that real awareness isn't really happening.
Keep blogging girl. I'm sure there was some good stuff in those deleted posts.

So excited for the documentary - it's so important to raise awareness. A foremost expert on CFS, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, has just put out a new book called Beat Sugar Addiction Now: http://endfatigue.com/. It is written in a simple style and outlines his easy to follow, multi-step plan. He begins by identifying 4 main types of sugar addicts and then outlines a specific plan for each type of addict to follow. He explains how sugar plays into the problems suffered by each kind of addict and goes into detail when clearly and succinctly explaining how to beat the cravings. While Teitelbaum does not provide recipes or meal plans, he does give guidelines for healthy eating and lists of recommended foods as well as the glycemic index for many common foods.This book would probably be helpful not only to people attempting to lose weight, but also to those with illnesses such as Type II Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, just to name a few. Though Teitelbaum is a medical doctor and is clearly coming from a medical background, he writes in layman's terms and creates a book that will be easily understood by most people.

Being in a crash right now I really relate to your post. And yes, losing friends was so very hard. I rely mostly on internet friends since they don't have to deal with my constant explanations of why I can't go somewhere or do something with them. I have two long time friends who have hung in there with me and I'm grateful for that. A cousin who was close to me since childhood has barely been in contact since i got sick. I could go on and on but I won't.
We'll all pull for each other.

I agree about the hidden caste system. People tend to treat illness as some personal failing on our part. I hope that attitudes toward CFS/ME begin to change with all the new studies underway and with this movie coming out. Hugs to you, Terri, for writing so eloquently again about what all of us face.

i googled 'cfs warrior'... and ended up here. bingo!
you speak so articulately of the dilemma we face in trying to achieve connection & support in living with this illness.
i too have reached out to old friends... only to see them vaporise once i admit i'm 'not working'. 'not working' i put in quotations, because surviving with this illness is more work than any job i was ever paid for.
i too have watched supposedly good friends bail ~ drift, close doors, rudely abort long friendships.
this illness seems to touch a deep vein of fear in people ~ in a society that values independence, speed, and productivity, we are the reminders of the shadow side, the cost of that.
glad to have found your blog :-)

By Sandra Gordon, Pure Matters
As with so many things in life, it pays to be prepared -- and conception is no exception. At least 90 days before starting to try to conceive, both men and women should take steps to improve their diet and exercise routines, as well as fine-tune any medications they may be taking to make sure they are friendly to the developing fetus.
"If you optimize all those things, you'll improve your fertility, reduce the risk of miscarriage and enhance the outcome of pregnancy, meaning both mother and baby will be healthier," says Lisa C. Mazzullo, M.D., clinical assistant professor of obstetrics at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago and co-author of Before Your Pregnancy: A 90-Day Guide for Couples on How to Prepare for a Healthy Conception.
For men, the 90 days before conception are crucial because that's the developmental life cycle of sperm.
"That's the time to eliminate things in a man's diet and lifestyle that can be a concern and improve upon things to increase the health of sperm," says Dr. Mazzullo.
For women, what they do during that 90-day period can increase their chances of becoming pregnant. They also can help reduce the risk for complications as long as they continue their good habits until delivery.
With this in mind, Dr. Mazzullo offers these suggestions for pregnancy preparedness.
Mind your meds
At least 90 days before trying to conceive, women with chronic conditions, such as asthma, high blood pressure, a seizure disorder, or diabetes, should see their doctor and obstetrician-gynecologist to make sure their conditions are stable and their medication regimens won't be harmful to a fetus.
If necessary, blood work may be needed to fine-tune your medication use. A preconception visit also can help your doctor troubleshoot for diseases or conditions you may not know you have that can prevent pregnancy or interfere with the healthy development of your baby.
In some cases, you may be advised to stop taking certain medications. If so, "a month or two in advance of conception is the time you'll need to get the medication out of your system," says Dr. Mazzullo.
If you're on psychiatric medication, you also should meet with your doctor or psychiatrist about weaning down to the lowest possible dose.
With medications for depression or anxiety, it's best to be on just one drug, if you can, instead of two or three, and to be on the lowest dose possible, says Dr. Mazzullo.
Whatever you do, don't stop these drugs on your own, just like you wouldn't stop taking diabetes or asthma medications.
"You won't be mentally at your best, which can affect how well you take care of yourself," cautions Dr. Mazzullo. "If you're depressed or anxious, for example, you may not eat right or exercise, which is important for conception, as well as fetal growth and development. You also may be at higher risk for postpartum depression after delivery."
If you're traveling abroad and need specific immunizations, get them three months before you try to conceive. "You'll need the vaccines that far ahead so it's safe to conceive," she says.
Certain medications also can affect sperm quality and sexual performance, which is why men who take medications also need to check in with their doctors if they're being treated for a chronic illness.
Take folic acid
It's important that women hoping to conceive get at least 400 mcg of folic acid daily at least one month before conception, particularly if their diet doesn't contain adequate green leafy vegetables and other sources of folic acid.
"By getting adequate folic acid in advance, you can reduce the risk for neural-tube defects, such as spina bifida," says Dr. Mazzullo. The recommended dose for folic acid may be higher if a woman has a personal or family history of neural tube defects.
After you become pregnant, you most likely will need to switch to a prenatalvitamin, so talk to your health care provider.
Reduce alcohol, caffeine intake
Because alcohol exposure can increase the risk of miscarriage and affect fetal development (fetal alcohol syndrome or FAS), it's important for women trying to get pregnant to not drink any alcoholic beverages at least a month before trying to conceive.
Alcohol affects your ovulation pattern because it affects different enzymes in the liver.
"I often tell my patients if they want a glass of wine or a margarita, to have it during their periods. But in the second half of the month, when they could conceive, not to drink at all," she says.

