To say dating can be an adventure is an understatement. If you need evidence (or a good laugh), however, just check out our staff answers to this issue's question of the week — "What was your worst date?" — on Page 10. But just because dating's an adventure doesn't mean it should be a bummer, too. To help add some diversity to your date life, such as it is, we've compiled a (not even close to exhaustive) list of options to be found in Columbus. Think of it as a Choose Your Own Date Adventure, just like that old book series we loved as kids.
For structure, we organized the options into three courses, or acts. The first part can be considered the ice-breaker, a fun chance to get to know your date a little better without all that awkward getting-to-know-you chit-chat. The middle part is dinner, because food. And the last course, or act, is the nightcap. (Of course, feel free to disregard these instructions and arrange your date in whatever fashion you'd damn well please.) We even hand-picked a few dates we'd like to go on ourselves.
Have fun! And remember, if your date still bombs, don't blame us, but please share the excruciating details.
Rivet Gallery's "Be My Valentine Group Exhibition"
+ DIY candles at Candle Lab
+ dinner at Till
+ the Bruce Munro exhibit
Total cost: Money ain't no thing for your valentine, right?
Want a more traditional Valentine's Day date? Is money not an issue? Excellent. You've come to the right place. Start your evening at Candle Lab, where you'll each make some smell-goods for the other. Walk hand-in-hand for the half-mile or so it takes to get to Rivet Gallery, where you'll peruse the corny/sweet/sadistic Valentine's cards made by local artists. Regale your love with stories of your first valentine. Laugh with your belly. Smile with your eyes. When you're done, it's time to dine like kings at Till Dynamic Fare. Go ahead, get that mac and cheese. And those cocktails. And that dessert. When you can take in no more, it's splitsies. But not with the bill. You pay for it all, dummy. It's time to head Downtown for the elegantly romantic Bruce Munro light exhibit. If you were planning to pop the question, now might be the time. It doesn't get better than this. —Justin McIntosh
Get lost at the Book Loft (free, depending on purchases)
+ hot dogs at Dirty Frank's ($6)
+ coffee and people watching at One Line Coffee in the Short North ($5)
Total cost: $11 (give or take)
It's totally possible to spend an afternoon on the town without spending yourself out of house and home. Start the day in German Village's labyrinth-like Book Loft, a sprawling-yet-carefully organized reader's mecca. Since you'll be saving money the rest of the date, go ahead and spring for a book or two (paperback, of course). We'd recommend grabbing any of the myriad "Calvin & Hobbes" collections to gear up for the upcoming Bill Watterson exhibition at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. After that, head Downtown to Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace, where wieners are available starting at just $3, and order up a dog with your favorite toppings (we'll take ours with a healthy slathering of mustard). Cap the night with a dark, aromatic cup of coffee and some primo people watching at One Line Coffee in the Short North. —Andy Downing
"FFN's Date Night" at MadLab Theatre ($20)
+ Romantic dinner at Third & Hollywood ($60-$100)
+ Reliving childhood with toys at Big Fun ($1-$10)
Total cost: ($81-$130)
Planning the perfect date is totally subjective to the couple, but a good general rule is to make sure it's a lot of fun. Another good idea is to make sure there's some excellent food. So start with the fun, charming, slightly irreverent "FFN's Date Night," a play inspired by the audience's best/worst true dating stories, that's ideal for those looking to eschew the Hallmark holiday-ness this weekend. To add an element of (requisite) romance, swing by Third & Hollywood where upscale meals are served in a cozy, dimly-lit atmosphere for a relaxed and intimate dinner. Plus, the extensive wine list and classic cocktails will surely take the edge off, generating carefree conversation for first-daters. Wrap up with a stop at Big Fun, a shop with a host of retro toys (for boys and girls), perfect for making judgments about your date based on his or her favorite childhood toys. If you were a "Star Wars" kid, you've got good heart. Barbie, she's a princess. My Little Pony and/or TMNT — sexual dynamo! Make sure to commemorate the date with snapshots in the photo booth for a buck. —Jesse Tigges
Trapped in a Room with a Zombie ($28 per person)
+ dinner and drinks at Strongwater Food and Spirits ($30-$50 for two)
+ drinks and random entertainment at Rehab Tavern ($10)
Total cost: $100-120
Don't think of Franklinton as a date destination? Think again. Start off the night by challenging your brain and your survival instincts with the new Trapped In a Room with a Zombie adventure at the Columbus Idea Foundry. A big hit in Chicago, it's a fun update on those dinner theater murder mysteries, only with a zombie ($28 per person, roomescapeadventures.com/columbus). Then grab dinner and a drink at Strongwater Food and Spirits. If one of you loves meat and the other is vegan, it's the best place in town for you both to be satisfied. Slip across the street for a nightcap at Rehab Tavern, where you may stumble upon anything from hip-hop karaoke to a string instrument performance. —Brad Keefe
North Market for the Fiery Foods Festival ($0-$20) + Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons at Natalie's Coal-Fired Pizza ($10 +drinks) + "Shaun of The Dead" screening hosted by Nina West at The Gateway Film Center ($10)
Total cost: $30-$60
"The Notebook" was a dirty, dirty lie, and I am glad you recognize it too. There's a reason every movie made about Valentine's Day is awful. It's not just because of the trite storyline and cliche characters, it's because Valentine's Day is genuinely awful. Instead of doing the "romantic dinner for two" thing (which, by the way, never lives up to expectations), find something that you both might actually like at The North Market's Fiery Foods Festival. There's no cover for the event, and even if your date doesn't do spicy, all the North Market mainstays are on hand. Then head to Natalie's Coal-Fired Pizza in Worthington to see Angela Perley and The Howlin' Moons shake the stage. Once the ringing in your ears stops on Sunday, and you have sufficiently nursed your hangover, end Valentine's Day weekend the way God intended: With drag queens and flesh-eating zombies at the screening of "Shaun of The Dead" hosted by Nina West at The Gateway Film Center. —Abernathy Miller

