I hate middle of the night leg cramps
. Not a fun way to wake up.
Hydrate yourself better.ReplyCancel
Are you pregnant? Eat moar bananas! And drink lotsa waterReplyCancel
Drink Gatorade and cramps will go away. Did in my life. If I stop, the cramps always return. Honest.ReplyCancel
a banana before bed gives you strange vivid dreams—too much potassiumReplyCancel
and by vivid I don't mean Farrah Abrahams sex tape company—-ReplyCancel
@7 yeah i read if u put a bar of soap under sheet by ur legs that helps. I recommended to my mom, but along with other things, something worked but don't know which.ReplyCancel
Just once, wouldnt you love to post the truth about pictures and entries on face book?! As in" your baby is ugly and your house is a mess" or " if u show me that freaking cat( dog) one more time, im gonna scream" or " your kid has no talent, the teacher looks drunk and the kids looked like they didnt know what they were doing"' or " your posting of ambiguous song lyrics is working my last good nerve", or " your political opinions are of no interest to me , and in fact, are making me rethink our whole friendship". You know, like that.ReplyCancel
Interesting @ 7. What a strange 'cure'.ReplyCancel
Bananas never worked for me. At least not as fast as drinking a boat load if water.
Haven't had one for a while. If I get one tonight I'm calling Enty. EEEEEEENNNTYYYYYYY
I hate them. Glug, gluggggg, gluggggg. I'm not getting them , I'm not getting them….ReplyCancel
I found the pregnancy ones the worst, by far. Banana or no bananaReplyCancel
If you put pressure on that muscle or ligament or whatever behind the kneecap, it often relieves the acute cramping.
For treatment, potassium is great (if your cramps are caused by hypokalemia). FWIW, many people swear by a glass of tonic water before bed, due to the quinine content.ReplyCancel
I have to take a calcium/magnesium/zinc pill twice a day for mine. Pickles also help. And cider vinegar.ReplyCancel
Liddy, I am soooooo sick of selfies, duck faces. Pet pictures, depressing news story shares, those landscape pictures with quotes about life, people "checking in" to hospitals so all of their friends ask "What's wrong", guys sulking about girls they dated for 1 week, yoga pics, pictures of the big screen at some concert noone cares about, filtered pics of any kind….I could go on! God, I'm bitchy today!ReplyCancel
try menstrual cramps or contraction THEN tell me how "leg" cramps compare…Jerk Enty!
>:^( perhapsReplyCancel
I think the technical term is VaguebookingReplyCancel
@glitter – I forgot about the mustard – that works too. I stole a few small mustard packets from my local deli & keep them in a tin on my bed table. Works well. I read the Sunday column from the Peoples Pharmacy – they have a lot of "folk cures". The things people have written in about rosacea have really helped Mr. B.ReplyCancel
Nothing worked on mine until my underlying hypothyroidism was treated. YMMV.ReplyCancel
@SusanB email me about that if you don't mind!ReplyCancel
Snootches- i dont find you remotely bitchy, lol, cos i feel same. I will add dislike too for the over-the-top optimistic shit like- my special sweater made of unicorn fur arrived today!? I feel magical!" And ' why cant we all get along, like the precious raindrops falling from a cloud. They arent fighting, just united in their cause to get to ground!" Ugh, lolReplyCancel
Gatorade, bananas, and if you're on a statin, take it earlier in the day.ReplyCancel
@ Blasie – I was just about to suggest the same thing. This is the only way I can stretch my legs without getting a leg cramp. If I point my toes away from my body, Boom! Instant cramp.
Mind you, when I take magnesium every day, I never get leg cramps. Then I goof off, don't take the pills, then the cramps return, and I smarten up.
Funny where someone said that when she eats a banana, she gets cramps. When I'm low on magnesium and start to take it again, the first day, it takes almost nothing for me to get leg & foot cramps. Then all is well. It's almost like the muscles are reacting to it's presence after being depleted.ReplyCancel
My doc said take an occasional magnesium supplement..works!ReplyCancel
I saw an episode of "The Doctors" last week where they had a woman on who had horrible leg cramps at night all the time and she said she found a trick that worked. When you get the cramp, put your fingers around your upper lip and squeeze hard. She swears it works.
So I got a cramp in my calf the other night, it was bad, really bad. I tried that trick. Didn't work worth shit.
So, I got nothin'.
But if anybody comes up with a remedy … I'm listening!ReplyCancel
OK, read your comments, thanks for the ideas. As for magnesium deficiency… there's this powder called CALM (CALcium + Magnesium) that has some sort of acid like vinegar added because you need an acid medium to absorb calcium and magnesium apparently. I got it at Real Foods and keep forgetting to take it. You can dissolve it in a glass of water or juice.
Must remember to take it and see if it helps.
I don't get muscle cramps very often but I got one so bad a few weeks ago that my calf muscle was actually cramping/sore for days afterward even when I was awake.
Sometimes if I really stretch out my leg and flex my foot and stretch the muscle it helps the cramp go away faster.
Yeah, menstrual cramps are worse/yuckier.ReplyCancel
You need more potassium in your diet and at least 8 glasses of water a day. Also, if you arent a regular partaker of yoga I would suggest doing plow pose before bed. i do yoga alot but I think even Iif you dont do it poses like this will help with circulation.
So remember Enty. Plow pose before bed at night. Start slow and work your way up to the full pose.
No need to thank me. A check in the mail will suffice. 😉ReplyCancel
@glitter – my Dad swears by the mustard thing. He even keeps mustard by his bed for that very reason.ReplyCancel