Gov. Scott Walker's $100 million property tax cut proposal heads to the Legislature this week.
Republicans intend to move quickly on the plan, which if passed would cut property taxes on the typical home by $13 this year. The actual effect on individual homeowners varies widely across the state.
Walker unveiled the proposal last Thursday. It's slated for a public hearing Tuesday before the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee. That panel is expected to pass it and send it to the Senate later on Tuesday for a vote.
The Assembly is expected to vote on it Thursday.
Walker says he wants to sign the bill into law by the end of the week.
Walker announced the plan just three days after Democrat Mary Burke announced she was running against him.

News & Events
Bluefield State College
Board of Governors
February 19, 2004
Members Present: Mr. John Barnes, chair (via phone), Mr. Norris Kantor, Dr. Frank Ball,
Mr. Michael Hanna, Mr. Daniel Frost, Ms. Ann Crowe, Mr. Jack Caffrey,
Mr. Jeff Forlines
Members Absent: Dr. Lyn Guy, The Reverend Garry Moore, Mr. Jack Stafford
Guests/Staff: Dr. Albert Walker, Mr. Jim Nelson, Mrs. Shelia Johnson, Dr. Tom Eaves,
Dr. David Perkins, Mr. Raphael Heaggans, Mr. Bruce Mutter, and
Mrs. Vivian Sidote
Mr. Kantor noted that Mr. Barnes, chair, would be participating by conference phone. Mr. Kantor chaired the meeting.
Approval of Minutes
Mr. Kantor asked for approval of the minutes of January 15, 2004. Mr. Frost noted the following corrections: 1) line four should read classified, not nonclassified, positions; 2) a motion was made and seconded (NKantor/JStafford) to approve changing these positions to nonclassified and note that Mr. Frost voted against this motion; 3) in the seventh line it should note that Mr. Frost indicated that the college has not have lost several classified positions, and; 4) Mr. Frost indicated at the last meeting he discussed the issue of one position being advertised and two people being hired for the same position, another item that was not in the minutes. With all corrections being made, a motion was made and seconded (FBall/DFrost) to approve minutes with corrections. Motion carried.
Financial and Administrative Affairs
Tuition and Fees
Mrs. Shelia Johnson distributed to Board members a draft summary of state appropriations of tuition and fees. She reviewed this material and discussion followed.
Campus-based and Reallocation
Shelia said a committee is being put together to look at campus-based and reallocation projects.
Mahood Hall
Shelia mentioned that, with the possibility that Mahood Hall may be used for student housing, a decision could be needed regarding where and how to relocate faculty and students currently using Mahood Hall for academic purposes. Eight firms have responded to an "expression of interest" to develop proposals for the Mahood Hall initiative. A committee comprised of Bruce Mutter, Peggy Turnbull, Burt Clark/SGA President, Clyde Harrison, Paul Rutherford, and Shelia Johnson interviewed five firms. The firm recommended by the committee was Thompson and Litton and a contract has been approved. She said the firm may be able to make a presentation to the Board at its March or April meeting.
Policy 25 and Policy 30
Policy 25 - Personnel Administration
Dr. Aikens indicated he noticed that nonclassified employees are not listed in Section 2. Shelia said nonclassified employees are addressed in Section 2.17.
Mr. Caffrey indicated that there is a typographical error in 12.1, in which the word "appointed" was misspelled. Shelia observed another error--specifically that in 6.1 last sentence, which should state that 37.5 hours will be established within a work week.
Mr. Frost discussed 2.1.7 Nonclassified Employee. Mr. Frost noted the line to be deleted says nonclassified shall not exceed four percent of the total number of employees at the institution and the line to be added states nonclassified employees shall not exceed ten percent of the total number of employees and an additional ten percent of the total number of employees may be placed in this category if the position is considered critical to the institution by the president. Mr Frost mentioned if the policy stays as it is written, it would take away from the number of classified employee positions. He said, in checking with HEPC counsel Bruce Walker, that the total amount could be less but not more than the amount listed in the policy. It is Mr. Frost's recommendation that this be changed to no more than fifteen percent. There was discussion following. Mr. Kantor said there needs to be a motion and an amendment. A motion was made and seconded (ACrowe/MHanna) to accept policy as presented. Discussion followed. An amendment was proposed (DFrost) to change the wording of Policy 25, No. 2.1.7 to state fifteen percent instead of twenty percent. Motion failed by a 7-1 vote.