.pkgmeta file
==Location of the file== For your repositories, you can put a '.pkgmeta' file in to provide extra information. Yes, that is a dot followed by 'pkgmeta'. .pkgmeta is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML|YAML]] file that goes in the root of your repository project folder. This means /trunk/.pkgmeta for SVN users and /.pkgmeta for Git and Hg users. **Remember to use spaces instead of tabs for indentation in the file** Your .pkgmeta file, if it exists, will be validated when you commit. ===Creating the file=== On some OSes (Windows for example) it is a bit more difficult to create this file. In order for you to create the file correctly you will need to use a Command Prompt Window and use quotations around the file name. A simple mechanism to create this file is to follow these steps: # In Windows Explorer, create a new text document. You can name it to whatever you want, lets call it //foo.txt//. # Go to the **Start Menu**, then to **Run** and type in **cmd**. This will open up a command window. # Navigate to where //foo.txt// is saved using the **cd** command (ie: **cd c:\My Documents\**) # Type in the following to rename //foo.txt// to //.pkgmeta//: **move foo.txt ".pkgmeta"** ==Specifying externals== Externals are specified by providing the ##externals## header and key-value pairs for the local path to the remote repository. Example: <> externals: libs/LibStub: url: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/libstub/mainline/trunk tag: latest libs/CallbackHandler-1.0: url: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/callbackhandler/mainline/trunk/CallbackHandler-1.0 tag: latest libs/LibMonkey-1.0: svn://svn.curseforge.net/wow/libmonkey-1-0/mainline/trunk libs/LibBanana-1.0: url: git://git.curseforge.net/wow/libbanana-1-0/mainline.git tag: 1.2 libs/LibSuit-2.0: url: http://hg.curseforge.net/wow/libsuit-2-0/mainline <> In this example, LibMonkey and LibSuit will be packaged with the latest version available, LibStub and CallbackHandler will be packaged with the latest tag available, and LibBanana will be packaged with tag 1.2 always. You do not need to have an empty libs folder for the above example to work, it will be created for you. Unlike svn:externals, you can specify any repository type, be it svn, git, or hg. Note: Your remote paths will be validated to check if they exist when you commit. This may cause you to wait a few moments. === Why not just use svn:externals? === The main reason to not use svn:externals is that since curseforge provides SVN, Git, and Hg support, .pkgmeta is an easy way to support all three equally. Also, svn:externals can only refer to other subversion repositories, whereas with .pkgmeta, there is nothing stopping you from referencing repositories of unlike types. == Moving folders around with the packager == There is a way to move folders by specifying in .pkgmeta. This is useful if you want to essentially have two addons in one game, particularly if one is a module of the other, e.g. Monkey and Monkey_Suit. Suit is inside the Monkey project, but can move out and be its own addon with .pkgmeta. Example: <> move-folders: Monkey/Modules/Suit: Monkey_Suit Monkey/Modules/Hat: Monkey_Hat <> For clarity, it is ##Source: Destination##. As you can see, unlike other portions, you have to specify your addon's name, as this allows you to create modules. == Ignoring folders or files == To make the packager ignore files, you can easily do so by making an ignore header with filepaths underneath Example: <> ignore: - Scripts # ignore the scripts folder - Some/File.txt # ignore a specific file <> It is to be assumed that this takes place before moving folders around with the move-folders header. == Changing the package name == Instead of using the "Package as" box on your repository, you can specify this in your .pkgmeta file as well. Example: <> package-as: Monkey <> == Specifying dependencies == To specify dependencies that will show on the site and also through the Curse Client, you can do so with the required-dependencies and optional-dependencies headers Example: <> required-dependencies: - monkey-town # same as monkey-town/mainline optional-dependencies: - monkey-city <> This will not add anything to any files in your zip. The list consists of the short names of projects or project/repository combos. == Tools used == If you want to specify that you used a tool that is not a library, but would like people to know that it was used, and for it to receive points for the Author Rewards Program, you can do so with the tools-used header. Example: <> tools-used: - data-tools # same as data-tools/mainline <> ==Manual changelog== If you want to make your own changelog manually rather than having one automatically generated for you, that's possible with the following specification: <> manual-changelog: CHANGELOG.txt <> You can specify any filepath you want. If it cannot be found, the automatic changelog will still be created. ==License output== If you want your project's license to be automatically included with your zip, you can specify it with license-output. <> license-output: LICENSE.txt <> You can specify any filepath you want. ==Why call it .pkgmeta?== It's a nice, neutral name. We didn't want something curseforge-specific, in case anyone else decides to implement it. Also, since we don't want to limit it to just external definitions, we went for something more generic than .externals == Full Example == <> package-as: Monkey externals: libs/LibStub: url: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/libstub/mainline/trunk tag: latest libs/CallbackHandler-1.0: url: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/callbackhandler/mainline/trunk/CallbackHandler-1.0 tag: latest libs/LibMonkey-1.0: svn://svn.curseforge.net/wow/libmonkey-1-0/mainline/trunk libs/LibBanana-1.0: url: git://git.curseforge.net/wow/libbanana-1-0/mainline.git tag: 1.2 libs/LibSuit-2.0: url: http://hg.curseforge.net/wow/libsuit-2-0/mainline move-folders: Monkey/Modules/Suit: Monkey_Suit Monkey/Modules/Hat: Monkey_Hat ignore: - Scripts # ignore the scripts folder - Some/File.txt # ignore a specific file required-dependencies: - monkey-town optional-dependencies: - monkey-city manual-changelog: CHANGELOG.txt license-output: LICENSE.txt tools-used: - data-tools # same as data-tools/mainline <>