A group of North Central students spent a week in New Orleans this December as part of the First-Year Experience program. Over the summer, all incoming first-year students read the Dave Eggers book "Zeitoun" about a family's struggles in the Crescent City following Hurricane Katrina's devastation in 2005. The theme of "Building an Ideal City" was explored during the seven-week FYE 100 course in the fall.
Using the case study approach, students and faculty worked together to solve a contemporary, real-world problem from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The exercise exposed new students to issues essential to a successful academic and personal college experience, such as the tenor of academic discussions, the role of evidence and logical argument, the importance of information literacy, the skills in working in a collaborative fashion and the critical role of values in making wise decisions.
The December trip to New Orleans provided an additional level of experience for 44 first-year students, who were accompanied by five upperclass FYE mentors and five faculty.
"Performing community service in New Orleans served as a follow-up to our study of that city in FYE courses," said Amy Clarke Sievers, director of student involvement. "We used New Orleans as a case study to introduce difference disciplines of study."
The trip was a milestone for North Central's FYE program, which is designed to help students transition to the college experience both academically and socially. Student Gail Oesterle, a psychology major from Munster, Ind., was among the 44 FYE students who made the trip. She wrote the following about her experience:
Beautiful pristine houses with large porches lined the main streets of New Orleans. Then, the bus turned, which revealed a line of houses with mounds of debris in the backyard and boarded-up windows that looked like they hadn't been touched since Hurricane Katrina.
After 17 hours on a bus from North Central, we were restless and ready for the ride to end. We knew we were doing service work, but we did not yet know what or for whom. However, we could see that without question New Orleans still needed help.
For a week, 44 students lived in four dorm-style rooms, one for boys and three for girls. We volunteered with the United Saints Recovery Project Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a half-hour break for lunch. We met with a professor over breakfast and at dinner to talk about our experiences.
Daryl Kiesow, founder and director of the United Saints, stood in front of the group to explain the basics. Tall and blond, he was once a successful roofer in Minnesota before doing a two-week stint in New Orleans after Katrina. Since then, he has dedicated his life to improving the lives of others through his nonprofit organization that uses the oldest black church in New Orleans as its base. Since its creation, United Saints has been giving volunteers a way to reach out to help others in New Orleans.
Every morning, each of us put our name on a white board under an assignment. At each of the different places we could pick from a number of tasks. For example, we could gut a house by tearing out drywall or clean out a church's kitchen or paint a house's siding.
The people we helped thanked us warmly—they couldn't do the jobs themselves for a variety of reasons. But they tried to make us feel welcome. One woman bought lunch for the students who worked on her house. Others just thanked the workers.
We heard many peoples' stories of what happened to them during the flood and what they did afterward. Arthur Booker, who was in a singing group called the Louisiana Purchase that opened for and toured with the Temptations for more than a decade, told stories of days on the road with one of the top performing groups in America. Then he talked of his heart attacks and caring for his mother. He explained about contractors who overcharged and underworked. He wished that people would help themselves when possible before expecting others to help them.
Then there was Mack, who had grown up in New Orleans before living in New York and accumulated antique cars to restore. He moved back to New Orleans shortly before Katrina hit, which destroyed all of the cars. However, he still bought a building to use as a garage to store and repair cars. Then, he started thinking about his time in the community center as a young man. So he used his life savings to create the Lower Ninth Ward Village in the section of New Orleans that's still farthest from recovery.
Creating the center taught Mack an important lesson: Money isn't everything. Money means you can buy more stuff, maybe, but it doesn't compare to having a relationship with another human being. As the saying goes, money doesn't buy happiness. For Mack, however, cooperating with others to work on a huge project did generate happiness.
Then we met Kathy Zeitoun, one of the family members featured in the book "Zeitoun," which we read as part of our First-Year Experience course. She spoke to us about dealing with Katrina and its aftermath and what outlook she had after Katrina.
All sorts of people shared their stories, but those who talked about purpose gave us a real reason for why we came down. People talked about how Katrina changed their lives, but not once did a person say the word "ruin." Instead, they talked about what they did and what still needed to happen to make lives better.
We came down in hopes of painting a few walls. We did more than that. We became closer to others in our service group and made connections to those outside the group. We learned that coming down five years after Katrina gave direct help and indirect hope. We learned how lucky we were and how we could pass that good fortune on to others. We learned why giving up a week of winter break was worth it.

RunningJumper: I think you would find your squatting much more effective if you added weight to it and cut down the reps. Doing 100 bodyweight squats is probably a good cardio workout and may build some endurance strength but if you are looking to build muscle/strength/explosiveness (vertical jump) I really gotta recommend adding weights.
If you don't have much weight available, two bags filled with canned good in each hand will do. You may also want to consider lunges. Check them out on youtube.
Props for hitting the squats though. You have no idea how many people I know that just flat out don't workout their lower body at all. Squats are one of the single best motions you can do for your health.


text: I have recently returned to work full time and am pumping three times a day at work. I usually pump when I get up each morning and am able to get 4 oz from one breast and then I feed my daughter with the other breast before taking her to daycare. The first time I pump at work I usually get 4 oz from one side and 2 oz from the other side. The second time I pump I only get 2 1/2 to 3 oz from one side and 1 oz from the other side. By the third time I pump I only get 2 oz from one side and 1/2 oz from the other side. Then I feed my daughter as soon as I get home and she seems to eat every hour in the evenings to get full. Does anyone else have this problem of lower milk supply as the day goes on? Is there anything that I can do to increase my milk supply during the day? My daughter is using about 4 - 4oz bags during the day at the babysitters, but I am only able to pump about 12 oz at work. The other 4 oz has to be pumped first thing in the morning. Right now I am able to keep up with her eating, but I'm afraid that if she starts to eat more I won't be able to.