Policy No. 30 - Reduced Tuition and Fee Program for State Residents Who Are At Least Sixty-Five Years of Age
Ms. Crowe indicated on page two that all of the underlined information will be deleted and material highlighted will be added. She reviewed the policy. Mr. Kantor asked if there where other schools in the state that have a policy like this. Ms. Crowe indicated there are two other schools. A motion was made and seconded (ACrowe/JForlines) to approve policy as submitted. Motion carried.
Academic and Student Affairs
Program Review
Dr. Eaves indicated that he had placed in each Board member's information packet a program review for the B.A. Humanities program. He requested that Board members review this information, then vote on the matter at the March meeting.
Program Enrollment and Graduation Rates
Dr. Eaves distributed material on enrollment and graduation rates going back to 1992 and reviewed the information.
Summer Enrollment
Dr. Eaves said the College is moving toward significantly increasing summer enrollment by expanding the number of courses offered. The College is also increasing the number of evening courses offered. During the current semester, the number of evening courses has increased by 67%.
Peer Funding
Dr. Eaves mentioned that in talking with his colleagues there is a proposal to initiate institutional funding based upon peer institutions.
Dr. Eaves answered questions from Board members.
Public Relations and Legislative Report
College Day
Jim Nelson announced that on February 3, 2004, 22 students, faculty, staff, and administrators are scheduled to participate in the College Day at the Legislature program, an annual activity involving all state public and private colleges, advocating for support and positive change for higher education in West Virginia.
Update on Legislative Session
Jim noted that the final day of the 2004 regular session is March 13.
Jim reviewed HB 4508 - which would allow colleges to offer graduate programs.
Jim provided a chronological historical background of SB 448 as follows:
February 4 - introduced to the Senate
February 10 - passed the Senate and was sent to the House and immediately referred to the House Education Committee.
February 11 - House Education Committee introduced a 241-page amendment that passed in the committee by a 21 to 2 vote.
February 12 - first reading in the House
February 13 - second reading in the House
February 13-17 - several amendments were proposed to the bill and where defeated at various times
February 18 - amendment passed in the House by a 66-27 vote with 7 abstentions. The bill will be referred to the Senate Education Committee.
Dr. Aikens asked Jim to describe some of the issues that could arise with the implementation of SB 448. Jim said one of the concerns is financial impact. Mr. Kantor gave a detailed review of SB 448. He mentioned the following highlights: 1) the bill does not include any information on the fiscal impact of its implementation; 2) it created the possibility of BSC's loss of high cost associate degree programs like engineering technology, radiologic technology, and nursing; 3) BSC is currently serving a student population whose average age is 28, thereby already achieving one of the rationales expressed for developing SB448; 4) passage of this bill and resulting creation of a community & technical college council will deepen a state budget deficit that is already $120 million; 5) the possibility that money could be diverted from baccalaureate components to support the establishment of the CTC Council, and; 6) the possibility that Title III-purchased equipment and positions underwritten by Title III at NRCTC would have to be returned to Bluefield State College.
Enrollment Management