January Cyclist of the Month: Yvette Rhoton
Happy new year everyone. Â For those of you with a cycling-related New Year's resolution – start riding more, give bike commuting a try, start riding period – you need look no further than January's cyclist of the month for inspiration. Â Yvette Rhoton is a registered nurse who lives in Midtown and bikes to work from her home. Â She also is an avid mountain biker, which is made more impressive by the fact that she's 55 years old. Â (That's the get-off-your-ass part of the interview.) Â Keep reading to found out more about Yvette's experiences biking in and around Memphis.
1. I understand that you're a commuter cyclist as well as an avid mountain biker. Those are quite different types of cycling. Which one did you start doing first? What led you to start biking to begin with?
I have a friend who does both; he actually found my first bike on the curb, a Nishiki mountain bike that was being discarded. We built it up and made it mine. I started mountain biking first..commuting came much later–after I bought my house in Midtown.
2. I've actually never been off-road biking before, unless you count a short ride on a trail in Shelby Farms, which I don't. Where are your favorite places to go off road? Any recommendations for a newbie?
My very favorite place in the world is in North Carolina–it's called the Tsali Recreation Area near Robbinsville. Four mountain bike trails in two sections–they are shared trails with hikers and horses and they have alternating usage days so you aren't sharing the trail with a horse. There is a campground on site with around 40-50 sites…so once you are there you don't have to drive to the trail heads. It sits on Fontana Lake. If you ever saw the movie "Nell" with Jodie Foster you were looking at 'my' lake. The movie was filmed in that area so it gives you a pretty good idea what the area is like.
Around Memphis I ride the Wolf River Trails, the Tour De Wolf (although it's horribly eroded) and believe it or not the trails at Overton Park are a blast to ride. Not long or technical…just fun. And that makes it a good place for newbies. But I gotta warn ya–once ya start, you'll be hooked. 🙂
3. Where do you most like to bike around town? Are there any favorite routes or neighborhoods you have?
I love riding in Midtown and downtown. Riding along railroad tracks is another crazy fun thing to do. I like to ride the alleys of Midtown as fast as I can, especially on rainy spring and summer days. And early in the morning you can really get dogs stirred up! As you can see, road riding isn't my first choice.
4. On a scale of one to ten, how awesome is the Shelby Farms Greenline?
I'll give it a ten, but I don't really ride it very much. It's a great way to get to Shelby farms, but it's more of a place for people to ride that don't want to ride – or are afraid to ride – on the streets. For me it's a route to a destination and not a destination in itself.
5.  Madison Avenue has recently been repaved and prepared for the installation of bike lanes. What are your thoughts on the controversy that surrounded these lanes?
Those bike lanes scare me. Cars here don't respect us and the bike lanes really take people by surprise. I have seen cars just driving merrily along in the bike/parking lanes … scary. On the other hand, the fact that any business would have a problem with sharing with us just doesn't make sense. I wish Memphis would look at the world at large and see what can be done. Check out Boulder, CO or Portland, OR. They know what they're doing.
6. If you woke up one morning as the mayor of Memphis, what would you do in that day to further the cause of making Memphis a more bike-friendly town?
Signs, signs, and more signs. And by signs I mean 'bike lane' and 'yield to bikes' etc. Public service announcements on TV. And then I would require every police officer to attend a class on bike laws and insist they give tickets to drivers who endanger a cyclist. I would also ticket cyclists for riding against traffic (DANGEROUS!!!), and for violating other traffic laws. Let's be fair after all.
7. Do you run any errands on your bike? If so, how do you handle cargo? Have you invested in any panniers?
I have small Trek panniers for going to work and Banjo Brothers grocery panniers for grocery shopping. I can get one good grocery bags worth in each pannier and if necessary can bungee cord soda to the rack. Then there is always my backpack. You can actually get quite a bit of groceries that way.
8. Where do you go for information about bike commuting? Are there websites you consult? What about friends in the area who are experienced cyclists?
Nowhere really. I mean I follow all sorts of online stuff, but getting on my bike in the morning to go to work has become as natural to me as driving is to most people. Haven't really felt a need to 'get more info' so to speak.
9. Have you had any fun cycling adventures, like riding from Shelby Farms to downtown or from midtown to T. O. Fuller State Park?
I have had all sorts of adventures. The best ones are usually when I just set out alone and ride. In the summer it's awesome to get up real early on a Sunday morning and take off; no traffic, quite. I'll ride my mountain bike down to the river, cross over the Auction Street bridge and then ride down the bank to the river (that's why I gotta have fat tires). I am always looking for an alternate off road route when I am riding. But I will admit to owning a road bike, and to even having rode it to the general store at Shelby Forest several times!
10. What kind of bike do you have? Are there any biking accessories you can't live without?
Two mountain and one road; all old school steel frame bikes. The original mountain bike is now my commuter and my baby is an old school Schwinn Paramount. Prettiest damn bike in the world. Bike accessory I can't live without….fanny pack for carrying my tools in case of a flat or a broken chain..and I have a pump that fits in the fanny pack.
11. What about drivers in Memphis? How friendly are they to commuter cyclists?
I will say most drivers are OK–but I have had my share of idiots…the people that lay on their horns and then gun past you real fast like they are some bad ass…I mean–am I really causing you such a hardship? Do you really think you're impressing me by your speed? Cause dude I'm on a bike–you're in a car—you're supposed to go faster—but I bet my legs are stronger! Ha Ha!
12. Any other stories you'd like to share?
I learned how to bunny hop. Might only be 5 inches of air but it feels like 2 feet!  Seriously—mountain biking is incredible. And did I mention I was 44 when I started? yeah–I'm 55 now and going strong. No excuse Memphis! Get out and ride:)
I couldn't have put it better myself, Yvette. Â Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Brother Printer Does So Much, But Isn't Easy
It's not enough that such small-biz printing giants as H-P(HPQ) , Canon(CAJ) and Epson can't seem to get a media word in edgewise with Apple(AAPL) hyping this or that version of the iPad, Google(GOOG) getting into business laptops and Research In Motion (RIMM) finally taking the wraps off its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, coming in a few weeks to Best Buy (BBY) . These days, printer heavies also face a brutal commoditization wave. Low-end imaging companies just keeping baking once one big-company-only features, such as Wi-Fi, Web access and PC-less printing, into ever cheaper printers.
|Brother International's MFC-9970CDW multifunction small-business laser printer is flawed, but does so much right that buying a business desktop printer may never be the same.
Take Brother International's MFC-9970CDW multifunction small-business laser printer, $579 via Amazon.com(AMZN) . While far from perfect, this scanner/printer/faxer/copier does so much right that buying a business desktop printer will probably never be the same.
What you get
This is a simply ridiculous printer at a simply ridiculous price.
The 9970 is so feature packed it's hard to get your brain around the thing. The 9970 is not a low-cost inkjet, nor a midpriced laser jet. This thing is a full on, in-your-face laser printer, like what you see in FedEx(FDX) Office -- except that it is the size of a biggish microwave oven and costs less than some phone bills. And as you would expect, lots of big-machine imaging features are in full effect: Not just 30-page-per-minute printing for both color and black and white. Oh no. This sucker boots up to print in less than six seconds, has a document feeder that can process 20 pages in less than 30 seconds and smokes just about every faxing, scanning and printing test I assigned it. The thing supports sophisticated wired and wireless network printing, direct imaging, slick instant duplex printing and a ton more. And check out the scanner: 50 pages in one job. Wooh!
But the real mind-boggler is the printing cost per page: The high-yield black cartridge, which claims a ridiculous 6,000(!) page capacity, costs just $77 each at Amazon. (Sorry, I love my job but I'm not printing 6,000 pages to test this.) So let's assume that claim is only half true -- that still grosses up to two cents a page. P/> Are you kidding me?
What you don't get
The 9970 falls short of first-line, top-drawer functionality.
Sadly, the unit is not imported from Hogwarts School of Desktop Printer Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is not magic. The printer achieves all this marvelous functionality at a clear cost; Brother is not a shop that invests in slick engineering, so an Apple iMac this thing is not. Setup, while perfectly manageable, is supported by a manual that makes Google Translate look like Ernest Hemingway. Printing quality is not firstrate. On-screen menus are clunky, and so is finagling the replacement cartridges. But the real bummer? Network access. Yes, the printer does support Wi-Fi, but you'd better be ready to mess with firewalls, IP addresses and other heavy bits of tech wonkiness.

I have not been blogging for a long time. I started this "happyincle" thing two years ago as a testament of my love for the city of CLE and all the wonderful people, places and things that surround me on a daily basis. But as of late, I have become distracted, unamused and uninterested. I do not write blog posts as much as I used too, which may have to do with the fact that Cleveland-centric posts and articles are simply everywhere. Depending on who you are following on Twitter or Instagram, who your friends are on Facebook or what topics you are reading on local blogs, it has become a repetitive series of events, places and news.
While all this cheerleading is a positive thing, I personally find it difficult to come up with interesting topics of discussion. You can only read so many blog posts, tweets and status updates discussing the same exact content. Everyone who knows me has a clear understanding that I love this city. Just look at my Foursquare check-ins and Twitter feed — I support this city by frequenting local restaurants and shops, volunteering on non-profit organizations and owning a home in the city. I think I have made it clear that I am happy in CLE.
So on this two-year mark, I think I am going to switch gears a bit and do a little remodeling. I will still support this city and all its riches, but instead of being tied down to one category, I would prefer to discuss other topics that may bring upon happiness, sadness, intrigue, beauty, laughter, disgust and wonder (whoa…that just got deep).
Now my next question becomes…what will my new blog name/web address be???
To be continued…

