Vermont bats struggling against fungal diseaseJoshua Brown File Photo
Scott Darling, a state biologist, inspects a bat at the Greely Talc Mine in Stockbridge for signs of white-nose syndrome in July 2011.
CHESTER Even though the tricolored bat has been added to the states endangered species list, the states bat population still struggles as white-nose syndrome continues to takes a toll on Vermonts most common bat species, the little brown bat.
Brown bats are in winter caves, but many of them are succumbing to weak immune systems caused by the syndrome, which is transmitted by a white fungus.
The disease has stricken common bats, killing the majority of them in hibernation caves over the past four years, Alyssa Bennett, a state wildlife technician, recently told the Chester Conservation Society.
While Vermont caves have been adversely affected, white-nose syndrome has been ravaging bat populations across the East Coast and in other central states as well.
It is in winter when (bats) are in that reduced state, when they cannot fight (the fungus) off very well, she said.
While hibernating, bats breathing, heartbeat and temperature are reduced and their immune defenses are mostly shut off, Bennett said. Once the fungus gets on their bodies, usually from another bat, they wake up which she said upsets the balance of electrolytes in their systems and depletes their fat reserves
Coming out of hibernation too early, in their weakened state, the bats freeze.
The white fungus, geomyces destructans, is visible on the bats snouts and wings in caves and ravages their body tissues.
For several years after the fungus was first found in New York bats in 2006, biologists couldnt say for sure if the white substance was the cause of death in millions of bats nationwide.
We have confirmed the fungus is the cause, Bennett said.
The tricolored bat, also a cave dweller, was the third bat species to be placed on Vermonts endangered list last fall.
One of the smallest bats found in the Northeast, the tricolored with red, brown and yellow colors is also one of the first to go to caves in autumn. In summer, this bat prefers the borders of woods, sleeping in upper parts of trees, often near farmland.
According to Bennett, a key reason for protecting bats like this one is the vast benefit they bring in killing insects. They save the agriculture industry $3.7 billion or more each year nationwide, she said.
The little brown bat, one of the most common American species, and the long-eared bat which has been hardest hit in the Northeast were the first two species put on Vermonts endangered list 1½ years ago, Bennett said. Its now illegal to harm protected bats without a permit.
The disease hasnt killed nearly as many larger bats, such as the big brown bat, a more solitary species with larger nose and teeth which can spend winters in buildings, Bennett said. Bigger bats may have a stronger immune system to fight off the fungus, she said.
White-nose syndrome has consistently taken its worst toll on smaller bats like the little brown bat in winter at caves like the Aeolus caves in East Dorset which are the regions largest winter quarters for bats. Ninety percent of the hundreds of thousands of bats once living there have died.
Researchers have tagged about 100 little brown bats, tracing their movements, Bennett said.
White-nose syndrome has spread south in bat colonies in caves in the Appalachian Mountains, as far south as Tennessee and Alabama. The disease has been found in a total of 19 states, plus four Canadian provinces.
This was the predicted path this disease would spread, Bennett said. (We) didnt think it would spread that far that fast.
In Vermont, Bennett has tallied numbers of surviving little brown bats in summer colonies, verifying that they continue to produce pups or offspring. She said she responds when people call her with reports of bats in buildings, in an effort to help protect the population.
Researchers have found the fungus in soil around bat caves. The fungus seems to prefer the same conditions favored by bats, researchers report. While bats usually catch the fungus from another bat, they can get it from the cave environment also, Bennett said.
Wildlife officials have been guarded about the locations of surviving bat populations. For the safety of the bats, specific locations are federally protected.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Wineke: Madison Symphony integrates music, art, drama
The thing about the arts is that they appeal to the heart as much -- or even more -- than they appeal to the mind.
A painting, a poem, a play, a song -- they all reach beneath intellect and strike at one's emotions. We can study them and we can talk intelligently about them, but the purpose of the arts is to enable us to experience them in a way that takes us outside our comfort zones and immerses us in a different world.
Sunday at 2:30 p.m. the Madison Symphony Orchestra will demonstrate all that means with a one-time performance of "Beyond the Score," a production that includes the symphony, actors from American Players Theatre and videos and photographs projected on a giant screen.
The theme of the production involves Antonin Dvorak's "New World" symphony.
The symphony, which premiered in 1893 in New York City's Carnegie Hall, was the highlight of Dvorak's time as director of the National Conservatory of Music in America.
Dvorak was convinced that the key to American music could be found in African-American spirituals and in Native American songs. Though he didn't use those songs directly in his symphony, he based his production on what he believed to be their essence.
The best-known part of the "New World" is the song "Going Home."
The theme is a natural way for the MSO to stage its first "Beyond the Score" production.
Anders Yocom, a Wisconsin Public Radio personality, will narrate. Actors James Ridge and David Daniel will reenact part of Dvorak's life in America. Jacqueline Colbert, a mezzo soprano who is a minister of music at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Madison, will sing. All this, accompanied by slides and art projections, form the first half of the program. During the second half, the MSO will play the entire symphony.
The overall production is a work of the Chicago Symphony, which leases it to music groups around the country.
This has been a cold, miserable winter. If you get a chance, take in "Beyond the Score" Sunday at the Overture Center. It will warm your heart enough to prepare you for the last week of January.