- Abstract
- A new kinematic and dynamic study of the halo of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 is presented. From a spectroscopically confirmed sample of 340 globular clusters and 780 planetary nebulae, the rotation amplitude, rotation axis, velocity dispersion, and total dynamical mass are determined for the halo of NGC 5128. The globular cluster kinematics were searched for both radial dependence and metallicity dependence by subdividing the globular cluster sample into 158 metal-rich ([Fe/H] > -1.0) and 178 metal-poor ([Fe/H] < -1.0) globular clusters. Our results show that the kinematics of the metal-rich and metal-poor subpopulations are quite similar: over a projected radius of 0-50 kpc, the mean rotation amplitudes are 47 ± 15 and 31 ± 14 km s-1 for the metal-rich and metal-poor populations, respectively. There is a indication within 0-5 kpc that the metal-poor clusters have a lower rotation signal than in the outer regions of the galaxy. The rotation axis shows an interesting twist at 5 kpc, agreeing with the zero-velocity curve presented by Peng and coworkers. Within 5 kpc both metal-rich and metal-poor populations have a rotation axis nearly parallel to the north-south direction, which is 0°, while beyond 5 kpc the rotation axis twists ~180°. The velocity dispersion displays a steady increase with galactocentric radius for both metallicity populations, with means of 111 ± 6 and 117 ± 6 km s-1 within a projected radius of 15 kpc for the metal-rich and metal-poor populations; however, the outermost regions suffer from low number statistics and spatial biases. The planetary nebula kinematics are slightly different. Out to a projected radius of 90 kpc from the center of NGC 5128, the planetary nebulae have a higher rotation amplitude of 76 ± 6 km s-1 and a rotation axis of 170° ± 5° east of north, with no significant radial deviation in either determined quantity. The velocity dispersion decreases with galactocentric distance. The total mass of NGC 5128 is found using the tracer mass estimator, described by Evans et al., to determine the mass supported by internal random motions and the spherical component of the Jeans equation to determine the mass supported by rotation. We find a total mass of (1.0 ± 0.2) × 1012 Modot from the planetary nebula data extending to a projected radius of 90 kpc. The similar kinematics of the metal-rich and metal-poor globular clusters allow us to combine the two subpopulations to determine an independent estimate of the total mass, giving (1.3 ± 0.5) × 1012 Modot out to a projected radius of 50 kpc. Lastly, we publish a new and homogeneous catalog of known globular clusters in NGC 5128. This catalog combines all previous definitive cluster identifications from radial velocity studies and HST imaging studies, as well as 80 new globular clusters with radial velocities from a study of M. A. Beasley et al. (in preparation).

The chapter was organized April 20, 1940, in Kenedy at the Goff Hotel, and as charter members were identified, current members reminisced about the service of these women to the organization. During the program portion of the meeting, First Vice President Pam Burge led a game of "Pin the Hat on the Founder" in which members placed hats representing the purposes of the DKG Society on a woman's silhouette. Advancing the professional interest and position of women in education is one of the seven purposes of which Pam spoke.
After members enjoyed a delicious brunch and visiting with colleagues, President Lana Massengale called the meeting to order. Jan Anderson presented a reading titled "What We Learn Through Our Ages" in honor of the birthday celebration. Burge led the pledge to the American flag. Betty Thornton, chairman of the Scholarship Committee, recommended two young women to receive Gamma Omicron's book grants. Members voted to award $400 grants to Aileen Lundquist, a senior at Karnes City High School, and Korrie Rader of Beeville. Members also voted to pay the $50 registration fee for all Gamma Omicron members who will be attending the Alpha State Convention in June in Austin. At the convention, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops and hear outstanding speakers. Massengale and Dr. Linda Vegh will have quilts on display in the Visual Arts Room at the convention and Pam Kerlick will have a display of photos. Other members were urged to exhibit their artwork there also.
One feature of the chapter meeting that members look forward to is hearing about the activities and accomplishments of their Gamma Omicron sisters. Myrtle Lucke showed the chapter the gold medals she had won the day before at the Senior Games in San Antonio. Myrtle received gold medals in the basketball free throw contest and women's 3-on-3 basketball, the 80+ division. The members offered her their congratulations and gave her a standing ovation.
To complete the chapter birthday celebration the Kenedy hostesses had provided a cake decorated with red roses, the symbol of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society. Members enjoyed their cake and then sang the Delta Kappa Gamma Song. DKG is an organization of key women educators that promotes professional and personal growth of women educators and excellence in education.

Put couscous in a large heatproof bowl, pour over stock, then cover with cling film for 5 mins until liquid is absorbed. Melt half the butter in a pan, then gently cook onion and garlic for 5-8 mins until soft. Set aside. Dry-fry pine nuts for a few mins until golden. Combine onions, pine nuts, apricots and herbs with couscous. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice, season, then stir in egg. Leave to cool.
Using the back of a knife, stretch rashers to 1½ times their original length. Lay, slightly overlapping, on a large sheet of foil to form a rectangle. Make a few slashes in the thickest part of each chicken breast and lay between 2 sheets of cling film. Use the base of a heavy pan to bash the chicken until about 1cm thick. Arrange chicken over the bacon, fitting so there are no gaps, but leave a border on longer sides. (This helps to roll up the chicken.)
Spoon stuffing over chicken in a strip along one of the longest sides. Using tin foil to help, roll bacon and chicken around stuffing like a log. Wrap tightly in foil, twisting the ends to secure, then chill for 2 hrs or up to 1 day.
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Place chicken, join-side down, in a roasting tray. Cook for 30 mins, then unwrap foil and brush roast with remaining butter. Cook, uncovered, for 20-30 mins more until cooked through, and the stuffing is hot (a metal skewer inserted into the chicken's centre should come out hot). Cool and wrap in fresh foil to transport.

I made this for a large family picnic, It was very well received and looked stunning. I kept it in the fridge overnight but even then the stuffing fell out when I removed the tinfoil, so I re wrapped it in baking parchment and took that off about 15 minutes before the end cooking time, next time I might try to tie it . The stuffing was delicious and it was a huge success
I made this last weekend for a dinner party, it was amazing and everone was very impressed as i sliced it at the table.
I prepared it the night before as I had read comments on here that it can fall apart. As i had left it to stand overnight it didnt fall apart at all.
I replaced apricots with roasted red peppers and I also cut it in half, it held together better and didnt take as lon to cook.
There was alot of coscous left so i served that as an extra side dish.
Great for a dinner party especially as it can be prepared the night before!