Maybe we stop to look around for that familiar face from our own childhood, even though those days are long gone. Rather than hearing, "Luke, I'm your father," and the scream of acknowledgement afterwards, we think, "I've become my (mother/father)," and the shocking silence that ensues.
You swore an oath as a child that you would never say the words or you would think of better ways to deal with a circumstance, but suddenly a bright light shines into the recesses of your brain … could your parents have been right after all?
Nah! No, definitely not! We find ourselves in a Mark Twain situation in which we have said that we couldn't believe how ignorant our parents were while we were young, and for him that was 14, but in the next seven years, his dad had grown in his wisdom- exponentially, I imagine.
Parents! They are placed in a position of authority over us by God like teachers, police, and grandparents. Being like them or not is not the issue. Following their rules, learning and growing is the issue.
No matter what we say, do, or think about the ways in which we are reared, our parents leave a mark on us for good or bad. Something I have learned over the years, and, thankfully, I had the chance to tell my dad before he passed away, I appreciated all that he did for me. I know he did the best he could with what he had to provide for all seven of us children.
I know we were a handful. I could make no mistakes that hadn't already been done by an older brother or sister. Of course, being the middle daughter, I didn't get the intense attention of the older or the adoration of the younger, but I think I fared much better out of the three of us … although, I could be wrong about that.
Regardless, being like our parents is not the worst thing that could happen to us. Never learning from our past or staying there in the past is far worse in my estimation.
We see nothing but disappointment or despair in the here and now. Here, too, I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I could think about the scripture that speaks of rather than storing up treasures here we must store up treasures in heaven as a forward-thinking response to life. I think, instead, of making myself more and more like my heavenly father.
"Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." (Psalm 119:11)
I want Him to be so ingrained that His words are my life. I have such a long way to go to get there!

The sugar cane growers are sucking the water out of the lake and feeding thier cane with it then letting it run back into lake. I am assuming that there is a percentage of insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers. The fertilizers are making the algea grow, of course. The fish and lillypads are dying and floating about in great chunks. There are Plocasomus everywhere and they are huge. The gators are everywhere also.....but the fish. Well biggest bass I caught was just legal at 18 inches, not bad but, there should be many more fish than this. Species are dying and it is called the countdown to extinction. Now that the gulf stream is gone and i am sure there are things happening we don't even know about, but I am sure this might have something to do with it.

A 29-year-old man charged with first-degree negligent homicide in connection with a crash in Wahiawa early Sunday morning that killed a man appeared in court Tuesday.
Donald Halleron is being held on $200,000 bail. He was also charged with drunken driving, driving without a license and two contempt counts.
Police say four cars were involved in the collision with one car badly burned after it caught on fire. The driver of the car was burned beyond recognition and pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other people were hospitalized in serious condition. Four others were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
"From what we understand, vehicles were on the shoulder waiting out the tsunami. The white pickup truck came at a high rate of speed," said Lt. Bobby Towne of the HPD Traffic Division.
Investigators say alcohol may have also played a factor in the crash.
This was the 51st traffic fatality on Oahu compared with 46 at the same time last year.
Halleron is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on Thursday.

Abstract #1011 -- Inhibition of Lymphocyte Trafficking Using a CCR5 Antagonist Final Results of a Phase I/II Study.
(SAN DIEGO) -- An HIV drug that redirects immune cell traffic appears to significantly reduce the dangerous complication graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in blood cancer patients following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that will be presented today at the 53rd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting. Standard GvHD treatments suppress the immune system, reducing – but not eliminating – the risk of developing the common problem. In the current trial, treatment with the HIV drug maraviroc dramatically reduced the incidence of GvHD in organs where it is most dangerous -- without compromising the immune system and leaving patients more vulnerable to severe infections.
"There hasn't been a change to the standard of care for GvHD since the late 1980s, so we're very excited about these results, which exceeded our expectations," says Ran Reshef, MD, an assistant professor in the division of Hematology-Oncology and a member of the Hematologic Malignancies Research Program at Penn's Abramson Cancer Center. "Until now, we thought that only extreme suppression of the immune system can get rid of GvHD, but in this approach we are not killing immune cells or suppressing their activity, we are just preventing them from moving into certain sensitive organs that they could harm."
Reshef and colleagues will present results showing that maraviroc is safe and feasible in ASCT patients – those who receive stem cells from a healthy donor -- and that a brief course of the drug led to a 73 percent reduction in severe GvHD in the first six months after transplant, compared with a matched control group treated at Penn during the same time period (6 percent developed severe GvHD vs. 22 percent, respectively).
"Just like in real estate, immune responses are all about location, location, location," Reshef says. "Cells of the immune system don't move around the body in a random way. There is a very distinct and well orchestrated process whereby cells express particular receptors on their surface that allow them to respond to small proteins called chemokines. The chemokines direct the immune cells to specific organs, where they are needed, or in the case of GvHD, to where they cause damage."
Thirty-eight patients with blood cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, myelofibrosis, and others, enrolled in the phase I/II trial. All patients received the standard GvHD prevention drugs tacrolimus and methotrexate, plus a 33-day course of maraviroc that began two days before transplant. In the first 100 days after transplant, none of the patients treated with maraviroc developed GvHD in the gut or liver. By contrast, 12.5 percent of patients in the control group developed GvHD in the gut and 8.3 percent developed it in the liver within 100 days of their transplant.
The differential impact of maraviroc on those organs indicates that the drug is working as expected, by limiting the movement of T lymphocytes to specific organs in the body. Maraviroc works by blocking the CCR5 receptor on lymphocytes, preventing the cells from trafficking to certain organs. The researchers saw no effect on skin GvHD, so they theorize that the CCR5 receptor might be more important for sending lymphocytes into the liver and the gut than for the skin.
After 180 days, the benefit of maraviroc appeared to be partially sustained in patients and the cumulative incidence of gut and liver GvHD rose only to 8.8 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. The cumulative incidence in the control group, however, remained higher, at 28.4 percent for gut and 14.8 percent for liver GvHD. Based on those data, the research team plans to try a longer treatment regimen with maraviroc to see if they could prolong the protective effect.
Maraviroc treatment did not appear to increase treatment-related toxicities in these patients, nor did it alter the relapse rate of their underlying disease.
David Porter, MD, professor of Medicine and director of Blood and Marrow Transplantation in the Abramson Cancer Center, and Robert Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, associate professor of Medicine and Associate Director for Translational Research at the Abramson Cancer Center, are the senior authors of the study.
Funding support for this investigator-initiated trial comes from Pfizer, the makers of maraviroc, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the American Society of Hematology, and the National Institutes of Health (K24-CA117879).
The findings will be presented at 8:30 AM PST on Tuesday, December 13, in the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego's Douglas Pavilion A.