TowerBrook puts lender Hayfin up for sale
Hayfin Capital Management, the UK-based private lender created by a host of private equity firms, has been put up for sale by its owners.
Hayfin — formerly known as Haymarket Financial — will be sold in the coming months after its majority owner, the transatlantic private equity firm TowerBrook, decided to offload the business, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.
A private debt specialist, Hayfin was created in 2009 by TowerBrook, Omers Private Equity, Public Sector Pension Investment Board of Canada, and Australian sovereign wealth fund Future Fund. The firm is headed by Tim Flynn, a former partner at investment bank Goldman Sachs, who was the bank's former co-head of European leveraged finance.
According to one person familiar with the matter, investment bank UBS, a long-standing adviser to Hayfin, will advise on the sale. Market participants estimate the company is likely to fetch its owners hundreds of millions of pounds.
According to one adviser familiar with the sale, at least one private equity firm has already talked to advisers about making a pre-emptive bid this year.
Hayfin is based in London and has offices in Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Luxembourg, Frankfurt and New York. The firm has grown considerably since its inception in 2009 and manages over €5.3 billion across a range of lending and collateralised loan obligation funds.
The firm has been busy fundraising in recent years. It operates a special situations fund, which closed on €1.35 billion in June last year, while it also closed a €2 billion direct lending fund in March this year.
According to Hayfin's most recent set of annual accounts for the year ended December 2012, the firm made a profit of £7.8 million.
The sale is likely to attract considerable interest from private equity firms and other suitors as the emergence of an institutional lending market continues to gather pace in Europe.
According to advisory firm Deloitte, £3 billion was deployed by private debt funds in the first quarter, with twice the number of transactions as the first quarter of 2013.
The expected sale comes as several private equity firms, including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and CVC Capital Partners, step up plans to raise their own European private debt funds. KKR completed the acquisition of Avoca Capital in October last year and is meeting investors ahead of raising a dedicated mid-market lending fund, while CVC is raising a €400 million mid-market lending fund.

Speaker: Staff Educator
Type: Afternoon Salon
Modigliani was the quintessential outsider. He refused to define or align himself with any faction or label, instead searching for a comprehensive style that would draw upon his many varied influences to create something universal. Together we look at the varied sources Modigliani drew upon to create this style, including Italian Renaissance and 19th- and 20th-century French art, as well as ancient Roman and African art (seen in supplementary images).

The Poe Museum's screening of Vertigowent off as planned–in spite of the rain. A group of true cinephiles huddled together under a large tent to witness Hitchcock's masterpiece while the rain pounded the tent. If you have not yet had the opportunity to watch a movie outdoors in a storm, you should definitely try it. Nothing heightens the cinematic experience quite the way Nature's wrath does. The real-life dangers of flash floods and lightning strikes gave the audience just the right amount of genuine fear to help them properly empathize with James Stewart's character in the film.
The lesson to be learned by all those unlucky enough miss out on this event is that the Poe Museum doesn't cancel an event until the place is underwater. Our next event will be a Poe Memorial Service to be held at the Museum on October 5, so we encourage you to come no matter how terrible to weather is.

The Salvation Army says the bell ringing portion of its Red Kettle campaign has ended with Des Moines area donations down 8 percent from last year.
The charity says contributions at 60 kettles in the Des Moines area totaled $399,030. The group attributed the decline to last week's snowstorm, when donations dropped by more than $31,000 during three days last week compared to the same period in 2011.
Although bell ringing ended Christmas Eve, the Salvation Army's direct-mail campaign will continue into January.
The group's total fund drive has now reached $832,234, for 69 percent of its $1.2 million goal.

Allen's Post-Partisan Playoff Preview
In an effort to better equip our readers for the MLB postseason, we here at RSBS want to take this opportunity to break it down along lines we understand better.
Just like the primaries and the general election, baseball also has its own storylines. There are the fairy tale Rays, the quietly impressive Angels, the never-say-die Brewers and those loveable losers themselves, the Cubs. However, sometimes these stories and those from the political arena bear an uncanny resemblance to each other.
If you're wondering where I'm going with this, you don't have to wait any longer. Here it is. The first, quadrennial RSBS Presidency Postseason!
American League:
We start with the new kids on the block. Both the GOP and the AL came into existence a while after their older siblings but they both became powerhouses rather quickly. Quite frankly, both the Republicans and the free-swinging American Leaguers have also been putting their older brethren to shame in recent years. The AL's Ronald Reagan, the New York Yankees, can't be with us this year but we still pay our respects to those who try to carry the pennant.
When it comes to this year's participants, it only makes sense to start in Abraham Lincoln's home state and look at the Chicago White Sox. Unfortunately, the White Stockings are sadly reminiscent of the prescient yet unappreciated Ron Paul. They fight and they fight, just to even get into the dance but even though they seem to have the right pieces, it just ain't gonna' happen. No one appreciates them but that's how these brutal games work.
Mike Huckabee and the Tampa Bay
Devil Rays have to be two of the most compelling stories of the year. They're fresh, they're chock-full of talent, they lost a ton of weight and wrote a book about it. But even though they make a great run at it and continue to push despite knowing they've already lost, the fact of the matter is that they, well, lose. Put them down for the semis but that's where the story ends.
On paper the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim) have to be the most impressive team, eerily evocative of their doppleganger, Mitt Romney. They have everything going for them from the best closer in baseball to really great hair. But looking good on paper doesn't always translate to real world success. Early defeat dooms both and they'll look back and wonder how it happened.
Which leaves us with the soon-to-be AL champion Boston Red Sox. A while ago, the Red Sox just couldn't put it all together. There was Bill Buckner, the epic 2003 failure against the Yankees and a basic inability to get things done. Basically, they were circa 2000 John McCain. But similar to the phoenix that was the 2004 Red Sox, McCain has come soaring back in 2008. As soon as you count either one of them out you're going to be in a whole world of hurt. And that's why, just like McCain, the Red Sox will advance to the final.
National League:
The NL, like the Democrats, is an enigma. They seem to have the talent, the flair, the running game but they just can't put all the pieces together. Yeah, there are flukes like the Marlins, the Cardinals and Jimmy Carter. And every once in a while a real dynasty (the old Cincinnatti Reds, Bill Clinton) comes along. But that's about as rare as a lump of steak tartare. So, how do the perennial also-rans figure in this year?
Just like her team, the Chicago Cubs, Hillary Clinton appeared to have everything going for her. The large war-chest, the aura of inevitability. And just like Hillary, I expect the Cubs to make it to the semifinals. However, that's where it ends for both of them. It's a nice story but it just won't cut it.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers bear an uncanny resemblance to Mike Gravel. They don't really seem to know what's going on, no one is quite sure what they're doing here and most everyone just wants them to leave. As they go quietly into the night, people will ask themselves if that really happened. Yeah, it did but don't worry about it.
On the opposite end of America, from a cosmopolitan megalopolis where $400 haircuts are the norm, come the Los Angeles Dodgers, the soulmate of John Edwards. Yep, they may have come from humble roots but you're not kidding anyone these days. The question is, will Alyssa Milano turn out to be the Dodgers' Rielle Hunter? Either way, neither the Dodgers or Mr. Edwards are going to stick around long enough for us to find out.
And that brings us to the Philadelphia Phillies. Yep, that's right. Long-suffering Philadelphia is our Barack Obama, a story that tells us that, yes, we can. Trust me, I didn't see it coming anymore than you did but baseball, like politics, is a funny game. They both look kind of different (Obama, in fact, may have gotten his ears from the Phillie Phanatic) and neither one of them would be the obvious pick but somehow they both make it through and remain standing in the end.
World Series:
However, all of this only brings us to the final act. And this one is a doozy. The heir apparent to the fortunes of the AL East against a former also-ran from the NL East. Like McCain and Obama, both teams have the pedigree to be crowned the champions but it is a contest and, like the Higlander, there can be only one.
So, how does it end, you're probably asking? Well, although I don't expect either McCain or the Red Sox to lose their heads (HA HA HA), this is the year of the "How'd they get there?" scrappers. That's right. Get excited Philadelphia! C'mon and say it with me now: Yes, We Can!