Have made this a few times now and it has always turned out well - and just like the illustration. Have taken it twice to a Glyndebourne picnic as my contribution. Stuffing has always been just the right quantity but it has occasionally taken slightly longer to cook - although I have changed ovens meantimes so that could be why. Can't recommend it highly enough and the apricots do create a lovely balance to the savoury meat, bacon and herbs.
Really enjoyed this. I had trouble rolling it though - should have put two pieces of foil together 'portrait' style, to have more spare edge for rolling it up. I ended up with about 4 layers of foil to hold it together and it didn't make a neat roll like in the picture - but the taste was great. Next time I wouldn't bother with the pine nuts, which i didn't think added too much to the flavour and are an expensive ingredient that I don't usually have in the house.
Our friend served this to us about 2 months ago - it was excellent and we've prepared it ourselves 4 or 5 times since. We've always served it hot but there's always been plenty left over for a delicious cold lunch the following day(s) - it's really nice in a heated and split pitta bread. A truly fabulous recipe.
Update from above.... You can freeze it before you cook it!
I prepared it all from fresh ingredients ( I used a turkey breast, cut it lengthways and opened it out like a book, bashed it a bit then added the stuffing - I used sundried tomato and garlic cous cous) then wrapped the bacon around it with the foil) I then put another covering of foil around it and put it in the freezer - it was there about a week.
I defrosted it at room temperature for 12-14 hours then put it in the fridge until I needed to cook it later that day. The turkey breast looked a bit bigger than the picture so I cooked it for 45 minutes covered and 45 minutes uncovered - turning the temperature up quite high for the last 15 minutes to get the bacon really crispy.
It was really delicious and looked great too! My dad even liked it and he HATES chicken or turkey! We had it with new potatoes, green beans, carrots and broccoli and some chicken gravy.
Am currently eating some cold now for lunch with salad.
I served this at a luncheon today for 8 ladies. We ate it hot - with a warm salad of blanched broad beans, runner beans and mangetout. (with spring onion and baby tomatoes for colour). A light drizzle of Olive oil and a squeeze of lemon and some home-baked bread finished it off. Can highly recommend - it can be put together the night before - and then all it needs in an hour in the oven

According to the lawsuit filed in January, the ambulance company is seeking $24,290 in unpaid patient transfer fees.
Gabriel Aleman said that the bills stem from patient transfers within the Christus Spohn System.
"They are supposed to pay for that," he said.
Aleman said he doesn't want the lawsuit to reflect badly on the care the hospital staff provides.
"It is nothing against the hospital per se," he said.
Likewise, it should not reflect upon the administration.
"I worked with that administrator in the past in Kenedy," Aleman said. "It is nothing toward him personally."
Aleman said he had worked with Raymond Ramos,the former head of the hospital, to get the bill settled.
"I have tried," he said.
"I still believe this hospital is a blessing to this community, but business is business.
"I would not hesitate for myself to go into this hospital.
"It is nothing to do with the hospital."
Aleman said that since he filed the lawsuit, he has been "blackballed" and is no longer called for transfers by staff.
"I have been taken off their rotation," he said. "I knew we were going to be blackballed once we filed this lawsuit."
Aleman, however, is still taking people to the hospital as part of his agreements with the city and the county.
As the official ambulance service for the city and county, the company transports people not only to Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville, but also to Otto Kaiser in Kenedy—whichever is closer.
"I believe in this hospital," Aleman said.
According to court documents, the transfers in question occurred throughout last year—each listed in what is identified as Exhibit A in the suit.
Aleman said that it is not uncommon for a hospital to transfer a patient to another facility for specialized testing.
According to the suit, "Prior to each transport listed within Exhibit 'A', plaintiff sought the prior authorization for the transport. Defendant, acting through their agents, authorized the transports and plaintiff performed," the suit reads. "Subsequently, plaintiff tendered the bills to defendant who has refused to pay any amounts on the accounts noted on Exhibit 'A.'
"The patients listed on Exhibit 'A' are all facility responsible patients for who defendant initiated the transport with plaintiff or wheelchair van transports where defendant initiated the transport with plaintiff."
His suit seeks not only the current amount he says is due but also accrued interest.
The hospital also filed paperwork responding to the suit, saying, "this defendant generally denies the allegations contained in plaintiff's original petition."
"Defendant would show that, contrary to the allegation in plaintiff's petition, all conditions precedent have not been performed or have not occurred."
Katy Kiser, spokeswoman for the hospital, said, "More than a month ago, we requested the invoices which Angel Care Ambulance has claimed are outstanding. We continue to reach out to receive this documentation. The plaintiff's counsel has not yet responded to those requests. We look forward to working with the plaintiff to resolve this matter in a timely fashion.
"We must be good stewards of our funds and must have proper documentation of services billed to the hospital."
This suit, Aleman said, is just business.
"It was not done with malicious intent," he said.