Dress-Up at Uncle Jeffy's
Just because the Thanksgiving holiday is officially over doesn't mean we should stop giving thanks; and today, dear readers, I am thankful that my family got to spend these precious sunny days off with me in my home.
I've written about the blessings of my nephew Caleb before. I've also mentioned the potential baseball family divide inherent in his parenting (his mom/my sister is a Cardinals fan, his dad a Cubs fan). But when it comes to raising a fine young boy, I don't doubt those two's combined credentials at all — even if one day he does decide to don a blue cap with a red "C" on it.
But y'all know me. And I wouldn't be me if I didn't try to persuade this youth to the best of my abilities now, while I have the chance. That's why the second his daddy stepped out of the house, I immediately began preaching to Caleb the wondrous merits of one Yadier Molina. So impressed was Caleb that he decided he'd like to take it a step further. So we did:
Like I thought, once he put on that jersey and that interlocking "STL", the kid was just beside himself. He couldn't stop dancing for joy! He moved so much that my camera couldn't get a solid, non-blurry picture of him, but still, you get the point.
Hate me 'cuz I lobby for the Redbirds on impressionable youth, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
10 Comments
Very smart, Jeff. Get 'em while they're young and impressionable. I have no doubt he'll follow in your footsteps and become a Cardinals fan. He looks adorable in the gear!
I can't imagine how you're corrupting this kid. That's why you're Underboss.
Jane — Isn't he though! I hope he does become a Cardinal fanatic, but the chances are slim.
Prince — Haha. You know me well.
Really love reading your articles. You have talent. I also have an offer for you though. Don't take this as spam or anything, but I have a baseball forum going on right now, and would love for you to join and share your articles etc. We also have a writing team going on where your articles will be posted on bleacher report etc.
URL is http://baseballhaven.net/index.php register and post around etc. If you are interested in being on the writing team, PM The Brew Crew. Have fun on the site as well.
I will, Julia.
Poor kids is going to be scared for life, is there none around this child that can help him see the what is happening to him… at least he'll have freedom of choice when he gets older, lets hope he still has an open mind then…. yeah and that's camera shake from withdrawal symptoms, withdrawal from what is yet to be seen…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter — Surprisingly, he seems to be on both sides of the fence now, reacting more to whomever holds the cookie jar rather than team apparel. But there is hope… for both sides… for now😉
With his Papa, Mom, Aunts and Uncles on the side of the REDBIRD NATION I don't think his Dad is going to be able to turn him to the DARKSIDE. Only time will tell……
Baba, I hope you're right but I think you'll be wrong cuz you know, I'm always right. LOL.

Arroyo, who leads the Arizona Diamondbacks in victories, won his third consecutive game Sunday by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-3.
The right-hander induced 10 groundouts in five innings, allowed one run and five hits, and finished with one walk and one strikeout. But intense and lingering elbow pain limited Arroyo to 78 pitches.
"He's hurting," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Obviously, today you could tell. He was on reserves and using every bit of knowledge and wisdom he could to get through five innings for us.
"When he came in after the fifth inning, he said he was done. He couldn't do anymore. I'm not sure he's going to be able to make his next start."
Arroyo, 37, began experiencing elbow pain May 13, when he defeated Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg.
"The last four or five outings, it's just slowly sliding downhill," Arroyo said. "The last three, how I won all three, I have no idea. It's been tough the last three games not knowing if I can get back out there inning by inning."
"I've pitched through this in the past, but it's as bad as it's ever been."
The pain is eroding Arroyo's velocity, which was deteriorating before the injury.
"When I was throwing 83-87 mph, it was manageable," the 12-year veteran said. "But I'm throwing the ball 80-84 -- and 84 is when I'm sexy, you know, which is ridiculous. It's just too difficult to get big-league hitters out with that velocity time and time and time again."
Arroyo and Gibson said that the pitcher will receive an MRI soon, then discuss their next move. But Arroyo -- who won the World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 -- sees the end of his career approaching with supersonic speed.
"It's just getting to the point where there's too much pain," the right-hander said. "I've got 17 more starts, or something like that, and I can't continue doing this for that long.
"I've been trying to avoid this for 20 years but I'll be facing the inevitable for the first time in two decades."

Well part of the chaos has to do with a quick trip that my sis and I are making over the 4th to see our McPherson aunties. Now what that has to do with my messy desk centers around one of my reasons to see the aunties. I need to finish my series on my family of Jabezes, of which my grandfather was one of the Jabez Burns McPherson. I spent a while this weekend printing out every picture that I have of my grandfather and grandmother and put them in what I think is chronological order. That may or may not be so. What I am really hoping for is some new stories of their family life and of my grandparents. At the very least, I have a pictorial history of my grandfather --- and an inkling of the totality of the man. I always hope for more --- wish I had asked more questions of my grandparents, aunts and uncles -- but what I have is what I have.
A week after I return from Redding and the aunties, my daughter and I leave for our TREK. The reason for going is a Foss family reunion in Wisconsin. However, road trips like this take on a life of their own. The girl wants to see every national park between here and Wisconsin. We are both history nuts so the Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark's path across the country intrigue us --- and take us off of a straight path to Madison. Then there are cemeteries and places that family lived, loved, and talked about. How could we miss those.
Now those are the plans -- my job is to get everything I need organized and packed.
O, forgot to mention, we are also traveling with my ever constant companion, Colldubh --- a very large, black german shepherd. Goodness knows, I might be saying the same things next Sunday, as the countdown progresses.

In the book Eat Pray Love, the author says that every city has a word that describes it. For her, Rome's word was sex (because of the sexy people, sexy clothes, sexy art, Venice, passion, etc, etc.). I agree that places and people can be summed up in one word.
When I first came to Atlanta, I would have said that Atlanta's word is glamour. Atlanta and its people seem to thrive on the new, the shiny, the glitzy. Atlanta is a town that seems in a constant state of renewal. It tears itself down, and rebuilds itself into the newest thing. I often walk through the halls of Atlanta malls and feel underdressed because so many people dress like they are on their way to a music video set or a night club or a movie premiere. Designer clothes, fancy shoes, well-coifed hair; Atlantans are beautiful.
Now having lived in Atlanta for a year now, I've adjusted my word for Atlanta. Don't get me wrong, I still think that Atlanta and its inhabitants are glamorous, but I know it is more than that. Atlanta is more than glamour. Atlanta is about style. Atlanta is trendy in a lot of ways, chasing the newest hip "it" thing, but I've never known a group of people better able to transform normal shirts, skirts, dresses and pants into a fashion statement. The city oozes artistic creativity and its people believe in expressing their personal creative style. Sometimes that means sequins and heels. Other times that means afros, sun dresses, and colorful tattoos. Or locs, ripped jeans and chains. Or bald heads, pencil skirts and ruffles. Either way, it looks so cool!
While creativity, at times, starts with a blank canvas when it comes to clothes, you have to buy them somewhere. How hard would it be to express your personal style while wearing clothes that are sold in chains like NY and Company, Macys, Aeropostale, H&M or Charlotte Russe? Pretty hard. That's why Atlanta's uber fabulous boutiques, regional chains, (and those who write about Atlanta style) and online marketplaces are so important. So when I saw my old college friend posting her unique handmade clothes and accessories on Etsy and Facebook, I wholeheartedly approved. Here's to finding more ways to express my own Atlanta style.