Lets see, I like Obama but hate the Phils. I am rooting against McCain but I predicted the Red Sox would repeat. And I have mixed views on Clinton but I am rooting for the Cubs.
So if baseball and politics were really like this, I would really have to vote for Ralph Nader.
I would put a paper bag over my head if the Red Sox were to repeat… same as I would if McCain were to complete step 1 in his destruction of the U.S. program. Though… I don't think the paper bag itself could withstand that sight. Might have to move to Canada and root for the Blue Jays… which could be McCain's plan all along. That has to be it… republicans are Blue Jays fans! Lol.

Excellent post, but I have a slightly different take. I see the Red Sox as Huckabee – highly entertaining but wildly overrated. And comparing the Yankees to Reagan is a low blow indeed!
MMM, don't worry, I'm just as confused as you and I'm the one who wrote the post.
V, I don't doubt for a second that Republicans are Blue Jays fans. Although I thought it was Democrats that were supposed to hate America. Wait, I'm confused again.
J, sorry about the Reagan analogy although once I went with the AL as the GOP, it had to happen. No way I would compare them to Lincoln. No offense, though. Guess I just spent too much time too close to the Bronx.
I guess Ron Paul is gonna make a comeback then, eh! How bout that! Nice job, Al… even though you completely ignored the thrashing I gave you during the two posts previous. I get it. It's a tough pill to swallow… the Tigers that is.
The Red Sox hail from the most Democratic state–oops– commonwealth, in the country. Therefore, they are nothing but Obama, through and through. The McCain reference has me feeling a bit oily. Cut that out.

ISBE DELL e-Broadcast Newsletter 2013.249—Comprehensive Planning: Preparing for the FY15 Application for TBE/TPI/Title III Funding
The application process for FY15 TBE/TPI and Title III funds will begin soon. To review some of the changes in the process this year, the Division of English Language Learning will offer a Webinar on Monday, December 16, 2013 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
- The Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator (Part I of the application), available on IWAS beginning December 1, 2013, is much shorter this year and does not contain school level enrollment information or funding ceilings. Districts that want to apply for funds must create and submit an application on IWAS. In Part I, districts must confirm that ELL Student information on SIS has been reviewed for accuracy. The deadline for submission of Part I to ISBE is January 31, 2014.
- SIS student records determine your district's funding level. Districts are responsible for ensuring that English learner and immigrant student data on SIS is accurate and complete by March 3, 2014. Multiple data elements are used to calculate funding levels for FY15. Funding formula data will be extracted once for all districts in the state on the same date in early March. This data will be final and will generate TBE/TPI, LIPLEPS and Immigrant Education Program funding allotments that will appear in the TBE/TPI and Title III Application (Part II) on IWAS.
- The TBE/TPI and Title III Application (Part II) will be available on IWAS on May 1, 2014. It must be submitted to ISBE by June 30, 2014.
To reserve your seat for the December 16th Webinar now go to:
After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar.