Górecki's Symphony No.4 first performances announced(October 2013)
Late works by Henryk Mikolaj Górecki, due to be premiered over coming seasons, include his Symphony No.4, with performances scheduled in London, Los Angeles and Amsterdam.
A collection of late works by Henryk Mikolaj Górecki is in preparation for premiere and publication over the coming seasons. The Polish composer left a number of scores, both large and small, compositionally complete but unperformed at the time of his death in November 2010.
Górecki's Symphony No.4 (Tansman Episodes) receives its premiere on 12 April 2014 by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrey Boreyko at the Royal Festival Hall. Performances by co-commissioners the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Zaterdag Matinee series at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam follow in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons respectively. The symphony was complete in short score with detailed annotations of orchestration and dynamics, as was the composer's usual practice. The orchestral score, with prominent obbligato roles for piano and organ, has been realised from the particell by Górecki's son Mikolaj, also a composer, following his father's instructions and employing an extensive knowledge of his orchestral works and instrumentation.
The fourth symphony does not emulate the distinct character of its vocal predecessor, the celebrated Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, but rather reflects the composer's musical journey as a whole while paying homage to his fellow-Polish composer Alexsander Tansman (1897-1986). As Górecki scholar Adrian Thomas notes, "although it appears not to quote from Tansman's music, Górecki does make use of a musical theme based on his name." The full orchestral tuttis recall the composer's monumental scores such as Symphony No.2 and Beatus Vir, while contrasting sections with chamber ensemble scoring relate to later works such as Kleines Requiem für eine Polka, with their references to folk music and traditions from the Tatra mountain region. Cast in four movements, the 38-minute work plays continuously.
A large-scale collection of choral Church Songs underway at the time of the composer's death, many dating from the mid-1980s, is now available for performance. Essentially simple in style, these choral adaptations of church melodies are scored for unaccompanied mixed voices. The extant cycle of 20 Church Songs was premiered in June by the Cracow Singers conducted by Wlodzimierz Siedlik, released on CD by Dux Records, and will soon be published for sale.
Works for choir and orchestra, currently in preparation, include a 15-minute setting of the Kyrie for SATB chorus, percussion, piano and string orchestra, due for premiere by the Polish Radio Choir in Warsaw Cathedral on 21 April 2014, part of a special Easter concert dedicated to Pope John Paul II to be broadcast on Polish Radio. There is also an hour-long cantata honouring Saint Adalbert for soprano and baritone soloists, chorus and orchestra, for future premiere. For further information about these Górecki works and their availability for performance please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sports Talk: Schaly family headed to the Lone Star State this weekend
Don Schaly used to get his hair cut at a barber shop on Acme Street in Marietta, probably less than a mile, as the crow flies, from what was then called Pioneer Park.
Since the longtime Marietta College head baseball coach's passing in March of 2005, it's been renamed in his honor Don Schaly Stadium.
The barber shop isn't much larger than an outdoor shed, but still has two chairs and a small waiting area.
Schaly often arrived at the barber shop early in the morning, many times before the barbers were even there.
He was usually in and out of there in no time flat.
Schaly was after all a very busy man at Marietta College with the Pioneer baseball program.
Ah, the MC baseball program. To this day, it's second to none in the nation, thanks to Schaly.
This weekend, the 2013 Class of the College Baseball Hall of Fame in Lubbock, Tx., will be featuring its first NCAA Division III coach: Don Schaly.
Schaly's family, which includes wife Sue and sons' John, Jim, Joe, and Jeff, will be on hand for the festivities.
In 40 years (1964-2003) at the helm, Schaly guided the Etta Express to more than 1,400 wins (1,442-329), including three national championships. Many of his players went on to play professionally, and one even managed in the major leagues.
A tough, no-nonsense skipper, he paid attention to detail, and his teams played by his rules and were always prepared to compete.
While he had a gruff voice and could be intimidating, he cared very much for his players and Marietta College baseball.
Schaly announced his retirement on Valentine's Day 2003. On May 6 of that same year, he led MC in its regular-season home finale against Muskingum College (now Muskingum University).
In a pre-game ceremony, Schaly was honored along with former Fighting Muskies baseball coach Ron Mazeroski who lost his bout with cancer in Feb. 2003.
Schaly himself would succumb to cancer two years later.
In the aftermath, Marietta College, under the leadership of Brian Brewer, a protege of Schaly, has claimed three more national baseball championships.
Schaly would be so tickled, so proud.
Coach would also be saddened by the passings of former Marietta Times sports editor Bill Robinson, sports writer Joe Davis, and retired Pioneer head football coach Gene Epley.
If Schaly were still alive today, he no doubt would be following the progress of his grandson Adam, who pitched as a freshman for Stetson University, a Division I school in central Fla.
As for Marietta College itself, well…there's been the construction of a new residence hall at the corner of Seventh and Putnam Streets, and Don Drumm Stadium has been renovated into a first-class football and track and field facility.
A few changes here and there but then some things have remained the same in Marietta.
Oh, yes, the barber shop on Acme is still open for business.

April 2 Education Rally
State Board Chairman Ronald J. Gidwitz and I will speak at a rally for education funding to be held from to Wednesday, April 2, 2003, at the Lincoln statue in front of the state capitol.
The rally is being organized by David Welch of the Unity

Peer Review on the
Staff from the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) plus
peer reviewers visited
Sen. del Valle addressed the USDE team about the
educational needs in his area as well as the bill that he is sponsoring to
I also spoke directly to educational needs and school improvement and addressed the need for acceptance of the Illini Plan (regarding the pace of school improvement towards the 100% goal of meeting and exceeding state standards in the 2013–2014 school year) by USDE.
The team review ended with the team making some broad
positive comments and identifying some items for improvement. Some of the items
will be discussed at the next Assessment and Accountability Task Force meeting
Accuracy Matters in Collecting Data for NCLB Accountability
District superintendents outside Chicago District 299 will soon receive forms to report enrollment for determining whether the schools are making adequate yearly progress (AYP). The superintendents will receive forms for district-level enrollment and forms to forward to principals for building-level enrollment.
District Demographic Sheets and School Demographic
Sheets will be sent to district offices in early April 2003 and must be returned
to our scoring contractor, NCS Pearson, for receipt no later
ACCURACY MATTERS – Reporting these enrollment counts accurately to NCS Pearson is absolutely essential, since these data will help determine whether schools and districts make AYP. The district is accountable for the accuracy of this information.
For the 2003 administration of the state tests, this enrollment information is being collected with scannable forms. For the 2004 administration, we are exploring the possibility of collecting this enrollment information online.
For more information, visit the Student Assessment Division Web site at http://www.isbe.net/assessment/2003Enroll.htm.
The 2002 Operating Expense Per
Pupil (OEPP)/Per Capita Tuition Charge (PCTC), Indirect Cost Rates (ICR), and
Financial Information Summary reports were mailed to all
district superintendents in February and March 2003. Superintendents need to
compare these reports to their district's FY2002 Annual Financial Report and
verify their accuracy. The final deadline for any changes to these reports is