Beatrice L. Miles
Beatrice L. Miles
BARRE Beatrice Letter Miles, formerly of Barre and Williamstown, Vt. and known to friends and family as Bea, Grammy Bea and Aunt Bub beloved mother, grand- and great-grandmother, sister and aunt, passed away peacefully at 101 years of age on Jan. 26, 2013, at Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin, Vt., where she had been a resident for several months.
Beatrice Laura Letter was born in Barre on July 14, 1911, the seventh of 15 children born to Anna Therrien and Eugene Letter. After elementary school in Williamstown and two years at Spaulding High School in Barre, she went to work as a secretary/bookkeeper for her father and brothers at Letter Granite Co. Bea was praised in the workplace for her organizational skills and number-crunching ability, coupled with an affable personality.
In 1940, Bea married John Roswell Miles, of Graniteville, who was active in the Vermont granite/stone industry. A daughter (Judith Ann) was born in 1942 and a son (John Stewart) in 1945. After the war years, during part of which Bea and John worked for Sikorsky Aircraft in Connecticut, the Miles family lived at 30 Averill St. in Barre, and Bea lived there until moving to The Gardens at Williamstown Square in 2005. Bea and John were proud and active members of the St. Monica Parish. For decades, Bea was a member and supporter of Catholic Daughters of America, the charitable, benevolent and patriotic sorority for Catholic ladies.
In the mid-1950s, Bea and John established the John R. Miles Supply Co. Bea, as the companys vice president, office head and bookkeeper, was her husbands partner in the companys operations and management until Johns death in 1980, when Bea assumed the reins. She teamed with Johns right-hand man, Charles A. Charlie Martin, who expanded operations and purchased the company, now operating as Miles Supply Inc., and serving the stone industry throughout the eastern U.S. Bea was also a dedicated member of the Barre Altrusa Club, the community service and leadership organization.
Bea loved to travel. In addition to business trips (including one to Germany with Charlie Martin to study the diamond blade industry), there were scores of visits throughout the U.S. and Canada over the years to catch up with friends and her/Johns siblings and families who had settled in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Chicago, Florida and California (to name a few). In the 1980s, Bea joined the Rev. (now Monsignor) Reid Mayos travel group, which took her on spectacular voyages to Israel, Lourdes and Italy. She raved about these educational and inspirational trips, as well as those to Switzerland and France with her grandchildren, and Ireland with her kids, for as long as she lived.
In her mid-40s, Bea took up the game of golf which became her fondest avocation for the next 50 years. She was a member of the Barre Country Club, participating regularly in Ladies Day, and traveling with her golf buddies to State Day matches for as long as the Vermont weather allowed. And her golf clubs accompanied her on many trips to Cape Cod and Florida over the years.
Bea also liked to bowl. She and her only sister still remaining in Barre, Lorraine Clark, were members of Twin City Bowlings Coffee and Donuts League. They christened their team The Busy Bees and bowled in the womens league for many years providing good entertainment and, even if there were no 300 games, some decent scores.
Her other sport was cross-country skiing, which she started late in life but couldnt get enough of. Well into her 80s, she continued playing golf and card games with women decades younger than she was, who became her good friends.
Bea was also a music lover and began taking piano lessons at age 45. For the next 50 years, she entertained her family daily with pieces ranging from Mozart to Gershwin, keeping up with her lessons and practicing almost every day.
But family was her biggest passion of all. Bea was interested in people, was fun loving and was the first to volunteer. Although loving tradition, she was a modern woman in the way she combined her homemaking and business duties, finding time for a lot of grandparenting, as well as her many civic, church and sporting activities. For the last 40-plus years, she has been known in many circles simply as Grammy Bea. The Gardens in Williamstown welcomed Bea as a resident in 2005; her daughter, Judy, moved there in 2008; and her younger sister, Lorraine, also moved there in 2011. Beas remaining sibling, sister Jeannette, who turned 106 last Christmas, lives with her family in Chicago.
Bea is survived by her daughter, Judith; her son, John, and his wife, Thea; her three grandchildren, granddaughter Julie and husband Randy Allworth and their children, Sean, Aimee and Max, granddaughter Jennifer and husband Jay McDonald and their children, Mason, Braxton and Avery, and grandson David and wife Lisa and their daughter, Ryann Elizabeth; and her five step-grandchildren (Theas children) and families. She is also survived by her sisters, Jeannette and Lorraine; her sister-in-law, Margaret Foster; and dozens of nieces and nephews and their many children.
Beas Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Saturday, June 8, 2013, at 10 a.m. in St. Monica Church in Barre, followed by interment in St. Monica Cemetery. There are no calling hours.
Contributions, in lieu of flowers, may be made in Beas memory to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice (CVHHH), 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641.
Arrangements are in the care of the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