Makeup Tutorial: Golden Green, Lavender, Bronze And Life Of A Bun!
Here's the makeup tutorial I promised! I wore this for the first NDP 2012 media event I attended with the bloggers, and it received plenty of compliments! It's not dramatic or OTT, in fact, it's very wearable and I would categorize it under a daily look. It's also not too difficult to create. Try it!
Have you read my second post for NDP 2012? You can see my 16-year-old face. LOL.
Eyeshadow Primer – UDPP Eden
Eyelid – Makeup Geek Shimmermint (inner 2/3); Makeup Geek Unicorn (outer 1/3)
Inner Corner – Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma
Contour Area – Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear. I really love Cocoa Bear. The warm brown really blends nicely into my skintone.
Outer V – None
Brow Bone Highlight – Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma
Lower Lash Line – Urban Decay Smog
Eyeliner – L'Oreal Color Infallible Emerald Lame; Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Liner Black Ink. I applied Emerald Lame first, then Black Ink over it so that a little Emerald Lame peeks out above Black Ink, for a more dimensional feel. Love this effect.
Eyelash Primer – Dior Diorshow Maximizer
Mascara – L'Oreal Collagene Mascara

I can no longer access the Internet, after updating Norman Security Suite June 1st 2010. (Windows XP and Vista).
Norman also prompts me to restart my computer everytime I start the computer. (Windows XP only).
Some of our customers was upgraded from Norman Security Suite version 7.3 to version 8.0 on June 1st 2010. We have gotten reports that some of these users experience the problems mentioned above. This seems to be related to some users having certain registry settings that prevents the Norman Firewall module from installing properly. This can usually be fixed by resetting the Winsock configuration to default.
If this doesn't help, please retry the steps again and make sure you get the confirmation that the Winsock Catalog has been reset.
If this still doesnt solve the problem, a last resort would be to uninstall Norman Security Suite. This will get the Internet connection back, and you can then download and reinstall Norman Security Suite again. The problem will not reappear, as the source of this problem has been identified and fixed.
Note: Uninstalling Norman Security Suite must only be done after trying the above steps! Uninstalling Norman Security Suite will not fix this problem alone.
Please contact your local support department if you have any further questions.

This peptide is histone H4 (1-25) with acetylation at Lys16 and monomethylation at Lys20, followed by a C-terminal GSGS linker and a biotinylated lysine. Lys16 is generally the first site of acetylation on histone H4. Monomethylation at Lys20 of H4 is catalyzed by PR-Set7 and concentrated in the nuclear periphery and heterochromatin of the inactive female X chromosome in vivo. Monomethylation of histone H4 at Lys20 is associated with transcriptional silent chromatin in higher eukaryotes. These two histone modifications are typically inversely correlated during the cell cycle. Provided at >95% peptide purity, this peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form.

Every year, millions of people choose January 1st as the day to begin a new life. And why not? It's a new year, and the feeling of starting over brings most of us a sense of relief. Each January, we say that this will be the year that we eat healthier foods [6], exercise [7] more, quit smoking, save money...but often, by March we have slipped from our promises to ourselves. Why is it so easy to make a New Year's resolution and yet so hard to keep it?
Don't worry-you're not the first one to have this problem. Aristotle called it akrasia, which he defined as "acting against one's better judgment." We know that eating less sugar and exercising more is good for us, and yet we find ourselves eating chocolate cake in front of the television. Current research at the University of Minnesota [8] has found that we all have a limited capacity for self-control, and the more demands there are in the consumer environment, the harder it can be to adhere to our goal of a healthier life. In short: maintaining a high level of motivation is tricky when we're surrounded by temptations.
Here are some tips to help you stick to the goal you have designed for yourself:
Check out the Create a Healthy Lifestyle [10] tool to help you design a personalized plan for improving your physical, mental, and spiritual health in the new year.

South shrugs off slow start for OVAC win
PARKERSBURG – Overcoming a quick 9-0 start by visiting Indian Creek, Parkersburg South took the lead for keeps to open the second quarter and never relinquished it the rest of the way to record a 57-54 OVAC boys basketball semifinal-playoff triumph over the Redskins Tuesday night at the Rod Oldham Athletic Center.
The win in a high-intensity, physical game propelled the now 16-3 Patriots, ranked No. 5 in Class AAA in West Virginia, into Saturday's OVAC Class 5A championship finals at 5:30 p.m. at OU-Eastern versus University, which defeated Morgantown, 52-40 in double-overtime on Tuesday.
"Our offense had to get us going tonight, not our defense," said South head coach Mike Fallon. "We needed buckets to stay in the lead to make them chase us."
But until that happened, the Patriots, the playoff second seed, had to weather a first-period offensive assault by third-seeded Indian Creek (14-6), which jumped out to a 9-0 lead, necessitating a Fallon timeout. 'We got shell-shocked early, but once we got focused again, we were OK," said Fallon.
By the close of the first quarter, South had cut the gap down to just one at 17-16. Then Wes Mitchem hit a basket 38 seconds into the second stanza, followed by a Cody Monroe field goal and a Logan Cox free throw to push the Patriots ahead 21-17. South led by as much as seven in the period, but needed a pass from Monroe to Doug Dennis streaking downcourt for a layup at the halftime horn to take a 30-24 advantage to the locker room at intermission.
The Redskins, though, gained ties at 32 and 35 in the third quarter, but both times, Mitchem canned treys to give South back a three-point edge.
Then the Patriots had to stave off a late Indian Creek threat that narrowed the gap to three with just 2:04 to play. But Mitchem backed in for a basket at 1:17 and in the final 18 seconds, the Redskins had to foul, only to see Monroe sink five of six free throws and then steal a midcourt inbounds pass with two seconds left as time ran out on the Redskins.
Mitchem led South with 22 points that was matched by Indian Creek's Alex Young. Monroe added 17 points for the Patriots as did Frank Kamarec for the Redskins.

The court then went into closed session where they discussed privately the appointment of an interim county judge to serve in that capacity until Jan. 1, 2015.
After about 30 minutes in closed session, the court reconvened and the commissioners were given the opportunity to comment. After some comments were made, Commissioner Pete Jauer made a motion to appoint Richard Butler as interim county judge, Commissioner Shelby Dupnik seconded Jauer's motion and the motioned carried unanimously. Butler is an attorney who is a shareholder with Langley and Banack -- a law firm that has an office in Karnes City. See the March 26 issue of The Karnes Countywide for a more detailed story about the meeting.