Yes the AM antenna mast is elliptical. Just a note, I've seen original cars come with the tip lined and without a line. There was discussion that the replacement antennas did not have the line on the tip, but believe they came both ways.
I'd be interested in knowing if 1967RS/SS's tip is a replacement or original? I've seen several of those "screw tips" on a variety of cars.

DALLAS â One bogey-free round is an amazing feat. Two bogey-free rounds are rare; especially when they are back-to-back. Charlie Holland of Dallas, and Will Osborne of Wichita Falls, Texas, have managed to do just that after two rounds at the Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship. Dallas-native Lila Barton and Sydney Burlison of Salinas, Calif., posted a 3-under-par 68 to finish the second round with a seven-stroke lead.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship is being held at Northwood Club in Dallas, the site of the 1952 U.S. Open. The 54-hole event features 72 players from 11 states and Mexico, including 48 players from Texas.The players competed in a four-ball format, under which each player plays his/her own ball throughout the hole. Upon completion of the hole, the team then takes the best ball of the two scores.Osborne and Holland, winners of the 2003 Justin Leonard/Deloitte Junior Team Championship, took advantage of their experience as a tandem to put together a bogey-free round for the second day in a row.âCharlie was playing really well today,â said Osborne. âHe had six birdies and was putting really well.âThe team recorded birdies on Nos. 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 14 and 15 to finish with a 7-under-par 64 in the round. Combined with their 65 in the first round, the duo finished the day with a three-stroke lead in the Boys Division.âTomorrow we are going to have to hit some fairways - weâve got to keep the ball in play,â said Holland. âItâs going to be tough tomorrow with alternate shot,â said Osborne. âBut we can find a way,â Holland chimed in.Coming in behind Holland & Osborne with a 10-under-par 132 were Garrett Merrell and Paul Haley, both of Dallas. Merrell & Haley also carded a bogey-free 7-under-par 64 in the second round.Rounding out the top five in the Boys Division were Jon McLean of Weston, Fla., and Tom Miles of Dublin, Ohio; Kevin Schultz of Richardson, Texas, and Trent Leon of Dallas; and Christopher Ward of McKinney, Texas, and Jordan Cox of Redwood City, Calif., all finishing the second round at 8-under-par 134.In the Girls Division, the team of Barton and Burlison carded a 3-under-par 68 in the second round to extend their lead to seven strokes.âWe played our own game today,â said Burlison. âWe played as if we were playing against each other so that we would not put any pressure on each other.â The pair had only one bogey during the round while carding four birdies.âWe get along really well and we have really similar games,â said Barton. âTomorrow we are going to try to hit the best shots that we can and go out and make a lot of pars.ââOur plan is to play consistent in the final round and try not to leave each other hanging after a shot,â Burlison said. Trailing Barton and Burlison are Katy Barrett of Las Vegas, and Brooke Todare of Paradise Valley, Ariz., with a 2-over-par 144. The team of Lindsay Cullen of Allen, Texas, and Alexandrea Schulte of Broken Arrow, Okla., along with Sarah and Andrea Zwartynski of Allen, Texas, are currently tied for third with 3-over-par 145s.

Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation: Different Kinds of Water Pouring Into a Swimming Pool
Andrés Jaque, "Different Kinds of Water Pouring Into a Swimming Pool (Geoffrey & David Hockney)," 2013. Architectural drawing. Courtesy of the artist.
REDCAT: Opening: Saturday, September 21 | 7-9 pm
Artist Talk: 6 pm
In an interview with Orson Welles in 1964 about the witch-hunt being carried out against Hollywood celebrities during the McCarthy-era, the filmmaker pointed out a strange paradox: while many people during the Second World War had betrayed their friends to save their own lives, in the golden-age of Hollywood, people did it to save their swimming pools. Far from downplaying Orson Welles' observation, it is nonetheless interesting how these aquatic scenarios and backyard gardens have always been seen as something superficial, destroyers of social cooperation and enemies of the political.
In this first solo project by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation in Los Angeles, the architect prepares an exhibition, with a series of architectural case studies based in the city of L.A., in which he problematizes the importance of such cases as places of socialization and community, leaving behind the stereotypes that characterize them as disconnected spaces, symbols of ultra-individuality and comfort.
For Andrés Jaque, it is in these interior spaces where decisions are made, the heterogeneity that underlies the garden city is casually discussed, and the conflicts and negotiations of domestic space are established. These are almost invisible architectures, hidden between palapas and high hedges, conceived from the rhythms of the human body and its daily choreography. In that sense, Andrés Jaque understands his work in a way that is very similar to performance art that since the 70s has focused on the body and its relationship to its surroundings, as the main site of artistic practice. This is a dynamic architecture, one that is in constant tension, and that prioritizes its performative quality to engage daily transformations and conflicts.
In the architect's installation, the body is present through its absence, and the performative quality is represented symbolically by water—one of the main actors in the Californian backyard gardens. It is not arbitrary that this exhibition takes its name from David Hockney's drawing, "Different Kinds of Waters Pouring into a Swimming Pool, Santa Monica," 1965, made during his first years in the city. Fascinated by the way people in Los Angeles used water to help shape their private gardens into social spaces, the painting shows a series of simple pipes pouring water into a swimming pool that can't be seen. Although the material quality of water is elusive, its representation reaches a quasi-architectural dimension, without losing its ephemeral and dynamic aspect. As such, each waterfall becomes an exclusive portrait of a common situation. This might read as a metaphor for the everyday stories that the great narratives of urbanism have left out, but these are certainly places where certain forms of citizenship and interaction essential to architectural processes occur.
The exhibition Different Kinds of Water Pouring into a Swimming Pool is accompanied with a small publication by the same name that features an essay by the architect, further discussing the ideas presented in the gallery.
Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation was founded in Madrid in 2005. This architecture office explores the potential of post-foundational politics and symmetrical approaches to the sociology of technology to rethink architectural practices.
They are authors of reference buildings including Plasencia Clergy House, awarded with the Dionisio Hernández Gil Prize and finalist of the VIII Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo; House in Never Never Land, finalist of FAD Awards and Mies van der Rohe European Award. Recently, the Museum of Modern Art of New York (MoMA) acquired IKEA Disobedients as the first architectural performance piece to be included in its collection. In 2012, they presented their intervention PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society at Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona. Their work has been featured in Gwangju Biennale, 2011, and the Biennale di Venezia 2010.
Andrés Jaque has been Tessenow Stipendiat in Alfred Toepfer Stiftung FVS, and he is now professor at GSAPP Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University in New York.

New Middle School at Barrack Opens
The Robert Saligman Middle School of the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy held its first day of class on Tuesday, officially completing the merger of two Jewish day schools.
Last year, after lengthy negotiations, officials from Barrack, which also runs a high school, and the Raymond and Ruth Perelman Jewish Day School, which ran the Saligman school, agreed to join the two schools at the Barrack campus in Bryn Mawr. The school at Perelman had been providing Conservative Jewish education for grades 6-8 for 12 years and was led by Susan Friedman. Friedman is now the principal of the new pluralistic school.
On Tuesday, the school held a new student orientation and appointed student ambassadors to help newcomers joining the school.