KARNES CITY – In an unprecedented effort to address roadway safety, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is aggressively moving resources into several South Texas counties experiencing an economic boom from oil and gas production.
"TxDOT's mission is to provide a safe and reliable transportation system for the state of Texas. The increases we are seeing in traffic, however, is making this a challenge in some of our South Texas counties. TxDOT recognizes this and is working hard for the public to meet these challenges," said TxDOT Corpus Christi District Engineer Lonnie Gregorcyk, P.E.
The latest example began Monday, July 8, when about 50 workers, some from other areas of the state, dedicated time to improving the safety and integrity of roadways in Karnes, Live Oak and northern Bee counties. For about 10 weeks, these crews will repair and rehabilitate roadways as well as address safety issues such as edge drop-offs and potholes.
Corpus Christi District crews will be reinforced by personnel from the TxDOT Pharr District who will be working on FM 2049 in Live Oak County and by a crew from TxDOT's Yoakum District who will be deployed to FM 627 in Karnes County.
Also on Monday, work began on FM 81 between State Highways 80 and 123 in the Panna Maria area under a $3.4 million emergency contract.
The work that began Monday is in addition to some higher profile safety improvements already under way in response to the increased traffic volumes. These include:
• The addition of a passing lane on SH 72 near Pawnee; $8.4 million
• Pavement repair and construction of a new passing lane on U.S. 181 between Kenedy and Tuleta; $8.6 million
• Roadway maintenance on FM 626 from FM 99 to SH 72 and on FM 1353 from U.S. 181 to FM 2102 in Karnes County; $3.3 million
"The Texas Transportation Commission and the TxDOT administration are laser focused on maintaining and improving the safety of South Texas roads, and they are doing all they can to provide the funding and resources we need to meet these challenges," Gregorcyk said, adding projects already completed include the widening and seal coating of FM 2102 and the seal coating of SH 72.
And plans have been developed for FM 882, FM 798 and FM 791.
"TxDOT will have a high presence in northern Bee, Karnes and Live Oak counties for the foreseeable future," Gregorcyk said.

Barnes & Noble Members may use this Printable Coupon instead.
Note, certain exclusions apply. Read coupon for more details.
Original Post
I just saw an e-mail from B&N featuring their "mystery coupon" again. Basically, depending on the coupon you received, the discount could be 10, 15, 20, 30, 50% off. The last time this happened, every single SDer received the 50% off code/e-mail
If anyone missed it last time, this works great on Star Wars: The Complete Saga Bluray pre-order ($44.80+tax): Linky [barnesandnoble.com]
Just go to the customer service desk, place your order and take the printout with the barcode to the cashier. That's when you present your coupon to get the 50% off. Although most of us were able to order it this way during the last deal, some were told that the coupon excluded pre-orders (so, YMMV).
It should also work on The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy: Extended Edition pre-order [barnesandnoble.com].
Here are the 50% off multi-use in store coupons:
502001 - Nonmember 50% [barnesandnoble.com]
106381 - Member 50% [barnesandnoble.com]

The in-store coupon can be used on anything (that is doesn't exclude ) sold online so long as you pay for it in the store:
1. Order at the customer service desk what you want online (you will get the online price) and select pay in store. Do NOT mention the coupon to the rep because this will only confuse them and make them lie to you that it won't work.
2. Go to the cashier with your printout/receipt and present your 50% off coupon.
3. Act surprised when the 55 year old lady behind the counter has a premature heart attack over how lucky you are.
4. Use whatever payment method you want and rejoice in your slickdeal!
NOTE: If after the reduced online price +50%off you are still above $25 you also get FREE SHIPPING!

The new meta is still forming, but even at this early stage it seems that Kazakus will be a large part of it. This article shows all of the available potions, and explains how the ordering of the spells when cast is likely to change.
The first trick to remembering all of the options is to realise that in the potion creation stage, nearly all of the choices are fundamentally the same no matter whether the spell costs 1, 5, or 10 mana. The cost of the spell simply powers up the effect. There are ten different effects to choose from, which are outlined below. The spells are remembered more easily when you group the effects by numbers.
1, 2, 3 effects:
Icecap: Freezes 1, 2, or 3 enemy minions.
Ichor of Undeath: Summons 1, 2, or 3 friendly minions that died this game.
Kingsblood: Draws 1, 2, or 3 cards.
Shadow Oil: Adds 1, 2, or 3 random Demons to your hand.
Other effects in number order:
Felbloom: Deals 2, 4, or 6 damage to all minions.
Goldthorn: Gives your minions 2, 4, or 6 extra health.
Netherbloom: Summons a 2/2, 5/5, or 8/8 demon.
Heart of Fire: Deals 3, 5, or 8 damage.
Stonescale Oil: Gives 4, 7, or 10 Armor.
Mystic Wool: This card is unique in that it has no effect for 1 mana. It either turns a random enemy minion into a 1/1 Sheep, or all enemy minions into 1/1 Sheep.
At the moment, many of the pairings work according to the game engine, rather than in the best order, which means that Kazakus is not working as intended. An example of this would be minions that are getting killed by damage are then getting frozen before leaving play. This is correct in terms of how the game works, as deaths are always processed last, but the spells are going to be made to work outside of the regular game engine. This will make them more powerful and intuitive.
Mike Donais
We are already working on this. Feel free to post stuff like this on our bug forums. (source) This reply on Reddit confirms that the idea of the custom Spell is that it will resolve in an order beneficial to the caster, and that it will likely be changed very soon.