Hi folks,
I'm new around here and hope you can give me some advice. My 3 month old dd has some pretty serious feeding problems (aspiration, severe reflux) and difficulty gaining weight which means that she can't take milk directly from the breast because her feeds need to be thickened (to prevent aspiration) and fortified with formula (for extra calories). Of course, I've been devastated because I loved nursing my older child so much . And even with all of this effort, my lo is still only gaining 1-2 ounces a week, so we're in "failure to thrive" territory.
Anyway, I'm pumping for her with the hopes that she will eventually be able to grow out of her problems and can go back to nursing, at least a few feedings a day. I'm producing more than enough milk -- I pump 6 times a day and just stop when I get 8 oz, which usually takes about 5 minutes!
I'm starting to wonder if I'm not producing enough hind milk with this system. After I leave a bottle of milk in the fridge overnight, the amount of cream that precipitates to the top is generally only about .5-1 mL. Is this normal? And does anyone know of a way to increase the amount of hindmilk produced when you're exclusively pumping? I could cut back on the amount I'm pumping each day but I'm terrified of my supply dropping and then I can't get it back . . .

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYThe 1986 Mets were one of the best teams in franchise history and memorably beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Wally Backman was the team's starting second baseman that year and usually hit second as a switch-hitter behind Lenny Dykstra. Backman hit .320, his best full season average in the majors.

I thought I knew what to expect attending my first Wizard World Chicago Comic Con Sunday at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.
I pictured the day basically being me surrounded by a bunch of people in homemade costumes who would be fawning all over celebrities who may or may not had been in some straight-to-TV sci-fi movie.
I was wrong. Chicago Comic Con was so much more than that.
Here are 10 things I learned while attending my first Comic Con.
1. Give yourself more than one day if you plan to see everything. I only attended Chicago Comic Con on Sunday. I wish I would have went at least one other day if not more. There were plenty of booths that I missed with limited time available to attend on Sunday. Also, it's worth checking out the celebrity signing schedule on the show's website. Not all of the guests are there every hour of every day. Sorry, no Bruce Campbell or William Shatner for me on Sunday.
2. Be prepared to spend money. Want an autograph from Shatner? That'll be $75. But a signature from Luke Perry from "90210" is only $25. Then there's all of the comic book and sci-fi related merchandise available from the various vendors at the show. Making the decision between a furry $35 Wampa backpack or a photo with Peter Mayhew, the guy who played Chewbacca in the "Star Wars" movies, can be tough.
3.You can't bring your pet but those signing autographs can. According to the show's official website, "the only animals allowed at the show are licensed Service Animals." No big surprise there. But some celebrities and guests signing autographs brought their travel companions. Former WWE Diva and Playboy model Maryse Ouellet waited at her booth with her small dog, Flake. Jon Bernthal (Shane on "The Walking Dead") attended an afternoon question and answer session with his two dogs. Both patiently stayed under the table while Bernthal answered questions.
4. Take time to admire the work in Artist Alley. Even if you know absolutely nothing about comic books, you still can find something to appreciate in the Artist Alley. Sketches, chalk drawings, photo prints and more lined the aisles of the area. Many artists sold their work for reasonable prices.
5. It helps to have access to the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con website throughout the day. Convenient maps and schedules are provided upon entering the show. One thing missing from the maps is the cost of meeting some of the people on the floor. Autograph prices were posted on the table at the front of the line at most of the celebrity booths. That means waiting in line for several minutes, if not an hour, only to find out an actor's autograph isn't in your price range. Check the price list on the website before jumping into any lines.
6. Don't think you'll get shut out of the programming. Besides all of the tables in the exhibit space, there is programming scheduled throughout the day that includes everything from Jedi Lightsaber training to panel discussion. Lines form early for some of these sessions. It's easy to be intimidated and think there won't be enough available chairs for everybody in one room, leaving some waiting in the lobby. That's not always the case. One Comic Con volunteer informed me some of the rooms hold up to 1,400 people. But still it's worth arriving a little early just in case.
7. Norman Reedus ("The Walking Dead" and "The Boondock Saints") fishes with bacon. Reedus decided not to attend a Q and A for "The Boondock Saints" in favor of joining his co-star from "The Walking Dead," Jon Bernthal, during his program. The session included stories about ticks on a co-star's private area, shooting each other with a BB gun on set and fighting with dead squirrels. Reedus, who wore sunglasses the entire day because he's "socially awkward," told a story about how he took his son fishing for the first time during his visit to the set. The actor had never fished before and chose to use bacon as bait because "I thought everybody likes bacon." They didn't catch anything.
8. Adrianne Curry is just as much into cosplay as some of the Comic Con attendees. "America's Next Top Model" winner, reality TV star and frequent Comic Con guest Adrianne Curry Tweeted photos of her various costumes throughout the weekend. Among the outfits donned by the Joliet native at her booth were a dominatrix ensemble inspired by "Star Wars" and another resembling a character from "Tekken" video games.
9. Don't expect to show up and take photos of the celebrities signing at their booths. Large signs are posted in some of the autograph areas to discourage photographing some of the celebrities. Know where you're at when taking photos if you don't want to be turned away by a Comic Con volunteer. And don't even think about trying to take a photo of Marvel Comics mastermind Stan Lee. He was heavily guarded by green-shirted volunteers on Sunday. If you must get a photo of your favorite celeb, pony up the cash. There are plenty of photo opportunities available throughout the weekend if you have the money. Some even can be done with more than one person in the photo, making it easier to split the cost.
10. Be yourself. Wizard World Chicago Comic Con is a great place to find people just like you. Numerous times throughout the day I found myself in conversations about interests that aren't always shared by my close friends. There was no problem passing time while waiting in line for a question and answer session because everyone there had the same interests. And not once did I have to explain the "Star Wars" tattoo on my right arm.