I'm so sorry I haven't been around here for months and months and months, I'll try to do better.
I really need advice. I was really truly blessed to have a newborn and infant who latched perfectly and we didn't have many breastfeeding problems. She went through a scratching/pinching phase at about six months that had my belly bleeding, but got over that. Now she's 17-mnonths-old and PINCHING my "unused" nipple and scratching and actually taking CHUNKS out of my breasts. I have a mommy necklace I try to distract her with, I play "finger games" with her, I put her hand on the outside of my shirt. The other night I was almost crying while getting ready for bed because she has caused so much damage that nursing hurts no matter how good her latch may be. I do NOT want to wean, but I'm so sick of cringing when that little hand moves over to my breast and she pulls down my tank or up my shirt and actually yanks away from me if I try to restrain her.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to get through this. And any suggestions on what I should do to lessen the pain in the mean time?

As children across the United States prepare to return to school in the next month, residents of tornado-slammed Moore, Okla., have an additional burden to bear. World Vision is on the ground there, helping to ease the transition while providing physical and emotional support to affected children and families.
The excitement of a new school year may bring more than the usual butterflies in the stomach for children and teachers affected by the tornadoes that tore through Oklahoma in May.
Plaza Towers and Briarwood elementary schools in Moore, Okla., were ripped apart by a tornado that struck near the end of the school day on May 20. Seven third-graders died at Plaza Towers after being crushed by debris.
World Vision provided relief supplies within 24 hours of the storm, including hygiene kits, food kits, cleaning supplies, and tarps. Within weeks, the organization began supplying building materials to local partner organizations.
"Our staff are moving in to bring as much help, comfort, and encouragement as possible," Phyllis Freeman, World Vision's director for domestic disaster response, said during a damage assessment.
As back-to-school time approaches in the coming month, World Vision is stepping up its community outreach by providing play therapy, backpacks stuffed with school supplies for students, and resource materials for teachers, says Phyllis.
"Children are often so sensitive to tragic experiences. We have to do everything we can to help them cope," she says.
In June, World Vision partnered with the disaster mental health team at the University of North Texas at Dallas for four days of play and healing for children ages 5 to 12.
"We can underestimate the depth of children's feelings and maybe overlook their fears," says World Vision's Carla LaFayette, who attended play therapy sessions. "Through play, through toys, they were able to express what was going on in inside."
Playing with a sand tray was a favorite activity. Children could pick up any toy or object and use it to tell a story in the sand.
Carla watched a boy pick up two play people, put one of them down in the sand and place the second one on top of the first. Then he said, "Stay down, stay down. It will be okay. You're going to be okay."
When the therapist asked him what that meant, he said, "When the tornado came, that's what my mom did. She got on top of us and kept saying we'd be okay."
In its work overseas, World Vision often operates Child-Friendly Spaces to provide learning and play opportunities for children affected by conflict or disasters. Phyllis says the days for play and healing in Oklahoma will serve as a model for a similar disaster recovery program right here in the United States.
Working with local school districts, World Vision is preparing to distribute 1,000 backpacks to students affected by the tornadoes. At the same time, teachers will be able to select supplies to restock their classrooms from a mobile resource center.
"We expect to partner with seven schools, five in Moore and one each in southeast Oklahoma City and Shawnee," says Phyllis.
"The reality is kids can't learn without pencils, and crayons, and paper," says Romanita Hairston, World Vision's vice president of U.S. programs. "It's one less thing for families who are rebuilding their entire life to think about."
World Vision distributed backpacks in Joplin, Mo., and Tuscaloosa, Ala., after tornadoes devastated both cities in 2011.
For Joplin, Mo., mom Collisha Rauch, the simple backpack moved her to tears. She picked up three for her children, including 6-year-old Alli who came with her.
Collisha says, "It may seem like a little thing to some people, but whenever you're 6 and everything else in your life has been turned upside down, it's just a real blessing to have something to look forward to, something normal."
Read another article about World Vision's initial response to the deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma — and read about our work with communities in need all across the United States.
Please pray for children and families who were left devastated by the deadly tornadoes that struck Oklahoma in the late spring. Pray that the transition back to school this fall would help bring about a new sense of normalcy that was destroyed by the storm; and pray that parents would be equipped with the resources they need to help their children succeed in the new school year.
Make a one-time donation to our U.S. Disaster Response Fund to help World Vision continue to provide support to survivors of the Oklahoma tornadoes, as well as those affected by sudden-onset emergencies that take place elsewhere here in the United States.
Or, make a one-time gift to help provide school supplies for American children. Many students from low-income families go back to school without even the most basic items necessary to succeed in the classroom. Your donation will help deliver goods like books, videos, pens, pencils, crayons, educational games, sports equipment, and more for these children in great need.

My three week old is not a happy camper after he eats. After most feedings, he has incredibly loud burps, spits up, often gets the hiccups, and seems to be straining to pass gas or poop. His tummy gets hard, and he appears to be in pain. I would say that after nearly every feeding, he cries for a minimum of 5 minutes, and sometimes up to an hour. This makes it very difficult for him to settle down and sleep, because even if he appears to be asleep after nursing, often when I put him down he will wake up and start grunting and crying. So often, by the time he settles down and sleeps, it is time for him to wake up and eat again (at least during the day - I don't wake him at night). In addition to the tummy pain, he seems cranky and overtired.
I discussed this with his pedi at his 1 and 2 week visits. After the 2 week visit the pedi put him on a probiotic (BioGaia) and also said we could try Maalox. The Maalox seems to have some value (when he doesn't spit it up), but another week has gone by and it is killing me to see my baby in obvious pain every time he eats. At this point, should I be pushing the pedi to try something stronger for reflux?
I should also mention that, at least between the 1 and 2 week visits, he gained 10 oz, so he seems to be gaining well despite the spitting, etc. He is a very efficient eater and typically eats on one side only, for about 10-15 minutes.

Dying: A Guide for Helping and Coping
Permanent Press, 2000 - 208 pages
"Dying" is a guide to not only dealing with the death of loved ones, but an exploration of facing one's own death. It is a book designed to amplify and challenge one's own perception of the dying process and death itself in order to allay fears and help one, hopefully, to build a richer spiritual foundation.
It is a practical book designed to teach tools for honest and open communication between the dying and one's family and friends, a book that offers suggestions on everything from the most challenging and painful aspects such as bereavement to the everyday choices of pain alleviation, funerals, hospital stays, alternative treatment, financial problems, and caring at home for the terminally ill.
Throughout the book, Dr. Shepard utilizes not only the perceptions of sages throughout the ages, but his own interviews with both dying patients and families which are moving, comforting, and enlightening.