"Did I get all the coke off my t*ts?" Former A list tweener's first question to her publicist before walking the red carpet last night. 2013 might be her year but 2014 is going to be rehab all the time for her.
Miley Cyrus
Things go better with coke Miley.ReplyCancel
What a waste. That family is so trashy.ReplyCancel
So she wasn't too worried about her nose, just her t!ts?! Interesting.ReplyCancel
Maybe not. Maybe she's like me, a stoner who does other stuff rarely. I haven't done coke in years, but, I have done it once or twice a year as a treat in the past, just like I have with extacy, mushrooms, etc. As long as you're responsible, know your limits, and don't act stupid, you're fine. But that wouldn't make for an interesting blind item now would it?ReplyCancel
Uggh enough with the Miley overexposure.ReplyCancel
If it was on her tits she's not the one snorting. At least not from there. Maybe she has one of those twisty straws that reaches her mosquito bites. Can you imagine the amount of wasted coke getting lost in the straw?ReplyCancel
Maybe she spilled it on her chest? Total party foul.
And who knows Dezzie..Maybe she does like her pot and her Molly and an occasional bump. People do it all the time but it doesn't always escalate into full blown addiction. (I'm not really one to talk, mind you.)ReplyCancel
Well it wont be because she comes from a good family with strong values @Basil.ReplyCancel
At least she cared enough to check!!ReplyCancel
Sherry, I think its the type of person. I mean I come from a huge addiction based family on both sides, so I have had that in the back of my mind. I allow myself to enjoy something, but I know just what enjoying myself too much looks like. But that's me. I understand addiction, and its not always as easy to categorize as I have luckily been able to. I've seen farrrrr too much the last year, so many old friends and people my own age (under 30) ODing and dying because heroin is so bad here. I just think Miley reminds me a little of my white trash self at 21! Haha. I was out there like she was, soaking it all in experimenting, acting stupid, yet holding down my job and being successful. I just wasn't doing it on a public scale like she was…. I just have a soft spot for her lolReplyCancel
Maybe she had Coca-Coal on her tits?ReplyCancel
@Sillygurl: LOL! Ask niclee for a link to the buttsex tutorial. Her and her dude seem to give it rave reviews 😉ReplyCancel
Actually, no. I've said it here a million times, Miley isn't the one(s) that is in danger in the ex tweener set. Zac, Selena, Demi, and Joe are way more out of control, and hide their demons. Miley isn't a big time coke user. Don't believe everything you read…ReplyCancel

Classens Have (Classen's Garden) in Østerbro seems at first glance like a private garden, but luckily you can enjoy it too! Access this cosy public garden through the gates on Classensgade.
Assistens Cemetery (Kirkegaard) in Nørrebro is a peaceful resting place for famous names such as Hans Christian Andersen, Hans Scherfig, Søren Kirkegaard and Niels Bohr. But the beautiful grounds are also enjoyed by the living and you can even take a guided tour. Check out the hip street Jægersborggade just nearby.
Wander along the picturesque cobbled canal streets called Overgaden neden Vandet and Overgaden oven Vandet. Lined with yachts and houseboats, you can rent rowing boats here and take a drink in the café on the water.
Halmtorvet is a cute cobbled square lined with cafés in Vesterbro. Just beside this, you can access Øksnehallen, an alternative exhibition centre, and The Meatpacking District (Kødbyen). Once the daily stop-off for the meat industry, this trendy area is now the hottest place to go out for food and drinks in the city.
Cisternerne in Søndermarken, right next to the impressive Frederiksberg Gardens, is an underground museum featuring modern glass art from Denmark and around the world.
Take your own tailor-made tour of the city by kayak with professional kayak instructors. Make them as long or as short as you want and ask them to show you their favourite lesser-known parts of the city.
Copenhagen's old centre is criss-crossed with interesting little passages and alleyways, great for exploring and taking pictures. Just head out on streets like Strøget and Læderstræde and keep your eyes open left and right for some of the best examples!
Despite being one of Copenhagen's most visited places, the Freetown of Christiania has many quiet spots, such as the lovely walking trails along the lake behind it. Here, you'll walk past Christiania's unique houses and can stop in to cafes, shops and workshops around the site.
Important safety note: Christiania has always been controversial and is still a very hotly-discussed area, not least because of problems with the trading of hash. The police have recently stated that they do not have free and open access to Christiania, which may cause problems for visitors. Some visitors may find Christiania, particularly the area around Pusher Street, to be rough. When entering Christiania it is therefore extremely important that you follow the Do's and Don'ts signs up at the entrances. Here you'll find advice against running or talking on the mobile phone inside Christiania. As well as this, visitors must not take photographs or film inside Christiania.
For your own safety, we recommend that you do not take cameras with you at all to Christiania. A tourist has recently been attacked inside Christiania simply for having a camera on them, even though they were not attempting to take photographs. The same applies to cameras on mobile phones.