I really need to vent...
Tonight I gave my 10 month old daughter her first bottle of formula... She took it with no problem. She has been breastfeeding less and less over the last month. The only time she will nurse is first thing in the morning. The rest of the day it has become a battle. She will turn away, cry and even bite. I can sometimes sneak in one or two more feedings for the day if she is tired and will nurse before a nap. During my attempts to nurse I've been firm, I've been laid back, I've been celebratory. I have tried EVERYTHING! Gone into a quiet low stimulating environment, offer all the time, mix it with solids (she gags), sang to her, praised her...I would have stood on my head if that would work. I am so sad and don't know what else I can do. I'm sure some of it has to due with teething, her 2 top teeth have been coming in for quite sometime...however she has just about stopped nursing despite ALL my efforts. Nursing only once a day can't be due to teething???? I am shocked that she is weaning already. I really thought we would make it to a year and I would have gone longer if she wanted.
She has been eating solids regularly (about three 4 oz jars a day), but isn't all that interested in food either. I have pureed countless homemade yummy high quality dishes and time after time she rejects them. The only food she likes comes in a jar. I am so disappointed that my daughter is now living off of processed baby food and formula
At the advice of a lactation counselor I had been cutting back on the solids the last few days and it didn't seem to phase her. She actually started nursing less. Today she nursed 1 and half times (she fell asleep during the 2nd feeding). I had to give in and give her SOMETHING. She won't take a bottle of breastmilk from me, never would, only from Daddy. Unfortunately Daddy works 24 hr. shifts (sometimes 48 hrs). The plan is that I will keep pumping and when he's here and she won't nurse he will offer her a bottle, but how long do we keep this up? It seems like I am pumping FOREVER to get something. My supply has totally taken a hit. Its hard to know how much milk she is getting from me, but I would suspect not much more than 6-12oz a day. Tonight she slurped down almost 8 oz. of formula in one feeding. That's gotta be better than nothing...right?
I'm so puzzled...and exhausted.
She seems totally fine despite not really eating or nursing. She's the most smiley, giggly baby on the block. Should I just accept that she is weaning??? I am totally committed to breastfeeding. It took us 4 months to get a latch (we used a shield), I stuck it out and will stick this out if its a phase, but if its not a phase when do I give up??? She almost seems frustrated with me when I offer to nurse her. I don't want her to hate it.
Any words of encouragement or advice is sincerely appreciated.

Lieutenant Logan was one of the chief engineers aboard the USS Enterprise-D in 2364. He came at odds with Lieutenant junior grade Geordi La Forge when the latter was placed in charge of the Enterprise-D by Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Logan came to the bridge and asked La Forge to hand his command over to him explaining that he was the Starfleet officer having more experiences in such situations. La Forge asked him several times to leave the bridge and later gave him the direct order to go back to main engineering while fighting a Minosian weapon in orbit of Minos.
When La Forge decided to do a saucer separation and battle the enemy only with the stardrive section, he placed Logan in command of the saucer section and gave him the order to approach Starbase 103. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom")

Background information Edit
Logan was played by actor Vyto Ruginis.
He appeared to have replaced Lieutenant Commander Argyle as chief engineer. However, Commander William T. Riker's line in TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before" that engineering matters were overseen by "one of our chief engineers, in this case, [Mr.] Argyle" seems to imply that the ship had more than one chief engineering officer at the time. Therefore, it is possible that Sarah MacDougal, Argyle, and Logan all served as chief engineer simultaneously. This practice of having more than one chief engineer seems to have come to an end by 2365, when Geordi La Forge became the sole chief engineer of the Enterprise-D.
Apocrypha Edit
According to the comic "Suspect" in DC's TNG series, his full name was "Charles H. Logan" and he was killed while serving aboard the USS Bradbury sometime between 2369 and 2371.