My husband suggested that we "up the ante" and be competitive. He believed that competition would make us more productive and add to the excitement. So we decided to enter the Great Texas Birding Classic.
This birding contest is put on by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Their website bills the event as "the world's biggest, longest and wildest bird-watching tournament." It has been held every year since 1996.
The website made participation sound easy and straightforward. It read: "Select your team's category based on your age, your ability and how much time you have to go birding. Just find some friends and family to form your team, select the tournament that fits your lifestyle, register your team and start counting birds."
We talked it up to our friends and soon had five willing souls: my husband and me, Nancy Lawson, Kay Past and Linda Vegh. Our category would be Casual Adult Birders which means we all had to be 19 plus years old. No problem there!
Our team needed a name. Since none of us five are "spring chickens" anymore, I suggested The Sprung Chickens. But cooler, less cynical heads prevailed, and we named ourselves Los Paisanos.
Los Paisanos decided the State Park Tournament would fit our lifestyles. We would bird Choke Canyon State Park. The rules stated that we could bird for a single 24-hour day from midnight to midnight. Now I began to squirm. Midnight to midnight does not fit my lifestyle. I do not like to get up before sunrise. Kay Past agreed with me, so we compromised. We decided the team would start just before dawn (to get the night birds) and go until dark.
Later, I found out we could have done a Big Sit! Regional Tournament and stay within a 17-foot circle all day. Or even better, we could have selected the Sunrise to Noon Tournament. Why we didn't, I'll never know. I am sure it was my husband's fault. He never even told me those were options.
The contest rules state that you can choose any day between April 15 and May 15. Since we wanted to get the most migratory species, we wanted to pick a day in the last week of April or the first week in May. We are pretty busy for retired folks. The only day that all our team members could participate was April 30.
With the day selected, I whined some more about having to get up at 4 a.m. in order to be at Choke Canyon before daybreak. Couldn't we camp out the night before? Then we could just roll out and start birding. We could even listen for night birds from the comfort of our sleeping bags.
The team liked that idea, so we reserved a screened shelter for the night of April 29. Most of us haven't done much camping in recent years, so we excitedly discussed who had sleeping bags, who had cooking gear, what to eat, how many flashlights we'd need, etc. We forgot all about the arduousness of spending a whole day birding.
But Robert hadn't. He had his eyes on the prize. He estimated that we'd need to see 90 to 100 species to win. So he scheduled in some scouting time a week before. We drove around Choke Canyon counting birds. We walked out onto the dried up lakebed of 75-Acre Lake to find small shorebirds feeding in the mudflats. We scanned the waters of Choke Canyon Lake with a spotting scope to find cormorants, ducks and herons. Even after five hours of hard work, though, we had only counted 52 species.
We were going to need to get every possible bird species to get close to 90. So we arranged with the park supervisor to get the drip running in the park's bird sanctuary. Thirsty birds would come to water. We also hung feeders and put out cut oranges to attract orioles, hummers and migrating warblers. The bird sanctuary would be our ace in the hole for concentrating some of the smaller species.
We also secured permission to walk down to the old campgrounds below the dam. This area is no longer open to the public because of TPWD budget constraints. But as a different habitat it promised to hold species that the other parts of the park wouldn't have. We needed to bird this area to get our count numbers up. We were delighted to have access.
Only Robert and I were able to pre-scout this area. It happened to be on the hottest day since last summer. We took our dog and one small bottle of water and set out at 3 p.m. By 4 p.m., we were at the campground on the banks of the Frio River. It was nearing 100 degrees; our water was gone, and I was thinking of cooling my feet in the river. That's when we saw the alligator gliding across the small basin in the river. That's also when I heard a splash at my feet. The dog had gone for a swim! We coaxed her out of the water. But have you ever tried to get a basset hound to do what you want when she wants to do something else? It took a while. Fortunately, the alligator wasn't hungry.
The dog was cool for the walk back up the hill, but we weren't. It was slow going for me as the incline seemed to get steeper and steeper. Where was this hill when we were coming down? Robert and the dog watched me from the top. For the first time I had some misgivings about birding this section. But there were too many good species to pass it up. We'd do it, and we'd hope we all would survive.
As it turned out, a cool front blew in the night before count day. Temperatures at 5:30 a.m. were in the 50s. Even Robert's admonitions that "we are here to seriously count birds" and "we are not here to look at wildflowers or to have fun" couldn't dampen our enthusiasm. We set out on the morning of April 30 in high spirits. By the end of the day we had recorded 91 species of birds!
We saw many good birds. We each had our favorite: Linda was delighted with the flock of sweet, lovely Cedar Waxwings feeding on the mulberries. Nancy was struck by the exquisite, long-legged beauty of Black-necked Stilts. Kay couldn't get over the flaming gorgeousness of a male Vermilion Flycatcher. Robert was pleased with his identification of a Pectoral Sandpiper combing the lakeshore. I was happy to see a flock of Yellow-headed Blackbirds, all female. Even without their flamboyant males, these female blackbirds were pretty and special.
Did we win? Did we even place among the teams birding state parks? Well, we won't know until the tournament is over on May 15. Watch for the final results in a future column.

We've been doing fairly well over the last few weeks. Using the SNS for all supplementation has resulted in using just 3oz formula a day on average. But as I've posted before, for me, the SNS is sometimes difficult. I'm starting to worry about how I'm going to keep it going over the Christmas period. We have family up to stay. I can BF in front of my family but not my in-laws (they are lovely people but very old fashioned and I respect that). I don't feel comfortable with using the SNS at all in front of any of my visitors as she's off and on all the time and so there's no way of being discrete. In addition to the 3oz formula she gets, I pump and supplement with the pumped milk (usually another 4-5oz). It takes her such a long time to 'eat' with the SNS that from about 3pm when I need to start supplementing, she's on it for hours at a time until she goes to sleep at about 10pm.
I don't want to be confined to my room for that long and I don't want to give a bottle. My family kind of understand my desire to BF but in their opinion, 'the odd bottle won't hurt'. Not to mention the 'I gave you solids from 1 month!!'. Of course my unwillingness to give any until 6 months is the same as saying that my mum did it wrong. Also they will be here to see Eleanor and as we live away, get little chance. I want them to have every chance to bond with her. All in all, I'll have visitors for a week.
Any suggestions?...eg would night (dream) feeding rather than pumping cut down some of the supplementation? Is there some way that I can make her take more and so have a bit of a break between feeds in the evening? Would using the wider tubing be better for a while so that she drinks quicker..I don't want her to get even lazier.
Thanks for your help!

text: The British Roswell Lee Brickley posted:6/17/2013 2:12:00 PM One of the more famous UFO cases associated with Cannock Chase happened in the spring of 1964, and involved an unidentified craft that reportedly blew up in the skies over mainland Europe. A small part of the craft landed in West Germany and another much larger part landed close to the small town of Penkridge. It is alleged that three bodies were recovered from the crash site at Cocksparrow Lane by both RAF and NATO intelligence services. Now, I feel it is necessary for me to point out that the information only came to light fully in the 1990's after Leonard Stringfield, a U.S Naval officer, released the files of a retired third class U.S Navy source, who was stationed in the Caribbean at the time of the incident and had intercepted a secret Soviet transmission. He explained that the Russian message mentioned a UFO malfunctioning and crashing to earth in the West Germany and Penkridge locations. What makes the story even more credible is that there have actually been some witnesses come forward.