Snow gotta go before that first throw
Just popped over to "The Maxx" to check the brackets and there's an interesting match-up going on right now.
Rays Renegade against Diatribe of a Law Student. I read both of their blogs and both are outstanding in their own way. Tough call, so in fairness I can't plug one or the other.
But I wish both of you luck.
The Rockpile Rant is up next against Eat, Sleep, Baseball. I have no idea what to expect because I had no idea I'd actually make it this far. Seems Julia's Rants, Red State Blue State and the # 1 blog (whatever it's called) are all history leaving me the only top five blog still in contention.
I don't really understand this bracket, nor do I even plan to try. It's all a crapshoot and I'm along for the interesting and controversial ride while pointing out the cool stuff🙂
We're getting ready for another potential "major" snowstorm to hit us the Denver area tonight. I'm ok with that because I'm off for the weekend and as far as I'm concerned Mother Nature needs to dump all she can because once Coors Field opens I'm not putting up with that snow bullsh*t anymore.
Oh F*ck no!
No way, not ever, never, no. April 5th is officially the cutoff for new snow (That way the snow has time to melt before the home opener on the 10th).
There's nothing quite like catching a baseball when your fingers are numb and then getting that cold finger sting from the impact of the baseball.
I suppose the runners could use snowshoes but how would you spot the baseball, wouldn't it just blend in?
You choose the caption
Here's a picture in dire need of a caption. Let's see what you got, go ahead shoot me your best shot. This ought to be good.
Still speechless, I thought that one might get you.
Thanks for making the Rockpile Rant a part of your daily web adventure.
I'm D the Rockpile Ranter and believe me when I tell you the fun is just beginning. I'll have the official rules for the sport of Hagg'n in my next entry…D
PS..Jay Cutler you can KMA you MF.

That picture is just too weird for words! I think those of us in the top 5 that were all bumped out never talked about it on our blogs. But you are going up against a Red Sox blogger! Good luck!
Here's your caption. "I'll do anything if it means that the Cubs will win the World Series"
I always try to cut snow at that point too! It doesn't work! The worse was when the Jays played on snow, and astro-turf from 1977 to 1988. Ouch!
What no love for the Cheese-It Rockpile Ranter? I thought that was original…D
Hey D,
Mmmmmmm, now the Rockpile Rant is a snack as well. That would be a good promotional tool for your blog. You could hand out bags of them at games.
My caption is "What some people will do to score tickets to the Rockies home openner."
R-LUV-NICE caption-It would be a pain in the butt to sort through all thos Cheese-Its to find the right letters. Who's with you on opening day?…D
Hey D,
Maybe you could get the company to make bags for you. I know you can get M&Ms personalized.
I'm bringing my son to the game and yes, I would be happy to do the fan profile.
I can respect that you are not taking sides in the bloggers war aka Max blog tourney.
The wild part is that Monday you are on the clock, and I know you got my vote.
Nothing wrong with staying neutral in this wild contest. Sometimes the favorite gets blown out if the water. I am truly blessed to be winning right now, but i know i was behind last night.
But it is a fun tourney just for giggles and smiles.
I can tell you I would love to go see a game in the snow, but that is just me.
As usual, you find the wildest stuff to make us smile and laugh. That photo looks like a Frat boy's nightmare/
Rays Renegade
I worry about the people in that picture. It's rather frightening. Good luck in your Max matchup. I read and love both yours and Bob's blogs, so like you in Rays' and my matchup, I can't plug one or the other. As for Jay Cutler…well, it worked out well for me since I'm a Bears fan. Really, Kyle Orton's not THAT bad. He's not Cutler, but he's not Rex Grossman if that makes you feel any better.

Job fair planned to help Plywood employeesSeptember 03,2014Job fair targets
Plywood workers
A job fair organized to help some of the 170 displaced Rutland Plywood employees will be held Friday at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town.
From noon to 3 p.m. at the conference center, roughly 20 employers from around the region will have information and applications available for about 100 full-time, part-time and temporary job positions, said Wendy Morse, regional manager of the Department of Labor.
The 70 full-time and 100 part-time and temporary employees at Rutland Plywood all lost jobs Aug. 21 when fire leveled the 84,000-square-foot plant in Rutland Town.
Rutland Plywood officials havent decided whether they will rebuild but officials have said even if the company does rebuild, it might be two years before a new plant is complete.
Normally, the Department of Labor hosts two job fairs a year in May and October, Morse said. But the fire and large-scale job loss have prompted the agency to add a third hiring session.
Morse said the companies hiring at the job fair represent a diverse cross-section of construction, manufacturing, health care and service industry businesses.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

Friday Night Fish Fry
In what has become a disturbing trend so far in this season for the Phillies, starter Brett Myers gave up 3 runs to the Marlins in the first inning tonight on a 3-run homer to Dan Uggla. Cripes, guys, what's with all the long balls? I'm getting a little tired of it, as I'm sure pitching coach Rich Dubee is, too.
The Fish retained that 3-0 lead through eight innings. Things looked bleak for the Phillies heading into the ninth, as Ryan Howard was retired to start things off. But then Jayson Werth doubled, Raul Ibanez walked, and Matt Stairs singled to drive in a run. Lou Marson walked to load the bases, but then Eric Bruntlett struck out. Next up was Jimmy Rollins, who walked to force in another run, making it 3-2. Shane Victorino picked an opportune time to have his bat awaken, as he then hit a grand slam to give the Phils a 6-3 lead. Chase Utley would add a solo shot of his own for good measure, to make it 7-3.
Ryan Madson took over in the bottom of the ninth, and though he allowed a walk and a double, he retired the side with no further scoring. Phillies win!
No crotch shots in today's newspaper – darn! Two worthy captions for yesterday's photo were submitted, they appear below.
"No, if you cover it up like this no one can see the stain"
"Hey, get that away from my best friend!!!"
Thanks to Julia of Julia's Rants for the first one, and Stanley of Phillies Red Pinstripes for the second. Thanks for having some fun with me!