Apple Hires Veteran Hacker Who "Delayed Windows Vista"

Pickup should boost Apple's recently struggling security efforts
Malware authors, who are finally taking note of the company's operating system amid rising market share,
have of late victimized
Apple, Inc. (
). Amid struggles with malware -- mostly Trojans (programs that imitate real software or are carried by seemingly innocent webpages and trick users into installation) like
-- the company has been
scrutinized by security firms
who suggest it needs help, and a more proactive stance on plug-in patching.
highly profitable
computer and digital device maker made a key step in the right direction this week, though, hiring Kristin Paget (
formerly Chris Paget
), according to
a report
Ms. Paget seems a natural fit for Apple.
She has said in past interviews that she is a "total Unix head" (OS X is Unix-like) and dislikes Windows. And she's expressed an interest in hardware security. When she left Recursion Ventures, her security firm, in July she expressed a desire to move away from bug-finding.
Thus she may see her talents first applied to Apple's efforts to lock firmware hackers
like George "GeoHot" Hotz
out of Apple's iOS firmware. Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has been largely
unable to stop such hackers
from defeating its digital rights management scheme (via jailbreaking) and its network locking (via unlocking). Apple has hired hackers in the past (
most notably "Comex"
) to try to shore up its firmware, but the efforts
have oft fizzled
The new recruit, though, could fare better as she brings a long history of eye-opening security exploits. In 2010 at DefCon hacker conference she set up a cell-phone intercepting station, a low-cost homebrew hardware setup that tricked towers into routing calls -- even encrypted ones -- through it, allowing conversations to be snooped on.
Kristin (formerly Chris) Paget led the bug finding hunt that helped dramatically improve the security of Windows Vista. [Image Source: Jean-Philippe Martin]
But Ms. Paget's most prestigious honor was delaying Windows Vista and in the process greatly improving its security. In 2006 she was hired by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to assist with the final development of Vista. According to recent speeches, which she gave after her five-year non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft expired in 2011; Microsoft had expected a clean bill of health when they brought her onboard.
Instead, she and her team found a wealth of bugs. She recalls, "We prevented a lot of bugs from shipping on Vista. I'm proud of the number of bugs we found and helped get fixed."
The bug hunt was so successful that it forced Microsoft to delay Windows Vista. Ms. Paget and her team received honorary shirts from Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine that read: "I delayed Windows Vista."
Windows Vista is widely viewed as a turning point in Microsoft's security history, paving ground for later

The National Football League has decided to keep the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in 2014, according to NFL.com.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the Pro Bowl will continue in the island for at least another year and said some changes could be coming.
There is one concept that the team captain could choose the players on the team, like in a schoolyard.
Goodell used the example of Peyton Manning choosing a team and Eli Manning choosing another.
Goodell said that players had a "positive effort" in 2013 after the lackluster game in 2012.
Hawaii Tourism Authorities President and CEO Mike McCartney says this is great news for our island tourism economy.
"The Pro Bowl in Hawaii is more than just a game; it generates worldwide media exposure for the Hawaiian Islands, contributes significant tax revenue and expenditures through visitor spending, boosts activity and revenue for local businesses and offers an opportunity for residents to engage with players and experience a live professional football game," said McCartney.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie said, "We have kept in close contact with NFL officials, and I am very pleased that the Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii in 2014. Like thousands of fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the last Pro Bowl game held in January at our Aloha Stadium. Opportunities to reach national and international audiences such as this will help maintain our state's positive economic momentum, particularly in the visitor industry."
The Pro Bowl will continue to be played in the week before the Super Bowl. Goodell said the site of future Pro Bowls could change, but Hawaii is expected to be a part of the rotation of sites.