Just because you're the star of your very own video game doesn't automatically mean you deserve the lead role. There's a half-decent chance that one of the sidekicks is faster, stronger, more talented or just plain cooler than the actual hero, sort of like Kato and the Green Hornet.
If only the game makers would let you use them, instead.
6Gordon Freeman vs. Dog the Robot (Half-Life Series)
The big appeal of Half-Life's Gordon Freeman is that he's an everyman and, more importantly, a geek. He's a scientist. He's quiet to the point of literally being mute, and he's socially awkward. He's designed to be just like a whole lot of us in the game-playing demographic. This particular geek just has to pick up a crowbar and kill off a swarm of aliens to save the world.
Even his glasses wear glasses.
That formula works so well that Freeman was recently voted the greatest video game hero of all time. Which is pretty impressive for someone who looks like Charlie Sheen in The Arrival.
Who defeated the aliens by snorting a mountain of cocaine and trashing their hotel suite.
Upstaged by:
This guy:
In Half-Life 2, Gordon's friend Alyx introduces him to Dog, an 8-foot-tall, super-strong robot that her father built to protect her many years ago.
Not to be confused with Dog, the 6-foot strip of beef jerky built by sun poisoning and testosterone.
Dog is basically indestructible, never taking any visible damage from anything that explodes around him or gets thrown directly into his face. And since he's a giant robot and everything, he can throw all manner of heavy objects at enemy combatants, and we see him crush an unbreakable door with his robot claws to clear a path for Gordon.
The only drawback is that he technically has no battle AI, so Dog tends to run away from most combat, and much of that heavy-lifting stuff we talked about comes from his desire to play catch with his master. But we're told that Alyx has been building and improving on Dog since she was a child, so there's really no excuse not to reprogram him into less of a loyal robotic pet and more of a badass alien wrecking ball. Since, you know, humanity kind of depends on it.
Presumably, the alien forgot to leave some kibble in his dish.
Regardless, if Dog weren't around to save Gordon's scrawny ass, some building would've collapsed on his head and the whole franchise would've been kaput. So why didn't they just program Dog to carry out the mission, rather than sending in Gordon with his sad little crowbar?
5Sonic vs. Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog Series)
Back in the day, Sega was in stiff competition with Nintendo and decided to respond to the whole Mario juggernaut by giving us Sonic. He was marketed as "hip" and "cool" because he smirked 24/7, shook his finger at us even though we didn't do anything wrong and ran at top speed all the time regardless of where he was going. Time and time again, he fought against overwhelming odds and defeated the evil Dr. Robotnik, who for some reason centered all of his nefarious plots on locking forest creatures inside mechanical crabs.
And giant robotic "arms."
Upstaged by:
Say hello to Tails, a 4-year-old fox with a hideous genetic deformity that cursed him with two tails.
He's a brazen insult to the natural world.
Oh. And he can fly. You can see where this is going.
But more on that in a moment. First of all, Sonic can run and jump at ludicrous speeds, curl up into a ball and blast through enemies or destroy them with a deadly flip on top of their heads. But all this power depends on collecting rings -- if Sonic gets hit, he drops every last one he has, and if he can't manage to pick any of them up in time, he's dust.
But in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, you can pick up the second controller at any time and control Tails, who possesses the useful quality of not being able to die. He can take as many hits as you need him to, making him indispensable in boss fights and reducing Sonic to a blue mohawked liability.
But more importantly, using his twin tails as a propeller he can go anywhere he wants to, ignoring all those walls and rocks and boulders that impede Sonic's ground game. Realistically, he could fly over everything in the game, go straight to Robotnik and smash him into oblivion with his invincibility. The only way Sonic could do any of this is if Tails carried him around, so who's the sidekick here?
"Remind me again why I hang out with you."

I know Phoenix racing is struggling for sponsors
I also know they are gonna use both Regan Smith & AJ during the season, With Regan in the Daytona 500, but I thought it would be cool (especially how much the 500 pays out) if they could have afforded to bring two cars to the 500, & use both AJ & Regan. Then they would have drafting help from each other. Wouldnt that be a great little team that could story if they had two cars finish in the top 5 or something like that.

Training for Sullivan firefighters
November 6, 2013 —
MONTOUR FALLS, NY — For the 19th consecutive year Sullivan County Firefighters traveled to the New York State Fire Academy in Montour Falls to attend five different training classes.
These classes included Line of Duty Death, The Firefighters guide to Lightweight Wood Construction, Firefighter Skills Refresher with Live Fire, Flammable and Combustible Liquid Emergencies and Fire Alarm Workshop.
The firefighters came from 22 fire departments: Bloomingburg, Callicoon, Fallsburg, Grahamsville, Highland Lake, Hortonville, Hurleyville, Jeffersonville, Kauneonga Lake, Lake Huntington, Lava, Liberty, Lumberland, Monticello, Narrowsburg, Rock Hill, Roscoe, Summitville, White Lake, White Sulphur Springs, Wurtsboro and Yulan.
This was an opportunity for firefighters to take classes not normally taught at the Sullivan County training center. The two days of intensive training were well received by the firefighters participating in the classroom and hands-on activities.
The fellowship of the firefighters was quite evident as students and instructors exchanged thoughts, ideas and opinions on the training received throughout the weekend during meals and evening social time.

This is the watch that uses an array of LEDs that illuminate in increments as the time progresses. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the display uses 28 LEDs to depict the time. Twelve hash-mark and numbered LEDs (12, 3, 6, and 9) on the face's outer perimeter depict the hour, 12 LEDs in the middle represent 5-minute increments, and four numbered LEDs in the center display the incremental minute from 1-4. The LEDs illuminate to form an ever-changing display as the time progresses through the day--10:13 will only illuminate the "10" hour LED, both the "5th" and "10th" minute increment LEDs, and three of the four center LEDs. A display depicting 12:59 utilizes all LEDs. A press of a button repurposes the LEDs to display the date. Stainless steel case and 3/4" W band in a black electroplated finish.

returned watch-did not like
By alex
from Washougal, Washington
The watch was very stylish and light. I did not feel it was made for a men. It appears (wearing it) the face was too small. I give it to my step-son and he really messed up the time and it was hard for him (10 years ). The company has great customer service representatives. Even if you don't like, it can be return for really no reason at all. When I buy anything, I also see how the customer service works and if you get to speak to a humane, H&S has great customer service.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Apple on Thursday admitted that its laptops featuring Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) may get out of order due to already known issues with GeForce chips for mobile computers. The company advices owners of affected MacBook systems to contact Apple to get free repairs or reimbursements for repairs. The firm stressed that Nvidia misinformed it regarding possibilities of problems.
"In July 2008, Nvidia publicly acknowledged a higher than normal failure rate for some of their graphics processors due to a packaging defect. At that same time, Nvidia assured Apple that Mac computers with these graphics processors were not affected. However, after an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers with the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor may be affected," Apple said in a statement.
Apple indicated that if a MacBook Pro notebook fails within two years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if the affected MacBook Pro is out of warranty. The potentially faulty computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008
Earlier this year Nvidia admitted that its GeForce graphics processing units (GPUs) and nForce chipsets (which the company calls MCPs, media and communication processors) designed for mobile computers could fail due to issues with high-lead packaging. The company took $196 million charge to help its partners to tackle the problem, however, it said that the issue only affected certain notebook configurations. Earlier only Dell and HP acknowledged issues with their mobile systems and GeForce M-series chips.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-report.