Congrats on the win (Red Sox won in the 11th!!) and I love Stanley's caption!
Glad the Phillies got the better of the Marlins, especially after the rocky start. It's so frustrating when you're down early, but once the games go to the bullpen anything can happen!
Thanks for the shout out on my caption comment and thanks for the comment, Julia. I also wish the guys would stop giving up the long ball, as it is now starting to get warmer, and we know what warm air to do to baseballs once they're hit right.
Hey Sue! How are the Phillies doing today? Hope the weather in Philly is better than up here! It's so windy and we're waiting for a big storm to pass through. It's been 72 degrees, though. Never mind…the storm is here…gotta shut windows fast!!!
Thanks Julia! Yours was pretty good too!
So true, Jane. The Phillies seem to do most of their scoring late in the game so far this year.
Your welcome, Stanley! The long balls were certainly in evidence tonight, what with all that warm air.
Ginny, hope you got your windows shut in time!
Jenn, you got it! Oh happy day!

Freedom New Mexico
Veteran Eastern New Mexico University offensive coordinator Mike Howard, who underwent triple bypass surgery on Monday night in Lubbock after experiencing chest pains earlier in the day, appears to be doing well and should make a full recovery, ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo said Tuesday.
"It went well," Ribaudo said Tuesday of the surgery. "Mike's going to be fine. There was no heart damage."
Howard was on the sideline calling plays for the Greyhounds' season-opening 59-21 win over Southern Nazarene on Saturday at Blackwater Draw. ENMU piled up more than 500 total yards, with quarterback Wes Wood throwing for seven touchdowns and wide receiver Jesse Poku making 10 catches to surpass Derrick Hunter's school career record for receptions.
Ribaudo said there is no timetable for Howard's return, although it almost surely won't be this week when the Hounds visit Angelo State in a 5 p.m. Lone Star Conference crossover game on Saturday.
The coaching staff was busy Tuesday adjusting to Howard's absence. Ribaudo said offensive line coach Draco Miller will fill in as offensive coordinator.
"It's pretty tough, but we will find a way," Ribaudo said. "Coach Miller has been coaching here for the last several years, and he's been Mike's right-hand man. I have plenty of confidence in him and (outside receivers) coach (Josh) Faith."
As well as the offense played Saturday, ENMU's defense came on strong after a slow start, holding the Crimson Storm scoreless over the final 39 1/2 minutes. The Hounds limited SNU to 283 total yards and picked off five passes, including Curtis Jackson's 77-yard touchdown return for the final tally of the game.
"The defense really played well," Ribaudo said. "They had a kickoff return (of 85 yards by junior FaFa Alce to the ENMU 4) to set up one of their scores.
"I wasn't surprised. Any time you hold anybody to under 300 yards, that's a hell of a day. I thought we had that capability."

Enter the Mandala: Mental Maps and Cosmic Centers in Himalayan Buddhism
Date: Saturday, April 19, 2014
Time: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Speaker: Jeff Durham, Assistant Curator of Himalayan Art, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco
Type: Lecture
Mandalas are geometric maps of Vajrayana Buddhist visionary worlds. Appearing in both painting and sculpture, mandalas typically consist of nested squares and circles. These geometric forms define the center of the cosmos and the four cardinal directions. Minutely detailed and saturated with philosophical meaning, mandalas are a feast for the eyes and the mind. For Buddhist meditators, however, mandalas are not just images to view, but also worlds to enter. To work with a mandala, practitioners first re-create it in their mind's eye, and then imaginatively enter its world. Dr. Durham explores the possibility of re-creating this kind of experience without years of meditative discipline.
Theater | Free with admission | Stickers for ensured seating are distributed in the Main Entrance gallery starting at 3:00 p.m. Members enjoy early seating between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m.; general admission seating begins at 3:45 p.m.

Hi all, I am so glad I found these forums, lots of good advice here. I am a first time mom to a baby girl who is 2 weeks old tomorrow. We had a great natural labor and delivery and baby has been exclusively breast feeding since day one, and she is doing great, gaining weight, lots of poopie/wet diapers, but I am not..... My left nipple is inverted/flat, and my right one is normal. We got some help at the hospital from their LC with latching on the left, (she latches great on the right), and she has been able to latch on to either breast fine since day one. I have been having nipple pain on the left only since about day 2. My left nipple developed cracks and scabs/bleeding. I attributed it to just the irritation of that nipple being drawn out. I did have my Bradley instructor, who is also a LC come over when she was one week old and evaluate our latch, and since then I have been extra careful and diligent about always getting a deep latch. It is still a struggle to get a deep latch on the left at times, especially since I have really large breasts and a small baby, and it often takes several attempts to get her latched on, but once she's on she'll feed for 15-20 minutes. I noticed a slight improvement in the pain after about 2 days of really paying attention to the latch. I have been treating the cracks with breastmilk and lots of lansinoh. The past few days things have not improved at all and seem almost a little worse again. The pain is most severe at the beginning of breastfeeding, when she first latches on and lasts about a minute, then it becomes more tolerable, but it is never totally pain free like with the right breast. I can tell some of the cracks are healing, but there is still a deep crack, that bleeds sometimes right at the tip that has not gotten better, but the pain doesn't seem to come from the big crack but is more at the base of the nipple and about 1cm of the surrounding area. The whole nipple/areola area just seems to ache more. I am managing to get through feedings with lots of ibuprofen and a few tears here and there, but it is getting depressing. I want to love breastfeeding but I don't, and that is what I cry about more than the actual pain.
Other women out there who have dealt with inverted nipples, it is always this bad, or could it be something else besides my faulty anatomy that is delaying the healing process. Do I just need to exercise patience? How long did it take for you to breastfeed pain free with an inverted nipple? Any advice is much appreciated.

Barre City budgets take a hammeringStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Barre Town voter Luis Carcoba is checked in Tuesday morning by ballot clerks Gemma Argenti and John Ziske at Barre's official polling station at the Barre Auditorium.
BARRE — Officers down!
It wasn't the only Town Meeting Day casualty in Barre, but Granite City voters shot down a $10.5 million municipal budget request that included funding for two new police officers on Tuesday.
While they were at it they rejected funding for a school-based police officer and the $12.4 million budget for the elementary school where he works.
They were just warming up.
If the $12.3 million budget for Spaulding High School hadn't passed by an ever-so-sligthly wider margin in neighboring Barre Town, it would have gone down to defeat because it failed handily in Barre. Instead it passed by a whisker, 1,004-1,002, according to combined results from the two communities.
It wasn't just the big numbers that Barre voters had issues with Tuesday. They rejected requests ranging from $500 to $2,500 for four different organizations on a day when they resoundingly answered a question City Manager Steve Mackenzie had posed in recent weeks.
Mackenzie has suggested budgets — particularly the one proposed for the city — was "defensible," notwithstanding the fact that it would have triggered a near-10-cent increase in the local tax rate. However, he wondered whether it was "tolerable."
Apparently not.
Voters crushed the municipal budget, 386-752, effectively ending plans to expand the police department that advanced on a 4-3 vote of the City Council.
Mayor Thomas Lauzon, who was on the short end of that vote, said voters clearly agreed with him.
"I think we got our answer," he said, suggesting he would take proponents of the two new police positions up on their offer to drop the two new officers if the budget was defeated.
"I don't think we need a long deliberative session," he said.
Though the vote was lopsided, Lauzon said, he wasn't discouraged and took heart in the fact that voters approved an $810,000 street reconstruction and capital budget, 694-446.
"I think people do want to support their community," he said.
They picked their spots on Tuesday, rejecting the $12.4 million budget proposed for Barre City Elementary School, 483-652. As was the case with the municipal spending plan, the school budget, which reflected a 12 percent spending increase, failed in all three of the city's wards. Though the vote was much closer, the same was true of a $61,000 request to pay for a portion of a school-based police officer. That article, which has always passed easily, failed, 547-589.
School Board Chairman Lucas Herring, who also serves on the City Council, said he was doubly disappointed by the results of Tuesday's budget votes.
"I was hopeful both budgets would pass," he said, noting the fact that both spending plans failed was not unprecedented.
"I guess history repeats itself in Barre," he said.
Herring said the school board's finance committee planned to meet on Thursday to discuss how to respond to the latest budget defeat. Those conversations, he said, would likely be more complicated than the council's conversations.
"I think with the municipal budget we just cut the police officers and bring it back," he said.
The Spaulding budget dodged a bullet on Tuesday. Barre voters rejected the $12.3 million spending plan 483-642. However, voters in Barre Town approved the high school budget, 521-360. The combined results had the budget passing by just two votes, 1,004-1002.
Four other ballot items were rejected in Barre on Tuesday, though the combined savings to taxpayers was just $4,500.
Voters rejected the Family Center of Washington County's $2,500 request, 554-573, and defeated a $1,000 appropriation for Home Share Now, 473-643. They also turned down a $500 request from Our House of Central Vermont, 560-567, and another $500 request for Good Beginnings of Central Vermont, 513-607.
There were several other close calls, but no other casualties.
The only contested race in Barre was won by a sitting member of the Spaulding School Board. School Director Giuliano Cecchinelli easily defeated Romni Palmer, 659-208, in a race for a two-year seat on the Spaulding board.
Four members of the City Council — Herring, Paul Poirier, Michael Smith, and Charlie Dindo — all won re-election Tuesday, as did three members of the city's school board — Anita Ristau, Leslie Walz and John Steinman — and Spaulding School Director Veronica Foiadelli McCormick.

Saint Sigeberht of East Anglia
While exiled from East Anglia to France during the reign of King Redwald, Sigeberht converted to Christianity. He returned to East Anglia as king in 630, the first Christian king of the region. Worked with Archbishop Honorius of Canterbury and Saint Fursey to bring Christianity to his subjects. Helped found churches, schools and monasteries. After a short reign, he abdicated in favour of Ecgric and retired to become a monk. When Mercia invaded East Anglia, Sigeberht was taken against his will from his monastery to the battle field in hopes that he would rally the army; he refused to carry a weapon or fight, and was killed by the pagan King Penda of Mercia. Venerated in East Anglia as a martyr.

First Thursday: What Now?November 1st, 2012 Creekside Room - 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Just for High School Students
After high school, you go to college, right? Maybe. Hear the experiences of a firefighter, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, and a host of other people who opted not to go to a four-year college immediately after graduating high school. Find out where the road less traveled took these folks and what advice they have for you, in high school and beyond.
If all the talk about the future starts to stress you out, we'll have an array of pastries and cookies from Beth's Community Kitchen at the ready to help take your mind off of the big picture.
